IS
IS HOLDING YOU BACK ON THE ROADS THIS MORNING. MUSIC THIS MORNING GOOD MORNING
EVERYONE. I'M ERIC CARTER ALONG
WITH STELLA ESCOVEDO. WE THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE WITH
US. WE WANT TO START WITH HOW
THE CORONA VIRUS IS IMPACTING
US HERE LOCALLY IN SAN DIEGO
COUNTY. THERE ARE NOW TWO
THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY FIVE CONFIRMED CASES
SADLY 72 PEOPLE HERE HAVE DIED.
BUT GOOD NEWS. COUNTY DATA
SHOWS MORE THAN 13 HUNDRED
PEOPLE HAVE RECOVERED. COUNTY
LEADERS SAY THEY'RE VERY AWARE
OF THE UNREST OVER STAY AT HOME
WATERS AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS
WEEKEND'S PROTESTS. A FEW
STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE
STARTING TO REOPEN. THIS
INCLUDES TENNESSEE, GEORGIA AND
SOUTH CAROLINA. OTHER GOVERNORS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY DISAGREE
WITH THIS SAYING NOW IS NOT
THE TIME TO EASE UP. BUT WHITE
HOUSE RESPONSE COORDINATOR DR.
BURKE SAYS IT IS UP TO
THE STATES EACH OF
THE GOVERNORS CAN DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES WHETHER THEY'VE
REACHED SPECIFIC GUIDELINES IN
SPECIFIC AREAS. SO FAR NEITHER
STATE IN EITHER OF THE STATES
HAVE ACHIEVED THE HEALTH
BENCHMARKS SET BY THE WHITE
HOUSE THAT INCLUDES TWO WEEKS
OF DECLINING INFECTION NUMBERS.
WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE
NUMBERS, THE IMPACT
THE OUTBREAK IS HAVING RIGHT
NOW. WORLDWIDE MORE THAN TWO
POINT FOUR MILLION CASES ABOUT
A THIRD OF THOSE CASES HERE IN
THE U.S.. MORE THAN SEVEN
HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR THOUSAND OF
THEM MORE THAN FORTY TWO
THOUSAND DEATHS HERE IN THE US
AND MORE THAN SEVENTY THREE
THOUSAND RECOVERIES. SO THAT'S
THREE THOUSAND IS ABOUT 10
PERCENT OF THE TOTAL CASES. NOW
OVER TO STELLA ERIC ROBERT
COUNTRY IS NOT REOPENING
BUSINESSES. SOME PARKS ARE
OPENING BACK UP. IT IS A
WELCOME SIGN. NEWS CREWS GROW
JOINS US LIVE FROM NEAR MESA
WITH MORE ON WHAT WE NEED TO
KNOW CHRIS. THERE ARE STILL
RESTRICTIONS PUT IN PLACE. GOOD
MORNING TO YOU. AND GOOD
MORNING, STELLA. THAT'S RIGHT.
IN FACT THERE THESE WON'T BE A
FULL COMPLETE OPENINGS. THERE
ARE STILL GOING TO BE SOME
PARKS THAT ARE CLOSED AND EVEN
SOME OF THE ACTIVITIES THAT YOU
CAN DO IN THESE PARKS ARE STILL
GOING TO BE RESTRICTED.
HOWEVER, THIS IS A WELCOME SIGN
ESPECIALLY TO THOSE THAT HAVE
BEEN FEELING CONDENSED OR MAYBE
A LITTLE COOPED DURING THIS
STAY AT HOME ORDER. SO LET'S GO
OVER WHAT YOU CAN AND CAN'T DO
AND LET'S START WITH THE GOOD
NEWS. LET'S START WITH WHAT YOU
CAN DO IN THESE PARKS THAT HAVE
OPENED. YOU CAN GO FOR A JOG OR
RUN OR DO SOME TYPE OF
INDIVIDUAL EXERCISE SO LONG AS
YOU STAY BY YOURSELF OR
MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING. YOU
CAN ALSO JUST SIMPLY GO FOR A
WALK. VISIT THESE PARKS, ENJOY
THEM AND THEN MAKE SURE AGAIN
THAT YOU'RE FOLLOWING SOCIAL
DISTANCING. NOW RESTROOMS WILL
BE OPEN FOR PUBLIC USE AND
TRAILS WILL BE OPEN AS WELL
WITHIN OPEN SPACE PARKS EXCEPT
FOR COWS MOUND AND LOWES PENNY
MOSQUITOES CANYON AND AGAIN YOU
CAN DO ALL OF THIS WHILE
MAINTAINING SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND AT THE SAME TIME WHILE THEY
ARE NOT REQUIRED MASKS AND FACE
COVERINGS ARE ENCOURAGED. NOW
WHAT YOU CAN'T DO IS PLAY
ACTIVE SPORTS OR ORGANIZED
SPORTS LIKE BASKETBALL,
BASEBALL OR SOCCER. PLUS
THE REASON WALKING AND JOGGING
IS ENCOURAGED IS BECAUSE
PARKING LOTS WILL BE CLOSED.
YOU CAN GET YOUR WARM UP ON
THE WAY TO THE PARK. THEY JUST
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU
DON'T DRIVE HERE. ALSO JUST
BECAUSE THE PARKS ARE OPEN IT
DOESN'T MEAN ALL THE AMENITIES
ARE DOG PARK SKATE PARKS AND
SWIMMING POOLS ARE A NUMBER OF
THE THINGS WE CAN'T USE JUST
YET. WE WANT TO PROVIDE OF
COURSE AN OUTLET FOR PEOPLE TO
BE PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY
ACTIVE AS WE GRAPPLE WITH THIS
NEW NORMAL. I THINK IT'S
AWESOME BECAUSE WE'VE
SEQUESTERED PEOPLE INTO TOO
SMALL AN AREA FOR SAFETY SO
THEY'RE IN A SIX FOOT SIDEWALK.
NOW WE CAN USE 100 FEET OF
THE PARK JUDICIOUSLY. AND THAT
WAS A GOOD WORD TO USE
JUDICIOUSLY. WE STILL ALL HAVE
TO BE VIGILANT. WE STILL ALL
HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND WE STILL
ALL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT SIX
FEET OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND
TO MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU CAN
USE ONE OF THOSE FACE COVERINGS
OR MASKS ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE
ARE OUT HERE IN PUBLIC NOW FOR
A COMPLETE LIST OF PARKS THAT
WILL BE OPEN UNDER THESE
CONDITIONS HERE IN THE CITY OF
SAN DIEGO, GO TO A WEB SITE CBS
8 DOT COM AND CLICK ON THE HOT
BUTTON. ERIC, BACK TO YOU.
CHRIS REPORTING LIVE. THANKS
FOR THAT, CHRIS. AND
THE PRESIDENT IS NOW PUSHING
PLANS TO TEMPORARILY SHUT DOWN
ALL IMMIGRATION INTO
THE COUNTRY IN LIGHT OF
OUTBREAK HERE. YOU SAY IT'S NOT
A RON PAUL. LIVE NOW TO EXPLAIN
THIS DECISION DANA. GOOD
MORNING. THE PRESIDENT MAKING
QUITE THE MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT AT
SEVEN O'CLOCK LAST NIGHT OUR
TIME TWEETING THAT HE DOES PLAN
TO PUT EXECUTIVE ACTION INTO
PLACE AND STOP IMMIGRATION INTO
THE US ALL AMID THE PANDEMIC.
NOW OF COURSE THIS IS A BIG
DEAL HERE IN OUR BORDER
COMMUNITY OF SAN DIEGO AND
BEYOND IN AN ACTION THAT'S
EXPECTED TO BE MET WITH A LOT
OF LEGAL CHALLENGES, PRESIDENT
TRUMP TWEETED. IN LIGHT OF
THE ATTACK FROM THE INVISIBLE
ENEMY AS WELL AS THE NEED TO
PROTECT THE JOBS OF OUR GREAT
AMERICAN CITIZENS, I WILL BE
SIGNING AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO
TEMPORARILY SUSPEND IMMIGRATION
INTO THE UNITED STATES.
THE PRESIDENT DID NOT PROVIDE
MUCH DETAILED INFORMATION ON
HOW HE WILL EXECUTE THIS PLAN
OR HOW LONG THIS SUSPENSION
COULD LAST. IMMIGRANT ADVOCATES
CALLED THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
ANOTHER BLOW TO COMMUNITIES
ALREADY STRUGGLING BEFORE
THE PANDEMIC. WE BELIEVE THIS
IS JUST GOING TO ADD MORE
COMPLICATIONS TO THE ALREADY
COMPLICATED AND DEVASTATED
DEVASTATING HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING HERE
ON THE U.S. MEXICO BORDER. ALMA
MARKET TAEKO IS CO-DIRECTOR OF
THE NATIONAL NETWORK FOR
IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE RIGHTS
AND BORDER WAS ALREADY CLOSE TO
MANY ASYLUM SEEKERS, MANY
PEOPLE WHO HAD, YOU KNOW,
LEGIT. LEGITIMATE CLAIMS, YOU
KNOW, TO ASK FOR ASYLUM BECAUSE
CORONA VIRUS IMMIGRATION TO
THE US HAS ALREADY LARGELY
SLOWED. CITIZENSHIP CEREMONIES
ARE NOT HAPPENING AND MANY VISA
OFFICES ARE CLOSED. THAT'S
ANOTHER PART OF THE REASON WHY
I THINK WE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE
A LOT OF CHALLENGES AND A LOT
OF LEGAL CHALLENGES IF NOT
QUESTIONS FROM THE REST OF THIS
COUNTRY WHO AREN'T NECESSARILY
GOING TO BE SUPPORTIVE OF
THE PROCESS. DEMOCRATS WERE
QUICK TO REACT. SENATOR KAMALA
HARRIS TWEETING HE'S
SHAMELESSLY POLITICIZING THIS
PANDEMIC TO DOUBLE DOWN ON HIS
ANTI-IMMIGRANT AGENDA. AND
REPRESENTATIVE ERIC SWALWELL
RESPONDING TO THE PRESIDENT'S
TWEET WITH. WE DON'T NEED TO
PROTECT AMERICA FROM
IMMIGRANTS. WE NEED TO PROTECT
HER FROM YOU. AND CBS NEWS IS
GETTING WORD THAT THIS
EXECUTIVE ACTION COULD BE
SIGNED HERE IN THE NEXT COMING
DAYS AND REALLY THOSE DETAILS
OF WHAT THIS MEANS. STILL NOT
CLEAR HOW LONG WILL
THE SUSPENSION OF IMMIGRATION
LAST? HERE IN OUR COUNTRY AND
ALSO WHAT IT ALL MEANS FOR
GREEN CARD HOLDERS. THAT'S
THE LATEST. WE'LL SEND IT BACK
TO CANADA. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
THREE THINGS TO KNOW THIS
MORNING ABOUT THE CORONA VIRUS.
NUMBER ONE, CONGRESS IS PUTTING
TOGETHER ANOTHER MASSIVE
SPENDING BILL TO PROP UP
THE NATION'S ECONOMY. HOUSE
SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI SAYS SHE
HOPES TO HAVE THE ROUGHLY 500
BILLION DOLLAR MEASURE READY
FOR THE SENATE TODAY. A VOTE IN
THE HOUSE COULD HAPPEN AS SOON
AS TOMORROW. IT IS THE FOURTH
CORONA VIRUS RELATED BAILOUT
BILL. AND NUMBER TWO HERE IN
SAN DIEGO COUNTY LEADERS WILL
BE DISCUSSING A NEW LOAN
PROGRAM FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
SUFFERING DURING THE PANDEMIC.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS SET
TO VOTE ON A 5 MILLION DOLLAR
RECOVERY LOAN PROGRAM FOR
BUSINESSES IN UNINCORPORATED
AREAS. IT WOULD PROVIDE LOANS
OF UP TO 50 THOUSAND DOLLARS
WITH INTEREST RATE THAT DOES
NOT EXCEED 2 PERCENT. THE BOARD
MEETING IS AT 9 A.M. AND
RESIDENTS CAN WATCH ONLINE. AND
NUMBER THREE WEEKEND PROTESTS
DEMANDING LEADERS TO REOPEN
THE COUNTRY BRINGING
THE QUESTION ABOUT LAW
ENFORCEMENT ON THE NEWS A
FACEBOOK PAGE. PEOPLE EXPRESS
DISAPPOINTMENT THAT LAW
ENFORCEMENT TOOK VERY LITTLE
ACTION THAT PEOPLE WERE NOT
PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING
AND WEARING MASKS. ONE
COMMUNITY ACTIVIST SAYS IT'S
NOT SO MUCH THE MESSAGE BUT HOW
IT WAS DELIVERED. YOU COULD
HAVE STOOD SIX FEET APART IF
YOU WERE GONNA GO OUT AND DO A
PROTEST AGAINST THE HOMEOWNERS.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
WEARING A MASK AND GAVE MASS TO
EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED
THE PROTESTS. DPD AND
THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
RELEASED JOINT STATEMENT SAYING
IN PART WHILE NO CITATIONS WERE
ISSUED, THAT DOES NOT MEAN
PROSECUTION WILL NOT BE SOUGHT
ESPECIALLY TO THE ORGANIZERS OF
THE EVENT. ERIC, THERE ARE
QUESTIONS OVER THE HEALTH OF
NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM JONG
UN. THIS COMES AFTER REPORTS HE
WAS IN GRAVE DANGER AFTER HEART
SURGERY. KIM MISSED
THE CELEBRATION OF HIS LATE
GRANDFATHER WHO WAS NORTH
KOREA'S FOUNDER ON APRIL 15TH.
THE COUNTRY'S MOST
