All of them can have a few more people inside. The mayor of oakland gives the credit to residents for being diligent. All these indoor activities like climbing walls, bowling alleys, these are going to start to be allowed to reopen at 25 capacity and all that because you have done such a great job keeping that social distance, wearing the mask. Indoor stores and malls can even allow more people. They can increase capacity to 50 .

Its not quite as cold as the east bay valleys in the 40s, were in the low to mid 50s here under cloudy conditions. You can see temperatures mainly in the 50s throughout the bay and as you head into the dosnor bay, upper 40s. 44 in danville. They have a clear sky. Heres the exploratorium. You can see some of the clouds in that marine layer that will make for a comfortable day to be outside. If you can, work from outside, maybe a little Remote Learning outside. Get outside and enjoy some nature today as we have those comfortable temperatures. Lets talk about when our damaging winds will be the greatest. The greatest threat of damage from the winds, whether its bringing trees down, losing power, that will be from 4 00 sunday afternoon through 10 00 monday morning. Thats also when well have our highest fire danger. But our fire danger is going to be about a 48hour event. Ill explain that coming up in the big weather. Here is jobina with the morning commute. Hi, mike. Thank you. Good morning. Happy friday to you. We have a great sit weighuation for our traffic. A clear ride all morning long. You can see all of this green. Hardly any slowdowns to report.

So downtown San Francisco of course not so many people down there right now because of the pandemic, but the citys push for congestion pricing is still moving along. The city wants to charge people driving through downtown and most of soma. They think the tolls will cut congestion by 15 . They want a plan in place by the time more workers come back into the office. The county Transportation Authority will hold a meeting next month to discuss three options. Two of those would charge inbound traffic only with discounts for certain people. The third option would charge traffic going both ways. Still ahead, the fast food chain giving away masks that smell like chicken. Plus keeping the cap on food delivery fees in San Francisco. How long people can expect to pay lower prices if one measure is passed. And lets take a live look outside and see what it looks like at 6 11 this morning.

Yesterday at around 11 00 in the morning, the gunman barricaded himself in this shoe store, took a hostage and opened fire. After several hours, police were able to negotiate the employee. The suspect remained agitated firing more rounds. A few hours later they coaxed him out bringing him into custody. Police say the suspect was wanted in connection to a double homicide. A California Appeals Court ruled uber and lyft violated a state labor law, but the ruling wont have an immediate effect. The ruling says that the Ride Hailing Companies misclassified their drivers as contractors instead of employees and that goes against Assembly Bill 5 which grants fair wages and benefits to workers classified as employees. This issue is on the ballot. If prop 22 passes next month, the companies would be allowed to classify drivers as independent contractors.

A virus thats ravaged the economy and killed more than 22,000 americans in 222,000 americans in seven months. I say were learning to live with it. We cant lock ourselves up in a basement like joe does. People are dying for it. Anyone who caused that many deaths should not remain president of the united states. He painted a rosie picture at odds with what the data shows. It will go away ands say, were rounding the turn, rounding the corner. Were about to go into a dark birnt. A dark winter.
