As well as portions of sonoma and marin counties this morning as we work our way through the morning visibility shouldnt be too much of an issue for most areas as fog will be sitting right above most of the bay itself at the coast though is where youre likely to see some visibility impact so well as areas along highway, one o one up in the north bay by the time we work towards 10 to 11 00am this morning as were going to really start to see a lot of clearing alongside the bay and inland with fog remaining pretty steady out along the coast and streaming back through the golden gate into the early afternoon. So not a whole large window of sunshine for coastal areas like we did see over the weekend with a lot of sunshine all the way out to the coast. Now skies today well eventually clear out as they promise to you and that is eventually going to help temperatures to rise back into the 70s right alongside the bay after these 50s 60s this morning with even warmer temperatures for inland areas. Daytime highs inland today will rise well into the 80s if not the 90s making for a toasty one for those inland valleys, staying cool and a little foggy or out towards the coast with highs remaining in the 60s. Back to you james all right, thank you very much john to our top story this morning, the fall semester for oakland schools will begin online today with thousands of students reporting to class. Virtually the district spent the week distributing computers and wifi hot spots to students. There are frustrations with Distance Learning plans as some parents reported last week that their students didnt get the laptops they needed. Attendance is mandatory for students in all of their classes. The beginning of year so important for teachers to ponder suits us and other stunts to get to know their backgrounds and the things they do it outside of school. And they cant do that now because we are all. This is their students. I know this is a really different than what youre used to when you were hoping for and. Were going to get there were going to make your work. Were going to figure out how to make the best of this situation how to make someones a lemonade. Well the district and the Teachers Union still havent reached an agreement on exactly how much Remote Learning will be conducted live for says prerecorded so theyre still working that out. Meanwhile starting today the Oakland High School district will be providing free lunch to register students only the district had been giving away lunches to all City Residents for the past 5 months but that changes to only registered students today. And changes because of a change in rules. The federal government. We really would love to be able to feed all young people in oakland because thats what weve been doing asked 5 months and we know that theres so much need the city so thats what we want to do and continue to do. But right now we cant do that. And city Officials Say a long list of cityrun Food Distribution sites and nonprofit organizations are available to provide food to anyone in need. Also in the east bay teachers at John Swett Elementary School in martinez are working on their lesson plans and getting supplies ready schools, there will begin Virtual Learning on wednesday take a listen my team is unbelievable we have been here every single day masks on desks on the hallway collaborating. Creating dividing jobs in half so that we are not doing all of this alone its a team thing i have 3 other second graders so we each have a job and we just we would get out and and fortunately we have each other i dont i dont know what i would do that 19. And teachers in martinez can choose either to teach online from their classroom or from their home. Again the first day of school is wednesday august 12th. The Georgia High School that got National Attention for appearing not to follow cdc guidelines now has at least 9 cases of covid19 the districts telling parents that they will move to Online Learning for at least the next 2 days. The School Principal says 6 students and 3 Staff Members have tested positive and more tests are pending. It was earlier this month, a sophomore posted a photo online. A hallway that was crowded packed with students not wearing masks. Exposure is like very high in the hallways because were all smushed together. I feel like a lot of teachers have my back because they know how dangerous it is going to school but i know that a lot of the kids go to School Without already gotten backlash for ive gotten threats and things like that, but i know that im doing the right thing in 9 and is not going to stop me from continuing doing it, but it is concerning. And the student was suspended initially after she posted that picture of a crowded hallway. But that suspension has since been reversed. Another big story today doctor sonia angell the director of the California Department of Public Health is stepping down. According to multiple reports she resigned last night. She held the position for less than a year and her abrupt departure comes days after a Computer System problem caused the state to undercount coronavirus cases. Heres a closer look at the number of cases by the way that were seeing across the state and across the bay area will begin with the statewide numbers, 559,000 more them. Those are the cases that were seeing right now and for the first time california now tops 10,000 deaths across the bay area 59,000 cases with 888 deaths reported so far. And across the country there are now more than 5 million covid19 cases in nearly a 163,000 deaths in some scientists are saying the number of deaths in the u. S. Could reach 300,000 by the end of the year. If Victor Blackwell with more. If doctors and Health Care Experts are correct the wave of covid19 infections is not even close to over we failed early on to adopt the testing it was necessary. And even more so we feel the ramp that up to a degree that were going to need in the coming season, one Important University model predicts that the number of americans who will have died from covid could reach. 300,000 by december 1st. A Public Health professionals are pleading with people to wear a Face Covering in public. But. Many are refusing there should be a federal mask mandate. We know studies across the country that when there is a mask mandate in place. The number of infections drops dramatically. There have been studies suggesting that mask mandates are actually more effective than lockdowns on saturday. The California Department of health reported 7,371 new cases. The Florida Department of health reported more than 8500 cases Health Officials in texas said the states sevenday covid19 Positivity Rate had risen to more than 19 . The highest sevenday average since the pandemic began. Doctors say one important factor to reopening the u. S. While maintaining safety is rethinking the National Strategy on testing for the Virus Testing is so important because it helps you distinguish who is a case from whos not. Who needs Contact Tracing right now were only doing about 800,000 tests a day which is so far below the minimum daily target of at least 2 million tests a day if not 4 million test every day thats what we need to do to get a handle on this.
