Due to the shortage of masks, the public should save those for medical personnel. They can use breathable materials like scarves, shirts and other cloth. Happening today, a celebration honoring Golden Gate Parks 150th anniversary. The shelterinplace orders have made organizers rearrange the event but it will still kick off today. Sara zendehnam has more on how they are pulling it together. Good morning. The original plan was to invite tens of thousands of people to Golden Gate Park today to celebrate the parks anniversary.

Its a special place to a lot of people. Its been around through natural disasters, wars, other pandemics, and you can still honor the big birthday in a different way. It wasnt exactly the party we intended to throw. We were hoping to have about 150,000 of us gathered arm in arm at Golden Gate Park but obviously we cant do that right now. Over the citys history, the park has been so important to all of us, and so important to our city, that we still wanted to do something. The celebration doesnt end today. Goldengatepark150.

The center is located near the citys Police Station and everyone at the nursing home is being tested now. Some are waiting for results to come back. So far three Staff Members and 24 residents have tested positive, more than half the people who live in the facility. Residents not affected are being kept in separate rooms with separate care givers. Theyre being grouped together with roommates who both tested positive in one area, and in the other area, roommates that both tested negative. The countys Emergency Operations center delivered supplies of masks and other protective equipment to that facility. The staff is receiving new training and being monitored. The Health Department is investigating the cases at other Senior Living facilities in the county but wouldnt name the sites until the investigation has been completed. The San Francisco Police Department is now issuing citations against people who are violating the shelterin place order. Sanfranciscos police chief says the vast majority of businesses and individuals in San Francisco have been following the sweeping shutdown rules, but a handful of people are learning to follow the order the hard way. If we have to go back, were not going to ask twice. We have had to cite a business in the last 24 hours, and we have cited individuals in the last 24 hours. The citations mark a shift in policy for San Francisco police. Officers initially focused on education instead of enforcement during the early days of the lockdown. The now oftenempty streets of San Francisco have created new opportunities for vandals. This video shows a man targeting a Mexican Restaurant in the mission district. He walks by, then throws a metal disc through the front window. Fortunately no one was hurt. Governor newsom says the state is facing a massive testing shortage and a backlog. The governor says Health Officials believe there are far more people infected with the coronavirus than the state and counties have confirmed. During a briefing yesterday, the governor focused on caring for the homeless who may have been exposed to the virus and who could spread it. We are already seeing hundreds and hundreds of individuals now off the streets and sidewalks and into the noncongregate sites, and ill reinforce that, noncongregate sites. What we want to do is relieve the stress in our shelter system so we can separate individuals and ultimately relieve the impact in the medical care delivery system. If left unaddressed, we allow our most vulnerable residents in the state of california to be exposed to this virus. There are 7,000 hotel rooms to house Homeless People with fema picking up 75 of the cost. They are hoping to secure 8,000 more rooms. The big story today is the weather. The next few days are going to be pretty wet. Thats right. Today and tomorrow, scattered showers monday and maybe even into tuesday. We have nice weather with the beneficial rain, but well dry out eventually. This is a look at whats going on over the east bay, starting out mostly cloudy. Its a little cool and breezy, windy in the hills. Well take a look at that as we get into the numbers first. This is a look at sfo, where its dry over central and southern areas of the bay. As we get into what were looking at for the second part of the morning and into the early afternoon, well begin to see a little bit more rain. Im not sure why the graphics dont want to move. Let me see if i can get it to go. Yes. 42degrees in santa rosa right now, 48 in San Francisco. Oakland has 50 degrees and san josi at 44. Temperatures are warmer this morning with all that cloud cover and humidity up. We have 9 degrees warmer over areas of oakland, 7 in santa rosa. With all that cloud cover in place and the breeze, it still feels quite cool. Sfo is reporting an onshore breeze of 7 miles an hour, mt. Diablo with 34. No wind advisory for our area. A little farther south we have an advisory that goes into place for sunday. This is a look at the satellite and radar, areas of the north bay around santa rosa through pet petaluma and to the west. Into the sierra, still mainly dry. That will change, and there is an advisory for travel if youre heading in that direction or have to be up over the passes this weekend, as that storm will continue to shift south along the coastline and bring us another round of rain tomorrow and scattered showers on monday. If you have plans to head to the sierra or over the passes, be prepared for the winter storm warnings and winter travel, 11 00 a. M. This morning to 11 00 a. M. Monday. Anywhere from 1 to 3 feet of snow is expected with this system. Its actually two waves moving through. But thats some great news for all of us. Well look at the temperatures expected for the afternoon today and the extended forecast coming up in just a few minutes. Thank you. All that snow in april. Coming up next, bringing comfort through cooking. How one San Francisco Restaurant Owner is working to keep the Vulnerable People in the Community Safe. And an uptick in Domestic Violence crimes. How covid19 is making life harder for victims and how advocates in the bay area hope to help. Stay with us. As people shelter in place, most crimes have dropped. Thats not the case with Domestic Violence victims. Experts say women and children who are at home with an abuser are more vulnerable than ever. And bay area advocates are responding. Reporter a distressing thought being stuck inside with an abuser because of stay at home orders. Being outside to home is often part of a survival strategy. I would say Domestic Violence is absolutely going up at this time. Reporter 911 dispatch centers have seen spikes, but when crisis lines go quiet, thats also alarming. Its harder for people to make calls right now. Its harder to have confident confidentiality right now. The violence is up but the outreach may not reflect that. The expectation right now is that a victim has to live at the scene of the crime. Reporter and so do children, because school is often where abuse is reported. We are hearing, he can check my internet. Reporter counselors are offering Safety Strategies for those who feel trapped. People feeling powerless about their ability to find work right now, all those things exacerbate violence in a home, in a family. Reporter a safe chat is offered for when a phone call is risky. Sanfrancisco has a text line for reaching out, especially now that most face to face programs are shelved. We work so hard to get them stabilized, we definitely dont want to see them sliding backwards. Reporter some survivors find refuge in transitional housing but are afraid they will lose it if they cant pay for it. We are hearing concerns that they cant make the rent. Reporter for most victims, life in a pandemic is too unstable to make a major change. But the work continues, keeping families sheltered and safe and fed. Experts say those suffers deserve our care and concern. Support that friend or neighbor or the person in your Apartment Building who seems really upset in the laundry room. Reporter and they need to know, help has not stopped. Although abusers exploit isolation and fear, coronavirus didnt make it any easier. Covid19 is not an excuse to be violent. There are renewed concerns about the conditions of a San Francisco jail and the possibility there could be a coronavirus outbreak there. Its jail number 4 in San Francisco, on the seventh floor of San Franciscos hall of justice. It is the countys oldest facility. 25 of the population there have been released. Remaining inmates have been spread out to implement social distancing. Motions have been filed to get clients released pretrial. Theres no physical way that jail with its capacity could go down to a distance where enough people can keep the sixfoot distance. So far no inmates have tested positive at the jail. Some city lawmakers are already pushing to close the facility and now want it shut down within six months. There is no plan for added capacity at any other facilities right now. To the north bay, a procession for an officer killed by covid19. Detective mary lou armors motorcade made its way down the streets yesterday, the first Police Officer to die in the line of duty from the coronavirus. She was only 43 years of age, and a 20year veteran of the santa rosa Police Department. Seven other officers have tested positive for the virus. As we all continue to shelter in place and take a look outside, its important to remember that we still need the rain and snow in the mountains, just in terms of overall for the season because we were dry. Youre right, 40 to 50 of average. As we roll through april, we are very lucky and fortunate to be getting this type of storm. We are looking at a good amount of bay area rain for the weekend as well as much needed snow. This will be a good snow maker as we are going to be unseasonably cool for this time of year. This is a look at the Golden Gate Bridge, a mainly dry one still this hour. You can see folks kind of moving across the bay there with cloudy skies overhead. This is a look at the rain over northern california, getting into the north bay as expected right along highway 1 and areas of the Coastal Range. Then highway 101, looks like santa rosa, petaluma beginning to see the light sprinkles as well. This is a look at the center of the storm, off the coastline there just between oregon and california. Its going to continue to shift south, so well not only get a wave today, but well get a second tomorrow, and it will keep unsettled weather in the forecast for the next few days. A look at the futurecast, getting into 10 00 or so, the scattered showers continue to move a little farther south and east. Now were into the lunch hour, where its more widespread and moving into the south bay. 2 00 in the afternoon, its widespread from the north bay, central bay and into the south bay. So we have a lot of rain coming in for the first part of the day. Getting into the afternoon and evening hours, it breaks away to scattered showers. If you want to get out and get that exercise, maybe walk around the block, Late Afternoon or early evening could be the better opportunity if you want to avoid the rain. This is a look at sunday morning, where the rain continues as we get into the afternoon, breaking away after that. Morning rain and afternoon scattered showers, then mostly cloudy for the weekend. Looks like well get breaks in the evening hours. As far as the rainfall amounts for today, anywhere from a quarter to a half inch expected in most areas. Going through late sunday into early monday, you can see we are expecting anywhere from an inch to perhaps inch and a half for some of the wetter spots, maybe two for areas over the hills, and two to three feet of new snow in the sierra. We have 53 degrees in oakland and this afternoon will be cool, upper 50s and low 60s. A little breeze out there as well, especially in the hills. The extended forecast shows you temperatures are not going to warm for the next several days. Monday and tuesday well get more of a sunny break and the possibility of thunderstorms coming our way as the unsettled weather is going to last. Meanwhile, i say enjoy the rain and looking forward to when the dry weather returns as well. Thank you.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused the nations jobless rate to rise at a speed thats unmatched in the u. S. History. The labor departments latest report shows the u. S. Unemployment rate rising from the 50year low up to 4. 4 . Employment experts stress thats based on statistics from early march and doesnt cover the Record Number of people laid off and furloughed in just the past two weeks. Many now say the Unemployment Office cant handle the surge in claims. Its extremely frustrating because the bills keep coming. I know being a fulltime Kindergarten Teacher to my son, its a lot. Labor experts predict at least another few months of recordbreaking unemployment claims, and workers could face the worst u. S. Job market since the great depression. Zoom meetings are becoming business as usual during the shutdown, and one woman had a very unpleasant experience when uninvited visitors joined her online. That was mona phillips, who was leading a town hall meeting with agents across the country when some loud voices suddenly came out of nowhere. They took control over my whole ability to control the actual video, and then a video came up or a picture that was pornographic in nature, and it was awful. They just kept screaming. She said she managed to shut everything down and restart the meeting. Zoom has become an increasingly popular target of hackers in recent weeks. In response, the company will require passwords for all zoom meetings starting next week. Some suspects are accused of using the coronavirus to try and pull off crimes. One suspect wore a mask at a walmart and was seen trying to steal 780 in energy drinks. Security backed away when he claimed he had the coronavirus. Police were able to later catch up with him and arrest him. He was checked out and cleared of the virus. In a separate case, a pharmacist wearing a mask was accused of robbery. The pharmacist used a hospital mask to allegedly rob three different pharmacies over the course of a year. So now people are Wearing Masks and Authorities Say it will depend case to case if someone acts really very nervous, looking around to see if anyone is watching them. The grand princess cruise ship is in its last day of quarantine. One coworker who was infected and evacuated from the ship last month died earlier this week. The crews are worried they will not be able to go home because of International Travel bans. A teleconference was held yesterday with Health Care Workers and Community Groups on behalf of the crew. The grand princess is still currently in San Francisco bay. The bayer is one bay area has been hit hard by the pandemic and our political reporter greg lee held a forum with the mayors of San Francisco, oakland, san josi and berkeley about their ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic and their efforts to protect their communities. The mayors spoke out about a range of issues, including solutions for protecting the homeless, economic recovery and getting First Responders what they need. Watch the digital mayors Forum Tomorrow night during the 10 00 news. The cdc is recommending americans wear Face Covering while in public. The change was prompted by recent studies showing a number of people with covid19 infections not showing any symptoms. Evidence shows the virus can spread from simply speaking with someone in close proximity. Discipline and determination. I guess that really describes what we are asking every american. A face barrier can actually interrupt a number of virus particles that can go from one person to the other. The masks can be made at home from common materials like cloth. M95 masks should be left for medical professionals. The bay area is going to get a little wet today. Lets check in and find out how much rain and how long. Thats right, we are looking at much needed rain, maybe a half inch today and another inch tomorrow. The bay area could get up to 2 inches of rainfall over the next few days. In this a look at san josi, where were mostly cloudy at the moment. We have a possibility of a few scattered showers for you here, expected to become more widespread as we get into the second part of the morning and easterly afternoon. Temperature wise, its a warmer start out there, 42 degrees right now in areas over santa rosa, 48 in s an francisco. We have a little fog there, 50 in oakland and 44 over s an josi. Up by several degrees here, talking 9 degrees in oakland and napa, and 7 degrees warmer this morning in santa rosa. Its cloudy and cool and breezy, and for some its rainy already. Sfo is reporting that onshore breeze about 7 miles an hour, so theres a bit of a breeze for some of us. Expect the wet weather to increase saturday and moving through the next few hours. This is a look at this morning along highway 1, areas over inverness, some rain for you there. Highway 101 through petaluma and san rafael, we have light rain there. Looking east just a little bit, i think i see some over sonoma as well as napa. Central bay, still mainly dry. Just a few sprinkles near 580 and areas around san josi, maybe even fremont in the east bay getting light rain at this time. The sierra is still dry but that will change in the coming hours. Take a look at what we can expect here, and we have a winter storm warning for the sierra starting at 11 00 and expires 11 00 a. M. Monday morning. 2 to 3 feet expected here over the next couple days, maybe even 4 feet for isolated spots. Thats good news for the entire state. After the break well have a timeline of the rain expected for our area and a better look at the temperatures expected for this time of year, coming up in just a little bit. Taking care of the elderly is now one of the riskiest jobs in health care. Coming up, the nurse that says he and his colleagues lack basic protection. And if you have trouble sleeping, were talking with a sleep expert who has ways to get a better nights sleep, when we come back. Lately, ive discovered that while keeping safe and staying in, we can still go out sort of. So while youre discovering new things to do in the box, well be here for you. At the drivethru, on the mobile app, and with delivery. While keeping safe and staying in, we can still go out sort of. So while youre discovering new things to do in the box, well be here for you. At the drivethru, on the mobile app, and with delivery. If youre having trouble sleeping, youre probably not alone. Stress and changes in what we eat can make a difference and we are all dealing with that. We spoke with a sleep expert about what types of foods could help you sleep better and when its best to eat them. Avoid anything heavy right before sleep, because as you digest that, it will affect the quality of sleep. If you eat high sugar products, youll have a crash in the middle of the night and feel lethargic in the morning. You may think, ill try healthy like broccoli and cauliflower. These are cruciferous vegetables and its going to bloat you. Something like a little Peanut Butter or yogurt. Actually melatonin is in cherries and piece attach os. A little bit is a good evening snack. How long before sleep too . People are already like, i cant have coffee after 3 00 or its over. We know some of those things. In a perfect world, avoid eating three hours before bed. But if you need something, fine an hour before bed, have a little something. The other thing is watch for the greasy, spicy and salty foods because they can cause acid reflux and indigestion as well. Those are some goals. And naps should be 20 to 30 minutes. I break that rule all the time. Ill try and do better. If you can try to stick to a similar schedule, close to what you had before the shelterin place, that will also help with the sleep. Journaling is a good one and turning off electronics a couple hours before bedtime can also make sure when you get into bed, you sleep better. Good advice. We are all having trouble with that. Supermarkets and Grocery Stores have become the busiest places in town skew to the shelterinplace order and a number of markets are implementing tougher safety rules in response to the growing number of customers. They are stepping up the enforcement of social distancing and limiting the number of customers that can be inside the store at the same time. Grocery store workers will be at a higher risk than people working from home for obvious reasons, because they come into contact with all kinds of people during their shift. We have a Family Member at risk, so im trying to do everything i can to prevent bringing it home. Any limited contact with the customer is preferred. Health experts stress the risk of being infected from items at the Grocery Store is extremely low, but wash your hands before and after going to the store. Some people take it a step further, washing the bags and everything they buy. Cant be too sure, right . And medical experts say if you dont need it, leave it in the garage for a couple days and leave it out there. Thats safe too. It is a hard change, i think. I did wear a mask that i got from a neighbor, a cloth mask to the store yesterday, and it felt strange. Its going to take a little getting used to for all of us. How are you dealing with this, so many new habits to try and create . Youre right, i feel like im back and forth with the gloves and mask, feel like im walking into a hazmat situation. It seems silly, but with each passing day you hear different things. Before it was like only people that were ill, wear the masks. Now theyre saying everybody wear the mask because you dont know if youre ill. When in doubt, put it on. I got to costco the other day and left it in the car, then i went back. Dont touch your face. Ill go another day without toilet paper. Thats okay. We have rain falling outside the doors and thats a welcome sight because we are well below average this time of year. Getting into april, the chance of rain is deteriorating. This is a nice looking storm with a good amount of rain and snow in the sierra. This is a look at the storm tracker, where the rain is falling over areas of the north bay and picking up on a little light rain over the east bay and south bay. Lets go to the north bay where it started this morning along highway 101. Right over inverness, on and off light rain for the last hour or two. This is a look at 101, light scattered showers from santa rosa through petaluma, and then east we have the rain around sonoma and napa. The north bay locations seeing some of that as we get started here. We have areas over fremont with some light rain, and if you get a little east, dublin, maybe livermore getting some of this as well. The rain will continue to increase. This is a look at the storm, the center of it off the coast there. It will take a southerly track, so one wave moves through today and the next wave moves through tomorrow. This is a look at what we can expect today. By 10 00 or so its widespread over the north bay, moving into the central bay. By noon, 1 00, its all the way into the south bay. For the afternoon, well remain at least with steady rain through about 3 00 before it tapers off to scattered showers for the rest of the day. 9 00a. M. Sunday morning, its fairly widespread. Into the afternoon, another break. For the most part for the weekend, we are talking about steady rain for the first half of the day then on and off shower activity for the evening hours. The futurecast here shows you for our first day, well get to about a half inch of rainfall. By tomorrow night and into early monday, anywhere from an inch to an inch and a half is expected, maybe even 2 inches for the hills. Its a bit of a warm start but still cool and cloudy, 42 in santa rosa, 48 in s an francisco. The afternoon highs today are below average, upper 50s and low 60s, so it feels a little bit like winter out there. Well take it because the sierra is expecting 2 to 3 feet of new snow out of the next couple systems coming our way. Extended forecast shows you temperatures wont change. Were cool for the next several days, scattered showers in the forecast for monday and the possibility of thunderstorms coming our way. We have a chance of that on tuesday, and then were dry on wednesday. Good hunkering down weather, just what we need. Coming up next, why the owners of one of the oldest restaurants in a peninsula city made the decision to shut down during the pandemic. And this years nba class is one of the most impressive but comes with a lot of emotion. More on that coming up. Michael vasquez come over here. Ive heard such good things about you, your company. Well, i wouldnt have done any of it without you. Without this place. This is for you. Michael, you didnt have to. And, were going to need some help with the rest. Youve worked so hard to achieve so much. Perhaps its time to partner with someone who knows you and your business well enough to understand what your wealth is really for. My wife never gets home in time to see little man go to sleep. Her bus stop is a mile away. I wish i could at least walk home with her. Im completing the 2020 census for my family.

Im always surprised when i see a lot of people on the roads. Im like, where are you going . Where are you going . Its getting to be a common sight no matter what time of day in the bay area, the roads are fairly clear, which is indicative of the crazy world that we are in. It could be a good thing today that the roads are clear because the rain is going to come, making it messy out there. Yes, we do have wet roadways already over parts of the north bay. It started this morning and its now transitioning into the central and south bay. Take a look at where the light scattered showers are falling this hour. In the north bay, we have light rain along highway 1 near inverness. Over in the valleys this morning, san josi and petaluma along highway 116, you have light rain there. Shifting to the east bay, the shore seeing some as well from hercules and into berkeley. Off to the west, its over angel island and treasure island, approaching San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. South bay, light activity near san josi, more widespread from fremont and milpitas into san josi. To the east bay, highway 4 is covered from that transition 680 through highway 4 as well as brentwood. 580, livermore, some widespread rain moving east towards tracy. Into the sierra, its a dry one but that will change with a lot of sierra snow on the way as well and an advisory to talk about coming up. Today we have temperatures in the low 40s to low 50s this morning, only getting into the 60s for the afternoon. Widespread rain expected for the first part of the day, isolated showers for the second half. How much rainfall were expecting coming up in just a few minutes. Thank you. There are more than 3,100 confirmed cases of the coronavirus here in the bay area. Santa clara county is expected to top 1,100 cases today and 38 people there have died. The federal government is recommending people wear some type of protective material to cover their nose and mouth. The cdc says studies show a significant amount of people with covid19 dont show any symptoms, but the virus can still spread between people interacting in close proximity, including coughing sneezing and even talking. The public is being told to save the medical grade masks for First Responders and health care personnel. Use Face Coverings made from breathable materials like a bandanna or scarves and shirts or sheets. San Francisco Police are issuing citations for those who violate the shelterinplace order. Sanfranciscos police chief says the vast majority of businesses and individuals in San Francisco have been following the sweeping rules, but a handful of people are learning to follow the order the hard way. If we have to go back, were not going to ask twice. We have had to cite a business in the last 24 hours, and we have cited individuals in the last 24 hours. These citations mark a shoplift in policy for the San Francisco police. Officers initially focused on education instead of enforcement during the early days of the lockdown. The oftenempty streets have created new opportunities for vandals. This shows a man targeting a Mexican Restaurant in the mission district. He walks by, then for some unknown reason, stops and throws a metal disc through the front window. Fortunately no one was hurt. A nursing home in Contra Costa County is closed to the public as 27 people at the facility tested positive for the coronavirus. The care Center Located near the citys Police Station had everyone at the nursing home now being tested. Some are still waiting for results to come back. So far three of the Staff Members and 24 residents tested positive, and thats more than half the people who live there. Residents who are not infected are being kept in separate rooms with separate care givers. Youre being grouped together with your roommates who both test positive in one area, then in the other area, roommates that both tested negative. Supplies of masks and other protective equipment were delivered to the facility. The staff is also receiving training and being monitored for symptoms. The Health Department is investigating reports of covid 19 cases at other Senior Living facilities in the county but wouldnt name those sites until the investigation is completed. Governor newsom says california is facing a massive testing shortage as well as a backlog. The governor said Health Officials believe there are far more people infected with the virus than the state and county confirmed. Yesterday he focused on cares for homeless who may have been exposed to the virus and could spread it. We are already seeing hundreds and hundreds of individuals now off the streets and sidewalks and into these noncongregate sites. Ill reinforce that, noncongregate sites. What we want to do is relieve the stress in our shelter system so we could separate individuals and ultimately relieve the impact in our medical care system. If left unaddressed, we allow our most vulnerable residents in the state of california to be exposed to the virus. The state now has 7,000 hotel rooms to house Homeless People with fema picking up 75 of the cost. The governor hopes to secure 8,000 more rooms.

I may not go for a run but i may open the garage door so i can look at the rain while i work out today. Not bad. Yes, yes. My friend let me borrow at one point one of those stationary lockdown thing i think trainers use, so you can put your real bike on and lock it down. Thats always a good idea. Cheaper than peleton. Thats right. Outside the doors, we are off to a rainy start. Well get some breaks in the afternoon and evening hours.

The campaign to be sure they can get access to food, and the pandemic causing a hold on many treatments. Welcome back. Today is day two at a drive through testing facility in fremont. This morning at Fremont Fire Tactical Training Center onson boulevard, priority goes to Health Care Workers and anyone showing symptoms like a fever. Many patients across the country are in limbo, and that includes couples going through fertility treatments. We spoke with a couple who are in a very uncertain time. We are two and a half years into our journey of trying to conceive. We have done ivf, in vetro fetor fertilization. After six weeks, we miscarried. That was about two weeks ago. I think for us its just like so new right now, and we havent ever felt this before, because the first two times it didnt work. This time there was some hope and we thought we were going to have a baby in november. So now we just are kind of stuck. We havent been able to talk to our doctor yet because everything is on hold. We have one embryo left, and we dont know when well be able to use it. We havent been able to talk to anybody. I spoke with their doctor and they have an appointment to talk with him over the phone. He says while everyone understanding the necessity of the situation and the shutdown, its created a lot of uncertainty for millions of couples racing against the clock. According to the age and reproductive potential of that particular patient, the younger patient with good ovarian reserve will have a greater window of opportunity or be able to withstand the delay, versus a patient whos later in her reproductive years and whose reproductive potential is lower. For that older patient with lower ovarian reserve, its month to month in a crisis versus the younger patient. Ill tell you too, that you also have to look at where are they financially. Assume the patient coming through has at least for the moment some kind of insurance coverage. Who knows whats going to happen when this is all over. Will that coverage still be there . Will they lose their coverage . There are so many unknowns we are fighting right now. Its a scary time for the over 7 million couples and patients out there that are waiting and going through treatment. Theyre in limbo. They are in absolute limbo. And he says look, they have offered up all their medical supplies to the medical community, and their resources. They are continuing to do what they can for patients, again, all through telemedicine. Tough times for everyone. Coming up next, the cdc is changing its policy on people Wearing Masks in public. How they hope it can prevent the spread, and which masks they want you to avoid. And how San Francisco is honoring the 150th anniversary of Golden Gate Park today while keeping people undoors with a virtual concert thats underway right now.

Up next, the cdc changed its guidelines for those going out in public. What they say you must do for any essential errands u. S. Errands you must run. And federal investigators want to know why promised masks havent turned up. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Hunker down, week two or three. Im losing count. This ought to wake you up a little bit, a man out with his dog, social distancing. No one is out there, Jack London Square kind of this gray day.

They will grab that leash and say, its time to go. Yes indeed. We could maybe get out this morning before the rain becomes more widespread. If youre looking out and its not falling just yet, maybe get out. Otherwise it will be widespread for the first part of the afternoon. Then as we get closer to sunset, well taper off to scattered showers. We started this morning around 5 00, 6 00 in the north bay, and now we are seeing it in the north bay, east bayshore at times, widespread over the east bay. Shift to the inner city east bay, rain falling alongside 80. Over towards highway 4, we have some there as well. Areas over american canyon, just a few hitandmiss showers reported there.

Lets talk about the federal government and what it is doing in terms of looking into an issue with a big order, 40 million in surgical masks that was supposed to go to hospitals. No one can figure out where they went. The Health Care Workers Union Announced a deal for the purchase of the n95 masks, which were supposed to go to hospitals and government agencies. But a week later, no masks. The l. A. Times reports that federal investigators are now looking into the matter, and there are no indications the union was a target. More grim news out of new york city, where the death toll from the coronavirus is nearing 2,000. Governor cuomo signed an order to redistribute hundreds of ventilators from upstate to overwhelmed hospitals in the city. New york saw its biggest spike in cases and deaths in one day yesterday, 6,400 people testing positive and more than 300 died. The cdc is recommending americans wear Face Coverings in public after new data shows the coronavirus can spread more easily than first thought. Studies showed a number of people with infections showing no symptoms, and the virus can spread from simply speaking with someone in close proximity in addition to sneezing and coughing. Discipline and determination really describes what we are asking every american. A face barrier can interrupt the number of virus particles that can go from one person to the other. Reporter the Surgeon General says the masks can be made at home from common materials at a very low cost and n95 masks should be left for the medical workers. Democrats are furious that President Trump is firing the government watchdog who informed congress about the ukraine whistleblower complaint. Congressman adam schiff is accusing the president of trying to lessen the criticism. Chuck schumer says its another example of the president canning someone for telling the truth. There are new concerns about the condition of one of San Franciscos jails and we are talking about San Francisco jail 4 and the risk of a coronavirus outbreak there. Jail number 4 is located on the seventh floor of s an franciscos hall of justice, and it is the countys oldest facility. 25 of the population have been released and remaining inmates have been spread out so they can implement social distancing. One public defender has been trying to get her clients released pretrial. Theres no physical way that jail with its capacity could go down enough that people can keep a sixfoot distance. So far no inmates have tested positive at the jail and some lawmakers are already pushing to close the facility within six months. Right now theres no plan for added capacity at any other facilities. Big doings in San Francisco today, a celebration honoring Golden Gate Parks 150th anniversary.

We were hoping to have about 150,000 of us gathered arm in arm in Golden Gate Park but obviously we cant do that right now. And you know, over the citys history, the park has been so important to all of us, important to our city. We still wanted to do something. Last year there was a big announcement about the party and the city bringing in a 150 foot ferris wheel. That was in the middle of being built when the plans changed.
