Reporter good morning, im scott mcgrew. President trump at his Coronavirus Briefing said the beirut explosion was possibly some sort of military attack. The u. S. General had told him that. Thats not what were hearing from the lebanese or a lot of other sources. We are eager to find out more about which general the president said he was talking to. Now a look at that forecast from meteorologist kari hall. Some cloud cover out there this morning. Yeah, were even seeing it stretching into some of our inland areas like walnut creek where some of our valleys will have a much cooler day thanks to the coastal fog that has gotten very thick. As we go into today were looking at our high temperatures that will reach up to 60 degrees near the coastline, some low 60s in San Francisco. We go over towards the santa clara valley, the trivalley as well as some of our north bay valleys, and its going to be in the 70s but, unfortunately, it doesnt stay there over the next few days. Were going to heat up and go back to summer in time for the weekend. Laura . All right, thank you very much. Well be back were back. 7 30.

Nationwide, many teachers are pushing back against inperson teaching with some schools already reporting coronavirus outbreaks. Nbcs joe fryer is in los angeles with this. Morning. Reporter hey, hoda. 80 of kids are expected to start the school year by learning remotely. But in many communities across the country, including some places where infections are surging, some teachers are being pressured to go back to the classroom. Whether protesting from inside their cars or on top of them, theres a growing chorus of teachers worried about reopening schools. We want to see science that proves that its safe for our students to be in the building. Reporter as districts start to reopen, no doubt many parents are eager to put their kids back on the bus. Its going to be a good day. Reporter but some teachers fear the risk is too high. Theres no teacher who wants to be working from home behind a computer all day while also having to provide for their own families in realtime. No one wants that. But we dont want to come back to a place thats putting our lives at risk. Reporter before classes even resume in georgias Largest School district, news that 260 employees must quarantine because they either tested positive or were exposed to coronavirus. In schools that already reopened in mississippi, indiana, and tennessee are reporting covid cases. Prompting concerns nationwide. We feel its too much of a gamble. Reporter in dallas theyre looking at the possibility of inperson classes taking students temperatures, provide face shields for each student, and put plexiglass dividesers between desks. The minute we know there is an illness, we will remove the students from that classroom and disinfect and clean. Reporter classes in san jose, california, students will learn remotely but teachers will be in empty classrooms. Without us being given a choice, there seems to be an inherent lack of trust that were going to do or jobs. Reporter this agreement was reached with the Teachers Union in response to educators who had difficulty working from the home in the spring. Jody was just granted permission to work from home instead of the classroom because of Underlying Health conditions and says many teachers are upset with the new policy. Nobody should be required to be somewhere that they dont feel safe or productive. Joe, im curious about the numbers. Do we know nationwide how many kids will be taking inperson classes and how many kids will be taking Remote Learning classes . Reporter well, the numbers are constantly changing as schools assess the situation. But according to the publication education week, of the 15 Largest School districts in the u. S.

This morning were hearing from that space crew in the partnership between nasa and the two astronauts talking about their journey to the space station and spacex the two astronauts talking about their journey to the space station and back just days after that truly spectacular splash landing back on earth. There it is right there. Tom costello is in washington with their if firsthand account. Whatd they say . Reporter hey, guys you know, this was the final test flight. They spent more than two months on the International Space station. They said it seemed to go flawlessly this is all part of nasas effort to team up with the private sector spacex and eventually boeing to get to the space station, to get to the moon, and maybe to go onto mars. Three, two, one reporter from liftoff in late may liftoff of the falcon 9 reporter to the picture perfect splashdown in the gulf of mexico. Doug hurley and bob behnken said its proof that the nasa program is Mission Ready were comfortable saying crew one is ready reporter behnken describing the rapid descent back to earth aboard the aptly named crew dragon the dragon came alive it sounds like an animal coming through the atmosphere reporter feeling a jolt as parachutes deployed. Like getting hit in the back of a chair with a baseball bat reporter once in the water, a flotilla of watchers he said they had no idea and as crews readied dragon for a return to solid ground, the two men had a little fun making what hurley dubbed prank calls that probably was a pretty funny to hear that you have astronauts calling whoever we can call reporter it turns out those calls served a practical purpose testing out the capability for future missions. Among those they called, hurley and behnkens wives who are also astronauts this was a great chance to reassure them we were in the water, we were okay. Reporter itll likely be weeks before nasa and spacex officially certify this mission a success, but the space agency is already planning future flights with spacex and the effort to return to the moon one day and maybe eventually mars. Now weve got commercial crew to the International Space station and eventually were going to have a whole fleet of commercial space stations. Reporter among those set to ride in the same dragon space capsule, behnkens wife Megan Mcarthur its time for her to focus on her mission. Reporter the astronauts spent 64 days in orbit during their time on the space station, they shared the incredible perspective from more than 200 miles up. Earth. We hope it brings a little the pair hoping their historic flight inspired and provided a welcome distraction for all of us back on earth we hope it brings a little bit of brightness to 2020. Hear hear to that so how are they adjusting to life back here on our Little Planet reporter so they say they got a its going to take a little while to adjust a lot of astronauts say it can take weeks before they no longer feel like theyre on a moving ship these guys had a craving right away plan to get a puppy now. Did you notion they had a stow away on the spaceship. It was a dinosaur. His name, they say, is tremor. Now, the behnkens and hurleys have two boys about the same age. So the boys helped pick this pet dinosaur it was kind of a mascot, if you will kind of giving them an indicator of whether they were in gravity or no gravity. Now that theyre back down on earth and tremor has gone for this ride for two months, theyre going to share him kind of like the stanley cup the behnkens get him for awhile, then the hurleys get him for awhile then well see if it ends up in a museum and the guys are best friends too. Do they still want to hang out or need some space reporter you know, i got to tell you get it . Reporter i like that that was cool. As a father of daughters, i think its super cool that their wives are also astronauts, just as accomplished, and theyre on their way up eventually. I love that phone call. Honey, im home.

We are back with a serious problem facing Health Departments all over this country. Just yesterday new york citys Health Commissioner resigned after months of reported tension between her department and city hall over the response to the coronavirus. Well, shes the latest in a wave of Public Health official who is have resigned, retired, or been fired since the pandemic began. Their work comes with unprecedented pressure now and in some states the pushback has become very personal kate snow has been looking into this hi, kate good morning good morning, guys. Do you even know the name of your local Public Health official did you know it before this pandemic they are the Anthony Faucis of our states, counties, and cities working to keep us safe from communicable diseases, food contamination. Theyre usually far from the spotlight. But this pandemic has put them center stage where theyve been attacked, second guessed, and even threatened. I dont want you to be afraid i am not afraid. I am determined. Reporter back in march, Ohio Health Director dr. Amy aktin was hailed as a leader in a crisis a fan club started. I am not afraid keep up the great work. Reporter little girls dressed up like her. Any questions actons got to go reporter but then came the backlash personal attacks on the unelected official protesters showing up at her home some with guns this summer she resigned when she stepped down from that position, i really thought as a tragedy for Public Health reporter dr. Charity dean used to be second in command at the California Office of Public Health hes one of 30 who resigned, retired or been fired amid political pressure imagine if protesters showed up to the home of the fire chief to protest the way they were managing a fire. That sounds ridiculous but thats whats been happening to local Public Health officers as they strive to do their job based on science im laurie from North Central washington im emily im in South Central colorado. Im dawn. Im in san antonio and im barbara, l. A. County. Reporter hi, ladies. Hi. Reporter we brought together a group of current and former Health Officials show of hands. How many of you got into this job for the money . Thats a joke reporter laurie jones has been a community Health Director in rural washington for 17 years. Is the way youre being treated right now different than anything youve experienced in your career . Absolutely. Completely different reporter i started to hear about how other colleagues that are working had their cars broken into, been followed home, had rocks thrown through the build. Reporter how many of you have had personal threats against you . Three of the four of you okay that fear, you know, ive never felt that before a person posted something to the effect f her, f them, lets start shooting reporter when jones checked in on a family shed asked to quarantine, a Facebook Post accused her of surveilling them i felt like i needed to and threats poured in. I felt like i needed to get surveillance equipment at my home it makes everybody fearful at a time where we need to show up at our best. Reporter Barbara Ferrer oversees the l. A. County Health Department shes been getting hate mail since march. One woman said using foul language somebody needed to shoot me and another person volunteered to take that task language somebody needed to shoot me and another person volunteered to take that task on. Reporter wait a second. They thr on reporter wait a second they threatened your life . Yes we all have to understand how angry people are people have lost so much reporter across the country, some of that very public anger has gotten so personal you did not listen to we the people she needs to be fired we are going to go to her front yard reporter including the protests at peoples homes that public Health Officials have been assigned security details its just been really heart breaking to see just how much our profession is being criticized and discredited when we need Public Health, more than ever right now. Reporter dawn emrick resigned from her position in san antonio in late june do you see a difference in terms of the way women are being treated . Absolutely. A lot of the hate mail that pe comes through is really so personal in nature most of my male colleagues dont get taken on in that way at all. Reporter another source of the extraordinary pressure, elected officials. When the Colorado County where emily brown ran the Health Deputy wanted to reopen, she ra found herself at odds. I felt it was much too soon for the health of our community. Reporter she was fired shortly after. So we know of at least 30 public Health Officials who have resigned, retired, or have been fired during this pandemic thats a lot it is a lot when you lose someone with decades of experience, its riskier for the community. So its really important we support the one who is are in office and that we support science. Keep in mind the stakes of he people we rely on to protect us from disease outbreaks from e. Coli theyre the ones well look to for vaccinations for covid19. What can people do to support those in their communities all those officials there said theyre doing the best to do their job based on science.
