DOWN
AT NOON STARTS NOW MASK MANDATES DOWN
AT NOON STARTS NOW MASK MANDATES ARE COMING BACK AS COVID CASES CLIMB BACK UP. GOOD AFTERNOON.
EVERYBODY RIGHT NOW MASKS ARE
RECOMMENDED IF YOU ARE INDOORS.
IN MOST OF SOUTH EASTERN
MICHIGAN, THE CENTERS FOR
DISEASE CONTROL HAS IDENTIFIED
16 COUNTIES, INCLUDING WAYNE,
OAKLAND, AND MACOMB IS HAVING
HIGH COMMUNITY COVID
TRANSMISSION. THAT MEANS THERE
IS A GREATER RISK OF CATCHING
THE VIRUS IN THOSE COMMUNITIES.
CDC RECOMMENDS EVERYONE WHERE
MASKS INDOORS WITHIN PUBLIC AND
WHILE TAKING PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION CASE COUNTS HAVE
BEEN RISING BY A FEW 1000 EACH
WEEK SINCE APRIL, 13TH STARTING
TODAY, FACE MASKS ARE REQUIRED
INDOORS INDOORS AT FERNDALE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE DISTRICT
SAYS IT MADE THE DECISION AFTER
THE CDC PLACED OAKLAND COUNTY
INTO THE HIGH RISK CATEGORY FOR
COVID 19 COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION
AND ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR THE BIG
THREE IN METRO DETROIT WILL HAVE
TO WEAR MASKS AGAIN. STARTING
TODAY, GM FORD AND STALLONE IS
ARE ALL REINSTATING MASK
MANDATES IN COUNTIES WHERE THE
SPREAD OF COVID HAS HIGH
MCMANUS. ELLIE TAKES A CLOSER
LOOK. SO WHEN THE BIG THREE TOLD
THEIR WORKERS THEY DIDN’T HAVE
TO WEAR A MASK ANYMORE INSIDE OF
THE PLANTS. THEY ALSO SAID THAT
IT WAS BECAUSE OF
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CDC,
AND IT WAS ALL SUBJECT TO
CHANGE. WELL IT’S CHANGED. IT’S
NOT WHAT WE WANT TO DO, BUT I
GUESS WE HAVE TO DO WHAT’S BEST
FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERYBODY
INSIDE THE BUILDING. SO
UNFORTUNATELY, HOPEFULLY IT
TURNS AROUND REAL FAST. BUT FOR
RIGHT NOW, WE JUST GOTTA DO WHAT
WE GOTTA DO. WORKERS HEADING
INTO FIRST SHIFT AT CHRYSLER’S
WARREN TRUCK ASSEMBLY HAD TO
PACK ONE EXTRA ITEM TODAY. A
MASK. YESTERDAY GM, FORD AND
CHRYSLER PARENTS ATLANTIS ALL
SAID MASK MANDATES ARE BEING
REINSTATED. IT IS WHAT IT IS
NORMAL IS GOING BACK UP. WE GOT
TO DO SO. I GOT NO COMPLAINTS
COUNTIES IN SOUTHEASTERN
MICHIGAN, INCLUDING WAYNE,
OAKLAND, MACOMB, WASHINGTON AND
LIVINGSTON ARE AGAIN LISTED BY
THE CDC AS HAVING HIGH COVID 19
LEVELS. WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW IS
PEOPLE ARE HAVING BREAKTHROUGH
INFRACTIONS. YOU KNOW THEY’RE
FULLY VACCINATED THAT HAD COVID
IN THE PAST. NOW THEY’RE GETTING
OMICRON NOW, AND THEY’RE NOT
QUITE A SEVERELY ILL MANDATES
WERE CUT BACK IN MARCH. ALL BIG
THREE AUTOMAKERS SAID IT WAS
BECAUSE HEALTH EXPERTS SAID
LEVELS WERE LOW ENOUGH, WHICH
HAS NOW CHANGED. SOME WORKERS
UNDERSTAND IT. SOME ARE
FRUSTRATED, BOOSTED THIRD
BOOSTED FOURTH, BOOTH STATED, SO
I’M OKAY WITH IT. YOU KNOW, IT’S
JUST IT’S TO PROTECT ALL OF US.
IT REALLY IS. I DON’T MIND. I
KIND OF LIKE WITH NOT WEARING
IT. BUT IF THIS IS WHAT THEY
RECOMMEND, AND THIS IS HOW IT’S
GONNA BE. IT’S JUST WHAT IT IS
GONE THROUGH ALL THE STEPS
BEFORE THE RATES ARE GOING UP.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT RATES, NOT
FATALITIES. I MEAN, GOT TO
PLEASE ONE OR THE OTHER, AND
THEY’RE CHOOSING THE POLICE. THE
OTHER EASIEST ADVISORIES TO LAND
HIS DID TELL THEIR EMPLOYEES.
THEY EXPECT THIS TO LAST ABOUT
TWO WEEKS, BUT IN REALITY IT’S
ALL GOING TO DEPEND ON THOSE
COVID 19 NUMBERS IN WARREN
NICK MONACELLI LOCAL 4 THANK
YOU. NICK STUDY FINDS THAT THE
FIGHTER COVID 19 VACCINE MAY
HAVE PREVENTED THOUSANDS OF
HOSPITALIZATIONS. THE STUDY,
WHICH WAS SPONSORED BY FIGHTER
FOUND THAT IT’S VACCINE
PREVENTED. NEARLY 700,000
HOSPITALIZATIONS DURING THE
FIRST YEAR OF ITS ROLL OUT IN
2021. THE VACCINE ALSO PREVENTED
8.7 MILLION SYMPTOMATIC CASES
AND MORE THAN 110,000 DEATHS.
ALSO CREDITED WITH SAVING MORE
THAN 30. BILLION IN HEALTHCARE
COSTS. THE STUDY EXCLUDED THE
IMPACT OF THE OMNICRON VARIANT.
MR YOUR ATTENTION. TODAY’S
FORECAST AS WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK
OUTSIDE THROUGH OUR SKY CAM,
SOME PUFFY CLOUDS OUT THERE,
PAUL WITH A LITTLE BRIGHT BLUE
BACKGROUND. NOT TOO BAD TO START
OFF THAT WORK WEEK. TELL YOU
ESPECIALLY THE WAY WE STARTED
THE DAY WITH ALL THAT RAIN THAT
CAME THROUGH LAST NIGHT. WE’LL
SHOW YOU SOME OF THE RAIN
AMOUNTS IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES. IT
WAS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE IN SPOTS.
NOW, THIS IS OUR WINDSOR SKY CAM
LOOKING ACROSS THE RIVER. AT
DETROIT, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF
THOSE CUMULUS CLOUDS. YOU JUST
SAW THOSE ON A DIFFERENT VANTAGE
POINT FROM THE SKY CAM THAT
KAREN SHOWED YOU ATTEMPTS RIGHT
NOW, GENERALLY IN THE SIXTIES,
BUT LOOK AT DETROIT’S NOW MADE
IT UP TO 70 DEGREES. THE WIND IS
STILL LIGHT. LITTLE SURPRISED BY
THAT. I THOUGHT THAT BY THIS
AFTERNOON WE WILL START SEEING A
LITTLE BIT STRONGER WIND,
PERHAPS. 10 TO 15 OR 10 TO 20
MPH. SO THERE’S STILL POTENTIAL
FOR THAT. ALRIGHT YOU DON’T SEE
A WHOLE LOT HERE ON THE
SATELLITE, BUT WATCH THIS AREA
RIGHT HERE. I’M GONNA PUT THIS
IN MOTION. YOU SEE THIS RIGHT
HERE. THAT’S AN AREA OF MOISTURE
THAT’S COMING THROUGH, AND IT’S
A RACE AGAINST TIME AND ISOLATED
SHOWER. OR MAYBE EVEN A SMALL
THUNDERSTORM COULD POP UP WITH
THAT MOISTURE. JUST IN THE MID
AFTERNOON, MOST OF US WON’T GET
ONE. HIGHS THOUGH, DO REACH THE
LOW TO MID SEVENTIES. KAREN
WE’LL TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
ROLLER COASTER COMING OUR WAY. A
LOT OF TEMP CHANGES THIS WEEK
AND JUST FEW MINUTES THANK YOU,
PAUL. DISTURBING NEW DETAILS ARE
EMERGING THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT
THE 18 YEAR OLD SUSPECT IN THE
BUFFALO, NEW YORK, SUPERMARKET
MASS SHOOTING. POLICE SAY THIS
SATURDAY ATTACK WAS RACIALLY
MOTIVATED AND THE SHOOTER SET
OUT TO KILL AS MANY BLACK PEOPLE
AS POSSIBLE. CHRIS PALLONE HAS
THIS REPORT FROM BUFFALO. TWO
DAYS AFTER WHAT POLICE ARE
CALLING A RACIALLY MOTIVATED
MASSACRE HERE IN BUFFALO, NEW
YORK, AND THE INVESTIGATION
CONTINUES ALREADY. TODAY WE’VE
SEEN TEAMS OF FBI AGENTS GOING
INTO THE TOPS FRIENDLY MARKET TO
TAKE A LOOK AT THE CRIME SCENE.
ALSO INVESTIGATORS SAY THAT THEY
ARE POURING THROUGH THE ACCUSED
GUNMAN WHO IS NOW IN CUSTODY.
THEY’RE POURING THROUGH. HIS
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS ARE LOOKING
AT COMPUTERS AND PHONES. THEY’RE
ALSO LOOKING AT 180 PAGE
DOCUMENT THAT AUTHORITIES
BELIEVE HE POSTED ONLINE TWO
DAYS BEFORE THIS ATTACK,
AUTHORITIES SAY. THAT THIS
SUSPECT PEYTON GENDER AND FROM
ABOUT 200 MILES AWAY FROM HERE
CAME HERE ON FRIDAY ALLEGEDLY
CHECKED OUT THE AREA. POLICE SAY
HE WAS SPECIFICALLY TARGETING
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD BECAUSE IT IS
A PREDOMINANTLY BLACK
NEIGHBORHOOD. TODAY WE’RE
LEARNING A LOT MORE ABOUT THE
VICTIMS IN THIS ATTACK. AMONG
THEM. THERE WERE MANY PARENTS
ARE ALSO A DEACON AT A CHURCH
AND A WOMAN WHO RAN A FOOD BANK
TODAY, THIS COMMUNITY STILL
STUNNED, WRAPPING ITS ARMS
AROUND THE VICTIMS AND THEIR
FAMILIES. AS THEY TRY TO COME TO
GRIPS WITH EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED
HERE ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AS
PEOPLE SIMPLY WENT ABOUT THEIR
LIVES GOING GROCERY SHOPPING,
LIKE SO MANY OF US DO. THAT’S
THE LATEST FROM BUFFALO, NEW
YORK. I’M CHRIS PALLONE. NOW
BACK TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK
YOU, CHRIS AND NOW TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA, WHERE ONE PERSON WAS
KILLED FIVE OR INJURED FOR THEM
CRITICALLY PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
ON SUNDAY, DOZENS GATHERED FOR
LUNCH AFTER A MORNING CHURCH
SERVICE WHEN AN ASIAN MAN IN HIS
SIXTIES OPENED FIRE PRISONERS
WERE ABLE TO DETAIN HIM AND WHEN
POLICE ARRIVED, HE WAS HOGTIED.
HE IS IN POLICE CUSTODY THIS
AFTERNOON. THE MAJORITY OF THE
PEOPLE INSIDE WERE OF TAIWANESE
DESCENT, THOUGH A MOTIVE FOR THE
SHOOTING IS UNKNOWN AT THIS
HOUR, NOW TO TEXAS. OR TWO
PEOPLE WERE KILLED THREE OTHERS
INJURED IN A SHOOTING AT A
CROWDED FLEA MARKET. DEPUTIES
RESPONDED TO THE SHOOTING IN
NORTH HARRIS COUNTY NEAR HOUSTON
. THAT WAS ABOUT ONE O’CLOCK ON
SUNDAY AFTERNOON. HARRIS COUNTY
SHERIFF’S INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE
THE GUN VIOLENCE GROUP OUT OF A
FIGHT BETWEEN TWO PARTIES.
DEPUTIES HAVE TWO SUSPECTS IN
CUSTODY. GOT ALL THE
DEVELOPMENTS SURROUNDING THE WAR
IN UKRAINE. SWEDEN WILL JOIN
FINLAND IN REQUESTING NATO
MEMBERSHIP. THIS IS A HISTORIC
SHIFT, RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
VLADIMIR PUTIN HAS WARNED OF A
QUOTE RESPONSE IF THE COUNTRIES
FOLLOW THROUGH. AND THOUGH PUTIN
DIDN’T SAY THIS TODAY, THE
KREMLIN HAS PREVIOUSLY SUGGESTED
IT MAY RESPOND WITH NUCLEAR
WEAPONS. MEANTIME UKRAINIAN
TROOPS COUNTERATTACKING NEAR THE
NORTHEASTERN CITY OF KHARKIV
HAVE REACHED THE RUSSIAN BORDER.
CLOSER TO HOME. THE SENATE IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE
CONSIDERATION OF THE MOTION TO
MOVE AHEAD WITH AN AID BILL FOR
UKRAINE. VOTE ON THE MOTION TO
BEGIN PROGRESS ON THE BILL IS
SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT WILL BE
FOLLOWING THAT AND KEEP YOU
POSTED. OTHER NEWS. MCDONALD’S

THE FAST FOOD GIANT MADE THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY THE COMPANY’S
SIDE OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND
THE UNPREDICTABLE OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT IN THE COUNTRY. AS
ITS REASONS FOR LEAVING IN
MARCH. MCDONALD’S TEMPORARILY
CLOSED IS 850 RESTAURANTS IN THE
COUNTRY COMPANY IS NOW PURSUING
THE SALE OF ALL ITS RESTAURANTS
TO A LOCAL BUYER. YOU MAY RECALL
THE CHAIN OPENED IN MOSCOW BACK
IN 1990, AS THE SOVIET UNION WAS
OPENING HIS ECONOMY TO WESTERN
BRANDS. GAS PRICES. LET’S TALK
ABOUT THOSE THIS MONDAY IN METRO
DETROIT. THEY ARE 14 CENTS
HIGHER TODAY. THEN THEY WERE
JUST ONE WEEK AGO. RIGHT NOW,
THE METRO DETTORI AVERAGES $4.45
. THE CURRENT AVERAGE FOR THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN IS $4.39.
NATIONALLY AVERAGE PRICE FOR
REGULAR IS FOUR BUCKS AND 48
CENTS. TURNING OUR ATTENTION TO
THE MARKETS RIGHT NOW, TAKE A
LOOK AT THE BIG BOARD AND THE
DOW IS UP. 26 POINTS, NOT A LOT
OF VOLATILITY THIS MORNING AS
THE MARKET HAS STRUGGLED TO
REBOUND FROM A SELLOFF THAT’S
PUSHED THE S AND P 500 TO THE
BRINK OF A BEAR MARKET. NOW BEAR
MARKETS HAPPEN WHEN STOCK PRICES
FALL 20% OR MORE FOR A SUSTAINED
PERIOD OF TIME. WE WILL BE
KEEPING A VERY CLOSE EYE ON WALL
STREET FOR YOU IN THE COMING
HOURS THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON
WILL UPDATE YOU, OF COURSE ON
AIR AND ONLINE. STILL BECOME

ON THE RISE IN AMERICA. WHAT
EXPERTS SAY IS FUELING THE
