EVENING
EVENING AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. I'M FELICIA SUMMERS. STEVE PRICE HAS
THE NIGHT OFF. CLASSES WERE
SUSPENDED LAST MONTH AS MORE
THAN 1000 STUDENTS TESTED
POSITIVE FOR CORONA VIRUS MUSIC
TO BRANDON LEWIS EXPLAINS WHY
THE CLASSES ARE RESTARTING NOW
AND HOW THE UNIVERSITY PLANS TO
KEEP STUDENTS AND THE COMMUNITY
SAFE. ALISHA SDI AS YOU SAYS
THEY ARE ONLY RESUMING CLASSES
THAT HAVE WORKED THAT CAN'T
HAPPEN VIRTUALLY. THAT'S WHY
THEY ARE STARTING THESE CLASSES
FIRST ON THE IN-PERSON LEARNING
AND EVERYONE WHO ATTENDS THEM
WILL HAVE TO GET TESTED FOR
CORONA VIRUS VERY THINGS IN
PRETTY CALM. THEY'VE BEEN
TAKING A LOT OF PRECAUTIONS TO
MAKE THAT WE'RE SAFE ABOUT 2000
AS TANKS ARE HEADING BACK TO
THE CLASSROOM THIS WEEK FOR
IN-PERSON LEARNING. NEARLY SIX
WEEKS AFTER IT WAS SUSPENDED
BECAUSE OF A COVERT OUTBREAK,
VIRTUAL CLASSES ARE REALLY HARD
TO KEEP UP WITH JUST BECAUSE
THEY KIND OF ASSIGN A LOT OF
ASSIGNMENTS JUST LIKE RANDOMLY
INSTEAD OF LIKE THE WAY IT
WOULD USUALLY BE. AS D.S. YU
SAYS, MOST CLASSES WILL REMAIN
VIRTUAL ADDING QUOTE THESE
COURSES CAN NOT BE FULLY
CARRIED OUT IN THE VIRTUAL
SPACE DUE TO EQUIPMENT USE. OFF
CAMPUS RESEARCH OR CLINICAL
REQUIREMENTS OR BECAUSE OF
ACCREDITATION OR LICENSING
REQUIREMENTS. UNQUOTE. MORE
THAN 11 HUNDRED STUDENTS HAVE
TESTED POSITIVE SINCE
THE SEMESTER BEGAN THE MOST OF
ANY UNIVERSITY IN THE PACIFIC
TIME ZONE ACCORDING TO A NEW
YORK TIMES ANALYSIS. TWO THIRDS
OF THEM LIVE OFF CAMPUS. HEALTH
OFFICIALS SAY THE VIRUS SPREAD
QUICKLY AND IT IS LIKELY THAT
OF ONE OR MORE CLUSTERING TYPE
EVENTS OCCURRED IN THAT STUDENT
POPULATION PROBABLY RELATED TO
SOCIAL GATHERINGS. AT APARTMENT
BUILDINGS AND OTHER PLACES OFF
CAMPUS THAT THEN LED TO THIS
LARGE NUMBER OF CASES. SAN
DIEGO STATE IS REQUIRING ALL
STUDENT TO ATTEND IN-PERSON
CLASSES TO GET TESTED FOR
CORBETT 19 AT LEAST EVERY TWO
WEEKS. SOME STUDENTS HOPE MORE
CLASSES WILL SOON RESUME IN
PERSON WHEN IT'S SAFE TO DO SO.
IT'S HARDER BECAUSE LIKE YOU
CAN'T REALLY MEET ANY
CLASSMATES LIKE STUDY WORK AND
STUFF LIKE THAT. LIKE IT'S HARD
TO MEET PEOPLE LIKE YOU LIKE
YOUR ONLINE CLASS. MOST OF
THE CASES OF CORONAVIRUS AMONG
THE STUDENT POPULATION HAPPENED
OFF CAMPUS. THE SCHOOL SAYS
THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE A SLOW
AND METHODICAL APPROACH TO
RESUMING IN-PERSON CLASSES
STARTING WITH ONLY THOSE THAT
ARE ESSENTIAL RIGHT NOW. ALICIA
AND HERE ARE THE LATEST COVERT
NUMBERS FROM COUNTY HEALTH
OFFICIALS. FOUR HUNDRED EIGHT
NEW CASES WERE CONFIRMED OUT OF
NEARLY 10000 TESTS. THAT'S A
POSITIVE RATE OF ABOUT 4
PERCENT. A 14 DAY ROLLING
AVERAGE IS JUST UNDER 3 PERCENT
.ONE NEW DEATH BRINGS THAT
TOTAL TO EIGHT HUNDRED TWENTY
SIX SEVEN NEW OUTBREAKS WERE
REPORTED FOR A TOTAL OF FORTY
FIVE IN THE PAST WEEK FAR ABOVE
THE TRIGGER OF SEVEN SMALL
BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO FEEL
THE EFFECTS OF THE LOCKDOWN.
SOME HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORCED
TO CLOSE THEIR DOORS FOR GOOD
WHILE OTHERS ARE BARELY HANGING
ON. NEWS 8 CARRIE LANE IS IN
LIBERTY STATION WHERE ONE LOCAL
BUSINESS IS NOW FACED WITH THIS
HARSH REALITY. ALICIA
ORIGINALLY THERE WAS
LEGISLATION PROTECTING
COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES FROM
BEING EVICTED. HOWEVER THAT
EXPIRED END OF SEPTEMBER AS
RESULT. NOW PLACES LIKE SAN
DIEGO GYMNASTICS IS BEING
THREATENED TO PAY OR GET OUT.
IT'S SO INHUMANE. IT'S SO IT'S
SO MEAN. IT'S SO UNPROFESSIONAL
THE WAY THAT IT'S GOING.
CHRISTINA GRADY IS THE OWNER OF
SAN DIEGO GYMNASTICS LOCATED IN
LIBERTY STATION. THEIR DOORS
HAVE BEEN OPEN FOR THE PAST 12
YEARS. WE'RE ONE OF THE FIRST
PEOPLE THAT CAME TO LIBERTY
STATION WHEN IT OPENED AND WE
FEEL LIKE WE'RE A PART
THE FOUNDATION. JUST A FEW DAYS
AFTER THE MORATORIUM EXPIRED
FOR COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES, SAN
DIEGO GYMNASTICS WAS HIT WITH
AN EVICTION NOTICE.
THE BUILDING IS OWNED BY TOWER
INVESTMENTS, A COMPANY BASED
OUT OF SACRAMENTO. CHRISTINA
SAYS THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN
WILLING TO WORK WITH HER ON A
PAYMENT PLAN. THEY HAVE
BASICALLY SAID DON'T TALK TO
US, TALK TO OUR LAWYERS OR OUR
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. PROPERTY
MANAGEMENT. ALL EVERYTHING IN
THE LEASE IS STILL IN EFFECT
AND WE WILL DO NO MORE THAN
WHAT THE CITY MORATORIUM
REQUIRES OF US. WE'LL DO NO
MORE AND WE WILL DO NO LESS. WE
REACHED OUT TO TOWER
INVESTMENTS AND RECEIVED THIS
STATEMENT FROM THEIR ATTORNEY.
QUOTE WE REPEATEDLY REQUESTED
FINANCIAL INFORMATION FROM
THE TENANT SEEKING HER
COOPERATION TO AMICABLY RESOLVE
FOUR CONCERNS RELATED TO
COVERED AS WE HAVE WITH OTHER
TENANTS. FOR WHATEVER REASON,
DESPITE DOZENS OF REQUESTS, SHE
REFUSES AND INSTEAD DEMANDS
THAT WE AGREE TO HER TERMS
WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF
THE FACTS. WE REMAIN WILLING TO
WORK WITH HER BUT WE CAN'T HELP
HER IF SHE REFUSES TO HELP
HERSELF. ACCORDING TO CHRISTINA
,SHE IS REQUESTING RHETT
RELEASE FOR THE THREE MONTHS
THEY WERE CLOSE AND HAS
PROVIDED INFORMATION SHOWING
FINANCIAL HARDSHIP THROUGH HER
CORPORATE FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS.
SHE SAYS HER LANDLORD'S
ATTORNEY THEN WENT AS FAR AS
ASKING FOR HER PERSONAL
FINANCIAL INFORMATION WHICH
CHRISTINA'S ATTORNEY HAS SAID
IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT IS
LEGALLY REQUIRED. CHRISTINA
SAYS THE HARDEST PART ABOUT ALL
THIS IS THAT SHE HAD TO OBTAIN
AN ATTORNEY THAT IS COSTING HER
AN ADDITIONAL 5 THOUSAND
DOLLARS A MONTH WHICH IS MAKING
IT EVEN MORE UNREALISTIC FOR
HER TO COME UP WITH THE RENT.
ALICIA WILL GET IT BACK TO YOU
FOR NOW. CARRIE, THANK YOU.
TODAY IS NATIONAL COMING OUT
DAY AND THIS YEAR POSES EXTRA
CHALLENGES FOR LGBTQ
INDIVIDUALS WHO STILL HAVEN'T
COME OUT OF THEIR FIT COME OUT
TO THEIR FAMILY OR FRIENDS
ABOUT THEIR SEXUALITY.
THE PANDEMIC IS MAKING WHAT CAN
BE AN ALREADY EXTREMELY TOUGH
PROCESS. EVEN HARDER IS AIDS.
KELLY HAS IT ALL. HAS
THE STORY. WELL, THE PANDEMIC
ADDS MORE CHALLENGES TO WHAT IS
ALREADY A DIFFICULT AND
SOMETIMES SCARY PROCESS. I
TALKED TO SOMEONE WITH SAN
DIEGO PRIDE WHO SAYS MORE YOUTH
THAN EVER ARE REACHING OUT TO
THEM. WE'VE SEEN MORE YOUTH
ENGAGE WITH OUR PROGRAMS THAN
EVER BEFORE. SO I THINK THAT
THERE IS A SAFETY IN THE ONLINE
SPACE. JENN LA BARBARA IS
THE EDUCATION ADVOCACY MANAGER
AT SAN DIEGO PRIDE AND SHE SAYS
NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY IS AN
IMPORTANT MILESTONE IN THIS
COUNTRY. IT'S BEEN CELEBRATED
FOR THE PAST THREE DECADES
MARKING THE ANNIVERSARY OF
THE 1987 NATIONAL MARCH ON
WASHINGTON FOR LESBIAN GAY
RIGHTS. THAT IDEA KICKING THAT
DOOR DOWN AND KICKING OPEN OF
THE CLOSET DOORS FOR ANYBODY
THAT IS ABLE AND SAFE IS SAFE
FOR THEM TO COME OUT OF
THE CLOSET. BARBARA SAYS
THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN
ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT FOR LGBT
YOUTH WHO AREN'T OPEN YET ABOUT
THEIR SEXUALITY. MAYBE THEY'RE
USED TO BEING ABLE TO GO TO
SCHOOL AND THEY COULD BE OUT AT
SCHOOL EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T OUT
AT HOME IN OTHER HOME ALL
THE TIME 24/7. AND WE HAVE SO
MANY PARENTS WHO ARE AFFIRMING
AND SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR YOUTH
AND WE ALSO HAVE A LOT OF
PARENTS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO
ARE STILL NOT QUITE THERE YET.
SHE SAYS A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE
SHE'S TALKED TO ARE HAVING
DIFFICULTY TALKING TO THEIR
PARENTS. SOME ARE ALSO DEALING
WITH THIS. WE HAVE A LOT OF
YOUTH THAT MAY BE OUT TO THEIR
PARENTS AS GAY BUT ARE NOT OUT
TO THEIR PARENTS AS TRANSGENDER
OR NON BINARY. THAT'S STILL A
THING THAT IS A STRUGGLE FOR
THEM. HER ADVICE TO ANYONE WHO
HASN'T YET FELT COMFORTABLE
ABOUT COMING OUT TO THE WORLD
YET MAKE SURE IT'S SAFE TO DO
SO. KNOW THAT IF AND WHEN YOU
ARE READY TO COME OUT YOU HAVE
AN ENTIRE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY
OR READING WITH OPEN ARMS TO
WELCOME YOU. SHE SAYS THOUGH
THEIR COMMUNITY HAS GAINED SO
MANY RIGHTS THAT WOULD HAVE
BEEN UNIMAGINABLE 30 YEARS AGO.
THEIR FIGHT FOR EQUALITY IS
STILL FAR FROM OVER. KELLY HAS
IT ALL NEWS 8 SEVERAL CHULA
VISTA BUSINESSES ARE ASSESSING
THE DAMAGE FROM A THREE ALARM
FIRE THAT BROKE OUT JUST BEFORE
SUNRISE. THE FIRE WAS REPORTED
AT AROUND 520 THIS MORNING IN A
STRIP MALL IN THE ELEVEN
HUNDRED BLOCK OF THIRD AVENUE.
SMOKE WAS SHOWING FROM A CAR
AUTO SHOP WHEN FIREFIGHTERS
ARRIVED. THAT BUSINESS RECEIVED
THE MOST DAMAGE TO NEIGHBORING
BUSINESSES, RECEIVED SMOKE
DAMAGE. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS
HURT. THE CAUSE IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION AND AROUND
THE SAME TIME ANOTHER FIRE ALSO
DAMAGED A RESTAURANT AND A
DOLLAR STORE IN LINCOLN PARK.
THE CALL CAME IN JUST BEFORE
6:00 FROM HER N.C. US MEXICAN
FOOD RESTAURANT. IN THE FIVE
THOUSAND BLOCK OF LOGAN AVENUE,
FIREFIGHTERS KNOCK DOWN
THE FLAMES IN ABOUT AN HOUR. NO
ONE WAS HURT BUT THE FLAMES
SPREAD TO THE FAMILY DOLLAR
STORE NEXT DOOR. THAT FIRE IS
ALSO UNDER INVESTIGATION.
THE CALENDAR MAY SAY FALL BUT
SUMMER LIKE TEMPERATURES IN
SANTA ANA, WINDS ARE SET TO
RETURN THIS WEEK AND AFTER
SEVERAL MONTHS WITHOUT RAIN IN
SAN DIEGO, IT WON'T TAKE MUCH
TO RAISE THE FIRE DANGER. IT'S
IT'S A COUNTY WIDE PROBLEM.
IT'S A REGION WIDE ISSUE AND OF
COURSE IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
KNOW IS THERE. WE PREPARE FOR
OUR BIG MESSAGES AS WE WANT
THE PUBLIC TO BE PREPARED RIGHT
THERE WITH US. CAL FIRE URGES
EVERY FAMILY TO HAVE A PLAN TO
LEAVE ON SHORT NOTICE AND TO
CREATE DEFENSIBLE SPACE AROUND
YOUR HOME. NOW IN A SAFE
MANNER. FOR A LOOK AT JUST HOW
HOT IT COULD GET, LET'S TURN TO
METEOROLOGIST SEAN STILES. HE'S
STANDING BY WITH A FIRST LOOK
AT YOUR MICROCLIMATE FORECAST.
SEAN? GOOD EVENING, ALICIA.
YEAH, WE'RE IN STORE FOR
ANOTHER HEAT WAVE. THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A BROKEN RECORD. YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. WE'VE GOT
OURSELVES THAT HEAT ADVISORY AT
LEAST AT THIS POINT STARTING TO
TUESDAY AT 11:00 A.M. AND THAT
WILL GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH
FRIDAY. NOW ONCE WE GET INTO
THIS HEAT WAVE, I THINK
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS
PROBABLY GOING TO WRAP THIS UP
BUT IT'S FROM THE COAST ALL
THE WAY TO THE MOUNTAINTOPS,
NOT DOWN INTO THE DESERT. BUT
AS I SAID, THAT'S GOING TO
CHANGE. HERE'S A LOOK AT
THE HIGHS AROUND SAN DIEGO
TODAY. AND AS YOU LOOK AT THEM,
YOU GO WOW, THIS IS THIS IS
JUST WHERE I LIKE IT LOW 80S
INLAND. LOW 70S IN THE COASTAL
STRIP IN TRANSITIONING FROM
THE INLAND MICROCLIMATE TO
THE COASTAL AREA. YOU'RE IN
THE MID 70S, THE MOUNTAINS MID
70S EVEN BORREGO BEAUTIFUL AT
94. BUT THAT IS ALL GOING TO
CHANGE STARTING TOMORROW WE'RE
GOING. EIGHTY SIX EIGHTY SEVEN
EIGHTY FOUR. THAT'S
THE COASTLINE NOT THE INLAND
MICROCLIMATE AND THE AVERAGE
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS
SEVENTY FOUR. TAKE A LOOK
WHAT'S HEADING YOUR WAY IF
YOU'RE IN THE INLAND
MICROCLIMATE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT NINETY EIGHT DEGREES ON
TUESDAY. SO WE'RE GOING TO SEE
TEMPERATURES ANYWHERE
