other states trying to reopen and that's participate of what we heard with remote testimony from dr. anthony fauci with this morning that if we reopen too soon we could see unnecessary deaths. he talked about students going back to school saying a lot more testing for parents to be comfortable sending their kids back to school and talked about the more than 80,000 deaths so far in the united states explaining why that could be an undercount. >> the people who died at home who did have covid who are not counted as covid because they never really got to the hospital. >> thank god for dr. fauci. thank god for him having the courage to speak truth. >> reporter: so governors coming to the white house to meet with the president to talk about increased testing. meantime in california the governor working to ramp up

testing. governor newsom saying more than 1 million diagnostic tests have been done so far. 35,000 a day for the past few days. he is ordering the state to allow pharmacies to collect specimens for covid-19 testing, ordering tests for consumers and then delivering those to be processed at public health facilities, universities or commercial labs to try to get more people in california tested as the state very slowly begins to think about reopening. back to you. >> good to see that put in place. thanks so much. 6:03. new stimulus developments on two fronts. one, f anyone still seeking a stimulus check. kris sanchez with a look at that plus, kris, that possible new $3 trillion stimulus proposal.

>> reporter: hi, marcus. nice to see you. this is far from a done deal. republicans are saying hold on. maybe it's too soon for more stimulus money. we don't know how the first round went in the first place. house speaker nancy pelosi named her nearly $3 trillion relief package the h.e.r.o.e.s. act focusing on opening the economy safely and soon and putting money into the hands of the american people who can't afford to wait. >> hunger doesn't take a pause, rent doesn't take a pause, the hardship of losing a job or tragically losing a loved one doesn't take a pause. momentous opportunity for us to meet the needs of the american people to save their lives, their livelihoods and our democracy.

>> reporter: it would mean another $1,200 stimulus check per person, upping the stimulus for minor dependents from $500 to that $1,200 mark and it includes dependents 17 and over unlike the last round. also $175 billion in rent, mortgage and utility assistance. $200 billion in hazard pay for essential workers and an extension of that $600 a week unemployment benefit. plus a trillion for our state and local governments who said they'll be hurting going forward. one requirement for restarting business. more which is one reason republicans say it's too soon for a new stimulus bill because we don't know how well the other ones have worked. if you are among those 150

million americans still waiting for your stimulus check and you want to direct deposit it into your account, 9:00 a.m. our time is the deadline to make sure the irs has your electronic transfer on file. go to irs.gov. the cutoff is 9:00 this morning. you'll still get your money but you'll get a paper check and it will take longer. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest there, kris. less than two months away to the start of a new fiscal year and city budgets are scrambling to try to make their budgets even work. they're going to have a lot of cutbacks as well. in fact, in san jose the councilmembers there yesterday addressed a possible $72 million shortfall. talked about extensive furloughs and they're not ruling out job cuts. the palo alto weekly reports they have given initial approval to cut police and fire services.

for now it may include cutting more than 25 jobs in the police department. the state senate is looking to help low-income renters impacted by the pandemic. a new proposal calling for the state to give landlords a tax credit to cover the money lost. renters would have ten years to pay the state back. the program would be tied to the state's $25 billion economic recovery fund. the governor is giving restaurants the green light to reopen. some are saying no way. they want to reopen for in-house dining with social distancing rules, a lot of them. they include fewer tables. many bay area counties say they

just aren't there yet. joining us is the owner of the wine cellar in los gatos, lisa hauc alvarez. thank you for joining us this morning. the governor says you can reopen but the county says -- oh, we lost -- we're going to try to work on that and get back to you in a little bit. governor newsom says shopping malls and offices can reopen with some changes. that includes offering curbside pick yum and offering office buildings only if people can not work from home. exclusive hours for vulnerable populations like the elderly. laura? >> let's jump back to the

interview about the governor giving green lights for restaurants to open for in-person dining but the county saying no. lisa hauck alvarez from the wine cellar. thanks for joining us. this has to be frustrating, i have to assume. >> it seems to keep going on and on and no end in sight. >> and some pretty big rules you're going to have to adhere to when you do get a chance to reopen. restaurants, they say, need to have a safety plan, training staff on that plan, screening customers. social distancing at the tables as well, less turnover for you. are you concerned? >> absolutely. i've looked through the restrictions as much as i can. there's quite a few, but i feel

like we're certainly capable of meeting those restrictions. we certainly have the square footage. quite a big restaurant and private dining rooms. we have a big patio but is that going to make sense for us economically? the overhead will go up significantly but is the revenue going to match that? are people even going to come? i've heard of other states getting the green light to open up and people aren't coming so i think that's participate of wha. it's about the whole dining experience. people come here to gather with friends and family and they run into neighbors, and they interact with the staff and are they going to be able to do that if they're socially distanced and limited on time and everyone

is wearing masks. is that even going to be an enjoyable experience? i don't know. >> right, right. a very good point. the emotional part of it as well. >> absolutely. >> going out and dining. how hard do you think it will be to get some of your employees back? i hear cases they're making more on unemployment. >> i've heard stories like that of restaurant owners working hard to get their restaurant open and staff back to work and then staffing upset because they're making more on unemployment but i really don't think that's the case here. i think the staff is anxious to get back to work. i think they miss that vibe i was talking about, they miss the customer that they've come to love and i think they want to get back to that.

i really just don't know what to think. >> we'll continue to follow it. we're wishing all our local restauranteurs the best and we'll follow this as the county will lift the order here and we'll see what will happen. we'll certainly do our part to try to support local small business. lisa, thanks so much for joining us this morning. >> thanks, laura. all right, let's get a look at the forecast, what's in store for today, kari? right now at 6:12 we're starting out with some clouds moving through but we're also going to have a dry start to the day and cool temperatures. more clouds move in by noon. we could even start to see a few spotty showers here and there but most of us won't see any rain today, so i'll be tracking forecast as we get closer tooi ?

>> we have 101 280. scheduled to have more closures. at the map we have it circled and a smooth drive throughout san francisco into and out of the city. the rest of the bay looks great but we do have slowing over in the tri-valley coming into the area. we'll talk more about that coming up. back to you. >> thanks, mike. >> thank you so much, mike. 6:13 for you that morning. coming up on "today in the bay," could it be the new normal for us all? next for you we're going to tell you about the trickle down effect of twitter's new work from home forever announcement. elon musk doesn't like the government's rules but does like the government's money. i'll take you out to the futures. the nasdaq continues to be the bright spot on the market. you're watching "today in the bay."

about the tesla factory. the billionaire would like more of california's money. spacex, one of musk's other companies, wants money to help train workers. the "l.a. times" reports the company will go before the state's employee training panel to ask for more than $600,000 to train workers on its star link program. star link is a cloud of spamall satellites that will deliver internet to the earth. elon musk is asking money from sacramento just a few weeks after he called the government's rules on health fascist and undemocratic. lawyers representing a group of facebook contractors say the company has agreed to pay out, $52 million to help them overcome the trauma of screening videos and pictures. they employ contractors to help them keep disturbing images off their networks.

in the settlement first reported by "the washington post" facebook admits no wrongdoing. we have in the past talked about how traumatizing that job can be watching thousands of videos per day looking for murder and suicide and sexual abuse and what not. we did a whole segment, in fact, on "press: here" with one of the leaders in the space finding out what it's really like to watch thousands of videos looking for awful things. the department of transportation is reminding airlines they owe passengers refunds if they cancel or even significantly change flights. the problem is oftentimes airlines are not giving out those refunds. the d.o.t. said it used to get 1,500 complaints a month. that has jumped to more than 25,000 complaints per month. the airlines themselves admit it's not happening in several cases because if they gave everybody a refund, they say, they would go bankrupt.

>> yeah, no kidding. tough time. >> thanks, scott. >> thank you very much, scott. so many of us are working from home right now. twitter is actually giving its employees a chance to work from home forever. it's up to them to decide. ceo jack dorsey is telling workers they can telecommute forever even after the pandemic ends. the san francisco social media company was an early adopter of the work at home model and it doesn't expect to open offices before september with all in opinion person company events on hold for the rest of the year. google and facebook are among other silicon valley companies extending work from home policies into 2021. new for you this morning if you're stuck at home heinz has a new way for you to spend some time. they have mixed up 570 puzzle pieces, each one with the same red one of the most perplexing food puzzles

of all time. the company is selling them online and even recently held a contest in canada to see who could put the puzzle together the quickest. the question is why would you want to do it? all red. >> that would be a tough one, a mind bender. 6:20 for you this morning. something good for you, lego movie stars helping kids understand the coronavirus and how to stay safe. lego power couple teaming up for a new song. ♪ hands, elbow, face, stay at home ♪ ♪ don't touch your eyes, ears, mouth or nose ♪ ♪ stay at home >> that was awesome. i know, you don't think -- >> no, i was coming for an air hug. >> everything is awesome. in case you need a recap the five easy steps washing hands, coughing or sneezing into an

elbow, not touching your face, keeping a safe distance from other people and staying home. and lots of air hugs these days. >> i know. i do that to a lot of people. i see them, like, and i'm giving you all one now. >> there you go. i'm feeling the love. i'm feeling the love. >> yeah, absolutely. >> personal space. personal space, marcus. >> that is true. i taught you well. >> hey, wait, that doesn't sound good. you need to explain it. sounds like i'm all over you. >> i'll explain it on facebook. >> sometimes strangers come up to us and i love it but -- >> personal space and just move just a little bit. >> i'm not good at that. i'm a hugger. >> this is true. let's get a look at the forecast. a lovable day out there, nice and kocool for us. the clouds will be giving us

some hugs later mostly clear sky. near fremont looking over the bay and it is all clear across much of the bay area. once again we are going to start to see more clouds moving in later as our temperatures only reach into the upper 60s and that will keep our temperatures cooler for this time of year. we are normally reaching into the low 70s. and it's all because of this approaching storm system moving in from the north and so we'll see our rain chances going up as we go into the rest of the afternoon. also tomorrow we'll have a chance of some showers passing by but it will be very spotty. hit or miss rain mostly in the north bay and possibly moving over to the east bay by this afternoon into the evening as we see our forecast at times trending a little wetter. some spots may not see rain at all. as we go into tomorrow we could see another rain first in the north bay and spreading in the rest of the bay area between

late morning and the afternoon. so our forecast keeps it cool, showers off and on for today and tomorrow. friday, more sunshine and our temperatures will get a boost. our high temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s and for san francisco for the most part we're staying in the 60s and another chance of rain by sunday into monday. mike, how is it looking for the commute? >> looking good. overall the bay shows green sensors all around. we have a much lighter volume than our typical time this year. as we come in we see slowing 580 out of tracy and also cascading down to 84. just a little bit of slowing. back to you. 6:23 this morning.

up next nbc bay area responds. >> reporter: thousands of unemployed workers are banding together to get their unemployment benefits faster. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we'll have that story next.

>> reporter: good morning, we've been inundated with calls from frustrated workers and are working to respond to everyone. it turns out we're not alone. erica chan moderates a facebook group called unofficial ca unemployment help. it has mushroomed to more than 33,000 members.

who share experiences and shortcuts. she started the group to answer just a few questions from friends and family. >> i figure just like me i'm struggling with money, they must be, too. i think it was word of mouth. >> it didn't take long to find those dealing with the state unemployment office. >> some of the most common questions involve identity, extensions and penalty weeks. erica and rudy agree there is no magic wand here. the key is persistence and continuing to call the employment development department. a lot of the most common problems do require intervention from a state specialist. so you have to just continue calling. if you want to see the facebook group's tricks we put a link on

our website nbcbayarea.com/responds. up next on "today in the bay" tracking the virus and how it got to our state of california. the route that it took. and the great goat escape. this wild scene playing out in the south bay capturing the attention of san jose's mayor. how did the goats get there?

"today in the bay" continues right now. we say continues because we've been up since 4:30 this morning. it's 6:31. i'm laura garcia. >> mike inouye is keeping an eye on traffic. more on that coming up later.

first meteorologist kari hall keeping track of the forecast for us. a nice one today, kari. a live look outside in the east bay heading to mt. diablo. we're waking up to sunshine but clouds will quickly move in as we go into late morning into the afternoon. a new storm approaching from the north will bring us a chance of spotty afternoon showers. we are following breaking news. paul manafort is out of prison, released to home confinement. he was sentenced to seven years for lying to federal investigators in the mueller probe. manafort served as chairman until 2019.

the dispute between tesla and alameda county is over. defining the order there. he wanted to keep his plant open and it is. bob redell is live there. they finally came to some sort of agreement here. >> reporter: they did. the public health department says tesla can move and resume this coming monday. assuming they stick to the agreement both sides came to. the county said they had productive conversations about its site specific plan and came to an agreement after suggesting some additional safety guidelines. you recall tesla reopened monday after governor gavin newsom restricted restrictions in the state. alameda county did not lift

those restrictions. tesla was in violation of the county's shelter in place order. tesla has sued the county arguing the state order should supersede the county order. tesla ceo elon musk dared authorities to arrest him monday. it's not clear if his company will face any quons againsts for reopeni reopening. musk has become a cause celeb. some have championed him in the fight of unreasonable government orders. now the coronavirus has killed more than 80,000 people in the country. some say musk could hurt himself with his electric vehicle buyers who favor more liberal causes. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." bob, thank you. oakland city leaders approved an ordinance to provide more emergency pay sick leave. that measure unanimously passed last night and it also applies

to gig economy workers like uber and lyft drivers. the ordinance was expected to pass last week in oakland's city council meeting but was canceled due to the requirement a minimum number of people must be present in order for the meeting to continue. the county is trying to do something to try to help people just make it in the bay. today the board of supervisors will discuss extending the ordinance now through august. the governor's executive order for the state ends at the end of the month. it prevents counties from extending the moratorium until he renews the order. there's increasing concern about how covid-19 is affecting our children as the centers for disease control actually prepares to issue an alert to

all doctors out there. one of the children that was treated right here in the bay area at lucille packard children's hospital. i want to check in with "today in the bay's" kris sanchez. this is a rare inflammatory disease that the children are getting. of course a big concern to parents. >> reporter: it is rare but seems to be happening more often and i know it is a hot topic with the parents and teachers especially as we talk about what's going to happen coming up in the fall with the return of school. the cdc is preparing to alert those doctors to track what they are calling pediatric inflammatory syndrome. at least three children have died and there are cases in 14 states including here in california. just monday we reported on the case of a baby at lucille packard. the kids seem to get very sick very fast in what seems to be a delayed reaction to covid-19. they suffer prolonged fever, rash, belly pain, can attack the

heart, kidneys and other organs. there were no other underlying conditions. >> i think we'd better be careful if we're not cavalier in thinking children are completely immune to the deleterious effects. but i am very careful and hopefully humbled in knowing that i don't know everything about this disease. it happens rapidly in children. they can go from having fever to suddenly deteriorating over a short period of time. >> reporter: maybe you're thinking kids are asymptomatic, but now doctors say some kids get sicker than we thought. in 177 kids with coronavirus one in four had to be hospitalized. the doctors may not necessarily be looking for these symptoms because they don't seem like the ones of coronavirus for adults,

the respiratory symptoms. if you are concerned about your kid, if they just don't seem right, are not feeling well, consult your doctor n. san jose, chris chmurkris sanchez, "today bay." >> parents have questions about this condition and if their child or children are at risk. joining us this morning is a clinical assistant professor of pediatric infectious diseases at stanford, dr. roshni mathew. thank you for joining us. >> good morning. thank you for having me. >> talk to us about this inflammatory disease. how do we see the effects in children and how does it affect them? >> so this is evolving and what we now know is pediatric patients with covid-19, they appear to have multisymptom

condition, and this subset so most children have so far presented mild covid-19 disease but this entity is more dramatic in its presentation and the children are ill. >> if parents notice the symptoms, what should be the first thing they do? call their physician? do you try to care for them at home? what should parents do? >> so a more severe presentation but i would recommend parents use the usual judgment that they do with children. if the child has fever, lasts about two to three days. the child is doing better, but if they continue to have

persistent fever, the child is not behaving as they usually do. have severe abdominal complaints, a rash, things like this should alert them that something is going on and they should contact their physician. >> dr. mathew, thank you for joining me and explaining this to us. >> thank you. >> laura? >> we want to take you out live to the community hospital in the north bay to show you what is going on there. first responders are conducting a hero's walk. isn't this great, for the doctors and nurses. there's usually a shift change in the morning. they're cheering on those frontline workers. it all got under way a few minutes ago at 6:30 this morning. thank you to all health care it's nice to see these salutes.

hopefully inspirational. really good to see. it's also great to see at 6:40 this morning a really nice start to our day, kari. >> yes, it's nice and clear and it's also nice to see some rain in the forecast. we'll get that later on. sunshine, a live look outside in walnut creek. and we're going to see clouds increasing as we go into the morning and early afternoon. i think our temperatures will be kept down even more as we are going to see those clouds and also a chance of showers. so we're looking at highs in the upper 60s and some low 70s. only a few spots will hit 70 degrees. mostly 60s as we start to see this new storm system arriving and bringing in some rain. i'll have more on a look at how much rain we may see and where coming up in a few minutes. mike, you're getting us out the door with a look at the morning commute. yeah, and look at the morning commute. green overall. slowing through the altamont,

and hayward. these are usual spots. that pattern has returned. as we get out to the new normal let's talk about my parents, good stuff. their choir is trying to do one of those zoom choir things like this one. an impressive piece. why did i pick this video? because scott mcgrew's niece, there she is right there playing cello. it's a very crowded scene but, remember, there's always room for cello. that's not zoom. this is from how to do a video from tiffany goodrich's youtube channel, it shows you how to edit and combine each and every performance to form that familiar grid and locally the boys chorus shows us this grid which means a lot of individual online voice coaching and now completely online teaching instructors are there.

today is california's day of the teacher. this is for california shouting them out and this year more than ever, guys, we appreciate all of the work. i am grateful and appreciate all of the patience that our teachers have as well. back to you. >> oh, yes. plenty of patience. >> thank you, teachers. 6:43. are you ready to play some ball? still ahead this morning, what nba and major league baseball players are saying about the possibility of getting back to the games. the president's former campaign manager has walked out of prison years early. let's take you out to new york city where the dow is down about 200 points. the head of the fed says 40% of people making less than $40,000 are out of work.

right now at 6:46 let's head to the south bay. a live look outside in san jose. we're going to see our temperatures in santa teresa in the low 50s and then as we go into the rest of the day clouds move in and rain possible later on. i'll have more on this and the forecast coming up in a few minutes. it is 6:46. the search for gunmen after two shootings on bay area freeways. the first in san jose on union

avenue. both drivers got out of their cars. one shooting the other driver in the leg before taking off. the second shooting being called targeted happened a couple hours later on 880 near coliseum way in oakland. the chp says someone shot a teenager three times. the victim survived. alameda county supervisors have narrowly approved a $300 million plan to hire more staff at dublin's santa rita plan. it will lead to 450 new positions, more than half of those will be guards. will also bring in more than 100 new mental health care workers and area critics say have been so understaffed it is now focused on -- now the focus of a 6:47 right now. there's a setback for t his hop former national security adviser soon to be out of hot water. >> scott mcgrew, it appears the judge in the michael flynn case not so sure the charges should be dropped.

that's a reasonable conclusion. good morning to both of you. michael flynn is the former national security adviser who lied to the fbi about his conversations with russia. he admitted to it, pleaded guilty to that fact. now in a shocking turnaround the justice department last week asked that the charges against flynn be dropped even after he pled guilty, even after he was convicted. it may be the first time in history that's happened. but the judge in the case who makes the final decision has now invited third parties, friends of the court, they call them, to file opinions why he should or should not give the go-ahead to drop the charges, meaning this thing is not over. we just got word a few moments ago that the manager paul manaf is at home. he will continue his sentence there, released from prison because of coronavirus concerns. he had been due to get out in 2024.

the supreme court today will take up the issue of the electoral college and whether members can vote for people other than what they were assigned to. so-called faceless electors. republicans look like they won two special elections, one in wisconsin, one in southern california. looks like victories in both of them. in an interview with "time" magazine, jared kushner said he wasn't sure if the 2020 presidential elections would go forward. this echoes a claim joe biden is making that somehow the trump administration would try to delay the elections. when asked if the pandemic could delayond i'm not sure i can commit one way or the other but right now it's the plan to go forward. now the president's daughter's husband does not set the election date. it is hard coded in the constitution. nobody can change it. kushner later clarified nobody at the white house has been discussing delaying the

elections. i'll leave you with dr. anthony fauci who testified before a senate committee yesterday saying if we open too early and there is another wave, we're going to have to shut down again and the next shutdown could be even longer. >> there is a real risk you will trigger an outbreak you may not be able to control which, in fact, paradoxically would set you back not only leading to some suffering and death that could be avoided but could even set you back on the road to try to get economic recovery, would almost turn the clock back rather than going forward. >> we're tweeting about what's happening in washington as always. follow me on twitte twitter @scottmcgrew. all right, sounds good. thanks so much, scott. some of us are really eager to see sports once again, and major league baseball is actually in talks to finalize a return as

early as july and is saying don't count the current nba season out because there's some new momentum brewing. the nba players union says they're open to resuming the season provided it's safe to. this follows reports union leaders got overwhelming support from the rank and file players about returning. now according to espn commissioner adam silver says a restart would come with a lot of restrictions. they need to make sure that everyone is safe. all right. we always like something good, and this is from one middle schoolteacher who definitely has the force on his side. >> if you have a child learning from home you probably know kids can easily get distracted. so a south carolina teacher decided the best way to keep their attention would be incorporating something they love, star wars. every day he creates short videos, he writes, he edits those, and even plays all the characters. >> i had one student kept saying

what's tomorrow's video? what's it going to be about? he kept tuning in and trying to get a sneak peek. i have 83% participation so i'm proud of that. >> i think he's the real fan. his next mission is to keep them interested, featuring classics, classical music, that is. he'll be playing his violin. that's pretty cool. like i said, i think he's the big fan. all right. 6:52 this morning. let's get a look at the forecast. kari? it has been really great to see what teachers are doing but we're also going to have to watch out for a chance of showers in time for the kids to get off that video chat and head outside. we're going to take a look at our live video in san francisco starts out clear. if you want to have dinner outside we're going to see more clouds moving in with temperatures in the upper 60s. we'll also have to watch out for a slight chance of rain. if you have a covered patio you're good for having dinner outside. we're going to be tracking more

showers moving in as we see this new storm system approaching from the north, so we will start out with the rain chances, mostly in the north bay and along the coastal areas by around lunch time and then as we go into the rest of the day those pop-up showers in time for the kids to go outside and enjoy the rest of the day. as we look at tomorrow still a chance of rain moving in as we are going to see these off and on showers moving through as we go into the next couple of days. unsettled weather continues up until friday. then it all clears out. temperatures head up. saturday is also looking nice. by sunday a new storm system will arrive and it will bring in another chance of rain by the end of the weekend. mike, you've been watching the commute. what's going on this morning? pretty calm, kari. in fact, if we look at the mams, our familiar friend, the arrow shows south 880, has been showing a slowdown for the last month, we're looking over here to the altamont past, the last

five days slowing there and holding coming into livermore out of tracie off the merge with 25. that is a all flavored tobacco products including menthol. city leaders say they block off areas saying adult only so they could sell the flavored products. next, the governor given the go-ahead to reopen restaurants for in-person dining. that's not happening yet in the bay area. coming up, the frustrations of one restaurant owner. plus, live to the north bay to say thank you to health care workers. it's all coming up next. you're watching "today in the bay."

6:57. the governor is giving restaurants the green light to reopen for in-house dining with social distancing rules, of course, including fewer tables, workers wearing masks and with strict cleaning measures. los gatos restaurant owner says she's ready to follow the guide lines but fears the dining experience drastically change. >> it's more than the food, it's the whole dining experience. people come here to gather with
