At the end of the day, it seems to me the government will have three choices, one to go ahead and charge the president and say you know, these other crimes we think you are guilty of doing and there are at least three different laws at stake. Two, negotiate some kind of compromise to prevent a court trial, something of lesser charges where the president does admit guilt and take it from there. Larry says the third and most unlikely option is that the Justice Department declines to press charges. So what is the mood like at the white house . Damien is in dc on special assignment.

Legionnaires disease in the north bay yesterday napa county says they found legionella, the bacteria that causes legionnaires at two more sites and the county says the cleanup at those sites is complete. A quick refresher on what has been going on. The Health Department announced the deadly outbreak in downtown napa, a total of 13 people got sick. One of them and man in his 50s died. Two others are still in the hospital. The napa county Health Department traces it back to a cooling tower. Yesterday the Health Department announced they found legionella at two other sites. Decorative pond also at the Embassy Suites and a second cooling teller tower at the hall of justice. Both sites have been cleaned and they will be closely monitored. Want to spend some time talking about what legionella is, how it spreads and why legionnaires disease can be serious. We are joined now by one of our Infectious Disease experts. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. Really appreciate it. Legionnaires is an Infectious Disease but it spreads a little differently. Why is that . This is a very small bacteria. It is actually an intracellular bacteria. Echoes inside cells. It is really tiny and the way that it spreads usually is from aerosol is asian of water like from hot tubs or ponds and it is named after the American Legion convention in philadelphia where a whole bunch of people got it from a hotel and the water supply. What kind of symptoms should we be looking at . It essentially can be very serious. It can call cause a very serious ammonia. Cough, fever. In the beginning, there will be some nausea and vomiting. Unfortunately, one of the people in the outbreak passed away because it really can be very severe. The Health Department said the most serious cases including involve people with Underlying Health conditions. Who is most at risk for this . That is exactly right. It is mostly people who have preexisting lung disease where this can be set up as a severe pneumonia. So comorbidities, lung disease, copd, emphysema and Young Healthy people are unlikely to get sick. It is much older people who are more likely to get sick. So maybe if you get sick, what is next . What is the treatment . Does it take a while to feel better . It is a very simple treatment. So unlike we have been talking about viruses the last two years, the bacteria responds very quickly to antibiotics. You need an antibiotic that goes inside cells. You respond very quickly. You get better really quickly. Anyone who has symptoms, thats my cleanup this water supply. Please get evaluated for a quick antibiotic. All right. So Embassy Suites, hall of justice, they are about a mile apart. Is that typical to find legionella in places that far apart . Actually that is a vegood question you are raising because it isnt spread from human to human. It could be like someone was at the Embassy Suites and spread it to a human and then they got into the water there. It spreads to humans through water. So whether there was some cross contamination, it is very weird. It is strange for it to be that far apart. I cannot imagine it can spread that far. I dont know if there was some contamination in some other way underground. Remember a can spread human to human which is a big deal. We know that things are being done already to keep everyone safe. Should we be worried . These kinds of outbreaks occur very often. Unfortunately and water supplies, we just are so alert to Infectious Diseases right now understandably. We should not be worried. It is very easily contained. You have to clean water supply. It will die. I think it will be contained. It is all about that cleaning. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Still to come, will your kid have to mask up while in the classroom . The answer will depend on your School District. Then damien joins usfrom the then damien joins usfrom the for years, californias nongaming tribes have been left in the dust. Wealthy tribes with big casinos make billions, while small tribes struggle in poverty. Prop 27 is a game changer. 27 taxes and regulates Online Sports betting to fund permanent solution to homelessness. While helping every tribe in california. So whos attacking prop 27 . Wealthy casino tribes who want all the money for themselves support small tribes, address homelessness. Vote yes on 27. Welcome back. All right my fellow parents, new school year and no guidance when it comes to covid. The cdc made several key changes when it comes to schools. The cdc says that masks are not mandatory inside the classroom but they are recommended if covid transmission rates are high. So what do transmission rates look like right now . Here is the map. You can see large majority of the country is in the red high category. That means masks are recommended. Whether or not you need to wear a mask depends on the School District of course. The majority of districts are only recommending masks indoors with some saying they cannot legally enforce the mandate but two School Districts in the south bay will start the year requiring them. Both district superintendents say it just makes sense after a long summer break. We know that staff and students and parents may be traveling, may be out and about. We also havent had regular testing for a while. We are monitoring the contagion on a daily basis. Because of that, i felt that it was a transmission into the fall. Keep monitoring and keep wearing masks. They have had conversations with parents who oppose the mandate but they also say there hasnt been too much resistance. Lets take you out to washington dc. Taking a live look out there at the us capitol building. Democrats are celebrating a win with the passage of the inflation recovery act. Damien has spent the past few days in dc as well. Instead to talk about the west wing. So what was it like . Damien, today you were outside but yesterday you actually got to go inside the west wing. I have never been before. What was that like .
