The southbay was hit hard by the coronavirus and is just beginning. New tonight, we spoke with Business Owners and some welcome the baby step forward. Others are frustrated. Small Business Owners hope Curbside Service will boost sales but theyre not counting on it. Others are finding new ways to test the system and reopen. The Small Business owner is displaying new merchandise. Hoping to attract customers. I am super happy that were finally getting to this point. Santa clara county will commit curbside pickup. A move they have already taken. Napa can now offer dining. It is frustrating to watch other counties open. Hard to watch when businesses are hurting. We are chomping at the bit to get to that next point. The chamber of commerce argues the town can move faster in the states reopening plan. I wish the county could purse out the different municipalities like the state does with the counties. We have not been a hotspot. Health officials amended the health order. Starting friday, certain retailers can start curbside cells. Face coverings are required at any business. Carburetor also allowed. Restrictions east since the number of new coronavirus cases is going down. The number of hospitalizations is also declining. I have clarks wipes. Who has those. I have lots of different kinds of beans. I have top ramen. The owner does not agree with the new owner. He is converting his comic book store into a convenience store. 20 percent of his floorspace filled with essential items. He place to have shoppers come inside on friday. The important thing is the business they say. It is not important so much what they sell. It is are you safe. We have always been safe. We will always continue to be safe. With cells done 90 percent, the owner tells me he has already been cited for being open. He will only do curbside tomorrow if police tell him to closes doors. He would then buy more food items until it is good enough to stay open. Restaurants are now allowed to reopen for dine in service. Today, eateries welcome customers to dine inside for the First Time Since the start of the pandemic. Salama received permission last night to ease restrictions and into deeper into phase 2.

The parks and Recreation Department is trying a new approach to keep people at a safe difference. There putting chalk circles on the grass six feet apart to show people where they can say. Live coverage now. She has been looking into where this idea came from and how people are reacting. The Department New with the normal weather coming and memorial day weekend, people are going to want to go outside. That is why theyre launching this new program to see if it works. Take a walk in the park. You may see one of these. We just saw them today. We did not notice them until we walked back. They are spaced six feet apart. More are being drawn up. Such as washington park. Dolores park in the mission district. My friend sent me a picture of what it was looking like. He says the circle has encouraged him it was safe to socialize outside. It is because of the circles to be honest. Some were skeptical about the parking spots. I thought it was a little farfetched. Then they said they found the markings take the guesswork out of social distancing. At the same time, it was not six feet apart. These are blatantly obvious. The social circles are a relief after past weekends with big crowds. Here it is super clear what the boundaries are. I think this is deafly more organized and relaxed than it was on saturday. San francisco decided to try it after talking to new york city where officials tried it in domino park. We wanted to put it in four separate cultures of the city. This is the hub program. We wanted to see how it would work out. It essentially takes no additional funds. The department is talking up the cost normally marking city sports fields. They hope it will be another reminder for people to stay safe during this pandemic. The pandemic is really sold that parks are nice to have. They are a critical part of our infrastructure. They are what is keeping people healthy and sane. We want to keep all of our parks open. We want people to have a good time. That means using them safely. Tomorrow, the Department Plans to put more circles at a fourth part. They say they may consider actually expanding this program. Such a simple idea. It seems to really make sense. It is right there on the ground. The San Francisco landmarks are going green tonight. Green lights are shining on city hall. The Salesforce Tower and the conservatory in golden gate park.

Even if it means sacrificing everything. What he does not question his cause, he does have an issue with his motives. He went his whole career and never mentioned that. He lost his starting job and he was no longer important. Now he found this issue and became the most important athlete in america. It seems to me he found a way to become even more famous. A continuing theme in gloves off. The media and their relationship with todays athletes. It is a contentious unsolvable relationship. I love the adjective used. It is unsolvable.
