FINE.
FINE. GOOD EVENING AND THANKS FOR JOINING TONIGHT. I'M STEVE PRICE AND I WISH TO SUMMERS
WERE STILL AWAITING THE LATEST
NUMBERS ON CORONA VIRUS IN
THE COUNTY. WE BEGIN WITH A BIG
WEEK AHEAD ON CAPITOL HILL AS
LAWMAKERS CONTINUE TO DISCUSS
COVERT 19 RELIEF BILL. NOW MANY
OF THE BENEFITS FROM PREVIOUS
PACKAGES HAVE ALREADY COME TO
AN END OR THEY WILL SOON AND
THOSE WHO FILE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT
ARE NO LONGER GOING TO RECEIVE
THAT ADDITIONAL SIX DOLLARS
PROVIDED BY THE CARERS ACT.
THE FEDERAL RENT MORATORIUM
EXPIRED AND THE PAYROLL
PROTECTION PROGRAM IS GOING TO
RUN OUT EARLY NEXT MONTH. A
TRILLION DOLLAR RELIEF BILL IS
EXPECTED TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD
TOMORROW. WE'RE PREPARED TO ACT
QUICKLY. THIS IS ALL ABOUT KIDS
AND JOBS. THIS IS OUR FOCUS AND
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE SOMETHING
GETS PASSED QUICKLY SO THAT WE
DEAL WITH THE UNEMPLOYMENT AND
ALL THE OTHER ISSUES THAT
THEY'RE IN DISARRAY AND THAT
DELAY IS CAUSING SUFFERING FOR
AMERICA'S FAMILIES. WE HAVE
BEEN READY FOR AN ESTIMATED 30
MILLION AMERICANS CURRENTLY
UNEMPLOYED. AND FOR THOSE
LOCALLY THAT ARE ON
UNEMPLOYMENT, THEY HAVE NOW
RECEIVED THEIR LAST CHECK. WITH
THAT EXTRA SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
IN IT MEANS SPREAD. LEWIS
EXPLAINS HOW THE POTENTIAL LOSS
OF MORE THAN HALF OF
UNEMPLOYMENT PERSON'S MONEY
WILL IMPACT THEM AND HOW SOME
ARE LEARNING NEW SKILLS FOR
JOBS OF THE FUTURE. YES, EVEN
THE LEAST OF THE LAST PAYMENT
WITH AN EXTRA SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS WAS DEPOSITED INTO
UNEMPLOYED FOLKS ACCOUNT
STARTING TODAY. THAT'S
PROMPTING SOME PEOPLE
INDUSTRIES THAT ARE CLOSING
DOWN ONCE AGAIN TO CONSIDER NEW
CAREER PATHS AND LOCAL
NONPROFITS ARE STEPPING UP TO
ANSWER THE CALL. AMERICANS
RECEIVE THEIR FINAL
UNEMPLOYMENT CHECKS WITH AN
EXTRA SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS
SUNDAY. AS CONGRESS DEBATES
WHAT FUTURE HELP WILL LOOK
LIKE. AT ISSUE IS WHETHER
THE MONEY DISINCENTIVES PEOPLE
TO RETURN TO WORK. IT TURNED
OUT I WAS MAKING MORE ON
UNEMPLOYMENT AND I WAS WORKING
AND THAT'S WHY I KIND OF LOOKED
AT. WELL, SHOULD I GO BACK TO
WORK? BUT ECONOMISTS SAY
THE ORIGINAL KNEE PROGRAM
PROVIDED STOPGAP MONEY AT A
TIME WHEN UP TO A QUARTER OF
SAN THE ALIENS WERE OUT OF
WORK. YES, THAT IS A CONCERN
BUT ONE SHOULD KEEP THE OVERALL
ENVIRONMENT IN MIND IN WHICH
THIS IS PLAYING OUT. HE SAYS
WITHOUT MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS MIGHT HAVE ENDED
UP BELOW THE POVERTY LINE. BUT
NOW MORE THAN FOUR MONTHS IN
THE HOSPITALITY AND
ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES ARE
CLOSED AGAIN AND LAID OFF
WORKERS WILL SEE THEIR CHECKS
CUT IN HALF OR MORE. THAT
ENDING OF 600 IS IS CONCERNING
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STILL IN
NEED. PETER KALLSTROM LEAD SAN
DIEGO WORKFORCE PARTNERSHIP
WHICH OFFERS LAID OFF WORKERS A
CHANCE TO LEARN NEW SKILLS IN
INDUSTRIES THAT ARE STILL
HIRING FOR FREE OR A LITTLE
COST. THERE'S A LOT OF GREAT
CAREERS OUT THERE. I.T. IS
CERTAINLY IN DEMAND BUT THERE'S
A LOT OF OTHER GREAT CAREERS.
EDUCATION IS IN HIGH DEMAND.
HEALTH CARE WORK IN SO MANY IN
THIS DAY AND AGE FOR SURE. BUT
IT TAKES TIME TO LEARN NEW
SKILLS AND A MAXIMUM 450 DOLLAR
WEEKLY UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK MAY
NOT COVER THE BILLS. WHICH IS
WHY ALL EYES ARE ON CONGRESS TO
SEE WHAT NEW DEAL LAWMAKERS MAY
AGREE ON. THOSE DOLLARS ARE
REALLY CRITICAL DURING THIS
TIME FOR MEETING RAND FOR BEING
ABLE TO TO FULFILL THE NEEDS OF
A FAMILY. AND JUST TO GET
THROUGH THIS HISTORICALLY
DIFFICULT TIME EARLY INTO
THE PANDEMIC, SOME SMALL
BUSINESSES COMPLAINED THAT IT
WAS DIFFICULT TO GET EMPLOYEES
TO RETURN TO WORK BECAUSE OF
THAT EXTRA SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR
PAYMENT. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THAT COMING UP
FOR YOU AT 630. STEPHEN ALESIA
.BRIAN, THANK YOU. SAN DIEGO
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT LEADERS
ARE CALLING ON THIS CITY
COUNCIL TO EXTEND THE BAN ON
RENT OR EVICTIONS THROUGH
WINTER. THAT'S UNTIL MARCH 30.
FIRST THE CURRENT PROTECTIONS
AND ON SEPTEMBER 30TH THAT'S A
MONTH AFTER A VIRTUAL HOME
SCHOOL STARTS. ON TUESDAY,
THE CITY COUNCIL IS EXPECTED TO
CONSIDER A PROPOSAL THAT GIVES
RENTERS ADDITIONAL TIME TO PAY
BACK RENT WITHOUT FEAR OF
BECOMING HOMELESS DUE TO
THE PANDEMIC RECESSION. WELL,
THE RACE FOR A COVETED 19
VACCINE CONTINUES WITH SEVERAL
COMPANIES COMPETING IN SAN
DIEGO IS NOW BEING ASKED TO
PARTICIPATE TOMORROW
RESEARCHERS BEGIN THEIR NEXT
PHASE ON A STUDY OF A POSSIBLE
VACCINE AT UC SAN DIEGO NEWS
AIDS MONEY GRIEGO HAS MORE ON
HOW YOU COULD TAKE PART. STEVEN
ALISHA NATIONWIDE THEY ARE
LOOKING TO RECRUIT AROUND 30000
PEOPLE 500 HERE IN SAN DIEGO.
AND THIS REALLY IS THE FIRST
STEP TOWARD FINDING A VACCINE
AT A VERY, VERY FAST PACE. AND
SAN DIEGO CAN BE A BIG PART OF
THAT TECH. THE PERSON IF THEY
EVER COME INTO CONTACT BUT
THE ACTUAL CORONAVIRUS IT'S
THE BEGINNING OF WHAT COULD BE
THE END ELIMINATING THE VIRUS
THAT HAS UPROOTED OUR LIVES.
THIS IS A REALLY EXCITING
OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE OF US IN
SAN DIEGO WHO HAVE BEEN SO
IMPACTED BY COLD 19. DR. STEVEN
SPECTOR IS A PROFESSOR AN
INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPECIALIST
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
,SAN DIEGO. TOMORROW IT WILL
BE ONE OF THE FIRST
UNIVERSITIES OR FACILITIES TO
BEGIN A TRIAL ON A POSSIBLE
VACCINE TO END THE VIRUS. WHAT
WE DO KNOW IS THAT IT DOES
ELICIT THE KIND OF IMMUNE
RESPONSE THAT APPEARS TO BE
WHAT WILL BE PROTECTIVE FOR
PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPOSED TO
THE VIRUS THAT CAUSES COUGHING
19 AT LEAST THE PRELIMINARY
DATA SUGGESTS THAT THE RESPONSE
THAT THE BODY MAKES CAN BE
PROTECTIVE. THE STUDY IS BEING
SPONSORED BY THE NATIONAL
INSTITUTE OF HEALTH LOCALLY,
UCSD IS HOPING TO RECRUIT 500
PEOPLE WHO WILL BE GIVING
THE VACCINE IN TWO DOSES AND
MONITORED OVER THE NEXT TWO
YEARS WHILE ALL INDIVIDUALS
OVER 18 QUALIFY. AND WE'RE
INTERESTED PARTICULARLY IN
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN SOUTH COUNTY
AND IN SOUTH BAY. WE'RE ALSO
INTERESTED IN INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE OLDER THAN 65 YEARS OF AGE
AND THOSE WHO MAY HAVE
UNDERLYING CONDITIONS. HE SAYS
THOSE THAT COULD DO THE MOST
HELP INCLUDE ESSENTIAL WORKERS
AND MINORITY POPULATIONS. WE'RE
VERY INTERESTED IN HAVING
MINORITY GROUPS AND PEOPLE OF
COLOR. PARTICIPATE BECAUSE
AGAIN WE WOULD LIKE TO REACH
THOSE POPULATIONS THAT ARE AT
GREATEST RISK HAVING COHORT 19
DISEASE. DR. SPECTOR SAYS
THEY'RE HOPING TO HAVE ALL
LOCAL PARTICIPANTS LINED UP
WITHIN THE NEXT 60 DAYS. A FAST
TRACKED EFFORT TO FIND A CURE.
I THINK THAT THIS IS THE FIRST
STEP IN REALLY TRYING TO
DEVELOP A VACCINE THAT CAN
CLEARLY CHANGE OUR LIVES. AND
IF YOU ARE SOMEONE WHO WOULD
LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
STUDY FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
HOW YOU CAN JOIN, JUST GO TO
CBS DOT COM AND CLICK ON THIS
STORY. THEY WILL BE CONTACTING
PEOPLE WITHIN THE NEXT 10 DAYS.
MONIQUE GRIEGO, NEWS 8. THAT
BRINGS US TO OUR POLL FOR
TONIGHT. WOULD YOU TAKE PART IN
A COVETED 19 VACCINE CLINICAL
TRIAL THOUGH IT IS IMPORTANT TO
REMEMBER THAT THE UC SAN DIEGO
TRIAL CAN INCLUDE ABOUT 500
PEOPLE AND ONLY HALF OF THEM
ARE GOING TO BE GIVEN
THE ACTUAL VACCINE. THE OTHER
HALF ARE GOING TO GET A PLACEBO
.BUT IT IS A CHANCE FOR PEOPLE
SPECIFICALLY THOSE WHO ARE
ESSENTIAL WORKERS TO GET
THE POSSIBILITY OF PROTECTION
FROM THE VIRUS. AND OF COURSE
YOU'D BE HELPING OTHERS IF IT
TURNS OUT THAT THIS DOES
ACTUALLY WORK. SO SIMPLE
QUESTION TONIGHT JUST A YES OR
NO? AND I KIND OF CHEATED ON
THIS ONE ELECTION BECAUSE I PUT
IT UP ON MY INSTAGRAM EARLIER.
AND IT WAS SPLIT ABOUT 50 50.
SO I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW OUR
POLL IS GOING TO DO TONIGHT. IT
LOOKS THAT EARLY RESULTS. I
KNOW SO FAR IS LEADING WITH 60
PERCENT BUT I MEAN THIS I THINK
THIS ONE'S GOING TO GO BACK AND
FORTH THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT WILL
BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW IT
GOES. BUT YOU KNOW, I MEAN IF
YOU'RE ABLE YOU HAVE THE TIME
IT'S FOR THE GREATER GOOD AND
CAN POTENTIALLY HELP A LOT OF
PEOPLE. AND REMEMBER THEY ARE
ASKING FOR PEOPLE WHO COULD
POTENTIALLY BE EXPOSED TO COVER
19 CAUSE IT DOESN'T DO ANY GOOD
IN THESE TRIALS TO GIVE IT TO
SOMEBODY WHO'S JUST SITTING IN
THEIR HOUSE ALL DAY AND WOULD
NEVER BE EXPOSED TO THE VIRUS.
SO THEY WANT TO SEE NOT ONLY IF
IT WORKS BUT YOU KNOW, YOU GOT
TO BE ABLE TO GET IT AND FIGHT
IT OFF THE LOT GOING ON. ALL
RIGHT. WE'LL LEAVE THIS POLL UP
THROUGHOUT THE SHOWS. HERE
GOES. IT'S HARDY. ZORAIDA, GOOD
START. IT'S ALREADY GOING IT'S
GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING ONE
TO WATCH RIGHT TO VOTE. LOG ON
TO THE NEWS 8 APP AND SCROLL
DOWN TO THE VOTE TAB OR YOU GO
TO OUR WEB SITE CBS DOT COM
SLASH VOTE. WE'LL GO AND TAKE
ANOTHER LOOK AT THE RESULTS A
LITTLE BIT LATER IN THE SHOW.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S TURN TO
WEATHER NOW. A WARM UP IS ON
THE WAY. METEOROLOGIST SEAN
SEAN. SEAN STILES JOINS US NOW
WITH THE FIRST LOOK AT YOUR
MICROCLIMATE FORECAST AND
THE VOTE FOR THE WEATHER SEAN.
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AWESOME. IT
WAS REALLY NICE HERE TODAY AND
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE IN
STORE FOR A COUPLE MORE DAYS OF
THIS REALLY CLASSIC SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WEATHER. THIS IS A
LOOK FROM OUR OLD TIME MOUNTAIN
LOOKING TOWARDS THE WEST. YOU
KIND OF HAVE TO LOOK VERY
CAREFULLY HERE BUT THIS IS FROM
ABOUT SAY SIX THIRTY SEVEN
O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
THE MARINE LAYER BURNING OFF
YOU CAN SEE THE SHADOW AS
THE SUN COMES UP OVER
THE HORIZON THERE. BUT
THE MARINE VERY THIN IN
THE INLAND MICROCLIMATE ALONG
THE COASTLINE THOUGH IT DID
TAKE SOME TIME TO GET TO THAT
HAZY SUNSHINE TODAY. SEVENTY
SIX SEVENTY FIVE IS THE AVERAGE
OVERNIGHT LOW. YOU KNOW, ONE
DEGREE OR ONE DEGREE UP HERE.
SO WE'RE CALLING IT RIGHT ON
THE MONEY OVER A 30 YEAR
AVERAGE. YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN
ABOUT THAT. NOW AS FAR AS
THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS CONCERN
WE'RE GOING TO BE BASICALLY
WHERE WE SHOULD WE START TO
WARM BY WEDNESDAY. AND
THE CLOUD COVER ON THE BEACHES
OFF THE COAST A MILE IT'S
TOTALLY SUNNY. BUT ON
THE BEACHES IT'S GOING TO BE
HIT OR MISS DEPENDING ON HOW
MUCH OF A ONSHORE FLOW THERE
IS. AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE BY
THE TIME WE GET IN TO SAY
WEDNESDAY THE WARM UP ARRIVES.
BUT YOU NOTICE PLENTY OF
SUNSHINE FOR THE INLAND
MICROCREDIT. I'LL HAVE A LOOK
AT THAT EIGHT DAY FORECAST AND
WE'LL TAKE A LOOK WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN HAWAII RIGHT NOW
WITH DOUGLAS. ALL RIGHT, JOHN.
WE'LL SEE THAT AND THE CLASS OF
20 20 AT POINT LOMA NAZARENE
UNIVERSITY FINALLY GOT
THE OPPORTUNITY TO WALK ACROSS
THE STAGE. A UNIVERSITY
IMPROVISING SOCIALLY DISTANT
CEREMONY AT THE HISTORIC GREEK
THEATER ON CAMPUS STUDENTS
DROVE UP ONE AT A TIME AND
WATCHED THEIR FAMILIES AS
THE NAMES WERE CALLED OUT
RECEIVING THEIR DIPLOMAS FROM
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT BOB BROWER
WHO OF COURSE WAS WEARING A
FACE SCARRED FOR GRADUATE DAN
LAMBERT MEANS A LOT. AFTER ALL
HER HARD WORK TO GET I WAS KIND
OF WORRIED THAT I WOULDN'T GET
TO GRADUATE BECAUSE OF
THE PANDEMIC. AND I'M GLAD THAT
POINT LOMA SET UP A CEREMONY
FOR US. LAMBERT SAYS SHE
ALREADY HAS A TEACHING JOB
LINED UP FOR THE FALL.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL
THE GRADUATES OUT THERE AND OF
COURSE A LOT OF SCHOOLS KIND OF
PUT OFF THE GRADUATIONS CAUSE
THEY WERE HOPING FINGERS
CROSSED THAT MAYBE THIS LATE
EVEN AUGUST THAT THEY COULD DO
IT IN PERSON. BUT NOW IT'S SUCH
A. A BUDDY OF MINE, HIS KID
JUST GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL
OFFICIALLY TODAY. YEAH, SAME
KIND OF THING BECAUSE THEY WERE
THINKING WELL IF WE DO IT LATER
IT COULD BE IN PERSON AND NOW
THEY'RE ALL SENDING CARS. I
MEAN THEY ARE GETTING CREATIVE
AS WELL DRIVE BY AND
GRADUATIONS ONE TIME
GRADUATIONS PICTURE GRADUATE
AND IT DOESN'T TAKE
