4:32 am
few minutes. mike, any problems for early morning commuters? >> there's a difference. it's not a problem. we're looking at the san mateo bridge our shot from hayward. on the right the sign lit up talking about high winds for the last few mornings and this morning it is not lit up. that's good news, one set of lights fewer we have to keep track of. eastbound the overnight roadwork looks like it cleared like the 8:00 approval they had for the crew and a smooth flow of traffic, even out of the altamont, very little brake tapping going on. of course that will build. we'll track it. back to you. >> thank you, mike. this morning emotions are running high following the leaked supreme court opinion suggesting the high court plans to overturn abortion rights. >> people rallied in march including san francisco, oakland and washington, d.c. these are just a few of the

4:34 am
>> reporter: sky ranger shows the much larger crowd at a separate demonstration, this one outside the city's federal building,s message clear and strong. >> it's terrifying thinking about what women have done to try and make abortions happen for themselves, and that's the thing when you ban abortions you're not stopping abortions. you're stopping safe abortions. >> reporter: if the draft of an opinion by justice samuel alito written in february becomes the court's decision it would give states the right to decide whether to allow abortions, something that sits well with bay area republicans. >> i think it's a step in the right direction for the country. this is a complicated issue of abortion and really i think it should be decided on the community level as locally as possible. >> reporter: president biden slamming the court's leaked draft opinion. >> if this decision holds, it's really quite a radical decision. i hope there are not enough votes for it. >> reporter: democrats vowing abortion rights will remain
4:35 am

4:36 am
could have been a lot worse. i want to you take a look. >> make some noise for hip-hop history. >> a closer look, the man rushing on the stage last night, tackling chapelle during that performance. police later said the attacker was armed with a replica gun that could also eject a knife blade. they're not certain if the man used the weapon. guards quickly caught and subdued the fan who was later loaded into an ambulance we saw. chapelle was not hurt and he later returned to the stage. >> that is scary stuff. turning now to the latest on the pandemic and covid cases beginning to rise. all nine bay area counties are in the cdc's high level of covid transmission, that means counties are seeing an average of 100 new cases each day per 100,000 people. statewide we're averaging about
4:37 am
4,000 new cases each day, which is up from about 2,800. the average one month ago. we should note it's also far lower than the number of cases we saw during the winter surge which hit a record of 112,000 new cases a day. this new data comes as south bay high school is dealing with an outbreak and making changes to its school guidelines because of the outbreak. >> los gatos high school sent in exposure notice to pretty much all students there. "today in the bay's" ian cull has a story you'll only see here on nbc bay area. >> reporter: officials are trying to stop a spike in covid cases. in the past two weeks, at least 65 students and nine staff members have tested positive. >> despite what might be happening nationally, we're seeing a local increase especially at our school. >> reporter: principal kevin buchanan says the increase came after spring break so they're ramping up testing again and strongly encouraging mask use. >> we moved our drama program outside to avoid any spike or

4:39 am
especially when there is a big spike, we want to do that more frequently and maybe have everyone rapid testing daily. >> reporter: that's what samuel mack is doing to stay safe. >> i get tested as often as i can. keep the mask on, sanitize, wash my hands. >> reporter: ian cull, "today in the bay." >> all right, from possible changes regarding covid, possible changes coming to your twitter feed. ahead on "today in the bay," the new sweet from elon musk hinting at a big makeover. if you're avoiding the plan upgrade, one phone carrier will increase your phone bill because of it. the reason for the price hike ahead for you. >> me? >> you better stick around. we'll be right back. you're watching "today in the bay."
