This year fire officials acknowledge it is more difficult to get the word out during a time when people are occupied by the coronavirus. We are both in the same boat, the focus is on the pandemic, but not ignoring the fact that summer is right around the corner. We need to make sure the community understands that even though they may have a shelter in place that affects them or they are under home quarantine, there are still things that can be doing proactively in their own household and around a rag the tubs fire killed 22 people and torched 5200 homes in santa rosa three years ago and is a reminder of what can happen.

The Trump Administration is working with congress to come up with a plan to provide more funds for the Small Business loan graham. Ray bogan with details tonight from thnumber like that reporter there is an urgent push to get more funding for the Paycheck Protection Program has more than 70 billion in loans have been awarded in just the first five days. We will be running out of money pretty quickly which is a good thing in this case, not a bad thing. The white house and Top Republicans and democrats are working together to get an additional 250 billion in funding in the next couple of days. Small Business Loans in my view, are very important. One key to reopening the economy is keeping employer and employee relationships in tact. Loan disbursements got off to a rocky start, it crashed multiple times and the Treasury Department has since given lenders new guidance on how the loans work. Anytime you design a program that applies to 90 of the nobodies in america and spent 345 million and you have six days to do it, you will have glitches. Meanwhile Chuck Schumer and other Top Democrats are proposing what they say is one of their Top Priorities for phase 4, hazard pay for workers exposing themselves to keep society running, of up to 25,000.

I know Banks Like Bank of america got record numbers of applications as soon as those loans were announced, and again, these are forgivable loans for Small Businesses. The mayor says the city started a Donation Fund for people to give money that will go directly back into the community. It will go to seniors, families in need ofs food security, Small Businesses and Community Based organizations. A link to the oakland fund is on our website, ktvu. Com, under web links. Five San Francisco supervisors propose an emergency ordinance that would require the city to secure thousands of hotel rooms for the homeless by april 26. Some of the rooms will be used for frontline medical workers and quarantine but most will be set aside for the homeless. The measure needs to pass by a majority vote of the board of supervisors. It will hold the mayor and city agencies legally accountable for the homeless response to the coronavirus crisis. More than 2 million californians have filed for jobless benefits. The governor says they are scrambling to get newly out of work people benefits allowed under the new federal stimulus package. It added 600 to unemployment payments but there are so many new claims that it isnt yet known when the payments will go out. Shelter in place orders have apparently given some criminal suspects the green light to try to outrun the law. The Crime Reporter henry lee tells us that the open roads also make it easier for the chp to spot the guys from both the ground and from the air. Its happened over and over despite the coronavirus shelter in place. Highspeed pursuits of suspects refusing to stop. Its not limited to the freeway. These men were busted after chase is on city streets in the east bay. The expectation is that the violator will yield to the emergency vehicle. Most drivers do stop, even if theyve been caught going as fast as 150 miles an hour. But those who dont, think they own the road. And with fewer cars on the road, fleeing felons may be going faster. It has the potential to reach these speeds because there are less obstacles. But the problem is, there are still obstacles. Obstacles like other cars, on saturday a man and a stolen ford fusion went the wrong way on highway 101 and was arrested after Sheriff Deputies used spike strips to flattened tires. On sunday a chp helicopter was overhead when officers chased the suspect from vallejo, watch as the officer lays out a spike strip on i80 in emeryville. The suspect stopped the car in North Oakland and ran off. On mlk, i have the driver heading southbound mlk. He was quickly caught. A few days before that another suspect led chp officers on a chase from San Francisco to the oakland airport, to orinda. Officers again used to spike strip. Lost a wheel, heading towards the shoulder at 55 miles an hour. One by one the wheels fell off. Lost another wheel. Just before the tunnel, the takedown. Most of these people are not going to be able to not only outrun the radio and our aircraft, we will get ground units in position. Police say alluding the cops is an elective, not an essential activity during the coronavirus crisis. Police in san jose are investigating a deadly stabbing. Officers were called to check on a man inside a car on lets try to drive after 7 30 yesterday evening. When officers arrived they discovered the victim had been stabbed to death.

At the white house Stephanie Grisham is out as press secretary but she will be returning to the east wing as chief of staff for the first lady.

And the sunshine is back, and 6 30 will be back in a moment as well. Empty airports are the new normal as most people are too afraid to fly because of concerns over the coronavirus. Tom vacar has a look at the fallout as the airlines cut back the service levels, never seen before. Reporter before coronavirus, airlines have failed to fully utilize all their assigned gates risked losing those extremely limited and valuable passenger portals to competing airlines. Uc berkeleys Business Airline economist outlined uncle sams reasoning. We will say whatever your holdings, access to these airports, we will maintain that even if you dont use them during the coronavirus. Two days ago, instead of the tsa screening the usual 2. 2 million daily passengers nationwide, they screened only 108,000, that is a decline of more than 95 . Domestic flights are down over 50 , down 56 . International flights on a weekly basis are down 84 . So we are at a level of scheduled reduction at our airports that is unprecedented. Flights to places like new york city will continue to be slashed. American airlines is slashing flights from 271 today to 13. Instead of there being 12 or 15 flights a day from new york to San Francisco, we will see one or two. Over in oakland airport, a virtual ghost town, one skycap said this was the slowest day so far. We went from hundred 20 260 two one or two. The coronavirus is really taken a toll on everything right now. It is really serious. A couple weeks ago airlines were offering historically low fares, some as low as 20 across the country to many destinations just to get some kind of revenue. Given this new supply and demand situation, prices could possibly skyrocket, up to and including flight rationing to essential personnel if the faa approves it. So a vaccine is critical to the industry if it ever wants to get back to some normal because until then, fear will rule. This will leave people permanently more hesitant to be in crowds because if its not this virus, it may be another virus. Thats a question no one really knows the answer to. To make to keep some planes and crews flying, one answer is to carry cargo in their cargo holds, leaving much needed Space Available for what has premuch become an Internet Consumer economy. A much nicer day today than yesterday. Today was mostly sunny and temperatures were 10 to 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. Rain is down in Southern California and that is where it stays. It will linger down there a little bit. Ive put the motion on this bad boy. You can see it looping around down there, with showers wrapping around los angeles to the sammartino mountains and back around again. Today we see a little bit of buildup, but the real story right now is Southern California. They are well above average for rainfall. Some cities are over 100 of average as theyve had quite the rainier for them and they are getting it continuously now. Temperatures outside have dropped a little bit. Still warmer than last night by a good 10 degrees at this hour. 67 in fairfield, 66 and concord. The san bruno mountains, you will see fog coming up over that in the next 24 hours. So the coastal fog returns. We had valley fog last night, you probably noticed that. Tomorrow that is how it looks in the morning. Partly cloudy, again in the afternoon with coastal fog. Then cloudy on thursday morning and then kind of partly cloudy to partly sunny all day thursday so its kind of on and off. Friday you get more clouds in the morning and then it clears off again. So kind of more of the same. Temperatures will gradually warm a little bit, just by virtue of the time of year and the sunshine angle. Forecast highs tomorrow, 67 in fairfield, coastal and valley fog both making a play for tomorrow and probably again thursday and friday morning. For the five day forecast, it looks like it will warm up nicely on the weekend. With that onshore flow returning it will feel a lot more like spring. As ive said over and over, because i get allergies, i think about it a lot, the tree pollen will go, theyve been pent up, and as of tomorrow, and the next day they will really start to go. So if you are sniffling and sneezing and you see a lot of buds on that tree, thats a really good chance that that is what it is. So its a good chance its that. We will see you tonight at 10 and 11 and take a look at when we will have another chance for rain. A photographer is using her talents to document this moment in history.

Millions of dollars lost daily, empty seats to no end, no Television Revenue and for their big deal, the playoffs in particular, a lot of pressure on the powers to be. But commissioner adam silver at least from the outside resenting a calm demeanor. It doesnt look like we will see nba basketball of any sort in the near future. The fact is that sitting here today, i know less in a way that i did then. I think in some ways as i listen to the Public Health experts and the people on their advising us. The virus is potentially moving faster than we thought at that point and therefore it may peak earlier. Honestly it is just too early given whats happening right now to be able to predict where we will be. Wow, that is really something.

But at the end of the day i will let the ball play hide and go from there. Still looking for a job. Meantime it hasnt even been a month since all the games went by the wayside, but it sure seems like ages since weve had number of different live sporting events. The good old days, joe fonzi helps us remember with this day in sports, april 7. The Golden State Warrior team that was finishing the season 10 years ago won only 26 games. One of those wins was very significant with a rookie by the name of steph curry on the roster and a whole lot of other forgettable players, they beat that Minnesota Timberwolves and made nelson the most winningest coach in nba history. He got two more that year and remains the nba alltime leader. There were two baseball no hitters on this day, one in 1979 and one by detroits jack morris in 1984. And it was on this day in 1956 that the philadelphia warriors beat the fort wayne pistons for the nba championship, the second of an eventual sex in the nba franchise. Thats the stay in sports, april 7, im joe fonzi. Always good stuff, joe fonzi they are.
