First to today in the bays Sharon Katsuda live in concord this morning with details on Governor Newsoms new order. And really this alarming warning that prompted it, sharon. Reporter take a look, here at highway 4, theres still a pretty steady pretty light traffic but it is steady out here. Heading to essential work. We have been sheltering in place. Now this new order affects 40 Million People statewide. During his evening News ConferenceGovernor Newsom shared a sobering statistic if no action is taken Coronavirus Infections he says will likely skyrocket across the state. The virus will impact about 56 of us. Thats a particularly large number. Reporter Governor Newsom estimates 56 would be about 25. 5 Million People over an eightweek period. If people stay at home it will be more manageable. People can go out for groceries, gas or the bank. Those businesses will remain open and law enforcement, health care and telecommunications will continue work to help combat the coronavirus pandemic. You can still go out but maintain six feet distance. You can see the traffic here and people are still thinking about their spring break plans to get away from the bay area shelter in place. Now that there is a lockdown you may want to rethink the plans. Im Sharon Katsuda, today in the bay. Youre right, sharon. Thanks so much. That pressure is growing for everyone just to really heed this warning. Kris sanchez is at home social distancing. A lot of people really arent. Reporter its hard for some folks to feel like they do still have to go to work. In terms of Unemployment Benefits and seeing some of our business finally shuttered down and tesla saying they are going to seize operations and restart. Some people feel they dont have a choice. Other people feel they are going stir crazy and need to get outside. Ourd out. We saw people sharing exercise equipment. Mayor breed is warning against play dates and dinner parties no matter how small because the idea is to reduce your exposure. Im just staying in and walking once a day to get some fresh air. Its frustrating because i dont think people are taking it very seriously. Reporter if we do not keep our social distance, more than half of us could be infected in the next two months. The sickest people end up in the hospital. If they end up there at the same time there will not be enough resources for everyone. You might be getting pressure from friends or family to do your social distancing together. Here is what i would advise. Remind people for every one person who is infected, that person goes on to infect three more people. So in my family of four, if i am sick, i go on to infect the other three people in my family. So we are social distancing with another family or with neighbors or friends, that number becomes exponenti exponential. So do stand your ground. Hopefully this can be over as soon as possible. Its hard going to work because then i go straight home. Weve got to. Thanks so much, kris. 6 06. The state of california has thrown a life line to a struggling peninsula hotel.

Governor newsom hopes the beds wont be necessary if californians follow his orders to stay home. If we change our behaviors, that inventory will come down.

It is going to be cooler to start but, laura, we were talking about the social distancing and people getting outside when they can go for a walk or maybe even going to the park to get some fresh air but take a look at some other places across the country that are also having to do the same with the shelter in place order and look at the difference in temperatures that were seeing now. Look at bismarck, the High Temperature today reaching 26 degrees. Compare that to the bay area, well be in the 60s and then look at miami. Were looking at some mid80s there. For new york its going to be close to 80 degrees today but a strong cold front sweeping through over the weekend will bring it down to the low 50s, even some upper 40s there. So we take the weather into consideration with all of this going on. Well talk about todays temperature trend and some rain that may chase some of us back inside. Mike, how is it looking out there for the commute . Obviously very light as far as the backups go. We have a lot of cars out there and we have a lot fewer than normal.

Todays the last day of the floor trading on the new york stock exchange. Electronic trading will continue, of course. It was going to go that direction anyway.

Im pretty busy these days, my friend. All right. Thanks so much. 6 18. Here is something good trending this morning. One man on the Island Country of cyprus getting resourceful while under quarantine. You see here hes using a drone to walk his dogs through the islands empty streets. He reminds people while staying home is important our Furry Friends need quality time. You look around and even in my neighborhood when i do go for a walk, youre social distancing. Everybody is waving at the neighbor from across the street. Kari and mike, they are at home right now. Im surprised that im surprised that dog is not frightened by the buzzing sound that drones make. Kind of frightening, you would think. My dog would be going nuts. Looking for those opportunities to get out there and enjoy some sunshine. Dont let the drone walk your dog. Can you do it yourself.

Lets talk about whats coming our way for the weekend because we will see another storm system comingalthough there may be lin showers today. We are going to see a pointed it out on the screen so you can see it as it is now coming down from just about 700 miles west of seattle. And then as we go into the next few days well see the storm arriving on sunday and bringing waves of rain going into next week and will also cause the temperatures to drop by the middle of next. And then as we look at the sevenday forecast we see highs in the mid60s today, a mostly sunny sky. There will be a slight chance of some of the rain moving into the south bay, possibly the east bay, going into today and then for tomorrow. Were mostly sunny and 70 degrees and the next storm comes in early on sunday and continues as we go into the rest of the forecast and our temperatures dropping off into the upper 50s for San Francisco we have highs in the low 60s and mostly sunny skies today. And once again a cooler forecast so our opportunityo dog for a nice, long walk, will be today and tomorrow before well all need our umbrella once again. So the commute is dry. Im guessing a lot less traffic there is, kari. I talked about what you might hear in the background, the garbage trucks. Those folks are doing their job in their neighborhood. You and i are both working at home as we were advised to do to make sure as many of us can stay in as good health as we can. Well look out to the roadways and see what notes there are. We look out to the general maps, green everywhere. Any early road work has pretty much been cleared up without any issue. We are looking to contra costa county. Walnut creek interchange very clear and so is the bay bridge toll plaza. The flow of traffic is very nice. I want to note the changes we talked about for b. A. R. T. Will not take place until next monday and the following weekend. Do keep that in mind. As a smooth drive across the bay, weve seen a few fires north bay and south bay and even in San Francisco.
