Reporter just days away and theres big news in the bay area with several of those Voting Centers opening throughout the county like this one behind me. This is the san mateo voting center. If youre here in san mateo or in Alameda County those Voting Centers are super centers, essentially larger buildings. You dont have to have the smaller polling locations throughout the county. Its important to remember in most cases here in california you do not need to show identification but if you are voting for the first time after registering by mail it is probably a good idea to bring your identification just to doublecheck. Voting in contra costa starts at 11 00 this morning. There are 14 regional saerns throughout the county at various churches, hotels, businesses and community centers. A quick check at the Contra Costa County rejs tgistrars wee will give you times for voting there. Lastly, San Francisco county will continue their early voting at the civic center location. This polling site has been open for several weeks now and it continues to see visitors for some making a decision to vote early. A way to ensure their vote was cast and counted in a timely manner. But for others it was out of convenience. Take a listen to a few of the early voters i had a chance to speak with in the city and what they have to say about completing their civic duty. Typically i do vote absentee because i travel a lot. Given everything going on i wanted to make sure i got it in this year. I think its super easy to vote early. You can see its huge, i didnt have to wait at all first thing in the morning. Maybe that made it easier. Theres a ton of workers inside. Reporter and to give you an idea how many people have already voted here in the state of california, 8. 4 million voters and several thousands more coming out of this weeks voting event.

Someone under the age of 65 has been diagnosed now with covid19 and the flu. Health officials are putting out a warning to get that flu shot. Medical professionals believe thats the bay way to stay healthy in these really uncertain times. Symptoms can be confusing because its almost impossible for you or even a doctor to determine if you have covid19 or the flu. You have to get that test. Scary for jose who is worried about keeping his family healthy. Thats why its so important to go and get a covid test if you feel youve been exposed and to get your flu shot to make sure that you have some protection. Doctors say it takes two weeks to take effect. Thats why its important to get the shot early. More Healdsburg District Hospital workers have tested positive for covid19. The total number is now 14, up from 12 just yesterday.

A woman in the east bay who weve reported on several times took to the streets of oakland yesterday afternoon on horseback. Brianna noble and her horse led group of supporters to a ballot dropoff station. She says her goal is to inspire and encourage firsttime voters. Im not a person, im not a doctor, im a horse person. I believe in staying your own lane and doing the best can you to make the biggest difference you can. I feel its a privilege and a lot of people wont get a chance to experience anything like this. Alameda county registrar says almost 50 have already returned ballots, 470,000 people. That woman could be the pony express, bring it on back with the horses. You know whats coming on back as well, the playground. I told my kids and they are excited to get out and about. Wear your mask and bring your sanitizer.

A survey by the university of chicago found 35 of us spend the time we gain from having no commute on work. 15 of us spend that extra time doing things around the house and another 8 of americans use that extra time gained from having no commute to fitting in a second job.

It will be in the mid60s and cooling off quickly, so make sure youre dressed nice and warm. I want to show you places where maybe you can drive, take a little road trip this weekend and check out beautiful fall colors. Right now the peak fall colors are up to about 6,000, 7,000 feet.

President trump spoke about opening up the country to strengthen the economy. Joe biden spoke of bringing the country together. We choose hope over fear, unity over division, and we choose science over fiction. And, yes, we choose truth over lies. This explosive Economic Growth is four times greater than what the experts expected. They expected a number that would be like 7 , 8 . Yesterdays gdp numbers were 7. 4 for the quarter. The president is complaining the annualized rate with a quarterly rate was indeed the biggest in history. Trying to project an annualized rate at a time of pandemic gives you very strange numbers both positive and negative. Donald trump jr. Getting pushback after he went on a Fox News Program and said the coronavirus death rate has, quote, gone to almost nothing. 908 americans had died the day before. Why are they talking about deaths . Oh, oh, because the number is almost nothing, because weve gotten control of this. We understand how it works. They have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this. Look at my instagram, its gone to almost nothing. The death rate has been quite steady. 1,074 dead since yesterday. 1,132 the day before that. Tuesday was low, 485. Last weekend into monday, 2,145. So since this time last week 5,744 americans, the equivalent of 26 crashes of the boeing 737 max. The sooners ignored the rain and lined up to vote at the local baseball stadium. Early voting actually closes today in some states including georgia. 80 million americans have voted. Im scott mcgrew. Thanks good. Thanks so much. Were bringing in kris sanchez now. I hope an event with susan rice yesterday as part of the ywcas annual inspire luncheon. Here is what she had to say about young voters. They get a voice in a vote. If they dont exercise that, they get what they get. It may not be the world they inherit. You talked to a lot of young voters. Are they coming out this year . Reporter a lot of young voters are turning out and may be more engaged for the first time this year. While a lot of folks are talking about the president ial election, the young voters we talked with really moved to vote and affect change in their communities on the issue of climate change. One young voter even talking about the mayor in his city and how he looked up his record to see if it was consistent. Trump and biden not necessarily the only headline for them. At the same time i didnt worry about getting anything wrong because it was my opinion. I would see the biggest impact in my local community. Im seeing who is going to be able to get us through the next four years in the best way possible. Reporter according to the nextgen america, the youth voting initiative, young voters tend to vote later and tend to vote in person which will be a different experience this year because of the pandemic. We got some advice from young voters from more seasoned voters who urge them to get out and vote anyway. No matter how insignificant you feel, your voice does matter. Get involved, be active, vote early if possible. Tell your friends. Just do it. I dont care who you vote for. Reporter we skipped over some of the data. 13 of all california voters will be 18 to 25 on election day. Thats about the same we see here, the highest Voter Registration is in Santa Clara County. They all average about that 10 to 13 in the bay area. They have very passionate about it. Youve been bringing us the voices of the voter. Thats really bringing a lot of people out to vote. Reporter its bringing a lot of people out to vote and almost all of the voters we talked with over the last two weeks. I had help from bob and cierra in other parts of the bay area. They did mention the president ial election and were quick to note they felt their vote was most powerful at the local level. When talking about state propositions and local measures and our ballot, we know those things really affect our lives. Sometimes even more than who is in the white house. Scott mcgrew, same question for you. Nationally the president ial election weve seen it bringing out millions you recall. Kris sanchez, tip oneill had the same idea. All politics are local. It is going to affect you much more on a local level than on a national level. That said, yes, you are seeing huge turnout. In texas, for instance, there are more people that have early voted than voted at all in 2016 which is just amazing. And remember these states are not prepared for this level of early voting particularly in pennsylvania. They set up the rules for early voting before the pandemic and so theyre going to be overwhelmed in some cases. And as i said before it will take some time to get these results back so we all understand what in the world just happened on election day. There you have it. The pulse of the bay area and the nation right now as decision 2020 coming close to election day. Thanks, scott and kris. If you have any questions, we have resources on everything from what is on your ballot to how to make sure those ballots stay secure and counted. 6 49 on friday morning. I want to check weather and traffic together. Halloween, voting going on. A big weekend, kari. How is it looking . Absolutely. And we are going to be falling back with our clocks setting them back one hour. I always recommend walking to your local poll if youre able to and enjoy some sunshine. Get some air, really think about your decision. Temperatures starting out in the 40s. All of that sunshine we can soak up today. As we get out the door this morning it is chilly. I want to show you whats going on with napa. Now starting out at 36 degrees. It is very cool there and were seeing some fog in santa rosa where the visibility is down to half of a mile. Elsewhere its clear and temperatures in the 40s to 50s. A jacket needed to start but not so much this afternoon as we warm up. Its going to happen quickly through late morning into the afternoon reaching 76 degrees in palo alto and in san jose, up to 80 in concord and livermore and some low 80s for parts of the north bay but, of course, were watching that halloween forecast for the bay and inland areas. Very noise and warm during the middle of the day. If youre enjoying time outside with the family expect it to be in the upper 70s and along the coast some local 60s up and down the coast in San Francisco. As the sun sets youll be watching those halloween decorations around the neighborhood or going for a walk mostly in the mid60s so make sure you have a jacket with you. We are talking about the full moon thats happening this weekend for halloween. Not only is it the smallest moon of the year because of how far away it is, but its the second full moon of the month. Its on halloween and thats the first time thats happened since 2001. So a lot of sights to watch out for as well as the fall color that were seeing blooming across california. You can check out this map at californiafallcolor. Com and see where in the sierras the best place to go to see the most bright colors as we head into the peak part of fall season. We are also seeing around the lake tahoe area down to yosemite reaching that full peak. Its something that you might want to check out here very soon. Well get a look at the sevenday forecast coming up. Mike, how is it looking now for the commute . Kari, you had all those great graphics. The lower deck getting out of the city eastbound was slow.
