we have cops, of course, last summer there was quote unquote, protests in most major cities. by the way, i don't think anything was actually resolved, but there is no protest this year. i wonder why it looks like it was 2020 funded. so what we know now is our cities are hell holes where people are shot, you mentioned a 6 year old girl killed. that's only one example 70 people shot over the weekend in chicago. the people in charge of those cities are largely white liberal democrats. some blacks, but we didn't say what was happening there, destroying our people. they're letting them die. the connection is clear when you allow lawlessness and say you're going to deep on the police. you know what happens? good cops, quit and bad cubs find other ways to do things that aren't so nice. so, you know, what i would say is in every major city, disband the cops and start again with especially that those the unions and start again, but don't be fund them. just get rid of the mostly the liberal democrats who are in charge. well, and that's also politicians, robert, i'm going to respond to t

you look at what san francisco is doing and even our communities of color compared to any other major city in this country, there no comparison. we did a really great job. we need to do more because what's important to me is saving lives as it has been since the beginning of this pandemic. we'll continue to push messages and get people engaged. nothing is better than a direct conversation with someone you know and love. not an argument, a conversation. not necessarily making people feel guilty or bad but helping them understand. it's really about a relationship of trust. a lot of people i contacted and talked to in my family, a lot of times it turned into an argument. the fact is i love them and want to keep them safe. i get someone on the phone and explain that variant thing you talked about. it's doing our part to get our relatives vaccinated and protect our community. any data about what? >> : the question was about are we seeing any vaccinated people testing positive for covid 19. the bottom line is if you're vaccinated, the vaccines are very powerful in preventing hospitalizations and

san francisco is the first major city in the u.s. have more than 80% of its residents with at least one vaccine dose. as for people still looking to book an appointment for a vaccine. the city will continue distributing doses through several health clinics. pharmacies and mobile sites. state health officials have updated the mask requirements for k through 12 students. so starting this fall, every student must wear a mask indoors. students who refused to wear one and not have an authorized exemption will not be allowed on campus under the new guidance school should offer alternet educational opportunities for those who are barred from campus mass will be an option in all outdoor settings on campus. we've posted those full guidelines on our web site over at kron 4 dot com. coming up next on the kron 00:00am morning news the mlb all-star game is tonight. >> that's to tough with a home run derby. we're live in denver where the excitement is building. >> well, welcome back to the kron 4 morning news at time for you now. 4.42 and john was

london, the major cities, cities like liverpool, manchester, classical cities like york, bath, 0xford in the summer. therefore, to have a second summer and another winter where tourism is very slowly coming in is not going to be easy at all. mental health is a problem, and financial problems definitely that we have been hearing about. one thing is that blue badge tourist guides were formed for the festival of britain, 1991. this year, it is an anniversary and we aren�*t able to guide. there is some hope on the horizon — talk of travel being able to go ahead a little bit more readily especially for those with both doses of vaccination. that may take effect later on in the summer if it happens. does it give any kind of hope? is it too late in the season to make a difference? i think most of us will agree that this season or this summer season, really, there will be very little. we are looking towards having perhaps bookings from autumn through to winter but we have one big problem thatis but we have one big problem that is looming now on the horizon for us — come 0ctober, anybody who is
