The he is linked in shows a background as electrical engineer. High energy guy. He works with him at a net working company. And confirms he has no experience in the medical field. Did he ever have experience with the ventilators. Did you talk about this . No. We didnt. We havent talked about that. 30,000 ventilators. The month of march was tense and chaotic. New york Governor Cuomo scrambled to find ventilators for the coming surge of coronavirus patients. How can we be in the situation people dying because they cant get a ventilator. President trump tweeted. He tweeted back. We can supply ventilators and have someone call me. Urgent. Within days the state of new york had wired him 69 million out of a 86 million contract. New york officials jumped on it and say federal officials told him he was vetted. He shared the by line in the times. A team of volunteers chosen by trumps soninlaw vetted him and and a recommendation went to officials in new york and closed a deal. After he made unus
The north bay. Pretty cool out there. Fortunately, we are looking for changes right in time for the weekend. 50 in berkeley. Hottest day of the year yesterday, fog in the north bay, along the coast. With that west wind today, temperatures are already 4 to 5 degrees cooler. Were still 5 to 10 degrees above average in our east bay valleys. Quarter to half a mile, santa rosa, petaluma. And the fog forecast allows for some of that fog across the bay this morning, then it pulls back by about 11 00. And some of these warmer numbers translating into the 80s will be arriving in our inland east bay. But thats going to be just in the low to mid 80s. How about upper 50s at the shoreline today, liz . Thats good. Thanks, lisa. Happening today, another weekend well be closely watching for crowds in the bay area, especially out at dolores park in San Francisco. Mothers day Holiday Weekend means even more people could want to get out of the house. Late yesterday, police started patroling the park beca
Im liz kreutz. Lets get a quick look at the weather. Here is meteorologist lisa argen. Good morning, lisa. Good morning. Were looking at low clouds and fog here. Santa cruz with a high of mid to upper 60s today. Onshore flow bringing the numbers down all over the bay area, well into the 90s on the peninsula, mid and upper 70s in San Francisco. So, overall, 15 to 20 degrees cooler in parts of our inland valleys and we started that cooldown yesterday along the coast. Theres a look at san jose, 54 in napa, as well as concord, and with the visibility, the fog, it has been reduced threequarters of a mile, santa rosa, peta two miles at the shoreline. Looking at the numbers in the 60s at 9 00 around the bay. Will feel cooler 80s inland but only upper 50s at our beaches. Liz . Sounds good, thank you, lisa. Well be closely watching for crowds in the bay area, especially out at dolores park in San Francisco. Mothers day Holiday Weekend means more people could want to get out of the house. Yester
Fog has expapded from San Francisco and the north bay across the bay locally, but the deck is low and we are looking at this to mix out throughout the later morning hours. A live look from our exploratorium camera, in the low 50s, mid50s in oakland, 52 in pacifica. Emeryville, the sun trying to come out in the east bay, 54 in napa with 60s arriving in the east bay. We have that southwesterly wind that will transport the cooler air. The fog burns back to the shoreline. The colors here indicate that warmer air trying to make its way into our inland valleys. 70s around the bay, 50s at the beaches. Thanks, lisa. We have some breaking news this morning. Rock and roll pioneer Little Richard has died. The musician was at the forefront of rock n rolls creation with frenetic piano and shouted raspy vocals. He was best known for his hits dututtifrutti tuttifrut tuttifrutti. Cause of death is not known. He was 87. This photo was shared on instagram. Rest in peace, richard. This one really stings.
To get medicaid, but often only in certain states. Health policy researcher dr. Aaron carroll. Weve done almost nothing to try to ease the path or to make it easy. In fact, it appears to be incredibly difficult. Reporter whats worse, he said, many states appear to be overwhelmed. It takes a significant infrastructure to do all of the checking and signing people up and checking to see if they qualify for subsidies during all of that. Its not clear that right now in april, a lot of the exchanges, especially at the state base level or federal, i guess, are actually staffed up and prepared to do that. To me its outrageous in a ou reporter senator mark warner and other democrats are proposing a bill to reopen enrollment for the affordable states where it hasnt yet happened so people dont put off getting care. Somebody god forbid who may be coming down with signs of the virus, should not be afraid of going to the doctor because they cant afford to pay. In this circumstance, that kind of relu
