"today in the bay's" tracie potts is live with this developing story and the reaction. tracie?

>> reporter: yeah, we're starting to get reaction. it's a big announcement short on details at this point. the president didn't say when although a senior official says it's been in the works for some time, the president has been considering it and it will likely happen soon. shutting down immigration, president trump says he'll sign an executive order. officials say early this week to temp rarely suspend immigration into the united states to protect jobs and americans from the coronavirus. senator kamala harris accuses him of shamelessly politicizing the pandemic. travel was already banned from china and europe, the northern border with canada is closed and migrants from the southern border are regularly being deported. this unexpected shutdown comes as congress tries to add $310 billion for more small business loans. overnight we learned the senate may take action this afternoon.

workers included in this that weren't before. a small business owner told savannah guthrie it feels like the death of the american dream. >> i know so many people who pour their hearts -- it's the backbone of our economy. and i think get out and be a entrepreneur, and i think it would be very sad if they all went away. >> reporter: so the state employment office has added more staff and more phone lines to try to support the need. when you see the numbers doubling in just a week, easy to understand why there's such a backlog. we will keep pressing for see wt change, might get easier because we know so many of you are trying to get through to that life line n. san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> worried for so many people and these small businesses. we'll have to see who can really survive all this. thanks a lot, kris.

tied to the same group of organizers and they're using facebook to get everyone together. facebook says it will delete some of the organizers' posts not because facebook is weighing in on the protests but the groups aren't following governmental guidelines on social distancing. this has led some including the president's son, donald trump jr., to claim this is a violation of the protesters' first amendment rights. a reminder private companies quashing private speech is not covered by the first amendment. wall street very unhappy with the price of oil. it's cheaper than water in some cases. cheaper than the barrel it comes in. it's been a disaster for big oil companies but good for consumers. the website gas buddy says a number of states highlighted there where you can find gas under $1 a gallon in the midwest with wisconsin with the absolute lowest prices. now the way that argueses buy

fuel they don't buy it by the barrel when they need it. they buy a contract in the future for a certain set price. that's led to very odd things happening. futures a couple months out there's so much oil the oil companies have no place to put it and those contracts have gone negative. they're paying people to take the oil. we live in crazy, crazy times. a couple ways you can make get some money salesforce has released details on how small businesses can get $100,000 grants. the process opens next week. you have to have at least two employees including yourself and revenue of at least $250,000 a year. and this one is real specific but the deadline is tomorrow. if you receive social security, veterans benefits or are on disability and you have a minor

child under 18 the irs says it needs to know that so it can get you the $500 stimulus check for your child. the deadline is tomorrow but the irs only told us about this yesterday. this is an incredibly narrow category of person but it's something i want our viewers to know. the money is out there. >> exactly. just to get the word out is so important. new this morning two major airlines are offering free flights to new jersey for health care workers who can help in the coronavirus outbreak. the governor says the state there is in desperate need of help. united and delta are offering free roundtrip flights for volunteers from any airport in the united states. the first volunteers arrived yesterday from atlanta. another group will arrive from colorado. something good for you that morning from italian health care workers stuck on the front lines. >> that's right. some of them set aside their

exhaustion and are now turning into an innational sensation. the group celebrated the end of their shift by grooving out to some salsa. all have been segregated in the past 45 days. >> laura, speaking of dancing, a little hairy for you -- a hairier dance this morning. during a shelter at home. take a look at this parade. they paraded them around bringing some joy to people stuck at home. they tweeted the pair is on the road to the "ellen" show. maybe they'll end up on national tv. that would be a sight to see >> they're cute. >> send them into the studio. >> have them come on in. >> coup the alpacas. >> to meteorologist kari hall with a look at the forecast. a great day to walk your alpaca

around the neighborhood. >> it's going to be hot. >> if we had one. hey, we've been talking about something else pretty awesome during this pandemic. we've all been doing things to take care of each other. it's also earth day so we've been talking about how to take care of our planet. we know we've been talking about things like how to help out our carbon footprint or reduce that and let's talk about what carbon dioxide is, it's naturally occurring in the atmosphere. what we do when we drive, flying airplanes and riding on boats, we're also putting out more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. and that acts as something that traps the heat. it also warms thingsup, almost acts like a vehicle where you have sun light coming into a car and that glass from the windows keeps it from escaping. we have the same effect when it comes to carbon dioxide and it

warming up our atmosphere. so we're going to be talking about how we've decreased the amount of carbon emissions because we're not driving as much. we've decreased our carbon dioxide emissions at about 26%. we'll talk how the weather team is saving carbon dioxide emissions because we're not commuting to work. we're also going to see our temperatures warming up here in the bay area so we're looking at some mid-70s inland today to the low 80s, even mid-80s by the end of the week. not a chance of rain over the next several days. and, mike, you've been watching the commute and those big drops that we've seen from people traveling. right. big drops because there are fewer cars. i think we can work together.

we always work together. i'll back you up. >> looking to the roadway you will have a little bit of a backup in oakland. the rest of the bay, the green sensors show you what's going on. northbound 880 just like yesterday, that stretch from the coliseum up past high street toward 23rd is slow because the volume is increasing just a bit and just enough to have the two lanes blocked be anow through a. we saw the same pattern yesterday. 580 westbound is an option to get around it. that's your slow spot, again, northbound in through oakland. the rest of the bay is great. >> thanks, mike. next here on "today in the bay," the growing number of people researchers believe may already have been infected with coronavirus. but first, here is something good to share with you. check out the photo of kris sanchez's husband trying to work from home. look closely in the window.

overnight. this was caught on camera. this twister had wind speeds up to 85 miles per hour destroying part of a building, bringing down trees and power lines. luckily no one was hurt. new details in the crash of kobe bryant. a wrongful death suit has been filed. bryant's widow has filed a similar suit alleging the owners of the helicopter were careless and negligent. ntsb investigators have ruled out mechanical failure. six people who voted in person in wisconsin primary this month tested positive for covid-19 including a poll worker. all the cases were reported in milwaukee. this is where there were long lines for those voters.

they tried to postpone but the decision was overruled. nearly 70% of americans are in favor of everyone voting by mail this november if that pandemic is still going strong according to a new nbc/"wall street journal" poll. president trump has recently said he does not trust voting by mail. hundreds of thousands in los angeles may have been exposed to coronavi as much as 5.6% of adults have covid-19 antibodies in their blood. that could mean 422,000 adults have been infected. the county, however, is reporting fewer than 8,000 confirmed cases. >> more protests are planned against the shutdown today including in missouri and north carolina. demonstrators are calling on the governors to reopen the economy.

governor newsom says he supports their right to protest but asks they practice social distancing. >> a halt on all public events this june including celebrate israel day. no go is new york's pride parade that would have celebrated its 50th anniversary. the top stories we're following including -- >> some people should take this as a good sign, a positive sign. >> encouraging news as governor to outline the new reopening plan. plus, working to help renters make it in the bay. a live report on the voting on some relief solutions. but first something good before we head to break and the show of support.

levi's stadium was lit up in purple to support those hospital workers affected by the pandemic. it is a great show of support that we have seen throughout the bay area. everyone wanting to lend their hand and a round of applause to all of those working on the front lines and just helping us during this pandemic. we have much more ahead for you here on "today in the bay." it is 5:27. we'll be right back. with so many nourishing shades,

we're at 54 degrees. 54 in palo alto. we're going to see our temperatures a little bit warmer than yesterday. reaching into the low 70s, even some mid-70s for spots like fairfield. we'll watch that warming trend and another update in a few minutes. breaking news to tell you about, the search for two missing boys in the north bay. police say 10-year-old wesley and 12-year-old isaac flores were last seen sunday night. it's believe they left riding a white dirt bike. if you see them you are asked to call police. reports north korean leader kim jong-un may be seriously ill. south korea said kim is, quote,

touring provincial areas with close aides. kim jong-un was last seen at a communist party meeting ten days ago but was absent from a celebration of the country's founder and his grandfather five days ago. when states can start easing restrictions and open nonessential businesses. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live for us. the question is when will we see the opening of these businesses? >> reporter: and that's the question we don't have the answer to. governor gavin newsom, marcus, has said that california must meet six criteria before it can reopen. pertaining to testing, tracking, isolation, quarantine and vulnerable populations. he will update us on how well the state is meeting that criteria but this virus knows no

jurisdiction. the governor says he shares the same load but the hospital load and the number of icu beds must guide that decision to reopen. we've seen another positive sign we are flattening the curve. good samaritan hospital in san jose says it no longer needs a test to help screen patients and deal with overflow capacity. health care workers are now able to treat patients inside the hospital and there are plenty of available beds. >> the number of cases being hospitalized, coming to the icu in general. we've seen that decrease week after week after week. now it's time to get back to normal operations. >> reporter: some hospitals are still being hit heart. the tents good sam's has will be

in storage and available. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you so much, bob. there's a lot of talk about reopening but what does the data reveal. california is in the green. it says it will open possibly may 18th. this is a model so hawaii and montana possibly reopening may 1st and then new york. that's june 1st. and georgia which is reopening some businesses this friday but according to this model here, the state should wait until june 8th or even later. data includes the number of infections and how widely a state is tested. mendocino county may be the next on the list of where you have to cover a face with a mask. "the press democrat" is reporting this morning local leaders are considering that

order. right now there are only five confirmed cases in that county so they want to take precautions. in the meantime starting tomorrow orders of enforcement will begin for many of the other bay area counties. face coverings still remain an option. several local governments are calling for tenant protections in communities where people are just really trying to make it in the bay. some landlords understandably as well are pushing back. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez with a look at what's on the table. good morning, kris. >> reporter: hi there, laura. there are a number of communities that want to do more to protect tenants because many are losing their jobs. these are the discussions. the city council will talk about freezing rent increases through the end of the year. discussing extending the

moratorium to commercial tenants impacted by covid-19. in richmond, this is a big talker, the council will discuss suspending rent and mortgages for the duration of the shelter in place emergency. the council will also consider taking up the issue of commercial tenant protections against eviction. governor gavin newsom's executive order does remain in place but also gives the ability to take these protections even further. this has not been without pushback from landlords who cannot afford to bring in the rental income or not apply those increases. these will be increasingly important because according to edd stats, the state employment office we expect there could be a lot more layoffs in the weeks ahead.orkers

protesting what they say are unsafe working conditions. cooks and cashiers at an oakland mcdonald's will protest for the third day saying mcdonald's is not providing sick leave or masks. amazon warehouse workers are doing a mask sickout. they say amazon is not protecting them during the pandemic. los angeles is preparing for big time budget cuts. 10% of pay cuts and 26 days of furloughs for city workers. a lot of the blame can be placed squarely on lost revenue due to the coronavirus. >> i say budgets are a statement of our values.

hard times are ahead. >> core services including police and fire will be spared but no programs will be cut entirply. l come down on tree trimming, road repair and graffiti removal. covid-19 will dominate the santa clara county board of supervisors meeting today. on the agenda how to safely reopen funding for foster youth and using the civic center as temp rathorary housing. the meeting gets under way on zoom at 9:30. and stay away from san mateo county beaches. that's the warning from the sheriff as well as pacifica pd. over the weekend officers warned more than 400 people to follow the stay-at-home order. 275 of them were told to get off the beach because they live more than five miles away. officers say 45% of parked more than five miles away. wond

bodies with this whole stay-at-home order, are people working out more or less? >> i've been working out less and looking in the mirror, whoa. who is this man in front of me? >> you're tall, though. it has a lot of places to go. when you're little, it can only go out. look, for those who are still getting out doing a little activity to stay in shape today would be a good day to do that, right? >> absolutely even if you're just in the backyard. we are going to see some sunshine and some warmer weather today as we are now in between weather systems. we had some clouds yesterday. now all of that has moved out as we get a live look. walnut creek we're starting out with temperatures there at about 52 degrees and then it warms up as we go into the rest of the morning into the afternoon. we have some upper 60s by early in the afternoon and so we're going to have some great weather here as we reach into the low 70s today for parts of the east bay, the tri-valley as well as

the north bay. mike, how is it looking out there for commuters heading out right now? >> kari, we have one spot where it's slow and that's over in oakland looking at the overall view and things are very smooth as you're driving all around the bay but then as we get over to the downtown oakland area we have a problem as you head up and toward -- oh, my gosh, we have a new problem as we get to the downtown area. look at all the slowing as you come in toward the oakland area up to high street. that construction still blocking half your lanes. so that is the concern but the only concern for traffic flow. the new normal is everything else is clear. let's talk about the culture. people are not on the roads because we're working from home. web chat to see more of each other but is it too much? that's the question mr. meehan posted. ed says, is this too much for my zoom background? there are a lot of answers. some honest replies, none were

from students. that's a teacher. also my friend and his friend john posted as a reply, i think it's fine. his zoom background from up in portland is the same for his work at home meetings. i think the question isn't can we see enough of each other, we can say can it be too much for some people to see of others. what i can see from you send me your new normal on facebook, instagram and twitter. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:41 this morning and we want to talk about those furious fans taking action against the major league baseball. still ahead here on "today in the bay," the all new lawsuit they're filing and a push for ticket refunds. also, there's a general agreement that we can't get back to work unless there is nationwide testing but who is in charge, the states or the federal government? we'll take a look at that. first, something good to pht

time this week talking to parents who received new chrome books for distance learning with their kids. more than 70,000 students in need will receive laptops. great news there. we'll be right back.

new colgate optic white renewal removes ten years of yellow stains. that's like all the way back to 2010. do the dougie! remove ten years of yellow stains with new colgate optic white renewal. that could mean an increase byin energy bills.. you can save by setting your heat to 68 or lower... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or just letting the sun light your home. stay well and keep it golden.

right now at 5:44 we're starting out with some clouds as we take a live look outside over the south bay.

we're going to see temperatures mild to start but warming up as we go into today with a lot of sunshine. get ready for temperatures near 70 degrees. we'll talk about this and an even bigger warm-up in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. thanks, kari. many of the 2.7 million californians out of a job are having a hard time filing for unemployment battling the state's unemployment development department or edd site. shayna smith says she called 375 times in four hours. here is where she got. >> i got through to the automa to go through the prompts and try to get a representative and each time i was disconnected with them saying the system was unavailable or that there were too many calls to handle.

so i never spoke to anybody. >> now edd says it trained hundreds of employees to help process those claims. coming up for you in 15 minutes. >> state lawmakers are squaring off with the governor's office of spending during this crisis. family members met up yesterday demanding more oversight. leaders in both houses a raising questions, over $7 billion in new spending including governor newsom's under the radar deal to secure millions in medical masks, refusing to provide any details fearing it may be jeopardized. three strong earthquakes in three weeks striking the california/nevada border near yosemite. a 4.0 struck last night at about 10:00. a 3.3 quake hit the same area a

week ago and 4.4 struck two weeks ago. no reports of damage or injury from any of those quakes. new details in the plan to emerge from bankruptcy. yesterday a judge advised the state's public utilities commission to approve a new set of controls. those controls are meant to prevent future slip-ups that in the past have led to catastrophic fires, massive power outages and high rates. now if the plan is approved when it meets next month the judge in all likelihood would allow pg&e to emerge from bankruptcy by the target date of june 30th. america's governors and big businesses say that we can't open just yet. >> there's a disagreement over who should be doing the testing. let's check in with scott mcgrew. good morning, laura and marcus. should it be the states or the

federal government that's in charge of the testing. the president and his testing czar once again repeated this would be states' responsibility to obtain and conduct those tests. on capitol hill democrats are holding up the new stimulus fund. they want more money for nationwide testing along with national testing standards. testing in which the federal government is in charge or should that testing be state by state with the states in charge. the state by state plan is we may be 50 independent states but what happens in one state definitely affects what happens in another state, florida's reluctance to close where the rest of us had already started to shelter at home and then the kids on spring break went back

home to places like new york city. the president says he wants those states to handle testing and that's what maryland's governor, the republican larry hogan did using a contact through his wife, maryland was able to get tests from south korea. we have video just in to our newsroom of the tests arriving on an airplane. the first lady of maryland is a korean american, was key in making this happen. they're calling it operation enduring friendship. the president said maryland should have turned to the federal government instead. >> the governor of maryland could have called mike pence, could have saved a lot of money. look at these different places. and that's maryland right there. could have saved a lot of money but that's okay. i don't think he needed to go to south korea. he needed to get a little knowledge. >> which goes against the message of state by state testing, that it's all up to the states and their responsibility. the president will meet with governor andrew cuomo of new

york today. those two have not always seen eye to eye but will talk face-to-face today. an update on the immigration. the president says he will ban immigration for the purpose of employment. there are so many questions about this. would this include people who are already here but have applied for green cards? would this include visas, renewals? these are all questions. no doubt that will be asked on today's press conference. we'll be answering on twitter. find me there@scottmcgrew. thank you very much, scott. with baseball season up in the air baseball is facing a lawsuit from angry fans. the suit was actually filed in los angeles against the league and its ticket retail partners. it claims fans have tried and failed to get refunds for postponed games. they are seeking class action status claiming many more fans
