DEALING
DEALING WITH THE CORONA VIRUS. NEWS 8 5 STARTS NOW. CITY OF SAN DIEGO IS IMPLEMENTING AN
EVICTION MORATORIUM DUE TO
THE CORONA VIRUS. GOOD EVENING
AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
I'M CARLOS RICARDO. AND I'M
BARBARA LEE EDWARDS. JUST
MOMENTS AGO THE MAYOR SAID
EVICTIONS AND FORECLOSURES
CONNECTED TO THE CORONA VIRUS
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED. LET'S
QUICKLY GET YOU UP TO DATE ON
TODAY'S DEVELOPMENT. THERE ARE
NOW CASES OF CORONA VIRUSES IN
ALL 50 STATES AFTER WEST
VIRGINIA REPORTED ITS FIRST
CONFIRMED CASE TODAY. THE WHITE
HOUSE IS EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR
IMMEDIATE CASH PAYMENTS TO
AMERICANS TO HELP BOOST
THE ECONOMY. THERE ARE NOW 55
CASES CORONA VIRUS IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY THAT INCLUDES TWO
CLUSTERS. ONE IS A GROUP OF
FOUR WHO CONTRACTED COBALT 19
IN THE COMMUNITY. ANOTHER GROUP
OF SEVEN WHO RECENTLY TRAVELED
TO COLORADO. THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT COULD SOON BE
SENDING CHECKS TO THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE. TREASURY SECRETARY
STEVEN AMMUNITION IS
NEGOTIATING ANOTHER ECONOMIC
STIMULUS PACKAGE WHILE
THE SENATE TAKES UP THE ONE
PASSED BY THE HOUSE. IT'S ALL
ABOUT COMBATING THE ECONOMIC
EFFECTS OF THE CORONA VIRUS.
NATALIE BRAND REPORTS FROM
WASHINGTON THIS SENATE HAS
VOWED TO STAY IN WASHINGTON
UNTIL IT PASSES LEGISLATION TO
ADDRESS THE CORONA VIRUS
CRISIS. SENATE REPUBLICANS IN
CONJUNCTION WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION ARE GOING TO
WRITE A NEXT BILL. WE WILL THEN
DISCUSS WITH THE DEMOCRATS WHAT
WE CAN AGREE TO PASS THE PLAN.
LEADER MCCONNELL LAID OUT WILL
SLOW THINGS DOWN. ABOVE ALL,
THIS SHOULD BE BIPARTISAN. SOME
LAWMAKERS ARE PROPOSING ADULT
AMERICANS RECEIVE CHECKS FOR AT
LEAST 1000 DOLLARS.
THE PRESIDENT IS DETERMINED WE
WILL PUT MONEY BACK INTO THIS
ECONOMY TO PROTECT HARDWORKING
AMERICANS AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
CBS NEWS HAS CONFIRMED
THE ADMINISTRATION IS
CONSIDERING AN AT LEAST 850
BILLION DOLLAR STIMULUS
PROPOSAL THAT COULD INCLUDE A
PAYROLL TAX CUT, SMALL BUSINESS
LOANS AND A BAILOUT FOR
THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY. WITH THIS
INVISIBLE ENEMY WE DON'T WANT
AIRLINES GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS HELD
MEETINGS TODAY WITH RESTAURANT
AND TOURISM EXECUTIVES TWO OF
THE INDUSTRY'S HARDEST HIT BY
THIS ONGOING CRISIS, ONE OF
THE WORLD'S LARGEST HOTEL
CHAINS. MARRIOTT IS FURLOUGHING
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF WORKERS
AND CLOSING HOTELS WORLDWIDE
RESTAURANTS AND BARS CONTINUE
TO CLOSE ACROSS THE NATION.
SWITCHING TO CARRY OUT AND
DRIVE THROUGH SERVICE ONLY AND
SOME RETAILERS ARE IMPLEMENTING
SENIORS ONLY SHOPPING HOURS TO
PROTECT THOSE MOST AT RISK.
ENJOY YOUR HOME. STAY. NEW YORK
CITY IS CONSIDERING A SHELTER
IN PLACE ORDER SIMILAR TO
THE ONE IN EFFECT IN THE SAN
FRANCISCO BAY AREA. OTHER
STATES HAVE EITHER IMPLEMENTED
OR CONSIDERING CURFEWS.
MEANWHILE, NBA STAR KEVIN
DURANT IS THE LATEST CELEBRITY
TO TEST POSITIVE FOR KOVIC 19
NATALIE BROWN. CBS NEWS
THE WHITE HOUSE AND STOCKS
SURGED TODAY OVER THOSE TALKS
OF A STIMULUS PACKAGE. THE DOW
BOUNCEBACK FROM ITS WORST DAY
IN MORE THAN THREE DECADES
CLOSED UP MORE THAN 1000
POINTS. THE NASDAQ AND S&P 500
WERE EACH UP MORE THAN 6
PERCENT TODAY CITY AND COUNTY
LEADERS AND HEALTH OFFICIALS
GAVE UPDATES ON THE IMPACT OF
THE VIRUS HERE IN SAN DIEGO AND
THE MEASURES THEY ARE TAKING TO
CONTAIN ITS SPREAD. THE COUNTY
SAYS IT IS WORKING WITH
HOSPITALS AND PRIVATE LABS TO
INCREASE TESTING AVAILABILITY.
HOSPITALS COULD START
INDEPENDENT TESTING AS SOON AS
TOMORROW. OFFICIALS ARE ASKING
PEOPLE NOT TO GO TO
THE HOSPITAL. DON'T GO IF YOU
MILD SYMPTOMS AND THINK YOU
NEED TO BE TESTED. IF EVERYONE
GOES TO THE DOCTOR WE ARE GOING
TO OVERWHELM OUR HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM. SO WE ARE URGING PEOPLE
VERY MUCH LIKE WITH INFLUENZA
IF YOU HAVE MILD TO MODERATE
SYMPTOMS, STAY HOME AND RIDE
THAT OUT. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE
55 CASES OF CORONAVIRUS IN SAN
DIEGO. OFFICIALS SAY THEY'RE
INVESTIGATING A COUPLE OF LOCAL
CUST CLUSTERS AMONG THOSE 55
CASES. THEY DO EXPECT TO SEE AN
INCREASE IN CASES IN THE DAYS
AHEAD. MOVES TO PREVENT
THE SPREAD OF CORONA VIRUS ARE
DEVASTATING TO THE FINANCIAL
HEALTH OF MANY FAMILIES ACROSS
OUR COUNTY. WELL, THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS WORKING ON A PLAN
TO GET AMERICANS MONEY. MANY
FAMILIES ARE TAKING A LOOK AT
WAYS TO SLOW THEIR SPENDING.
NEWSDAY STEVE PRICE IS LIVE IN
KEARNEY MESA TONIGHT WITH
THE DETAILS STEVE YEAH. BARBARA
LEE I'M A LONG CONVOY STREET
WHICH IS USUALLY PACKED AT THIS
HOUR EITHER WITH FOLKS WHO ARE
HEADING HOME OR PEOPLE HEADING
TO ONE OF THE MANY GREAT
RESTAURANTS IN THIS AREA. BUT
TAKE A LOOK BEHIND ME
LITERALLY. THERE'S NOT A SINGLE
CAR COMING THIS DIRECTION RIGHT
NOW. THAT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE
AREN'T WORKING. PEOPLE AREN'T
SPENDING MONEY AND THAT'S
CAUSING A LOT OF CONCERN. SAN
DIEGO BUSINESSES GRATEFUL FOR
THE FEW CUSTOMERS THEY DO HAVE
TO SUPPORT THE ECONOMY, LOCAL
ECONOMY. THE BEST I CAN.
COURTNEY MORSE PICKED UP AN
ORDER TO GO FOR LUNCH. HIS JOB
IS SAFE FROM CORONA VIRUS
CONCERNS BUT KNOWS OTHERS ARE
STRUGGLING. FROM OUR SLASHED IN
LAYOFFS I'M HUMBLE. I DO WHAT I
HAVE TO DO AND KIM WRAY SAYS
SHE'S ALREADY STARTED THINKING
ABOUT WAYS TO CUT THE FAMILY
BUDGET, CABLE TV. THINGS LIKE
THAT. WE WATCH, YOU KNOW,
DIFFERENT THINGS ON OUR PHONE.
A FEAR OF BUSINESSES FAILING
ELIMINATING JOBS IS SWEEPING
THE COUNTRY. AMERICANS WITH NO
MONEY TO PAY THEIR BILLS. SO
TODAY A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATOR. WE'RE
LOOKING AT SENDING CHECKS TO
AMERICANS IMMEDIATELY AND WHAT
WE'VE HEARD FROM HARDWORKING
AMERICANS. MANY COMPANIES HAVE
NOW SHUT DOWN WHETHER IT'S BARS
OR RESTAURANTS. AMERICANS STATE
CASH NOW THE EXACT AMOUNT IS
STILL BEING WORKED OUT. BUT
THE PRESIDENT MENTIONED
THE THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH A
GOAL TO HAVE IT IN OUR HANDS
AND ABOUT TWO WEEKS MONEY THAT
WILL CERTAINLY HELP PEOPLE
STRUGGLING NOW TO BUY FOOD.
IT'S SCARY TIMES. BUT DAVID
REYES DOUBTS THAT MONEY WILL
SUDDENLY SAVE OUR NATION'S
ECONOMY. HERE'S THE PROBLEM
WITH GIVING MONEY RIGHT NOW
WHEN THERE'S NO DEMAND, IT
DOESN'T PUSH THE NEEDLE. PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO HOARD MONEY. REYES
IS A REGISTERED INVESTMENT
ADVISOR WITH MORE THAN 20 YEARS
OF EXPERIENCE. HIS ADVICE TO
THOSE THAT ARE STILL RECEIVING
A PAYCHECK DON'T STOP
CONTRIBUTING YOUR FOR A 1 K.
ABSOLUTELY. YOU ARE DOLLAR COST
AVERAGING. SO IT'S A GREAT TIME
FOR CONTRIBUTIONS. THAT SAID,
THE UNKNOWN IS SCARY. NO ONE
CAN SAY JUST HOW LONG THIS WILL
ALL LAST. BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW
IS THE DOWNTURN HAPPENED
QUICKLY AND MANY OF US OFF
GUARD. WE DON'T WANT PEOPLE
LOSING THEIR JOBS OR NOT HAVING
MONEY TO LIVE WHEN WE'RE DOING
VERY WELL. JUST FOUR WEEKS AGO
.YEAH, IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE
THAT JUST FOUR WEEKS NONE OF US
REALLY SAW THIS COMING AND FOR
FOLKS WHO WERE LIVING PAYCHECK
TO PAYCHECK THERE JUST WAS NO
TIME TO PREPARE FOR THIS ONE
OTHER TIP TO PASS ALONG. HARLOW
AND BARBARA LEE, IF YOU ARE
HAVING A PROBLEM PAYING OFF
YOUR CREDIT CARDS, PAYING YOUR
MORTGAGE OR ANY OF YOUR
UTILITIES, GO AHEAD AND TRY TO
CONTACT THOSE COMPANIES NOW
THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING ON
AND THEY SHOULD TRY TO WORK
WITH YOU AT LEAST DELAY PENALTY
SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO
PAY MORE DOWN THE ROBI. YOU
DEFINITELY WANT TO BE PROACTIVE
WHEN IT COMES TO THAT. WE'LL
SEND IT BACK TO THE STUDIO. ALL
RIGHT. A LOT OF GOOD ADVICE
THERE, STEVE. THANKS. MEANTIME,
THE MARINE CORPS IS WORKING TO
CONTAIN THE SPREAD OF
THE CORONA VIRUS ON MCI S
MIRAMAR AFTER TWO LOCAL MARINES
TESTED POSITIVE NEWS AIDS.
BRANDON LEWIS IS LIVE AT
THE BASE WITH THE LATEST ON HOW
MILITARY OFFICIALS ARE
RESPONDING TO THIS CORONA VIRUS
CRISIS. BRANDON AND CARLO
MARINES SAY THEY ARE PRACTICING
SOCIAL DISTANCING CLOSED
NON-ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES THAT
OPERATE ON THE BASE AND THEY
ARE ALSO MAKING PREPARATIONS
FOR A POTENTIAL WORST CASE
SCENARIO. THAT MEANS SETTING
ASIDE BARRACKS FOR ISOLATION OR
QUARANTINE. WE'RE DOING
EVERYTHING WE CAN. YOU PREVENT
THE SPREAD THE LIMITED IMPACT
HERE ON THE BASE. LIMITED
IMPACT ON THE COMMUNITY AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE READY FOR
THOSE MISSIONS THAT ARE GOING
TO BE COMING OUT IN THE FUTURE.
MARINES ACROSS SAN DIEGO ARE
TAKING SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS TO
DEAL WITH THE OUTBREAK OF
CORONA VIRUS AT MIRAMAR. THAT
MEANS SETTING ASIDE A BARRACK
FOR ANYONE IN ISOLATION OR
QUARANTINE. THESE FOLKS HAVE
FOOD BROUGHT TO THEM THEIR
LAUNDRY TAKEN CARE OF. WE PLAN
FOR BASICALLY ALL OF THEIR
LIVING ESSENTIALS ALONG THE WAY
.SO WE'RE TAKING THOSE KINDS
OF STEPS HERE ON THE BASE TO
MAKE SURE THAT ANYBODY THAT
CONTRACTED IT GETS ISOLATED
APPROPRIATELY. MARINES AT CAMP
PENDLETON PUT TOGETHER TENTS TO
HANDLE ANY SURGE IN CASES AND
ALSO SET ASIDE BARRACKS FOR
THOSE WHO NEED TO RECOVER.
THE VIRUS IS CHANGING THE WAY
OF LIFE ON BASE JUST LIKE ON
THE OUTSIDE. THE MARINES CLOSED
CLUBS AND NON-ESSENTIAL
BUSINESSES RESTAURANTS ARE
TAKEOUT ONLY AND SOME PLACES
HAVE LIMITED HOURS. IT'S ALSO
CHANGING HOW THEY INTERACT TO
AVOID LARGE GATHERINGS THINGS
LIKE FORMATION, LARGE GROUP
SETTINGS MEETING THOSE KINDS OF
THINGS MAY BE CURTAILED IN
THE FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW
THE COMMANDING OFFICER SAID
KIND OF A SOFT TAP AT 75 PEOPLE
RIGHT NOW. THE MOST SERIOUS
CASES WILL GO TO MILITARY
HOSPITALS WHICH ALSO SPENT
THE WEEK PUTTING TOGETHER TENTS
AND PREPARING FOR AN ONSLAUGHT
OF CASES. MIRAMAR MARINES AND
LOCAL MEDICAL STAFF ARE IN A
UNIQUE SITUATION SINCE THEY
HAVE HOUSED THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
IN QUARANTINE FROM BHUTAN AND
THE GRAND PRINCESS CRUISE SHIP.
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO REPLICATE
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT THE CDC
DID THAT WERE VERY SUCCESSFUL
WITH THE CHINESE WITH THE WITH
THE WU HONG KONG AND ME AND
WITH THE GRAND PRINCESS
QUARANTINE AND PUTTING THEM
ONTO THE SMALLER SCALE WITH
WHAT WE'RE DOING. SO AGAIN IN
CASE PREPARING FOR THE WORST
AND OF COURSE HOPING FOR
THE VERY BEST NOW COMING UP FOR
A NEW AT 630 WE'LL TELL YOU
ABOUT HOW THE MARINES ARE
WORKING TO DRIVE THIS POINT
HOME TO MARINES THAT ARE USED
TO COMPLETING A MISSION NO
MATTER WHAT AND URGING THEM TO
STAY HOME IF THEY ARE SICK.
CARLO AND BARBARA LEE. ALL
RIGHT, BRANDON, THANK YOU.
POSSIBLY THE CRAZIEST PLACE TO
GO DURING THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC IS THE SUPERMARKET.
BUT ONE GROCERY STORE TOOK
NOTICE IT'S NOW MAKING
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THOSE WHO
ARE MOST VULNERABLE. ALL
THE NORTHGATE GONZALEZ MARKETS
41 LOCATIONS WILL NOW BE OPEN
AT 7:00 IN THE MORNING INSTEAD
OF 8:00. THE GOAL IS TO LET
ELDERLY PEOPLE AND THOSE WITH
DISABILITIES SHOP DURING THAT
TIME IN PRIVACY TO AVOID
THE CROWDS. I'M GRATEFUL THAT'S
WHY I WAS HERE EARLIER. I
THOUGHT IT WAS A WONDERFUL IDEA
BECAUSE WE ARE HAVING A
DIFFICULT TIME. OUR AGE GROUP
GETTING THINGS, GETTING THEM
BACK HOME. SO I THOUGHT IT WAS
WONDERFUL. THERE ARE EIGHT
NORTHGATE LOCATION IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY FIND THE FULL LIST OF
LOCATIONS AT NORTHGATE MARKET
DOT COM. DESPITE THE NUMEROUS
PANDEMIC RELATED CLOSURES
THROUGHOUT THE COUY, SEVERAL
BUSINESSES AND ORGANIZATIONS
ARE STAYING OPEN. TWO IN
PARTICULAR HAVE GENERATED A LOT
OF COMPLAINT FROM OUR VIEWERS
CASINOS AND THE DMV. SHANNON
ANDY JOINS US LIVE FROM OUTSIDE
THE DMV IN CLAREMONT WITH MORE
ON HOW THEY'RE ABLE TO STAY
OPEN AND WHY. SHANNON YEAH
BARBARA LEE AND CARLO THE DMV
JUST SHUT ITS DOORS FOR
THE NIGHT BUT I CAN'T SAY IT'S
BEEN BUSINESS AS USUAL WHEN
THEY ARE OPEN DURING THE DAY
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BEING FORCED
TO LINE UP OUTSIDE AND STEPS
ARE BEING TAKEN INSIDE TO
ENFORCE SOCIAL DISTANCING. BUT
EITHER WAY THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAYING THAT PLACES LIKE
THE DMV AND CASINOS SHOULD BE
TAKING THIS PANDEMIC MORE
SERIOUSLY EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
NOT BEING ASKED TO CLOSE
OUTSIDE THE CLAREMONT DMV
TUESDAY PEOPLE DISTANCE
THEMSELVES IN LINE. SOME MORE
MASS WORKERS ONLY ALLOWED A
LIMITED NUMBER OF PEOPLE INSIDE
WHERE CHAIRS HAVE BEEN MOVED
FURTHER APART. IT WAS A BEST
EXPERIENCE I'VE HAD IN 26
YEARS. JAMES NEWCOMB CAME TO
GET A NEW LICENSE. HE SAYS NOT
ONLY WAS IT EFFICIENT BUT HE
AND OTHERS TELL MESSIANIC
PRECAUTIONS MADE THEM FEEL
SAFE. YES, EVERYTHING IS HERE.
NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE. NOT
EVERYONE AGREES. LUCY HAS
RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS
QUESTIONING WHY THE DMV IS
STILL OPEN. ONE VIEWER WROTE
WHY WAS THE DMV OPEN TODAY? NO
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND THAT LONG
LINE. ANOTHER ASKED WHY IS
THE DMV A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FROM
THE CORONA VIRUS? THE GOVERNOR
HAS SHUT DOWN GROUPS OF OVER 50
PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE STATE BUT
KEEPS THE DMV OPEN WITH CROWDS
IN EXCESS OF 300. WE REACHED
OUT TO BOTH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE AS WELL AS THE DMV. IN A
STATEMENT THE DMV TELLS US IN
PART ALL DMV OFFICES REMAIN
OPEN AT THIS TIME TO PROCESS
THOSE TRANSACTIONS AND MUST BE
TAKEN CARE OF IN AN OFFICE
INCLUDING REAL I.D.. IT GOES ON
TO SAY LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS BEEN
ASKED TO USE DISCRETION FOR
THE NEXT 60 DAYS IN REGARDS TO
EXPIRE LICENSES AND VEHICLE
REGISTRATION. IN OTHER WORDS,
PEOPLE SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO
COME RIGHT AWAY IN AN EFFORT TO
CURB CROWDS. ANOTHER INDUSTRY
BEING CRITICIZED CASINOS. THIS
VIDEO WAS TAKEN OUTSIDE
THE HOUSE TODAY. THERE ARE 10
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY. AS OF
TUESDAY AFTERNOON ONLY THREE
WERE CLOSE. HARRIS JENGA AND
PALMA, THE OTHERS HAVE REMAINED
OPEN WITH EXTRA SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS LIKE RUSH TRUNK
CLOSURES IN SANITIZING STATIONS
IN PLACE IN AN E-MAIL ONE
VIEWER WROTE. WATCHING THE CHIP
EXTRA TIME JUST ISN'T GOOD
ENOUGH. IT GETS DOWN TO GREED,
ANOTHER SAID. THE ISSUE WITH
HAVING THESE PROPERTIES OPEN TO
THE PUBLIC WILL ATTRACT ANYONE
WHO IS JUST LOOKING FOR AN OPEN
PLACE BECAUSE EVERY OTHER
BUSINESS WILL BE CLOSED BECAUSE
CASINOS ARE ON SOVEREIGN TRIBAL
LAND. THE COUNTY CAN'T ORDER
THEM TO CLOSE THOUGH THEY ARE
REQUIRED TO ADHERE TO THE 50
PERSON PER ROOM LIMIT AND
THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
DOES HAVE GUIDELINES IN PLACE
FOR CASINOS THAT REMAIN OPEN.
NOW AS I MENTIONED THAT
