SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - As the government shutdown approaches its third week, San Diego’s food stamp recipients are preparing for possible changes to their benefits. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps, helps feed roughly 40 million Americans. According to the USDA, eligible recipients are guaranteed benefits through January. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to make a statement this week on SNAP funding into February, according to San Diego Hunger Coalition spokesman Joseph Shumate, citing the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP).Any SNAP adjustments could also increase the burden on San Diego charities. Many Feeding San Diego beneficiaries also rely on SNAP to help their families, the organization said."For every one meal we do, the SNAP program does 12 meals," said Feeding San Diego CEO, Vince Hall. "That is a 12 to 1 ratio, so any cut to SNAP is going to have dramatic effects on charities already struggling to keep up with the demand, the unmet need for food across our communities."Hall says they are preparing for worst-case scenarios, like the shutdown continuing for weeks or months. According to CBPP, the USDA may rule that the only appropriation available for SNAP after January is the program’s billion “contingency reserve,” which was made available through the fiscal year 2018 appropriations act. But SNAP benefits currently amount to about .8 billion a month, so the billion reserve cannot fully fund February benefits.Other feeding programs, including WIC, which provides food aid and nutrition counseling for pregnant women, new mothers and children, and food distribution programs on Indian reservations, will continue on a local level, but additional federal funding won't be provided. School lunch programs will continue through February. The shutdown started Dec. 21. About 420,000 federal employees are working without pay, while 380,000 are being forced to stay home.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — City Councilman Scott Sherman's newly announced candidacy will alter the race to become San Diego's next mayor.Sherman, termed out from City Council, is the first household Republican to run to lead America's eighth largest city. Sherman announced he would run just before the Dec. 6 deadline to file for the March 2020 primary. Current Mayor Kevin Faulconer, a Republican, is termed out. In an interview, Sherman said he did not want the mayoral debates to be dominated by two big-name Democrats: State Assemblyman Todd Gloria and City Council President Pro-Tem Barbara Bry. RELATED: Poll: Gloria pulls early lead in San Diego mayoral race"I couldn't walk away from this thing without a fight and let one side of the story be told," Sherman said. Sherman says he'll run on a platform of reducing regulations to bring lower cost market-rate housing. He also wants to increase enforcement of crimes by the homeless, compelling them to seek help. Finally, he says he wants to reduce what he calls union control at City Hall. "Listening to the two major candidates there, I'm going, 'Well, things that I care about aren't being discussed so let's see what I can do,'" he said. The Mayor is officially a nonpartisan job, but Sherman is facing an uphill battle as a Republican. RELATED: San Diego's top Democratic mayoral candidates square off in debateThat's because in San Diego, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a two-to-one margin in voter registration. The Registrar of Voters reports as of Dec. 2, there were 324,883 Democrats to 162,979 Republicans. There were 238,221 decline to state voters. "You have to assume that Scott Sherman will get the majority, if not the vast majority of Republican votes, and pick up some independent votes," said political analyst John Dadian. "There's a very good chance that he will get in the runoff."The top two vote-getters, regardless of party affiliation, will move on to the November primary. In September, a 10News-Union-Tribune scientific poll showed Gloria leading Bry by a two-to-one margin, with 31 percent of voters supporting Gloria, and 15 percent supporting Bry. Another 46 percent were undecided and 8 percent supported Tasha Williamson. In separate statements Friday, Gloria and Bry both said they looked forward to debating the key issues with Sherman. 2335

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — As California deals with its worst energy crisis in two decades and the threat of more rolling blackouts, a lot of people are wondering who -- or what -- is to blame.Energy experts say last weekend’s blackouts are raising new questions about the way the state manages its electrical grid. California is the only state in the west that uses an independent system operator, an entity known as Cal ISO.“This is really just a demonstration that the reliability of the grid is less reliable with [Cal ISO] than when we just had regular utilities,” said San Diego-based energy consultant Bill Powers.Cal ISO manages 80 percent of California’s power grid. It manages the flow of electricity for investor-owned utilities like an air traffic controller manages the flow of privately owned airplanes down a runway. City-owned utilities like the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are not part of the Cal ISO system.Cal ISO, previously known as CAISO, was formed in 1998 after regulatory changes during the Clinton administration that were designed to make the energy market more competitive.Powers said the fundamental idea was simple: “instead of having these monopoly utilities controlling everything, let's open up the transmission systems.”But it didn’t take long for flaws in the system to emerge. In 2001, market manipulation from companies like Enron prompted dozens of rolling blackouts.In other states like Arizona, utilities are responsible for the electrical transmission within their service territory. Those utilities are able to rapidly respond if conditions prompt the need for additional power generation, Powers said.“[It’s] one-stop shopping. Here it’s two-stop shopping,” he said. “You've got another layer of fat in there. And if that layer of fat is playing the game a different way, simply making sure everyone is covered, then you have the potential to have a breakdown. And we're now experiencing a breakdown.”The most recent major breakdown was in 2011, when 1.4 million San Diegans suddenly found themselves in the dark.A federal investigation into the Great Blackout of 2011 cited “inadequate real-time situational awareness” -- basically bad grid management -- and faulted several entities, including Cal ISO.Edward Lopez, the executive director of the Utility Consumers’ Action Network, said last weekend’s rolling blackouts were another example of bad grid management.“This is an indication that, again, this statewide organization needs to be better prepared and ready to jump into action quicker,” he said.Cal ISO blames another state agency for the recent rolling blackouts, the California Public Utilities Commission, along with California’s evolving energy portfolio.About one-third of the energy California now generates in-state is from renewable sources like solar and wind. When clouds roll in and the winds subside, that can be a problem.“Lack of resources, the heat, those go into account,” Lopez said, “but on the other hand, this was not unpredictable.”Even though more Californians have been staying home due to the pandemic, last weekend’s conditions were not particularly remarkable, he said. With the impact of climate change, above normal temperatures are expected to become more common.One solution to California’s renewable energy problem, he said, is to invest in more energy storage.Cal ISO’s own data shows energy demand last weekend was lower than in previous peak years and there were reserves available, Powers said.“Why do we keep reserves if we’re not willing to use those reserves when conditions get tight?” Powers said.City-owned utilities like LADWP that are independent from Cal ISO did not experience rolling blackouts, one reason Powers thinks there’s a problem with California’s energy air traffic controller.“Maybe we need better rules. Maybe we need a different system,” he said. 3871

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — As Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine begins circulating, there is another big logistical challenge ahead: reminding people to get the second dose.Both vaccines developed by Pfizer and Moderna require two doses spaced several weeks apart. People who get immunized often feel fatigue or soreness shortly after the shot and may experience fever, particularly after the second dose, according to clinical trial data.Doctors say those immediate, short-term side effects are a positive sign the immune system is revving up production.The side effects are similar to that of the shingles vaccine. But studies show about 20 percent of the people who get the shingles vaccine skip the second dose.Experts say if that happens with the COVID vaccines, there could be consequences.The worst-case-scenario is that skipping the second shot could allow the virus to spread and mutate, and potentially build resistance to the vaccines, according to Penn State University biologist David Kennedy.That outcome is considered unlikely, but the World Health Organization announced Monday it detected a new variation of the virus in England, showing the virus is already mutating without the evolution pressure of a mass vaccine program.“Does this make the virus more serious? Does it allow the virus to transmit more easily? Does it interfere with diagnostics? Would it interfere with vaccine effectiveness? These are questions. None of these questions have been addressed yet,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, director of the WHO Health Emergencies Program.When administered in two doses, Pfizer’s vaccine is 95 percent effective at preventing COVID-19 symptoms. The FDA’s review showed the vaccine could be up to 52 percent effective after a single dose, but the data was limited.“I think you could probably say you’re going to have short-lived but incomplete protection,” said vaccine expert Dr. Paul Offit. “Protection from disease but possibly not asymptomatic shedding.”It remains unclear whether people who are fully immunized against the virus can still spread it to others asymptomatically but someone who is only partially immunized may be especially prone to silent spread, according to Offit.When Americans roll up their sleeves to get the COVID-19 vaccine, they’ll get a 4 by 6 inch index card from the CDC noting which brand they got, the lot number, and when they’re due for the second shot.People who get Pfizer’s vaccine need to get a second shot 21 days later. People who get Moderna’s need to wait 28 days for round two.The CDC is encouraging people to photograph their card with their cell phone as a backup, because beyond the index card, the logistics of reminding people about their second dose will vary by state and healthcare provider.In California’s draft vaccination plan from October, the state said it was exploring ways to "systematically text, email, and/or auto-call individuals when their second dose is needed." The California Department of Public Health did not immediately respond to a request for comment about its latest plans.Much of the work may fall to the healthcare providers who administer the shots. Although the vaccine will be free for individuals, the government is paying providers for every first dose they give and for every second dose, a way to incentivize providers to keep close tabs on patients.However, only about 25 percent of the nation’s vaccination providers have systems that can send automated reminders, according to L.J Tan, the chief strategy officer of the Immunization Action Coalition. 3552

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Days after claiming that "everyone is lying" about COVID-19, Chuck Woolery announced that his son has contracted the virus.The former game show host-turned-political activist made headlines earlier this week when President Donald Trump retweeted Woolery's claim to his 83 million followers."The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19. Everyone is lying," Woolery said in that tweet."The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most, that we are told to trust. I think it's all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I'm sick of it," his tweet said.The 79-year-old deactivated his Twitter account Wednesday after publishing a tweet saying, "Covid-19 is real and it is here.""My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones," Woolery said in a tweet on Monday morning. The tweet is viewable in web archives.A publicist told CNN that Woolery wanted a break from social media, so he deactivated his Twitter account."Chuck's son is fine and asymptomatic," Mark Young, with Jekyll and Hyde Advertising, told CNN.Woolery's account "is not gone. He is just taking a break from the abuse he has received from thousands of intolerant people who purposefully mislead people on his statement, including the media," Young said. 1382
