Speaker pelosi said smaller groups will be. Looking at virtual and in person meetings as they craft the next cares act. Lauren blanchard, fox news. For more on the unemployment numbers lets bring in James Mcbride to weigh in here. James, i am curious if you look at these numbers and see anything encouraging. The pace of job losses slowing and unemployment claims have fallen. We have to believe there is a limit of the damage thats going to be done. And honestly ive never seen anything like this in the 30 years of being in the investment. In california alone we have 3. 7 million workers out of work which is 20 of our workforce and if you compare that with the Great Depression, that number was 25 and we are in around that none of us have seen before and i dont think anybody could even imagine. Even with this dismal Economic News in the job losses continuing to follow up. It is interesting, i guess, that wall street ended the month of april with one of its best months in decades. S p up 13 . The dow up 13 . Are you surprised we are seeing those gains on wall street. The interesting thing is the market was up by more than 10 following a decline of more than 10 . Thats only the fifth time it happened were a 10 decline was followed by a 10 plus rise in the market. The difference being is unemployment is a lagging indicator. Its like looking in the rearview mirror. The stock market is a leading indicator. They want to look down the road and the market seems to be encouraged that this will and in going off with a lot of positive news about potential treatments and vaccines. Dr. Fosse came back and said there may be a vaccine by january. There is encouraging news and slowly but surely the state started lifting restrictions on Economic Activity letting people back to work. As you know Consumer Spending is 70 of our gdp. It has absolutely collapsed. We see the market sort of rebound and you might see the markets rebound before you see a true economic recovery in terms of people getting back to work. Thats a long way off. As we wrap up here, james, congress has passed two Coronavirus Relief bills. How much more in the way of stimulus funds will we need to see from the federal government here . One thing that is encouraging is Congress Gets it. The president gets it. Our government is all in to provide liquidity. Its not an economic crisis as a liquidity crisis. If you think of the economy as an engine and everyone knows the economic engine needs oil. I dont think theres any question that more bills will follow in the economy will get through this very, very tough. The encouraging thing, unlike the depression we referred to earlier, is the end is in sight. And we will get through this in a short period of time. The discussion has shifted from shutting things down to not talking about the idea of reopening but certainly some light at the end of the title. Financial advisor James Mcbride. We appreciate you for coming in. Thank you. More than 1 million americans tested positive for the coronavirus, the outbreak is not contained. Ths not stopping governors to relax social distancing guidelines. Experts are warning of a big uptick in cases. A new Clinical Study is giving doctors new hope. The drug rundown is here is proving effective fighting the worst symptoms. I was ready to die.

Using Uv Technology to grow the coronavirus. The potential advantages and disadvantages to using this technology to keep people healthy. Los angeles becomes the first major u. S. City to offer free testing to all residents. We will talk with an expert about the impact of opening Testing Centers to the broader population. A bit of sunshine this afternoon and the wind is back as well. We will let you know if this cooler weather pattern continues in your friday forecast. Dad, im scared. Its only human to care for those we love. And also help light their way. Its why last year chevron invested over 10 billion to bring affordable, reliable, ever cleaner energy to america. The mayor of los angeles so soon every resident will be able to get tested for covid 19. Los angeles will be the first major city in america to offer widescale testing with all of its residents with or without symptoms. The mayor is expanding testing. Previously it was limited to those showing symptoms and frontline workers. The testing is free for all but symptomatic people will get priority. The announcement comes as la is seeing a huge increase in covid 19 cases. Lets talk about it now with the former chief medical officer with hhs. Dr. , Los Angeles County just yesterday reported the largest increase. Help us understand why that is happening. It is such an important statistic in the sense that we definitely know that more than 60 of the new cases from yesterday are due to la county, and the residents of those areas. The hope is its because of the increased testing the state as of monday had over 600 thousand tests they had been doing which was an increase in reflected in the ramped up testing that is planned. Certainly as you mentioned the mayor is planning to step that up further and it is important for the viewership to take into context that as we do more testing we will have more cases in the newer cases are not the only important statistic and it is important to see what the other statistics are richer hospitalizations and icu care and ultimately is there is an increase in mortality. The state as a whole saw a drop in tax which is about 78. That was definitely a drop compared to one week ago by 33 . Even though there are new cases its an important lagging indicator to watch. New cases doesnt necessarily correlate with the spike in deaths as you point out. We are wondering how the situation in la county compares to here in the bay area and why and what the factors are that are playing a roll in that difference. Thats an interesting point. The good news for the folks in the bay area, like all of us, both the number of new cases in the number that showed a downward trend which is super in the county had the lowest recorded number of new cases since the recording began. So thats really important. The total number of deaths somewhere in 283 or higher now. Whats interesting is that the bay area certainly is spread out and has been on top of it and perhaps may have some prevalence issues. The study from stanford showcased when they looked at serology testing which is the Antibody Testing they found perhaps early april the prevalence was much higher than indicated maybe 3580 times higher. Could be there some protected immunity and those will be interesting things as we ramp up not only the testing to see if someone is currently infected but also the testing to see infected people have antibodies meaning theyve already been exposed to the virus and if they do have those antibodies do they have enough immunity to stop reinfection. Those are interesting factors that play a roll. Other factors. One of the demographics of the new cases in general, are the folks that are more vulnerable . Have they have been exposed . Are people adhering to all of the guidance that we have all become so familiar with in these last months. A lot of questions and factors as Health Officials across the state look to loosen up on the stayathome restrictions. Dr. , thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Absolutely. Thank you, heather.

Looking forward to that, mark. San francisco supervisors considering new legislation calling for moving up the permanent closure of the jail at the hall of justice. The legislation introduced would direct the Sheriffs Office to close the jail by november 1st. It is currently set to close in july of 2021. The supervisor says the jail population is down because of the covid19 outbreak which justifies moving up the closure date. Critics say shutting down the jail now will increase the population and San Franciscos other jails and jeopardize social distancing. We are not recognizing that the jail itself is a safety hazard.
