At the sapd center. But no fans will be in attendance, however the nhls also announcing the leak is evaluating all options and expects to have another update today, so well see if their decision to if they decide that season on hold like the nba did the sharks asleep to be back in the bay area next thursday. The Golden State Warriors you will not see them for the rest of the season because the nba as james mentioned, just we made usaa insurance for members like martin. An air force veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right. Usaa insurance is made just the way martins family needs it with hasslefree claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. Because doing right by our members, thats whats right. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. Usaa sensitivity its very common to have a gum Health Concern as well. But if you have sensitive teeth, you probably arent going to brush your teeth as effectivity because it causes pain. And if you see blood you should do something about it. You know, i talk to dentists every day and theyre able to recommend one product, new sensodyne sensitivity gum, to address both conditions at the same time. If we only treat one versus the other, the patients mouth is never going to be where it needs to be. Its really good dentistry to be able to recommend one product for patients that can address two conditions. And we are back waiting for the opening bell to sound to commence the days trading session. Futures trading though has plummeted in fact dow futures are off by more than a 1000 points. After the president s address to the nation last night failed to quell concerns of the possible economic slowdown from the coronavirus and so as a result of the the markets dropping by more than 5 during premarket trading. A basically a hold was put in place to try to prevent it from sliding any further a limit down as its called and now all eyes will be on the town, especially the s p 500 if the s and p 500 drops by more than 7 then Circuit Breakers will kick in to freeze trading for 15 minutes. We saw this play out earlier this week. And we could very well see that play out again as it looks like indicators are pointing for a steep drop in the markets today. Again all of this related to the coronavirus the Economic Impact and the president s address to the nation last night which apparently at least to the eyes of wall street did not seem to do the job in quelling concerns over what kind of Economic Impact we could see this the deal the us economy again watching the numbers will let you know if the Circuit Breakers kicked well this be a season means no more warriors games at the chase center until further fours will tran is live in San Francisco with reaction from the warriors this morning i will. The warriors are on board area they have no problems with that they know the coronavirus in fact they were set to play tonight in front of family and friends, but no fans now that game has been cancel not just for the wires but across the nba, so take a look at your screen the warriors like the rest of the world in the Sports Community reacting they have no problems with it they said we completely support the nbas decision to suspend our season until further notice the health and safety of our fans staff and players has always been and always will be our top priority. Now the warriors a couple of days ago said that they were ok playing in front of just family and friends and just essential employees when they take to the court tonight, this was after a couple of days before that when steph curry returned to a packed audience after his broken hand so things are moving swiftly for the warriors and the nba. So swiftly that they didnt even have a time too consult with the owners and i have proof because take a look at your screen pay close attention to Dallas Mavericks owner. Mark cuban he was at a game last night they bother calling him he found out like many people he was on his phone, he looked at it he saw that the nba decided to suspend their season. Hes in disbelief, but he like the warriors are on board on this he said it seems just like a movie but if it safety and thats the top birdie hes okay with that Sacramento Kings they immediately cancel their games as well because the player rudi go bare with the utah jazz but he tested positive, but a couple of days before that there was a raft to officiate in one of his games and that raft was in sacramento, so he could have contaminated other people as well so they went ahead and canceled the Sacramento Kings game. So whats going to happen moving forward james and darya there are rumors that the nba could resume the games pretty quickly but they will play the games in front of only family and friends know fans in attendance, then theres also the possibility because of scheduling that they will take this time to think about whats going to happen. No timetable on when they will make a decision. There is the possibility that they could head right to the playoffs and teams in contention might just start the playoffs when and if the nba season continues and that means the warriors were already out of playoff contention that we wont see them for the rest of the season back to you. Okay thank you well. And then there was the big travel ban announced last night by President Trump announcing that date is not okay for europeans to come into this country this after the World Health Organization declared. This outbreak is a global panned out yet for more on. The travel ban and what this means for us citizens with kron 4 Sarah Stinson say by at sfo sarah. And President Trumps announcement bans travel from the 26 countries in europe to the us and this applies to people who are from those countries not to american so if an american is over there and needs to get home they very well can and it was kind of confusing during the dress how this would all be dealt with but afterwards a Vice President mike pence made it clear that people can come home, they would just have to go through a screening and that they be funneled through over a dozen airports would be able to funnel these americans through and then they would just ask those americans to self quarantine for 14 days, the president made this in a primetime address his administration clarified the restrictions again are just foreign nationals, this is very similar to the ban he already put on travel from china, Vice President mike pence again made that very clear how this will work, but theyre still a little bit more to learn with Homeland Security President Trump said that europe is not doing enough to combat coronavirus so hes banning travel from these countries excluding the United Kingdom and ireland according to Health Officials in europe more than 17,000 cases have been confirmed there and more than 700 people have died on the continent. Trump also clarified later that day he is not blocking goods from europe. But just people from europe. Now we went inside of the International Terminal youre at sfo and theres several counters that are just empty we did catch up with paper region newlywed couple they flew and has a poll yesterday at 2 oclock just got married less than 24 hours later they hear this dress from trump and its scaring them so much that they want to fly home today theyre also concerned that france will undergo a lockdown as well such as italy did so they want to head right back home will hear from them coming up in the next half hour very interesting story, a feel for them because they wanted to see San Francisco from paris they feel that they need to get home to their business in case developments occur with the coronavirus for now a live at San Francisco International Airport will send it back to you.

This means a lot more 70s on the map redwood city and san carlos at 73 mid 70s across the south bay and for many spots in the east bay too a few areas like Berkeley Oakland and richmond which were in the 60s yesterday, well see daytime highs in the low 70s today with fairfield at a warm 80 degrees and some 60s out towards the coast in marin county. Tomorrow temperatures very similar to today, youre too nice a stays before a big cool down for much of the rest of the forecast. Most notably those cold rain showers saturday night into sunday while monday keeping with the showers to start your next week. Robin all right, thank you john lets check in on the traffic now quick peek at 92 your trip across the 70 oh bridge. Looks good. This is considered good because theres minor crowding on the flat section were looking at 16 minutes to make it over to the for those of you traveling into San Francisco, heres a live look at the maze normally by now we have a big backup that spills all the way through the maze but it really just hasnt happened all week so the trip into San Francisco will be pretty good you want to hit that slow down into your reach west grand so west grand right through the pay gates is where the heavier traffic is and then the suspension the skyway they all look at even the central one on one to 80 doing fine in San Francisco. So we dont have any hot spots are major alerts, not a lot of folks on the road today, one oh one is only 7 minutes from brisbane to 80 to 80 is wide open from daly city to downtown San Francisco and they were picking on highway 4 normally its much busier by now, but its only 25 minutes antioch to concord even coming from the south bay, sometimes its an hour to get from san jose to menlo park or longer right now only 35 minutes james back to much robin.

The Oakland Alameda Coliseum Authority has canceled all events at the coliseum and the arena. And the despite the disappointment over all the canceled shows fans say its probably for the best they understand. Whatever the professionals that experts think is best for stopping the spread of this virus, im on board with whatever that is south and that means shutting down every single concert event im okay with that id rather just not having get spread and ready to contain its worst. A couple days of staying in or weeks maybe but i think its worse not getting sick. For now this ban has until march 31th.

Lawmakers on capitol hill are pushing the legislation forward to give americans more paid 6 nays. The legislation requires all employers to allow workers 7 days of paid sick leave and an additional 14 days in the event of a Public Health emergency like the Coronavirus Crisis. Not one employee who was sacked, to feel like i dont have paid sick leave, i guess a better come to work and then everybody else. Gets up we dont know how long it will actually last. But we have to get resources out into the communities people lose that job or miss that rent payment. One of the duration of the financial dress will be much much longer. The extra sick days could also be used if an employer temporarily closes. If the Childs School closes or family members corn team during this Public Health emergency.
