it feels like we've heard this story, told this story many times. the coronavirus crisis has taken another staggering turn for the worse. more than 77,000 new cases were reported yesterday. that beats the old one-day record by nearly 10,000. the daily death toll is rising, too, as more than 900, including a record number 156, that was in florida. >> meanwhile, the national debate over wearing masks is intensifying as large parts of the economy remain at a standstill. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is at the port of miami where cruise ships are staying at the dock for now. david, for how much longer? >> through september 30th, anthony. the cdc is the one that issued a no-sail order. you mentioned the masks. from being here for the last two or three weeks, there's a lot of people walking around here that are not wearing masks. and in talking to business owners and political leaders, a lot of them are asking each

sgain tass. >> how frightened were your parents? >> my mom, this has been her worst nightmare since i'm on the front lines and work with people with covid. she's been so scared for me. >> it's become a very personal and unfortunate experience. >> reporter: dr. melendez, who also recovered from covid, says emotions run high for patients, their loved ones, and the doctors and nurses on the front lines. >> you know, i think you can imagine that all of us cry every day. every day they cry and they're angry. >> reporter: dr. melendez says that six nurses that he's worked with have died of covid. and he says in his hospital, they're doing the best they can to make more beds available for those coronavirus patients. gayle, a very sad situation down there in the valley. >> i'll say, janet. the doctor, i think, puts it in perspective when he says it's very different when you have to put your next-door neighbor, your best friend's mom in a body

bag. i don't know what it's going to take for people to understand how serious this is. you have just seen what's happening in texas and florida. now we're told the white house coronavirus task force has recommendations for stricter measures in those and other states. an unpublicized report recommends 18 states should close their bars and gyms in impacted counties and ask residents to wear a mask at all times when you're outside of your house. weijia jiang is at the white house. when did the task force get this information? good morning to you. >> good morning to you and good morning to everybody. this latest report was dated for this past tuesday. but we know that the document was first prepared for coronavirus task force and has reportedly been shared at this point with the federal government. dr. deborah birx who has referenced earlier versions of it says it is updated weekly and shared with governors, many of from are dealing with devastating spikes in cases.

hastape more rescue the economy and to protect the health of our people. >> reporter: as president trump praise e praised his administration's response to the pandemic, maryland's republican governor, larry hogan, gave him a blistering review. >> i think those are some of the biggest mistakes that the president made throughout this pandemic, and that was not following the advice of the experts, the doctors, the scientists. >> reporter: hogan also wrote a scathing essay claiming that the president was more concerned about boosting the stock market or his re-election plans. the criticism comes as a white house document dated tuesday shows 11 states are in the red zone for having more than 10% of test results come back positive. and as a new report from the cdc confirms the virus had been spreading widely in new york city, by the time the trump administration imposed travel restrictions from europe.

masks. >> we've really got to almost regroup, call a time-out. we've got to get our arms around this and we've got to get this controlled. >> reporter: facebook is often a source of misinformation about the coronavirus. the platform announced it's launching a new section to set the facts straight about covid-19. cbs news learned dr. fauci and the president spoke by phone earlier this week. their first conversation in a month and a half. anthony? >> weijia jiang at the white house, thanks. russia is denying stunning allegations it is trying to steal research on a coronavirus vaccine from western countries. charlie d'agata tells us how a leading covid vaccine in clinical trials in oxford, england, may have been targeted by some familiar hackers. >> reporter: intelligence agencies say the hackers have been at it for months, trying to steal vital vaccine research. finally, the british government said enough.

>> i think it's important to call it out because we're not going to wait until there is harm. it's clearly wrong. contrary to international law. >> reporter: targeting labs and medical facilities in the uk, u.s. and canada. identifying the group as apt-29 for advanced persistent threat, code name cozy bear. the former director gchq robert hannagan. >> let's be clear. these aren't common criminals. we're talking about state-backed hackers? >> they are state-based actors and very often they are people in state agencies under a different name. so there's a direct link betwee state. >> reporter: cozy bear has been accused of hacking into the dnc and stealing emails ahead of the 2016 election. both the nsa and british agents say the group is almost certainly an arm of moscow's intelligence services. russia is suffering from one of the worst covid outbreaks in the

world. plenty of incentive to find a vaccine and pull off inatl coup th kremlin has denie wrongdoing and as any vaccine will be shared worldwide, one russian pharmaceutical ceo said, why would we steal what's going to be given to us anyway? now these hacking allegations come at a critical time. important developments about the oxford vaccine are about to be made public. british officials won't say whether important information has been stolen, but they insist no damage has been done. tony? >> charlie d'agata in london, thank you. we're also covering this morning a new report claiming sexual harassment and verbal abuse were common in the front office of washington's nfl fran "the washington post" found 15 women making allegations against executives on that team. the news follows a decision to retire the team's controversial nickname. nikole killion is at fedex field in landover, maryland. good morning. how long do these women say the harassment has been going on or

had gone on? >> well, tony, these women say the allegations spanned from 2006 to 2019. and they suggest that this was widespread across the organization. one woman coming forward is emily applegate, a former mar t marketing coordinator who said she was berated by her boss so often, it brought her to tears. >> it really took most people no time to comment on my appearance. >> reporter: emily applegate is one of 15 women who spoke to "the washington post," describing a culture of sexual harassment and verbal abuse by former members of the washington nfl team's front office. >> i was so embarrassed that i was being treated that way in front of people. you know, like, if you get called stupid so many times in front of somebody, that's really embarrassing. >> reporter: five ex-employees, some we s yder's inn c accused of inappropriate language and unwanted sexual

advances. in one snarninstance, an employt an email asking if her breasts were real or fake. he allegedly told the same employee, i want to squeeze your butt. >> sexual harassment has just been common place in that office for upwards of 10 or 15 years. >> reporter: reporter will hobson broke the story. >> they are subjected to unwanted overtures, inappropriate remarks about, you know, certain body parts. and then also that in the sales staff, women have been encouraged to dress low-cut blouses, tight skirts and heels. >> reporter: one of the officials named veteran pl play-by-play announcer larry michael. >> he was caught on a hot mic speaking in a sexual manner about a college-aged intern. >> reporter: alex santos was dismissed. six former employees and rters aled

eir bond asked if they were romantically interested in him. in a statement to the post, the team said it takes issues of employee conduct seriously. it has also retained a prominent d.c. law firm to conduct a thorough, independent review and help the team set new employee standards for the future. what does this mean for dan snyder and his organization? >> this football team is at a o women who are skeptical that the culture can truly change. >> owner dan snyder has not been accused of inappropriate behavior. head coach ron rivera told espn that he will not allow such behavior, and the team is working to create a new culture. we did reach out to some of the former personnel named by the accusers but have not heard back. the nfl, however, is speaking this morning saying the allegations are contrary to its values and pledged to take action when the team's

investigation is over. gayle? >> well, they've got a new coach who makes it clear he'll not tolerate that kind of behavior. thank you

victim to come to court that day. >> they dressed her in a disguise, brought her to the courtroom. she sat there for an hour and a half in the presence of mr. long without identifying him. when long's name was called, she identified him as the person who assaulted her and she later testified that she selected him because he looked most similar to her attacker of all the people who were present in the courtroom that day. >> reporter: but the victim had originally described her attacker as a lightsly not. and while a shoe print found outside the victim's home had a similar tread, it could not be matched to shoes owned by long. there was also clothing, including a black leather coat, found in long's car that looked like what the rapist wore. >> it was a ubiquitous ece of clothing for black males at the time in part bse the "shaft" had come out a few years

coronavirus. >> first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. the coronavirus has taken another turn for the worst. more than 77,000 new cases yeda niol debate over wearing masks is intensifying. large parts of the economy remain at a standstill. business owners and political leaders, a lot of them are asking the same question, are we going to go through another shutdown? >> a new report claiming sexual harassment and verbal abuse in the front office of washington's nfl franchise. >> these women suggest this was widespread across the organization. russia is deny can go allegations it is trying to steal research on a coronavirus vaccine from western countries. >> british officials won't say whether important information has been stolen. they insist no damage has been done. >> a little boy injured while protecting his sister from a dog attack is getting a very special surprise. >> what you did was so brave, so

selfless. your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. your parents must be so proud of you. i'm going to track down your address and send you an authentic captain america shield, because pal, you deserve it. keep being the man you are. we need people like you. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." you're right. we do need people like you. anthony, listen, i'm the oldest of four girls. my whole life i wanted an older brother, i thought they protect you. you know something about having an older brother. i love this story. >> when they watched the video, she said you can take that shield with you anywhere. and he said, i don't think that's a good idea. >> yes. i love the story. i love it. brotherly love. nothing like it, i would imagine. we're going to begin with the fight against the coronavirus. it's had another major setback with the u.s. shattering the record for daily cases.

john hopkins university researchers say more than 77,000 cases were reported yesterday alone, and that breaks the previous record set one week ago by nearly 95 00. anthony? >> it's also more than double the number of daily cases from april in the middle of the original co-vid surge. florida texas and south carolina also reported their highest daily death tolls of the pandemic yesterday. >> georgia governor is suing the atlanta city council and the mayor to block the city's mask mandate. the suit claims the mayor overstepped her authority after kemp issued an executive order wednesday barring local governments from announcing mas. there are at least 15 local inee mandated face coverings. the mayor of atlanta joins us. she's been under quarantine at home after announcing she tested positive for the virus earlier this month.

mayor, good morning to you. your state is in the middle of a fight againsts, and now also a fight between goor and yourself. 's goingn here? >> it's odd the governor filed this lawsuit on july 1st, the city of savannah through the mayor instituted a mask order. on july 8th, the governor's hometown instituted a mask order. it was not until we instituted a mask order in atlanta, and i pointed out that donald trump violated the order when he landed at our airport and did not wear a mask that the governor filed suit against us. so it is very clearly that -- it's clear that the governor is putting politics over people. and i joined several mayors across our state who will continue to enforce our mask mandate, and we will have to fight the governor about this in court. >> are you saying that president trump encouraged governor kemp

to issue this lawsuit? >> i can't speak to whatever conversations that they had, but i do know that our governor is a trump loyalist, and he seems to work very hard to please the president of the united states, and that is often at the expense of the people in our state. and we've seen that. this is the same governor who said in the midst of this pandemic that he had just learned that this virus could be transmitted by asymptomatic transmission, and so even when he reopened the state, interestingly enough, he did not have the support of the president then, but certainly many of his policies are in lock step with the white house. >> mayor, governor kemp has come around and says he strongly encourages residents to wear masks. why do you have to go a step further and make them mandatory? >> i can't speak to that, because many of the governor's

decisions as it relates -- >> no, but, what i'm asking is -- mayor, what i'm asking is why do you need to go a step further to make masks mand do mandatory when the governor is already encouraging them. >> the reason we need to go a step further is because we need some consistency throughout our city. we have very high numbers in the city of atlanta. and we have business owners who are saying it would be helpful to them if there were consistency throughout the city, and quite frankly, it's very simple. wearing a mask helps stop the spread of this virus. and so we will continue to do everything that we can do to make sure that people are safe. but ironically, even in this lawsuit challenging our mask mandate, he's also challenging advisory voluntary recommendations that we have made to businesses in terms of reverting back to phase one. >> yeah. well, he says you're confusing people. he also says the mask mandate is

unenforceable. you said president trump arrived and violated the mandate. how will you enforce it, and will you pursue the enforcement against the president himself? >> well, the way that we will enforce it is the way we would enforce any city ordinance. you can issue a citation. you can give people a fine. i'm not going to cite the president of the united states. >> why not, mayor? >> well, one, he's not here now, so we can't give him a ticket if he's not in atlanta. but it was to point out that he was violating the rules of our city, in a blatant disregard for the science. right in our backyard, we have the cdc, emory university that said wearing a mask will help stop the spread of this virus, and yet, governor kemp went to a small university in our state to get the opinion that he wanted. >> i think you could probably locate the president if you wanted to hand him in citation,

but i'm curious about the perspective of businesses. the governor says he's bringing the lawsuit on behalf of businesses and people looking for jobs who want to stay employed. what's your response so that? do you think the mandatory mask requirement and your rollback to phase one hurts the economy there in georgia in. >> absolutely not. our recommendations going back to phase one were advisory voluntary recommendations. and so to be sued based upon the issuing voluntary advisory recommendations really is just a waste of taxpayer money in our state. we don't have appropriate contact tracing. we don't have adequate testing in our state. i personally waited eight days for results, and by the time i got my results, when i was tested, it was one person in my household he was asimple at theic and positive. eight days later myself and my

husband were then positive covid-19 and my husband being very ill. i think a better use of taxpayer money is to expand testing and contact tracing in our state and not to waste it on suing me personally and our atlanta city council personally because we're trying to save lives in our city. >> do you think the governor's position is costing lives? >> i absolutely think that's costing lives. >> you think the governor's position is killing people in georgia? >> absolutely. we have over 3100 georgians who have died of covid-19. i believe our numbers as of yesterday were over 130,000 who have tested positive. many are senior citizens. many are in minority communities, and so i think that rnor hashe e reckless as the disregard science as the governor has done, then certainly people are suffering and people are dying in our

state. and our numbers are rising at a record rate. >> all right. mayor, thank you for being with us. we wish the best of health to you and your family. ahead, we explain how

about stepping up to help her hard-hit community. ♪ >> we are the epicenter of the epicenter.

we had lines of people -- there were like 2,000. >> assemblywoman catalina cruz, who is an angel in her neighborhood. maria elena salinas will anchor the special on sunday. she's with us from miami. good morning. why are latino communities especially vulnerable tohis vir? >> good morning. good to talk to you.em, of cour. latinos are more prone to get diabetes and heart disease. there's also the cultural factor which is many multigenerational families are latino. they live in small spaces. but sometimes it prevents them from being able to social distance. the main factor is that they are essential workers that are out there keeping the economy going. and they're doing jobs that cannot be done from home. and that's probably one of the things that exposes the latino community more to this virus. >> so what can government officials do to help? >> well, we're not seeing much

help from the federal government or from state governments with the possible exception. california. that's why you see people, local politicians just like catalina cruz, as you saw in this story, national hispanic civic organizations, activists, advocates, philanthropists have really stepped up in the hispanic community to help. they use platforms to advocate, but they also reach into their pockets to be able to create some kind of funds for the latino community. >> does immigration status ultimately affect whether someone can get a test or whether they're actually go to seek treatment? >> well, it shouldn't, but unfortunately it does. it does prevent them. not having the necessary documents, legal documents -- access to health care or to

adequate health care is more complicated. one of the reasons i think also is even though during a global pandemic everyone should have access to testing, to treatment, there is a certain fear among the undocumented community that seeking that help, seeking that access is going to affect them, that, you know, their fear of rejection, fear of persecution. but more importantly, fear of being able to access their documents like maybe losing their opportunity to get a green card. >> there are a lot of families struggling to make ends meet during this pandemic. what practical advice will there be for them in this special? >> this special is not -- does not only talk about the problems that they face but also some of the solutions. and like you mentioned, the onee most imptant on and so many latinos have lost their jobs or lost income and can't afford to pay their rent, can't afford to pay -- to put food on the table.

in this special, we talk to the president and ceo of the u.s. hispanic chamber of commerce who gives practical advice among the advice he gives, you know, prioritize your expenses, don't be afraid to ask, and remind them that a lot of fortune 500 companies failed several times before they had to pick up and become successful again. so there is practical advice. there's a lot of star power also in this special. we have eva longoria, a lot of latino leader in their community, advocates who are stepping up to give advice. and hopefully you will watch and remember that this special is a first one that cbs does with a complete crew of latino reporters, all the journalists in front of the camera are latino, and most that work behind cameras are also latinos. latino power on cbs. >> maria elena celine at, thank you so much.

studio albums and toured the world. she's been busy performing her music on stages from the sydney opera house to the grand ol' opry. now she's out with a haunting new song called "everybody cries" featured in the new movie "the outpost" about a battle in afghanistan. ♪ everybody cries everybody dies ♪ ♪ it's the truth that makes us one♪ it's the cen of our sun ♪ ♪ as we take the lonely path ♪ ♪ on the road to the edge of man ♪ >> oh, boy. rita wilson joins us now. rita, it's really good to see you. there's a line in the song that goes, and you co-wrote this song, who will be -- >> good to see you, gayle. >> nice to see you. who will be the last to remain when there's only god and pain. that's the line that got to me.

i think the song is haunting and it's based on the movie "the outpost" based on a book by jake tapper, which is a true story. put it into perspective why this song works so well with this movie. >> well, you know it's based on a true battle in afghanistan. where eight servicemen lost their lives. and at the same time, the director of the film, rob lurie, lost his son. andhinkwacod sort of have this idea that there would be a song in the movie that the soldiers could sing. and i think he was very, very connected to all of that when he was making the movie. it happened while he was making the movie, which was absolutely tragic. a parent's worst nightmare, basically. the clip is -- the song is used in the movie a couple of times

and also at the end credits of the movie over the faces of the actual servicemen who lost their lives in that battle. >> but i'm thinking about you, rita wilson. you'veotut at ot goingon thsame t "everybody cries," "where's my country song" and "when is this over." "where's my country song" is described as a love letter to women. describe that to us. i love the lyrics of this one, too. >> you and i, gayle, share a love of country music. that is definite. i sent you something the other day that we love. but it's really, to me, in country music, i think sometimes females and women are idealized. and i started looking at all the women that i know that are single parents or women like my mom who raised kids and had a family but didn't ever have a traditional job.

and then i also was thinking about the women we come in contact with all the time. sometimes we see and sometimes we don't see. those are the women behind the scenes, women who might work in factories or warehouses or agriculture or any of that. so, to me, i started thinking about those women and sometimes they don't get the spotlight shone on them in a way that's important. without women like that, where would we be? everybody has to be valued and everybody has to be appreciated. so many of the front line workers are women, too. that is very, very important. >> yep. so, the thing -- this is what i was really excited about, though, rita. it's the latest one called "when this is over" with you and jimmy allen. i'm late to the jimmy all y lik him. >> isn't he amazing? >> i don't know if it was written for covid -- oh, he is. he is. he's one of the few black people

in country music. he caught my eye with that and then i heard his voice and i went, whoa. >> and he had -- i heard his voice before i even knew who he was or what color he was. i just responded because he was so good. and he reached out to me to participate on this song. and it was such an honor because i was already a fan. and i think - i believe the album is the number one on country or getting to be number one or country or something. but it's doing really well. he has a number of black artists on the album, too. charlie pride is on there, darius rucker, a young artist, mickey giten, a young -- >> we just had her on recently. >> and torin wells. >> this is the thing about -- >> mickey? >> we just had her on. i don't know if it's about covid or just going through hard times. one lyric says, i hope these

hard times make me better, not just older, when this is over. when we introduced you earlier, you said actress, singer, covid survivor. so, i really want to bring people up to date about how you're feeling. because you've been through it. you've been through it. >> well, i am a covid survivor. yes, i'm very, very, very happy. and very healthy, thankfully. i think that part of the thing that i feel so grateful for is that we still have antibodies. eyre testing it. study at bloo what i have learned is even though we have antibodies, that they will diminish over time. so, you don't know if you're going to be contagious again or you can even get the virus again. there's still so much to figure out. but right now we're still kind of -- we have some immunities and we're doing okay.

we still practice what we would practice wearing a mask even though we are maybe safer than the general public. i just think it's important to do it because we really don't know. there's so much we don't know. >> yeah, you know, tom weighed in the other day. he was on stephen colbert. i really want to get your take on the mask wearing. it has become such a political issue, such a hot-button potato in this country. which just drives me nuts because the evidence shows it clearly saves lives but you hear people say, you can't tell me what to do. it's not my right. this is the thing, rita, the maf mask is uncomfortable. what do you say to that as someone who's been through covid and know what it can do? >> well, i would say that i don't understand something that's so easy to do has become an issue or something that people are coming up against.

to me, it's like brushing your teeth twice a day because it's good for your health and we do that, so why wouldn't you wear a mask because it's good for your health? it doesn't make sense. >> you know what i say -- >> and someone gets sick -- what? >> you know, the uncomfortable, but you know what else is uncomfortable? dying. let me ask you this, there's a beetles song that says, will you still need me, will you still feed me when i'm 64. tom hanks the other day did a video about i'm 64, will you still need him, will you still feed him now that he's 64? >> well, i think he's 64 and 10 days old, or something like that. i don't know what the date is today. but i still so far, when i looked at my watch this morning, i still loved him and needed him and i will feed him because soon it's breakfast time. got to eat something. >> all right. tell him we said hey.

congratulations, rita. congratulations. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. thanks to everyone for listening to the music, too. i really appreciate it. >> all right. stay safe. the delay is really hard. if we seemed a little off it's because we're on a big de for the sweaty faces,

and the hidden smiles. the foggy glasses, and the muffled laughs. a simple piece of fabric makes a big statement: i care. wear a mask. let's all do our part to slow the spread. > in our series "the new

normal," we look at how the pandemic is dramatically changing our everyday lives. this morning, we're focusing on the world of live musical. concerts, tours, and music festivals around the world have been called off over fears of spreading the coronavirus. now music promoters and venues are experimenting with new ways to provide live entertainment in a socially distanced way. as mark strassmann shows us, you don't even have to leave your car. all right, you guys going to crank up your skies a little bit? you want to get loud? >> reporter: singer/songwriter andrew mcmahon had never seen a concert like the one he headlined in anaheim, california. ♪ this soldout drive-in show was his first live performance in months since cosronavirus took center stage. >> looking at the sea of cars rather than people crammed in tight is a new visual. you know, i was laughing when people got excited during the

show. there were horns honking and stuff. i think people are missing being in a space -- and feeling connected. >> reporter: socially distanced entertainment. it's one solution for an industry hit by the virus and fighting to survive. anywhere you look, one symptom is unmistakable -- when no one's touring, no one's working. >> you know, 90% of our business is no longer viable right now. >> reporter: david lowell runs sales at music matters, an atlanta production company. 17 of its 20 employees are furloughed. $15 million worth of lightesting and sound equipment has sat collecting dust since march. you really expect business to approach what it was until there's a vaccine? >> you know, it depends on how creative the promoters get. ♪ >> reporter: the world's biggest promoter of live events is livenation. its opening drive-in series last weekend featured country music star brad paisley.s told

us the new normal of concerts could one day include rapid testing of fans. >> that would be ideal. then i think individuals would be -- you know, feel safer and would feel like they would be able to enjoy the experience knowing that, you know, the entirety of the venue was tested. ♪ >> reporter: at mcmahon's three-night show outside the city national grove in anaheim, each car had an assigned parking space. off to one side, a tailgate zone. outside that zone, everyone wore face masks. at the bathroom, there was a temperature check. jordan harding is the venue's general manager. >> we don't want anybody that's coming here to get sick. but ultimately, you know, we've created an environment where people can be contained and safe, socially distanced. we've done the best we can, but we acknowledge that there is some risk involved. >> reporter: to minimize that risk, fans could use a mobile app to order food, drinks, and merch, all delivered right to their parking spot.

>> you literally parked the car and have our blocked off space. so i feel pretty safe. >> we wouldn't go to a concert indoors so this is perfect. ♪ >> reporter: alt rock music often rebels in different ways. the fans conformed. >> they followed the rules. i know that sounds like a crazy thing at a rock and roll show to be like "yay for following the rules," but in this particular case if we want to do this we have to to protect each other and citizens. >> reporter: like rock music, fans have to prove they can adapt. ♪ [ horns ] >> we're calling that the honcore. it may be the only way live music has an encore in covid america. for "cbs this morning," mark strassmann, atlanta.

>> love the honk-core. great to see live music and people out in any form. i love the idea of the merch and beverages delivered to the car. >> i love all of it. if i had a horn now i'd be honking. i hope that sticks around after the pandemic. on our podcast the u.s. editor of "conde nast traveler," that's jesse ashlock, discusses the new normal of travel and vacationing during the pandemic. you're watching "cbs this morning."

that will do it for us. before we say good-bye on this friday -- i don't know about you guys, but this seemed like a long week. as we get ready to scatt to ent l -- ip tnking ere sct eachth maskn and ath.nd s's piecehis hbecome a p

good morning, it's 8:55. i'm len kiese. today governor newsom will give an update on statewide guidance on how and when schools can reopen. meantime, san jose unified says students will not return to classrooms for at least the first six weeks of the fall semester. in san jose, authorities are investigating whether two shootings that sent four people to the hospital overnight are related. three men were shot on kollmar drive and one has life- threatening injuries. and earlier a male juvenile was also shot. his injuries we're told on a grass fire burning in a rural area of livermore. the fire is 60% contained.

the mineral fire off of highway 198 and fresno county has now grown to more than 18,000 acres. it is now 25% contained. and as we jump to the roadways right now, our busiest spot continues to be the eastshore freeway. that's because we had an earlier trouble spot that is long gone. but you can see as you check out our maps it's still a little slow on the westbound side. so if you are making that ride this morning westbound into richmond you will see slower than usual conditions there. the good news is once you head to the bay bridge no troubles there. there's a road closure in effect due to an earlier crash. and investigation eastbound between woodside and wood ranch road. keep that in mind if you are using the roadways in the danville area and the bay bridge, metering lights are off. gianna the normal daytime highs for today. so very similar compared toiled. looking at warm temperatures inland and mild around bay and cooler at the coast. mid 80s for concord and for san jose this afternoon. 73 in oakland and mid 60s for san francisco. the cloud cover retreating back

to the coast today and wa well many people have such a misunderstanding

as to how a reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours. we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property. for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. access your equity. stay in your home. have peace of mind.
