CALL 1-800-BILL-HOWE.

AND BY THE CONRAD PREBYS FOUNDATION , AND BY THE FOLLOWING.

AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

-- >>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

I MET MY ANSWERABLE SEE.

THE SHOTS ARE COVERED WITH OR WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S EMERGENCY YOUTH -- USE OF THE RACE AND BUT WE WERE TOLD THIS MAN WAS CHARGE FOR THE VACCINE.

>>> WHILE PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO ARE ALREADY GETTING THEIR DOSES OF THE UPDATED VACCINE IT IS NOT WITHOUT CHALLENGES.

A VIEWER TOLD KPBS HE WAS CHARGED $191 AT A CPS IN LA JOLLA AND HIS WIFE WAS ALSO CHARGED AT A CPS IN ENCINITAS.

CVS SAYS SOME INSURANCE COMPANIES MAY NOT BE SET UP TO COVER THE VACCINES BUT PEOPLE CAN BE REIMBURSED .

SOCIAL EPIDEMIOLOGIST RACHEL MILLER GOT HER UPDATED VACCINE DOSE TODAY AND WAS NOT CHARGED.

SHE SAYS THE FACT THAT IT IS FREE IS IMPORTANT.

>> ALL OF THESE VACCINES SHOULD BE ACCESSIBLE AND THERE ARE MECHANISMS TO MAKE THEM ACCESSIBLE, BUT THE MORE FRICTION THAT YOU THROW UP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND A VACCINE THE LESS LIKELY PEOPLE WILL BE TO GET VACCINATED WHICH IS NOT WHAT WE WANT.

>> THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SAYS IT'S ALSO HEARING ABOUT ISSUES WITH INSURERS NOT COVERING THE NEW VACCINES.

THEY SAID THEY ARE REMINDING INSURANCE PLAN THAT THEY MUST " COVER WITHOUT COST-SHARING ANY COVID-19 VACCINE AUTHORIZE UNDER EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION."

FIELDING MILLER SAYS LOWERING THE BARRIERS TO GETTING A VACCINE IS CRITICAL TO PUBLIC HEALTH.

>> IF YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE OFF WORK BECAUSE THERE'S NO APPOINTMENT, THAT'S A BARRIER.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY AND YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO NEGOTIATE WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER TO BE REPAID, THAT'S A BARRIER.

ALL OF THESE BARRIERS, SOME PEOPLE WILL HAVE SOME OF THEM BUT CERTAIN PEOPLE WILL HAVE ALL OF THEM SO THE MORE THAT WE CAN REMOVE BARRIERS AND MAKE IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO KEEP THEMSELVES HEALTHY, THE BETTER IT WILL BE FOR EVERYBODY.

>> Reporter: IF YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED FOR THE UPDATED COVID- 19 VACCINE A HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES SPOKESPERSON SAYS THAT'S A MISTAKE.

ALSO TO REACH OUT TO YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE PROVIDER.

MELISSA MAY, THANK YOU.

>>> SAN DIEGO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY WILL NOT CONSIDER CHARGING DRIVERS BY THE MILE TO FUND PUBLIC TRANSIT, BUT KPBS METRO REPORT -- REPORTER SAYS THERE ARE STILL BIG QUESTIONS ON HOW TO PAY FOR PROJECTS THAT FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE.

>> Reporter: SAN DIEGO AND CALIFORNIA HAVE PLEDGED TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IN ROUGHLY THE NEXT TWO DECADES.

THAT'S WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY IS NECESSARY TO AVERT THE MOST CATASTROPHIC AND DEADLY IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

BUT NET ZERO ADMISSIONS WILL MEAN DEEP REDUCTIONS IN CAR TRAVEL AND METERS FACED THE CHALLENGE OF HOW TO PAY FOR IMPROVEMENTS FOR ALTERNATIVES LIKE PUBLIC TRANSIT.

THE COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY HAD BEEN CONSIDERING A TWO CENT CHARGE FOR EVERY MILE PEOPLE DRIVE IN THEIR CARS.

THE POLICY CALLED "THE ROAD USER CHARGE," WAS MEANT TO MAKE TRANSIT FASTER, SAFER AND CHEAPER BUT THE ROAD USER CHARGE FACED A FIERCE BACKLASH PRIMARILY FROM REPUBLICANS.

TWO YEARS AGO THE LOCAL LEADERS ON SANDAG'S BOARD VOTED TO ABANDON THE POLICY.

A GROUP OF THEM GATHERED BEFORE FRIDAY'S BOARD MEETING SAYING IT SHOULD NEVER BE RECONSIDERED.

>> I CANNOT PERSONALLY SUPPORT A FEE OR A TAX THAT WILL BE CHARGED TO ALL CAR DRIVERS, BUT DOESN'T EVEN MAINTAIN OR BUILD LANES OR HIGHWAYS.

>> Reporter: SANDAG BOARD LATER VOTED TO RESTATE THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE ROAD USE CHARGE BUT SEVERAL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THEY STILL NEED TO FIND AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE OF REVENUE TO PAY FOR MAINTAINING AND IMPROVING INFRASTRUCTURE, ESPECIALLY AS MORE PEOPLE DRIVE ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND STOP PAYING GAS TAXES.

>> I AM ALL FOR HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT EQUITABLY PAYING FOR A ROAD SYSTEM.

THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING TESLAS, THEY DON'T REALLY CONTRIBUTE MUCH TO OUR ROAD SYSTEM.

>> Reporter: STAKES ARE FOR SANDAG -- HIGH FOR SANDAG BOARD MEMBERS.

IF THEY CAN APPROVE A PLAN SAN DIEGO COUNTY COULD LOSE ACCESS TO STATE AND FEDERAL SUBSIDIES THAT PAY FOR EVERYTHING FROM FREEWAYS TO PUBLIC TRANSIT TO POTHOLE REPAIR.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL ACROSS A LOT OF THE SOUTHWEST.

OF COURSE ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END.

WE ARE TRACKING A POTENTIAL COOLDOWN AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK.

WE BREAK THAT DOWN AND TELL YOU WHERE TEMPERATURES GO OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

>>> A SAN DIEGO COUNTY SUPERVISOR IS CALLING FOR THE BOARD TO DECLARE A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS OVER THE INFLUX OF MIGRANTS OF THE BORDER.

IN A STATEMENT ADVISER JIM DESMOND SAID OVER 5000 MIGRANTS HAVE BEEN DROPPED OFF AT TRANSIT STATIONS OVER THE LAST 10 DAYS.

HE ADDS THE COUNTY ALREADY FACES A HOMELESSNESS CRISIS AND THIS WILL ONLY EXACERBATE THE ISSUE.

DESMOND HAS PLACED AN ITEM ON NEXT TUESDAY'S BOARD MEETING AGENDA TO DECLARE THE SITUATION AS A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS AND CALL FOR FEDERAL SYSTEMS URGENTLY.

>>> VOLUNTEERS IN NORTH COUNTY OFFERING THEIR TIME TO HELP MIGRANTS PASS THROUGH SAN DIEGO.

LOGAN GOVERNMENT IS IN A TAXI OR RIDE-SHARE DRIVER BUT FOR THE PAST WEEK HIS LIFE IS CONSISTED OF DRIVING THROUGH TRAFFIC HELPING CONNECT MIGRANTS WITH THEIR SPONSOR FAMILIES AT THE AIRPORT.

AS PART OF AN EFFORT BY NONPROFIT INTERFAITH COMMUNITY SERVICES.

GOVERNMENT SAID HIS NEW DUTIES ALLOW HIM TO MAKE CONNECTIONS THAT HE NEVER ANTICIPATED.

>> AS SOON AS WE GOT IN I ASKED THEM TO PUT ON THEIR FAVORITE MUSIC.

IT WAS A PARTY.

THEY HAD TOLD ME THAT SINCE THEY LEFT GINNY I WAS THE FIRST PERSON THAT TREATED THEM WITH KINDNESS AND COMPASSION.

>> Reporter: AND GOVERMAN SAYS INTERFACE WILL CONTINUE DROP OFF AT THE AIRPORT AS LONG AS THE SITUATION CONTINUES.

>>> OCEANSIDE MUSEUM OF ART IS HOSTING A COLLECTION OF WORKS CREATED DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND WORLD WAR II.

KPBS ARTS REPORTER BETH -- TOOK A TOUR OF THE EXHIBIT.

>> Reporter: SOME THINGS NEED TO BE SEEN UP CLOSE AND IN PERSON LIKE PHILIP EVER GIRDS -- PHILIP EVERGOODS NEW -- >> IT IS ALWAYS VERY PHANTASMAGORIC.

WAY THESE CHARACTERS WHO ARE BASICALLY CAPITALISTS ARE BEING CAUGHT UP IN THE NEW DEATH OF THE ADAM BOMB AND THERE IS A KIND OF A SENSE OF A SPIDERY WORLD AND IN THAT SPIDERY WORLD IT'S NOT JUST THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PLOTTING THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD, BUT ALSO ALL OF HUMANITY YOU MIGHT SAY AS BEING CAUGHT UP.

>> Reporter: HE HAS A GOOD EYE FOR ART AS WELL IS A BARGAIN.

>> THIS IS ARE PART OF OUR COLLECTION OF WHAT WE USED TO CALL OUR COLLECTION OF DISCARDED ART.

>> Reporter: THE ART HE REFERENCES WAS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT SPONSORED WORK PROVINCE AND MINISTRATION OR WPA WHICH PROVIDED ARTIST WITH A WEEKLY STIPEND IN EXCHANGE FOR ART BUT IS ART FROM THOUSANDS OF ARTISTS PILED UP THE GOVERNOR -- THE GOVERNMENT THREW AWAY MOST OF IT.

>> IT'S A STORE THAT IS DESCRIBED IN LIFE MAGAZINE BY PHOTOGRAPHS OF A SECONDHAND DEALER FINDING PAINTINGS AND UNWINDING SOME OF THESE BALES AND HAVING THE ARTIST THEMSELVES COME BACK AND BUY FOR A COUPLE OF PENNIES THEIR OWN PAINTING.

AND SO THE EXHIBIT IS ESSENTIALLY A RESULT OF ABOUT 40 YEARS OF COLLECTING WORK THAT WAS BASICALLY BEING THROWN OUT BY A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES.

>> THE ART WAS THE SITUS -- DESCRIBED AS SOCIAL REALISM.

THIS ART WAS NOT ONLY DISCARDED, IT WAS ACTUALLY DENIGRATED AND THE MUSEUM ESTABLISHMENT COMP -- COOPERATED.

>> Reporter: MANY OF THESE PAINTINGS EMPHASIZE THE HUMAN FIGURE LIKE HARRY STERN BURGERS "COALMINER AND FAMILY."

HIS PAINTING DEPICTS THE HARSH LIFE OF PENNSYLVANIA MINORS.

>> HE DISCOVERED THAT THE MINERS WERE FORCED TO DIG BY THE OWNERS OF THE COMPANIES UNDERNEATH THEIR OWN HOUSES AND THE EFFECT OF THAT WAS THAT VERY OFTEN THE HOUSES WOULD LITERALLY IMPLODE.

>> ONE OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THIS COLLECTION IN THE SHOW WAS TO BRING BACK THE POLITICAL DIMENSION BUT TO ALSO SHOW THE ART OF THE PERIOD INCLUDED MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.

>> THAT HAS NO TEXTURE, OFFICIALLY NO TEXTURE BUT THE TEXTURE IS THERE IN THE SENSE THAT THE ROAD BECOMES THE TEXTURE.

>> SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE PAINTINGS IN WHICH THERE IS AN IMPLICIT CLINICAL MESSAGE AS OPPOSED TO EXPLICIT.

SOME OF THE VIEWERS HAVE SAID THIS IS CALIFORNIA NOIR.

>> WHEN YOU GO AROUND THIS EXPOSITION THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT TEXTURES FROM VERY THICK TEXTURES TO ALMOST NO TEXTURE AT ALL AND ARTISTS HAVE PURPOSES FOR THAT NO TEXTURE OR THICK TEXTURE AND THAT AGAIN RELATES TO THE WAY IN WHICH WE EXPERIENCE A PAINTING.

>> AND THE BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE A PAINTING IS ALWAYS BY SINGING THE AUTHENTIC OBJECT SAYS OCEANSIDE MUSEUM OF ART EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR MARIA BIGELOW.

>> YOU CAN EXPERIENCE THINGS IN PRINT OR DIGITAL BUT THERE IS NOTHING LIKE LITERARY BEING IN FRONT OF A PAINTING OR IN FRONT OF A WORK OF ART AND THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU HAVE IS INTANGIBLE.

BETH ACCOMANDO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> LET'S START YOU OFF WITH YOUR WEATHER HEADLINES.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?

THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT BECAUSE IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL THIS WEEKEND.

DRY AND WARM FOR THE WEEKEND AND THAT TREND WILL STICK AROUND OVER THESE NEXT FEW DAYS EVEN WELL INTO NEXT WEEK BUT FOR THE LAKE WEEK NEXT WEEK COOL DOWN ON THE WAY AS WE ARE DEALING WITH MORE TROUGHING AS AN ACTIVE WEATHER.

NOW AS WE TAKE A LOOK TONIGHT AROUND METRO WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO A LOW OF 64.

CLOUDS AND SPRINKLES ALONG THE COAST FROM OCEANSIDE DOWN TO SAN DIEGO AND EVEN CHULA VISTA.

NOW AS WE HAD FURTHER INLAND WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH LOW CLOUD COVER EVEN ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DESERTS AND WE ARE DROPPING DOWN TO 67 IN BORREGO SPRINGS BUT AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY IT WILL BE WARM AND DRY ACROSS A LINE OF THE SOUTHWEST.

WHERE DO TEMPERATURES GO?

WELL, THEY RISE TO THE MID-70s IN SAN DIEGO.

OCEANSIDE AS WE TRAVEL FURTHER INLAND.

BORREGO SPRINGS IS JUST IN THE 90'S ARE NOT DOING TOO BAD.

REIKO SPRINGS HITS A HIGH OF 94.

MOUNT LAGUNA COMES IN WITH A HIGH OF 63.

OVERALL AIR QUALITY RIGHT AROUND THE PALM SPRINGS AREA NOT NECESSARILY GREAT RIGHT NOW SO FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS THEY WILL WANT TO TAKE PRECAUTION.

IF YOU ARE IN THESE AREAS THESE WILL BE IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR FIVE DAY OUTLOOK.

TEMPERATURE STAYING STEADY AS THEY DO, MID-70s ALL WEEK AS WE HEAD INTO THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK WITH MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND AS WE HAD FURTHER INLAND TEMPERATURES RISE TO THE 80s BY SUNDAY THEN GET BACK DOWN TO THE UPPER 70s.

WE ARE STILL FLIRTING WITH 80s AT LEAST ON MONDAYS.

83, TUESDAY, 85, WEDNESDAY.

I I SAID, WE ARE NOT DEALING WITH TOO MUCH ACTION OVER THESE NEXT FEW DAYS BUT THAT COOLDOWN WILL COME AS WE HEAD INTO THE LATER HALF OF THE WEEK AND IF WE LOOK AT THE MOUNTAINS, YOU ARE IN THE CLEAR.

IT WILL BE COOL WITH HIGHS IN THE 60s AND FOR THE DESERTS WELL HIGHS REMAIN IN THE 90s UNTIL WE SEE A COOLDOWN AS WE HAD INTO LATE NEXT WEEK.

HE NOTICED THE LACK OF RECOGNITION WHEN IT COMES TO WOMEN'S SPORTS.
