>> that's what i'm here for. that's your little levity for today i guess. >> yes. >> thank you for embracing it. i appreciate that. all right. should we talk about weather? okay. we'll get back to kumeggie in just a second with the news of the day. first talk to you about what is going on with the winds. there are none. seven miles per hour at sfo and 5 at fairfield. the rest of us, it's a still morning out there and a nice-looking one. a little hazy, but not because of pollution. it is the cleanest air we had in decades and 66 from sutro tower. the way the day breaks down. the hottest day except for the coast. the coast you had your hottest day yesterday because you had a sea breeze in the 60s while the rest of us hit the mid 60s in san francisco and then you can see 86 to 93 by 4:00 and still 74 to 81 at 7:00. so, make sure you have plenty of water when you go out and do

those friday afternoon activities. let's get over to reggie with news of the day. >> thank you, mike. california is entering stage two of reopening today. it is only affecting a certain amount of counties here in the bay area. let's take a look. napa, sonoma, santa cruz and solano will follow the governor's orders or at least orders that are pretty close to it by reopening many more stores today. abc7 news reporter amy hollyfield is live in downtown napa with what it looks like there. hi, amy. >> napa and sonoma you can get curbside service, pickup. the owner of this boutique says that's not enough. she needs people to come in here and browse. she is really struggling. she needs people to get in here and shop. but napa and sonoma at least are complying with the state's new order. most of the bay area isn't even doing that. under the new orders, some retail businesses like stores that sell toys, books and

clothing can partially reopen. curbside service only. calamity jane's owners says she is trying to meet all the new restricks and opened an online store and is determined not to go out of business but she is worried. >> i'm tough. i'm going to tell you i will be here, but realistically, if we don't see some easement on the restrictions and someone helping us bring people back into the community in a safe way, we're going to struggle because the reality of a lot of our businesses here are tourist based. sgl >> yeah, the tourists will not come here to the wine country yesterday. no wineries or tasting rooms can open. the order doesn't allow gyms or nail salons to open either. this store front, though, shows. she has a good sign here on her

front door and on the inside is a nervous owner. she said she hasn't received any federal funding. she need help. she needs her customers back. reporting live in napa, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> thank you. and most of the bay area is pumping the brakes on those sorts of reopenings. alameda, contra costa, santa clara will adhere to stricter rules from county health officials. we have heard from marin and san francisco counties. they will push back phase two to may 18th. mayor london breed tweeted a list of the types of businesses that can start doing curbside pickups on the 18th and they include book stores, florists, music and home furnishings and home goods and cosmetics and beauty supply and musical instrument and supply stores and sewing and needle workshops. now an abc7 news live update. >> i have the results of a new abc news poll that shows most

americans think reopening the country will do more harm than good. so, this is what we're finding here. nearly two-third of people surveyed said opening the u.s. now is not worth it because more lives would be lost. one-third said it would help salvage the economy. the poll also found that many people are skeptical about a covid-19 vaccine. 25% say they would not get vaccinated if a safe and effective vaccine was developed. 75% said they would get vaccinated. more than 500 adults participated in this poll which was conducted over the last five days. >> thank you, jobina. new at 6:00, a word of caution as 44 states have partially reopened their economies. abc news contributor and former white house security adviser tom bossart talked about the red flags that experts are looking for this morning on "gma." >> unfortunately, we're seeing those red flags. about a 2% to 4% daily increase in the rest of the country when you take new york out of the

analysis. and that's bad because that 2% to 4% increase if it's projected out and not contained could end up with really devastating results in the next 72 days. >> mosert says 2% to 4% is happening in rural and suburban communities. he talks more about what could be done to curb the spread coming up at 7:00 on "gma." a surprise announcement from governor newsom he said the first community spread of covid-19 in the state happened at a nail salon. he didn't say which one, but abc7 reporter amanda del castillo shows us how they're improving safety. >> reporter: busy waiting rooms are a thing of the past. the industry at the state of the first's transmission, according to the governor. >> this whole thing started in the state of california, the first community spread in a nail salon. i want to remind you and remind everybody of that. i am very worried about that.

>> reporter: community spread. meaning the virus was contracted locally, not from traveling abroad or by crossing paths with an infected person who did. >> nail salons are certainly a setting where people are sitting in close proximity to each other, they're next to each other and across from each other and then adding physical contact on top of that probably augmentes the risk of transmission. >> reporter: governor newsom mentioned masks, gloves and other safety modifications were already in play at nail salons at the time of the reported transition. dr. ann lu in infected diseases at stanford health care said that could be part of the problem. >> ppe by itself is not magical. it has to be used correctly. >> reporter: she says education is key during and post-pandemic. behind the new safety measures at blossom spa in the south bay. once reopened it's appointment only and customers will wait in their cars. >> we will take their temperature and sanitize their hands and we have facial masks to provide for them if they are not wearing one and we bought

protective shields where when you do your nails, a sneeze guard. >> reporter: santa clara county says it does not have the first case of community transmission. still local salons are proving they are tough as nails. >> this is what i can do for them to provide the health and safety for my customers and for my employees. >> reporter: post-covid that regular mani/pedi will be anything but. amanda del castillo. one way to fight coronavirus, disinfect your employee's entire body. the new technology being put to use at one airport. plus getting back on the court. some nba facilities are reopening today, but not all. what we know about the warrior status. here is a look at some of the hottest neighborhood today from the upper 80s in fremont and redwood city and los gatos and santa rosea and

you're never more than seven minutes away from your accuweather forecast. >> this is abc7 mornings. welcome back. 6:09 on this friday. yes, we made it to friday. temperatures around san francisco from 49 in sunnyside to about 53 in a lot of neighborhoods. so, pretty homogenized there. 49 in santa clara to 61 in pittsburg. here's a look from our exploratorium camera at pier 15, 53 degrees right now. everything is about staying healthy in a different way today. not covid-19, we're still doing that, but the heat out there. stay hydrated and seek shade if you can. mid to upper 90s in the east bay valleys and we've got low 90s in the south bay and our last stop will be the peninsula where temperatures in the mid to upper 80s. let's talk more about the morning commute with jobina. good morning. >> good morning to you, mike.

thank you. goodern morning. happy friday. clear conditions for our essential workers. as we take a live look right now showing you our 880 at the coliseum camera in oakland. i want to let you know that you can expect a slight slow down if you're heading from san leandro to southward on 880 recovering from early morning construction and all lanes opened at 6:00 a.m. and once you make it to san leandro, things will slow and pick back up once you get through hayward. that is it for traffic and i'm happy to report that all for you this morning. i'll send it over to you, kumasi. the nba is allowing some team facilities to reopen today, but only in areas that eased their stay-at-home orders. lakers and clippers not returning. only three teams planning to return today. players will have to stay 12 feet apart and head coaches aren't allowed. also no group workouts. the nba will hold an all-player conference call later today to

go over the details. major league baseball has a play proposal and right now they are pretty optimistic that teams will be able to play at their home stadiums and could get in between 80 to 100 games but many hurdles that need to be cleared. coming up next, the growing concern about your safety as airlines and airports get back into operation. a sequel to the disney family sing along. ♪ ♪ zero to hero zero to hero just like that ♪ >> yes. one of the stars of volume two reveals what to expect and i mean just given this preview, the

abc7 news. >> all news, all morning. new at 6:00, this could be

the future of flying. a booth that could disinfect your body in less than one minute. workers at hong kong international airport are testing the booth right now. it could kill viruses and bacteria on clothing and skin in 40 seconds. no word if or when this would be rolled out to the entire airport. speaking of airports and airlines, it is pretty much the wild west when it comes to regulations. every airline comes up with its own policies and some people say that's a problem, include the airline pilot association criticizing the lack of an industry standard. the head of the pilot's association asked the faa to regulate and enforce coronavirus safety measures and standardize things like masks and how to social distance. the faa replied airlines are responsible for the occupational health of their workforce. well, the next time you're out for a social distance walk, you may notice that the bay area is getting a little bit brighter. the rainbow hunt is taking over.

san francisco-based brex is showing off rainbow drawings. >> so, we wanted to, you know, put something out there that other people are kind of already participating in and create a sense of community in a time where a lot of us are feeling pretty disconnected. >> that's cool. the first round of billboards went up wednesday and now they want to see your design. you can post it to social media using the #rainbowhunt. that's nice. >> that is a cute idea. i actually got my own little rainbow hunt in the neighborhood. and people have been really creative. >> that's cool. >> hey, did you take some pictures and maybe post it for us? >> i have. obviously not looking at my social media, mike nicco. >> at least not those posts. i have been looking -- >> hey, you were a very popular one yesterday, i'll tell you that.

>> oh, my goodness. yes, we'll have to relive that some other time. right now we'll focus on the weather and let's take a look at what is going on in san joe and 56 degrees under a mostly clear sky. mostly sunny today, but, again, a moderate heat risk. moderate around parts of the bay and especially inland and that all goes away this weekend and hopefully a better chance of rain monday and tuesday than what i'm seeing right now. let's talk about the upper 80s to low 90s and 86 in sunnyvale and as comfortable as it gets in the south bay. most comfortable on the peninsula 78. look at the upper 60s along the coast with the sea breeze kicking in this afternoon. that's why you'll feel so much milder than the rest of us. more comfortable for sure. 74 in at least downtown san francisco. and up in the north bay, mid 80s to low 90s and napa 91 and santa rosa 92 and east bay shore most comfortable in richmond and 84 today in oakland and there's just no comfort to be found in our east bay valleys.

mid to upper 90s. now, here's a look at the fog forecast. start at 3:00 this afternoon and watch as we head through the evening hours. marine layer and clouds developing along the coast and you can see them pushing inland as we head overnight. that is the beginning of the cooling trend. for tonight, still feel the same as this morning a lot of low to mid 50s out there and tomorrow afternoon about 10 to 15 degrees cooler in some areas. but until then make sure you have plenty of water today and seek shade if you're outside and always feels a good ten degrees cooler in the shade than being out in the direct sunlight. so, for mother's day weekend, 60s and 70s mainly for mom's day as the morning clouds linger even longer. some showers possible monday and tuesday and the chance of those are looking a little less than yesterday. and we'll talk about that one on the storm impact scale coming up next. have a good weekend. back to you guys. >> thanks, mike. now, we'll check in with ginger zee with a look at what is coming up on "gma" today. hey, ginger.

single month and the worst job figures since record keeping began in 1948. nearly all of the job growth in the 11 years since the great recession has disappeared in one month. but the numbers are slightly lower than what economists predicted, kumasi. i was just reading a little bit further about this. it seems like in the best-case scenario they believe the recovery could be by the end of the year. worst-case scenario by 2024. i'll send it over to you. as the new jobless report comes out, we are learning that mill valley based glassdoor is laying off 34% of its workforce because of the coronavirus. that is about 300 workers according to business insider. the company is also cutting executive pay in order to deal with this crisis. happening today, california is innerentering stage two and shelter-in-place restrictions are lifted but only a few bay area counties are going along with it. follow the governor's orders or

close to it in reopening and san francisco, san mateo and santa clara will adhere to stricter rules put out by their health officials. marin and san francisco are pushing back phase two openings to may 18th. governor newsom says it will bring significant changes. manufacturing will see closed break rooms, outdoor break areas and physically distanced seating. delivery drivers will carry sanitation materials when they're out and use personal protective equipment for every stop. >> we're moving forward, but we're doing it always with an eye being led by the data, by the science, by public health and these public health indices. >> a glimpse of what could be opening later in stage two includes offices, seating at restaurants, shopping malls and outdoor museums. the governor said the next set of guidelines will be released on tuesday. in solano county some

businesses will reopen today. the county public health officer gave the okay for low-risk businesses for clothing retail stores and pet grooming, florists, offices and parks. one of the big changes in solano will be that you are allowed inside. you're supposed to maintain social distancing. not everyone is convinced that is the right move. >> imagine you are going into the store, there's lots of people. hardly any air circulating and think of the people that you are going to get infected. >> killing people. >> you think definitely start going out a little more? >> she's not going to let me. but if i could, i would. >> restaurants are not allowed to have in-house dining yet. the owner of ashby flowers who we talked to yesterday she said she was going to reopen in berkeley today. well, it turns out she's not going to be doing that after all. marcie simon hoped to reopen in time for mother's day. she even taped off social distancing marks on the sidewalk, but alameda county's decision to continue to ban

curbside sales derailed simon's plans. >> i'm teuiu iu'm terbly disapp not having the ability to reach out to retailers like all of us florists to give us the correct information. >> simon is hoping for enough orders so that she can deliver them for mother's day. the dmv is going to reopen select field offices across the state this morning. 25 offices will be reopened, including five in the bay area. abc7 news reporter julian glover is live with what you need to know as you head out there. hi, julian. >> hey, good morning, reggie. after being closed for 43 days the dmv offices five of them in the bay area are reopening. if you're coming to one, you need a face mask and be ready for long lines. the reason why right over my shoulder. you can see a number of people already here waiting in line. some of them finding a chair and others bringing their own. but we do want to give you the run down of the five offices

that will be opening here across the bay area. the one here in san jose on senter road and offices in concord and the oakland claremont location and open 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 most days. most things you come to for license and vehicle registration that is still being done online and reinstating a suspended license and getting a disability parking placard and those things will be done in person by appointment starting today. also limited walk-up services. now, reminder the deadline to get that real i.d. that's been pushed back to october 2021. you have some more time now. you also have to keep your distance at the location. they tell us they're taking the necessary precautions when things open up to keep people safe. back here live this morning, you see the line is continuing to form here. we are learning that they'll be using a new feature so you won't have to wait inside. you can wait in your car and they'll text you when it's time to get service. the message is don't come to one

of their offices if you absolutely do not have to. they don't want things to get overcrowded as they begin to reopen. beginning live in san jose, julian glover, abc7 news. the number of coronavirus cases keeps rising. johns hopkins university reports 1.2 million cases here in the u.s. the white house has confirmed the first case of coronavirus in the west wing. involves one of president trump's personal valets who brings the president his lunch and diet cokes. >> i had very little personal contact with this gentleman. know who he is, good person. >> both president trump and vice president pence say that they will get tested for coronavirus daily now. although the white house support to reopening the economy, there's no official guideline at the federal level for how to do that safely. the trump administration rejected a cdc road map that gives advice to states. one senior official called it unnecessary and duplicativdupli.

all right. contra costa county is now the first in the bay area to offer testing for coronavirus regardless of symptoms. being offered at eight locations. increased testing will allow the county to ease shelter-in-place orders. we'll put the number on your screen because you do need to make an appointment and i'm trying to tweet it out right now because this will come and go real quick. 1-844-421-0804. once you call that number, they'll give you the information on where to go. a georgia father and son under arrest this morning. they chased and killed a man in broad daylight. the shooting causing outrage across the country and in just the last 30 minutes, we have new information about the investigation. and right now we're taking a live look. what are we looking at? i thought we were going to look at the big board on the new york

stock exchange. there we go. up 233 points right now. it appears the new jobs report is not impacting the markets this morning. but we're going to be back in a bit breaking down what's happening. and we are live in the north bay as businesses start to reopen, what you can expect if you're venturing out this weekend. first, we'll get a check with mike nicco and the hottest day so far that we experienced. hi, mike. >> hi, reggie, kumasi. hi, everybody. i really like that shot of the ocean and it's the coolest along the coast right now and the peninsula. temperatures in the upper 40s there while on the bay side we have 49 in menlo park and everybody else in the low to mid 50 at belmont and 53 degrees right now. you can see else where mid to upper 40s in the north bay. 70 in los gatos. we talked about that. the higher you go in elevation is in the 60s and 70s. let's talk about the commute weatherwise and we'll get to jobina weatherwise and 53 degrees in emeryville and everything today fine

weatherwise if you have air conditioning this afternoon to keep you cool on the way home for our essential workers. let's talk about what is going on in the east bay. and we're in the 50s through 7:00. look at that. mid 80s for several hours this afternoon and i know a lot of you on the east bay don't have air conditioning, so try to stay in the shade and have that fan handy and drink plenty of fluids. for the north bay, 51 this morning and nearly 40 degrees warmer this afternoon as we hit the upper 80s to low 90s for a couple hours. nice 74 at 7:00 and san francisco our destination low to mid 70s for just an hour or two before that sea breeze starts to trickle in. and drops us down to about 62 degrees as we head towards 7:00. we do have some really refreshing weather for mother's day. coming up sunday and a chance of rain monday and tuesday. an update on that coming up and here's jobina as promised. good morning. >> good morning, mike. definitely know we need that rain. looking forward to it, especially since we're not going anywhere anyways. good morning, everyone. happy friday to you.

i have some pretty good news and traffic for the most part because aside from the various construction projects we have, no major incidents on our roads this morning for our essential workers. we'll take a live look right now and show you the san mateo bridge and the conditions out there. we are continuing to see as more people start to head to back to wok, things pick up. so, it's beginning to fill in as people make their way towards the peninsula, beut not too bad. traffic is moving just fine. an update for you happening today. an additional five miles of streets in oakland will be closed. you can see we're going to bring up a map here shortly but has closed 20 miles of streets to give people more room to safely exercise during the shelter-in-place order. neighbors can drive on the streets to get to and from home. that's it. they are not allowed to host gatherings, everybody. i have taken advantage of this myself and it's a nice program to socially distance yourself and get some

you're never more than seven minutes away from your

accuweather forecast. >> this is abc7 mornings. >> we are at the coolest point in the mornings and if you can open up the house and let all that refreshing air in. check out this beautiful shot from our exploratorium camera where it's 53 degrees right now. the coast is most comfortable and 60s there while the rest of us away from san francisco in the 80s and 90s. let's take a look around the state today. those records we talked about in tahoe, well, we've got a string of them, possibly a tie in 76 today and again tomorrow. look at the upper 90s through the central valley. 106 in palm springs. all right, more on the cooling trend for mother's day weekend coming up. here's reggie. mike, thank you. authorities in georgia have just updated us on that shooting of an unarmed black man. captured on surveillance video and this happened back in february and it gained national attention just this week. jobina fortson is joining us with the latest on this. jobina? >> thank you, reggie.

the director of the georgia bureau of investigation says that his agency got involved in this case on tuesday night. by wednesday night, they began securing arrest warrants. two men were arrested for the shooting of ahmaud arbery. 64-year-old gregory mcmichael and travis mcmichael are facing murder and aggravated assault charges. arbery was shot and killed on february 23rd while he was jogging in a neighborhood near brunswi brunswick, georgia, which is about an hour away from jacksonville, florida. nation a al outreach started on tuesday when cell phone video surfaced. >> i can't answer what another agency did or didn't see. but i can tell you considering the fact that we hit the ground running wednesday morning and within 36 hours we had secured warrants for two individuals for felony murder. i think that speaks volumes for

itself and probable cause cleared our agents pretty quickly. >> authorities say the elder mcmichael, a former cop, told police arbery looked like a person they thought was responsible for recent break ins. today would have been arbery's 26th birthday. supporters are calling for people to run or walk 2.23 mil today to signify the date that arbery was killed. kumasi, over to you. >> thank you for that update. wine country is partially opening today. napa and sonoma is easing up restrictions. one business owner says times will still be tough. amy hollyfield is live in napa with more on this. amy? >> hi, kumasi. yes, stores can offer curbside service. it's a good first step, but some business owners say it doesn't go far enough like the owner of this boutique. calamity jane's. she needs people to go in and pick out what they want.

curbside service doesn't quite work for this shop. the governor's guidelines allow retail businesses that offer curbside service with proper physical distancing protocols to partially reopen. that includes book stores, toy stores and clothing and shoe stores and sporting good stores and florists. the boutique owner we talked to said she's trying hard to make it during these times but says it's tough. >> i am trying to keep my store alive. we reinvented how we're doing business. we've built a new webstore. we're just grasping at straws trying to stay here. we haven't received any federal funding. just trying to swim. >> napa, of course, entered the 2014 earthquake, but the pandemic is far more devastating because they could rebuild after the quake. the pandemic is still going on and tourists likely won't be coming back to wine country any

time soon. you see this positive sign here in her front door. she's trying to stay positive. behind this door is a nervous business owner who says she's determined to stay open, not sure if she's going to be able to, but she'll try as hard as she can. reporting in napa, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. >> amy, thank you so much. now your morning money report with millions of people out of work, the question on so many minds. what do you do now? it's interesting. ibm has a possible answer to that question. the executive chair of the company is proposing new collar jobs. these are well-paying in-demand jobs and you don't need a four-year degree to get one. but you do need training. ibm is offering it for free. >> whether you were upper retail and you could learn these skills and have a really good job in companies like ours. it's something that we learned, it really isn't about the hard skill of can i do coding or do i

know a certain kind of way to fight cyber, it is much more about some of the soft skills. >> ibm along with 600 major companies are preparing workers for these so-called new collar jobs. the program is offering online training in technologies like artificial intelligence, cloud computing and cybersecurity. now we'll take a live look at the new york stock exchange as trading gets under way. so why are we up more than 300 points? well, first of all, investors were braced for this coming. this was not a surprise. second, analysts say there was a call yesterday between the u.s. and china that reassured investors a new trade deal between the countries is moving ahead as planned and as we always say, the economy is not the stock market. the economy is not the stock market. the economy is not the stock market. kumasi. >> all right. dozens of hureareroic bay a

doctors and nurses have agreed to go to covid hot spots around the country. including one cardiologist. dr. ethan spoke with abc7 about his experience and what made his experience so different from new york? >> gigantic and dramatic difference. in san francisco so few people died hardly anyone knows someone who did. here in new york, everyone knows someone who died. we have these incredibly sick and dying patients and their families are locked out and they can't come in and to protect them and everybody else. but what it means is that no one is actually seeing this. no one is seeing the devastation. >> it's really crazy. you think about almost 20,000 people in new york have died. dr. weiss is returning to the bay area tomorrow and he plans to isolate at a local hotel before he gets to see his family. and speaking of families. here at abc7 we are honoring the class of 2020.

internsh internships, not internships but interviews lined up and they went away. he's anxious and ready to get on with his life, but holding on right now. so, thanks, gui thanks, guys. can't wait to see him. we haven't seen him in months and hopefully see him very soon and very proud of him. loss of words. let's take a look at what's going on weatherwise. about 56 in san jose. you can see the sunshine there and our hottest day this week. so another moderate risk of heat illness. please be careful outside and drink water outside before yu're thirsty and seek shade when you can. the marine layer returns and culminates with our coolest day tuesday and best chance of wet weather which is not looking as good as it was. 86 in sunnyvale and 93 in gilroy. we've got 78 in millbrae and everybody else in the mid to upper 80s and another roaster on the peninsula. at least on the bay side. now on the coast side, we'll be in the upper 60s with a sea breeze kicking in late this
