strong aftershocks, 5.4 to 5.0, so we'll continue to monitor that. kari, did you feel anything? >> i didn't feel anything and i was up and sitting at my desk at that time. we can see where the earthquake happened in western nevada. once again, as you said, that 6.2 magnitude earthquake. we are seeing some light shaking in parts of the bay area even with the aftershocks and the people who felt it. as we look at our shake map, a lot of people in the tri-valley as well as san jose felt that but possibly as far away as san francisco. we'll continue to monitor that and, mike, does that have any impact on the morning commute? i'll take it from here, kari. several earthquakes in western nevada this morning and people, as we've been saying, have been feeling it throughout the bay area. you can see right here in tonopah, nevada, is where the

6.4 was registered and so this is something we're monitoring. like we said people have been feeling it throughout the bay area. if you felt it, let us know on twitter. a lot of people posting there this morning. a look at the shake map. parts of the bay area where it was felt. we'll monitor what's going on with this. of course we'll continue to monitor this. laura? also, a big day in washington as lawmakers vote on a massive new relief package designed to try to prop up the economy. this while president trump continues searching for that vaccine. "today in the bay's" tracie potts is live in washington with the very latest on everything that's going on. good morning, tracie. >> reporter: laura, good morning. the $3 trillion vote today the democrats say is necessary, and

republicans are skeptical about what's in it. up for a vote today democrats' $3 trillion plan to save the economy from covid-19. republicans say it's too big. >> so big? it's not as big as their tax scam. >> reporter: opponents say it's packed with things that have nothing to do with the virus. >> the word cannabis appears in the bill 68 times. more times than the word jobs. >> reporter: president trump is planning a midday announcement about the vaccine he's promising by the end of the year. >> i think distribution will take place almost simultaneously because we've geared up the military. >> reporter: a government vaccine expert who claims he lost his job for refusing to back the president's preferred treatment tells congress it will take longer than a year, maybe a year and a half. >> we need a national testing strategy. the virus is here.

time is running out because the virus is still spreading everywhere. >> reporter: dr. rick bright says his warnings were ignored. >> he looks like an angry, disgruntled employee who, frankly, according to some people, didn't do a very good job. >> reporter: meantime the cdc finally released guidelines for reopening public places reportedly blocked by the white house. >> they seem to be pretty vague and watered down. >> reporter: experts say they're useless without more specifics. and the fda is issuing a warning about a couple of things. first of all, they're talking about the rapid test that's happening. we are trying to get more information on that because there's a new study out that shows it's just not producing the results as expected. back to you. >> thank you very much. in the meantime, tracie, cases here in the bay area actually

continue to climb. there are now over 10,000 cases, nearly 400 deaths. alameda county yesterday added up with the most with 56. well, there's new hope this morning when it comes to using blood plasma to treat seriously ill covid-19 patients. "today in the bay's" bob redell following that part of the story. bob, i know this morning the fda also warning about a popular test for the virus. >> reporter: correct, marcus. the fda issuing a warning yesterday that a popular covid-19 test may not be as accurate as once thought. the fda says the point of care test by abbott labs used by hospitals across the country and the white house might be delivering too many false negative results to be considered effective. the test became popular because the company said it could get results within 13 minutes. following other studies the test has come under scrutiny. a small study from nyu said the

abbott test came back with false neglect tifives for almost 50% another test found were positive. the nyu study was not peer reviewed. abbott said the results are not consistent with other studies and the sample size was very small. but the fda says patients tested with the test should be retested with a more sensitive test. in another development, you've heard of convalescent plasma being used to treat covid-19, it's the transfusion of antibody with blood from a healthy person that is put into a sick person. a nationwide study concluded the test is safe, and the treatment is safe. the "today" show spoke with one of 10,000 patients who have received that therapy. >> it felt like i won the lottery. >> it really sounds like almost a miracle.

>> exactly. >> reporter: you can watch that full report on the convalescent plasma therapy on the "today" show at 7:00 here on the nbc bay area. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." also happening today and tomorrow free testing in palo alto. it starts at 9:00 this morning at the ymca on bell street. appointments are required but it's open to everyone. come monday things will look a lot different across the bay area. alameda and contra costa counties are now joining others in phase two of reopening with some stores opening for curbside pickup. those are in yellow. you see it there on the map. sonoma and solano already in phase two, but we've been telling you santa clara county is certainly still holding out. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is following that for us. and really there hasn't been much of a sign that the south bay is going to really join the rest of the county so far,

right, kris? >> reporter: no, and that closed sign is still up. santa clara county is, as we know, one of the hot spots in the bay area with the highest number of cases and the highest number of deaths. santa clara county's covid-19 dashboard which the county said to show people where we are. that seems to be improving. the cases are stabilizing. there are no patients on ventilators. the county's public health officer says, though, that while these numbers look good, they look better on paper, there are still people getting sick in the county and the level of contagiousness is still too high. >> we have exactly the same conditions that we had in march. so that if we did ease up, we would see a brisk return of cases, hospitalizations, and a brisk return of deaths.

>> so as we've been reporting in order to enter into phase two-county officials have to document to the state that they meet a long list of requirements. this is a 12-page application they have to submit to the state that includes no deaths in 14 days. minimum daily testing requirements, contact tracers appropriate for the population number, hospital capacity for a surge and a 14-day supply of ppe. now some bay area counties are meeting those criteria. they have submitted those reports to the state and the governor has green lighted them. you saw that map that laura was talking about, but santa clara county still holding firm at this point. we'll talk more about what it means for the other counties coming up in a half hour. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> you've been hearing a lot about don't move too fast. santa rosa has spent more than $70,000 on hotel rooms to quarantine essential workers like police officers and

firefighters. but "the press democrat" reporting those rooms, all 19 of them, have yet to be used. in april city leaders agreed to spend $100,000 to reserve those rooms. california education leaders are warning that the governor's new proposed budget cuts could certainly affect kids in the classroom, getting them into the classrooms. the governor laid out his new budget plan yesterday. it calls for $4 billion in cuts to education. teachers union says the cuts will make it harder for schools to restart given the need for distancing and other added precautions. still not clear when schools will reopen. we have new details for you now and some of the economic disparity facing some of those trying to just make it in the bay. a newurvey led in part by uc berkeley indicates one in five people here have less than $400 in emergency savings before the pandemic hit and the vast majority are african-american or latino. in the meantime about one-third
