temperatures while san francisco will stay nice and cool, natural air conditioning continues as that fog does not budge from the coast. and, mike, you've been watching all of these issues popping up. how does it look now? well, things are calming down a bit but we have a traffic alert for the peninsula. i'll show you what's going on. the big map shows a great drive for the south bay and most of the peninsula getting up into san francisco. we still have the traffic alert for north 101 approaching paul avenue heading up to bay shore boulevard and 280. bay shore boulevard is an option to get around the area. also, though, the last ten minutes i saw a lot of slowing north 101 north of 380 where the arrow is and i think folks cut over from sfo. so we also had word that a chp escort was going to bring a tow truck. no update yet. that's a slower drive. the bay bridge toll plaza, the backup is forming right now.

"the examiner" is reporting roughly 100 food workers will be cut.

now the paper says that 660 workers who work at both of those venues are also being cut. so what about those working for the a's? back in april that organization established a $1 million relief fund for their concession workers that included those working for third party vendors. no word of how much of that relief fund is still available. so it's not j also the sciences, a company based in san mateo let the state know they were eliminating 470 permanent positions with their company. so across the bay area this pandemic hitting businesses hard and it's hurting some of our local folks. we're live in san francisco, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> cierra, thank you. well, a new time when the state lawmakers say they're fighting the plan that could derail california's testing efforts.
