But the director said theyre not going to do that education secretary betsy devos said yesterday the guidelines are meant to be flexible and theres nothing to indicate the children are in any danger. The cdc guidelines are just that meant to be flexible and meant to applied as appropriate for the situation. There is no nothing in the data that would suggest that kids being back in school is dangerous to about kids need to be in school they need to be learning they need to be moving ahead, and we cant we cannot be paralyzed and not allow that or not it be intent on that happening. So she points out she is technically correct saying you know its not a danger to the children but other medical experts are saying and what about the danger to the teachers. And to the parents from all of those kids mingling together and possibly spreading covid without realizing it and thats why House Speaker nancy pelosi is upset, she said just slamming the Trump Administration for saying the kids should go back to school. I think what we heard from the secretary was malfeasance and and and dereliction of duty. This is appalling the message. The messing. The president and business traicion are messing. But the health of our children. It is we all want our children to go back to School Teachers do parents do and children do. But they must go back safely.

Well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. People think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. Thats absolutely 100 wrong. The home is ours.

Youre responsible for keeping up your property taxes and youre responsible for paying your insurance on the property. For us, it was a security blanket. The value of our house, was to fund our longterm health care. These are just a few uses of reverse mortgages. Or go online to request your free information kit.

I hope works out i cant stop him more people should be aware and i wish they were. San francisco has recorded 50 deaths so far with more than 4400 recorded cases of coronavirus. It is nice out there so if you do go out and stay away from other people and where a masked man its going to be warm enough that a lot of folks will probably want to head out to john whats it looking like yeah i mean we have a nice weekend and i think today maybe even more tempting for a lot of us to get outside as temperatures will just be more comfortable not such a scorcher ahead of us today, Golden Gate Bridge obviously its cloudy not so pretty right now and cloudy conditions will remain up the coast even to the afternoon for the rest of the bay area even our gray skies over the bay itself. We are going to see some clearing and thats going to set us up for a sunny and much more tolerable afternoon around the corner as the heat associated with this highpressure ridge thats built up across the southwest slides to the east its still going to bring heat and hot weather to the southern part of the state. But were really backing off of the hottest temperatures in the bay today so a nice little relief as far as our inland daytime highs go 50s 60s near the coastline where temperatures will remain cool and skies will remain foggy bayside areas are most comfortable 70s and low 80s in some cases like in Mountain View 81 saying carlos redwood city palo alto down from yesterdays 80s to the upper 70s today and for the south bay, its down from yesterdays 90s to the low to mid 80s today, same for you in the east bay, no 90s on the map and the tri valley nor on up to concord oakland and hayward in the low 70s while richmond and berkeley in the upper 60s, north bay temperatures Still Holding on to the 90s for just a couple of spots like vacaville pittsburgh in antioch well bernie should delay how in the 70s. Santa rosa down through center fell in the 80s today. Now this forecast is pretty steady for the week ahead tomorrow, well see temperatures rising just a few degrees and after that we really settle into those numbers, upper 80s to low 90s for inland daytime highs 70s by the bay 60s by the coast and sunshine and dry conditions all the way through the upcoming weekend. James, all right john thank you at 8. 48. Heres a quick look at the Richmond Center fell bridge toll plaza really lightened up nicely. Were not see too much traffic at all really on any portion of west bound 5. 80. Making away from richmond out towards sandra fell so its a good right here also good right on the Golden Gate Bridge. Volume picking up a bit here in the last half hour or so you can see the southbound traffic heading towards the camera is obviously more in terms of volume but youre still moving at the limits so no major backups as youre making your way southbound on 1, 1, from the north bay down into San Francisco. This month is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month despite advances in care the pandemic is greatly impacting minorities who want to get access to Mental Health treatment com 4 Sanaz Tahernia spoke with an expert. Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Its been around for about 15 years now, but i feel like some people may not necessarily know. May not have heard about it or may not know you know know much about it talk to us about how it started and where we are now with it. Well it started because people wanted to remove the berries that is associated with Mental Illness and theres a lot is stigma associated with Mental Illness, especially in the Minority Community in the black and brown communities i people are shane that they dont want to go get help when they have a mental help health issue and we want to stop ow. The state might say its ok, its actually a sign of strength when you go seek help for your mental onus. Now why is it important that we you know minority Mental Health. Everyones Mental Health is very much important ally is important to kind of separate this month out specifically for minority groups. Its specifically important because as a state minorities in the Minority Community is usually a sign of weakness when someone says that you have ptsd bipolar depression anxiety, but actually especially now that were going through this pandemic covid19 youre going to see a lot more cases of people who have Mental Health disorders the the organization before is stated that one in 4 individuals had a Mental Health disorder. But im quite sure those numbers are going to go up dramatically each after. We finish seen this pandemic outcome of this pandemic so the reason why they single out this month is so that we can focus one the around sisters, an africanamerican sisters say hey its okay to check your Mental Health state and get a handle on it because its just like any other physically will go get but youre checking in on your Mental Health state, its important.
