LIFE
LIFE AND
LIFE AND RIGHT INTO YOUR HOME. NEW DAY STARTS RIGHT NOW. AS CALIFORNIA SLOWLY BEGINS TO
REOPEN ITS ECONOMY STATEWIDE,
SAN DIEGO IS ASKING FOR MORE
CONTROL OVER HOW AND WHEN LOCAL
BUSINESSES CAN START UP AGAIN.
GOOD EVENING AND THANKS FOR
JOINING US. I'M MARCELLA LEE.
I'M CARLOS RICARDO, SAN DIEGO'S
MAYOR ALONG WITH A COUNTY
SUPERVISOR URGED THE GOVERNOR
TODAY TO GIVE OUR REGION MORE
AUTONOMY. CALLING GAVIN
NEWSOM'S ORDERS FOR REOPENING
QUOTE CONFUSING AND MISGUIDED
DHS RICHARD ALLEN HAS MORE ON
THE GOVERNOR'S RESPONSE AS WELL
AS ONE LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS
PLANS TO SAFELY RE-OPEN ONCE HE
GETS THE GO AHEAD. WELL, THAT'S
RIGHT. THOUSANDS OF BUSINESSES
LIKE THIS ONE ARE STILL SHUT
DOWN BECAUSE OF COVE 19 AND SAN
DIEGO'S MAYOR TODAY SAID THAT
OUR REGION SHOULD HAVE CONTROL
IN DETERMINING HOW AND WHEN
THEY CAN SAFELY REOPEN TO
EMBRACE THIS NEW NORMAL. SAN
DIEGO IS READY TO SAFELY AND
STRATEGICALLY REOPEN MONDAY.
SAN DIEGO MAYOR KEVIN FAULKNER
MADE THE CASE FOR SAN DIEGO TO
HAVE THE AUTONOMY TO REOPEN ITS
REGIONAL ECONOMY ON ITS OWN
TERMS. AND WE URGE THE GOVERNOR
TO GIVE OUR REGION
THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO SO.
FAULKNER AND COUNTY BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS CHAIR GREG COX SENT
THIS LETTER TO GOV. GAVIN
NEWSOM REQUEST THIS LOCAL
CONTROL. WE CERTAINLY DON'T
WANT TO RISK THE PUBLIC HEALTH
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I THINK WE
NEED TO BALANCE THAT WITH FACE
REOPENING. WE'RE ASKING FOR
THE STATE TO CHANGE ITS
RESTRICTIONS THOSE RESTRICTIONS
ALLOWING COUNTIES TO PROGRESSED
FURTHER INTO PHASE TWO OF
REOPENING THE STATEWIDE ECONOMY
INCLUDE A BENCHMARK OF NO KOBE
19 DEATHS IN A COUNTY FOR A 14
DAY PERIOD. MAYOR FAULKNER SAID
UNDER THESE CURRENT GUIDELINES
95 PERCENT OF CALIFORNIANS LIVE
IN COUNTIES THAT WOULD NOT
QUALIFY. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD
TO REOPENING ARTEM SOROKIN SKIN
RUNS THE BOXING CLUB SPORT AND
FITNESS WHICH UNDER CURRENT
GUIDELINES WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO
REOPEN UNTIL PHASE 3. HIS
COMPANY'S THREE LOCATIONS HAVE
ALREADY PUT TOGETHER SAFETY
PROTOCOLS FOR REOPENING NOW
FROM TEMPERATURE CHECKS TO
LIMITING OCCUPANCY AND SAID
THE GUIDELINES THAT ARE PROVIDE
SAFETY AND SECURITY FOR OUR
MEMBERS BUT ALSO AGAIN
REALISTICALLY ALLOW US TO
OPERATE AND STILL BE
PROFITABLE. WE WILL WORK WITH
EVERY COUNTY GOVERNOR NEWSOME
MONDAY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT EACH
COUNTY IS UNIQUE IN ITS
RESPONSE TO COVERED 19 BUT
STRESSED THE TANGIBLE HEALTH
DATA WILL BE THE DECIDING
FACTOR IN HOW QUICKLY AND IN
WHAT ORDER. CALIFORNIA ECONOMY
REOPENS. PUBLIC HEALTH DICTATES
THAT WE DO THIS IN YOUR
JUDICIOUS AND THOUGHTFUL WAY.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO DEVIATE FROM
THAT PATH. AND THE GOVERNOR
ASSURED COUNTIES THAT FEEL
LOCKED INTO THIS PHASE
REOPENING THAT WE WILL EMERGE
TOGETHER AS A STATE FOR THIS
PANDEMIC. ADDING THAT HE'LL
SHARE MORE DETAILS ON
THE PROTOCOLS OF REOPENING
BUSINESSES LATER THIS WEEK.
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT,
RICHARD, THANKS. WITH ROUGHLY
70 PERCENT OF CALIFORNIA'S
ECONOMY ALLOWED TO REOPEN. WE
WANTED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT
THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT WILL
NOT AS NEWS THEY FLOW MORE.
ABRAMS REPORTS THE CLOSURES ARE
ALREADY POPPING UP ACROSS SAN
DIEGO. THE STATE'S CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE DOESN'T KEEP TRACK OF
THESE TYPES OF CLOSURES BUT
LOCALS ARE STARTING TO ADD JUST
THIS ONE SHOPPING CENTER AND
POWER WAY THERE ARE NOW THREE
EMPTY STOREFRONTS AND
BUSINESSES THAT ARE STILL OPEN
ARE STARTING TO FEEL
THE TRICKLE EFFECT IS VERY SAD.
PEOPLE COMING HERE THEY LOVE TO
SEE OLD SHOP IS OPEN JUST ONE
BUSINESS STARTED PICKING UP AT
HIS POWER. JUICE AND SMOOTHIE
BAR. AMIR BARADA RUNS SAYS BOTH
THE NEXT DOOR DONUT SHOP AND
SUBWAY SANDWICH RESTAURANT
SHUTTERED THEIR DOORS. PEOPLE
COME IN USED TO GO TO SOMEBODY
TO GET A SANDWICH AND DIDN'T
COME HERE TO GET A SMOOTHIE.
BUT THEY'RE NOT COMING ANYMORE
.HE SAYS THE FINANCIAL
PRESSURE FROM THE PANDEMIC WAS
JUST TOO MUCH TO BEAR FOR HIS
NEIGHBORS. AND THEY'RE NOT
ALONE IN THIS. SUNRISE CAFé
JUST ANNOUNCING ITS DECISION TO
CLOSE. DESPITE MANY PLEAS TO
STAY OPEN. I FEEL TERRIBLE FOR
THE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT YOU
KNOW, ESPECIALLY SOMEBODY WHO
PUTS THEIR THEIR YEARS OF THEIR
LIFE INTO BUILDING A BUSINESS
AND BUILDING A BRAND.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS
TRYING TO LIMIT THE VIRUS'S
TOLL ON BUSINESS OWNERS WITH
LOW INTEREST AND FORGIVABLE
LOANS. BUT THE REALITY IS BLEAK
.A RECENT SURVEY FOUND THAT
SEVEN POINT FIVE MILLION SMALL
BUSINESSES WILL PERMANENTLY
SHUT DOWN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL
MONTHS. RESTAURANTS MAY BE
HARDEST HIT AS THE CALIFORNIA
RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION PUTS IT.
SAN DIEGO IS CERTAINLY ONE OF
THE HOT DINING SCENES IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. CEO
JACK CONDIE IS URGING
THE GOVERNOR TO GIVE
THE INDUSTRY ADDITIONAL
CONCESSIONS INCLUDING DEFERMENT
FEES AND TAXES TO ALLOW US TO
COME OUT OF THIS HIBERNATION
PERIOD AND SURVIVE. IF THERE IF
THERE ARE AS MANY FROM 20 TO 30
PERCENT OF THE RESTAURANTS
COULD NOT REOPEN BACK AT
THE JUICE SHOP, AMIR SAID HE
TYPICALLY NEEDS AN AVERAGE OF
80 DAILY CUSTOMERS TO PAY HIS
BILLS. NOW HE'S LUCKY IF HE
SEES EVEN A HANDFUL. BUT HE'S
HOPEFUL I CANNOT GO SIT AT HOME
AND SAY OH NO, BUT YOU HAVE TO
BE POSITIVE. YOU HAVE TO DO
SOMETHING FOR NOW. SAN DIEGO
COUNTY LEADERS ARE ASKING FOR
THE OPINIONS OF SMALL BUSINESS
OWNERS AFFECTED BY COPA 19 TO
FIND OUT WHERE TO ADD YOUR
INPUT, JUST VISIT OUR WEB SITE
CBSA DOT COM AND CLICK ON
THE HELP BUTTON. THANK YOU,
LAMAR. THE NUMBER OF CASES IN
SAN DIEGO CONTINUES TO GO UP
BUT THERE ARE SOME GOOD SIGNS.
COUNTY OFFICIALS SAY THERE WERE
139 NEW CASES TODAY FOR A TOTAL
OF FIVE THOUSAND SIXTY FIVE.
THAT'S ABOUT A 5 PERCENT
POSITIVE RATE ON THE TWO
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY
EIGHT REPORTED TESTS.
THE NUMBER OF TESTS DIPPED FROM
RECENT DAYS BUT THAT'S NOT
UNEXPECTED ON A SUNDAY. ONE
HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE PEOPLE
HAVE DIED FROM KOVAC 19 IN
THE COUNTY BUT NONE SINCE
FRIDAY. THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION HAS ENACTED NEW
GUIDELINES ON FACE MASKS ON
THE WHITE HOUSE CAMPUS AFTER
MULTIPLE EMPLOYEES TESTED
POSITIVE FOR KOBE 19 LAST WEEK.
THE PRESIDENT ALSO SAYS THE US
WILL SURPASS 10 MILLION TESTS
CONDUCTED THIS WEEK. SKYLER
HENRY HAS THE LATEST. I JUST
WANTED TO LET MY COLLEAGUE BACK
AND ASK. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE
IT. PRESIDENT TRUMP LEFT
ABRUPTLY AFTER A TENSE EXCHANGE
WITH REPORTERS FROM CBS NEWS
AND CNN AND A WHITE HOUSE MEDIA
BRIEFING. WHY IS THIS A GLOBAL
COMPETITION TO YOU IF EVERYDAY
AMERICANS ARE STILL LOSING
THEIR LIVES? WELL, THEY'RE
LOSING THEIR LIVES EVERYWHERE
IN THE WORLD AND MAYBE THAT'S A
QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK CHINA.
SIR, WHY ARE YOU SAYING THAT TO
ME SPECIFICALLY? I'M TELLING
YOU THAT I'M NOT SAYING
SPECIFICALLY TO ANYBODY. I'M
SAYING THAT ANYBODY WOULD ASK A
NASTY QUESTION AND ASK YOU
PLEASE GO AHEAD. I NOT IT'S
OKAY. BUT YOU OWE ME THE JOB.
THE ADMINISTRATION WILL
DISTRIBUTE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IN ADDITIONAL FUNDING AND
SUPPLIES TO STATES AND
TERRITORIES WITH THE GOAL OF
RAMPING UP COPING 19 TESTING.
IT COMES AS THE FDA HAS ISSUED
EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION FOR
A NEW ANTIGEN TEST THAT
PROVIDES RESULTS IN JUST
MINUTES. CORDELL HAD THIS
AUTHORIZED BY THE FDA. AND AS
THE PRESIDENT SAID, WE'LL SOON
BE MAKING OVER 300000 TESTS PER
DAY. THE WHITE HOUSE ALSO
ISSUED A MEMO REQUIRING ALL
EMPLOYEES TO WEAR FACE MASKS
EXCEPT THAT THEIR DESK AFTER
THE VISE PRESIDENT'S PRESS
SECRETARY AND ONE OF
THE PRESIDENT'S VALETS TESTED
POSITIVE FOR CUPID 19 LAST
WEEK. THREE MEMBERS OF THE TASK
FORCE, DR. ANTHONY FAUCI OF
THE NIH, CDC DIRECTOR ROBERT
REDFIELD AND FDA COMMISSIONER
DR. STEVEN HAHN ARE UNDER SELF
QUARANTINE. JUST ABOUT
EVERYBODY I'VE SEEN TODAY HAS
WORN A MASK. YEAH. WHAT DO YOU
REQUIRE? SIR, I DID. I DID. I
REQUIRED ALL THREE SELF
ISOLATING TASK FORCE MEMBERS
ARE EXPECTED TO TESTIFY TUESDAY
BEFORE A SENATE PANEL REMOTELY.
THE REPUBLICAN CHAIR OF THAT
COMMITTEE, SENATOR LAMAR
ALEXANDER IS ALSO SELF ISOLATED
AFTER A MEMBER OF HIS STAFF
TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE CORONA
VIRUS. SKYLER HENRY, THE WHITE
HOUSE THE COUNTY IS SENDING A
STRONG MESSAGE AFTER CROWDS
GATHERED NEAR THE BEACH THIS
PAST WEEKEND DESPITE STAY AT
HOME WATERS. A VIEWER SENT THIS
VIDEO RIGHT HERE OF A REPORTED
PARTY BREAKING UP IN MISSION
BEACH NEAR SHORT TERM RENTALS
ON SATURDAY. A NEIGHBOR TELLS
NEWSDAY THAT SCENES LIKE THIS
MAKE LOCALS SCARED TO GO OUT
AND THAT'S AN ISSUE. COUNTY
LEADERS SAY SHOULDN'T EXIST.
THE USE OF AIR BMV IS ONLY
LAWFUL IF IT IS BEING USED FOR
ESSENTIAL WORKERS NEITHER AIR
BEING BEING OR THE CALIFORNIA
HOTEL AND LODGING ASSOCIATION
LIST ANY RESTRICTIONS ON WHO
CAN STAY IN SAN DIEGO
PROPERTIES. COUNTY LEADERS SAY
THEY PLAN TO WRITE A LETTER TO
AIR B AND B TO MAKE THEM AWARE
OF THE ISSUE. A MAN WHO WORE A
KKK STYLE HOOD INSIDE OF VONS
IN SANTEE WILL NOT FACE CHARGES
ACCORDING TO SHERIFF'S
INVESTIGATORS THEY CONTACTED
AND INTERROGATED THE MAN
FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT BACK ON
MAY 2ND. HE ADMITTED WEARING
THE MASK WAS QUOTE STUPID AND
NOT INTENDED A RACIAL
STATEMENT. HE SAYS HE WAS ONLY
EXPRESSING FRUSTRATION WITH
KOVAC 19 AND HAVING PEOPLE TELL
HIM WHAT HE COULD AND COULD NOT
DO. SAN DIEGO JEWISH ACADEMY
SAYS ITS CAMPUS WILL OFFICIALLY
STAY CLOSED FOR THE REMAINDER
OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. SCHOOL
OFFICIALS SAY THEY'RE
INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE REMOTE
LEARNING SO FAR THEY KNOW NOT
BEING TOGETHER THOUGH FOR
THE USUAL END OF YEAR MOMENTS
AND CELEBRATIONS IS A REAL
LOSS. AND THEY'RE STILL
PLANNING SOME SORT OF
ALTERNATIVE. OFFICIALS DID SAY
THEY'RE PLANNING TO RESUME ON
CAMPUS LEARNING IN THE FALL
ASSUMING CONDITIONS THEN WILL
ALLOW IT. TODAY UC SAN DIEGO
BECAME ONE OF THE FIRST
COLLEGES IN THE NATION TO BEGIN
MASS TESTING. STUDENTS FORK
OVER 19. THE 5000 STUDENTS
CURRENTLY LIVING ON CAMPUS WILL
BE THE FIRST TO UNDERGO
TESTING. THE UNIVERSITY HAS
EXPOSED NOTIFICATION AND
ISOLATION HOUSING MEASURES IN
PLACE IN CASE A STUDENT TESTS
POSITIVE. UC SAN DIEGO HOPES
THE PROGRAM WILL BE EXPANDED TO
THE REST OF THE CAMPUS AND
ALLOW TO RESUME IN-PERSON
ACTIVITIES WHEN CLASSES BEGIN
THIS FALL. WELL, HERE'S SOME
GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE WHO WAS
