THE
THE BASE.
THE BASE. FIRE INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT SPARKED THAT FIRE
IN JUST A MATTER OF DAYS. LARGE
PARTS OF SAN DIEGO COUNTY'S
ECONOMY COULD REOPEN EVEN
FURTHER. BUT WITH A COUNTY NOW
NEARING 6000 CONFIRMED CASES OF
CORONA VIRUS, WE'RE SEEING
VARIOUS SAFETY PROTOCOLS TO
PREVENT THE SPREAD OF
THE NUMBERS HERE. AS OF
YESTERDAY, ONE HUNDRED AND TEN
NEW CASES WERE REPORTED MAKING
A TOTAL OF FIVE THOUSAND NINE
HUNDRED AND FORTY SIX IN OUR
COUNTY. TWO MORE PEOPLE DIED A
WOMAN IN HER 70S AND A MAN IN
HIS 80S. BOTH OF THEM HAD
UNDERLYING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
WE'RE TOLD. THE GOOD NEWS
THOUGH THERE IS SOME HERE.
THREE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
AND NINE SAN DIEGO HAVE
RECOVERED AND WE'RE GOING TO
KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THOSE
RECOVERY NUMBERS SO WITH THOSE
NUMBERS. A BIG VOTE WILL TAKE
PLACE TODAY OVER A PLAN TO
SPEED UP THE REOPENING OF SAN
DIEGO COUNTY INCLUDING SOME
BUSINESSES AND RETAIL STORES.
IT'S NOT A ROD FOR HIS LIVE NOW
WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT'S AT
STAKE HERE LATER THIS MORNING.
NADA. GOOD MORNING. SO COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WILL BE
VOTING TODAY TO PUSH FOR
THE REOPENING OF MANY
RESTAURANTS. THAT MEANS DINING
INSIDE RESTAURANTS AND SHOPPING
INSIDE RETAIL STORES. SO MANY
CITY AND COUNTY LEADERS BELIEVE
SAN DIEGO IS READY FOR THAT
NEXT PHASE. BUT THEY ALSO ARE
PUSHING FOR THE REOPENING OF
HAIR AND NAIL SALONS. HAS BEEN
FRUSTRATED FOR MANY PEOPLE.
THEY WANT TO SEE US MOVE MORE
QUICKLY NOW. THE GOVERNOR DID
RELAX A NUMBER OF RESTRICTIONS
PAVING THE WAY FOR COUNTIES TO
REOPEN BUSINESSES LIKE THOSE
DINE IN RESTAURANTS AND
IN-STORE RETAILERS. BUT
THE GOVERNOR DID SAY PHASE
THREE BUSINESSES BARBER SHOPS,
HAIR AND NAIL SALONS AND
SPORTING EVENTS WITHOUT
SPECTATORS WOULD NOT BE
REOPENED UNTIL EARLY JUNE. NOW
SAN DIEGO COUNTY WILL FORWARD
TO PROPOSAL ONE OF THEM BEING
THAT ACCELERATED REOPENING OF
THOSE BUSINESSES LIKE
THE RESTAURANTS AND SHOPS TO
OPEN AS SOON AS THE NEXT FEW
DAYS AS IN THIS WEEK. THEY ALSO
WANT TO PUSH FOR A PILOT
PROGRAM TO REST. EXCUSE ME
TEST. REOPENING SOME OF THOSE
BUSINESSES THAT ARE UNDER PHASE
3. SO AGAIN THAT WOULD INCLUDE
BUSINESSES LIKE HAIR AND NAIL
SALONS AND BARBER SHOPS. THAT'S
SOMETHING THE MAYOR IS PUSHING
FOR. NOW THE CITY'S RECOVER
ADVISORY GROUP HAS BEEN
DEVELOPING COVERED 19 PROTOCOLS
FOR THESE LOCAL BUSINESSES TO
FOLLOW IN THE EVENT OF A
REOPENING. THIS COULDN'T COME
AT A BETTER TIME. OUR SMALL
BUSINESSES OWNERS HAVE BEEN
PREPARING. THEY GET A LOT OF
PLANTS AND THEY ARE READY TO GO
AND THE MAYOR DID SHOW THAT
MANY BUSINESSES HAVE TAKEN
SAFETY MEASURES INCLUDING
PLEXIGLAS BETWEEN THEIR
COUNTERS AND CUSTOMERS MARKING
THE FLOOR TO SPACE PEOPLE OUT
BY SIX FEET. AND A LOT OF
SIGNAGE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW
ABOUT THE NEW RULES. SAN DIEGO
COUNTY'S BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WILL BE VOTING ON THESE
PROPOSALS STARTING AT 9:00 THIS
MORNING. THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO
LAY OUT MORE OF THOSE DETAILS
FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. WE ARE
LIVE HERE IN HARBOR ISLAND.
WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU NOW
NETA. THANK YOU. AS THE COUNTY
EXPLORE SAFE WAYS FOR SAN DIEGO
TO REOPEN, SUPERVISOR KRISTIN
GUEST BAR IS PUSHING FOR YOUTH
SPORTS TO BE INCLUDED IN
THE PLAN. YOUNG PEOPLE
OVERNIGHT THEIR ENTIRE WORLD
WAS CHANGED WITHOUT ANY
WARNING. AND IF OUR ADULTS ARE
HAVING A TOUGH TIME COPING WITH
THIS. THINK OF THE IMPACTS TO
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. SUPERVISOR
GUESS FAR IS BEHIND THAT GAME
ON SAN DIEGO INITIATIVE THAT
WOULD ALLOW CHILDREN TO RETURN
TO PRACTICE FIELDS AND GYMS FOR
TEAM SPORTS GUESS BARR SAYS
THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES INPUT
FROM MORE THAN 200 ORGANIZED
SPORTS LEADERS IN
THE COMMUNITY. THE INITIATIVE
WILL BE VOTED ON DURING
TOMORROW'S BOARD MEETING MARK

SUPERVISORS NATHAN FLETCHER AND
DIANNE JACOB ARE PROPOSING A 34
MILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC AND
HUMANITARIAN STIMULUS PACKAGE.
THE MONEY WILL COME OUT OF
THE 300 34 MILLION DOLLARS TO
THE COUNTY THAT THEY RECEIVED
FROM THE FEDERAL CARES ACT. 15
MILLION WOULD GO TO BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH SERVICES, 2 MILLION TO
CHILD WELFARE SERVICES AND
ANOTHER 17 MILLION WOULD BE
USED AS ECONOMIC STIMULUS FOR
SMALL BUSINESSES.
THE SUPERVISORS ARE ALSO
DETAILING HOW THE REST OF
THE FEDERAL CARER'S MONEY MIGHT
BE USED BY ALLOCATING ONE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FIVE
MILLION DIRECTLY TO THE COUNTY.
CODED RESPONSE. THIS IS A LOT
OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH ACTIONS
THAT WE'VE TAKEN AND A LOT OF
THE PPE OR A VARIETY OF OTHER
TYPE OF OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS
IS THE REGION'S PUBLIC HEALTH
AGENCY. IN ADDITION, ONE
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ALLOCATED FOR TESTING, TRACING
AND TREATMENT AND FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR CHILD CARE VOUCHERS
FOR ESSENTIAL WORKERS. ANOTHER
20 MILLION WOULD GO TO
THE CITIES. WE COULD SOON LEARN
MORE ABOUT ADDITIONAL CUTS
COMING TO THE CITY OF SAN
DIEGO'S BUDGET. TODAY MAYOR
KEVIN FAULCONER IS EXPECTED TO
UNVEIL UPDATES TO THE PLAN. IT
WOULD DIG DEEPER INTO
THE RESERVES. THE CITY ALREADY
FACES MORE THAN A 300 MILLION
DOLLAR SHORTFALL FOR NEXT YEAR.
THE MAYOR'S BUDGET WOULD ALSO
INCLUDE DEEP CUTS TO PARKS,
POOLS, LIBRARIES AND FUNDING
FOR THE ARTS. IT'S TOUGH TO
HEAR AND A LOT OF CUTS GOING TO
BE HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL MONTHS, THAT'S FOR
SURE. LET'S GET YOUR MORNING
RUSH NOW. SUPERVISOR FLETCHER
WILL BE PROPOSING THE CREATION
OF A HUMAN RELATIONS COMMISSION
TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IN
AN EFFORT TO COMBAT RECENT
HATEFUL INCIDENTS IN
THE COUNTY. NOW THE PROPOSED
LEON L. WILLIAMS HUMAN
RELATIONS COMMISSION WOULD
CONSIST OF TWENTY FIVE VOTING
MEMBERS REPRESENTING A
CROSS-SECTION OF THE COMMUNITY.
FLETCHER SAYS THE OBJECTIVE OF
THE COMMISSION WILL BE TO
FOSTER AN INCLUSIVE CULTURE AND
MORE EQUITABLE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY. SAN DIEGO STATE
STUDENTS SAY THEY'RE BEING
FORCED TO PAY RENT WITH VERY
FEW RELIEF OPTIONS AT ONE OFF
CAMPUS HOUSING COMPLEX. IT
COMES AS OTHERS ARE WAIVING
FEES AT CSU, STUDENTS SAY WITH
ONLINE CLASSES REMAINING IN
THE FALL THEY'VE MOVED HOME BUT
CAN'T AFFORD TO BREAK THEIR
LEASES AT A SALE PLACE NEAR SD
SMU ONE STUDENTS SAY THEY ARE
ONLY ALLOWING HER TO SUBLET
THEM TO SUBLET THEIR UNITS.
THE COMPANY SAYS IT'S NOT
RELEASING LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND
THEY ARE WORKING WITH RESIDENTS
BUT THE STUDENTS SAY IT'S NOT
ENOUGH. THEY HAVEN'T OFFERED
ANY SORT OF INCENTIVE DURING
THESE TIMES WHICH IS HONESTLY
RIDICULOUS BECAUSE I KNOW SO
MANY KIDS EXPERIENCING THE SAME
THING RIGHT NOW THROUGH PASEO
SEVERAL MEN TODD GLORIA SAYS
THEY ARE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE
AND THERE IS A PROPOSED
LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS THIS
CONCERN. A CONVICT FROM LA MESA
IS BACK BEHIND BARS AFTER
ACCUSED OF GOING ON A TWO WEEK
CRIME SPREE. TWENTY TWO YEAR
OLD TIMOTHY ALVARADO WAS
RELEASED FROM JAIL ON APRIL 3RD
AFTER SERVING A SENTENCE FOR
BURGLARY. A MONTH LATER ASKING.
POLICE SAY HE WAS ARRESTED ON
MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BUT BECAUSE
OF CALIFORNIA'S COVERED 19
RELEASE PROGRAM THEY WEREN'T
ABLE TO BOOK HIM FOR THOSE
ALLEGED CRIMES. THEN ON MAY
16TH, ALVARADO WAS ARRESTED AT
A SPRINTER STATION IN
CONNECTION WITH A STABBING AND
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER.
HE IS NOW IN THE VISTA JAIL.
CALIFORNIA'S JUDICIAL COUNCIL
SET BAIL AT ZERO DOLLARS FOR
MISDEMEANORS AND LOW LEVEL
FELONIES. HEATHER LAWSON
WARNINGS THIS MORNING FROM
HEALTH EXPERTS AFTER PRESIDENT
TRUMP REVEALED THAT HE HAS BEEN
TAKING HYDROXIDE. CHLOROQUINE.

AND THE HYDROXIDE AND ALL I CAN
TELL YOU IS SO FAR I SEEM TO BE
OK. WELL, THE PRESIDENT HAS
BEEN TAKING IT FOR THE PAST
WEEK AND A HALF, HE SAYS TO TRY
AND PREVENT THE CORONA VIRUS.
BUT THAT TRUE IMMEDIATE
CRITICISM FROM MEDICAL EXPERTS
WHO WARNED NOT JUST OF
THE DANGERS IT POSED FOR
THE PRESIDENT'S HEALTH BUT ALSO
THE EXAMPLE SETS AMONG
THE DRUG'S SIDE EFFECTS ARE
HEART RHYTHM PROBLEMS STILL
UNPROVEN THAT THE DRUG CAN
TREAT THE CORONA VIRUS? WE WILL
CERTAINLY KEEP YOU UPDATED ON
THAT STORY STRAIGHT AHEAD HERE.
ONE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT IS
WEIGHING IN ON PROPOSED STATE
BUDGET CUTS WHAT THIS MEANS FOR
WHEN THEY GET BACK TO CAMPUS
AND AFTER THEIR MASSIVE
OUTBREAK ON BOARD, SOME SAILORS
UPON THE USS ROOSEVELT RE
TESTED POSITIVE. PLUS THIS. I
THOUGHT HOW I CAN MAKE BELIEVE
OF PEOPLE'S I MEAN CUSTOMERS
MIND COMING INTO US FROM COULD
THERMAL IMAGING BE SOMETHING
WE'LL START TO SEE IN SOME
BUSINESSES HOW THIS NEW
TECHNOLOGY ALL WORKS? STRAIGHT
