Take a dave lets get to another big story that were following this tuesday morning. Tesla ceo elon musk has restarted his car production at the factory in fremont thats to find Alameda County shelter in place order. President trump is now also weighing in as well kron fours will tran has all of that at the f tesla headquarters at and freeman he has the latest for us, i will. Good morning marty they have a change of shift about an hour and a half ago President Trump. He is fully aware of whats going on is there have been a fan of california, lets face that and he took to twitter i want to quickly show you before we show you President Trumps 3 we will zoom in and show you the parking lot look at that it is full of workers because elan musk he is breaking the law this no technicality about it he knows. Hes breaking the law and even said he doesnt mind being arrested for ignoring the shelterinplace he does not have the blessing so far of Governor Newsome or Alameda Countys Public Health director, but he does have President Trumps blessing so now let me pull up that week for you this is what he tweeted about 6. 55 our time this morning President Trump says california should let tesla and ilan mosque open the plant now it can be done fast and safely let me show you video that we shot at around 5. 30 in the morning. You can see all those cars pulling in it was still dark at that time it appeared to be a change of shift and you can see all those cars pulling into the parking lot. People coming people going so obviously it did start today that it actually started yesterday when elan musk took to twitter and said that he is going to defy the shelterinplace orders and that he is going to have his workers come back and sure enough it look like they came back in full force now let me show you a poll exclusive poll by next our our company did and we did get a chance to ask californians what they thought about people returning to work a lot of people support shelterinplace others are nc to return so the majors hit on some of the points this is how do you feel about returning to your place of work. 25 says it does not unemployed. 27 says i will go to work under any circumstances and you muzzle at elan musk tonight, 27 and then 19 says i will not go to work and less face masks are worn. Now we will have that poll once again and our web site so you can go through it, theres so many to touch upon, but it has definitely caught the attention of Alameda County Public Health official elan musk is actually going after him say hes not listening to the governor. The governor said that people could return to work manufacturing plants. But he did leave it out to individual governments to decide in Alameda County, they said theyre not ready to list shelter in place. And so the end of the month, this is what the Health Director Health Department said. They say we have notified tesla that they can only maintain basic operations. And so we have an approved plan that can be implemented in accordance with the local Public Health order. That means that theyre not budging right now tesla the llamas actually even filed a lawsuit on saturday night in federal court demanding that they go back to work saying that shelter in place with us was unconstitutional. That did not cause Alameda County to buds and thats why elan musk is openly defying the law the Governor Newsom is not giving the blessing. He even said that in his world he would mind tesla going back to work. Next week but definitely not this morning. Ilan mosque for his part he says i dont mind getting arrested if you must go inside leave my workers alone.

Which has shaved about 5 million off the budget over in richmond, theyre lookg at a list of about 60 different ways to whittle down their projected deficit just possible that we could recover about 8 or million she by its too hard for years. You know something the city of el serino next door did is they put on a furlough were people are not going to work on fridays. You dont get paid for. So you know were looking at hard for asians were looking at furloughs looking at the mashing a lot of our programs and services.

These really similar to the governors plan for reopening the economy. But we thought we wanted to really put some hard numbers on them. And those numbers are based on a lot of expert as to what is really needed to be sure that where not going to have a surge in that we are prepared for any surges in cases that might happen. The city of berkeley says it will take some time to see the effect of allowing construction and outdoor businesses to resume. It is looking closely at the data and will make changes accordingly.

The cdc says airport screenings in california did little to prevent covid19 from spreading in the state. Now this is video from sso back in january when Health Officials screen passengers arriving from china. State officials checked up on more than 11,000 travelers who arrive from china and iran. They only found 3 infected people in that group. The cdc says the program was ineffective because traveler information was incomplete and asymptomatic infections may have been missed the report also notes passenger information was often entered incorrectly because it wasnt pulled directly from flight manifests the cdc recommends improving passenger Data Collection and transmission in the future. It also suggests using text messaging to reach at risk travelers quickly.
