6:02 am
lawmakers are set to be close to a deal to fund more small business loans, part of tas the country begins to reopen. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live for us in washington with those details. >> reporter: marcus, good morning. some of those states' governors are saying they are still seeing an increase in covid-19 cases. as for the small business loans lawmakers looks like they have a deal that could land on the president's desk by wednesday. the senate could act as early as today on $250 billion for the paycheck protection program. small business loans. billions more would be set aside to help rirl and minority businesses. >> we think another $300 billion should be sufficient to reach
6:03 am
almost everybody. >> reporter: the stimulus would include -- >> an additional $100 billion in the public health space. $75 billion for hospital support and another $25 billion for testing. >> reporter: president trump announced he'll use the defense production act to force mafg of more testing swabs but insists testing is up to each state. >> testing is a local thing. >> that's just delusional to be making statements like that. >> reporter: parts of the country are already reopening. beaches in florida, marinas in the northeast, farmers markets in seattle. texas and vermont will open some businesses today. others say it's too soon. >> we have increasing numbers every day here in the washington region. >> reporter: michigan's governor is concerned protesters may be putting others at risk. >> without those important protections they might have gone back to these parts of the state
6:04 am
and brought covid-19 along with them. >> reporter: vice president pence has a conference call with the nation's governors today. "the wall street journal" poll that shows just over halfuny, 5 soonorders. just under a third think that maybe it's time to boost the economy and relax them some. the differences seem to be stark according to party, about 40% of republicans are concerned there could be a surge in cases. a few more independents, and 80%, twice as many democrats are concerned if we relax the stay home orders now we could see more people sick. marcus? >> thank you. new for you thisorning one not so small restaurant chain is now returning the loan it received as part of the federal c.a.r.e.s. act.
6:05 am
shake shack received $10 million because technically each shake shack eatery employs less than 500 workers. they say they had no idea the small business fund would dry up so quickly. >> a lot of small businesses just didn't get their money at all. nice to see them give it back. covid-19 may not be as lethal as originally feared. "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live this morning from his home. what are scientists saying, bob? >> reporter: scientists and medical experts believe the numbers of reported infections are grossly underreported. the head of the cdc says a quarter of infected people might be asymptomatic. the vice chairman of the joint chiefs of staff believe that number could be 60% to 70% members of the military. a doctor with the harvard school of public health tells us the reported number of infections can't be trusted because they are based on flawed and
6:06 am
inadequate testing. an antibody study discovered between 1.5% and 3% of all residents in santa clara county have already been infected. that's 50 times the confirmed number. now if this is true many more people disease didn't show symptoms and survive. on the flip side it also means it's impossible to know who is infected which complicates decisions about when we return to work, school and normal life. i want to take to you a live look from marin county, the tounl of bolinas. in just a few hours from now all 1,600 residents are expected to be tested for covid-19 in what will be a first for our country to have an entire community tested. this is a joint project between the town and ucsf. a doctor says it's ideal because it's fairly rural and secluded.
6:07 am
they hope to use the information gathered there. reporting live in the east bay, bob redell, "today in the bay." thank you very much, bob. one san jose couple knows all too well the devastating reality of covid-19. both are now on the road to recovery after they both tested positive for covid-19 and they both ended up in the hospital. separately, though, at separate hospitals. joining us to talk about that experience is jerry sauceda. you're doing well now? >> yes, i'm doing 100%. i've been able to exercise regularly. i have a little bit of the pneumonia -- the phlegm, but it's not bad. i'm able to handle it. >> but it was bad when you
6:08 am
discovered you got covid-19. tell us about it. >> well, march 21st i tested positive. i got the call and i told my wife and not knowing that she had it as well. and two days after that we both entered into icu it got bad really quick. >> you were at separate hospitals, right, jerry? you were in one but your wife was taking care of her mom? >> yes, she was care taking her mother and was in hollister and i was in san jose. we were both in separate hospitals. i was in for nine days and she had entered on the same date i had entered and was in for 23 days. she was worse. >> and that's the conditions, o
6:09 am
the o after nine days the doctor -- her primary doctor called me and told me that there wasn't much of a chance for her to get through this. i had to convince the doctor to give her a couple more days. [ inaudible ] she woke up after two days, shortly after that. she woke up in a couple days. we were just praying continuo continuously. i rallied prayers from my friends, family, and i really want to thank them so much for helping me get through this and also my daughters. >> of course, of course. in fact, i believe we have some video of when she was coming out of the hospital. >> hey, mom.
6:10 am
>> that had to be quite an emotional moment for you. >> it sure was. it was just one of the best days of my life. >> did you ever think you'd go through something like this? you're a singer as well. will you be able to perform again? do you feel you have existing damage? >> i have a little bit of the breathing is a little -- interferes a little bit. i think i'll make a comeback. the other day i was singing a few songs and i felt really good. i feel confident. >> good for you. jerry, thanks for joining us and continued good health to you and your wife cynthia as well. >> thank you very much. i appreciate that. thank you. er the10 for you that morning.
6:11 am
nation's deadliest ever mass shooting. police say a gunman killed 16 people including a police officer. it happened in the province of nova scotia. bodies were found in homes of rural towns and some were even set on fire. authorities say that the gunman is a local dentist. officers say they shot and killed him at a gas station. a trucker and wife were there as officers converged. >> oh, my god, lock the doors. he's here. i peek out and saw four or five uniformed with guns. >> today is a devastating day for nova scotia and will remain etched in the minds of many for years to come. >> you heard from the commanding officer there. she says the officer killed, heidi stevenson, was a 23-year
6:12 am
veteran. investigators are still trying to figure out why that gunman snapped. and san bernardino county is reporting the first death of an inmate due to complications from coronavirus. authorities say that more than 650 inmates there have been tested. at least 100 have tested positive. a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. and new this morning with traffic down about 50%, so are crashes and accidents. prior to the shelter at home order there were nearly 500 injuries or deadly crashes statewide daily. that's now down to 240 and that means the state is saving about $40 million a day in the costs that are tied to emergency response. look at the forecast meteorologist kari hall. we're starting out with some milder temperatures this morning with some light showers passing through. mostly mid to upper 50s as you
6:13 am
head out the door. as we go into the rest of the forecast a beautiful day ahead. we start to see the rain clearing out. if you want to enjoy some time outside, maybe in con court you want to grill and have outdoor time with the family, you might want to take that dinner inside. a warm-up in the forecast. mike, you've been tracking what's happening with the commute. >> not a lot happening. that's the good news. traffic is very light. we didn't need the news for that. you know that. let's talk about the impact on transit. we have a warning for folks who take the early bird express for b.a.r.t. next week starting on monday between 4:00 and 5:00 in the morning all of the express buses will be cut back or some will be eliminated. check for the latest on that change. a warning if you do take the early bird express you might

6:17 am
right now at 6:17 we're tracking some rain nothing through parts of the north bay, over to parts of the delta. after this we'll get a chance to dry out and a warm-up headed our way. more on that in a few minutes. good morning. a very happy monday to you. some really interesting news coming out of novartis early this morning. they say they are going to launch an american-based blind study of hydroxychloroquine. this is very important because we don't know that much about it. the anti-malaria drug has been
6:18 am
touted by president trump as a wonder drug, in his words, but it's never faced the traditional tests standard here in america. novartis says that is what they will do. some patients will get hydroxychloroquine. some will get a mixture of hydroxychloroquine and an antibiotic, and some people will get a placebo. again, this sort of scientific test has never been done to this level. all of the hopes have been based on anecdotal evidence or foreign studies with very small numbers of people. a lot of americans are working from home, getting used to the ideas. workers have seemed to. corporate america needed to be convinced. it got me to thinking what else could we do from home? surely changes are coming. the expert on remote working from a company called rhub.
6:19 am
what are you helping people do? i understand doctors and first responders, right? good morning. >> basically the doctor brought up this in the field today, the biggest advantage is security, that they know the patient information will be maintained in a secure fashion. they use it for both showing information like going over an x-ray but turning the camera on on the remote the patient may have if there's something the patient can show them that would help the diagnosis. so we do it in both ways. >> sure. what can we do in the future? one of the things i was thinking i've seen repairmen come in and make a simple adjustment to something and i thought in this day and age maybe i could just point my iphone at it, my dishwasher or something, and the company can say, yeah, okay, i need you to turn that knob three times to the right or whatever. >> absolutely.
6:20 am
it's a tremendous need because the appliances, all the field work these days is getting much more complicated. we try to put more devices on the net. the service people go crazy trying to figure out what's going on. yes, if the consumer can solve the problem with just a little bit of expert device that saves a lot of money. when the repair person gets there if they're befuddled, what do they do? they call. we want to turn that call into an interactive video collaboration call to make the call quicker, get the problem fixed, get them out of there. you just moved into a new house, you have the dishwasher, how do you change the filter? beautiful. call them up and have them show you how to do it. >> larry is the ceo of rhub. i appreciate you being with us this morning. marcus and laura, i saw this. you may not be surprised to hear this but netflix in los gatos doing very well. would you believe the company is now more valuable than exxon mobil.
6:21 am
shares of netflix puterall valu capitalization, of netflix at $185 billion. i believe exxon mobil at $182 billion. you were talking, marcus, about oil prices earlier. netflix, yes, driving around using gasoline, no. >> a lot of people just aren't driving at all. i guess it's not too surprising people are at home watching netflix. >> it's reflective of our times at the moment. >> scott, thanks. 6:21. laura, are you ready to tell people good news? >> we are always looking for good news, right? how about a little story time for some kids with a former first lady. >> i'm michelle obama and welcome to mondays with me. >> michelle obama joined the pbs kids on facebook and youtube. this started today at 9:00 a.m.
6:22 am
and it will run every monday for four weeks. today's book is by julia donaldson. i've never read that one. kari, have you read that to your kids? i know your little one there maybe? >> we've been reading every day trying to do circle time, some sense of normalcy. i'd like a break so i think we're going to tune in to michelle obama and let her do story time and maybe she'll hold their attention better, i'm hoping. we've been doing these things, home schooling and also how about thinking about the earth and the environment. this is earth week leading up to earth day with tips on reducing your carbon footprint. how about hanging out your clothes to dry, something that may be new for some people. turn off the lights and unplug
6:23 am
any unused appliances. i have to tell my son all the time to turn off the lights when you leave the room. one thing can you do pay all of your bills online. that may help you out with getting some of that mail and extra clutter and people that you have to recycle. reduce, reuse, recycle. of course that still stands true today. thinking about more ways that we can do that. also, planting a tree is a fun activity you can do with the kids and having your own garden, even just a little bit of your food keeps from having to have that delivered to your store. as we go throughout this week it's going to be great weather for doing all of those things, hanging out your clothes to dry and also working in the garden. very warm weather is going to start to build in and then it will feel more like summer so we're starting out this week with those temperatures that we've seen in the 60s as we see this light rain moving through but it is all clearing out as we
6:24 am
go to the end of the week but then by this weeke to feel like mid-60s to the mid-80s. more on that in the forecast with more updates throughout the morning, marcus. 6:24 for you. up next a southern california county loosening stay-at-home restrictions. we'll tell you what's hope today and who is told to stay home. and we continue to celebrate bay area graduates who are going without an official ceremony. congratulations. you all did it. we're proud of you. share your pictures of your graduates with me. ok.

weekend. let's check the forecast for today. we'll get to mike in a moment. here is meteorologist kari hall. >> a little bit of light rain moving through, not a lot of rain here. as we track it moving through mostly the north bay right now it's quickly racing out. as we go into the rest of the day we'll have a chance to dry out our temperatures this week start out in the mid-60s but a big warm-up is headed our way. by the end of the week we're in the mid-80s. so i'll be talking more about this in the forecast. also more on the rain coming through in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. back to you. >> thanks, kari. if you happen to be out doing essential things, you probably saw a lot of people wearing the mask or the scarves to cover up. this week more people will be ordered to wear those masks but not in one county. roz plater is near the santa clara county and alameda county line this is an important distinction between the two
6:33 am
because, roz, what >> reporter: it is indeed. now i'm in free month on the alameda side where these masks are legally required to be worn. just behind me where it says welcome to milpitas that is santa clara county. officials don't want to you get a false sense of security. let's just show you everywhere else in the bay area, you will be required to wear those masks. sonoma county, san francisco, marin county, contra costa, san mateo and alameda counties are all requiring them. most will start enforcing the health department orders on wednesday. it will be mandatory when you are running those essential errands like to the groce store, to the doctor's office or riding public transportation, but they are not yet mandatory in santa clara county. >> i doubt they'll be mandatory requirements for face guards for every citizen. there might be mandatory
6:34 am
requirements for n95s or other personal equipment in certain situations. >> reporter: that's even though santa clara has the highest number of cases, health officials are strongly recommending you cover your face but don't want to you get complacent because this does not replace social distancing. you could wear a mask, one like i'm wearing, or a scarf or a bandanna, something to cover your nose and mouth while you're in public. we're live in fremont. i'm roz plater for "today in the bay." >> thank you, roz. you can sometimes smell before you see it in san francisco but certainly not this year. today's 4/20, the annual celebration of all things marijuana. it's all going up in smoke, though, due to the pandemic. let's check in with sharon katsuda. she joins us live from san francisco this morning on how
6:35 am
they're trying to make sure people stay home. sharon? >> reporter: they really are, laura. this event is usually packed. we're seeing signs flashing out here saying event canceled and we're seeing park rangers warning people to not show up. normally today tens of thousands of people celebrate marijuana in all forms. this is video of last year's event in golden gate park. the city is trying to make sure people follow the stay-at-home order. san francisco is keeping people away from hippy hill. gates were put up yesterday in preparation. park rangers had been walking around reminding people the area will be closed today and gatherings are not allowed.gery there's going to be road closures. all the entrances to the east p and there will be no parking anywhere.
6:36 am
>> reporter: some artists are doing virtual 4/20 celebrations online that people can watch from home and cannabis stores will have zoom meetings. i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." san francisco health leaders say the outbreak at laguna honda is widening. the senior care center has now confirmed 19 cases of covid-19. that is up from 14 just two weeks ago. four involved patients, the others staff. they don't believe they've seen the last of the outbreak there at the facility. more and more each month we're into that pandemic and many people are still having questions about what's going on inside of hospitals and if the situation is improving. joining us to talk about that is dr. ramchandani. i know we spoke to you the last hour and were talking about
6:37 am
asymptomatic. the question i want to add to what we talked about as we talked about more people are showing the symptoms of being asymptomatic in the military, is that something we should be frightened up? these are people who have covid-19 but are not showing symptoms. should we be scared or meaning we might not get as sick as we thought we would? >> i would like to say we need a lot of studies to prove this. right now the antibody testing we're doing could be false positive and i'm not 100% sure of that at this time. you're right, the studies are showing there are a lot of asymptomatic patients and how it will imply for the future, opening up the economy and sheltering in place is very important. >> give us insight into what's going on in your hospital. are you seeing an increased number or a slowdown just a bit? >> fortunately with the shelter
6:38 am
in place we are seeing reduced hospitalizations and reduced icu beds for critical patients. the deaths have been decreasing on a daily basis. >> there are a lot of unknowns. we talk about that a lot. what have we learned in the last weeks? we're learning little about this virus. >> that is true. this is something we're all learning as we go along. as you mentioned there could be a lot of asymptomatic patients so testing everybody could be one of the strategies. or at least testing for more people than we are doing at this time. >> all right, doctor. we want to thank you so much for joining us this morning and giving us a little advice on what's going on. >> thank you. it's 6:38 right w. weekend. checking the forecast with meteorologist kari hall. we do still have some nice weather in the forecast.
6:39 am
we did see an early morning wave of rain through parts of the bay area. not all of us saw the rain but it's been very light and so once that moves on we're in for a mix of sun and clouds today. in fact, here is a look at a cloudy start looking at walnut creek and our temperatures have been milder as this system quickly moves by and we go throughout the day we'll see the sun peeking out every now and then with low 60s going into the afternoon. we will have a cool start to the week but we will see a pretty big warm-up going into the next several days. i'll have more on that. mike, what's our new normal for today? >> what is new is become more normal even for our more historic, older establishments. i mean that with respects. judy nakano posted her daughter angie's picture taken at original joe's in daley city. it's been there since 1956 but they've transformed the front of

only from the pandemic but from the faltering economy. he says the cuts that lie ahead, he called for help from the federal government. he's also tried to remain hopeful. >> our daily life is unrecognizable. we are bowed and we are worn down. we are grieving our dead. but we are not broken. >> garcetti says thousands will have to take 26 furlough days amounting to a 10% pay cut over the next year. a deal is working its way through congress that may help cities like los angeles. >> that's right but will it be enough money? let's check in with scott mcgrew. good morning to you both t. never seems like enough money, marcus and laura. i gasped a breath when we heard about the first round of the paycheck protection program was going to be a third of a
6:46 am
trillion dollars and that money vanished almost immediately there was such a need. congress is working on another tranche of funding for the ppe that would go to small business. democrats want loans to states and local governments. that might help l.a. everybody agrees we have to spend the money, we are in a state of emergency and there are no options but it brings up the deficit. we ran a record deficit when everything was doing well. now we're going to have even bigger and can we ever pay them off. one estimate by a conservative financial group says by fall our deficit will be the entire size of the entire american economy and that paying off just the interest on the loan will be the second biggest thing in
6:47 am
discretionary funds behind defense. the protests happening all over the united states over the week, "the washington post" has traced the organizers to a set of brothers with right-wing politics. debate among the flags and signs appearing at the demonstrations. some of the biggest protests were in michigan. michigan has the second highest death toll and twice that of california despite being a fraction of the size. he was asked to explain that. >> i watched the protests and they were all six feet apart. a very orderly group of people. some have gone too far. some of the things that happened are maybe not so appropriate and in the end will not matter because we're starting to open up our states and i think
6:48 am
they're going to open up very well. we're going to be watching it, watching it very closely. >> the vice president will be talking about opening up with the governors. >> scott, thank you. everyone these days are used to working at home. the nfl will have to get used to it as they prepare for the draft starting thursday. the team will hold a mock draft today to get used to working in the virtual format. the 49ers pick 13th in thursday's first round. experts believe they may try to nab a top wide receiver, fill a void left by deforest buckner. this is who was traded to the colts. remember, las vegas was supposed to host the draft but it turns out that only the raiders will be there and fans will be watching at home. the raiders have two first-rouns will host their first game in
6:49 am
sin city. the schedule is due out middle of may but even then it's not clear when the games may finally begin. and we have something good for you that comes in the word of good boy. we've seen a lot of those zoom meetings turn into pups popping up everywhere, laura. >> this one goes to the dogs, marcus. one reporter took it to the next level with a rough interview including some college mascots. he decided to invite them to a video chat. sadly the meeting came to an abrupt halt when a doorbell rang with a food delivery. priorities, priorities, i guess. all right, a good day to take the dogs out for a walk, kari? >> i was trying to look at that zoom call to see if the mississippi state bulldog was on there. i was trying to see.
6:50 am
