A violent chain of events, indeed. Thank you. Now to the latest on the coronavirus and californias deadliest day of this outbreak, 95 people died yesterday and now sadly the number of people who have died from the virus in our state is over 1000. And there are now more than 28,000 confirmed cases across california. Now today during his daily briefing, gov. Newsom urged californians to continue social distancing practices and to comply with stayathome orders. He also said he is forming an Advisory Group to help with the States Economic recovery. This will include former governors pete wilson, greg davis, arnolds was not there, and jerry brown. It will be cochaired by philanthropist and former president ial candidate tom stier. We will bring together californians from the public and private sectors and from communities across our state. We will develop a plan that works for all californians with a particular focus on those hardest hit by the pandemic. Let me say, we will have brought together some of the best minds as gavin said, in the state, to develop a recovery plan. The Advisory Panel will be composed of more than 70 members, including former fed chair janet yellen. Disney chairman bob eicher, and apple ceo tim cook. As the bay area looks for the day when more businesses reopen, several counties are now asking people to wear Face Coverings while out in public. So far, alameda, contra costa, marin, San Francisco and Sonoma County are issuing this requirement, and the enforcement does not start until next wednesday to get people time to get ready. Dr. Matt willis, who just recovered from covid19, said masks can reduce the spread of the virus. This order will require facial coverings for public settings, we are coming into contact with people within 6 feet who we dont live with, particularly indoors. Children under the age of six are exempt, we dont need to wear it when we are alone indoors, with those that we live with, or out by ourselves on a walk. This is what it looks like at a safeway in petaluma this morning. The city of fremont has already ordered people to wear a Face Covering while visiting an essential business such as the grocery store. Those federal guidelines put out by President Trump just yesterday about leaving states to reopen their economies, well, it is finding both fans and critics today. As Caroline Shively tells us, some governors to say it gives them the autonomy that they want while others say it leaves out the money that they need. Reporter a day after rolling out federal guidelines that give the states responsibility to reopen the nation, President Trump took to twitter to rip into some democratic governors who have criticized his handling of the coronavirus. That includes minnesotas governor, who had protesters at the capital friday, calling for an end to what they call a state lockdown. Mr. Trump also went after michigans governor, even though she says she is considering relaxing some of the states stayathome measures come may 1. It is two weeks away, and the information and the data and our ability to test is changing so rapidly, it is hard to tell you precisely where we will be in a week much less two weeks. In mecca the Democratic Senators are criticizing the president. Is there any funding so i can do these things that you want us to do . No. That is passing the buck without passing the box. Reporter but iowas republican governor says the administration recognizes that each state has different economic and medical needs. The plan that we are already discussing for iowa really does align very well with what the president s plan is so theres a lot of similarities that we all have been looking at as we talk about targeting and responsibly reopening our state. Reporter the federal plan does not list days or for a partial reopen. Others are looking at me first, others at june. Without testing, most governors will not commit to a specific timeline. For more on reopening the country, and particularly the struggle of reopening large venues, we are joined now by lieut. Cowell. It is real good to get you on here and get your perspective, so if we do have states where we are starting to see that downward trajectory of coronavirus cases over the course of a couple of weeks, doesnt make sense to you to start to reopen restaurants, movie theaters, music venues, even larger stadiums . There will be some opening, and it is going to happen. There are states, for example, Southern Nevada with las vegas, pretty much the entire economy is completely shut down. You get states like hawaii, theyre kind of a unique situation, i was a nobody will drive across the border into hawaii. But they also are shut down, so they need to reopen. With that, it is the same thing you keep hearing from the white house, you have to have, you know, universal testing, we have to find out who has antibodies, we have to find out if they have the active virus. Contact tracing needs to be improved tremendously. That is another thing that they will be looking at. Can we quickly identify who they were in contact with and isolate them . All of this is about controlling, containing the spread of the virus and if we can get a handle on that, if we can manage that, with the additional social distancing roles, we can get to a new normal. It wont look the same as it was, and we dont have a vaccine, so that is, that will be the new normal until a vaccine is developed. So once we begin to reopen, some of these businesses, some of these venues, that are larger in terms of their size, what, what are some of the practices, what im asking is what are the rules, how will it feel different when you show up at one of these businesses in the future . If you are looking at a sports venue, for example, you probably going to see some of the things that we saw, before they shut down churches, you saw a lot of times with a marked out certain seats. You are basically looking for that 3 to 6 feet, trying to build some distance between where everybody sits and somebody else. You also going to probably see universal wearing of masks, that will be a little challenging at times because a lot of times when you go to a big venue or sports event, it is not uncommon to get something to eat, to drink, how that will be managed, especially distant areas, that will be a question but you cannot see pakistans like we are used to seeing. You will see, you may see people in the stands but it will be much more spread out. In fact, most big events will be more of an online for suspicion been participation thing. Let me ask you about this notion of false start here. I wondered how concerned you are about this idea that we reopen the economy, but then all of a sudden we see a big surge in cases, and then you kind of have to shut things down once again. Is that a real concern for you . That is a big concern. I have been talking to a number of my clients and we have been talking about, you know, the reopening and planning for the reopening, and one of the things we look at is the false start which is the big fear that we open, and there certainly a huge resurgence, a cluster outbreak, and not only does that force us back into closing, doing exactly what we did before, but now, you truly have shaken public confidence. It is not just come you know, we have a problem or we are managing it, the question they will have is do we really know what we are doing . Because to open it and have another outbreak, that kind of brings and questions in peoples mind, is it really safe . And then the next time you open, people might be reticent to really take advantage of it because they are saying should i or shouldnt i because the last time they did this. It is probably just as big as the actual outbreak itself. Rebuilding that trust is certainly not going to be easy. That is a great point. Thank you for your insight. Coming up, paying tribute to healthcare workers, the growing trend that is keeping of those were bravely on the front lines.

Officials are reinforcing the message that there will be no public celebration of marijuana coming up on 420. Christien kafton is live for us this afternoon in the city where the pandemic has forced the cancellation and also force the annual pot party to make some changes. Reporter looks like the party will have to be on hold in San Francisco this year, but interesting Industry Leaders are hoping to move the party online. In years past, for 20 has done thousands of cannabis fans to hippie hill in Golden Gate Park. This year the city is warning that in light of the Public Health directives, a public for 20 celebration is officially canceled. Stay home for 420, dont come to San Francisco, we are not welcoming any large gatherings of any nature, not just during 420, but any other time. Reporter police say fencing will surround hippie hill and officers will be on scene, ready to site and arrest, if necessary. You will see officers in the parks, streets closed, you will see us out with the area fenced off and we want to remind people, please, do not engage in for 20 festivities. I have the tappan one time to say reporter e 40 takes to twitter, sing public celebrations, make no sense this year. Lets stay in the house, man. We love for 20 but lets not get out there and all that. City is their top priority, they are urging users to create Real Community in the Virtual World to celebrate this year. We are not giving up on 420 but we are suggesting that people do for 20 in place and have a nice time at home. We are highly encouraging people to stay home, order online for pickup or preorder and delivery. Reporter police say they will be working with rec and parks and the city to make sure that they dont just pick up and try to move that party somewhere else. They say this year the stakes are simply too high, so that people get high with each other. Live in San Francisco, christien kafton, ktvu fox 2 fox 2 news. Lets talk about whether here in the bay area, and rosemary, you know, at my house, the son did not make an appearance today, are we going to get some more sunshine coming up for the weekend . We are going to kind to remain in this pattern, alex. No sunshine outside my door this afternoon, a lot of gray skies and that is exactly what we saw around the bay area for the most part, even a little bit of drizzle this morning and a few sprinkles not out of the question. Giving you a look at what is going on in and around the bay area. You can see gray skies, San Francisco right now 57 degrees, santa rosa upper 50s, oakland, livermore, below 60s in san jose and the warmer spots, 66 at this time. Here is a look at how much cooler we are this afternoon. We are notably cooler in concord, down by 10 degrees. In the north bay, down by seven and along the, looks like right along the coast line, Half Moon Bay a smidge warmer than yesterday. The cloud cover will continue to pour in. The system moving over Southern California, and we are on the Northern Edge. If we get in a little bit closer you can see if you scattered showers, the possibility over areas of the north bay, the Richmond San Raphael berridge, and stretching over to the east bay, if you light sprinkles in and around richmond and hercules and all of our small communities there. Into the sierra we go, a little bit of a rain and snow mix over areas along highway 50 and i 80, right around twin bridges. No advisory for travel but always a good idea to carry them just in case. Snow levels are expected to remain high enough, not to impact those passes but here is a look at the system that is bringing us the unsettled weather, not only for today but into the weekend, we get another shot, here is a look at the future cast for you tomorrow morning, perhaps a bit of drizzle out there and as we get into the afternoon we break away to partly cloudy conditions but Cool Conditions for this time of year. Temperatures into the overnight hours, 46 for santa rosa, 51 in San Francisco and for your afternoon we go low 60s from San Francisco to upper 60s in fremont, to about 70 degrees the afternoon high over areas of antioch. Temptress will remain cool tomorrow, especially along the coast and around the bay. I have a look at the extended forecast coming up in just of it. First responders in south bay return to several hospitals this morning to show their support for healthcare workers. It is a heartwarming scene, allie has more now on on this growing trend of showing appreciation for those were on the front lines. Reporter a celebratory and to the night shift and uplifting start to the day for workers coming and going from Oconnor Hospital in san jose this morning. The Sheriffs Officers park their vehicles along the front entrance, turned on the flashing lights, and create a little core door for them to walk through as they were showered with applause. Boost up their spirits, give them a little bit of energy to get through today, these are heroes that dont get to the limelight. I feel special, i feel very special. Reporter this custodial worker told us at first she was alarmed to see the flashing lights but once her coworkers filter in on what was going on she was overwhelmed. We do it from our hearts. You know, i work here for almost 30 years. So we have been going through a lot but this is very nice from you guys. Thank you, we appreciate it. Reporter also this morning, Santa Clara County firefighters lined up their vehicles, they gave a heartfelt applause for the doctors, nurses, therapists and Staff Members there. You can see people coming in with tears of appreciation, just knowing that the whole world, what they are doing, that is important. We are not taking about what we do. Until somebody thanks you.

People who are immune a compromise have a higher chance of hospitalization and landing the icu. She is a weldon advocate for diabetes education. Thank you so much for being here this afternoon. Research so shows people are particularly vulnerable here. Your diabetic, does that worry you . Yes, definitely. I am a type i diabetic and one of my biggest worries is trying to prevent type ii diabetes from happening with the lockdown because with us being lockdown we not able to go to the gym, not able to do the activities to be preventative. So my main thing lately has been to basically push for, you know, no new cases for type ii diabetes to happen. Type i, we obviously have our routine, we know what to do at this stage. Talk a bit about how that routine has changed, given this outbreak. Well, with this, it is basically, it has been tricky because when youre out in public, its like i would go to a restaurant and i would be able to test myself, or, you know, even go to my insulin pen. I would not do that now, there is the way because of the fact that it is just, you have so much going on around you where it is just like, it is like would you even do that in the restroom at this point . No. Even out in public, even after this is done and over with so it is basically a new normal for diabetics of being even more cautious of what we are doing when we are testing, when we have been exposed to needle out. It is just, it has changed everything for us. Now talk more about your concerns when it comes to potential new cases of type ii diabetes. It is basically, like, it is like whenever youre not taking care of your health, when you are on lockdown, he gets very tricky, you cant go to the gym, you are eating certain foods and it is just the fact, fitness is basically, i am huge on fitness, so fitness for me has been a blessing. It has kept my numbers level, and has been very helpful but when it comes to the type ii, we have to find ways to either be eating cleaner, eating less carbs, you know, basically taking care of our bodies and not just come you know, just eating whatever we want because we are on lockdown. We need to basically find creative ways of doing fitness, if it is taking an Early Morning walk, putting your mask on, doing an Early Morning walk, that is the way to do it. Even if it is 30 minutes because that is the preventative part about this because i just dont want to come out of this and have more type ii diabetics. Exactly, that would obviously compound the situation. For those who have other sort of diseases like i mentioned, what is your advice to people who are in fact compromise . Especially given that we may be heading into a direction of easing some of the restrictions . Well, i know we are easing some of these restrictions, but it is one of those things where we all have to keep our mindset, kind of like a little bit behind just a little bit, because we want to be cautious because when you have, like, Compromise Health or an auto immune disease, you always have to step back and observe everything so it is a moment of observing thanks things. First and going to sit back and watch things and just be on this cautious part of it because we are still not out of this yet. Im not trying to be negative but we are still not out of this even when we do get released from lockdown, it is still a new norm for all of us and we have to be very cautious about what we are doing and still be very preventative and i think everybody needs, when the lockdown comes out, it is just going to be eyeopening about food choices and exercising and things that we need to do to be preventative and keep our bodies lean and mean and clean. Things all of us need to keep in mind as we hopefully near the end of this. Thank you so much for coming on and talking with us. Appreciate it.

Some positive news, though, this afternoon, recoveries have now climbed above 500,000. The pandemic is prompting very different reactions from governments all around the world. As rick tells us, sweden and india have the almost same number of cases but responses to this virus are very different. Reporter as people across the globe undergo lockdowns, india has launched one of its strictest policies worldwide. They lockdown the entire population included millions who are struggling financially and folks say the measures could have unintended consequences for those needing work. This as other countries come under fire for not doing enough to contain the virus. Swedish officials have faced criticism for issuing more relaxed guidelines. I keeping schools, bars, restaurants open. The country has reported more than 1300 deaths from the virus.

There launching a task force as part of a global effort to find a vaccine. In london, greg talcott, fox news. This week, the Sheriffs Office issued a misdemeanor citation, to a church in North Richmond for an unlawful gathering. Authorities say about 40 people gathered for an Easter Sunday service at all Nations Church of god, none of them Wearing Masks or practicing social distancing. Joining us now to talk more about this issue is our legal analyst, michael cardozo. It is very good to have you on here, so already we have several churches in Southern California who have sued the state, basically, over the stay athome orders that band religious gatherings. What do you think of the argument that they are making, that they are being, the congregants at least are being denied their fundamental right to freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom to assemble. I dont think it is a very good argument, alex. We are not, the state is not denying them freedom of religion, it has been denying them the right to congregate and that is much different. With the state has to do is a balancing act. We have Public Safety on one side, we have freedom of religion on the other side. This does not take away the right to worship. It takes away the right to worship in a congregation of 10 or more people. And especially when you hear theyre not Wearing Masks come of they are not staying far enough apart, they are absolutely wrong, when they bring these challenges against the state, theyre going to lose this. Doesnt factor in at all the fact that california is continuing to ban religious gatherings here but there are some other states here in the u. S. That have carved out exemptions. Does that mean anything here in terms of a loss like this . No, it doesnt. Keep in mind that each state is individual. Each state can make their own rules, and this type of situation. We are dealing with covid19. If one things let me draw an analogy. There is a church, it is a fire hazard, and the pastor says, look, we want to congregate in that church, we want to worship in that church and the state comes forward and says no, you cant, it is a fire hazard, people could die there, same thing here. You bring them in, people could die by spreading the virus, not only spreading it to the people in the church, but the people outside when they go back into the community, so again using that analogy, if you have a dangerous situation in a church, and the city, states, they say you cannot congregate in that building, it is not denying them the right to congregate, in general, but in that particular building, it is the same thing here. People should not want to do this. Yeah, and obviously a lot of other businesses are changing the way that they operate. A lot of Churches Holding their Services Online as well. Is there anything to this argument here, again, this is being made by the folks running this lawsuit what they are saying look, Church Services should be deemed as essential services because they are important to the Spiritual Health of the congregants . Do you think if they try to argue that this is an essential service, is that going to get them anywhere . Reporter i dont think it will get them anywhere. Is it an essential service in that regard . No, it is not. Because when you bring that number of people together with a chance of spreading the covid 19, it is taking too much of a chance and it is not just the congregants that go into that church, it is about when they leave that church and go out into the community and the state is not singling out religious gatherings, it is telling us all of us, it is telling everybody, dont do it, so the churches are not being singled out, in this particular instance. And like i say, what they are denying them is the right to come together in large gatherings because it is too dangerous. And when i read about some of the things that people are doing, it is amazing to me the type of things that some are putting out there and it does make me question, is this about money because certainly those preachers could go out into the community and shepherd come attend to those who need it by going into their homes and talking to them there are gathering in smaller groups. That is the way i think they should approach it. So it is sad to see that this type of fight for this disagreement is going on at this time and by the time the courts get around to settling it, hopefully this covid19 is behind us and we had a vaccine because we will still be fighting then and it should not happen. We should be healing by that time. You make a key point that the state is not, it is not shutting churches down, just saying that they cant hold Large Services with large groups of people. We have to leave it there, it is a great conversation to have. Thank you for coming on. Have a great evening. Some teachers who desperately miss their students and would like to see them, well, they went on a social distancing parade today. Teachers and the mascots loaded into the very vehicles and drove through their neighborhoods. The teachers say besides the opportunity to see the students, they also wanted to bring some happiness to them during the stayathome order. It has been tough for all of us, but we do know that they have been working hard, this is what happens when you have a great staff come together for their students and their community, so we are getting through it, and hopefully, today we will be able to bring some joy to our families and students along the parade route. That was one of the goals, teachers say, to bring encouragement to the students who are at home and doing the online Distance Learning during the school closure.

You are right, this becomes marine layer season, it will not go away at least not in the next few days, we will get back to some warmer weather and the extended forecast. More on that in a moment. Outside our doors this afternoon, a mostly cloudy one, even a little bit of drizzle out there to start the day and we cant rule out the possibility of drizzle over parts of the bay area as well, it is the low clouds and the entre flow continues, pulling it back a little bit, you can see mid and high level clouds coming in and the way of the system here and then if you look toward the sierra and look toward the north, you may even pick up on some lightning strikes going on over areas of the Higher Elevations of particular over the north bay and over the sierra where we are seeing a little bit of rain and snow mix, snow levels are high, though, advisory for travel for folks who need to head up over the sierra for the weekend, still may want to carry the chains just in case. We will continue to move east into Southern California and off toward arizona and the next 24 hours or so, bringing pretty good rain to areas like bakersfield, just south of fresno, just on the Northern Edge so we are not really seeing much in the way of wet weather but we have the cooler weather, the cloudy weather, the entre brees is with us as well and there is a look at where it is for some. A sustained wind at 20. Here is a look at what we can expect rolling to the weekend as we get into tomorrow morning, mostly cloudy, if you look over areas like fresno you can see still some moisture hanging on from that system i showed you a moment ago, getting into sunday, and moves out but take a look at what is over the pacific, another system coming our way, could bring us a few scattered showers right now it looks like sunday night into monday, a pretty good possibility but to be honest, the models are not quite distinct on that one. In the meanwhile, outside at this hour, mostly cloudy skies, entre brees and temperatures on the cool side, mid 50s in Half Moon Bay, upper 50s in nevada, nearing 70 a little bit earlier but already falling back to 64 at this time. Here is a look at the overnight lows and for tomorrow morning 46 to start the day in santa rosa, 51 in San Francisco, upper 40s for the inner east bay, areas like concord as well as livermore and the afternoon high. That is very similar to where we are seeing today, low 60s, in and around San Francisco, mid to upper 60s around the bay, for some of the inland cities, upper 60s to about 70s so generally mild with partly sunny skies expected. Not much change for the bay area sunday, and then tuesday into wednesday, back with sunshine and temperatures into the low 70s for some of the warmer locations. Back to you. The famed Golden Gate Park in San Francisco is marking its 150th anniversary.

What has the reception been like for these online concerts and these kind of virtual ways of celebrating the park . It has been extraordinary. This wasnt the celebration we hoped or planned for but, look, i mean, the world has changed and Golden Gate Park still resonates. We had over 60,000 visits to the Golden Gate Park website last weekend. For the last two weekends for concerts and the website has an amazing Concert Series but there is so much more. You can take Virtual Tours of many different places in the parks, we have programs for kids, we have podcast, we have got webcams, videos, all kinds of amazing, historic information, there is a portal on the website for anyone to contribute their own memory or thoughts about Golden Gate Park, and, you know, the park has, it has been there for us and it is there for us now it has been here for us to a variety of both good times and bad, this is not the first pandemic, even. It has supported us through to earthquakes, the aids crisis, and it is here for us once again. Im glad to see that so many people are taking advantage of this. We dont have a whole lot of time left but talk with me about kind of the selection process, for which concerts you are going to post. Was a difficult to choose these performances . Golden gate park has such an amazing history of music, we are very grateful to our partners that put on the concert every year and also, our friends at hardly strictly bluegrass.
