Scientists say weve seen a big drop in Carbon Dioxide emissions around the world not just the bay area. Marianne favro talked with a stanford professor with leading research. Reporter youve likely noticed over the past few weeks the skies seem more clear, the air more fresh. Now theres proof. The latest and most detailed study yet on the pandemics impact on climate pollution is showing a major drop in groan house emissions. The research was done by the Global Carbon project, chaired by Stanford University environmental scientist professor rob jackson. We estimate that global Carbon Dioxide emission dropped 1 6, 17 in early april. For the united states, our decrease was almost a third, 32 decrease in emissions. Reporter professor jackson says overall the earth will see up to a 7 decrease in Carbon Dioxide this year. Weve never seen drops like that ever, even going back to, you know, world war ii. Reporter locally, with thousands of cars off the roads in the bay area for weeks, the the emissions levels have plummeted. With the level of reduction in traffic that weve seen, this translates to roughly a 20 reduction in co2 emissions in the bay area. Reporter as more people head back to work, the question now is will it last . It depends on how many of these changes become part of the new normal.

That was one of the questions researchers hope to answer in a sweeping 25city study on how covid19 spreads. The cdc is launching that study this summer, and San Francisco is one of those cities. Jessica aguirre is working from home. She joins us with what theyre looking for, jessica. Janelle, what researchers are looking for is blood. They need volunteers willing to give that blood. They want 1,000 samples a month in those 25 cities nationwide. Were talking about 300,000 samples. Thats a lot. Vital lab, a nationwide blood Collection Organization will be selecting the volunteers and collecting the donations. Theyre going to look at how long the antibodies that protect you after infection stay in the body. Is it 12 months . Is it 18 months . Is it indefinitely . Dr. John torrez also says the information was invite toll see how the virus spreads. Michelle also going to help them understand the Community Spread of coronavirus because up to 50 of people dont have symptoms. So, its hard to tell how many people actually have it. By doing these samplings, what theyre going to determine is how many people in certain areas and regions across the nation have coronavirus. So, understanding is really key. So, theyre going to be looking for volunteers in 25 cities. San Francisco Bay area is one of the first of the six regions that are going to be conducting this study. And they say they just want regular people. They dont want people that are immunocompromised or maybe tend to be sick. And they dont want superfitnesslevel people that are healthy. They just want regular people. Right in the middle to see so they can get those blood samples and use that as what their normal alt wisic person. The study is supposed to be starting in the summer. We dont have information on how to volunteer, but as soon as we do, well pass it along. Fascinating to see how all the studies are happening.

Stay well and keep it golden. President trump raised eyebrow when is he tweeted bay area agencies are getting funds. It turns out this is old news. The money is part of the c. A. R. E. S. Act. B. A.

Jessica joins us on this takeout tuesday. Raj and janelle, laura and her family have five restaurants. They have three in danville all within a block of each other and then they have another two in the city in the heart of the financial district. So, while the family is dealing with trying to get those people in the east bay to take out takeout from the restaurants, they have a completely different dilemma in the city because the problem is there is no one to take out. Its a ghost town right there in the financial district, and it may stay like that for weeks, maybe even months. Our Business Model was get people in and out quickly. They only have a short amount of time for their lunch break. And now were completely having to do it online. Our customers in our financial District Stores are all home. So, all of the Neighborhood Restaurants are doing great. They have a lot more customers around them all of the time now. And the financial district is just a ghost town. What would you like to say to mayor london breed about whats happening to you and other, you know, businesses like you that rely on those employees being in the financial district . I just hope that us being financial district are still being considered. I know people staying home and not going to work was one of the first measures that were taken when this entire thing started. So, i believe it will be one of the last things to go back to what we call normal. And so, you know, were going to need were going to need help. You know, with rent especially. We know that the safety and the health of ourselves and our staff and our customers is number one priority, so we completely understand, you know, everything that is being mandated right now.

So, we are going to get that hotter weather in here. Well talk more about that in a few minutes. I want to start off with storm ranger, our mobile Doppler Radar and after wild and whacky weather, we are starting to see things dry out. We didnt see much in the way of showers at all. Doppler radar scans around, we are mostly dry right now. The location that has had activity is right over the sierra with spotty snow showers. Look at these totals. Kirkwood with 8 inches over the last few days. Echo summit 5, blue canyon only 2 inches. This is going to change as we have a warm area of High Pressure moving in. This is helping to push any kind of rain chances recently dealt with off to the east so its about the warming weather. Now tomorrow tomorrow i think well hold on to cloud cover for the south bay peninsula trivalley. Do notice over to the north, San Francisco and north bay, youll have best chance of sunshine to start. Coldest in the north bay at 49. Now i have raised temperatures anywhere from 3 to 6 degrees tomorrow as that warm area of High Pressure builds in. This will leave us with 74 in gilroy, 75 east san jose, and 72 in cupertino. East bay, plenty of upper 70s, inland, 78 in concord, the breeze will keep temperatures down to 69 in oakland, peninsula, 60s and 70s from dally city down to palo alto. 68 in the mission. Thats the warmest. Winds out of the west at 19. And north bay, also 70s. Mill valley, napa, and insanity row sew going up to 75 degrees. Look at that heat building by sunday, monday, and tuesday low to mid 70s return and we are dry the next seven days. And right here across the inland valleys go from 78 tomorrow up to 80 on friday, by saturday 84, sunday 88 and by me poirl day 92 degrees. Lets give you a quicker look here at memorial day and youll see well be close to recordsetting heat in concord with 94 degrees. So, definitely good weather to get outside and enjoy if you havent already, next monday, memorial day with your small gathers you have with your immediate family at home.

Heres joe rosato jr. Reporter in the time of covid19 theres comfort in a good meal. On chef chris bleidorns togo menu at San Franciscos birdsong, duck. Before covid19, birdsong wasnt a Fried Chicken restaurant at all. I never saw myself doing takeout, especially in this restaurant at all. Didnt even cross my mind once. Reporter but birdsong is among michelin star restaurants who out of economic necessity and duty are serving takeout meals. Chefs who might have scoffed at the idea of packing their food in autogo box are paring down menus and raising creativity. For a price point its going to be a lot cheaper for somebody to come up and pick one of the dishes rather than a commitment for the whole evening. The accessibility is welcoming some patrons to restaurants they might not have visited before and inspiring some chefs to turn to chicken to save their bacon. Joe rosato, jr. Tonight a winner is crowned on the voice. Itll be five finalists instead of four.
