Her trip comes as the nations top Infectious Disease expert opens up on his thoughts on College Campus reopening plans. The search for a vaccine hits a promising new development, but when its finally a reality, who should get it first . Today in the bays bob redell has that part of the story. First, lets head out to kris sanchez kicking off our Team Coverage with more on that exclusive 101 with dr. Anthony fauci. Kris . Reporter well, good morning to you, marcus and laura. Our Bay Area School kids have been back in class learning from home for the last couple of weeks now. We know that a lot of universities and colleges are still trying to figure out what to do with their students as the student body returns to campus in person. Here at san jose state and the rest of the cal state System Limited inperson learning and research happening on campus. Only the sorts of things you cant do at home like lab work. Most of the students are learning virtually. The nations top doctor, anthony fauci, said students should be kept in place and not sent home when there is that inevitable covid19 outbreak. Its the worst thing you could do. Keep them at the university in a place thats sequestered enough from the other students so you dont get a cluster in the university but dont have them go home because they could be spreading it in their home state. Reporter so that advice comes as new data points to a longer infection window in children infected with covid19 but asymptomatic. The journal of the American Medical Association pediatrics, about 100 south Korean Children in 2 dozen hospitals were studied. Back here at home Speaker Pelosi plans to be at a San Francisco home to call on the senate to get onboard the h. E. R. O. E. S. Act. State superintendent Tony Thurmond and others will join her at the Mission Education center. That act calls for about 58 billion in funding for kindergarten through high school and then also 42 billion for higher education. The republicanbacked counter bill ties that to reopening schools for inperson learning. Kris sanchez, today in the bay. Thank you, kris. A follow yum on the covid outbreak at chico state that sent all students and staffers home. The campus is fully closed. At least 36 have become infected. School leaders say it happened despite numerous measures taken to ensure safety in part because the school has a limited testing capacity. The origin of the outbreak is still not clear. So even if a covid19 vaccine is produced this year, you might have to wait well into next year in order to receive it. A group of scientists is recommending that only certain people soreceive the vaccine first. Reporter correct, those on the front lines in the fight against covid19 and individuals who are at the highest risk of contracting the virus n. A draft report released within the past 24 hours the National Academies of science, engineering and medicine is recommending that the United States be broken up into four groups to prioritize who receives the vaccine first. Highrisk individuals and Senior Citizens in nursing homes, as i mentioned. This would be about 15 of the total population. Group two, essential workers, teachers, people in jails or homeless shelters, moderate risk individuals in order of people responded from group one. At this point about half the country would be inoculated. Group three, young adults and children and other workers at risk of exposure. And group four would be everyone else. Again, most of us would not be able to get the vaccine until next year if the vaccine were available this year for, again, those first groups. There has been a breakthrough in the development of a vaccine, a new study done on some 30,000 people in iceland showed that antibodies people produced to veit the virus lasts for four months. Thats longer than what previous studies showed. The antibodies may last longer than we thought they would, meaning if there is a vaccine you wouldnt have to keep on getting the vaccine or booster a bunch of different times. Reporter so far they have found that in at least one patient the antibodies dropped significantly after just three months. Reporting live, bob redell, today in the bay. Bob, thank you.

Lets get a reason why the smoke wont get out of here and why we have our 16th straight day of the spare the air alert. High pressure pushes the air down and theres a light wind. It basically creates a cap and that traps the smoke and especially during the Morning Hours we have cooler temperatures and that also causes the air to sink and then as we go into the weekend were still hot it gets going into the holiday weekend, up to 103 degrees on this sunday.
