Global leader in public health, at the recommendations at the much more the national leader. Task force just made. I think theres a lot of damage thats right. That has been done already but given the states dubious during covid, and, you know, i think we are scrambling to record of making technology changes, the edd is facing a figure out who to believe.

The backlog has been growing by on the likelihood and how 10,000 applications every day. So over the weekend, the edd common airborne transmission is, we know the world health announced it will not accept organization recognized the new applications for two weeks threat posed by aerosols back in july. What does the research in an overall sense suggest about can to it can install a new system transmitted through those to speed up the process. Aerosols, and is the evidence our report, which we have conclusive . So the evidence is really from early on in covid days provided when there was transmission seen in restaurants with poor ventilation, where people were sitting further than six feet away, and they got infected. Nevertheless, none of these people were wearing masks, and then there is clear evidence in the United States where there have been transmissions in, you know, when people were shouting and screaming, particularly around choir practices, so i think those kind of evidence really led us to leave and this is supported by biology, but singing, shouting, and screaming you know make these droplets have super powers, which can make them travel further than they would normally go which is three feet sometimes up to 20 feet.

She was a tiny, frail looking woman with a soft voice, but we know she had a strong will of stone, and iron, and she served for decades as a living mon you document justice. A group of female new york city leaders came together today to honor Supreme CourtJustice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Ginsburg grew up in brooklyn, and today several elected officials, including the bronx District Attorney and a new York City Council woman spoke of the values that ginsburg fought for and the need to continue her legacy. All of us proudly stand on her very broad shoulders she may have been short in stature, but she was a giant in life she was someone who recognized from her jewish faith that god was using her as a tool and an instrument to help his people. The women also shared how ginsburg influenced their lives and their careers in office, and they praised her for her life of groundbreaking service that including among other things advocating for womens rights as well as gender equality. Joining us to talk more about the push to fill ginsburgs seat is a professor at princeton. The death of Justice Ginsburg has now completely shifted this president ial campaign to this new fiercely partisan battle. Its a difficult issue. Because ive heard these words tossed around by depths, understandably, like legacy, think about press sent, think about whether youre being hypocritical, fairness. None of those things add up to institutional power and republicans in the senate are the ones with that power right now, and so it really is up to Mitch Mcconnell to see if he can get enough votes to get this through, and, you know, it is a risk waiting until after because then there are fewer days to push a very lengthy process into a short period, and it seems that republicans are acknowledging theres a real risk of them losing. But either way, republicans have all the cards right now, heather. Democrats dont have a lot of options. So President Trump, as we reported, has narrowed his list of potential nominees to five people, and he has vowed to announce his pick by the end of the week. What do you make of those who are on his short list . Well, im paying very close attention to Barbara Lagoa of miami, florida, former florida Supreme Court judge. President trump himself has said shes cuban american, shes from florida, we love florida. So clearly she very excited about the political calculuses there, and exciting his base of supporter there is. And of course Amy Coney Barrett who was ona short list and would have had kavanaughs seat, and might have an easier time getting through, quite frankly, but she is really the one thats been vetted already. Shes a known quantity. Shes been on the circuit of Appeals Court longer than lugoa, and she has a long record of scholarship. Sort of more of a known entity. But either of these people, i have to say, theyre very qualified. If one of them is chosen, i thinkit will be difficult former cow ski and collins to put up a fight. Think they might restructures course on this is go along. Well, well have to skate see what happens. The president is expected to announce his pick sometime by the end of the week. Dr. Lauren wright, always a pleasure. Thank you. Thanks. Outside our doors this afternoon, temperatures a little bit cooler, at least for most, and were going to continue this trend as we say goodbye to summer 2020, and hello to the first day of fall tomorrow. Here is a look at Storm Tracker two. Were watching a system move through the pacific northwest, and there will be a second one to follow. So this is going to keep a ridge of High Pressure over the west, kind of in check for the next few days. That begins to change as we get closer to the weekend, though. Here is a look at the futurecast model. Im going to send you all the way out to the weekend, and well talk about what we can expect for tomorrow. Here is a look at tuesday into wednesday. Notice by wednesday and thursday, the possibility of a little light rain over northern california. Were not likely to see any of that, but it will continue our onshore breeze. That will continue to bring us some good air quality. Were not going to see much of any rain here in the bay area over the next few days, but notice what happens as we get closer to the weekend. That ridge begins to strengthen and that storm track begins to move farther north, into the coming days, well call for seasonal temperatures through about thursday. We begin to warm up on friday. And the weekend looks hot, especially inland, and perhaps for some of our bay side communities. Air quality is expected to be light to moderate tomorrow, maybe even a little better than today. 88 right now in brentwood. 86 in livermore. 88 over santa rosa. Very comfortable around the bay bay. Upper 60s in San Francisco. And right around belmont, where we are reporting that fire burning there, temperatures are in the 70s. And relative humidity is anywhere from 50 to 60 . So for this time of year, that is not bad at all. Temperatures tomorrow morning in the low 50s to low 60s. Is a beautiful start to the day with partly cloudy skies. A little bit of patchy fog. Afternoon highs right about average. 83 expected for santa rosa. 74 in oakland. 77 for san jose. A better look around for you there. We have 72 over areas of hayward and in the north bay, 83 fanta rosa. Temperatures coming down slightly for the first day of fall. Holding steady wednesday and thursday. We begin a warmup on friday, and by the weekend, mid80s to low 90s, lowtomid up to perhaps upper 90s for our inland cities. Back to you. Rosemary, thank you. All right, the niners win yesterday came at a very big price. The rash of serious injuries hitting the team very hard. Coming up, joe fonzi will break down the list of who is hurt and why many are blaming the turf at that stadium there in new jersey. And coming up tonight at 5 00 here on ktvu, well show you the dog that is providing comfort to crews coming off the front lines of the california wildfire. And a new warning about all of the bad air quality and the longterm Health Effects that we could see in children in years to come. The raiders open their new 2 billion stadium tonight in las vegas. Unfortunately, though, for the fans, to one lake howed inside to see the silver and black play in person or to check out the new digs there in vegas. As for the 49ers, the training room and the mri machine both very busy places today. Injuries to some key players just kept piling up during yesterdays win in new york. Joe fonzi joining us live with more on who is spout for how long. Joe . Yeah, alex, teams usually dont have long faces after a win on an nfl sunday, but thats how the 49ers felt after their win over the jests yesterday, and it was all just the 49ers second offensive series, Jimmy Garoppolo the jet garoppolo injured his ankle. He was able to hobble his first 49ers took a 213 lead. He did not play in the second half. On the jets next offensive series, last seasons defensive rookie of the year werent down, nick bosa had his knee crumpled in the pile. He had to be carted off the field, and then solomon thomas also suffered a knee injury and had to be taken off the field, also, in a cart. Not last but also in the injury mix was running back raheem mostert. He was headed to the locker room before the first half was over with a knee injury. He didnt play in the second half. Today came the injury updates. Garoppolo has a high ankle sprain. He has not been ruled out of next sundays game. And here is more cursed luck. The mri truck hat was supposed to be in West Virginia where the 49ers are staying brokdelay bosa, but we did that he has suffered an ccl tear and is out for the season. They are awaiting official word on thomas whose knee injury isnt believed to be as severe. Mostert has a knee sprain, and same with running back kevin coleman. And the 49ers will be back on that same met stadium turf on sunday to play the new york giants, and that turf is being blamed in part for injuries to both teams. Players describe the turf as sticky, putting extra strain on tendons, muscles, and ligaments. Were looking at everything this week, but youre talking about stuff gripping and stuff too much, i would think the only thing you could do is take off cleats, which isnt fun either. Hopefully well getting some from the nfl that makes us feel better about that, but know our players and equipment guys will be looking at Everything Possible to help us with that turf. And if you want to throw in one more wrench over the weekend, the 49ers team plane was delayed some six hours on the bay area end, which meant they got to their hotel in the middle of the morning on what would be saturday morning. They were scheduled to arrive there friday night. So it was a very rough time. And its not over, because the 49ers, as i said, staying in West Virginia prior to next sundays game, back in that same stadium, against the new york giants. Yeah, nice to get that first win, but a lot of tough losses for the niners this weekend. Heavy price was paid, thats for sure. No doubt about it. Im not trusting the mail at all. I do like the idea of mail in voting. Coming up, experts say how a person chooses to vote cab signal just whom they may be voting for. As the countdown to the president ial election continues, more and more people are choosing to vote early this year than they did in 2016. Many because of the pandemic. These voter trends could provide some insight who into who people may be voting for. We have more on the race now for the white house. I feel strongly about this election and could not wait to cast my vote another minute. Reporter all across the country, ballots are pouring in. According to a new Associated Press pole, of those eligible to vote, 54 say theyll do it before election day. That number up from 2016s election, where 42 voted early, but how people will cast their ballot is up for debate. I am going to the poll this year. Im not trusting the mail at all. I do like the idea of mail in voting. Whether early voters cast their ballots by mail or in person may come down to their political beliefs. The a. P. Poll finds 57 of those voting for President Trump will do so in person, with 53 of biden supporters saying theyll choose an absentee ballot. Were not taking an chances that the attacks to undermine the Postal Service or to discourage voters have an impact. We want to get our votes on the line. With more people voting early, long lines can be expected. Took me four and a half hours to get through the voting. But with the onset of covid 19, the centers for Disease Control and prevention is weighing in, recommending mail in ballots to help reduce the risk of crowded places and avoid the spread of coronavirus. One thing that early voters didnt count for the death of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg. Its unknown if the issue could have swayed any part of the votes, but experts expect the issue to be a big part of the election. Jackie ibanez, ktvu fox 2 news. Concord news puts a two week pause on new unemployment claims as they state overhauls their system. Good evening, everyone, im frank somerville. And im julie haener. Well get to that story in a moment, but first breaking news in san mateo county. Thats where a four alarm brush fire is burning in belmont at this hour. Firefighters there on the scene battling flames near Crystal Springs road. This is a live look right now from sky fox. Its a little difficult to see the flames or the smoke, but there are reports several structures being threatened on el hambra avenue. But you can see that it looks like firefighters have made quick work of this fire, specifically because we can barely see any smoke there, just a little bit in the middle of the screen. There are evacuations underway right now in the area of schwan canyon from
