4:17 pm
heavier weight, some motor homes they not have to meet all the same safety standards as passenger cars and are not generally crash tested. >> they can be expensive to buy. a travel trailer is more avordable. but you'll need a tow vehicle, but you may already own one. >> reporter: larger fifth reel trailers will require a heavy duty pickup to tow. smaller trailers like lightweight travel trailers can be towed by most suvs or cars with a tow hitch. these trailers are more fuel efficient to haul around, and you can get in one starting around $10,000. which ever style of rv fitting your budget, consumer reports recommending buying one with as ma setsith backup cameras and electronic stability control as you can afford. now, remitting an rv has never been as cheap as many people
4:18 pm
expected it to be, especially not this year, with demand up so high, the rental cost can be high, too. so make sure you check before you make your big plans and ask the boss for days off. also, make sure you clean it up and find out what their policies are for cleaning the rv in between users. larry, dion? >> yeah, i checked into the company i was looking at, it charged $600 a day. much higher than i expected. so no vacation days at least for now. >> canceled. >> totally canceled. a warning is going out to san mateo residents after a mountain lie john sighting. police officers spotted the lion at 5:40 this morning. the cat apparently ran into the brush and disappeared when it saw the officers. a search turned up no sign of the animal. >> got to be careful out there. i love how the experts always say if you run into a mountain lion, make yourself big. what if you're not big?

4:21 pm
90s. a nice little cooldown on wednesday, especially near the bay and the coast. that cooldown will last through thursday, even into friday before it starts to really warm up again. so here's a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. the temperature readings on wednesday, thursday, friday will not be far below average. seasonal rains, wednesday being the coolest day. look at the temperatures bouncing back on saturday, sunday. low 80s around the bayshoreline. mid to upper 60s on the coast. and temperatures moderate again next monday. that's a fairly typica seasonal pattern, larry and dion. no wide variations there in terms of heat spikes, anything like that. just a pleasant week ahead. >> looks good.ex solemn moments

to keep playing, and now they have 13. let's not leave this up to the players, dan, because i don't think the players are not dr. fauci here. >> no, they are not dr. fauci, although they can pitch a fastball a lot faster than dr. fauci can. they're young men, they're athletes. they want to compete. they're probably at an age, you know, early 20s, they're not as concerned, even though they should be, they'll be more gung ho. we can't leave it up to them. it's inevitable. people in close proximity, so it's going to be almost impossib impossible. >> the nfl and college football, i don't know how we'll get through these seasons. >> yeah, i know we have to move on, but there was that player for

vegas. people are going to want that's cape. don't you think? >> they're simply going to want the escape. i want an escape from home sometimes. but what are they going to bet
4:44 pm
on? obviously, they're betting on horse racing. i hadn't thought about that. but with the uncertainty of our major league sport seasons right now, what will they be betting on? i don't know. but yes, everyone wants an escape, for sure. >> are they betting on the next team to come out with a covid-19 outbreak? >> too soon, dan. >> what else are they going to bet on? >> whether the games will be played or not, or whether the season will be completed or not. it's a whole new world of betting. there's a pent up demand for all the gamblers, they'll put their money down on anything. >> that's a bad bet, we just don't know if there will be games two weeks, three weeks from now. >> it's a weird time. vietnam is taking dramatic action after four people, four tested positive for covid-19 in the country's most popular beach city. the government is evacuating
4:45 pm
about 80,000 local tourists from da nang following the positive tests over the weekend. the country's four airlines have usinlaer airafts t ferry out of to self-quarantine and report their health conditions to health agencies and vietnam reimposed a social distancing order in da nang. if we had only four cases in san francisco, london breed would be cartwheeling down the emba embarcade embarcadero. but it shows you the difference in approach, especially in asia, where they have dealt with some of these things before. they take it way more seriously. >> absolutely. masks case in point. asian people in asia have been wearing masks voluntarily for years, as soon as they feel a tickle in the back of their throat. some may say this is drastic measures to ferry all of these
4:46 pm
people out of the country. but when you think about it, when it comes to evacuating people after a natural disaster, that's one thing. but this has had a proven track record of keeping people safe. maybe we can take some pointers from these countries. >> if you respond this quickly, they can prevent a long lasting disaster down the road. finally now, a point of pride for greece has a touch of controversy today. the country's prime minister being criticized for using a military helicopter to celebrate with tom hanks and his wife, rita wilson, after they were granted greek citizenship. he posted this image on instagram. hanks is a greek descendant and owns a home there. the honor was in recognition of raising funds for victims of a deadly wildfire near athens in 2018. the left wing party opposition accused the prime minister of using greece's military
4:47 pm
helicopters like a personal radio taxi. interesting to think. is this frivolous spending, dan? what do you think? i think greece could use some recognition. they've had a number of years of economic hardships. >> they have indeed. and the fire that -- we're all tom hanks' fans here, so i think it's great. but governments spend money on this kind of thing all the time. it just sounds like politics, and making a big deal out of it. it's a nice gesture for someone who has greek heritage and has helped greece in the past. >> haters are everywhere. i mean, people are going to say they don't like bambi, right? if they have a twitter account, they can say whatever they want. they'll find something. >> any way.
4:48 pm
i do motivational speakingld. in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
