City leaders are on the same page with the plan. Were already talking to our Downtown Association<\/a> and some of our local merchants about how we might be able to make that happen here in downtown pleasanton. This kind of open air main street is a similar concept to what other bay area cities, like berkeley and san jose, are already moving towards. And then for the First Time Since<\/a> early march we have gone in the entire bay area without a covid19 death for two straight days. Lets see if we can make it three. Health officials in the nine county area recorded no deaths on sunday or monday, and thats the first time that happened since march 10th through the 12th. The region only had one double digit death day in the last two weeks, however, sunday the bay area did report the largest oneday spike in cases, 196, since early this month. As the entire bay area is ready to enter the stage two later this week, the governor says the rest of the state is speeding ahead, and he is expected to give 53 of the states 58 counties to move on through, if they want to. Then he gave encouraging news after that. Our economy will open up again if we hold these trend lines in the next number of weeks and that includes, for example, getting a hair cut, pro sports in that first week or so of june. Did you hear that . Hair cuts. We will have much more on the sports part of this coming up, including reaction from giants ceo, larry baer, in just a few minutes. President trump says he has been taking a controversial drug which he thinks can prevent coronavirus, despite evidence to the contrary. Jobina fortson at the live desk with details on that. Jobina. Thank you, reggie. Good morning. A drug called hydroxychloroquine is used to treat malaria, and many of you have heard of it by now and President Trump<\/a> says he has been using it for the past week and a half as a form of preventative treatment for the coronavirus, and the fda warned against using hydroxychloroquine to treat covid19 outside of clinical hospitals and trials, because it could cause heart problems. This morning on gma, dr. Jennifer ashton says she would not recommend the drug for the coronavirus. A new study published in the journal of medical Drug Association<\/a> warned against it and another study showed it did not fight the virus. The white house doctor says he discussed pros and cons with the president and both made the decision that the potential pros outweigh the cons. I will send it back to you, reggie. Thank you. We are not done with the president yet because joe biden in his latest video from home had words for him. Stop tweeting about it. Get the money out to main street now. Its there. Its been passed. This pandemic is hitting everybody hard. We need serious competent leadership now more than ever and frankly we need moral leadership more than ever as well.

As we move south towards milpitas, you see light to moderate showers as this lone cell continues to meander very slowly to our south and east. A little drizzle along the peninsula right now. We are moving into south San Francisco<\/a>, even into sfo, light drizzle. About 6 51 a. M. , we will see a light shower in pacifica, and then at 7 20, san mateo, you can find a light sprinkle.

First thing in the morning, the best chance of finding the shower as we showed you on live doppler 7 is in the east bay. As we advance the clock in the afternoon, that threat will shift towards the north bay. We are talking about the hills of the north bay, and well find the best chance of the isolated shower. Temperatures by the afternoon, a little warmer than we were today in the mid60s to mid70s, but, again, most of us will remain dry, however in our hills later on this afternoon, guys, we have a chance of an isolated shower popping up.

Good morning, reggie. Yeah, we are certainly moving in the right direction. A very exciting announcement from Governor Newsom<\/a> that pro sports could be back in california as early as the first week in june, which will be in just a couple weeks. It could still be time until we see the return of the seasons. There will be no live audiences in the stands, but before they can take the field they have to get back in shape and practicing. Nfl Training Facilities<\/a> are starting to reopen today in some plor coaches and the nba did the same thing last friday and the mlb could soon follow suit. Governor newsom said we should learn more about the safety protocols that would be necessary to be put in place for pro sports to resume sometime next week. And it will be interesting to see how new technology can play a role in this. Espn reporting this morning the nfl is making up a face or shield that could help players from spreading the virus while on the field. This is all in the early stages of development. Reporting live this morning, Julian Glover<\/a>, abc 7 news. Now, a abc7 news live desk update. I am looking at an increble help boost small businesses. Magic johnson said his company is pledging 100 million in loans to mostly minority and womenowned businesses, which had been struggling to get assistance from the governments ppe program. We need to make sure these businesses can stay open. We dont want any minority firm in america to close because of this virus and because they could not get a loan. Also, too, we want the businesses to grow, too. Magics Life Insurance<\/a> company says there will be a vetting process to make sure the loans go to the correct small businesses. Can you look at that full interview with Magic Johnson<\/a>s longtime friend you see there, robin roberts, coming up right after abc7 mornings on gma.

Lets take a live look at the New York Stock Exchange<\/a>, and yesterday we started the day off very strong, and today we are back down again a little more than 200 points.

I am done with everybody. Okay, this is salt cafe in england sharing this funny video on the Facebook Page<\/a> along with a message. It says training for reopening. Stayalert.
