THE
THE 11:00
THE 11:00 A.M. GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY. THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING. I'M ERIC CARTER. AND
I'M STELLA ESCOBEDO. GOOD
MORNING TO YOU. THANKS SO MUCH
FOR JOINING US. GOVERNOR GAVIN
NEWSOM IS EXPECTED TO LAY OUT A
ROADMAP TO OPEN OUR ECONOMY. IT
IS THE NEWS THAT MANY PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THOUGH IT
ISN'T CLEAR HOW SPECIFIC A
TIMELINE WE WILL RECEIVE TODAY
.THE REOPENING IS NOT EXPECTED
TO HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE AND
LEADERS WARN THE THREAT OF
CORONA VIRUS IS FAR FROM OVER.
HERE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY THERE
ARE NOW THREE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED FORTY ONE CONFIRMED
KOBE 19 CASES. THAT NUMBER IS
BELIEVED TO BE MUCH HIGHER.
THERE ARE NOW 113 DEATHS IN
THE COUNTY. ERIC AND AS WE WERE
MENTIONING SOME BEACHES HAVE
REOPENED WITH RESTRICTIONS
STARTING FRIDAY, FACIAL
COVERINGS WILL BE REQUIRED.
NEWS IS THAT A REPORT IS LIVE
WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM
THE GOVERNOR AND WHAT LOCAL
LEADERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
REOPENING THE YEAH, I THINK
THEY CREATED MAYORS OF NORTH
COUNTY GOT TOGETHER AND THEY
HELD A MEDIA CONFERENCE BY WAY
OF ZOOM AND THEY REALLY WANT TO
PUSH FOR THE STATE TO OPEN UP
SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES. WE'RE
HERE LIVE IN THE VILLAGE AT
CARLSBAD WHERE YOU CAN SEE A
LOT OF THESE BUSINESSES HAVE
BEEN HIT HARD. THE ONES THAT
ARE CONSIDERED NONESSENTIAL NOT
ABLE TO OPEN UP RIGHT NOW. SO A
LOT OF THESE NORTH COUNTY MAYOR
GOT TOGETHER AND COUNCIL
MEMBERS TO SAY HOW IMPORTANT IT
IS FOR THESE BUSINESSES TO
REOPEN. IN FACT, THEY WANT TO
GET THEM OPEN BACK UP AS EARLY
AS THIS FRIDAY. SO I THINK
MAYBE CREATIVE AND WE WE REALLY
NEED TO SHOOT FOR THAT FIRST
DATE AND PUT AS MUCH PRESSURE
ON THE STATE AS POSSIBLE. NOW
THOSE MAYORS ALONG THIS 78
CORRIDOR CONSIDER THEMSELVES
PART OF INNOVATE 78 AND TODAY'S
ZOO MEETING WAS HELD BY COUNTY
SUPERVISOR JIM DESMOND ALONG
WITH THE MAYORS OF CARLSBAD,
OCEANSIDE S CANDIDO, SAN MARCOS
AND VISTA. AND HERE IN CARLSBAD
,THE MAYOR POINTS OUT
THE TOURISM AND HOTEL INDUSTRY
ALONE SUPPORTS TWENTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE AND THEY'RE OUT OF WORK
WITH HOTELS BEING CLOSED.
PLACES LIKE LEGO LAND EMPLOY
3000 PEOPLE AND THEY REQUESTED
THE CITY'S HELP TO REOPEN ALONG
WITH SEVERAL OF THE BUSINESS
SAYS THROUGHOUT THE VILLAGE AT
CARLSBAD. NOW ALL OF THESE
MAYORS WANT TO OPEN BUSINESS
WITH SAFETY MEASURES IN PLACE
AND THAT WOULD MEAN ALLOWING
RESTAURANT GOERS TO SIT PEOPLE
SIX FEET APART, PERHAPS WAITING
LINES WOULD BE SPACED OUT EVEN
THEY SAY SALONS COULD OPEN WITH
EXTRA SANITATION AND PEOPLE
SITTING ONE CHAIR APART. MANY
BUSINESSES COULD ALSO CLOSE OFF
THEIR LOBBIES. SO PEOPLE ARE
NOT GATHERING TOGETHER AND THEY
WOULD HAVE PEOPLE WAIT IN THEIR
CARS AND TEXT WHEN THEIR
APPOINTMENT IS READY.
THE MAYORS ARE ALSO PUSHING FOR
PARKS GOLF COURSES AND BOATING
RESTRICTIONS TO BE LIFTED. THEY
HAVE ONLY CERTAIN RIGHTS DURING
THIS STAY AT HOME BORDER WHICH
WAS IMPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR. SO
THEY ARE HOPING THE GOVERNOR
TODAY ALLOWS FOR MORE LOCAL
CONTROL AND THESE ECONOMIC
DECISIONS. THE PRESIDENT
ACTUALLY GAVE STATES CONTROL
OVER LOOKING OR NOT. AND SO
WE'RE HOPING THE GOVERNOR LOSES
SOME OF THOSE ESSENTIAL STRINGS
AND IT'S WORKED. THE CENTRAL
BIT IT'S WORKED WITH
THE ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES AND
NOW WE WANT TO OPEN UP
THE NONESSENTIAL AND THE MAIN
FIRST JOB WAS PRIMARILY IT'S
LIKE WE SAID HUNKER DOWN MOTHER
APRIL. KNOW HOPEFULLY WE GET
OUR NUMBERS OUT AND WE DID
SUPERVISOR DESMOND DID SAY THAT
THROUGHOUT THE MONTH OF APRIL.
THEY'VE SEEN THE NUMBER OF
CASES GOING DOWN CONSIDERING
THE NUMBER OF TESTS THAT SAN
DIEGO HAVE TAKEN FOR COVER 19.
SO HE SAYS THOSE NUMBERS ARE
PROMISING ENOUGH THAT HE DOES
BELIEVE THESE RE-OPENING OF
BUSINESSES COULD HAPPEN AS
EARLY AS AGAIN MAY 1ST WHICH IS
THIS FRIDAY AND IN THE END A
LOT OF THIS CONTROL WILL BE UP
TO THE GOVERNOR. IT IS STATE
CONTROLLED AS FAR AS WHAT
THE PRESIDENT ALLOWED. NOW
THE GOVERNOR CAN ALLOW FOR
LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PLAY A
BIGGER ROLE. SO OF COURSE WE'RE
ALL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT
THE GOVERNOR HAS TO SAY. AND AS
YOU GUYS MENTIONED, HE'S PLAN
TO LAY OUT THAT ROAD MAP HERE
TODAY AT NOON AND WE WILL BE
AIRING THAT LIVE RIGHT HERE ON
CBS. AND THAT'S THE LATEST LIVE
IN CARLSBAD. WE'LL SEND IT BACK
TO YOU. THANK YOU. YEAH. WE
WILL BE WATCHING CLOSELY.
MEANWHILE, THE UNITED STATES
HAS SURPASSED 1 MILLION CASES
OF CORONA VIRUS HERE IN
THE UNITED STATES, 57000 DEATHS
SO FAR AND IT COMES AS MORE
STATES HAVE STARTED TO EASE
THE RESTRICTIONS THE STAY AT
HOME ORDERS. MICHAEL GEORGE
REPORTS FROM HARD HIT NEW YORK
WHERE THE STAY AT HOME
RESTRICTIONS ARE SET TO EXPIRE
MAY 15 WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDED
IN SOME PARTS OF THE STATE.
TEXAS IS RETURNING TO BUSINESS
STARTING FRIDAY. THE LONE STAR
STATE WILL ALLOW RESTAURANTS,
RETAILERS, MOVIE THEATERS AND
MALLS TO OPERATE AT 25 PERCENT
CAPACITY UNDER STRICT SOCIAL
DISTANCING GUIDELINES. I'M
HAPPY THAT WE CAN SEE THE LIGHT
AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. BUT
THE STATE'S DAILY COVERED CASES
HAVE BEEN HOVERING IN THE HIGH
TRIPLE DIGITS FOR MOST OF
THE PAST WEEK. AT LEAST ONE
DALLAS RESTAURANT OWNER SAYS HE
WON'T BE REOPENING FRIDAY EVEN
THOUGH HE CAN. I'D RATHER TAKE
OUR TIME GETTING BACK AND MAKE
SURE THAT THAT CURVE IS FULLY
FLATTENED OR ON ITS DECREASE.
AT LEAST 21 STATES HAVE NOW
EASED VARIOUS RESTRICTIONS. IN
MANY CASES WITHOUT MEETING
FEDERAL GUIDELINES ON
THE DECLINE IN REPORTED
ILLNESSES IN GEORGIA, MANY
RESTAURANT TABLES SAT EMPTY.
EVEN THOUGH DINING AREAS
REOPENED MONDAY, THIS MONTANA
MALL WAS ALSO BACK IN BUSINESS
WITH A SMALL BUT STEADY STREAM
OF CUSTOMERS. I THINK THAT
LARGELY MOST OF THE FOLKS ARE
ARE OBSERVING THE SOCIAL
DISTANCING. WHILE OTHER STATES
ARE OPENING BACK UP, OFFICIALS
HERE IN NEW YORK CITY ARE
PLANNING TO SHUT DOWN 40 MILES
OF ROADS TO CARS NEXT MONTH TO
ALLOW NEW YORKERS MORE ROOM TO
WALK AROUND. WHILE SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND THIS SOCIAL
MEDIA FOOTAGE FROM A PASSENGER
ON AN AMERICAN AIRLINES FLIGHT
FROM NEW YORK CITY TO CHARLOTTE
OVER THE WEEKEND CLEARLY SHOWS
A LACK OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND
SOME PASSENGERS ARE NOT WEARING
MASKS. IN A STATEMENT, AMERICAN
AIRLINES SAID IT'S LIMITING
THE NUMBER OF PASSENGERS ON
EACH AIRCRAFT AND GATE AGENTS
WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO REASSIGN
SEATS TO CREATE MORE SPACE
BETWEEN CUSTOMERS. AMERICAN
PLANS TO OFFER MASKS AND
DISINFECTANTS TO PASSENGERS
STARTING IN MAY. MICHAEL
GEORGE, CBS NEWS, NEW YORK.
BACK HERE AT HOME WHILE
THE SHORE AND SAND OF IMPERIAL
BEACH ARE OPEN, THE WATER IS
CLOSED BECAUSE OF CROSS-BORDER
POLLUTION AND TOO LATE. LEADERS
IN THE SOUTH BAY ARE DEMANDING
AN END TO THE CONSTANT FLOW OF
SEWAGE FROM MEXICO INTO THEIR
REGION. NEWS H CHRIS GROH IS
LIVE IN IAB THIS MORNING WITH
MORE ON THIS CHRIS. YES, GOOD
MORNING, ERIC. AND WE ARE
WAITING ON THOSE LEADERS TO
ADDRESS US BASICALLY TO OUTLINE
EXACTLY WHAT DEMANDS OR STEPS
THEY WANT TO TAKE BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY THIS HAS BEEN A
PROBLEM FOR DECADES. BUT
OBVIOUSLY NOW THINGS ARE A
LITTLE BIT MORE COMPLICATED
WITH THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC
GOING ON. THAT IS OBVIOUSLY
THE FOCUS OF A LOT OF PUBLIC
OFFICIALS AND LEADERS RIGHT
NOW. BUT THEY SAY THAT THIS
FLOW SPECIFICALLY HAS BEEN
GOING SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST
YEAR. AND RIGHT NOW THEY
BELIEVE THAT ABOUT 60 MILLION
GALLONS ON AVERAGE A DAY HAVE
BEEN FLOWING FOR THE LAST SIX
MONTHS. NOW THEY BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE STEPS THAT CAN BE
TAKEN TO STOP THE CROSS-BORDER
POLLUTION. WE EXPECT TO HEAR
ABOUT THOSE IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. BUT RIGHT NOW THAT
FLOW HAS REALLY LED TO THAT
FOUL SMELL IN THE AREA. WE'VE
BEEN SMELLING IT ALL MORNING.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE WATER
THE OCEAN WATER OUT HERE IS
CONTAMINATED. COUNTIES
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AGENCY HAS
SAID THAT THE WATER AND
THE OCEAN SHOULD BE CLOSED
DURING THIS TIME AS OFTEN WE
HAVE SEEN OCEAN WATER GET CLOSE
HERE WHENEVER THERE IS A FLOW
ISSUE COMING IN FROM THE TUBE
ON A RIVER. BUT EVEN WITH
THE BEACH OPEN FOR PEOPLE TO
USE FOR SAND FOR RUNNING AND
WALKING THERE ON THE SAND WE
DID SEE SOME PEOPLE BRAVING
THE WATER THIS MORNING. NOW
OBVIOUSLY THE RED TIDE IS GOING
ON SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT
DIFFERENT COLORED WATER. BUT
EVEN WITH THE CONTAMINATION AND
THE SCIENTISTS SAY THAT
THE BEACH AND OCEAN WERE
CLOSED, WE SAW MORE THAN A
HANDFUL OF PEOPLE STILL SURFING
BOOGIE BOARDING. WE EVEN SAW A
YOUNG CHILD GOING INTO
THE WATER WITH THEIR PARENTS.
SO AN IMPORTANT NOTICE AGAIN
THIS IS NOT RELATED TO ANY TYPE
OF STAY AT HOME ORDER. THIS IS
RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE HEALTH
OF THOSE WHO GO INTO THAT WATER
IN TERMS OF THIS CONTAMINATION
AGAIN. WE SAW THAT VIDEO THAT
WAS RELEASED EARLIER THIS MONTH
THAT SHOWED SEWAGE FLOWING
DIRECTLY INTO THE TIJUANA RIVER
AND ON THE SIDE OF MEXICO
ACROSS THE BORDER. THAT WAS
RELEASED AND IT SHOW IT SHOWED
IT FLOWING DIRECTLY INTO
THE TWO WANT A RIVER WHICH
AGAIN THEN FLOWS UP TO US AND
AGAIN THAT'S HOW WE GET THIS
CONTAMINATION HERE IN OUR OCEAN
WATERS. SO WE DO EXPECT TO HEAR
FROM THESE LOCAL LEADERS JUST A
LITTLE BIT. BUT AT THE SAME
TIME IT APPEARS THAT A LOCAL
GROUP OF ACTIVISTS HAVE
SEEMINGLY KIND OF SHOWN UP TO
PROTEST THE LOCAL LEADERS.
WE'LL TRY TO HEAR FROM THEM AS
WELL AS THOSE IN ATTENDANCE TO
SEE EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF STEPS
THEY HAVE IN MIND TO SOLVE
THIS. BACK TO YOU. CHRIS GROVE
REPORTING LIVE FOR US. THANKS,
CHRIS. SAN DIEGO MAYOR KEVIN
FAULCONER IS PLOTTING SAN DIEGO
FOR FOLLOWING SOCIAL DISTANCING
ORDERS. THE MAYOR JOINED SAN
DIEGO'S POLICE AND LIFEGUARD
CHIEFS TO MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT
.THEY ARE CAUTIONING PEOPLE
THOUGH NOT TO GROW COMPLACENT,
CITING SCENES NEWPORT IN
HUNTINGTON BEACH OVER
THE WEEKEND WHERE THOUSANDS
BROKE THE RULES. OFFICIALS
THERE ARE NOW CONSIDERING
CLOSING THOSE BEACHES AGAIN.
MEANWHILE, LEADERS HERE AT HOME
SAY THIS SHOULD SERVE AS A
REMINDER REALLY NEED PEOPLE TO
COOPERATE AND BE ONE BIG TEAM
AND THE SOONER WE CAN DO THAT
AGAIN WE MOVE ON TO PHASE TWO
WHICH TAKES AWAY SOME OF THOSE
RESTRICTIONS EVEN WITH
RESTRICTIONS. MANY BEACHSIDE
BUSINESSES SAW A MUCH
APPRECIATED BOOST IN BUSINESS
GELATO ONE TO ONE IN ENCINITAS
