He said the state metrics are set up in a hard and fast way and do not show what is actually going on in San Mateo County. Hospitalizations are stable or decreasing but as of friday, the county is still on the list. Counties can end up on the list of things like hospitalizations, case rate and Positivity Rate exceed a threshold. He says the watchlist is flawed. The fate of taking a single metric approach and applying it to the watchlist, which does not relate to the underlying of whats really going on but the big issues it does not have any context. Is just a single metric. Our numbers, they very 30 per day sometimes. So, it does not reflect what is going on here.

We come to the fair every year and its in and that we miss so we decided to come out six vendors instead of the usual 30 but all the favorites. We are used to putting on a massive air for 250 people so we have to think differently. Reporter and that of a crowded carnival it is a traffic jam, socially distance. Our biggest challenge was getting hit past the Health Officer. We are just pushing through it. It takes about twice as much effort to run this as it does the fair. With all the servers and all being covid compliant. Reporter most times of the trees did not make it out of the parking lot. Like turkey, like pizza, it like it so much.

Dr. Margaret galli says, as many as 300,000 records may have been backlogged. Governor newsom is calling for an internal investigation. The incident began on july 25th, when a server outage created a delay in record entering in the states tracking system. And that was the beginning of several missteps. As a result, we have seen technical changes that allowed records flow to the system more quickly. These technical changes were supposed to be temporary. However, they were not and later disabled, causing for the delay in reporting of lab data and creating an extensive backlog. Simultaneously, we discovered that we were not receiving data from one of our largest commercial labs for a period of five days. Dr. Galli says, server upgrades have now been made and a secondary system has been put in place to validate lab report data. Time now, 9 04.

Reporter good morning, frank heard we did speak to us but scott morrow when he says, he does not support San Mateo County being a californias coronavirus watchlist. His criticisms go a step further, he says, the system is flawed heard morrow says, theres a huge data quality and consistency issue and the state metrics are set up in a hard and fast way and dont show what is actually going on in San Mateo County. Last weekend, the county had to shut down or modify businesses like gyms, places of worship, nail and hair salons and malls after landing on the watchlist for three consecutive days. He says, hospitalizations are stable or decreasing it as of friday, the county is still on the states list. Counties can end up on the list if things like hospitalizations, case rates and Positivity Rates exceed a certain threshold. Morrow says, he has spoken to state leaders about his concerns about the list so he didnt get anywhere with that. He says, the list may make sense if seen from a state level but says, in San Mateo County, the virus is now spreading because it is recently such shutdown businesses. The fundamental is detrimental to his actions for what is actually going on when they need it. Regardless of if it is consistent or not, are they right . I dont know whether or not it is right or not heard maybe it is right for l. A. And sacramento but i know whats going on in san mateo and i know what is causing the spread. I know the cause and so these actions are doing nothing but causing harm. Reporter the state froze the county monitoring list on july 31st to make sure the data was correct for the California Department of Public Health said earlier this week, there were technical issues and delays with the states warning system, leaving cases being underreported. Morrow says to get out of the situation, the best thing for people to do is to continue avoiding gatherings, where a mask and socially distance. Reporting live, Sara Zendehnam, ktvu fox 2 news.

We have an officer and route to international to take a look and a report and if you are available, we will be there in about 10 minutes. Im asleep. Thats sweet sleep naptime, 4 00. Something about a crime that we get daily takes our officers away from responding to those property crimes. Oakland police say, they respond to as many as 3000 calls a day, making it difficult to quickly respond to every property crime in the city. 9 09. A check the weather now. If you like it hot . Especially in lent, today is your day. Yeah, it is going to be a really nice day out there, frank. But you know, if you are in lent, youre going to notice those 90s, no doubt about it. Its going to be a little bit warmer than it was accident michael a little bit warmer than today. We will finally get some cooling there but a little bit if i got there as we take a live look out there outside this morning but notice, a little bit of light working its way into mac because we are going to see some pitiful sunshine today heard all across the bay, in fact, lots of the bay are releasing the right now. Wind is nice and calm thats a little different from where we live in the last few days with breezy conditions. Notice, you know, we are at 3 Miles Per Hour in sfo, certainly seen a lot higher than that over the last week. Could temperatures right now, kirkville, 50 degrees built novella, 57. Good morning to you, napa, 63 for you and oakland we got a little bit of the fogger the, 65 degrees. 68 in dublin, 62 in fremont heard we are at 59 in San Francisco and warming up a little bit more in stamford at about 66 degrees and we are also in those 60s in san jose. We are starting a pretty nice and again, are green there is present and we do have some for the but looks is going to be burning up a little bit earlier today. So to get some ice and turn in there. We are starting to lose the influence of a low pressure system that is keeping us a little bit cooler over the past few days. And we are going to start seeing the amounts of High Pressure now that is going to other bashers to build up a bit which is why were looking out for temperatures this afternoon to get into the 90s in places like livermore and we can see it also in morgan hills. I think a northbay could see a few spots as well. So today, mostly sunny skies all around as soon as we start take kick this fog. Again, look at the temperature there, you can see 60s at the coast but couple degrees warmer than we were yesterday. But in that, things will be over the going to feel it come that were going to see place like antioch getting up to 95 degrees today. Santa rosa today, 89. Average for you. 68 in San Francisco. About 75 and oakland and 93 in livermore. Thats one of the spots is going to be one out there. 87 in san jose. Again, were going to warm up today warmup tomorrow. And then your extended forecast, we will tell you about that when we come back in just a little bit. For now, i will send it over to the desk. Okay, thanks, tyler.

Att election day, three months away heard Presumptive Democratic president ial nominee joe biden has a big announcement. Coming up next week, his Vice President ial running mate, senator Kamala Harris, former National Security harris susan rice and representative karen bass a bill to have the inside track. Word last night, Gretchen Whitmer spent last weekend in delaware area talking at length with mr. Biden. Michigan of course, a battleground state and teaming with them would help bidens cause. Lets say hello to usf Political Science Professor James taylor on this saturday morning. James, good morning. Good morning. All right, governor witmer and i to know each other pretty well. Does she have a shot . If so, what was she bring to the ticket . I think she brings a lot to the ticket heard she is at a big ten state, a midwest state that joe biden would need. Last time donald trump won the state by 10,000 votes, 2077 African Americans mobilized in detroit a lot, forget the rest of the africanamerican state. That pattern happened in pennsylvania, wisconsin and other places like that. What happens with her bringing to the table as she becomes the lightning rod of defining the president , define the protesters and she has a lot like a prosecutors background. That should hurt her with some more progressive backgrounds like anyone with a prosecutors background would but like all have been saying, witmer are some of the gavin newsom, someone young and dynamic, a young democrat would really balance the ticket. There is nothing else young on either of the tickets. And so she or gavin newsom could be dynamic but then as he has been sort of force to deal with the demographic dynamics of picking a woman, you know, and a woman of color, this kind of puts biden in a situation, if he picks witmer or warren, going to be a lot of hurt feelings for a long time that he will have to mend in order to move forward with more mobilization before he can get a behind his candidacy. We have heard so much from, harris, rice and rob sennett of bass. Who would be the leader in that group . Reporter the poll shows Kamala Harris, not were great, 45 50 but maybe more like 30 in terms of morality. Warren has the lead, Kamala Harris has the advantage that Amy Klobuchar sort of boxed biden in, saying, he should pick an africanamerican woman. Biden box himself and by not clarifying that he had four africanamerican women candidates out of 12 people altogether. It almost seems like he has to pick an africanamerican woman in a small list of women but it was a group of one third of the ones were listed as african american. Someone might be like duckworth. The democrats have so many choices here, they are all brilliant, bright women sharp and Elizabeth Warren is a true progressive and bass and true progressive, bernietype aoc type progressives. For that reason, bass probably has a lead because she has big steak, policy walk, great records of law and order in terms of reform. She is everything you could possibly want. She doesnt have a lot of political baggage, the worst thing she has said is the mccaskill. My, there were some words you use that could easily be dismissed compared to all of the things that donald trump has said. And then there is a lot of baggage with her. That is the biggest thing you can find it she said something about castro when he died. There is not a lot of baggage. Duckworth, military background, Foreign Policy expert, you know, disabled. Fdr ran this country from a wheelchair and was considered the greatest president in american history. She has great readability, a lot of short, smart cases of policy strengths. She has got the benghazi baggage but she has got a lot of positives that she brings back, the obama foreignpolicy team, you know, she doesnt have a lot of connections to the africanamerican community. She and Camilla Harris both have this cultural problem with the black community that we dont have time to talk about. Keisha bottoms, if mayors can be Vice President s, if mayors can be president s, i would say she has a great chance to be on the ticket but again, shes coming from a city and that is hard for me Political Science respect in terms of a trajectory or fast track to the presidency. She has to be like pete buttigieg, a mayor problem. We dont have mayors to become president unless big they become congressmen or congresswomen first and then they become senators. That, a municipal level issue with bottoms. Demings, all the positive a big state, florida, progressive, unsung issues. Police officer with the ive pro history that tells you shes an africanamerican and proud democrat. Again, the slate of people, democrats have to choose from are amazing. The negative is there has not been a successful woman be vp candidate yet, jean ferraro and sara palin both did not work out. The positive is that since 2018, women are the key to winning anything electorally. They are almost undefeated in the democratic column when running against men. So biden would want to have a woman because the electoral incentive is in that direction. James, i would love to sit in one of your classes. I think you just covered a to z in about four minutes. We are out of time. I wanted to ask you abou no, no. We will go there another day but some great insight and we will see where joe biden goes this week. Hes got a lot of great women o senator or attorney general but there is no power to reverse these issues that trump has raised. The vp is kind of a symbolic position of the question is, is that power that we can talk about another time. All right, a terrific insight.
