Its spent wisely . Scott mcgrew joins us with the very latest. Scott . Reporter good morning to you. Yes, that is by far the biggest sticking point. Democrats have objected to one of the tranches of that bill which would allow billions of dollars to go into a fund that they say doesnt have the proper oversight, not enough rules to control where it goes. Significantly less oversight for the taxpayer dollars, is their objection, than we saw in the tarp bailout ten years ago. Republicans say democrats are adding in too many other ideas. We have word that the two sides have hammered some of those details out. We could see a vote in the senate as soon as this afternoon. Of course it has to go to the house. It should pass fairly quickly there. Yes, there is that cash payment to americans but at this point was this what the total would be. Wall street loves the idea of a 2 trillion government stimulus. Were seeing some rar u big up that. Interesting twist, the president , on fox news a short time ago, says he wants the country opened by april. That would be 19 days from now. He had also tweeted the same idea, saying workers will practice social distancing once america is open, seniors will be watched over protectively and lovingly, the cure cannot be worse by far than the problem. Now, if the president had his way and somehow we were able to open up america within those 19 days, we might need a smaller stimulus. Now, the 19 days, thats til easter. We just heard from the new york governor who said he thought the peak of their deaths would come 21 days from now. Well see if that will work out. I should point out mr. Trumps own scientists disagree with him. That will be interesting to see. All right, scott, thank you for that. Were certainly following it all, as well as the fallout. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are officially postponed. Todays speculation with olympi officials originally saying they were going to take a month before making a final decision. International Olympic Committee says the olympics and the paralympics will go on no later now than summer of 2021. Nbc sports anchor and prime time olympic host mike derrico says the delay was inevitable. But it raises questions for athletes who were set to compete. This is a once in a lifetime thing for so many athletes. Will they be able to repeat their readiness in 2021 as they were trying to get ready for july of 2020 . Several countries and sports governing bodies had called on the international Olympic Committee to postpone the games in the wake of the pandemic. Its day two of the free covid19 tests in hayward. Nbc bay areas bob redell is live there at Tennyson Park where the city has broadened the criteria of who can be tested. Bob, do we know why they made that big change . Reporter we do, marcus. Its because the city of hayward had a bunch of tests left over from yesterday. They wanted to test as many people as possible. The daily limit is 370. Yesterday they were just under 200 because they had a requirement that you must have a fever of 100 degrees or above. They broadened that criteria and already theyve tested 62 people and theres more waiting in their cars to be tested. Starting today the city of hayward is relaxing their rules as to who can receive the covid19 test. You have to meet one of the criteria, a fever above 100 degrees, shortness of breath or other respiratory symptoms, recent travel to europe or asia, exposure to coronavirus, certain chronic diseases or conditions, being over the age of 65, currently or recently pregnant or being homeless. We just spoke with a nanny who drove all the this morning. Shes showing symptoms and she cant go back to work until she gets a test. I was never that scared before. Im kind of scared, yeah. For everybody. My family. Not just me. Reporter does it feel like the flu . It does feel like the flu, yeah. I could have a regular cold. I have no idea. Ive been coughing all night. My dad has high Blood Pressure and i have two babies. Im just worried about the whole situation here. Im very concerned because testing positive can keep you able to work. If you dont work, you cant pay bills. Reporter these covid19 tests are free and open to the public at Tennyson Park across from the fire station in hayward. You dont need a referral from a physician, you dont have to be a resident of hayward, they wont ask you about immigration status. You will get the results from a lab in menlo park within six to 24 hours. Again, up to 370 tests per day between 9 00 and 6 00 here at Tennyson Park. The spokesman for the Hayward Fire Department did not have the results from yesterday even though those individuals have been notified. Live in hi ward, bob redell, nbc bay area news. Thanks, bob. New at 11 00 for you, were learning that the coronavirus lingered on surfaces of the diamond princess cruise ship for more than two weeks. Last month the ship was quarantined off the coast of japan after a disembarked passenger who traveled on that ship tested positive. According to the cdc, the virus stayed on the cruise ship surfaces up to 17 days after the rooms were vacated but before they were disinfected. Nearly half of the 700 passengers who tested positive were asymptomatic. The cdc says that data cannot be used to determine whether passengers contracted the virus from the contaminated surfaces. Governor gavin newsom is taking a big step to control crowds. Hes ordering the closure of parking lots at major areas and beaches. Tom, were learning this morning a lot will remain open at least until further notice. Reporter including this one, pacifica state beach. We were surprised when we arrived this morning that there were no closure signs up. Before and after sunrise we saw at least a dozen cars arrive with mostly surfers and quite a few more come into the parking lot since then. A parking ranger we talked to said it was one of the beaches that was packed this weekend. So were surprised that pacifica beach is not on the list of closures. People are taking advantage of it, coming with their family or friends, by themselves, fishing or strolling along the water li the city of pacifica did post signs asking people from outside the community to stay home. Some people are being very direct about telling visitors to stay away and others making more diplomatic pleas, saying more restrictive measures arent needed to get people to comply with social distancing. Maybe at this point in time you have to stay home. Enjoy stuff around your house if you need to get out and walk. This really isnt a vacation. If the experts say the best thing to do is to close the lots, then i trust people who are experts in that field and ill stay away as required. Reporter as you could at least one resident upset about people still coming home. That surfer, who is from San Francisco, tells us surfers are inherently socially distant on the water, careful not to infringe on spaces, something thats taboo in the surf world. You can find a list of all of the parking lots that are closed on our website, nbcbayarea. Com. Back live now, you have to wonder if this isnt going to be added to that list now that so many of those other popular attractions are closed. The people here, though, as you heard, hoping that people will stay and exercise in their own community. Were live at pacifica, thom jensen, nbc bay area news. Same thing, exercise at a distance, wave to your neighbors across the street. Be safe, thom, thank you.

Some places got soaked this morning. They did, i know my windshield did just a little bit. You had the wipers on. Meteorologist kari hall is checking the rain for us. How long is this going to stick around for us . If we were in the north bay, that rain would be lasting a little bit longer than just a couple of swipes of the windshield wipers. We have seen most of the rain there. Heres another look at our view in San Francisco with a mostly clousky. Well see throughout the rest of the day more showers rolling through. As we take a look at whats been happening here, a lot of the rain has been in the north bay. As we go into the rest of the afternoon, that moves into the east bay, the south bay, the peninsula. A closer look shows the widespread downpours that have been coming down around san rafael as well as santa rosa and extending over toward northern napa counties. Elsewhere, farther to the south, its just now starting to arrive in San Francisco. And the rest of the bay area is mostly dry. Then going into the day, well see some popup showers that may be chasing more people back inside or those out working have to deal with will you lugging t umbrellas around. This evening, still some rain showers. Not all of us will be seeing the rain at the same time and most of this will be fairly light, continuing into tonight. It may be a little heavier for the south bay as well as the south county. And tomorrow, still some waves of rain coming through. A lot of unsettled weather. I think at this point well take every drop we can get. It was such a dry february, its a nice change to see the rain moving in now. Well have an update on the Sierra Snowpack coming up in the full microclimate forecast. Sounds good, thanks so much. Coming up, its a hard time for many families. A lot of people not getting a paycheck or worried about the next one. Were going to show you the places that are hiring in just 2 1 2 minutes. Elme back to our mi newscast. As more states issue their own shelter at home orders, more businesses admit they may not survive or if they do, they face drastically cutting staff. But there are some that are actually looking for more workers and they need them now. Nbc bay areas kris sanchez has more on whos hiring. Reporter they may not be the jobs youre used to working. But if your goal is to keep those bills paid during this difficult time, then there are companies that are hiring. Its probably no surprise here that our local Grocery Stores and pharmacie are hiring. Cvs alone is adding 50,000 jobs across the country. Some of them are temporary. Some of them are fulltime or parttime. If you already work for cvs, the company says you will be getting bonuses during this difficult time. Safeway, costco, and walmart are hiring. Walmart offering cash bonuses for workers to put in extra hours. Dollar general is hiring, looking for fleet workers and folks to work in their distribution centers.

They are adding 100,000 full and parttime positions and paying their employees 2 more per hour. A lot of you are supporting your local businesses but National Food chains are adding jobs too like dominos and papa johns. The unemployment projections are really difficult to hear. The u. S.

In chatting with people, we know that some of these job losses are already starting to happen to most people are hunkered do at home, even our state lawmakers. This morning we spoke with state senator jerry hill from san mateo who says that even with the State Capitol building shut down, lawmakers are dedicated to protecting the community and stopping the spread of the virus. Ive got a computer, an ipad, a phone, and its going constantly. Were really trying to make sure our residents in those Critical Care facilities can navigate successfully the shelter in place to make sure they get the attention they need, the information they need so they can carry on businesses as much as possible today. State senator hill says that lawmakers are constantly in contact with hospitals to make sure that actually receive more protective equipment. New at 11 00 for you, there settle a big need for blood amid the pandemic. A blood drive is under way in redwood city to try to help with the shortage. The American Red Cross was forced to cancel an estimated 4,000 similar events nationwide due to the outbreak. Lgbtq activists have started an online petition urging a ban on blood donations by members of their community to be lifted for the pandemic. Heretic brewing is planning to start production this week on hand sanitizer, called germ juice. Several distilleries are converting their operations for similar protections. A lot of you have been there, talking on the phone with someone and your dog just wont stop barking. None of us were probably speaking with a former first lady. [ dog barking ] where are you guys [ dog barking ] you hear it there. On the phone is michelle obama, briefly interrupted by the dog. The former first lady says during this uncertain time the pandemic is providing some life lessons. Good exercise in reminding us that we just dont need a lot when times are bad, having each other, having your health, you know, we can do with a lot less. And i think thats an important lesson i want my kids to understand. Tune in to ellen at 4 00 this afternoon with special guest host jennifer aniston, all right here on nbc bay area. Better not do without that umbrella, keep it handy at least this week, kari. Yes, we will need the umbrella for the next couple of days. Well see the showers in and around the bay area going into the rest of today. Right now, those temperatures are in the upper 50s. And its been a little cool for much of the bay area. The good news is that we are getting the showers that we so desperately need. As we go into the rest of the forecast, it will be off and on. Not all of us are seeing the rain at the same time. As we take a look at the radar and the satellite, that storm system is moving through. Its also bringing down someate sierras. I think well see more of that as we go into the rest of today. A closer look at the rain falling in the north bay, we can see the showers all around parts of northern napa, sonoma, as well as marin counties. This is where weve seen the rain throughout the morning. They should be getting some pretty decent rainfall in the bucket there. Looking at some of the showers also approaching the peninsula. If youre in spots like pacifica, half moon bay, youre also going to see some showers coming in here very soon. Then looking at the wide view, i wanted to show you what else is going on out there. More rain across far northern california. That will be approaching into the next 24 hours at least. As we look at our hour by hour forecast, we can see the showers here and there, going into today. But then when we start to see the yellows and the reds, that indicates some heavier rain. I think well see that in the south bay as well as the south county by about 8 00 to 9 00 tonight. If youre at home and you start to hear that rain hitting the roof, thats whats going on. And if you have the nbc bay area app, youll be able to get alerts as that rain approaches your location and you wont be caught offguard as that rain moves in. Going into early tomorrow morning, were still seeing rain in the hour by hour outlook. Then scattered showers continuing into tomorrow as the storm system remains nearby and brings in more waves of energy that could produce some showers. As far as how much rain, this is not a heavy soaker. For most of us its going to bring a tenth, a quarter inch of rain. There may be some spots that will get slightly more rain on top of what weve already measured, especially in the north bay. Thats a live look at northstar. It really is hard to see all of our ski resorts closed. The snow is falling. Were not able to get there and enjoy it. But we are getting some muchneeded snowpack for the sierra. And so right now were about 50 of the way sierra. Then going into the forecast, we will see some more snow coming in, at least a foot of snow for some of our resorts around twin bridges and kirkwood as well as ki ki ki kingvale. For some of us it will be five to seven degrees cooler as we reach into the upper 50s and low 60s. Then the weekend, well have a chance to dry out, especially friday and saturday. There will be a chance we could see more showers coming in by sunday. For San Francisco, mid50s for the afternoon today. A chance of showers still lingering into early thursday.
