When South Lake Tahoe residents evacuated last week due to #CALDORFIRE, many pulled out their garbage bins. Except there was no garbage pick-up...and the bears have turned the city of 22,000 into a Sizzler buffet. @sfchronicle

These are photos from the South Lake Tahoe garbage company from just the last few days. Chonk bears & damage to fences and bear-proof bins. They’re finding holes in garages as bears smell rotting food

Since the #CaldorFire evacuation, bear break-ins have been reported at about 70 homes & vehicles, according to the South Lake Tahoe Police Department — compared to just a few per week normally. Officials have also seen coyotes & even porcupines feasting.

Few bears even made it to the South Tahoe Refuse transfer station where the garbage is taken (see video). Mostly local bears, but company owner says drivers seeing bears likely forced into town by #CALDORFIRE

Wow. Santa Clara County announces that autopsies find three people died from #COVID19 before March 9, originally thought to be first county death

One of those people died Feb. 6 long before
The first US death was previously reported in Washington in Feb. 29.

This news means #coronavirus was in the Bay Area well before anyone knew it
And Santa Clara County public health officials say those early #COVID19 deaths slipped through the cracks due to lack of tests & strict testing parameters

#EXCLUSIVE: VP Pence vowed that all Grand Princess cruise passengers would be tested for #COVID19 after arriving at Travis AFB. But 2/3 of 858 passengers there have declined to be tested & they say federal health officials are actually DISSUADING testing
sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
Spoke to passengers who declined testing & they say would have done it if available when 1st arrived. But there were not enough tests, not enough trained personnel & not enough protective gear...getting tested now, they say, could jeopardize release date
sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
White House said they offered #COVID19 testing to all passengers, but can’t force testing. Two law professors disagree. Say feds have legal power to compel testing based off Supreme Court ruling about forced vaccinations during smallpox outbreak in 1908

Welp, one of the big takeaways from #PGE new wildfire mitigation plan is: Many more people will likely be impacted by power shutdowns during dangerous fire weather conditions...and not just people in high threat areas mercurynews.com/2019/02/06/big… $PCG
Under last year's power shutdown policy, 570K customers could have been impacted by deenergization event; new plan would widen to 5.4M customers, about a third of #PGE entire system who could be impacted mercurynews.com/2019/02/06/big… $PCG
That increase in affected customers is because in past #PGE refused to shut down transmission lines 70,000 volts or higher because it would impact wider swaths of customers than area in fire danger; but now open to turn off anything up to 500,000-volt line mercurynews.com/2019/02/06/big…
