Reporter san jose and santa clare county would be some of the last places in the bay area to enact a mandatory mask ball, and vice mayor chappy jones says its time. It prevents you from infecting someone else. Reporter and ordinance he proposes that would require people to cover their faces practically anytime they are in public or outdoors risk the possibility of getting a ticket will likely be passed by the city council june 2. Its been proven that face coverings will prevent or mitigate the spread of the covid19 virus. Reporter many people walking the streets are already voluntarily Wearing Masks in san jose but i think this is something we probably shouldve had in place weeks ago. Reporter during a City Council Discussion on how the ordinance would be enforced, please chief eddie garcia said his officers would not enforce it. From a Law Enforcement perspective, this is simply not our role. I do fear enforcement would impact our most vulnerable, the homeless and less affluent communities. Reporter that prompted the mayor to weigh in. I want to address the concerns raised by the chief. Reporter other agencies are enforcing mask rules. The Santa Clara County Sheriffs Office which provides Police Patrol for the city of cupertino says its enforcing the ordinance, there were incidents in which members of the public were cited. One person donning a mask before he went into a store said the situation in san jose is confusing. It does send the wrong message when youre Law Enforcement department is not backing up what the policymakers want, so it would be nice if they were all on the same page. Reporter we had hoped to get further clarification from the police chief today on his position, in fact he had called a News Conference for 11 am today to talk to reporters about it, but that News Conference was abruptly called off about an hour ahead of time, so we have not heard from the chief on this issue today.

On october 1, he was kidnapped from his home in Pleasure Point and driven to a remote property he owned in the santa cruz mountains. That they say is where he was shot to death.

We butted up against a lot of closed doors over the last seven or eight months and every time that happened, and investigators found somewhere else to go with this case. Ive been in this job for 32 years and i can tell you there is compelling evidence against these four people. Reporter investigators say none of the suspects has a significant criminal history but all four are now facing murder, kidnapping and robbery charges. Lets take a live look at ocean beach in San Francisco right now, its going to be a very warm Holiday Weekend and many people may be flocking to the beaches, the parks, trails, you name it, to get a little sunshine, but bay area officials are doing everything they can to prevent clustering of crowds during the pandemic. Easier said than done . Reporter absolutely. People are starting to get what we are calling shelter in place fatigue. You combine that with the Holiday Weekend and its a recipe for people wanting to get outside and enjoy the sunshine despite the orders. Call them hipster crop circles or twister for giants, but white rings have suddenly appeared at parks ranging from Mission Dolores to washington square, all spaced six feet apart. I think its kind of good to divide things because people are not quite sure what six meters yet.

Across the bay at lime ridge in contra costa county, hikers were getting their steps in before the crowds descends, but say trail etiquette mid pandemic has been very good.

In a couple of our large regional parks are close where we dont think we would be able to discourage social gatherings. Bayside mcnear speech and others will also remain closed. With the Children Place order still in effect we are trying to encourage as many people as they can to stay home. Reporter with crowds expected to follow the sunshine this memorial day weekend we take a closer look at what parks have plan to keep people safe. Now expect state parks to partially reopen, a lot of those State Park Beach parking lots will reopen but with 50 percent capacity to make sure the beaches and sand dont get too overcrowded with people. Just last week we were talking about fears that the shelter in place might mean the end for some of San Franciscos most legendary bars and the one behind me is certainly one of them. Bad news here at the start, what the future might hold for the owners here and whats being done to save bars like this one. Plus all of these mask rules, masking facial expressions in the process, how that has changed social interactions in a way that nobody expected. First toilet paper, now bikes, the latest shortage during the time of covid19. This virus is testing all of us. And its testing the people on the front lines of this fight most of all. So abbott is getting new tests into their hands, delivering the critical results they need. And until this fight is over, we. Will. Never. Quit. Because they never quit. That could mean an increase byin energy bills. You can save by using a fan to cool off. Unplugging and turning off devices when not in use. Or closing your shades during the day. Stay well and keep it golden. Transact San Franciscos oldestbar is closing at store. The latest area institution to meet his fate as a result of the pandemic. Reporter weve been hearing from bar owners who still have no clear path reopening, weve been hearing from them about high fixed costs, they have no income and small Profit Margins to begin with, this is a dire situation and it has cost San Francisco a piece of history right here. The barware Community Found each other, the stud opened in 1966, the past 33 years of that run here at ninth and folsom, it was the citys longest standing lgbt metlife venue. Its a deep loss for us. Weve been in this building since 1987 and it survived the aids epidemic and now its the covid pandemic forcing us to close. Reporter the challenges shared in bars across the city, mounting costs and no income. At this point, due to covid 19, we just could not continue to accrue debt. Covid19 is currently attacking not just the Public Health of our city but our culture and our identity. Reporter that threat of course spreads beyond the city, over in oakland its the stork club, a dive bar and Live Music Venue that claims a 102 year history, it will not reopen. This pandemic will and that we need to make sure that going back to the normal doesnt mean we permanently lose so much of what made a strong and vibrant, we are working on various pieces of legislation here in sacramento to try to help these hospitality businesses have more leverage to renegotiate with their landlords to lower the commercial rent. Reporter that help had better come fast for the stud, the shutdown meant no income while paying 444 in rent every single day. Unfortunately this is the end of an era and we will no longer be on the corner of ninth and harrison. The stud is owned by a collective of 17 owners, what are they going to do next . They want to move and find a new location, they think that will cost them at least half 1 million so the fundraising toward that large endeavor starts now and as for this location, they are going to give it a proper sendoff, and online drag funeral that is scheduled for may 31. This pandemic has also shifted howe interact with one another, no more handshakes or hugs and now with masks in our longterm future, there also goes the smile. According to the chronicle, emotion researchers are looking into the cultural cost, particularly at a time when isolation and disconnection are at an already high. With the smile being shielded by a mass, people are reporting having a hard time expressing themselves. They also found people are smiling less frequently in the absence of social feedback. Experts suggest redesigning the mask with transparent material or developing new gestures that could come close to the smile. Bicycle shops across the country are seeing a spike in demand, so much so that there is actually now a shortage in the supply of bicycles. U. S. Sales of bikes, equipment, and repair services nearly doubled in march compared with the same period last year.

By traffic has increased in the area east of San Franciscos panhandle and now a new protected bike lane is coming to a very busy stretch of fell street, the mta is calling it a temporary project. A lot of people out on bikes, a lot of people at the beach. I think its one of those things where people are feeling cooped up and naturally, they been in their homes for months, go outside, but be smart about it, thats the role.
