The one exception we have to what will be a very pleasant day is the steady wind that were going to be holding on to for yet another day now compared to yesterday, it is lighter as this cold front that brought us that strong breeze yesterday gradually continues to clear out of the region. Just leaving us with some nice comfortable temperatures today and the most comfortable one of the forecast ahead after today we are getting hot inland.

Its very much for showing us the same scene since early this morning with traffic moving at the limit in both directions. In the buzz we havent seen baseball stopped in its tracks since the 1989 earthquake or the 94 strike, but it appears the entire covid season could be lost and theyll be pitched another return to play deal. But the players refused to swing at anything that involves a pay cut. The commish says if the players are done talking the entire season could be down. Its just as disaster for our absolutely no question about it. It shouldnt be and its important that we find a way to get past it and get the game back on the field for the benefit of our fans. Its hard for the fans to sympathize with players who dont want to take a pay cut for a shorter season when so many people have lost their jobs completely or worse yet. Lost a loved one to covid the nba is also having trouble getting players to buy into their plan some players dont want to take part in the bubble playoffs over Health Concerns and isolation. Others think their energy would be better spent focusing on the black lives Matter Movement, then playing basketball. But the women are ago the wnba players just agreed to a 22 game regular season, starting in late july all the games, including the playoffs will be in florida and with florida texas and more than a dozen other states seeing a rise in coronavirus some athletes are bound to get it theyre not immune.

James i would just write covid right into the plot have everybody where best all the time. When you think i want to sing i suspect is going to be plenty of across the room. Eyebrow acting yeah, ive and shocked and appalled what about you suspect a lot of like mask plots like let just write it into the movie the show you know me and they probably want these things to be timeless so you can watch them on rerun any time right now. Now thats the producer talking to the actors will want it. I dont want the mass knows if i like the kissing sandra mashing up man and im happy adonis uh huh thats the bus. Were back at 8. 23 military families make a lot of sacrifices for their loved ones in uniform that lawmakers on capitol hill want to help those families cope with mental and emotionalto that come from that we have our washington correspondent basal johnson with the story. Virginia senator tim kaine says the country must do everything it can to support military mo, the burdens of of serving in dangerous places, the burns of moving here and there and uprooting family to help them came introduced a bill to fund a study examining the postpartum mental help needs for Service Members or their spouses the Mental Health issues are just issues i hear about repeatedly as i talked to military spouses military moms military families cain says the bill can help remove barriers to better Mental Health care. If people feel stigma about saying they need Mental Health services, then we underreported minutely and report in the middle train enough people to deal real need organizations like the National Partnership for women and families see this piece of legislation can save lives life in the military. Is distinct and and stressors to the many stressors that people in the general population experienced director childbirth connections, carol socolow. So she has new mothers plagued with these challenges postpartum depression. Has it huge impact on the family on the development of the child et cetera so this is an opportunity to be prevented and to give military families the support they need. Cain says this bill will help the department of defense assess the status of Mental Health for military moms. Now in the future. Reporting in washington, im beall job. And victory for critics of pg and e as the Company Plans to plead guilty to Involuntary Manslaughter today and admit that they start a 28 were looking at the weather i meant to say jim harbaugh by said john innes should bugged with a mask and a signing in the navy now never mind. There is one john stick to the fact that will be that we love very much and well always. Mention during the show ran it was john tribal bob bob, job instead of the raccoon that you ran into i guess at a the sunshine doesnt wake u up as you open up the curtains beautiful bright Crystal Clear day and timber on. Beautiful day to step outside just know it is still breezy and these winds are going to be consistent through the afternoon ahead of us right now its windy step the coast. But later on today, those winds are gradually going to spread further inland stew. That will have an impact on your drive home from work, especially skies, nice and clear going to stay that way not just today but through the rest of your forecast. Something thats not going to stay the same or Cool Temperatures were off to a nice cool start to the morning and this were going to be looking at daytime highs just a touch below average step outside enjoy the 70s and 80s that we have for your daytime highs because theyre going to be replaced by some 90s ahead of us especially for inland areas talking more about what to expect in the rest of your forecast still to come daryn james, thanks a 29 and today pg and e is set to plead guilty for the devastating camp fire that killed scores of people in butte county. And the town of paradise 2 years ago kron fours will tran standing by pga headquarters to explain. What this plea deal entails will. It entails that they plead guilty to 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter. This is their headquarters but they will plead guilty in butte county where the fires took place, 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter and one that fire and by the time its over james and area they will pay for a Million Dollars worth of fines. This is a big deal because critics say for a long time the Company Never admits to anything they have their lawyers fighting everything tooth and nail but in this particular case is actually was worked out a couple of months ago, so this morning about 2 hours from now we will be a formality. According to investigators back in 2018 it was an old piece of equipment by pg and e about a 100 years old fell down because all that dry brush to go up in flames and just ripped through that area devastated paradise where aaron rodgers, the famous quarterback for the Green Bay Packers thats where hes approximately from it made National News and this was almost consecutive years for pg any fires. This is one issue that pg e has to handle of course what you need to know is no executive well go to jail is just an indictment against the company. The company has other problems that they have to deal with including 13 and a half billion dollars with a liability against them and thats why critics say last year pg any try to scramble. They caught a lot of heat for this because theyre so massive yet they still filed for bankruptcy trying to avoid paying for all those liabilities pg and e is trying to come out of bankruptcy and they dont have a lot of time to do that because they have to qualify for state protection should they cause another fire in the fute that they will be protected by the state so this is a crack in the wall as far as critics are concerned that the fact that they are going to be guilty to 84 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter. Back to you. All right, thanks a lot. Well. Governor newsome says that cases of coronavirus are going up in california yes, but he says thats largely due to the fact the testing has been going up. He knows the percentage of those tests are coming back positive those actually going down. Testings increased. You see total number of positives increases the consequence but the percentage the positivity rate. Has declined sharply and has remained stable over the course of the last month and a half plus and certainly reflected that 4. 5 in the last 14 days. The governor went on to say that one reason california isnt seeing a g drop in covid19 cases for the simple fact that we never really saw a huge surge early on like many east coast states did. Well heres the latest look at the numbers of coronavirus cases in the bay area were topping more than 17,000 now with 498 deaths statewide 155,000 plus confirmed cases with more than 5,000 deaths and across the u. S. Where now north of 2 million cases of coronavirus with more than a 116,000 deaths. The American Red Cross by the way now testing all blood and platelet and plasma donations for covid19 antibodies. The test could indicate if the donors immune system has previously produced antibodies to the coronavirus because of a past infection. Blood donors will be able to find out the results of their tests through the red cross app. Its a 33 and in the south bay has been more than a week since the shelterinplace orders for election Santa Clara County. Kron fours rob fladeboe takes a look at how its going. With an uptick of new cases of covid19 in recent days, Santa Clara County attributes part of that increase to more testing in highrisk populations. But the jury is still out on whether the relaxing of the shelter order a week and a half ago might also be a factor says spokesman labeled campaigns, we have to wait and see what happens in the next week d a half. To have a better understanding of whether or not what we open really didnt lead to problematic increase or not. As of sunday Santa Clara County reported 40 cases bringing to 3,197 the total number of cases, one new death was reported bringing that total to 151. The county is averaging a 3s per day up from about 20 per day prior to that retoptimistic the number of new cases over the last 14 days is less 25 per which means the county is passing one of the governors performance metrics that will help guide future decisions about opening further. The question for us is you know what is the trend for the remaining, you know the week and a half. Opened up a lot the county a week and a half ago. And no we indicated at that point is that we would wait at 3 week incubation period to see where the numbers go. Right now the increase is happening, but its actually a pretty modest increase nothing really surprising. Given the level of testing. And given the openness that that that has already been put in place the er key indicator in virus is hospitalizations. Currently there are 54 patients that have been admitted to hospitals in Santa Clara County. 15 of those are in an intensive care unit. An indication that trend continues for at least another day the county reported another 33 sw cases today, but no new deaths in san jose rob fladeboe kron 4 news. 8. 35 in the fbi and the department of justice are investigating the hanging deaths of 2 black men in Southern California Robert Fuller that Malcolm Harsch.
