3:16 pm
61 clear at 10, but around the bay going to be seeing that fog redeveloping here. it will get into those inland valleys, probably a few hours before sunrise. 84 right now in antioch, check it out. 81 also livermore 79 or somebody else. 79 conquered. 72 hayward, 78 fremont up in the north. lot of 70's and 60's too. san francisco, 59 and 54 half moon bay. not a surprise when you get much from a mercury movement there with all the fog and the fog clouds. here's how you can plan things for tonight. the fog creeping 63 for the bay. 75 inland at midnight, the witching hour bay area fog. we've got cool conditions inland that that point and then it spills in those inland valleys. again, maybe not as aggressive as this morning, but temperatures this tomorrow morning will be in the lower 50's that that even well inland. so we've got fog rolling back in the forecast for the bay cool and breezy hate of the plane taking off and then for this week we've got morning bay area fog, sunny and warm. you know, high temperatures getting to about 80 ish well inland. we're hanging in the 70's, the most part around the
3:17 pm
bay. then this weekend, again, it looks like a dry low. it's a friend of ours coming this summer season break the back of those heat spikes by july and august. but this thing may be a little bit more problematic content of trying to clear out some of that fog. but that's just the addendum. we're going to get more to that coming up in a bit. justine. >> thank you. the rising cost of living has made home ownership out of reach for many educators. but there's a new bill that was introduced by congressman eric swalwell that aims to change that it would start a new grant program for teachers to buy their first house. so joining us now is united states representative eric swalwell. congressman, thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news just in how you doing. i'm great. how are you? thank you so much for being more so we can talk about this. you're trying to make housing more affordable for teachers. sounds like a great idea. overall. this is so they can have a down payment for their first house. i'm wondering how big of a problem this is especially in the bay area and what attracted you to want to use try to kick off this legislation. >> our to our teachers are spending too much too much
3:18 pm
time in their commutes and not enough time. i thinking about, you know, their own families and our kids and their classroom. and so we want them to be able to live where they teach. so this creates a grant program where teachers can receive up to $25,000. if they are able to commit to teaching 6 years so 3 years into teaching, they are eligible to use in our communities and then they have to teach at least another 3 years. so it's just addressing affordability and the crisis that, you know, we're all going through in the bear. >> so this would do for a first-time home buyer. how would they get the money from the school district? how would the money actually get to the actual teacher? >> yes, so we we think that, you know, the communities know their needs. the best of this program would allow a state and local governments, you know, to compete if they can stand up a program and that can help teacher. so school
3:19 pm
districts primarily, you know, they're the ones who know the needs on the front but of course, other, you know, state and local agencies could also compete in. and when you have a decent schools attract a higher and employers who pay higher wages. and that pace for more services like public safety in your community. so it's all connected, you know, to the center of our community, which is our schools. and they have to. >> by this home in the community that they teach there be some sort of radius that would show exactly how close they would need to be to the school that they work out. >> this is a local higher program. yes, so that our teachers are teaching are living in teaching in the same our community. look, ideally, we you know, we can expand this out, you know, for firefighters and police officers because, you know, these folks are really the most critical individuals in our community, but they're commuting hours that not only affects their ability to a
3:20 pm
great teachers, but it's just it's it's not right because they are so important to you know, who we are and what we need to and was there an example that you used to help creating this? is there? >> it sounds like there's not one for first responders or police or law enforcement or maybe for nurses like how did you get the idea for this? >> you know, if i was a city council member in dublin and i'm aware of, you know, local communities having, you know, kind of one-off programs where they're trying to, you know, attract, you know, more folks, particularly in law enforcement, you know, to live near their communities. but i want to have standard, you know, ideally across california. but of course, a cross the country. and so it really goes back to just my days and local government, but also charlie jones, a teacher in hayward civics teacher heat did an instagram live with me last week he described, you know how long his commute is and how far out of reach it seems for him to live in the community where he teaches and
3:21 pm
that's causing a lot of his commute. and it's just again, the quality of life from the stress that we don't want to put on the shoulders of the people who are educating our kids. >> so this grants for up to $25,000. where does this now stand in the process of actually becoming a reality? >> well, i would like, you know, republicans to take me up on sponsoring this because, you know, their kids and their communities are just as effective. i'd love for to be a bipartisan bill. you know, if not, you know, we'll certainly look at the next congress. you know, if it is the democratic led congress to get past. but that should really be bipartisan. you know, it parents don't really give a rip about politics. they just want the best education for the teachers. and that starts with having quality teachers in our community who can live in our communities. congressman eric swalwell, thanks for joining us. what also shaken little he'll how you do because it's new. >> you know, we're going vote to reauthorize the faa bill for 5 years. and sfo do we need it there with one of the runways closed. so, you know,
3:22 pm
that's going to be a bipartisan that will happen in the next couple days. well, maybe you can come back and chat with us about that, >> happy to thanks, justin. thank you for joining us. we'll see you soon. >> still ahead here on kron, 4 news at 3 layoffs at indeed, which employees will be impacted. an airline junk fee is at the center of a new lawsuit has now been filed by some major carriers against some major carriers against ow network is no network for business.

3:33 pm
very end of the summer and it's likely going to for me. love the new vaccine in the fall. >> so what is it about flirt? it does. is it more contagious? are the symptoms different? then other different variances no taste, no smell. fever was the deal. >> so the deal is transmissibility is probably going to be more transmissible because it's rising up the charts. this quickly in terms severity of disease, probably going to be the same. not more severe. so the symptoms are going to be very similar. member flared is probably been around for much longer than we're detecting it because it always takes a a couple of weeks we detected because it takes a time to do sequencing. but its already been here. so cough, a sore throat, muscle fatigue, and for some people
3:34 pm
struggling breath off the week, but very similar symptoms. and then that big press that was us is that the vaccines work. and right now, that's not much difference of it, too. between some mutations, some footage and one which was the other variants that 2 mutations we think in the spike protein. so it's very, similar. i'm not say different like the volcker is in the golden state so this. >> flirt variants is not going to cause any more severe illness than any other strain so far. >> yeah, it's probably going to be very similar doesn't mean that everybody is going out of a mild you know, we're still seeing covid in the hospital, believe it or not, just not that just the lowest point in the pandemic. but common theme of everyone that i've seen last with serious diseases that they didn't get a single vaccine in the last year. so i think that's kind of low hanging fruit, particularly if you are older and immune compromised. and
3:35 pm
how is the vaccine that most people got? what was our updated vaccine booster upon booster? that was like in december. >> is that holding up against this? are people just becoming more immune? and that's why more people are getting sick. >> what will happen by the summer's that immunity will drop people in general. so for majority of people, that means they'll just cut something new. you probably would want watch like you to the weather destinations that you're going to take precautions. but for some people who didn't get a in the last year. that will immunity. what have below the threshold so they may get very sick and go to the hospital. but you can get a rescue. it really therapy like paxlovid. so it's important to get diagnosed, particularly you or your loved one older or immunocompromised. i was going to ask of paxlovid work on this. it sounds like it. well. >> just sort of a side here. we're talking about illnesses.
3:36 pm
we seem to see a lot of people recently who have this kind of summer cold and people are a little confused as far as like, well, it's summer. it's not winter. why do i have this cold? are you seeing that? a lot more in the hospital? it and is that flirt? and they just don't know what or is this just a symptom that's going around as have been just hanging out more and more with people. >> that's a great question and a scene right now. i think it's mainly the cool that people are it might be floored because it's still a low level of covid around. but as the summer approaches, we 5, 4, consecutive summers of covid and small bumps not to like the winter. so probability of those symptoms which will look identical to covid may end up being more likely to be covid as we approach summer, which is right now. i think it's mainly the cold as a little bit of flu, but not that much. >> so not. where are you think we're going to see like a summer surge or just like a summer little spike. a bomb? how would you describe it?
3:37 pm
>> i'll call it a let's all we've let or swell, bou know, like when the beach and you see the we've just swell, but not like crashing on the rocks. that's kind of what we'll see the summer. >> well, we hope we commission a wash your hands, stay safe. doctor. peter chin, hong from ucsf, thank you so much for joining us. stay healthy. interesting by thank you. and that's the message from the alameda county fire department this week. the agency officially declared the start of fire season and crowd for super joined a crew in the east bay who is now preparing for the busy months to come. >> anything you guys has to miss more seal one of several property owners, the alameda county fire department paid a visit in livermore tuesday >> like my big pond way from edge of you that is because not that county firefighters and neighboring fire agencies
