think so. >> right. it's funny, i remember at the beginning, you asked us, what do we miss most from pre-pandemic life and we talked about sporting events and concerts and going out to eat. and i have a one-word, actually two-word answer to that now. that is personal contact. that's what i miss most of all. just that physical contact, that hugging, that close talking, that whispering a joke or just that physical contact that used to come between friends, family members. i feel like i've been living in this bubble. that 100% is what i miss most of all. >> it's gotten to the point where the longer it goes, you kind of tend to forget what it was. and when you get back together it may have a strange feeling. that strange feeling did not exist prior to the pandemic. that was normal life. now you really got to think back. even doing this. even doing the news, like being in a studio. it will feel different for sure. as for the u.s. open, i'll mention this because a lot of people are curious about the oakland as. one of the members of their organization tested positive for covid-19. we're waiting this morning to hear results from other members. but they're still in houston i believe. so

to look into once the fire is out. when firefighters got on scene, they tried going inside the building to put out the flames but the fire was moving too quickly so they had to attack it from the outside instead. we heard from the hayward fire captain about the dangerous conditions they had to deal with. >> we had a truck company that was up there getting ready to punch out sky lights and cut a hole. they were called off the roof because the fire was coming out of the roof. >> we don't know the extent of the damage to the building and four businesses inside just yet. the fire department says there will at least be water damage to the businesses because they had to flow a lot of water in to put out the flames. we heard from one of the business owners who said he's relying on his faith to get him through this. we have a live look at the area. the fire happened near b street and foothill boulevard in hayward. you can kind of take a look at exactly what's going on right now. this is a live look that you're seeing. just some of those fire crews still stationed right outside of the building. can't really tell if they're dumping fire on the building. i think they might be as we zoom in there. it's hard to tell with the gray sky behind them. but of course still a heavy fire presence on scene of this fire. and we will continue monitoring this. check out our ktvu app and social

bars. this is all part of california's four-tier color coding system. most of the area is in purple. that indicates a high risk of infection for covid-19. only san francisco and napa counties are in red. that's a little better. the second tier indicating a bit of a lesser risk. i mentioned at the top of the newscast that the oakland as do remain in houston, texas. a member of the organization did test positive for the coronavirus. that means yesterday's game against the astros was postponed to allow time for more testing and contact tracing. the as at this point have not told us the name of

investment experience, our thousands of financial professionals can help with secure video chat or on the phone. and no-medical-exam life insurance. plan for better days. go to prudential.com or talk to an advisor. leave it to the pandemic to alter another american tradition. that is back-to-school shopping. it's still happening though it looks a lot different. and unfortunately things may cost more. to help us out with all of this, let's go to nationally syndicated tech life columnist and i should say former ktvu reporter, jennifer. welcome back to the show, jen. i don't know what to do here. prices are up. what's the inside scoop to help us out? >> well, you're exactly right. with parents shelling out so much more because they have to buy electronics this year, back-to-school and college spending could hit a record $100 billion. that would break all kinds of records for the priciest new school year at a time when most of us are really trying to save every penny we possibly can as the pandemic stretches on and on and on. so i've been reviewing all kinds of tips and tricks and new ways to help families and one novel new way comes straight from san francisco-based financial tech company, affirm. when you're shopping online, you're going to see this pop up as a way to pay at more than 6,000 retailers. these are the stores you're shopping at anyway like target, wayfair, maybe adidas. you add a few bits of info. maybe your phone number, annual salary. you get a realtime decision right then and there that does not impact your credit score. what i really like about youonee deferred interest. no catch. what i'm finding is it can be a real life saver for cash strapped families who have a budgeted income but maybe need that pricier laptop or desk, that more expensive item, and they don't want to overextend. that's one helpful tech trick right now. >> a lot of people can't find technology. they can't find laptops or chrome books and they want to buy them but they can't find them. how do we get our hands on one? >> there is a laptop shortage right now. there are supply chain issues and trade tariffs adding to months-long delays in meeting the meteoric demand. i say just go chrome at home. chromebooks can offer everything most students, especially k through 8, need for a fraction of the cost. i love one that's in buys in th. it's a chromebook duet. boots up in less than 10 seconds. it's off. then it's just on again. so kids can use it as a tablet or laptop. it's got a detachable keyboard. you can take it anywhere. and there are, maybe best part of all, plenty of these in stock and for sale at best buy in the bay area. >> do you necessarily have to buy a new device or can you buy something that's been refurbished and save some money that way? >> you can absolutely buy something refurbished. i'm going to tell you about that in a second. another great trick right here is if you do get a less expensive chrome book or you have a chrome book at home or laptop, chrome books often don't come with a lot of storage. you need to add on with a zippy little hard drive something like wd's new my passport ssd. this has been out for only a week now. it's a perfect digital locker for homework and other school assignments. it's a great way to add storage for that phonebook or move files between shared devices. this starts at $120 for 500 gigs. this might be the only tech you really need to get and it's completely available right now. >> getting back to not having to buy something new, you don't always have to buy something new, do you? >> no. you can get refurbished laptops or tablets. if you go to the manufacturer's website, dell or lenovo, for example, then you know you're getting the original and even better hardware and software. you also get a much better manufacturer warranty. anything that's five years old or newer is usually a safe bet, especially if it's been refurbished. to deal with all these new text needs right too. >> one more question because i have a million of them but i'm going to settle with how do you know when stuff is in stock? looking for it can be frustrating when you go to the website. how do you know? >> that's one of the biggest frustrations. you spend all this time figuring out exactly what chrome book or laptop to buy. you find it then it's out of stock. so sign up to get first alerts from stores. let's go back to this best buy example. you sign up for the student deals program and you get exclusive offers on tons of back-to-school tech must-haves. then also on best buy, theiran e which products are available at your nearest store. you won't be able to see quantity, how many they have there. if you see it in stock, buy it and run on over there right away and pick it up. but if something is out of stock, you can sign up to get alerted when it's available again. that gives you a head start. you can also sign up for alerts from other services like now in stock or zoo alert. those let you track several products at once. >> jennifer, friend of mornings on 2, technology expert. thanks for being back. good tips there, jennifer. >> thank you, sal. >> if you want more
