BECAUSE
BECAUSE WE DESERVE IT. ALL RIGHT. WELCOME TO YOUR MONDAY HERE, EVERYONE. LET'S GET RIGHT
INTO YOUR HEADLINES HERE. THERE
ARE NOW ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
NEW CASES OF KOBE 19 IN
THE COUNTY ABOUT 4 PERCENT OF
MORE THAN THIRTY FOUR HUNDRED
TESTS PERFORMED YESTERDAY CAME
BACK POSITIVE. AND THAT'S
SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN SATURDAY'S
RATE. BUT SOME GOOD NEWS HERE.
THERE ARE NO NEW DEATHS TO
REPORT NOR A TOTAL NUMBER OF
FOUR THOUSAND NINE AND TWENTY
SIX CONFIRMED CASES BUT TWO
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY
EIGHT PEOPLE HAVE NOW
RECOVERED. SOME GOOD NEWS
THERE, ESTELLA. AND TODAY UC
SAN DIEGO WILL ENTER ITS FIRST
PHASE IN THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
PLAN TO BRING STUDENTS BACK TO
CAMPUS. THAT PLAN ALL DEPENDS
ON TESTING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
THOSE STUDENTS BECAUSE IT'S NOT
A POOR IS LIVE TO EXPLAIN MORE.
GOOD MORNING. A NOW. GOOD
MORNING. SO UC SAN DIEGO IS
STARTING THIS TODAY THIS
MORNING IN FACT AND THEY'RE
EVENTUALLY TEST ALL SIXTY
THOUSAND STUDENTS AND STAFF
HERE ON CAMPUS BECAUSE THEIR
GOAL IS TO GET THESE STUDENTS
BACK HERE ON CAMPUS AS EARLY AS
THIS SEPTEMBER. RIGHT NOW
CLASSES ARE BEING HELD ONLINE.
THERE ARE SOME 5000 STUDENTS
CURRENTLY STAYING IN THE DORMS
AND THAT TOO THEY'LL BE ABLE TO
TEST FIRST GAME ABOUT BUT
ASKING THE QUESTION WHAT WOULD
IT TAKE TO BRING ALL
THE STUDENTS BACK TO CAMPUS AND
HAVE AN IN-PERSON RESIDENTIAL
EXPERIENCE LIKE YOU HAD FOR
THE LAST 50 60 YEARS. SO THAT'S
THE UNIVERSITY'S CHANCELLOR.
PRETTY CLOSELY AND HE SAYS IT
TOOK TEAMS OF MOLECULAR
BIOLOGISTS, AN INFECTIOUS
DISEASE SPECIALIST TO COME UP
WITH THIS IDEA. AGAIN,
ULTIMATELY RESULTING IN
THE TESTING OF AT LEAST 60
THOUSAND STUDENTS AND STAFF
HERE AT UC SAN DIEGO. SO HE
BELIEVES THEY ARE THE ONLY
UNIVERSITY IN THE NATION TO BE
ABLE TO DO THIS IN SUCH A
MASSIVE LEVEL. NOW THEY WILL
HAVE STATIONS EQUIPPED WITH
CONTAINERS CONSISTING OF THOSE
SINGLE CLEAN NASAL SWAB TESTS
AND STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO
PICK UP THOSE TESTS OUT OF
THOSE CONTAINERS WHICH WILL BE
SET UP NEAR THEIR DORMS.
THEY'LL SWAB THEIR OWN NOSES
THEN DROP OFF THE SAMPLE IN A
COLLECTION BOX. AND THEY EXPECT
RESULTS AS EARLY AS THE NEXT
MORNING. ANYONE WHO TESTS
POSITIVE WOULD BE EXPECTED TO
SELF ISOLATE. IN FACT,
THE UNIVERSITY WILL HAVE PLACES
FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO ISOLATE
HERE ON CAMPUS AND THEN THEY'RE
GOING TO DO CONTACT TRACING. SO
ANYONE A STUDENT MAY HAVE COME
IN CONTACT WITH THEY WILL THEN
TEST THOSE PEOPLE. NOW
THE CHANCELLOR SAYS THEY'LL BE
READY TO DELIVER 12 HUNDRED
TESTS A DAY FOR AS LONG AS
NECESSARY. AND AS FAR AS
THE RESULTS GO, THEY SAY ONLY
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS AND
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS AND OF
COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW
THE RESULTS OF THEIR TESTS. BUT
AGAIN, THIS IS ALL STARTING
TODAY. AND THOSE STATIONS WILL
BE SET UP NEAR THEIR DORMS. SO
IT WILL TAKE PLACE AMONG THOSE
DORMS AND EACH STUDENT HAS TO
GO GET THEIR TESTS ON THEIR
OWN, DO THE TEST THEMSELVES AND
THEN SUBMIT IT THEMSELVES ALL
THROUGH AN APP AS WELL. THAT'S
THE LATEST LIVE HERE AT UC SAN
DIEGO. WE'LL SEND IT BACK TO
YOU. THANK YOU. AND ONE LOCAL
COMPANY HAS BEEN GIVEN
EMERGENCY APPROVAL BY THE FDA
FOR A RAPID CORONA VIRUS TEST.
CORDELL RECENTLY DEVELOPED ITS
SOFIA ANTIGEN TEST AND SAYS IT
DELIVERS RESULTS IN 15 MINUTES.
THE TEST USES SAMPLE SWABS
COLLECTED IN A PATIENT'S NOSE
OR THROAT QUOTE AL SAYS IT'S
NOW SHIPPING RAPID TESTS TO
HOSPITALS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
AND IS ACCEPTING NEW ORDERS.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK NOW AT
THE LATEST CORONA VIRUS NUMBERS
WORLDWIDE. THERE ARE MORE THAN
FOUR POINT ONE MILLION CASES
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE POINT
THREE MILLION CASES. MORE THAN
80000 PEOPLE HAVE NOW DIED. BUT
THE GOOD NEWS? MORE THAN TWO
HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE
HAVE RECOVERED. VISE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE IS NOT AMONG THOSE
IN SELF QUARANTINE DESPITE HIS
PRESS SECRETARY TESTING
POSITIVE FOR CORONA VIRUS. A
SPOKESMAN FOR THE VISE
PRESIDENT SAYS HE PLANS TO BE
AT THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY AND
CONTINUES TO FOLLOW THE ADVICE
OF THE WHITE HOUSE MEDICAL UNIT
STAFF MEMBER SAY VISE PRESIDENT
PENCE HAS BEEN TESTED EVERY
SINGLE DAY SHOWING NEGATIVE
RESULTS. THREE TOP HEALTH
OFFICIALS INCLUDING DR. ANTHONY
FAUCI ARE NOW QUARANTINING ON
SOME LEVEL AFTER COMING INTO
CONTACT WITH AT LEAST ONE OF
THEM. THE WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIC
TEAM DISCUSSED THE PANDEMICS
FINANCIAL TOLL YESTERDAY. THERE
IS A CONSIDERABLE RISK OF NOT
REOPENING. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
WHAT WOULD BE PERMANENT
ECONOMIC DAMAGE. WHITE HOUSE
ECONOMIC ADVISER KEVIN HASSETT
SAYS THE WHITE HOUSE IS CLOSELY
WATCHING STATES THAT HAVE
REOPENED. IT COMES AS ARIZONA
BECOMES THE LATEST STATE TO
ALLOW RESTAURANTS TO REOPEN
TODAY. A MODEL USED BY
THE ADMINISTRATION INCREASES
THE PROJECTED DEATH TOLL AFTER
SEEING MORE PEOPLE MOVING
AROUND. AND OCEANSIDE GYM OWNER
MAY TRY TO REOPEN HIS BUSINESS
AGAIN TODAY AFTER BEING CITED
FOR NOT FOLLOWING STATE AND
COUNTY HEALTH ORDERS TO REMAIN
CLOSED. NEWS'S CHRIS GROH IS
LIVE IN OCEANSIDE THIS MORNING
WITH THE STORY. AND CHRIS, WHY
DID THE OWNER OPEN UP TO BEGIN
WITH? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF
CONFUSION BACK AND FORTH THERE
IS AND THIS SPREADS OUT OVER
THREE DAYS FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY. WELL, ACCORDING TO LEW,
YOUR DEAL HERE THE METRO
FLEXION GYM OWNER, HE SAYS ON
FRIDAY OCEANSIDE POLICE TOLD
HIM HE COULD REOPEN SATURDAY HE
WAS OPEN AND HE REMAINED OPEN
ALL DAY. BUT THEN ON A SATURDAY
NIGHT HE ACTUALLY RECEIVED A
CALL FROM OCEANSIDE POLICE
SAYING THAT HE NEEDED TO BE
CLOSED OR HE COULD BE
POTENTIALLY CITED. WELL, ON
SUNDAY HE DECIDED TO REOPEN AND
THEN THIS HAPPENED AS YOU CAN
SEE RIGHT THERE. THAT'S YOUR DL
SPEAKING WITH OCEANSIDE POLICE
DEPARTMENT OFFICERS THERE
INSIDE OF HIS GYM. HE'S IN THAT
PURPLE TANK TOP AND IT WAS JUST
MOMENTS LATER THAT HE'S PLACED
HE WAS PLACED INTO HANDCUFFS TO
BE MOMENTARILY DETAINED AND
THEN CITED FOR VIOLATING COUNTY
AND STATE HEALTH ORDERS. NOW HE
WAS RELEASED AND HE WAS ONLY
CITED. NOW IF YOU'RE NOT
CONFUSED ENOUGH HERE, TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THAT ALSO ON
SATURDAY OCEANSIDE CITY
COUNCILMAN CHRISTOPHER
RODRIGUEZ WROTE A PUBLIC LETTER
URGING ALL BUSINESSES LIKE YOUR
DELLS TO RE OPEN SAYING THAT
THE CUSTOMERS IN OCEANSIDE
SHOULD SUPPORT THEM. THEN MAYOR
PETER WEIS WROTE AN OPPOSING
LETTER SAYING RODRIGUEZ OPINION
IS NOT THE OFFICIAL POSITION OF
THE CITY OF OCEANSIDE AND THAT
THE CITY MUST FOLLOW THE COUNTY
HEALTH ORDER. AND UNDER THAT
HEALTH ORDER BUSINESSES LIKE
YOUR DELLS MUST REMAIN CLOSED.
NOW FOR HIS PART, YOUR DL SAYS
HE DID IMPLEMENT A NUMBER OF
NEW SAFETY PROCEDURES TO TRY TO
OPEN UP THE GYM SAFELY ON
SATURDAY. IT INCLUDED EXTRA
HAND SANITIZERS, A TIME LIMIT
ON WORKOUTS AND OTHER PROTOCOLS
THAT WOULD BE STRICTLY ENFORCED
BY STAFF. BUT IF HE TRIES TO
REOPEN AGAIN TODAY IT COULD NOT
JUST BE HIM WHO MAY END UP
SIDED. IT'S PRETTY CONFUSING.
THE WORST PART ABOUT IT IS
THEY'RE THREATENING TO ARREST
OUR MEMBERS FOR WORKING OUT AND
AGAIN I HE WAS NOT ARRESTED. HE
WAS DETAINED AND THEN CITED.
BUT HIS CUSTOMERS DO FACE
POTENTIALLY BEING CITED IF THEY
ARE HERE TO WORKOUT. NOW A
SPOKESPERSON FOR OCEANSIDE
POLICE DEPARTMENT TOLD US THAT
THEY DON'T KNOW OF ANYONE THAT
TOLD YOUR DL THAT HE COULD
REOPEN ON FRIDAY WHICH YOUR DL
IT DOES MENTION IN OUR
INTERVIEW BUT ON FACEBOOK YOUR
DL DID POST SOMETHING OR AT
LEAST SOMEONE FROM THE METRO
FLEX GYM PAGE HERE IN OCEANSIDE
BASICALLY SAYING THAT NO ONE
TOLD THEM THEY COULD REOPEN AND
THEY DID SO KNOWING
THE RAMIFICATIONS OF WHAT COULD
HAPPEN NOW TO BE CLEAR. GYMS
ARE NOT PART OF THE REOPENING
PHASE TO THAT PLAN PUT FORTH BY
GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM. THAT'S
NOT UNTIL PHASE 3. NOW
OBVIOUSLY SOME CITY SOME
COUNTIES COULD BE MOVING AHEAD
OF SCHEDULE MORE SO THAN
THE STATE. BUT AS YOU SAW THERE
FROM OCEANSIDE MAYOR PETE WEIS,
OCEANSIDE NOT READY FOR GYMS TO
REOPEN JUST YET. GUYS, BACK TO
YOU. ALL RIGHT, CHRIS, THANKS
FOR ASSEMBLING THAT FOR US. WE
REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR IRONY IN
THAT. TIME NOW FOR YOUR MORNING
RUSH TODAY ESCONDIDO NURSES AND
OTHER HEALTH CARE WORKERS ARE
SET TO HOLD ANOTHER RALLY.
THEY'LL BE DEMANDING
THE CONTRACT CANCELATION OF
PALOMAR HEALTH CEO DIANE HANSEN
AND THE RESCINDING OF WHAT THEY
CALL ILLEGAL LAYOFF NOTICES TO
OVER 200 EMPLOYEES. LATE LAST
MONTH HANSON REPORTED PATIENT
VISITS FALLING BY HALF IN
THE PREVIOUS SIX WEEKS AND SAYS
PALOMAR HAD TO ABSORB A LOSS OF
MORE THAN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
YEAR ROUND CAMPUSES IN THE SAN
DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
FULLY LAUNCH DISTANCE LEARNING
TODAY THEY BEGAN THEIR SOFT
LAUNCH LAST APRIL. TRADITIONAL
SCHOOLS HAVE ALREADY FULLY
IMPLEMENTED GRADED ONLINE
INSTRUCTION. STUDENTS WHO TOOK
PART IN THE SOFT LAUNCH
RECEIVED CREDIT FOR THEIR WORK.
BUSINESSES ARE STRUGGLING TO
STAY AFLOAT DURING THE CORONA
VIRUS PANDEMIC AND SOME HAVE
ADDED SERVICE FEES TO COMBAT
BUSINESS COSTS. SOCIAL MEDIA
POSTS CAME IN OVER THE WEEKEND
SHOWING HOW A RESTAURANT
CHARGING WHAT THEY CALLED A
COVE ID FEE FOR CARNE ASADA.
OTHER BUSINESSES LIKE
SMALLGOODS IN LA HOYA HAVEN'T
ADDED EXTRA FEES YET BUT SAY
THEY ARE STRUGGLING SMALLGOODS
OPENED ITS STORES JUST AS
THE PANDEMIC WAS STARTING. BUT
CREDITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS FOR
KEEPING THEIR BUSINESS ALIVE
AND THAT'S THE MORNING RUSH. WE
NEED CONCERNS ABOUT THE HEALTH
AND SAFETY OF DETAINED
IMMIGRANTS. SATURDAY A VIGIL
WAS HELD OUTSIDE OF AN OTAY
MESA DETENTION CENTER IN HONOR
OF CARLOS HOME. CASTILLO
ESCOBAR MAHELA. HE DIED LAST
WEDNESDAY FROM CORONA VIRUS,
THE FIRST REPORTED DEATH IN ICE
CUSTODY ADVOCATES SAY HE HAD
LIVED MOST OF HIS LIFE IN LOS
ANGELES AND WAS BEING DETAINED
WHILE SEEKING ASYLUM. THEY SAY
ICE AND HOMELAND SECURITY
FAILED TO PROTECT HIM AND
OTHERS FROM THE SPREAD OF
THE VIRUS. WE'VE BEEN CONCERNED
THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD ADEQUATE
PROTECTIVE GEAR. WE KNOW THAT
THEY HAVE HAD MORE THAN ONE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR
POSITIVE CASES. ICE
ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEATH OF ME
