But all businesses will have to follow a certain set of guidelines including social distancing. And no more than 10 people inside a business at a time like employees, especially if its a smaller business that number could go down as well. It will be a very interesting to see how some of these local businesses adjust to these new guidelines, im sure theyre excited to halfway get back in business but also theyre going to have to debate is it really worth it for me to reopen for Curbside Pickup or my just going to wait it out until we can fully reopen hopefully we can talk to some businesses people out here this morning.

Why he is worried this pandemic will get worse in the winter saying that he says he sounded the alarm about this and was ignored and then demoted hes also going to share his belief that the Trump Administration was unprepared. For the pandemic his testimony comes a week after he filed a whistleblower complaint saying he was removed from his post in retaliation because he did not promote a drug that President Trump claimed was a good treatment that was the drug chloroquine President Trump is publicly disagreeing with a member of his own task force doctor Anthony Fauci fauci warned senators that opening states to quickly could have dire consequences, he said without a covid19 vaccine in place in the fall, starting school could put lives at risk fauci advise schools to exercise caution in reopening in making their decisions saying that some may be should an op open at all yesterday, trump declared schools should reopen and he denounced fau shes warning.

More than 770,000 students attending californias 2 Main University systems are not likely to return to campus this fall. On tuesday we found out that the Cal State University system plans to cancel nearly all in person classes and now the university of california is following suit. Yesterday a spokesperson for the u c system says its likely that none of its 10 campuses will fully reopen for the fall semester. And with the majority of classes transition into Online Students and staff will have to adjust to course kron fours Ella Sogomonian spoke with the president s of both san jose and San Francisco State Universitys about the changes. Cal State University students will have to learn to create an Online Community to substitute the Traditional College experience thats because the Coronavirus Crisis is forcing the School System to host most Classes Online to prevent people from getting badly sick. Despite that some students will still be invited on to campus for courses that require hands on learning. But not everyone can participate in that face to face experience even for the courses for example are face to face there will be students who cannot get to campus. I have because theyre an at risk group or because they live so far away and they cant get here so well accommodate every student you cant make a face to face cost. I will also accommodate a faculty member again because of not risk category that he chased us accommodating physical distancing also means downsizing on campus housing. Which means another major decision will be who can stay at the dorms and what were doing right now is putting together what the priorities might look like. We havent made any decisions about that, but certainly somebody who is in a major where they have to be here for small classes and they out of the where they cant commute were obviously going to be very interested in seeing how we can support some of those students for other students who might live in the and all are in classes where they can take them. Then they probably wouldnt be a high priority but that those are the kinds of questions well be asking looking at some of the numbers and really r r cleaning protocols. Our ability to control safety of students people may be wondering of tuition will change but the s of state president explains. Well its hard to put a price on the traditional classroom experience setting up the virtual experiences, a big Financial Investment moving instruction virtually doesnt save any money it actually cost more than it cost more because we have to invest weekly in the things people need to do well. So this past semester we spent several 100,000 on laptops and hotspots like ice for our students our faculty and staff knew that for long. Now looking at specialized equipment that our students for example need to study her children while the san jose state president believes theres a Silver Lining setting students up for a new working environment thats been sped up by the pandemic. Good news for them about that is when they actually moved into the workforce, they will be moving into an employment market that is very different from what it was. Today twitter announced that its employees of the future will be able to decide whether they work from home in a virtual environment or come due on an actual twitter campus. Sports is a different story given that it requires contact. So thats canceled across the board this fall semester. Coaches will just have to get creative in train them from a distance to make sure that they remain in shape once game day finally comes. In the newsroom Ella Sogomonian kron 4 news.

How much rain can we see by the time we work our way into monday some pretty impressive totals possible here, especially for the north bay where we could beard inch of rainfall in some spots most areas like the peninsula in the east bay will see anywhere from a quarter of an inch how finance or just above that with lighter amounts further south towards mount due to around a quarter of an inch of rainfall possible and not a definitely a drought buster but something that is needed will take it for sure 60s and 70s for todays daytime highs cool enough to keep the jacket on by the coast. You could get away without at times towards our inland areas when we will have sunshine reappearing later today. Tomorrow and saturday are nicest days to venture out or little bit definitely keep inside as much as you can high temperatures fall back into the 60s for inland areas with most widespread rainfall expected on sunday.
