muscles that surround that joint because that will help stabilize it and and keep it in moving around as much and that's what people don't always quite understand. >>and one of the best ways to do that is in the water right. >>right that therapy is one of the best modalities for us to arthritis because you are buoyant in water. so you don't have that joint note and then now they also have have wait well weights that get provide resistance in the water, so you can still strengthen while you're in the water. >>we're looking at this video here where it looks almost some kind of some type of a contraption that's made for the water. >>that's right that is an typically more for water see you can get really good cardio with machines like this not just you know running in place but they have ellipticals even have treadmills that you should you could and bicycles that you could use in the

water. >>i understand that there's also a smaller type of pole that people can use for therapy as well right. >>right there they're difficult therapy pools are difficult to find in the area and not all physical therapy facilities have them. and right now with polls close it really puts the people with us arthritis at that in a bad position so they do have their peoples that you can have your own chair people it's above the ground. it's small it's like in 9 feet by 9 feet. you can actually put it in your garage and you could put it in your and so you have you don't have to worry about a and you have your own you have access to your own their people. at 24 7. >>are those people's he does he did. >>yet you can yes definitely want to you there is a heater that you can buy to go with to keep the water. also sailing

is also an option versus chlorine if you're sensitive to coloring. >>but you know they're not at when you in the big scope of things they're not that expensive there they start around where as you know some of these really expensive bikes are starting at about $2500 so for someone that really needs exercise. this might be a great option for them it sure sounds like karen, thanks a lot for that and we'll have more information on our web site thank you so much karen good to see again you're welcome but i will be right back.

without a tax penalty. you never know what you'll be faced with. please, vote 'yes' on 19. >>i've never seen this before there's an input on the computer that you tested positive for covid this one was a this we can get. >>and he's not the only one that miami of ohio student told the officer that everyone at this party has covid-19 that includes 2 people from across the street. it happened over labor day weekend a group of about 20 or so people just hanging out on the porch listen to music and not a mask in sight. the officer asked why they weren't quarantining the students said the guests were just passing by. but after this incident, someone who lives in the house stopped by the police station and asked to charge anyone who doesn't live there with trespassing. in the end the half dozen people were cited

combination of two immunotherapies that works together in different ways to harness the power of the immune system. opdivo plus yervoy equals a chance for more days. more nights. more beautiful weekends. more ugly sweaters. more big hugs. more small outings. opdivo and yervoy can cause your immune system to attack normal organs and tissues in your body and affect how they work. this may happen during or after treatment has ended and can become serious and lead to death. some of these problems may happen more often when opdivo is used with yervoy. see your doctor right away if you have a new or worse cough; chest pain; shortness of breath; diarrhea; severe stomach pain; nausea or vomiting; dizziness; fainting; extreme tiredness; weight changes; constipation; excessive thirst; changes in urine or eyesight; rash; itching; confusion; memory problems; muscle pain or weakness; joint pain; flushing; fever; or tingling in hands and feet. these are not all the possible side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions including immune system problems, or if you've had an organ transplant or lung, breathing, or liver problems.

smoky haze has been challenging the highs now as far as that fox concern the model says at the surface that will mix out pretty quickly well before noon for the most part but we'll still be left with the haze across the bay area into tonight here comes that fog yet again as we have kind of a trough off of our coastal start mixing process on shore flow a bit. and this bit of unsettled weather will we like talking about that we like it now because we had a lot of stability and it gave us this air 79 going on for 12 o'clock by 3 we're going to be at basically hazy sunshine is what you can expect come take a look at some of that instability coming our way for tomorrow and ahead 40. all right dave. thank you. well the air quality is so bad in contra costa county, it's unhealthy and the health department there recommends that people stay indoors unless absolutely necessary. >>kron four's reyna harvey is live in walnut creek with more on that how does wannacry compared or into where you were last hour rain. >>and marty let me tell you both awful air is bad in both

hold. >>the timing of the walbridge fire could have been worse harvested not yet begun in grapes were still on the vine now they're having to test the grapes and reject those that have a high smoke content but they still think there will be plenty of quality grapes to harvest there's a lot of good food out from different areas in the county and outside city and county them. >>i think is going to produce a great wine so you know i think 2020 could be nick stanich been anything that. >>they put that past local 81 will be of the normal quality standards castle aka winery makes only 5,000 cases a year in any unplanned event like covid-19 wildfires in august. >>is difficult as it is for any small business but even though fire season is just getting underway. the return of visitors is keeping them optimistic and pretty full docket for the next couple weeks which means that people are getting out people are tasting people are not overly worried about the smoke, i'm not worried >>covid not worried and staying home and hunkering

down. >>this winery like many also adapting to the times for those that don't want to come in person, they're also offering virtual tastings online. they say they've really taken off since the beginning of covid-19 in dry creek valley. dan kerman kron 4 news. >>the projections going on here for today after take care of the morning fog or going that hazy sunshine for the afternoon, maybe 79 or so by walk or talk and 89. there is an improvement because of turbulence in the atmosphere have your forecast coming up in just

>>the 14 this saturday morning, good morning, everybody welcome back hope you're enjoying your saturday you gaze outside it looks the same old same old doesn't it. >>a lot of fog and lot of clouds smoke all mixing together to give us unhealthy air dave smart here with the forecast to tell us maybe this might be changing the next couple of days way way you make it sound is going to go back to bed, i don't know not a you know okay so we got the morning fog going on marty is correct on all these counts but today should be a little better than yesterday. >>and upstream we're looking for some wrinkles going on here tomorrow disturbance if you will and we like that ok we like. >>and to upset the atmosphere to get the mixing process here this is what it looks like from the shop musee berkeley east bay shoreline, not totally in view yet that's pretty much the fog working here but upstream we're going to see some. the atmosphere

start to mix a little bit going on tomorrow better skies tomorrow than today and early next week there's a series of these little troughs working their magic. maybe we'll get some drizzle out of that and so forth but the better issue is at least mixing the air mass out so we do see a turn in the corner going on here 50's on the board for the most part got 48 at the santa rosa 64 braniacs 56 san francisco in 64 san jose. and the short term let's take a look at what goes on here is this morning. as you can see that morning marine layer, it comes back though, and straw and strengthens tomorrow there some coastal drizzle out to sea because it's being fortified by little bit of a a trough going on here so that's causing some mixing so tomorrow will look better tomorrow afternoon. then today and the improvement continues on into early. next week too and this makes us out to turn into in theory a mostly sunny day from the standpoint of the weather. however, again whatever smokes left a will come in with that here's the shot in the bay bridge toll plaza still that ground fog so for today morning fog

afternoon hayes in but smoking still tomorrow we see a little bit of an improvement working here because it's an onshore flow starting that familiar on shore flow that means drizzle sprinkles coast wide and the fog should be taken care of in the inland areas by the late morning hours but better yet that starts mixing out some of the smoke and we continue the unsettled pattern into next week. there's a couple more little waves by the middle and latter portion of the week which continue this trend so at least we don't have a high sitting right over head for next week is that would not be what we need now. 71 1 opera san francisco oakland, 77 81 san jose again haze and smoke grill expected air quality can't do too much about that yet but again improving as we go for here's a look at some of the highs going on today, upper 80's far east bay mid-eighties up to the north bay 81 san jose but along the east bay shoreline we still may be able to snag 80 here or there. coming up a little bit not only the 4 zone forecast we'll take a look at some of those longer range forecast models that show you some of the disturbed weather coming

our way. okay day thanks a lot. well, today's game between the giants in the pond raises postponed after major league baseball announced that someone in the giants organization. >>tested positive for covid-19 last night's game was postponed as well and it's unclear who tested positive or if the giants will play tomorrow. a half-dozen mlb teams had including the a's event, someone tests positive for covid-19 this season. california is typical turnaround time for corona spot coronavirus testing has dropped now to less than 2 days. 2 thirds of the test results are now available within one day and nearly 90% within 2 days that's down from as many as 7 business days just last month. state health officials say at this speed they can more effectively isolate and quarantine people who are infected. and the state public health department reported 3,000 new covid-19 cases yesterday and i have 111 more deaths statewide there

are 746,000 confirmed cases and more than 14,000 people have died from the virus in the bay area, those numbers of surpassed 90,000 cases and more than 1200 people have died from coronavirus. a new cdc study found people who contracted coronavirus were twice as likely to have eaten at a restaurant, the restaurant industry of course already suffering so much because of covid-19. so now bay area owners are hoping that strict cleaning and prevention methods will continue to attract enough customers to keep the doors open kron four's ella sogomonian has more on that. >>as the restaurant industry tries to make a comeback amid a pandemic a study by the cdc may serve a potential setback. the newly released report spotted a possible link to an increased risk of infection. 4 people dining out. it found adults who tested positive for covid-19 we're twice as likely to have reported visiting either restaurant bar or coffee shop, both indoors and outdoors within 14 days of

infection compared with those who tested negative lorrie thomas with the san francisco restaurant association says there remains a question one thing that was unclear from that study is is it causation and correlation or there are other things involved is it just go to the. >>to the more willingness to assume risk as an individual but still regardless are big responsibility here is to protect the safety of our staff right first and foremost and to protect the safety of our customers and we know that an outside environment with a lot of mask-wearing and i'm talking about seeded if you're not putting food in your mouth or a drink in your mouth having a mask on is super helpful with that. >>the cdc analysis cautions reports of exposures in restaurants have been linked to air circulation. direction ventilation and intensity of airflow might affect virus transmission. even if social distancing measures and masks are implemented, according to current guidance. masks cannot be effectively worn while eating and drinking. whereas

shopping in numerous other indoor activities do not preclude mask use. restaurants have been trying to lean on deliveries and pickup options but thomas says in may more than 60% strictly operating that way lost money. >>and another 29% were just breaking even and that's not a sustainable business model with no more federal aid coming in thomas said the san francisco chamber of commerce looked at visa and master card data that showed more than 52% of local eateries didn't report any transactions which means they're either temporarily or permanently closed. >>well i was ella sogomonian reporting new york is set to be the first major us city to allow indoor dining and that's scheduled for the end of the month, san francisco of course will be clinton keeping a close eye on what happens in new york in order to collect more data and also to learn what steps to take to ensure safety. so that restaurant industry is not decimated. >>and still ahead this morning, the a's facing the

texas rangers and it was a slugfest in arlington we'll have highlights of all the big flies including an early grand

>>the oakland a's 6 and a half games up in looking to increase their lead even more bob melvin company masking up in arlington texas taking on the rangers four-game set top of the first no score. 3 ducks

on the pond. they call that bases loaded from adelson who knows what to do high and deep to right. wonder which fan caught no one but the u.s. taking early 4 nothing lead on olsen's grand slam. then in the second day's up 5, 3 and sean murphy uses all of schools on this one deep to center 464 feet later, oakland extends its lead a's role 10 to 6 the final. these are meanwhile as we mentioned earlier tie were scheduled to play the padres in san diego. both teams announced that the game would be postponed. and they could be seen on the field kind of waiting the players and managers coaches for the reason. this came from above you know major league baseball was told that there was a positive covid test within the giants organization. and they postpone tonight's game and then minutes later they said they were postponing tomorrow's game as well. mlb

announcing that it was going to provide further details about what's going to happen next in terms of making those games up. and whether sunday's game will be played. keep you posted there. we also mention the forty-niners are hoping the air is good enough it has to be. below 200 to host the cardinals on sunday the niners beat arizona twice last year, but the cardinals they're tough gave the niners some trouble and now. arizona has a revamped roster led by second-year qb kyler murray he'll have some help with the addition of one of the best wide receivers in the league the andrea hopkins. niners coach kyle shanahan knows that this spite. beating arizona twice last year you can't underestimate them. >>i know that excitement is there another guys be ready to go. but you can't lose track of thinking that's all that's going to worry about you got to be locked and there's a lot assignments that you got to do execute the stuff and usually of both teams are playing really hard which i fully

expect. the team that executes federal in their big 3 nba playoffs celtics raptors game 7 eastern conference semifinals win or go home this one close throughout 4th quarter celtics, leading by 7. >>jason tatum with the drive lays it in 29 for tatum under 2 minutes to go now celtics up 6 raptors kyle lowry is so tough it drives it in raptors back within 4. but this right here would be the defining moment of the game. celtics up to norman powell with the drive but marcus smart says. hello norman that would save the game for the celtics who i know it's newman but the celtics beat the raptors, this is a great series 90 to 87 boston wins they advance to take on the miami heat in the eastern conference finals also by the way the denver nuggets one earlier today, forcing a game 6 against the la clippers. over the weekend.

>>gran thanks a lot coming up on the kron 4 morning news will continue to monitor the unhealthy air quality here in the bay area and we'll have everything you need to know as you head out into another day of smoky conditions.

you know how these things start. you try wendy's buy one get one for a dollar breakfast offer, love it and tell a friend. then they tell a friend. and so on and so on and so on. so get to wendy's and get some breakfast! >>it's 8.30 september 12th, let's go ahead and take a live look outside golden gate bridge and boy we are in for more of the same. same smoky conditions and unhealthy air days far as here with the

forecast david's really tired hard to tell what the temperature is because all this yacht isn't this the smoke that's a lot because it's cutting off that solar heating and so therefore it's been a big guess that was the big shocker that we had certainly on wednesday and. thank goodness this is relatively small because the other issue is to noble cain is cause mass extinctions you can see why because the other factor to as you get cutting off of you the radiation don't forget the plants need that in the planned start the train going for type of biology on planet earth okay that's the bay bridge toll plaza here what we see upstream going on. there you have it a little disturbance out to sea that's going to start the air mixing we'd like to hear that ok so we get the air mixing a little bit for tonight tomorrow will be the return of fog and all that nonsense. but we'll probably get some little bit slightly in terms of getting some sun today and better tomorrow and building on that trend as we get into next week even though conditions unsettled that starts that mixing a process 50's off to the east bay here up to the

peoples that you could have your own chair people it's above the ground. it's small it's like in 9 feet by 9 feet. you can actually put it in your garage and you could put it in your and so you have you don't have to worry about a future and you have your own you have access to your own their people. at 24 7. >>are those people's he does he did. >>yet you can yes definitely want to you there is a heater that you can buy to go with to keep the water. also sailing is also an option versus chlorine if you're sensitive to chlorine. >>but you know they're not at when you in the big scope of things they're not that expensive there they start around where as you know some of these really expensive bikes are starting at about $2500 so for someone that really needs exercise. this
