We can do that now with traffic down s how clean our air is and how many lives that would save if we are able to do that every day of every year going forward. And the bay area air Quality Management district used a mott to estimate traffic is down by about 70 based on that Carbon Dioxide down about 26 . My crnitrogen dioxide dropped a fine particulates in the air plummeted by 20 . So were breathing better right now. We have to remember to continue some of our things were doing to help use. We can continue that even after earth day and the stayathome shelter is lifted. Lets remember we are breathing easier and will have beautiful weather today.

Governor newsom says the state needs more testing, averaging only 14,500 tests a day. We spoke with the Health Double play. Theyve noticed a number of people here in the bay area are already starting to resume their normal routine in spite of the order not to. We can see the 101 and there are way too many cars on there. Unless a lot more people became essential workers, you all are bending the rules a little bit.

Today in the bays kris sanchez is live in burlingame with some news weve all been waiting to hear. Who should get tested . Reporter well, marcus, first i want to mention why im wearing my mask. There are new mask guidelines in effect going into effect here in San Mateo County at 8 00 this morning, so we thought wed get ahead of that. Clearly its distracting for everybody. As for the testing, testing has been up to this point reserved for people showing some symptoms of the coronavirus. State guidelines, though, are changing that. There should be testing priority for people in highrisk settings Like Health Care showing sympt. This is different to test only people who are symptomatic or sick. In another new development the fda just approved the first athome covid19 test. Health care workers and First Responders will have first access to that if they have a doctors order. They will be able to collect their own sample at home and send it to labcorp for processing. Were focusing on Health Care Workers at the frontline and First Responders at the frontline, those with symptoms. They can go through a quick algorithm to see if they qualify. They can purchase the test and then we Federal Express it to their home. Reporter so those athome tests will take longer to process but the benefit is not having Health Care Workers and First Responders show up to some place where they could be infected if they arent already. It preserves that allimportant ppe in such short supply. The tests will become available at a cost of 120 a pop. In burlingame, kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thanks for the very latest there, kris.

But after millions went to big businesses, the little guys arent so sure this critical help is on its way.

The thing we have been noticing, the air seems cleaner. Yes, and thats been a big thing weve been tracking since the stayathome order was ordered in the bay area. Theres a lot of information here but notice the bright red that shows air pollution. Weve had a lot of it before the stayathome order went in place. Now our air quality is much wve decreasing significantly since a lot less people are driving and we dont have as many airplanes flying overhead. Well talk about a warmup in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. Mike has been tracking the morning commute with one major issue. I have, kari. Overall the map looks fine. I want to take your attention to the trivalley. Southbound 6830 has the crash which is a problem closing an off ramp. One lane is blocked. Its northbound where we see slowing. Theres a bumper in the roadway. Shifting our focus we want to talk about how earth day is it going. Its going virtual because you cant gather for the projects as we would in years past. Open space groups have quickly formed a socially distinct collaboration. Theyre bringing the 2020 wild and scenic Film Festival to the peninsula. You can join virtually and usually handson exploratorium is going hands off for their Midday Program as well. Theyre going to talk about the big change in pollution levels because of the pandemic and thats what were talking about as well. So new sights, sounds and new ways of doing things.

We want to take you live to a hospital on the peninsula where Health Care Workers are getting a big thank you right now as you can see. Giving them that round of applause as they head in to work. A full report coming up in just a bit. President trump on twitter has said that he has ordered the navy to sink iranian gunboats if they continue to harass american warships. An interesting effect on oil prices. The stock market has been upset about low oil prices. Its higher today. We continue to celebrate bay area graduates. Listen to that song, you know it. This morning in our great grads segment congratulations to these 12 middle School Students who are now moving up. Theyre going to high school. You did it. Tv. Find me on facebook lauragarcia nbc bay area. Right now at 6 44 we are going to start out cool but look at how much we warm up today. We could reach 83 degrees. Well talk more about this and also how im reducing my Carbon Footprint by working from homecoming up in a few minutes. Well look forward to it. Its 6 45 right now and new overnight thousands of people left a little rattled after an Early Morning earthquake near englewood. It was a 3. 7 magnitude quake felt from long beach through the hollywood hills. So far no damage reported. This morning there are questions and conflicting reports about the health of north Korean Leader kim jongun. Several officials telling nbc news that u. S. Intelligence indicates he had cardio vvascul surgery. The government is investigating his health status. Kim is at work visiting provinces with advisers. Moving on to decision 2020 and Campaign Contributions in the president ial race were down in march but joe biden raising his highest onemonth total of 47 million. That is still way behind President TrumpWhose Campaign combined with the National Republican party has over 175 million. Biden and the Democratic Party have about 62 million. The Senate Intelligence committee has looked back on the 2016 election and ruled there was russian interference. Scott mcgrew, this is something the Intelligence Community has been saying for years. Thats exactly right. Good morning to you both. In fact the Intelligence Community issued a report called an ica to thenpresident obama back in late 2016 saying that the russians had definitely interfered with our president ial elections and were doing so to favor doled trnald trump. It is found that u. S. Intelligence report was correct in its finding. The russians did what theyre accused of. It was a bipartisan report, a unanimous finding of the well respected Senate Intelligence committee. Chair richard burr giving the summary the Committee Found no reason to dispute the Intelligence Communitys conclusions and their work had sound analytical reasoning. As laura pointed out this was pretty much conventional but it does disprove President Trumps talking points that russia was a hoax or that it might have been china or it might have been, in his words, a 400pound person sitting on his bed. The senate has passed the funding for Small Business, and President Trump has changed his call for a ban on immigration as well for six months. Skilled visa workers and guest farmworkers are unaffected. He has instructed the u. S. Navy to fire upon iranian ships that are harassing our ships as well. Not clear if he has made a direct military order in this tweet. The military has said they dont interpret as orders. They are also tweeting those are not military orders either.

Ive also been putting a dent in mine. You can also calculate those savings and well talk about that in just a bit. Now today a lot of people are going to be opening up the windows, going for a walk around the neighborhood. If youre going out early this morning youll see the temperatures that will start out in the north bay in the 40s. We have some 50s in parts of the interbay from oakland. Going from 56 into the 70s and eventually will make it close to 80 degrees today. More dry weather in the forecast as weve seen a break coming by as it keeps it north of us. Temperatures extend even into next week. Were still not looking at any rain chances at least for the first part of next week. We see this repeating. If you like the warmer weather, youre going to like this forecast. Even next week were looking at highs above normal with some 80s in the forecast. Keeping temperatures low there, looking at highs in the mid60s over the next several days. I went to this berkeley labs calculator that shows household2 tons of Carbon Dioxide a year. All of our nbc bay area is working from home and we have a look at our Carbon Footprint, how much we are saving. If we were to continue doing this over the course of a year something you can start to think about like, okay, im helping the environment, what can i continue to do even after the shelter at home order is lifted. So here is a look at all of our numbers, of course our chief meteorologist was the best at making the biggest dip in his Carbon Footprint and then a larger household looking at 22, cutting down that amount. And then we also see those improvements for rob as well as vianey. If youre following me on social media you can get a link to how you can calculate your Carbon Footprint, something we can all do on this earth day.

Timting but most reports are doing that same thing. Weve confirmed a measured drop. Theyre doing much less driving. Thats the critical factor, right . That carbon calculator kari is talking about needs to know many pollution driven miles. In this case the bay area is driving 70 less. More important than how many cars are out there. The tanker truck is still blocking the lane as you head down past the sunol exit. Happening now a rare sight in india. A Clear Blue Sky over new delhi.
