Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 5am 20240713

Pushing to get the lower house of congress to pass that 2 trillion Economic Relief bill the Senate Approved unanimously yesterday. The president has offered his support for the biggest relief of his kind in american history. Nancy pelosi wants to send that bill to President Trumps desk as fast as possible. She wants the house to pass a bill by a voice vote. That would not record which way the house votes but it could get it approved despite some house members being absent after they tested positive for the coronavirus or they may still be in quarantine. House majority leader says that vote is likely to be tomorrow after legislative debate on that giant bill. Now ktvu fox 2 newss alyssa hairenton is joining us live also working from home to tell us whos eligible, to get something and bh people might be seeing that money after President Trump signs the bill. Good morning. Well, almost everyone is eligible. This includes seniors who already collect Social Security checks, veterans, even people who are unemployed. The only people who cannot get a stimulus check are those in the country illegally and anyone who can be used for deductions for another person. Now the amount you are eligible for depends on income. A person who filed taxes individually and made less than 75,000 can get up to 1,200. But the more you make, the less you get. Every 1,000 over 75,000 reduces that check by 50 until it finally reaches zero for someone who made 99,000 in one year. People who filed jointly can get up to 2,400 plus 500 a child. Head of house holds are eligible for 1,200 and 500 per child. The Small Businesses like the Walnut Creek Yacht Club are hoping it will provide some relief. The bill would provide more than 300 billion in aid for Small Businesses mostly in the form of loans so they can continue making payroll while workers are forced to stay home. The yacht club has been in walnut creek for 23 years. The shelterinplace order forced the owner there to lay off 45 employees. Reporting live im alyssa harington. Ktvu fox 2 news. Our time is now 5 03. Were closely watching wall street and it looks like the markets today will start with losses. Thats likely because of fears about the unemployment report that will be coming out at 5 30. Its expected to show that millions of new jobless claims were filed last week. The markets were mixed at the end of trading yesterday. There was a selloff after the senate vote on the largest economic stimulus package in u. S. History was temporarily delayed before the closing bell. The dow and the s p 500 ended the day with gains. The nasdaq was down slightly. Our time is 5 04. Students at Public Schools in six bay area counties will be out of school at least until may 1st. The offices of education for alameda, santa clara, marin, contra costa, san mateo, and San Francisco as well as the city of berkeley agreed on that date and they made an official announcement. Officials say that date may even be extended, but they wanted to let families and educators have a certain time frame to work from. Knowing that this time is extended a little bit gives them a little more runway to make some more long term plans and i think everybodys prepared to deal with whatever comes whenever it comes. Now, the governor has warned the rest of the school year could be lost. However, the schools say theyll still provide Online Learning programs as well as school food programs. Pam. Well, we are learning more about the deaths of two passengers who contracted the coronavirus on the grand princess cruise ship and later died.

The first death occurred last saturday, the second on monday. The grand princess docked at the port orford of oakland this month. 103 tested positive for coronavirus. Now, there are 1,181 coronavirus cases now here in the bay area with 27 deaths. Santa clara, San Francisco, and contra costa counties all saw more than 20 new cases in the past day. Santa clara county reports 84 new cases raising its total to 459 with 17 deaths. Governor newsom says california is sharply increasing the number of people getting tested for the coronavirus. Nearly 67,000 have now been tested. Thats more than double the number since tuesday. Newsom says testing will expand even more as medical facilities get additional kits and more labs start analyzing them. Now, the family of a south bay woman who died from the coronavirus is now warning others of the severity of the illness. Now, the family of 65yearold Arcelia Martinez says she was devoted a mother, a wife, loved her job as a cashier at food max. She was also a grandmother. She was feeling fatigued before she was eventually admitted to Oconnor Hospital on march 14th and she died one week later. Her family says she was diabetic. They do say they want other people to take this virus seriously. Now, no other family members have tested positive for covid 19 at this point.

Many bay area communities taking action now trying to protect renters facing Economic Uncertainty right now. Courts in San Francisco, alameda, contra costa, and santa clara counties are delaying eviction hearings. And sheriffs offices in alameda and San Francisco say they will postpone executing evictions. Governor newsom issued an executive order allowing local governments to stop evictions. San francisco already laid out its rent moratoriums guidelines for people affected by the coronavirus. And a tenants rights lawyer explained exactly what that means. Because of the coronavirus, you either are hospitalized. You have mounting medical bills related to your hospitalization or family members. Youve lost your jobs or your hours have been reduced. Now, some groups also want rent freezes. One San Francisco landlord we talked to said he supports the idea of no i convictions, no late fees and deferring the rent, but says he needs guidance from city or state leaders on what he should do about paying his mortgage if hes not generating income from his properties. Time is 5 08. The governor announced some Property Owners could get relief from their banks.

Among the most recent infections, a San Francisco Police Sergeant who works with the special victims unit at the hall of justice. They may be asymptomatic right now.

Louisiana governor John Bell Edwards says the Current Trends will overwhelm new orleanss hospitals by early april. President trump approved his plea for a federal disaster declaration. One possibility for the cause of those high numbers mardi gras celebrations back in late february. I happen to believe with people coming from all over the country and all of the world into new orleans, that a fair amount of coronavirus was seeded in that area. Now, the state of louisiana is sending extra ambulance teams to new orleans where more than half of the ems employees have been exposed to the virus. The National Guard is also running several drivethru test locations. And nationwide, the United States now has more than 69,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus.

And the San Francisco city run atla honda hospital is under lockdown this morning. The fifth staff member has tested positive for the coronavirus and a second unit of the hospital is now closed off. Now, investigators do not know if the staffers were infected at the hospital or elsewhere. Administrators say 15 patients have been tested so far and there are no positive cases. The virus is a deep concern at this hospital since the majority of the patients are seniors. San francisco also working on plans to handle a surge of people infected with the virus. A new floor in st. Francis hospital just opened. Its dedicated to treating up to 40 coronavirus cases. The citys Health Department estimates San Francisco will need 5,000 more hospital beds and 1,500 ventilators. Public schools in six bay area counties will stay closed at least until may 1st. Alameda, skoifrj, marin, San Francisco, sean mcdermott, and santa clara counties as well as schools in berkeley agree to that extension and they may stay closed even longer if they have to. Many of the schools will still provide Online Learning as well as free meal programs. And the east Bay Regional Parks district is closing more than a dozen parks as well as parking lots. They want to prevent the coronavirus from spreading. Park rangers said a lot of those areas saw a lot of visitors last weekend and many of the people were ignoring social distancing guidelines. Among the closures are the parking lot at the crown beach in alameda. And the parks at sinole regional wilderness as well as the tillden botanical garden. They want to cut down on the number of visitors at the beach. Big crowds flocked to parks and beaches last weekend. Pam. All right. Speaking of the parks and beaches, we are supposed to stay away. But hopefully if you can find an empty spot for a little outside work out, whats the weather going to be like, steve . You need to bundle up. We will get a break for most today.

My dew points 32. Healdsburgs 29. Kenwoods 30 and petalumas 32. So there is a little puff of a breeze for a few. I know its not much but that might be enough to keep the temps up a little bit. You had that east wind in lirmore. And the wind chills at 33. A little bit of fog, cool high temps. Most of these are confined to the san mateo coast also just about south San Francisco down towards Half Moon Bay and no doubt about it santa cruz over to monterey. Thats the main focus. 30s on a lot of these temps including redwood city, fremont, san jose, walnut creek, concord, brentwood. Its going to be a cool morning here for many. Pinolls 33. 34 danville and san ramon and mostly sunny partly cloudy for most. Next system wont be here until next saturday but this cold front goes all the way down to southern california. And we are looking for some rain on saturday maybe. Not a lot but enough. But the forecast looks like it wants to keep right on marching on into early april. So maybe this pattern will stick with us for awhile. Highs today 50s and or very low 60s. Our next system shows up on saturday. And there it is. Okay. Steve and pam working from home. Thank you.

We have breaking news now. The Labor Department just released the report on unemployment claims for last week. We knew the numbers would be big. Ktvus allie rasmus reporting from home right now. How big was it . Nearly 3. 3 million americans filed for unemployment claims last week. That is more than quadruple the previous record set in the u. S. Back in 1982. Even before this report came out, we had a sense that things were going to be pretty bad. Governor gavin newsom estimated that as many as a million californians filed for unemployment claims since march march 13th. So a million at least of those 3. 3 million across the country in california. Now the bay area was the first in the nation to enact a Community Wide shelterinplace order. That of course led to the closure of hundreds of thousands of businesses and people immediately began filing unemployment claims after that. The governor says the stimulus package passed last night by the senate will provide help for some. The state provides about 450 a week in Unemployment Insurance and now the federal government would add an extra 600 a week to that. But the governor said californians will need more help in the days and months ahead. When we talked Unemployment Insurance, we talk about a 600 increase beyond what states are already providing on a weekly basis for the next four months, that doesnt mean much when youre facing the burden and the cost associated with, for example, your mortgage. Reporter now, the governor says about 200 banks have agreed to provide forebarence. Bank of america was the only major bake that did not submit to that 90day grace period instead submitting to only 30 days. Some economists say the nations Unemployment Rate could reach 13 by may. In oakland, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. Thank you. Time is 5 48. The 2020 president ial race also affected by the pandemic. Campaign stops and rallies have stopped because of social distancing orders. Candidates are trying to find other ways to reach voters. President trump, hes been appearing every day in white house briefings while joe biden and Bernie Sanders have been using social media to reach out to voters. Primary voting could be moved to later in the year, but one political analyst says, its not likely the date of the president ial election in november will be changed. If the federal government decided to start moving it beyond those dates, that would be probably unconstitutional. Its possible we could do all of those by mail. Now, thats a little complicated because theres only five states that vote completely by mail right now. Now at this point, both parties plan to move ahead with their conventions. The Democratic National convention in milwaukee is scheduled for july. But with thousands of people usually taking part from all over the country, that will be difficult if social distancing is still in place. The Republican Party said yesterday, they will hold their convention in august in charlotte, North Carolina as planned. Pam. All right. Also, happening today, warriors star steph curry is going to host a discussion with dr. Anthony fauci, the nations top expert on covid19. Now, steph curry will take questions about the virus. You can also submit a question by commenting on his instagram or you can tweet a question. Use the hashtag scs andc asksfauci. Thats interesting steph curry taking that leadership role. Steve paulson also working from home just like pam. My temps down to 33. 6. So its getting colder. Wow. It is cold. 30s here. You can feel it no doubt about it. Frost advisory is out to the north. That goes until 9 00 in the morning. Upper 20s, 30s on the temps there. Kelseyvilles in there. Healdsburgs in there. Sebastopol. Are all below 32 or colder. Our active march continues. Although the focus for any rain looks to be along the san mateo, santa cruz coast. Santa rosa, napa both reporting fog as well. East wind at livermore.
