If that means anything anywhere every day saturday. But where there are things that are often on limit says were navigating through coronavirus covers will tran is here to answer whats open high will. In morning daria there are things you can do and things you cant do 2019 memorial day weekend everything was on the table but what a difference a year makes im at Rockaway Beach in pacifica the parking lot. Well you can clearly see it is empty and they want to keep it empty, lets get to the things you can and cannot do so take a look at your screen we built some graphics for you well let you know that you can still go to the beaches if thats what you want to do, but theyre not allow you. The park in the parking lot so that means you to ride your bike you walk you run to the beaches and in marine county, you can even go to the beaches and parks because they shut that down but in san mateo county. That is still possibly an option a lot of people they had to the parks right you can do that so long as the park that you want to visit is within 10 miles of your home you can still go fishing.

And when you do go with your friends make sure that you practice social distance wear a mask and then stay 6 feet apart from each other theres something really interesting. You are being discouraged to have backyard barbecues reason being its not a legal right, but you can do that, but theyre discouraging it because backyard barbecues tend to have a lot of people you grab the same plate you share food. Kind of hard to eat obviously with a mask on so its just being discouraged from doing that if you possibly can as far as some of the other locations were in county. It wont be able to go to the parks as well and weve talked about it for a long time the parking lots have also been shut down in marine county, so theyre making it very difficult for people to go to those locations as were still dealing with the pandemic and in San Francisco dolores park a lot of people have just flock to that area, they know its a hot spot and they know people will show up and thats why they went out there over the past several days or so and actually painted circles on the lawn just to tell people this is how far apart you need to stay from each other. But its not all doom and gloom. Doctor Anthony Fauci says you go out there enjoy memorial day weekend to try to do it smartly. Go out wear a mask. Stay 6 feet away from anyone to see you have the physical distancing and go out go for a run go for a walk go fishing as long as youre not in a crowd.

The thing about Amy Klobuchar is shes from that swing state michigan on site minnesota they need to win minnesota. They can have that go over to trump and there has been in roads and so they need to secure that and of course hes from the midwest. She plays well in the midwest with their fists hope her folksy nature and the fact that shes the of a moderate democrat that is under consideration for that was in the race. And then theres one thing else which is super important which is certainly you pick a Vice President ial nominee you dont want them to cause you trouble well, you dont want them to be a gaffe machine you dont want something in their past Thomas Eagleton is the big example guy you can google that find out the bizarre thing in his past that cost him. Being on the ticket. You want someone whos been vetted at least to a certain degree and someone whos proven to do well. In front of the camera thats why any college her remains the safest bet for joe biden. A macabre sure is a safe and a smart choice given the fact that if biden wins minnesota, wisconsin and michigan, hes pretty much guaranteed to win the presidency. But theres a lot of support for an African American female, especially given their importance and resurrecting joe bidens campaign and their importance in the turnout. So Stacey Abrams and certainly kamel harris. Susan rice val demings who says shes been vetted you can count them out.
