He'll sign an executive order today that would begin the process to boost that wage to $15 an hour. This would take effect by the end of March next year. Biden also wants a $15 minimum wage for tipped federal contractors. The by an administration hopes to reach that, by 2024. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to announce updated guidance for the use of masks outdoors during the pandemic. The CDC is expected to relax the guidance, NPR's Maria Godoy says That's partly because more than half of the adults in the U. S have gotten at least one dose of a covert 19 vaccine. One analysis suggested that the risk of transmitting the Corona virus is 19 times, lower outdoors and indoors. Another study out of Ireland looked at more than 230,000 covert cases in that country through March of this year, and it found that just one in 1000 cases could be traced to outdoor transmission.

Yes, it's hard to keep up counties learn how many doses air coming just days in advance, according to San Francisco Health officer Dr Grant Colfax. He says 117,000 residents have a first dose, but we need to get more needles into arms and get that number higher. Insurance provider Blue Shield took over the state's job distributing vaccines as of yesterday. Even so, Colfax says he still doesn't know how that's going to work. We do hope that this will improve our ability to understand inventory scheduling on data reporting, but I don't have any details to share this point because the details have not been shared with the county's yet So far, Counties have gotten 1st and 2nd doses. Separately soon the state will send one pile of vaccines and leave it to counties how to allocate those doses. San Francisco supervisor Matt Haney says that's why planning is important. If we could be sure about how many doses we're going to get in three weeks, we could do that. But it's hard to be confident in that if the supply remains so inconsistent. San Francisco and Napa have paused first doses when shipments fell short. Other Bay Area counties are worried they'll have to do the same thing. I'm Molly Peterson. KQED news.

Since you know March And if this chemical is for real I don't really know how it would work. I mean, If you let's assume it works. There's try ethylene glycol. I don't understand. So if you spray it And then you fill the theater with people some of whom have covered 19, aren't they? Still they will do transmit it to other people. Thank you. Yeah, that disinfects the theater, but it doesn't keep you from coming in contact with somebody else who may be carrying the virus and not show symptoms so I mean, he's a brilliant and prolific producer of Broadway theater and live entertainment, and I'm sure this has just been Frustrating as it has for many people in the arts. But I don't know the unfortunately that this makes any sense. Meantime, here in the city Mosconi center is going to be among the growing number of mass vaccination sites in the Bay Area. That's kind of exciting because we were talking about the fact that there really wasn't one in San Francisco, with the latest sites that should open in just a matter of days include the Mosconi Center and the Oakland Coliseum. Crews have been preparing the site at the Mosconi Center for weeks. It is set to open for appointments tomorrow. I wanted her to say with Try ethylene glycol being sprayed on. Wow. Wow, look at life Works out. Supervisor Matt Haney just tweeted yesterday that there's no firm date, so we should be finding out at a news conference later this morning. What The exact plan is this will be the city's largest mass vaccination site. There are two others one of the city's Bayview, the other at City College. In the East Bay Governor Gavin Newsom hopes to turn the Oakland Coliseum into a mask over 19 vaccination site by February 16th.

Years of age and older. Now, this is taking place at the very end of Buchanan Street in the parking lot north of Golden Gate Fields. Near Albany Beach, So things were happening, right? This is what you want to see, you know? San Matteo County. They used the San Matteo County Event center now. To administer vaccines. So the rollout and the mass vaccination centers are for real. Mm, CVS and Walgreens have together vaccinated almost 8000 people. That's through the federal partnership that gives the vaccination to assisted living facilities in some of them are going out. Oh, some of these nursing homes. There was a story yesterday that the there was a nursing home. I believe it was in Castro Valley. There were that, although yes, staff members and all the residents were able to get inoculated, so I just really would like to see that vulnerable population and really get taken care of. That makes me Very unhappy. Meantime, quickly during this whole covert 19 shutdown. Guess what's done well. Cannabis. That's right. I mean, I like to take care of my my weed Smokers is you're aware my weed smokers as well there They're everywhere and apparently insufficient numbers that cannabis stocks. Have been on a major rally. There's a new deal. I guess that has Prompted interest in weed and its medical benefits, and that's driven stocks up even higher. Deal shows the drug industries recognizing the value and future potential of cannabinoid based medicines, according to one fund manager. $7 billion deal for the first company to win US regulatory approval. Four Ah cannabis based drug That's a move that's gonna boost investor interest in what in cannabis and it's You know? Medical benefits, which have been touted for some time. Anybody better way. Well, that's not the way they sound it, really, but right? Well, it's been, you know, is being developed to be used for treatment of for people who have some form of epilepsy. Um, Apparently, there's a company also looking into using it for sleep medication. Because Bret's right there's actually a This G W Pharmaceuticals, which is one of the stocks, it's really rallying. They have this MPD Alexe. That's the drug that got us FDA approval as a treatment for severe forms of childhood epilepsy that was in 2018. And then what they're looking at, is also the sleep benefits and so because of FDA approval and because of the benefits being touted, the cannabis stocks are rallying like crazy. The one I mentioned GW farmers off 46%. Oh, in one afternoon this week. Could've should've would've. Yeah. Yeah, well, cannabis people who believed in for a long time I'm talking about from an investment standpoint on maybe it's day has finally come, especially with a Democrat. In the White House. You know you have under the GOP is you have a whole, You know, you have a holdover from some sort of a puritanical notion about you know what's okay and what's not You also have many would tell you you have lobbying from, um you know, industries that are associated with the liquor industry, you know, with with spirits, right, and they want to keep Cannabis out of that game. Again. This is part of a much bigger you know what Seagram's and all the rest. And so that's always successfully kept cannabis right there on the edge of legal illegal. As you know, the feds have been at odds with the states and always been a question how much the feds have wanted to enforce the law. Well, now with Democrats in charge, you know the Democrats don't have that thing going. They they're not Joseph Jones into bust Anybody over pot. And so you may think that's a bad thing, but it's it's a thing.
