THAT'S
THAT'S FOR SALE NEWS 85 STARTS NOW FOR A SECOND STRAIGHT DAY. A RECORD NUMBER OF COVERED 19
CASES IS BEING REPORTED IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY BUT THAT'S ALSO
OUT OF THE THIRD HIGHEST NUMBER
OF TESTS PERFORMED IN A SINGLE
DAY. GOOD EVENING AND THANKS
FOR JOINING US. I'M MARCELLA
LEE. I'M CARLOS SHIKATA.
THE COUNTY IS REPORTING THREE
HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE NEW CASES
OF COVERED 19 OUT OF NEARLY 90
500 TESTS. THAT'S A POSITIVE
RATE OF ABOUT THREE POINT FIVE
PERCENT JUST ABOVE THE 14 DAY
ROLLING AVERAGE OF THREE POINT
ONE PERCENT. THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF CASES IS UP TO ELEVEN
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SIXTY ONE
.MORE THAN EIGHTY SIX HUNDRED
HAVE RECOVERED FOR AN EIGHTH
STRAIGHT DAY. THE COUNTY HIT
ITS TRIGGER ON COMMUNITY
OUTBREAKS WITH SEVEN REPORTED
IN THE PAST SEVEN DAYS. FIVE
MORE DEATHS WERE REPORTED
BRINGING THAT TOTAL TO 352.
WHILE IT IS NOW MANDATORY TO
WEAR A MASK IN PUBLIC SPACES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA, MANY ARE NOT
FOLLOWING THE HEALTH ORDER AND
THE DEBATE IS CONTROVERSIAL
THROUGHOUT THE HOUR. WE'RE
GOING TO LOOK INTO A NUMBER OF
STORIES SURROUNDING MASKS AND
IN JUST A FEW MINUTES YOU CAN
WEIGH IN ON TONIGHT'S WEB POLL
QUESTION. BUT WE BEGIN WITH SAN
DIEGO ADS AND WHETHER THEY'RE
FOLLOWING THE MASK RULES OR IF
THEY EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
HERE'S OUR HEATHER HOPE, RIGHT?
AND THAT CONTROVERSY OVER FAITH
COVERINGS CONTINUES OF SOME
WANTING TO WEAR THEM AND SOME
NOT. SOMETHING THAT'S FOR
SAFETY REASONS, OTHER CALLING
IT POLITICAL. THEN THERE'S THAT
ISSUE WHEN YOU'RE AT THE BEACH
AND YOU FALL INTO A GRAY AREA
FOR THOSE EXERCISE SAYING
THE RULES GET MURKY. THIS ISN'T
A VERY SORE SUBJECT HAVING
PEOPLE NOT WEARING A MASK.
ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG PEOPLE
THIS COUPLE AT LA HOYA SHORES
DID NOT WANT TO GIVE THEIR
NAMES AFTER GETTING INTO A
HEATED ARGUMENT OVER MASKS THEY
SAY WITH A GROUP OF YOUNG
KAYAKERS. HE WAS NOT WORSHIPED
MASK AND WE JUST HAD AN
UNPLEASANT MOMENT BUT WE LEFT.
THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND AND THAT
THEY'RE NOT WEARING A MASK
AFFECTS A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE.
THERE WAS MIXED REACTION OVER
WEARING MASKS WHILE INSIDE
THE STORE. IF IT'S GONNA HELP,
I'M ALL FOR IT. I THINK IT'S A
LITTLE BIT OVER THE TOP
PERSONALLY. THIS SHOPPER YANKED
HIS MASK DOWN LOVE. OH I HATE
IT TOTALLY. HE FELT THE MASK
REQUIREMENT WAS POLITICAL. I
THINK OUR GOVERNOR IS AN IDIOT.
PATRICIA ANDERSON SAYS SHE GETS
UPSET WHEN SHE SEES PEOPLE NOT
WEARING A FACE COVERING A KIND
LIKE ANGRY BECAUSE THEY NEED TO
HAVE, YOU KNOW, STAY WITHIN
THE GUIDELINES LIKE EVERYBODY
SAID THAT YOU KNOW, THEY NEED
TO ACTUALLY HAVE ON A MATH
SUIT. A LAWYER SAYS SHE CALLS
OUT NON MASK WEARING VIOLATORS
AT THE STORE. I HAVE A LOT OF
PEOPLE THAT I SEE THAT DON'T
WANT TO OR THEY'LL WEAR IT
LOWER DOWN. STILL SOME SAN
DIEGO ADS ARE CALLING THE PRO
MASK CULTURE OVERKILL. I'M
PREGNANT RIGHT NOW SO I THINK
MY CHILD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GAIN IMMUNITY THROUGH ME. SO
I'VE BEEN TRYING NOT WEAR A
MASK AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. I
THINK WE'RE KIND OF OVERDOING
IT A LITTLE. AS FOR HOW LONG HE
PLANS TO WEAR MASK. NOT UNTIL
THE PANDEMIC IS PLANNED. IT
HAS GONE WHEN IT COMES TO FACE
COVERINGS AT LA HOYA SHORES.
IT'S A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING
LATELY I THINK BECAUSE FIRST IT
WAS JUST WHEN YOU GO INSIDE.
NOW IN CALIFORNIA, MANDATORY
GUIDELINES SAY PEOPLE IN
OUTDOOR WORK OR RECREATION SUCH
AS SWIMMING, WALKING, HIKING,
BICYCLING OR RUNNING DON'T HAVE
TO WEAR MASK. BUT THE GOAL IS
TO MAINTAIN A DISTANCE OF AT
LEAST SIX FEET FROM OTHER
PEOPLE. IT'S NOT EASY
ESPECIALLY AT A 3 YEAR OLD. YOU
KNOW, TO EXPLAIN WHY MASK AND
ALL THAT STUFF. IT'S REALLY A
QUESTION OF PERSONAL
RESPONSABLE IF YOU'RE GOING TO
BE REALLY CLOSE TO PEOPLE AND
YOU HAVE A MASK WITH YOU. YOU
COULD COVER THE STATEWIDE MASK
MANDATE IS STILL IN EFFECT FOR
CALIFORNIA AND NEW AT 630. WE
HAVE MUCH MORE OPINIONS ON THIS
MASKED DEBATE. I'LL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANKS,
HEATHER. OKAY. WELL, WE'D LIKE
TO HEAR FROM YOU. ARE YOU
FOLLOWING STATE GUIDELINES AND
WEARING A MASK IN PUBLIC
SPACES? YOUR CHOICES SOMETIMES
ALWAYS OR NEVER ACTUALLY
BACKWARDS EXCUSE ALWAYS
SOMETIMES OR NEVER. WE JUST GOT
THIS PULL UP. NINETY FOUR
PERCENT THOUGH RIGHT NOW SAY
YOU ALWAYS WEAR A MASK IN
PUBLIC SPACES. FOUR PERCENT SAY
SOMETIMES ONLY TWO PERCENT OF
OUR VIEWERS SAY NEVER. AT THIS
POINT. BUT YOU CAN STILL CHIME
IN AND GO TO CBS MACOMB SLASH
VOTE. YOU CAN ALSO USE THE NEWS
8 APP AND WE'RE GOING TO UPDATE
THE RESULTS A BIT LATER IN OUR
NEWSCAST. WE'LL HAVE A LOT MORE
ABOUT MASKS THROUGHOUT OUR
NEWSCAST IN FACT. YEAH, THAT'S
CAN INCLUDE A VERIFIED REPORT
ABOUT SO-CALLED FACE MASK
EXEMPT CARDS AND WARNINGS ON
FACE MASK BOXES THAT SAY THEY
DON'T PROTECT YOU FROM COVE.
PLUS LATER THE PSYCHOLOGY
BEHIND WEARING A MASK. WHY SOME
PEOPLE DO WHEN A CLOSER LOOK
INTO WHY SOME PEOPLE DON'T.
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICERS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA ARE UNDER INCREASING
SCRUTINY OVER THEIR ORDERS THIS
WEEK SOMEONE MADE PUBLIC
THE HOME ADDRESS OF DOCTOR
WILMA WOOTEN WHILE EXPRESSING
FRUSTRATION OVER HER MASK
POLICY AND THE PACE OF RE
OPENINGS. AS BRANDON LEWIS
EXPLAINS, THIS IS NOT AN
ISOLATED INCIDENT IN THE STATE
CARLO AND MARCELLA. THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT AND THE COUNTY
GENERALLY DON'T EVEN LIKE TO
DISCUSS THE EXISTENCE OF SOME
OF THESE THREATS. BUT
THE REALITY IS THEY ARE
HAPPENING NOT ONLY HERE IN SAN
DIEGO BUT ALSO IN COUNTIES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. AS MORE
BUSINESSES PUSH TO REOPEN IN
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICERS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA ARE FACING
UNPRECEDENTED PERSONAL ATTACKS
DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND I
DON'T MEAN TO PICK ON YOU WHICH
MEANS YOU CAN HAVE A THYROID
CONDITION. WELL, I KNOW BUT
WHEN I SEE YOU WALK UP AND DOWN
TO THE PODIUM, YOU DO NOT LOOK
LIKE YOU ARE MEDICALLY HEALTHY.
ON TUESDAY THE SAME WOMAN WHO
IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS TERESA
GAVE OUT DR. WILMA WALTON'S
HOME ADDRESS AMID FRUSTRATION
OVER HER HEALTH OFFICERS ORDER.
SHE'S BEEN DOING ACTUALLY A TOP
VERY TOUGH JOB. I THINK SHE'S
DONE PRETTY WELL. SHE'S BEEN
FAIR. SHE'S ACTUALLY GONE ALONG
WITH OPENING UP A BUSINESSES
AND THINGS LIKE THAT. AND SO I
THINK THE COMMENT MADE
CONCERNING HER, YOU KNOW, ABOUT
HER WAS COMPLETELY
UNACCEPTABLE. THE COUNTY
REMOVED PORTIONS OF CHOICE AS
COMMENTS FROM ITS ONLINE VIDEO
TO PROTECT PRIVACY. BUT IT'S
NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN FOUR CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES ARE INVESTIGATING
THREATS AGAINST THEIR HEALTH
OFFICERS. DOCTOR NICOLE QUICK
RESIGNED EARLIER THIS MONTH
FROM HER POST IN ORANGE COUNTY
AFTER FACING THREATS AND
PROTESTS AT HER HOME. LOCALLY A
SMALL GROUP CLAIMS THEY WANT
THE STATE TO REVOKE DR WALTON'S
MEDICAL LICENSE EVEN AS SHE AND
THE COUNTY ROUTINELY DECLINED
TO EVEN DISCUSS THE EXISTENCE
OF ANY THREATS. WE'RE NOT GOING
TO GET GOING IN ANY DETAILS
ABOUT THAT. WE WILL. OUR FOCUS
IS TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND
HELP TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC'S
HEALTH. THANK YOU. SO FAR
WOOTEN IS NOT LETTING IT IMPACT
HER. SHE STOOD HER GROUND ON
PAUSING ADDITIONAL REOPENING AS
CASES INCREASE IF WE ARE STILL
CONSISTENTLY ABOVE SEVEN.
COMMUNITY OUTBREAKS WHICH IS
THE TRIGGER IT WOULD BE ILL
FATED TO RECOMMEND CONTINUED
OPENING DURING THAT SAME TIME
PERIOD. THE SUPERVISORS LATER
VOTED 41 TO ASK THE GOVERNOR
FOR GUIDANCE ON REOPENING MORE
BUSINESSES BUT ADDED A CAVEAT
THAT IT WOULD ONLY ACTUALLY
HAPPEN WITH HUTTON'S APPROVAL.
HER JOB IS TO KEEP US HEALTHY
AND SAFE. AND SHE'S DOING A
FINE JOB OF THAT. BE HONEST
WITH ALL OF THE OPENINGS I'VE
BEEN UP TO HER AND
THE GOVERNOR. AND SO SHE HAS
ALLOWED THE OPENINGS TO HAPPEN.
I'M QUITE PLEASED AT THE PACE
THAT SHE'S DOING IT SO FAR. LAW
ENFORCEMENT ACROSS CALIFORNIA
HASN'T TAKEN ACTION AGAINST
THOSE WHO HAVE MADE ANY THREATS
TOWARD THE PUBLIC HEALTH
OFFICERS AND OTHER THAN
THE INSTANCE IN ORANGE COUNTY.
IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE HAVING
ANY EFFECT ON THEM AT LEAST
JUST YET. WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO
YOU. ALL RIGHT, BRENDAN,
THANKS. A MAN WHO MURDERED A
SAN DIEGO POLICE OFFICER HAS
BEEN GRANTED PAROLE. HE'S
CASINO WAS GRANTED PAROLE
YESTERDAY DURING A VIDEO
CONFERENCE HEARING AT VALLEY
STATE PRISON IN CENTRAL
CALIFORNIA. HE WAS CONVICTED OF
SHOOTING AND KILLING OFFICER
ARCHIE BUGS BACK IN 1978. TODAY
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SOMMER STEFAN
SAID SHE IS HOPEFUL THAT
GOVERNOR NEWSOME WILL REVIEW
AND REVERSE THAT DECISION.
SUSANNAH WAS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED
PAROLE THREE TIMES BUT EACH
TIME THOSE DECISIONS WERE
REVERSED THREE LOCAL MAYORS ARE
LAUNCHING A NEW EFFORT TO FEED
SAN DIEGO. IT'S CALLED
THE SUPER PANTRY AND IT WILL
SERVE ABOUT 130000 PEOPLE. NEWS
8 CHRIS CROWE HAS MORE ON
THE NEW PROGRAM FROM THE SAN
DIEGO FOOD BANK AND MARCELLA
CARLO. IF YOU REMEMBER WE SAW
THOSE MASS DISTRIBUTION SITES
EARLY ON DURING KOVIC 19
PANDEMIC AND THAT STAY AT HOME
ORDER. WELL, THIS IS MEANT TO
BRIDGE THE GAP TO HELP THOSE
PEOPLE WHO WERE MAYBE IN LINE
THAT DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO
ACTUALLY PICK UP FOOD AT SOME
OF THOSE DISTRIBUTIONS. AND SO
THIS SUPER PANTRY PROGRAM IS
GOING TO HAVE 35 SITES COUNTY
WIDE. THEY'LL START SERVING ON
JULY 1ST BUT THEY'LL BE AS FAR
NORTH AS FALLBROOK AS FAR DOWN
SOUTH THE SAN JOE AND ABOUT AS
FAR EAST AS SANTEE. NOW THEY
EXPECT TO ABOUT AN ESTIMATE OF
ONE POINT TWO MILLION POUNDS OF
EMERGENCY GROCERIES TO BE
SERVED ABOUT ONE HUNDRED THIRTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE PER MOM. THAT'S
A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. WE SAW
TODAY THAT REPRESENTATIVES FROM
SOME OF THESE NONPROFIT
DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS CAME BY
FOR A DRIVE THRU CHECK
PRESENTATION. EACH OF THEM
RECEIVED ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS FOR IT. CAPACITY
BUILDING ESSENTIALLY SUPPLIES
TO HELP MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN
BE UP AND RUNNING BY JULY 1ST.
AGAIN, THIS IS TO HELP BRIDGE
THE GAP. AFTER THOSE MASS
DISTRIBUTION SITES FELL OFF AND
WITH THE KOBE 19 PANDEMIC STILL
GOING ON RIGHT NOW, WE WANTED
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE
PREPARED TO SERVE EVERYBODY. SO
THOSE GRANTS WOULD GO TOWARDS
ITEMS LIKE REFRIGERATION UNITS,
PALLET JACK STORAGE UNITS AND
REALLY WAS EXCITED ABOUT THIS
AS SHORT TERM. IT HELPS US
SERVE THE COMMUNITY THROUGH
THE KOBE CRISES. BUT WHEN
THE CLIMATE CRISIS IS PASSED,
WE'VE REBUILT AND IMPROVED ON
OUR DISTRIBUTION MODEL. SO THIS
HAS LONG TERM BENEFITS TO OUR
COMMUNITY. AND SO THESE
DISTRIBUTION SITES WILL GO LIVE
STARTING ON JULY 1ST FOR A
COMPLETE LIST OF WHERE THESE
LOCATIONS ARE GOING TO BE DOWN.
FROM FALLBROOK ALL THE WAY DOWN
