dr. maldonado, epidemiologist with stanford university joins us live. thank you for joining thus morning, dr. maldonado. >> good morning. >> i know for a lot of people herd immunity, talk to us about what that is. >> well, herd immunity is people in a community who have already developed resistance to infection to keep it from spreading to other people who may not have immunity to that disease. it is like a buffer. >> have we seen that work in other infectious diseases? is that where we've seen it before? >> protection against disease and the way you can do that is by getting the disease, getting

sick or getting the vaccine. we don't have another way so we need to stay away from each other as long as the disease is in the community. >> we know herd immunity works but will it work with coronavirus. the theory about former w.h.o. officials that the virus could be seasonal and we could see a drop before we get a vaccine. what does that look like? >> it's hard to know. four of them are normal cold viruses and they do come every year and we don't build up long lasting immunity. reexposed and reinfected. >> a lot of unknowns with this virus.

"the examiner" is the first media outlet to report the san francisco district attorney is dropping those charges. back in january 19-year-old was accused of threatening his neighbor and resisting arrest. an officer is shown doing what district attorney chesa boudin said resembles what happened to george floyd. after personally reviewing this footage boudin is not pursuing those charges. yesterday boudin proposed a resolution urging the civil service commission to never again hire officers who have a history of excessive force. the history of the officer in this case is unclear but the knee is listed as many of many so-called personal body weapons listed in the use of force policy. >> our priority is not to find

out about people's dirty laundry but to make sure people with that dirty laundry don't come to serve. >> reporter: it's the use of force in george floyd's killing that inspired hundreds of protesters to come out in a neighborhood where you don't typically see big protests. they are walking from slope to lincoln ave. they have come out saying that this is another example of boudin once again siding with criminals. now if boudin's proposal passes, it could be in effect within the next couple of weeks. in san francisco, jackie ward, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, jackie. well, plans are now in place for a series of viewings and memorials to remember george floyd. the first will take place tomorrow in minneapolis where floyd died at the hands of police. on saturday a viewing and memorial is scheduled near

to a shrine for pope john paul ii and that brought the ire of the catholic archbishop in the area who called the trip baffling and reprehensible. the president is also getting pushback from his own party as well. senator tim scott from south carolina said if your question is, should you use tear gas to clear a path so the president can have a photo-op, the answer is no. >> mounted police have been coming down the street. you will see them in the frame now using flash bangs in front of them and mounted police to clear what has been an entirely peaceful protest. not 98%, not 99%, but 100% peaceful protests here today. people throwing -- there was no throwing of water bottles. there was no throwing of objects. but a short time ago mounted police officers -- >> this is the clearing of the park just before the president's photo-op. park police insist they didn't

use tear gas but did use chemical irritants, flash bangs, and horses. that wasn't enough for the arlington, virginia, police department which has pulled its officers away from protecting the white house saying its officers were put in a compromising position that endangered their health and safety and that of the people around them for a purpose not worthy of our mutual aid obligations. now the white house has seized on the park police statement that they didn't use tear gas. president trump has tweeted several times that the police didn't use tear gas when they used the horses, the chemical irritants and the flash bangs. congressman steve king has lost his republican primary in iowa. that means at the end of the term he's out. he lost support of his party and was stripped of all committee assignments after defending white supremacy. a years long record of making racially intencenssensitive com. rod rosenstein testifies today. we'll be tweeting about that. you can find me on twitter @scottmcgrew.

>> thanks so much, scott. 6:51 right now. taking a peek outside overlooking san jose, a clear start to our day. but, be warned, today should be the hottest day of the week in a lot of places in the bay area. some areas in the south bay, in fact, inland seeing temperatures in the triple digits. a little taste of summer although we're still in spring. we are and it will be a hot day. temperatures will ramp up quickly as we take a live look outside in walnut creek, nearing records in a few spots like concord where we may match the record of 102 degrees. we did set a record yesterday. we may do it again today and also in oakland it looks like we'll be above that record high of 85 degrees. we get a look at our microclimates and where we're headed today expect it to reach 99 degrees today in napa. oakland today once again into the upper 80s. san jose reaching 96 and 100

degrees in livermore today. this intense heat, the good news it doesn't last long. we're going to cool off as we go into the weeken o showers furthe north. yes, we're still tng month of j. and so we're going to see this coming in along with a couple of storms just to our north but we'll also see high pressure building next week. as we watch storms to the north there will be another storm we'll be watching across parts of the gulf and bay of campeche. this will be tropical storm cristobal that will drift over the gulf, and then we'll see where it goes. there's a possibility it could move into some gulf states going into next week. as we look at our temperatures we are once again here in the bay area going to deal with a really hot couple of days and then it comes down nicely for the weekend, but some gusty winds will start to pick up on friday and continue into saturday. how is it looking now for the commute, mike? kari, for this view of this
