different. ringo announcing he's taking his 80th birthday party online it's going to be streamed on youtube. it's going to benefit black lives matter, music cares, and water aid. because it's a ringo birthday bash, he's bringing along friends. exclusive from one another. what dr. fauci said, if we're following the trajectory we're currently on and have been observing the past few weeks, we none other than paul mccartney. could easily get to that number >> of course or surpass that number. >> along with at-home as far as what the cdc said in performances and footage from sheryl crow, willie nelson, and their own statement about not being able to control the virus, more this goes back to something you and i spoke about earlier about he said he, quote, called a few this virus potentially and friends. >> i like that cool just ahead, guys, vicky nguyen is going to be along to share an important and timely message on the importance of summer water safety. every single family needs to hear it. but first your local news and weather. and increasingly looking like it's becoming endemic. all of the traditional measures we would use to eradicate it have not worked in the united weather. states in particular for a various of reasons. thus we have the numbers now to kind of make it i won't say impossible to eradicate it with traditional means but difficult to do so. >> that sounds rather hopeless. what does that mean? you just give up or you keep trying to do social distancing and the mask? i mean, i don't know where to even go with that. is it giving up? >> no.

absolutely not giving up. you know, i am not ready to throw in the towel and there are still things that we can do to get through this until we either have better therapeutics or a vaccine. i'll go back to something we've talked about since february or march which is testing. there needs to be a breakthrough in testing to make it very easy. something preferably saliva based where you don't have to poke someone several times per day. test willing allow us to know where we need to focus our energies the most. it will allow us to do that tracing we need to do so aggressively. we need to recruit a contact tracing corp. think of census takers. you don't need to be a doctor to do contact tracing. the earlier we start, the quicker this will be over. if we did all of those things now, we still have an opportunity to control the virus and reduce it greatly. >> and what about masks? we saw yesterday a lot of top republicans, mitch mcconnell,

kevin mccarthy, lamar alexander coming out and saying come on everybody, just wear a mask. will it make a difference? could it really stem the tide? >> you know, i think what good morning. confuses people the most about it's 8:26. the mask has been the i'm marcus washington. well, today is supposed to mark conflicting guidance. a new day for pg&e. i myself even gave some of that guidance in the beginning the utility expects to re-emerge because i was following what we knew from sars. from bankruptcy. and that's what the original that includes appointing new guidance was based on. leadership. and ahead of this, governor overwhelmingly since this newsom signing a bill meant to outbreak has started, we have safeguard californians if pg&e seen that masks both aid in the prevention of the disease and to fails to follow through on those a much more limited extent efforts and fall short ofreform. catching the disease yourself. the senate approving that so masks seem to be the key measure on monday, which public health intervention that we can use in addition to social supporters say will hold the distancing, of course. utility more accountable. a look at that forecast today. but masks seem to be the key kari hall is tracking that. how is it looking out there for intervention that we can use to prevent the spread of the virus us? >> it's going to be a beautiful further. >> all right. day. dr. fair, good to get your we're looking at sunshine and a perspective as always. little bit of a cooldown for thank you so much. some of our microclimates as we check out san jose. >> thank you. one of the spots that will drop also this morning, the trump administration is once again five to ten degrees in some spots. we're looking at some of our defending its handling of reports that russia offered inland areas reaching into the bounties for killing u.s. troops upper 80s. but it will still be hot in the in afghanistan. north bay, in ukiah will reach
