richmond's mayor says it will impact that city harder than others because richmond doesn't have a level of reserves that a lot of cities have. he said richmond will be left with about 30% less revenue they they anticipated. >> i am thinking it would be about two years before we really recover and get back to normal. >> the mayor says he had a lot of great projects and plans he wanted to pursue to move the city of richmond forward. he has two years left on his term and now he expects to spend them helping the city recover from the impact of this pandemic. >> meanwhile, the bay area's reputation as a biotech research hub is proving to be a valuable asset to ramping up covid-19 testing. an east bay laboratory has stepped in to help. david louie shows us how robots were enlisted improve test accuracy, and he joins us live working from home. david. >> kristen, robots, as you probably know are being used for surgery guided by human hands. they're also very adept at doing repetitive chores. that's how one company is using them to develop a better covid-19 test kit. the company, a biotech compa

it's a pleasure to be back in richmond. as i was preparing this talk, i kept noticing how many times i was talking about richmond. during a very different time period. when john first talked to me about this program, one of the things i decided i really wanted to think about with you today is the changing role of military history in the field of civil war studies. it actually -- it works quite nicely with the book, because i kind of have a foot in each camp, if you will, with kind of how i designed the book and wrote it that is true to my roots as a military historian. it's why i went to graduate school. it's what i've been doing for the last few decades here. but it is also about bringing in other fields and how it is sometimes difficult is what i want us to think about today to benefit from so many other fields that are becoming very interested in military history and civil war military history in particular and yet also understand the importance of remaining true to the core principals of military history. that's what i

and chp said it happened at 12:18 on westbound interstate 80 east of richmond parkway and chp said thear was shooting in one car was shot twice but the driver wasn't injured. it is unclear if he was targeted or what the motive might be. >>> we are learning that a north richmond church was issued citations for easter sunday, the contra costa county sheriff's office got reports of a gathering at the all nations church of god in christ on york street near the richland parkway sunday morning police say about 40 people where they are not wearing masks and ignoring social distancing directions. the deputy issued a certain a misdemeanor violation for violating health officer orders. now let's switch gears, the all- important weekend is here and rosemary is standing by with the forecast and it might be a little wet and cloudy.>> and a little cool and breezy frank, it will be nice to be indoors all in all. we have clouds overhead at this hour and not expecting a whole lot of change going into the next few days this is a look at storm tracker two, the radar not giving much in the way of rainfall

and a massive church fire in richmond.ll hear from the church's pastor describing getting the call. >>> good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on 2. i'm dave clark. >> good morning, i'm gasia mikaelian. let's talk about getting you outside but still saying at least six feet apart from others. steve paulson is talking about a forecast i think we're going to like. >> if you saw sal's last hit there, showing the golden gate bridge, it was sunny. the clouds are clearing here as we go into the next couple days, all the way to about saturday or so. more sunshine today, and looking at 42 and 52 santa rosa to san francisco. still cloud cover but looks like breaks in the clouds starting to form. low clouds reroading as we go from northwest to only be near average. if that system was coming in, i would say, get ready for rain, but it's going to portland and seattle, not here. we're above average today and tomorrow. sal, is 880 finally better and moving? >>> it is. they have picked up the road work and everyth

i grew up outside of richmond. and whenever i went to richmond and i had to travel up monument avenue, i had to deal with those monuments there. and even as a child, i wondered what they were all about. and then as i got older and i realized that they were memorials to men who had fought a war that was intended to keep my people enslaved, it became very difficult for me to appreciate it from any kind of artistic perspective or historical. and so, as a person of color, i don't think that it's enough to contextualize because people are not going to stop and read what's on a plaque if it's on a monument, it's on monument avenue or some other place. i say remove them, take them down, put them in a museum, and contextualize them there. i don't believe in destroying history, but history doesn't have to be in my face all the time, and it's early doesn't have to be on public lands that i am helping -- my taxes are helping to pay for. if it's in someone's home, it's on someone's personal property, that's their business. but

does the baker richmond have any sort of forecast at this point?nprecedented, a forecast is silly to do. what i try to do is look at the numbers, to get some perspective on it. restaurants and bars in this country employ 12 million people. physical retail, excluding food and drug, another 11. travel and leisure, another five. we know those sectors have been hit pretty hard. we can get to 30 million pretty quickly. i don't think numbers like 10, 20 million are out of the pale. mike: what are ceos, mom-and-pop in yourelling you about district, about the conditions they see? i divide them into three buckets, the service industry -- there is a lot of emotion there. a lot of cases, really good, viable businesses have been shut down in the pursuit of a public health solution. they have hope. in particular, a number of them are applying to this new small business loan program, but they don't know for sure if they are going to get the money, how long it will last, whether the money will bridge them. there is a lot of sadness there, a lot of emotion in that

no, you're at ground zero for come memtive effects in richmond. you have more of the confederate land xa landscape than anywhere else in the united states. many of the questions that the civil war seems to be working differently now, they remain present in some form. we still talk about a lot of the same things. relative power of the central government. what can states do? what can the central government do? they would have said order a bi-racial society. we say multiracial society in a way that is equitable for everybody and so forth. the last in my four things, i think americans should know is that 12 years of reconstruction function is a long code to the war itself. again on a clear central issue. how ten former confederate states would return to the reconstituted union. tennessee's exempted for the most part from reconstruction and how that process would effect freed people in terms of their political rights and in terms of the questions of social and legal equality. how is it -- and those are tieded together. how the former confederate states
