Next, tighten the sides for a snug fit. You can also apply an antifogging solution to your lens or try wearing your glasses on top of your mask. Are you suffering from mask acne . When you wear your mask for a long period of time, you sweat, which can cause bacteria to build up. That can lead to acne. First, make sure your face and your mask are both clean before heading out. If youre still breaking out, ask your dermatologist whether an over the county acne cream that contains benzo peroxide might help. If your ears feel irritated its because the elastic ear loop causes friction and that can irritate the back of your ears. Try rubbing some Petroleum Jelly behind your ears. You can also switch to a tieback mask instead of an elastic ear loop one. And you know youre not supposed to be touching your mask, but it keeps slipping off. If your mask keeps slipping, tighten until it feels a little harder to breathe. You should also notice your mask moving in and out as you breathe. Follow these tips to wear your mask to keep others safe and stay comfortable at the same time.

Time now for the 4 at 4 00. Dion and spencer are joining us. Were going to start with dining safety during the pandemic. So yesterday we saw a driver crash into a seating area in san jose, injuring several people. For several counties Outdoor Dining is the only option right now and it may have just felt like a matter of time before we saw a terrible accident. Counties have allowed customers to be served indoors but the capacity right now is limited. Indoor dining has raised its share of concerns over the potential spread of the coronavirus. So, i dont know, spencer, does this deter you at all in terms of dining outdoors in, like, either a parking lot or, you know, some cities carve out a little part of the street. You know, kristen, ive thought about the possibility of this kind of accident happening because i do take advantage of the opportunity to dine outdoors. I enjoy it. In fact, i dont think im ready to go back inside restaurants yet. But ive ive dined at a couple of places where the seating is very close to the to the street and ive wondered about, you know, someone losing control of the car and plowing into a restaurant, yeah. What do you think, dion . Yeah, i thought of the same thing myself with the rise of Outdoor Dining. Someone on facebook actually commented to me yesterday, what about europe . What about other places where Outdoor Dining is very common. The difference with this is its not a parking lot, what theyre dealing with. There has to be some kind of barricade or sign indicating, hey, be careful, slow down. Yeah. Thats why i think in some areas, obviously cant do this every place, but, you know, if its main street, its all blocked off on both ends. No cars can get through. Its hard to do that in every location, but that seems to be a safer approach, if it can be done. Discussions reportedly back under way that would allow a shorter quarantine for travellers between london and new york. According to the wall street journal, the talks are focussing on a socalled air coordinator that would test passengers for covid19 both before flying and then upon their arrival. The report says passengers would still have to quarantine, but not for 14 days. As is required now. And officials would like to have a plan in place before the end of november. Spencer, you fly a lot. Im kind of wondering why as we try to get back to whatever the new normal is, its taking so long to figure out these plans. Obviously shortage of testing is an issue in some areas. But, you know, before and after, if its reasonably priced, would seem to be the best approach. What do you think . I think youre right. Ive had the same question youve had about why its taking so long to for someone to figure this out. I heard and read a lot lately about some airports in heavilytravelled destinations like big cities like new york and london. Talking about instituting covid tests upon arrival. But, like, how soon do you get the results . Can they give you the results right away . Do you have to go into quarantine go two days until you get the results . I dont know what the answer is. Someone needs to figure this out because people need to travel. Spencer, i have to say, i want to know how long this quarantine period is because even though its not going to be 14 days, if youre there for lets say three or four days, do you have enough vacation to tack on an additional few days . Right. So, so many questions still. Yeah. I know theres some studies under way to see with adequate testing before and after arrival if you can shorten the quarantine time. We need those studies and we need them concluded. I know the Airline Industry feels the same way, right . Yeah, for sure. All right. Larry, meanwhile, keep working on hawaii for us, okay . Okay. We have seen our share of Mountain Lions caught on camera in the bay area. A utah hiker, however, might have topped them all with his encounter with a big cat over the weekend. Go away no. No oh, my goodness, right . The man was hiking outside Salt Lake City on a trail. You can see the cougar lunged at him with his claws out at least twice. It keeps on following the man, almost as if it were stalking him. This went on for several minutes. The hiker tried to make loud noises to scare off the Mountain Lion. Eventually that worked and it took off running. Dion, can you imagine still recording when the cougar is coming at you . I think i probably would have flung my phone deep into the woods after a few feet. I dont know, is this the proper protocol . Can someone educate me on Mountain Lion reaction etiquette . Spencer, i think youre supposed to act big and make loud noises, thats all i know. Youre supposed to try to look big and, you know, and be loud. I think your advised not to make eye contact, just to look big and fierce. I might be too scared for that. Yeah, i would probably grab some of the rocks because that path, you had a ton of rocks. But maybe he didnt want to get down low yeah. That might have initiated an attack. I dont know if its if it was selfie time. That went on apparently for six minutes. That the that the cat was stalking. Thats six minutes got to feel like six days when youre looking at that coming at you. Crazy. Yeah, absolutely. I had a sea otter stalk me once, like, literally a twohour kayaking trip it would not leave us alone, trying to jump on to our kayak. That was adorable and not scary like this. Maybe he just liked you, kristen. He wanted to be adopted. Yes. Covid19 has changed just about everything we do. That includes how cities and teams celebrate their championships. At this point, no plans to hold a parade to celebrate the lakers victory over the miami heat last night. The lakers first nba title in ten years. Lebron james and his teammates arrived back in l. A. This afternoon, flying in from the orlando bubble, where they spent more than three months in isolation. According to the l. A. Times, there had been some talks of a possible virtual parade and party but the lakers have not released any information about that just yet. And i think that the latest that ive heard is that theyre going to plan to do something at some point in time. But nobody has even the slightest clue. Does that sound a little vague, spencer . Slightly vague. Nobody knows. When are you going to be able to to get together. Although, we had just a little bit unclear. Hundreds, if not a few thousand people outside the Staples Center last night in what was obviously not a sanctioned celebration. Dion, what do you think . How soon is it are we going to be, you know, having the opportunity to get together again . I mean, i dont know about that, but can you imagine trying to have a celebration where usually people climb up, you know, telephone poles and, like, cause all kinds of debotchery a and then doing it in front of your ipad, just not the same. I feel like you cant recreate that. Yeah, its hard to get up the telephone pole while youre carrying the ipad is what ive found. Challenging. Not that simple.

Its going to be in the upper 90s later this week with dry, gusty wind flowing offshore. So the heats even going to go out to the coastline. Heres a look at overnight conditions on our forecast animation. Notice the absence of any sigma rine layer. So even the coast will be clear, so to speak.
