And thats what we do issue relationship to the president we have a very productive working relationship with each other and also a with the president Vice President at one point fell. She did clash with senator rand paul one of the president s allies who recovered from coronavirus earlier this year as much as i respect to doctor fauci. I dont think youre the end hall. I dont think youre the one person against to make a decision of a scientist a physician, a Public Health official. I give advice, according to the best Scientific Evidence at the white house of President Trump remain behind closed doors after one of his top aides tested positive. Vice president mike pence who showed up to work in a mask will now distance himself from the president for the next few days and the Vice President has made that choice and to keep his distance for a few days.

Teslas getting the green light to resume operations as long as it follow safety precautions that are agreed upon with the Alameda County Health Department kron fours taylor, a sacking has the latest. Production at teslas plant in fremont continued tuesday after the Alameda County Health Department ordered the car giant to shut down its operations President Trump got involved on tuesday tweeting quote california should let tesla and elon musk open the plant now it can be done fast and safely soon after Tesla Ceo Elon musk responded thanking the president i guess it was from doctor fauci i would probably Pay Attention a little bit more than. Somebody told us a drink disinfectant Alameda County supervisor Scott Haggerty who helped bring tesla to fremont reacted to the tweet on tuesday hes been in conversations with the county the last few weeks to get tesla reopened will also following the Health Departments orders i think if you get beyond the rhetoric that were actually doing the work. Its happening. He says the original plan was to get the facility reopens next week tesla hoping for that date was certainly an unfortunate. Im doctor bond has been transparent that. May 18th was the date she would like to see major employer open up again since march 23rd, the county deemed the fremont plant non essential. And while tesla continues to defy local orders haggerty believes teslas plans submitted late monday night will be approved soon can speak specifically to the site plan that was turned in late last night what i can say is that the dialogue that i was involved there. Going very well. Some early plans and id seen they looked really good others are also hopeful, i do think that tesla doesnt have the means and the to run a plant safely. I think they can do that but this plan does have to be verified by the Alameda County health professionals, however Freeman City Council member the bacon or just has led to be patient with the process hoping that process is running but clearly like i say we have to have it verified by the Alameda County health care professionals. That was taylor sackey reporting for us this morning. Weve received a statement from the Alameda County Health Department regarding tesla safety plan and it reads part. Quote if tell slows prevention and control plan includes these updates and the Public Health indicators remain stable or improved.

So the new move has Business Leaders and city officials voicing their concerns over what that could mean for the local economy. There was a significant amount of money given to these businesses to locate in this. In this location. We gave a lot of flexibility in terms of allowing them to have internal cafeterias and tax break on their payroll. And then them to them ultimately to decide it that they would then go uh telecommute. Now without waiting for there to be a final decision on how the economy will evolve. I think is is the wrong direction to go in. Well according to a twitter block employees want to return to the Business Office and of those who do if i did warm and welcoming with some additional precautions experts believe it wont be long before other Big Name Companies follow suit. San mateo county has modified its shelterinplace order to allow for what theyre calling vehicle base gatherings kron 4 spring kelly reports on how graduation ceremonies are driving this change.

And when are people need to make sure they have their Face Covering on. The chief deputy county counsel says they wanted to give students a way to celebrate their achievement and give them a sense of closure for whats been a challenging year while this order was written with graduation ceremonies in mind its not limited to them.

Sports leagues and the College Ranks are weighing their in their opinions when it comes to starting back up kron fours kate rooney takes a look at the financial toll a year without sports might take. On tuesday Major League Baseball met with the Players Union to discuss revenue sharing a crucial step in the leagues plan to start the season in july. But what exactly is the Financial Impact of a shortened or canceled season for leagues that bring in billions in revenue it really varies a lot from leagues elite i do think advertising will be down a little bit you have a lot of big. Legacy sort of sponsors when youre talking about pro sports that the league level and the team water level and i think sponsors who have been with you for a really long time are going to stick with you but advertising isnt the only Revenue Source Major League Baseball has said 40 of its profits are from gameday revenue like tickets and concessions in college football. That number is closer to 75 or 80 . But even without fans the financial incentive to play looms large at least if you can resume you can get tv money and not seem still a huge source of revenue in pro sports and in college sports. So i think thats why is one reason why you see the big push to come back even if we cant have stands there if games do resume without fans, it is just the leagues and teams that will be missing out on revenue stadium employees radio stations and many more are already feeling the financial loss seeing layoffs across sports radio. And you have that trickle down effect you know with people who work in hotels and were used to big events coming to town youve got you know the valley who relies on tips for big events like that youve got the small restaurants that are around the stadium that rely on people coming out to games whether or not sports are able to resume in 2020 and whether or not they do so without fans the economic toll will be significant and widespread for kron 4 sports.
