After a chaotic first debate, each candidate had his mic cut off for the first two minutes of each topic and there were far fewer interruptions throughout the entire evening. Here are some of the big take aways. Reporter the finalment chalcedony debate of 2020 started with the coronavirus. We are learning to live with it. People are learning to die with it. Reporter as the virus has killed more than 220,000 americans, former Vice President joe biden made the pandemic the central focus of his campaign against President Trump. Anyone is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of america. We closed up the greatest economy in the world in order to fight the horrible disease that came from china. Reporter candidates clashed over healthcare. What i am going to do is pass obamacare with a public option and become biden care. Id like to terminate obamacare and come up with a brand new beautiful healthcare. Reporter the moderator asked the two about racial inequality in america. The exception of abraham lincoln, nobody has done what i have done. Criminal justice reform. Obama and joe didnt do it.

The power of the mute button seems to be what it took to stage a reasonably civil debate. Our political analyst with more on the new format to tone down a scene of interruptions. Really helpful that there was the mute button. The moderator did a great job under any circumstances. But having that stick behind her ready for a party to use it during the debate seemed to keep things in line. Kpix5 is bringing the tools you need to vote smart. On air, on our news app, also streaming on cbsn bay area at kpix. Com. I am anne makovec. Uber and lyft are sweating it after a Court Decision yesterday. They could have to turn their drivers into full time employees by late january unless voters turn the tide here. The subject is prop 22 on the california ballot which would allow Ride Hailing Companies to keep drivers as independent contractors. Yesterday an Appeals Court ruled they are subject to ab5, californias gig worker law which would force them to make drivers employees and give benefits. That can mean fewer freedoms as well when it comes to schedules and hours. If prop 22 passes, that would mean the companies will likely argue that the law takes precedent over this Court Decision that just came in.

Those at home are going to come out. If theyre infected theyre going to pass the virus to our community. Its important that we all work collectively together and continue doing this work and not think it is over. In july our Positivity Rate among people who identified as latinos testing was 13 . That has gone down to 7 in september. In early october it is now down to 3 . The city increased testing and Contact Tracing but administrators at the Mission Food Hub say now is the time to increase it even more.
