DOUBLE MURDER OF HIS MOTHER AND 
STEPFATHER, DEBORAH HUBBARD AND 
HARRY HUBBARD. 
THEIR BODIES WERE FOUND IN A

REVEALED MUCKLE POND SEVERAL 
ITEMS BELONGING TO THE

THEIR LEGAL TEAM IS NOTORIOUSLY 
PRETTY RIGID. 
AND FIGHTS BACK ON USER RIGHTS. 
>> Reporter: THE DA'S OFFICE IS

TIME KEITH SILVESTER SET 
INCARCERATED, ACCUSED OF A 
HORRIBLE CRIME. 
>> EVEN HIS FAMILY MEMBERS CAME 
OUT AND SAID THAT THEY 
LITERALLY LOOKED AT HIM AS A 
KILLER. 
>> Reporter: POLICE SAY MUCKLE 
IS NOT RELATED TO THE COUPLE.  
WHEN ARRESTED BACK IN 2018, HE 
SAID IT CAME AS A SHOCK, 
BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN COOPERATING 
WITH POLICE. 
>>> GEORGIA IS MAKING GAINS IN 
THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19, BUT 
THERE ARE A FEW AREAS SEEING 
BIG GAINS IN NEW CASES. 
HALL COUNTY IS ONE PLACE WE ARE 
CLOSELY WATCHING. 
THERE WAS A HOTSPOT THERE EARLY 
ON. 
AN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN BY 
PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS HELPED 
CONTAIN CASES. 
IN THE PAST WEEK WE HAVE BEEN 
WATCHING THE NUMBERS START TO 
GROW AGAIN. 
FIVE OUT OF THE PAST SEVEN 
DAYS, NEW CASES OF BEEN ABOVE 
AVERAGE. 
THE OTHER PLACES SEEING 
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS ATHENS. 
THE BOX SHOWS WHEN STUDENTS 
STARTED RETURNING TO CAMPUS FOR 
THE FALL SEMESTER. 
WE ARE NOT FAR FROM THE FLU 
SEASON AND THAT IS WHY DOCTORS 
ARE ASKING PEOPLE TO GET THE 
VACCINE IF THEY CAN. 
ONE DOCTOR SAYS IT IS CRUCIAL 
THIS YEAR, BECAUSE OF COVID-19 
AND ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR 
CHILDREN. 
11ALIVE'S CHENUE HER EXPLAINS 
WHY. 
>> Reporter: RIGHT NOW THE 
ATTENTION IS ON THE COVID-19 
PANDEMIC,  BUT WITH FALL JUST 
WEEKS AWAY, DOCTORS SAY THE 
COVID CRISIS COULD SHAKE UP FLU 
SEASON. 
DR. FREDA FISHER IS AN MD IN 
ATLANTA. 
>> HAVING COVID-19 ON THE FLU, 
THE RESULTS CAN BE CATASTROPHIC 
UNLESS PATIENTS GET THE FLU 
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS IT IS 
ALSO IMPORTANT TO GET CHILDREN 
THE FLU SHOT. 
SHE SAYS KIDS ARE NOT AT A 
LESSER RISK OF GETTING COVID-19 
COMPARED TO ADULTS AND HAVING 
BOTH ILLNESSES CAN BE 
DEVASTATING. 
LAST WEEK A 1-YEAR-OLD BABY AND 
COBB COUNTY DIED FROM COVID-19 
AND LAST MONTH, THE VIRUS 
KILLED A 7-YEAR-OLD. 
>> SYMPTOMS OF THE FLU CAN BE 
VERY SIMILAR TO SYMPTOMS OF 
COVID-19 AND WHAT YOU DON'T 
WANT IS FOR THINGS TO BE 
CONFUSED. 
THE BEST THING FOR PARENTS TO 
DO IS TO HELP US DECREASE THE 
AMOUNT OF FLU WE GET THIS 
SEASON. 
>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE 
CDC, FEVER, COUGH, SHORTNESS OF 
BREATH, AND RUNNY NOSE ARE JUST 
A FEW OF THE SYMPTOMS THAT ARE 
SIMILAR BETWEEN SEASONAL FLU 
AND COVID-19. 
CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE OF 
ATLANTA IS ENCOURAGING FAMILIES 
TO VACCINATE THEIR KIDS. 
THE SEASONAL FLU KILLED NEARLY 
200 CHILDREN DURING LAST YEAR'S 
FLU SEASON. 
THE CONVERSATION ISN'T JUST 
HAPPENING IN GEORGIA. 
LAST MONTH, THE GOVERNOR OF 
MASSACHUSETTS MANDATED THE FLU 
SHOT FOR ALL CHILDREN GOING 
BACK TO SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY, AND 
DAYCARE. 
BY CHOOSING TO GET THE FLU SHOT 
THIS YEAR, PEOPLE CAN PLAY A 
BIG PART IN POTENTIALLY NOT 
OVERWHELMING LOCAL HOSPITALS. 
>> IN THE MIDST OF THIS 
OVERWHELMING PANDEMIC, IT COULD 
ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELM HOSPITAL 
RESOURCES AND THAT COULD BE 
FRIGHTENING. 
>>> UGA PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS 
ARE CALLING FOR THE UNIVERSITY 
TO GO FULLY VIRTUAL AFTER A 
SURGE IN CASES. 
WE ARE LOOKING INTO THE 
CONCERNS. 
>> WE HAVE AN UPCOMING LABOR 
DAY HOLIDAY THAT IS THE OPTIMAL 
TIME TO UNDERTAKE THE DIFFICULT 
PIVOT TO ONLINE EDUCATION. 
>> Reporter: UGA PROFESSOR DR. 
DAVID BRADFORD BELIEVES CAMPUS 
SHOULD CLOSE NOW. 
>> WE ARE STUMBLING THROUGH 
THIS BLINDLY BECAUSE WE DON'T 
HAVE ADEQUATE TESTING AND WE 
DON'T HAVE DAILY REPORTING. 
>> Reporter: HE TEAMED UP WITH 
OTHER PUBLIC HEALTH 
PROFESSIONALS TO CALL ON THE 
AGENCY TO MAKE A CHANGE. 
AFTER NEW CASES REPORTED OVER 
THE PAST WEEK, NEARLY ALL OF 
THEM STUDENTS. 
HE THINKS THE CASES ARE LIKELY 
HIGHER, BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY 
IS ONLY REPORTING NUMBERS ONCE 
A WEEK. 
>> IT IS OLD DATA AT THIS POINT.
OUR STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND 
STAFF ACTUALLY HAVE TO SUFFER 
FOR IT. 
THE DATA ARE INCOMPLETE IF 
SOMEONE GOES AND HAS A TEST OFF 
CAMPUS AND THEN DOESN'T REPORT 
IT. 
>> ON MONDAY THEY WERE OUT OF 
SLOTS FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK, SO 
AGAIN, OUR CAPACITY TO TEST IS 
INADEQUATE. 
>> Reporter: BUT A SPOKESPERSON 
TOLD 11ALIVE THAT EVERY STUDENT 
OR STAFF MEMBER  WHO WANTS TO 
BE TESTED FOR THE VIRUS WILL BE 
ABLE TO. 
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THEY TEST 
POSITIVE? 
DR. BRADFORD SAYS ONE STUDENT 
WAS SENT HOME AFTER TESTING 
POSITIVE. 
>> WE WERE NEVER INFORMED HOW 
MUCH CAPACITY WE HAVE FOR THIS. 
>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO A UGA 
ARTICLE, THERE ARE 99 ROOMS ON 
CAMPUS DESIGNATED FOR COVID 
POSITIVE STUDENTS AND 195 ROOMS 
AVAILABLE AT THE GEORGIA CENTER 
HOTEL. 
THE UNIVERSITY DOES ENCOURAGE 
STUDENTS WHO TEST POSITIVE TO 
IMMEDIATELY LEAVE CAMPUS AND 
RETURN HOME, BUT WILL PROVIDE 
HOUSING IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO. 
THE DEAN OF UGA TWEETING HER 
CONCERN AND URGING STUDENTS TO

GWINNETT PUBLISHED DETAILS ON 
SAFETY MEASURES INCLUDING MASK 
REQUIREMENTS, ONE-WAY HALLWAYS, 
AND STEPS TO SOCIALLY DISTANCE 
STUDENTS. 
WE SPOKE WITH A PARENT LAST WEEK
WHO SAID THE DISTRICT'S PLANS 
HELP SETTLE HER NERVES. 
>> I DON'T THINK, PERSONALLY, 
THAT EDUCATION AT HOME WAS AS 
GOOD AS WHAT HE WOULD GET IN 
SCHOOL. 
THERE IS ALWAYS SOME 
APPREHENSION, BECAUSE YOU WANT 
TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE AND DO 
WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM. 
>> DISTRICT LEADERS SAY THEY 
PLAN TO HAVE ALL GRADES BACK TO 
THE CLASSROOM BY SEPTEMBER 9.

IS LAID TO REST TODAY. 
WILLIAM HARBOUR WAS ONE OF THE 
ORIGINAL FREEDOM RIDERS. 
A SERVICE  WAS HELD TODAY IN 
ATLANTA. 
HE JOINED THE MOVEMENT AT THE 
UNIVERSITY. 
ACCORDING TO STANFORD 
UNIVERSITY, HE WAS ARRESTED 
DURING ONE FREEDOM RIDE AND WAS 
ALONGSIDE TWO ICONS ALSO DIED 
THIS YEAR. 
HARBOUR WAS EXPELLED FROM  THE 
UNIVERSITY IN 1961 BECAUSE OF 
HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH THE 
FREEDOM RIDERS, BUT THE SCHOOL 
LATER AWARDED HIM AN HONORARY 
DOCTORATE. 
HE WAS 78 YEARS OLD. 
>>> STILL TO COME, SOME HIGH 
SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS HIT THE

OFF WITH THE CLASSIC AS 
CHEROKEE HIGH HOSTS HARBOR

THIS SEASON WILL BE UNLIKE ANY 
OTHER FOR PLAYERS AND FANS, ALL 
DUE TO COVID-19. 
JOE HENKE WALKS US THROUGH WHAT 
FANS AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN 
EXPECT.  
>> Reporter: HIGHLIGHTS FROM 
PAST CLASSIC SHOW FOOTBALL IN A 
DIFFERENT TIME. 
THIS YEAR FROM THE SIDELINES TO 
THE STANDS, THE GAMES WILL BE 
UNIQUE. 
>> WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT IT. 
YOU KNOW, WE DID NOT WANT TO 
CANCEL. 
WE WANTED TO BE WHAT WE USUALLY 
ARE AND THAT IS THE BEGINNING 
OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON. 
>> Reporter: ROSENBERG SAYS 
THIS YEAR'S GAMES WILL BE 
HOSTED AT NINE DIFFERENT HIGH 
SCHOOLS. 
ONE GAME ALREADY REPLACED DUE 
TO COVID-19. 
GWINNETT COUNTY SCHOOLS 
CONFIRMED A PLAYER TESTED 
POSITIVE IN 20 OTHER PLAYERS 
NEEDED TO QUARANTINE AS A 
PRECAUTION. 
>> WE HAVE A LOT OF RESPECT. 
ALL OF THESE TEAMS ARE SELF 
REPORTING, DOING THE RIGHT 
THING, AND I THINK THAT IS THE 
ONLY WAY WE WILL MAKE THE 
FOOTBALL SEASON. 
>> Reporter: FOR FANS, MASKS 
WILL BE REQUIRED. 
TEMPERATURES WILL BE CHECKED 
AND SESSIONS WILL ONLY HAVE 
FIELD PRODUCTS, WITH NO ON-SITE 
COOKING ALLOWED. 
ONLY A PERCENTAGE OF THE STANDS 
WILL BE FILLED WITH ATTENDANCE 
CAPS. 
PLAYERS AND JUST COACHES WILL 
ALSO NEED TO ADJUST. 
>> PLAYERS WILL BE LINED UP ON 
LITTLE DOTS, UP AND DOWN THE 
SIDELINE, FOR SOCIAL DISTANCING.
>> Reporter: ROSENBERG SAYS 
THEY ALMOST CANCELED THIS 
YEAR'S CLASSIC, BUT BELIEVES 
THEY CAN SET THE STANDARD FOR 
THE SEASON. 
>> WE NEED TO DO THIS RIGHT AND 
IF WE CAN I THINK GEORGIA CAN 
GET OFF TO A GOOD START AND WHO 
KNOWS, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET 
AN ENTIRE SEASON IN. 
>> ROSENBERG SAYS THEY HAD 
COUNTLESS CONVERSATIONS WITH 
DOCTORS FROM THE GEORGIA HIGH 
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION. 
TICKETS FOR TONIGHT'S GAME AT 
CHEROKEE HIGH SCHOOL WERE SOLD 
OUT, WITH TICKETS CAPPED AT 25% 
OF STADIUM CAPACITY. 
>>> WELL, THE SUN HAS GONE 
DOWN. 
SUNSET AT 8:01 TONIGHT. 
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET, I 
WANTED TO CAPTURE IT BEFORE IT 
WENT AWAY. 
A FEW LOW CLOUDS OVER THE 
HORIZON. 
THOSE ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A 
FRONT THAT IS MANY MILES AWAY. 
BASICALLY A CLOUD FREE NIGHT IN 
THE ATLANTA AREA. 
OFTEN THE DISTANCE YOU CAN SEE 
SOME CLOUD TOPS. 
BUT IN ATLANTA IT IS LOOKING 
FANTASTIC AND IT IS A 
BEAUTIFUL, BUT BONY NIGHT OUT 
THERE. 
STILL PRETTY WARM FOR THIS TIME 
OF NIGHT. 
LOOKING AT A HOT PATTERN WITH 
MOST OF THE STORMS RIDING UP 
AND OVER A RIDGE OF HIGH 
PRESSURE. 
THE RIDGE IS CENTERED TO THE 
SOUTH AND THAT IS WHAT IS 
KEEPING IT HIGH AND DRY. 
IT CAUSES THE AIR TO SINK AND 
CAUSES THE AIR TO WARM THROUGH 
THAT COMPRESSION. 
THAT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE 
ARE SO WARM RIGHT NOW. 
IT WILL CONTINUE FOR A COUPLE 
OF DAYS, TOO. 
JUST GETTING WARMER FROM HERE 
ON OUT. 
89 WAS THE HIGH, 70 FOR THE 
LOW. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 86 AND 69 
THIS TIME OF YEAR, SO A FEW 
DEGREES ABOVE. 
RIGHT NOW, 85 IN ATHENS AND 86 
IN EATONTON. 
ONE OF THE HOTSPOTS TODAY. 
93 IS HOW IT FEELS IN EATONTON. 
MORE HUMID IN THE SOUTHEAST 
QUADRANT OF THE STATE, SO AS 
YOU GET CLOSER IT FEELS A 
LITTLE WARMER. 
91 IN ATHENS AND ROME AND IT 
FEELS LIKE 87 IN ATLANTA RIGHT 
NOW. 
WE ARE TRACKING SOME ACTION IN 
THE TROPICS. 
WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING WHAT IS 
LEFT OF TROPICAL STORM OMAR. 
IT IS A TROPICAL STORM NOMAR NO 
MORE. 
WE CAN SAY GOOD RIDDANCE TO 
OMAR. 
ALSO WE DO HAVE NANA MOVING 
TOWARD BELIZE. 
WE WILL HAVE MORE ON NANA 
COMING UP, AS WELL AS OTHER 
SYSTEMS  THAT ARE BREWING OUT 
THERE, BUT IT WILL BRING STRONG 
TROPICAL STORM AND WEAK 
HURRICANE CONDITIONS TO THE 
COAST. 
IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED TO 
STRENGTHEN ANYMORE, BUT IT WILL 
BRING A LOT OF RAIN AND GUSTY 
WIND. 
HERE, ALL IS CALM. 
TEMPERATURES OVERNIGHT IN THE 
LOW 70s AND ON YOUR THURSDAY ON 
THE SCALE OF 1 TO 11 WITH 11 IS 
A PERFECT DAY, A 9. PLENTY OF 
SUNSHINE. 
A HOT ONE OUT THERE WITH 
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW 90s. 
THE FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURES 
SHOULD BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 
90s, SO IT IS GOING TO BE 
INCREDIBLY HOT AS WE HEAD INTO 
THE NEXT FEW DAYS. 
STAYING DRY, STAYING HOT, AND 
WE WATCH THE HEAT INDEX AS IT 
CONTINUES TO RISE IN THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS. 
BY THE WAY, DON'T FORGET YOUR 
HAT, YOUR SUNGLASSES, YOUR 
SUNSCREEN. 
EVERYBODY NO MATTER WHAT YOUR 
AGE OR SKIN TONE CAN GET BURNED 
WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF BEING OUT 
IN THE SUN, SO YOU NEED TO 
PROTECT YOURSELF AND STAY WELL 
HYDRATED IN THIS HEATWAVE WE 
WILL BE SEEING. 
SO, 73 WILL BE THE LOW. 
EARLY IN THE MORNING. 
WE SHOULD GET TO THE UPPER 80s 
BY LUNCHTIME AND THEN BY 
DINNERTIME WE WILL BE AROUND 
THE LOW 90s AND THE HEAT INDEX, 
PROBABLY AROUND THE MID-90s. 
SO A HOT ONE TOMORROW, A HOT 
ONE ON FRIDAY, AND OVER THE 
COURSE OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND, 
TEMPERATURES TRENDED DOWNWARD. 
RAIN CHANCES TREND UPWARD A 
LITTLE BIT. 
NOT A WASHOUT, BUT WE COULD 
EXPECT A FEW SHOWERS AS WE HEAD 
THROUGH THE MUCH-ANTICIPATED 
THREE-DAY WEEKEND. 
>>> A CONTROVERSIAL STRATEGY TO 
FIGHT COVID-19 IS BACK IN THE 
SPOTLIGHT. 
IT IS CALLED HERD IMMUNITY AND 
IT IS WHEN A LARGE PORTION OF A 
COMMUNITY BECOMES IMMUNE TO A 
DISEASE, MAKING THE SPREAD FROM 
PERSON-TO-PERSON UNLIKELY. 
AS A RESULT, THE WHOLE 
COMMUNITY BECOMES PROTECTED. 
THIS WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER THAN 
MOST PEOPLE THINK AND IS NOT A 
GUARANTEE. 
>> Reporter: MORE THAN 6 
MILLION PEOPLE IN THE U.S. HAVE 
CONTRACTED COVID, ABOUT 1.5% OF 
THE POPULATION. 
>> 10 TIMES THAT AND IT WOULD 
NOT BE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO BE 
INFECTED TO GET THAT KIND OF 
IMMUNITY THAT WOULD STOP 
TRANSMISSION. 
>> Reporter: A GLOBAL MEDICAL 
EXPERT BASED IN THE UK EXPLAINS 
HERD IMMUNITY COULD BE OBTAINED 
IN THE U.S., WITH A MASSIVE 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
>> THAT IS GOING TO BE AROUND 
ABOUT 60%. 
>> Reporter: THAT IS AT LEAST 
170 MILLION PEOPLE. 
THE IDEA ISN'T NEW, BUT 
RECENTLY THE WASHINGTON POST 
REPORTED SCOTT ATLAS, A TOP 
WHITE HOUSE MEDICAL ADVISOR, IS 
PUSHING THE ADMINISTRATION TO 
ADOPT HERD IMMUNITY. 
ATLAS LATER TOLD THE PAPER HE 
NEVER SUGGESTED IT, BUT HAS 
THROWN HIS SUPPORT BEHIND 
OPENING SCHOOLS TO IN PERSON 
LEARNING AND ALLOWING COLLEGE 
ATHLETES TO PLAY. 
IF THE U.S. WERE TO ATTEMPT 
HERD IMMUNITY, THE DOCTOR 
ESTIMATES THAT WOULD TAKE UNTIL 
THE END OF 2021 TO ACHIEVE, AND 
SINCE IT WOULD TAKE A LONG 
TIME, THE MOST LIKELY WAYS 
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC WOULD BE 
SOCIAL DISTANCING, MASK 
WEARING, AND A VACCINE. 
>> THE ONLY THING THAT WILL 
STOP THE VIRUSES IF YOU CAN 
STOP PASSING IT FROM ONE PERSON 
TO ANOTHER. 
>> HERD IMMUNITY MAY NOT BE A 
GUARANTEE, BECAUSE WE DON'T 
KNOW IF SOMEONE CAN CONTRACT 
THE VIRUS TWICE OR IF THE VIRUS 
WILL MUTATE. 
OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES 
TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERD IMMUNITY 
WOULD OVERWHELM HOSPITALS. 
>>> A MAN IN SAN ANTONIO
>>> THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN 
SAN ANTONIO HAS DISMISSED ALL 
CHARGES AGAINST THE BLACK 
JOGGER WHO WAS STOPPED AND 
LATER DETAINED BY POLICE, EVEN 
THOUGH HE WASN'T THE SUSPECT 
THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. 
HIS ARREST AND BODY CAM VIDEO 
IS RENEWING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT 
POLICE PROFILING. 
WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT 
TODAY ON A LIVE AT 5:00. 
>> TWO OFFICERS WERE DISPATCHED 
AFTER A WOMAN REPORTED HER EX-
HUSBAND STRANGLED HER. 
IN THE CALL YOU HEAR THE WOMAN 
DESCRIBED HIM AS A BLACK MAN IN 
A GREEN SHIRT. 
WHEN OFFICERS ASKED IF HE HAD A 
BEARD, SHE SAID, KINDA. 
THIS LED TO OFFICERS STOPPING 
MATHIAS OMETU.  
THEY ASKED SEVERAL TIMES FOR 
HIS NAME, BUT HE REFUSED TO 
TELL THEM. 
THEY MADE ATTEMPTS TO ASK THE 
VICTIM MORE QUESTIONS. 
AT ONE POINT THEY ASKED TO 
BRING THE VICTIM TO THE SCENE 
TO IDENTIFY HIM, BUT SHE SAYS 
SHE CAN'T. 
THAT IS WHEN OFFICERS YOU SEE 
HERE DECIDED TO HANDCUFF 
MATHIAS OMETU AND PUT THEM IN 
THE CAR.  
THE BUDDY CAMERA VIDEO OF THE 
RIGHT DOESN'T GIVE A CLEAR 
PICTURE OF ALL THAT HAPPENS. 
OFFICERS REPORTED BEING KICKED 
AND YOU CAN ALSO HEAR MATHIAS 
OMETU ASKING IF HE IS BEING 
CHOKED.  
WHAT WAS CLEAR IS THAT MATHIAS 
OMETU WAS NOT THE MAN  THEY 
WERE LOOKING FOR. 
PEOPLE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO 
IDENTIFY THEMSELVES TO THE 
POLICE DURING AN ENCOUNTER LIKE 
THIS, BUT THE D.A. 
SAYS OFFICERS CAN DETAIN 
SOMEONE UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO 
IDENTIFY THEM. 
TODAY WE HEARD FROM OMETU ON 
HOW THIS AFFECTED HIM. 
>> I WAS YANKED BY MY NECK. 
MY LEGS WERE TWISTED AND 
CONTORTED.  
I FELT EACH FINGER OF THE 
OFFICER, PRESSED INTO MY 
THROAT. 
I WAS STRIPPED NAKED. 
I WAS EXPOSED. 
I WAS EXPOSED. 
AND I FELT -- I FELT VIOLATED. 
>> HE WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AS HE 
WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS 
EXPERIENCE, SAYING THAT HE 
FEELS BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK 
MAN, HE WAS TREATED 
DIFFERENTLY. 
HE WAS ROUGHED UP AND VIOLATED 
IN THAT WAY. 
FEELING LIKE HE WAS TREATED 
LIKE HE WAS GUILTY UNTIL HE WAS 
PROVEN INNOCENT, INSTEAD OF 
BEING INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN 
GUILTY. 
HE WAS JOGGING, SO I THOUGHT 
IMMEDIATELY OF THE CASE OF 
AHMAUD ARBERY, WHO WAS SHOT AND 
KILLED WHILE OUT ON A JOG IN 
THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND A 
FATHER AND SON SAID THAT THEY 
THOUGHT HE JUST LOOKED 
SUSPICIOUS. 
JENNIFER. 
>> I THINK THAT BROUGHT IT BACK 
TO MIND FOR MANY PEOPLE. 
I WAS THINKING WHAT MYRON SAID. 
A BLACK GUY IN A GREEN SHIRT IS 
LIKE SAYING A SUSPECT WAS A 
WHITE GUY IN KHAKI SHORTS. 
YOU KIND OF NEED MORE 
INFORMATION BEFORE YOU DETAIN 
SOMEONE AND TAKE THEIR RIGHTS 
AWAY. 
>> EVEN IN JOURNALISM, WE 
COULDN'T GO ON TV WITH THE 
DESCRIPTION THAT VAGUE. 
WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE, BECAUSE 
IT IS SO GENERAL. 
KIM SAYS WITH ALL THE MONEY 
POLICE HAVE AT THEIR DISPOSAL, 
THEY DON'T HAVE A PHONE THAT 
CAN TAKE A QUICK PICTURE? 
AND ANDY SAYS, I TELL YOU, 
UNTIL SOME OF THESE PEOPLE 
TALKING ABOUT PROTESTERS PUT ON 
BLACK SKIN, I DON'T THINK THEY 
WILL EVER UNDERSTAND. 
I WAS THINKING OF A WNBA PLAYER 
WHO TOLD ME WHAT SHE HOPES IS 
THAT EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND 
THIS ONE POINT. 
THAT UNTIL EVERYBODY'S HUSBAND, 
CHILDREN, LOVED ONES, ARE 
TREATED THE SAME IN THE EXACT 
SAME SCENARIO, NO MATTER WHAT 
COLOR THE SKIN IS, WE HAVE A 
PROBLEM WE HAVE TO FACE AND 
THAT IS WHAT OMETU IS SAYING, 
THAT HE FEELS LIKE THERE IS 
BRUTALITY AND PROFILING AT 
PLAY.  
>> I DON'T CARE HOW YOU SLICE 
IT, HERE IS THE FACT OF THE 
MATTER. 
THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF 
THE DESCRIPTION WERE DIFFERENT 
AND THAT IS THE REALITY THAT SO 
MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET 
UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE ABLE TO 
ACCEPT. 
I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS AND I 
HAVE TWO OLDER BROTHERS. THAT 
COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN MY 
BROTHER. 
THEY KIND OF HAVE A BEARD. 
WHAT IS A KIND OF BEARD, RIGHT? 
JUST TO JENNIFER'S POINT, IT IS 
SO GENERALIZED AND SO VAGUE AND 
YOU COULD DO A LINEUP OF 10 
BLACK MEN WALKING DOWN THE 
STREET RIGHT NOW AND THEY MAY 
KIND OF HAVE A BEARD OR HAVE ON 
A GREEN SHIRT. 
IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH 
INFORMATION. 
IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE 
HOW THIS ALL PLAYS OUT, GIVEN 
THE WAY THAT HE SAYS HE WAS 
TREATED, AFTER THE ARREST.

FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. 
A MAJOR ISSUE FOR MANY IS RENT. 
A SWEEPING NEW MEASURE FROM THE 
CDC IS DESIGNED TO HELP KEEP 
PEOPLE FROM LOSING THEIR HOMES. 
>> Reporter: THE CDC WILL BAN 
MOST OF ACTIONS THROUGH THE END 
OF THE YEAR. 
THIS IS ALL PART OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER. 
THE ORDER SAYS THE CDC WILL USE 
ITS POWER UNDER FEDERAL LAW TO 
PREVENT ANY LANDLORD WHO HAS A 
LEGAL RIGHT TO EVICT A TENANT 
FROM DOING SO TO HELP PREVENT 
THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. 
IT ALSO PROVIDES ASSISTANCE TO 
PROPERTY OWNERS AND TENANTS, 
BUT YOU HAVE TO MEET FOUR 
CRITERIA. 
FIRST, YOU MUST HAVE AN INCOME 
OF $198,000 OR LESS FOR COUPLES 
FILING JOINTLY OR $99,000 FOR 
SINGLE FILERS. 
YOU MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE YOU 
HAVE SOUGHT GOVERNMENT 
ASSISTANCE TO MAKE RENTAL

A TOTALLY QUIET DAY ACROSS 
NORTH GEORGIA AND IN THE NORTH 
GEORGIA MOUNTAINS, ONE OF OUR 
STORM TRACKERS GETTING THIS 
INCREDIBLE PICTURE OF THIS 
CLOUD. 
JUST A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO SPEND 
IN THE NORTH GEORGIA MOUNTAINS. 
NOON AND LOOKING PRETTY GOOD, 
TOO. 
THIS IS THE HISTORIC COURTHOUSE 
IN NEWNAN AND YOU CAN SEE A 
REALLY PLEASANT EVENING THERE. 
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE THINKING, 
IN TERMS OF WHAT IS HAPPENING 
TONIGHT. 
VERY QUIET AND MILD. 
STILL STICKY OUT THERE WITH 
THIS AIR MASS IN PLACE. 
ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS TRYING 
TO WORK THEIR WAY IN HERE WILL 
NOT BE WORKING THEIR WAY AND 
ASKED THIS HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEM 
WILL STOP EVERYTHING. 
AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE 
TROPICS, WE DO HAVE A COUPLE OF 
THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. 
OMAR WAS A TROPICAL STORM. 
NOW IT IS A DEPRESSION, HEADING 
INTO OPEN WATERS. 
AND IN THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN, 
APPROACHING BELIZE, MOVING 
THROUGH THE HONDURAN ISLANDS ON 
THE NORTH SIDE OF HONDURAS. 
EXPECTED TO BRING VERY STRONG 
TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS TO 
BELIZE TONIGHT. 
60 MILE-PER-HOUR WIND, MOVING 
QUICKLY WEST OF 15 MILES PER 
HOUR. 
PRODUCING A LOT OF RAIN AS IT 
MOVES IN. 
STILL A HURRICANE WARNING IN 
PLACE FROM BELIZE CITY SOUTH TO 
THE BORDER. 
LOTS OF HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED TO 
MOVE IN AND MOST LIKELY FLASH 
FLOODING. 
THE STORM ITSELF WILL WEAKEN 
RAPIDLY AS IT MOVES OVER THE 
HIGHER TERRAIN. 
AS IT MOVES WESTWARD. 
THERE IS OMAR. 
IT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME A LOW 
AS EARLY AS TOMORROW. 
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION NOW. 
THERE IS BERMUDA, SO IT IS 
NORTH OF BERMUDA AND OVER THE 
WATERS. 
NO THREAT TO ANY LANDMASS, SO 
THAT IS A GOOD THING, TOO. 
WATCHING A FEW OTHER THINGS. 
ONE SYSTEM IN THE CENTRAL 
ATLANTIC, MOVING WEST. 
IT HAS A 30% CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPMENT AND A TROPICAL WAVE 
WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING OFF THE 
COAST OF AFRICA HAS A 60% 
CHANCE TO DEVELOP IN THE NEXT 
FIVE DAYS. 
OVER THE COURSE OF THE LABOR 
DAY WEEKEND WE WILL BE WATCHING 
FOR ANY DEVELOPMENT WITH THAT 
SYSTEM, AS WELL. 
WE HAVE GONE THROUGH SO MANY 
NAMES THIS YEAR. 
WE HAVE SIX NAMES LEFT ON THE 
LIST. 
THAT MEANS WE WILL PROBABLY GET 
INTO THE GREEK ALPHABET BEFORE 
ALL IS SAID AND DONE. 
THE TROPICAL PEAK IS STILL 
ABOUT A WEEK AWAY AND YET WE 
ARE ALREADY SO ACTIVE. 
THAT IS ONE INDICATOR OF WHAT 
AN ACTIVE SEASON IT HAS BEEN. 
THE PEAK IS SEPTEMBER 10. 
TEMPERATURES TOMORROW START IN 
THE LOW 70s, GETTING TO THE 
UPPER 80s BY LUNCHTIME. 
IN THE AFTERNOON WE SHOULD BE 
IN THE LOW 90s, BUT IT WILL 
FEEL MORE LIKE THE MID TO UPPER 
90s DURING THE DAY TOMORROW. 
DEFINITELY STAY WELL HYDRATED. 
FLIP FLOPS, SHORTS, T-SHIRTS, 
THE WAY TO GO TOMORROW. 
93 DEGREES THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
DAYS FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE. 
FOR THE WEEKEND TEMPERATURES 
COME DOWN AND CHANCES OF RAIN 
GOES UP. 
DURING THE THREE-DAY WEEKEND WE 
WILL WATCH FOR THAT CHANCE, A 
30% CHANCE, OF THOSE HEAT OF 
THE DAY STORMS.

JOINS US WITH THE LATEST. 
>> Reporter: IT WAS KIND OF A 
BOLT OF LIGHTNING OUT OF ATHENS 
TODAY AS TRANSFER QUARTERBACK 
JAMIE NEWMAN ANNOUNCED HE WILL 
OPT OUT OF THE 2020 SEASON.  
IT WAS QUITE THE SURPRISE. 
HE WAS IN THE SCRIMMAGE PAST 
SATURDAY. 
A LOT OF REST WITH THE NUMBER 
ONE TEAM. 
A LOT OF SPECULATION THAT IT IS 
BASED ON THE FACT THAT HE WAS 
BEING EDGED OUT AND NOTHING 
COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE 
TRUTH. 
HE WAS THE ODDS-ON FAVORITE TO 
WIN THE STARTING SPOT. 
DANIELS, THE ALL-STAR 
QUARTERBACK, IS NOT CLEARED FOR 
CONTACT YET. 
IT IS NOT A SITUATION WHERE IT 
WAS A DEPTH CHART ISSUE. 
IT WAS, TO USE HIS WORDS, 
UNCERTAINTIES AMID THE 
PANDEMIC.

ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE SAYS 
TEXTBOOK PRICES INCREASED 82% 
OVER 10 YEARS. 
LET'S LOOK AT WHY THEY HAVE 
GOTTEN SO EXPENSIVE. 
ONE ISSUE IS THAT THREE 
PUBLISHERS CONTROL ROUGHLY 80% 
OF THE MARKET. 
>> THERE IS A LACK OF 
COMPETITION. 
WITHOUT COMPETITION YOU CAN 
EXPECT DRAMATIC INCREASES IN 
COST. 
>> Reporter: THE DIGITAL AGE 
MEANS MANY PROFESSORS OFFER 
MATERIALS ONLINE. 
IN SOME CASES, STUDENTS HAVE TO 
PURCHASE ACCESS CODES TO SEE 
THE TEXTBOOK AND HOMEWORK 
ASSIGNMENTS. 
CODES ARE SINGLE-USE, SO YOU 
CAN'T BUY THEM USED, SELL THEM 
BACK TO THE BOOKSTORE, OR SHARE 
THEM WITH A CLASSMATE. 
>> THE AVERAGE ACCESS CODE IS 
$400. 
YOU CAN'T KEEP THAT OR SELL IT 
TO PEOPLE, SO I GETS FLUSHED 
DOWN THE DRAIN. 
>> Reporter: MANY PROFESSORS 
OFFER OPEN BOOKS. 
GROUPS USE PRIVATE FUNDING TO 
PAY AUTHORS AND EDITORS AND 
THEN MAKE THE BOOKS FREE TO

WITH PUBLISHERS WHO MIGHT BE 
CHARGING $200 OR $300 FOR A

HEALTH EXPERTS. 
IT IS NOT A GREEN LIGHT TO GO 
BACK TO YOUR OLD LIFE. 
ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE PEOPLE 
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE THREE-DAY
HOLIDAY WEEKEND.

WITH HOLIDAY WEEKENDS, THERE IS

IT IS MORE THAN THREE TIMES 
HIGHER. 
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE 
NOT DOING THIS ROLLER COASTER 
REPEATEDLY, OVER AND OVER 
AGAIN, WHERE THINGS ARE UP AND 
DOWN. 
>> Reporter: SHE HAS BEEN 
WRITING ABOUT COVID WAVES FOR 
MONTHS NOW. 
AS A PROFESSOR OF INFECTIOUS 
DISEASE, SHE STARTED A BLOG FOR 
FAMILY AND FRIENDS. 
>> NOW IT HAS BECOME THIS WHOLE 
ANIMAL THAT IS BEYOND MY 
CONTROL. 
>> Reporter: HER BLOG TODAY 
SAYS BEWARE. 
GIVEN THE INCUBATION PERIOD AND 
DELAYS IN TESTING, CASES OFTEN 
DON'T GET REPORTED UNTIL TWO 
WEEKS AFTER INFECTION. 
YOU CAN USE THAT TIMELINE TO 
TRACK BACK TO THE START OF THE 
SUMMER SURGE AND SHE SAYS YOU 
WILL END ON MEMORIAL DAY. 
>> PEOPLE STARTED TO COME OUT 
OF THEIR SHELL, SO TO SPEAK, 
AND THINK LIFE WAS OKAY AGAIN 
AND YOU COULD GO BACK TO NORMAL.
>> Reporter: THE RESULT WAS 
227,000 NEW COVID CASES AND 
3700 DEATHS. 
>> IT SEEMS THAT THE AREAS WERE 
HOTTEST INITIALLY WERE ALONG 
THE GEORGIA BORDER. 
THE GEORGIA COAST. 
A LOT OF THEM ARE NOTED FOR 
HAVING TOURISM OR HOSPITALITY 
INDUSTRY THERE. 
>> Reporter: THAT MEANS LOCALS 
GOT SICK AND VISITORS TOOK THE 
VIRUS HOME, SPIKING WIDESPREAD 
COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION. 
SHE SAYS PARENTS WHO WANT 
CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM THIS 
FALL OR ADULTS WHO ARE TRYING 
TO SEE THEIR LOVED ONES IN LONG-
TERM CARE FACILITIES, THIS 
WEEKEND COULD MAKE THE 
DIFFERENCE. 
>> THE VIRUS CAN GET TO THE 
NEXT PERSON WITHOUT OUR HELP. 
AS TO HAVE A HUMAN TAKE IT TO 
ITS NEXT HOST. 
SO ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO LIMIT 
YOUR TRANSMISSION TO OTHERS 
WILL INTERRUPT THE CHAIN OF 
INFECTIONS. 
>>> WE ARE NOT THAT FAR AWAY 
FROM FLU SEASON AND THIS YEAR 
IT IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT THAT 
YOU GET THE FLU SHOT, BECAUSE 
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A

11ALIVE'S  CHENUE HER EXPLAINS 
WHY. 
>> Reporter: RIGHT NOW THE 
ATTENTION  IS ON THE COVID-19 
PANDEMIC, BUT WITH FALL WEEKS

SEASON. 
DR. FREDA FISHER IS A TRIPLE 
BOARD CERTIFIED MD AND ATLANTA. 
>> HAVING COVID-19 AND THE FLU, 
RESULTS COULD BE CATASTROPHIC. 
UNLESS PATIENTS GET THE FLU 
VACCINE. 
>> Reporter: SHE SAYS IT IS 
ALSO IMPORTANT TO GET CHILDREN 
THE FLU SHOT. 
SHE SAYS KIDS ARE NOT AT A 
LESSER RISK OF GETTING COVID-19 
COMPARED TO ADULTS AND HAVING 
BOTH ILLNESSES CAN BE 
DEVASTATING. 
LAST WEEK, A 1-YEAR-OLD BABY IN 
COBB COUNTY DIED FROM COVID-19 
AND LAST MONTH THE VIRUS KILLED 
A 7-YEAR-OLD. 
>> SYMPTOMS OF THE FLU CAN BE 
VERY SIMILAR TO SYMPTOMS OF 
COVID-19 AND WHAT YOU DON'T 
WANT IS FOR THINGS TO BE 
CONFUSED. 
SO THE BEST THING FOR PARENTS 
TO DO IS HELP US DECREASE THE 
AMOUNT OF FLU WE GET THIS 
SEASON. 
>> Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE 
CDC, A FEVER, COUGH, SHORTNESS 
OF BREATH, AND A RUNNY NOSE ARE 
JUST A FEW OF THE SYMPTOMS THAT 
ARE SIMILAR BETWEEN SEASONAL 
FLU AND COVID-19. 
CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE OF 
ATLANTA IS URGING FAMILIES TO 
VACCINATE THEIR KIDS. 
THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM REPORTED 
SEASONAL FLU KILLED NEARLY 200 
CHILDREN DURING LAST YEAR'S FLU 
SEASON. 
THE CONVERSATION ISN'T JUST 
HAPPENING IN GEORGIA. 
LAST MONTH, THE GOVERNOR OF 
MASSACHUSETTS MANDATED THE FLU 
SHOT FOR ALL CHILDREN GOING 
BACK TO SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY, AND 
DAYCARE. 
BY CHOOSING TO GET THE FLU SHOT 
THIS YEAR, PEOPLE CAN PLAY A 
BIG PART IN NOT POTENTIALLY 
OVERWHELMING LOCAL HOSPITALS. 
>> IF WE HAVE AN OVERWHELMING 
FLU SEASON IN THE MIDST OF THIS 
OVERWHELMING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, 
IT COULD ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELM 
OUR HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND THAT 
COULD BE FRIGHTENING.

THIS STUFF IN NORTH 
MISSISSIPPI, GOING THROUGH 
PARTS OF TENNESSEE, KENTUCKY, 
BACK INTO ARKANSAS. 
THAT IS WHERE WE HAVE THE RAIN, 
BUT THAT IS NOT MOVING OUR WAY 
ANYTIME SOON. 
THE RAIN IS GOING AROUND THE 
PERIPHERY OF THE HIGH-PRESSURE, 
SO IT WILL NOT MOVE OUR WAY. 
IF YOU ENJOYED TODAY WITH HIGH 
PRESSURE AND AFTERNOON STORMS, 
WE WILL DO THAT AGAIN TOMORROW 
AND MOST OF US WILL ENJOY THAT 
ON FRIDAY, AS WELL. 
BUT WE WILL BE DEALING WITH A

WE WILL BE WATCHING THAT HEAT

PUBLIC HEALTH  PROFESSORS ARE 
CALLING FOR THE CAMPERS TO GO 
TOTALLY VIRTUAL AFTER CASES 
QUADRUPLED IN THE LAST WEEK. 
821 CASES WERE REPORTED. 
THEY WARN THAT NUMBER MAY BE A 
LOW ESTIMATE. 
STUDENTS ON THEIR PARENTS 
MEDICAL INSURANCE ARE LIKELY 
NOT COUNTED AS POSITIVE CASES 
ON CAMPUS. 
KAITLYN ROSS WALKED THROUGH THE 
CONCERN. 
>> Reporter: A GROUP OF 
PROFESSORS FROM THE PUBLIC 
HEALTH DEPARTMENT WROTE AN OP-
ED CALLING FOR UGA TO SHUT DOWN 
OVER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND 
MOVE ALL CLASSES ONLINE. 
DR. GRACE ADAMS THINKS POSITIVE 
CASES ARE LIKELY HIGHER THAN 
THAT, BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY IS 
ONLY REPORTING NUMBERS ONCE A 
WEEK. 
>> I HAVE SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS, 
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THESE NUMBERS 
ARE QUITE CONSERVATIVE. 
THEY ARE OLD DATA AT THIS POINT.
>> Reporter: DR. DAVID BRADFORD 
TWEETED ABOUT THE CASES, 
CALLING NUMBERS EXTREMELY 
CONCERNING. 
HE ARGUES THE UNIVERSITY DOES 
NOT HAVE ADEQUATE TESTING 
CAPACITY AND SOME STUDENTS 
TESTED OFF CAMPUS WON'T HAVE 
CASES REPORTED BACK TO THE 
SCHOOL. 
>> STUDENTS GO AND GET THIS 
TEST DONE AND PAID FOR WITH 
THEIR PARENTS INSURANCE. 
IT IS TAKING THE ADDRESS ON THE 
FORM, WHICH ATTRIBUTES THE 
COVID CASE TO THEIR PARENTS 
HOME COUNTY, SO AS ALARMING AS 
THE NUMBERS ARE, FOR THE LAST 
SEVERAL DAYS, THEY SHOULD BE 
MORE ALARMED. 
>> Reporter: WE ASKED THE 
HEALTH DEPARTMENT ABOUT THAT 
AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TOLD 
US THEY DEPEND ON PEOPLE 
ACCURATELY REPORTING THEIR OWN 
ADDRESS. 
IF THEY ARE TESTED THROUGH DPH, 
THEY DON'T NEED AN INSURANCE 
CARD, BUT THAT CVS OR A PRIVATE 
DOCTOR'S OFFICE THEY WOULD AND 
THOSE NUMBERS MIGHT BE REPORTED 
AS THE FAMILY HOME OF RECORD. 
IF A STUDENT TESTS POSITIVE ON 
CAMPUS, NUMBERS ARE REPORTED AS 
A POSITIVE CASE AT UGA.

HOLCOMB. 
STILL ON FACEBOOK. 
MY PHONE, RIGHT HERE. 
TALKING TO ABOUT 154 PEOPLE. 
I AM CHATTING WITH YOU RIGHT 
NOW AND THEY WILL SEE THE 
BEHIND-THE-SCENES STUFF, TOO. 
GO TO MY FACEBOOK PAGE TO SEE 
WHAT WE ARE DOING BEHIND-THE-
SCENES. 
RADAR IS NOT SHOWING ANY RAIN. 
I'M LOVING THE FACT THAT WE 
HAVE A BREAK IN THE RAIN AND A 
LOT OF FOLKS ON FACEBOOK LIVE 
WERE SAYING WHEN THE RAIN COOLS 
THINGS DOWN, WE NEED IT FOR THE 
GRASS AND TREES. 
I GET THAT, BUT WE ARE ALMOST 
14 INCHES ABOVE AVERAGE RAINFALL
FOR THE YEAR, SO WE CAN AFFORD 
TO HAVE A LITTLE BREAK FROM 
SCATTERED SHOWERS. 
IT LOOKS LIKE THIS WILL STICK 
WITH US FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF 
DAYS. 
WE DON'T HAVE ANY RAIN OVER 
NORTH GEORGIA OR OVER ALABAMA. 
MOST OF MISSISSIPPI IS DRY, BUT 
WE HAVE SCATTERED SHOWERS INTO 
WESTERN TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY. 
THE SHOWERS ARE MOVING NORTH 
AND EAST. 
THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM ISN'T MAKING 
HEADWAY INTO OUR AREA ANYTIME 
SOON. 
WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE OVER US. 
SO SHOWERS STAY AWAY FROM US. 
LET'S TAKE A LIVE LOOK FROM THE 
TOWER CAMERA IN ROME. 
YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STREETS 
ARE DRY AND FLAGS ARE BLOWING 
JUST A LITTLE BIT. 
A FEW BREEZES OUT THERE RIGHT 
NOW. 
A NICE, QUIET, CALM NIGHT IN 
ROME, BUT ALSO VERY MILD, TOO. 
SOME PRETTY WARM TEMPERATURES. 
HERE IS A LOOK AGAIN AT THE 
WEATHER HEADLINES. 
STAYING DRY AND HOT AS WE WATCH 
THE HEAT INDEX OVER THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS. 
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT WE'RE 
WATCHING. 
TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW STILL IN 
THE 80s AT THIS HOUR IN 
ATLANTA. 
ALSO EDENTON, ATHENS, DULUTH, 
MARIETTA. 
EVERYONE ELSE IS IN THE 70s. 
A MILD NIGHT OUT THERE RIGHT 
NOW AND AS WE GO THROUGH THE 
NEXT 12 HOURS, WE WILL HOLD TO 
THE 80s UNTIL ABOUT 11:00. 
OUTSIDE THE STATE WILL BE IN 
THE 70s LITTLE FASTER. 
72 BY TOMORROW MORNING. 
ANOTHER MILD START, BUT IT WILL 
BE DRY IN THE MORNING. 
A LOT OF SUNSHINE AND WITH THE 
SUNSHINE WE WILL WARM UP 
QUICKLY. 
WE TOP OFF ROUTE 93 TOMORROW 
AFTERNOON. 
TODAY'S HIGH, UPPER 80s AND 
LOWER 90s AROUND METRO ATLANTA. 
IT WILL BE A HOT ONE TOMORROW. 
WE WILL GIVE THAT A 9 ON THE 
WIZOMETER, OUR SCALE FROM 1 TO 
11. 
THE 9 IS BECAUSE IT WILL BE 
ANOTHER RAIN FREE DAY. 
WE ARE NOT GOING TO 10 OR 11, 
JUST BECAUSE IT WILL BE SO HOT. 
WITH THE HUMIDITY, IT WILL FEEL 
EVEN HOTTER. 
YOU CAN SEE TONIGHT, LOOKING 
GOOD. 
MAINLY CLEAR SKIES. 
IN THE MORNING, MOSTLY SUNNY. 
MOSTLY SUNNY IN THE AFTERNOON 
AS WELL. 
AGAIN, GETTING TO AN AFTERNOON 
WITHOUT SEEING ALL THE GREEN 
SHOWING UP ON THE FORECAST 
WOULD INDICATE SOME OF THESE 
SCATTERED SHOWERS. 
FRIDAY, ANOTHER DRY DAY. 
WE'RE WATCHING A SYSTEM COMING 
IN LATE FRIDAY FOR PARTS OF 
NORTH GEORGIA AND ALABAMA. 
AS THIS GETS CLOSER, WE REALLY 
THINK THE HEATING WILL BE 
FALLING APART, BUT WE WILL 
WATCH IT CLOSELY. 
I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT ANY 
MAJOR CHANCES FRIDAY NIGHT. 
HERE IS THE LATEST ON THE 
TROPICAL SYSTEM. 
RIGHT NOW, MAXIMUM SUSTAINED 
WIND AT 60 MILES PER HOUR. 
IT MOST LIKELY IS GOING TO MAKE 
LANDFALL LATE TONIGHT 
OVERNIGHT, RIGHT AROUND BELIZE, 
AS A STRONG TROPICAL STORM. 
WE DO HAVE HURRICANE WARNINGS 
IN EFFECT FOR BELIZE. 
JUST BECAUSE THIS WILL BE CLOSE 
TO HURRICANE STRENGTH. 
STILL A TROPICAL STORM OVER 
GUATEMALA THURSDAY AFTERNOON 
AND THEN AN AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE AS IT DIVES OVER 
MEXICO. 
OF COURSE WE HAVE OMAR. 
THIS WAS A TROPICAL STORM 
EARLIER TODAY. 
IT IS NOW A TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION, MOVING AWAY FROM 
LAND. 
NO IMPACT ON THE ATLANTIC 
COASTLINE AT ALL. 
93 FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE ON 
THURSDAY. 
FRIDAY, ALSO 93. 
BOTH OF THOSE DAYS ARE GOING TO 
BE HOT AND DRY. 
TAKING RAIN CHANCES OUT FOR 
THOSE DAYS. 
ONLY A 20% CHANCE SATURDAY. 
A 30% CHANCE SUNDAY AND MONDAY. 
I WAS TELLING FOLKS ON FACEBOOK 
LIVE, WE WERE COMPARING THE 
MODELS. 
ONE MODEL SHOWS NO RAIN AT ALL 
AND ANOTHER IS SHOWING SOME. 
I'M KEEPING A 30% CHANCE FOR 
SHOWERS. 
40% TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH 
HIGHS IN THE MID 80s AND THEN 
IT MAY BE A LITTLE COOLER FOR 
THE END OF NEXT WEEK, TOO. 
>>> A CONTROVERSIAL STRATEGY TO 
FIGHT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC IS 
BACK IN THE SPOTLIGHT. 
IT IS CALLED HERD IMMUNITY AND 
IT HAPPENS WHEN THE LARGE 
PORTION OF A COMMUNITY BECOMES 
IMMUNE TO A DISEASE. 
MAKING THE SPREAD FROM PERSON-
TO-PERSON UNLIKELY. 
AS A RESULT, THE WHOLE 
COMMUNITY BECOMES PROTECTED. 
IT SOUNDS EASY, RIGHT? 
IT'S NOT. 
THIS WILL TAKE A LOT LONGER 
THAN A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK AND 
IT IS NOT A GUARANTEE. 
>> Reporter: RIGHT NOW, MORE 
THAN 6 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE 
U.S. OF CONTRACTED COVID. 
THAT IS ABOUT 1.5% OF THE 
POPULATION. 
>> EVEN IF IT WERE 10 TIMES 
THAT FIGURE, IT WOULDN'T BE 
ENOUGH PEOPLE TO BE INFECTED TO 
GIVE THAT KIND OF IMMUNITY THAT 
WOULD STOP TRANSMISSION. 
>> Reporter: A GLOBAL MEDICAL 
EXPERT BASED IN THE UK EXPLAINS 
HERD IMMUNITY COULD BE OBTAINED 
IN THE U.S., WITH A MASSIVE 
NUMBER OF PEOPLE. 
>> THAT IS GOING TO BE AROUND 
ABOUT 60%. 
>> Reporter: THAT IS AT LEAST 
170 MILLION PEOPLE. 
THE IDEA OF HERD IMMUNITY ISN'T 
NEW, BUT RECENTLY THE 
WASHINGTON POST REPORTED SCOTT 
ATLAS, A TOP WHITE HOUSE 
ADVISOR, IS PUSHING THE 
ADMINISTRATION TO ADOPT HERD 
IMMUNITY. 
ATLAS LATER TOLD THE PAPER HE 
NEVER SUGGESTED IT, BUT HE HAS 
THROWN HIS SUPPORT TO OPENING 
SCHOOLS IN PERSON LEARNING AND 
ALLOWING COLLEGE ATHLETES TO 
PLAY. 
IF THE U.S. WERE TO LEAN TOWARD 
HERD IMMUNITY, HE BELIEVES THAT 
WOULD TAKE UNTIL THE END OF 
2021 TO ACHIEVE. 
SINCE IT WOULD TAKE A LONG 
TIME, HE SAYS THE MOST LIKELY 
WAY TO END THE PANDEMIC WOULD 
BE THROUGH SOCIAL DISTANCING, 
MASK WEARING, AND A VACCINE. 
>> THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD 
STOP THE VIRUSES IF YOU CAN 
STOP PASSING IT FROM ONE PERSON 
TO ANOTHER, BECAUSE IT WILL 
JUST BECOME DEACTIVATED. 
>> HERD IMMUNITY MAY NOT BE A 
GUARANTEE BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW 
IF SOMEONE CAN CONTRACT THE 
VIRUS TWICE OR IF THE VIRUS 
WILL MUTATE. 
A COUNTRY THE SIZE OF THE U.S. 
TRYING TO ACHIEVE HERD IMMUNITY 
WOULD OVERWHELM HOSPITALS. 
>>> A MAN IN SAN ANTONIO SAYS 
HE WAS ARRESTED
>>> THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN 
SAN ANTONIO HAS DISMISSED ALL 
CHARGES AGAINST A BLACK JOGGER 
WHO IS STOPPED AND LATER 
DETAINED BY POLICE, EVEN THOUGH 
HE WAS NOT THE SUSPECT THEY 
WERE LOOKING FOR. 
HIS ARREST AND THE BODY CAM 
VIDEO IS RENEWING CONVERSATIONS 
ABOUT PROFILING. 
WE HAD A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT 
TODAY ON A LIFE AT 5:00. 
>> LAST WEEK, OFFICERS WERE 
DISPATCHED AFTER A WOMAN 
REPORTED HER EX-HUSBAND 
STRANGLED HER. 
YOU HEAR THE WOMAN DESCRIBED 
HIM AS A BLACK MAN IN A GREEN 
SHIRT. 
WHEN OFFICERS ASKED IF HE HAD A 
BEARD, SHE RESPONDED, KINDA. 
THIS LED TO OFFICERS STOPPING 
MATHIAS OMETU. 
THEY ASKED SEVERAL TIME  FOR 
HIS NAME, BUT HE REFUSED TO 
TELL THEM. 
THEY MADE ATTEMPTS TO ASK THE 
VICTIM MORE QUESTIONS AND SEE IF
OMETU WAS THE PERSON THEY WERE 
LOOKING FOR. 
AT ONE POINT HE ASKED TO BRING 
THE VICTIM TO THE SCENE TO 
IDENTIFY HIM,  BUT SHE SAID SHE 
CAN'T. 
THAT IS WHEN OFFICERS DECIDED 
TO HANDCUFF OMETU AND PUT HIM 
IN THE CAR.  
THE BODY CAM VIDEO DOESN'T GIVE 
A CLEAR PICTURE OF ALL THAT 
HAPPENED. 
OFFICERS REPORTED BEING KICKED 
AND YOU CAN HEAR OMETU ASKING 
IF HE IS BEING CHOKED.  
ONE THING THAT WAS CLEAR IN THE 
END IS THAT OMETU WAS NOT THE 
MAN THEY WERE LOOKING FOR. 
PEOPLE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO 
IDENTIFY THEMSELVES TO POLICE 
DURING AN ENCOUNTER LIKE THIS,  
BUT THE D.A. 
SAYS OFFICERS CAN DETAIN 
SOMEONE UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO 
IDENTIFY THEM. 
TODAY WE HEARD FROM OMETU ABOUT 
HOW THIS AFFECTED HIM. 
>>  I WAS YANKED BY OFFICERS, 
BY MY NECK. 
MY LEGS WERE TWISTED AND 
CONTORTED. 
I WAS PUT IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE 
POSITION. 
I FELT EACH OF THE OFFICERS 
FINGERS PRESSED INTO MY THROAT. 
I WAS STRIPPED NAKED. 
I WAS EXPOSED. 
I WAS EXPOSED. 
AND I FELT, I FELT VIOLATED. 
>> OMETU WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AS 
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS 
EXPERIENCE,  SAYING THAT HE 
FEELS BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK 
MAN, HE WAS TREATED 
DIFFERENTLY. 
HE WAS ROUGHED UP AND VIOLATED 
IN THAT WAY. 
FEELING LIKE HE WAS TREATED 
LIKE HE WAS GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN 
INNOCENT, INSTEAD OF BEING 
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY. 
HE WAS JOGGING, SO I THOUGHT 
IMMEDIATELY OF THE CASE OF 
AHMAUD ARBERY, SHOT AND KILLED 
WHILE OUT ON A JOG IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE DAY AND A FATHER 
AND SON THOUGHT THAT HE JUST 
LOOKED SUSPICIOUS. 
JENNIFER. 
>> I THINK THAT BROUGHT THAT TO 
MIND FOR MANY PEOPLE. 
I WAS THINKING WHAT MYRON SAID. 
A BLACK GUY IN A GREEN SHIRT IS 
LIKE SAYING A SUSPECT WAS A 
WHITE GUY IN KHAKI SHORTS. 
YOU KIND OF NEED MORE 
INFORMATION BEFORE YOU DETAIN 
SOMEBODY AND TAKE THEIR RIGHTS 
AWAY. 
>> EVEN IN JOURNALISM, WE 
COULDN'T GO ON TV WITH A 
COMMENT OR DESCRIPTION THAT 
VAGUE. 
WE HAVE TO HAVE MORE, BECAUSE 
IT IS SO GENERAL. 
KIM HAYNES SAYS WITH ALL THE 
MONEY POLICE HAVE AT THEIR 
DISPOSAL, THEY DON'T HAVE A 
PHONE TO TAKE A QUICK PICTURE? 
>> AND ANDY SAYS, I TELL YOU, 
AND TELL SOME OF THESE PEOPLE 
TALKING ABOUT PROTESTERS PUT ON 
BLACK SKIN, I DON'T THINK THEY 
WILL EVER UNDERSTAND. 
I WAS THINKING ABOUT A WNBA 
PLAYER WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE 
HOPES THAT EVERYONE CAN 
UNDERSTAND THIS ONE POINT. 
THAT UNTIL EVERYONE'S HUSBAND, 
CHILDREN, LOVED ONES, ARE 
TREATED THE SAME IN THE SAME 
SCENARIO, NO MATTER WHAT COLOR 
THEIR SKIN, WE HAVE A PROBLEM 
WE HAVE TO FACE AND THAT IS WHAT
OMETU IS SAYING, THAT HE FEELS 
LIKE THERE IS BRUTALITY AND 
PROFILING AT PLAY. 
>> I DON'T CARE HOW YOU SLICE 
IT,  HERE IS THE FACT OF THE 
MATTER. 
THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IF 
THE DESCRIPTION WAS DIFFERENT 
AND THAT IS THE REALITY THAT SO 
MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET 
UNCOMFORTABLE TO BE ABLE TO 
ACCEPT. 
I AM THINKING ABOUT THIS AND I 
HAVE TWO OLDER BROTHERS. 
I COULD'VE EASILY BEEN MY 
BROTHER. 
THEY KIND OF HAVE A BEARD. 
JUST SPEAKING TO JENNIFER'S 
POINT, IT IS SO GENERALIZED AND 
SO BIG. 
YOU COULD DO A LINEUP OF 10 
BLACK MAN WALKING DOWN THE 
STREET RIGHT NOW AND THEY MAY 
KIND OF HAVE A BEARD OR A GREEN 
SHIRT. 
ESPECIALLY IN THE SUMMERTIME. 
SO IT JUST WASN'T ENOUGH 
INFORMATION AND IT WILL BE VERY 
INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS ALL 
PLAYS OUT, GIVEN THE WAY THAT 
HE SAYS HE WAS TREATED, AFTER 
THE ARREST.

>>> WITHOUT A SECOND STIMULUS 
PACKAGE APPROVED, MANY 
AMERICANS ARE STRUGGLING 
FINANCIALLY BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. 
WE ARE LOOKING AT A SWEEPING 
NEW MEASURE FROM THE CDC 
DESIGNED TO HELP KEEP PEOPLE 
FROM LOSING THEIR HOMES. 
>> Reporter: THE WHITE HOUSE 
SAYS THE CDC WILL BAN MOST 
EVICTIONS THROUGH THE END OF 
THE YEAR. 
THIS IS ALL PART OF PRESIDENT 
TRUMP'S NEW EXECUTIVE ORDER. 
THE ORDER SAYS THE CDC WILL USE 
ITS POWER UNDER FEDERAL LAW TO 
PREVENT ANY LANDLORD WHO HAS  A 
LEGAL RIGHT TO EVICT A TENANT 
FROM DOING SO, TO HELP PREVENT 
THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS. 
IT ALSO PROVIDES INCENTIVES TO 
PROPERTY OWNERS AND TENANTS. 
TO BE COVERED, YOU HAVE TO MEET 
FOUR CRITERIA. 
FIRST, YOU MUST HAVE AN INCOME 
OF $198,000 OR LESS FOR COUPLES,
OR $99,000 FOR SINGLE FILERS. 
YOU MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE YOU 
HAVE SOUGHT GOVERNMENT 
ASSISTANCE TO MAKE RENTAL 
PAYMENTS, PROVE THEY ARE UNABLE 
TO PAY RENT BECAUSE OF COVID-
19, AND AFFIRM THEY ARE LIKELY 
TO BECOME HOMELESS IF EVICTED. 
AS OF NOW, RENT IS STILL DUE 
FOR THE NEW YEAR, BUT IN THE 
MEANTIME THIS WILL HELP 
MILLIONS OF STRUGGLING AMERICANS
PAY THEIR RENT.

TO BUILD A HOUSE, HE WANTED TO 
OWN IT AND LAST YEAR HE STAKED 
HIS CLAIM. 
HE CREATED A $280 MILLION, 330

>>> WE HAD A HOT DAY TODAY, BUT 
AT LEAST WE STILL STAYED JUST 
SHY OF 90 IN TOWN. 
89, THAT IS ABOVE AVERAGE. 
USUALLY FOR THE BEGINNING OF 
SEPTEMBER WE HAVE TEMPERATURES 
AROUND 86 DEGREES. 
IT WAS A MILD START THIS 
MORNING AT 74. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 69 THIS 
TIME OF YEAR. 
IT WAS MILD BECAUSE WE STILL 
HAVE A LOT OF MOISTURE IN THE 
ATMOSPHERE. 
HUMIDITY AROUND. 
TWO POINTS INHIBIT TEMPERATURES 
FROM FALLING TOO MUCH. 
A MILD START IN THE MORNING, AS 
WELL. 
OFFICIALLY HARTSFIELD-JACKSON 
TODAY, THAT IS NICE TO SEE, TO 
GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK. 
MOST PLACES DIDN'T SEE ANY RAIN 
TODAY. 
I WAS TELLING YOU EARLIER, WE 
CAN AFFORD A FEW DRY DAYS. 
IT IS NOT LIKE WE ARE ENTERING 
A DROUGHT OR ANYTHING, BUT WE 
CAN AFFORD A FEW DRY DAYS, 
BECAUSE WE ARE ALMOST 14 INCHES 
ABOVE WHERE WE SHOULD BE IN 
RAINFALL SO FAR FOR THE YEAR. 
TAKE A LOOK AT TEMPERATURES 
AROUND NORTH GEORGIA. 
HOLDING IN THE 80s IN TOWN. 
MARIETTA, CANTON, DULUTH, 
ATHENS, EATONTON, ALSO IN THE 
LOW 80s. 
EVERYONE ELSE IN THE 70s. 
A MILD EVENING WITH HUMIDITY 
AROUND. 
TOMORROW WE START OFF WITH 
SUNSHINE, MILD AIR IN THE 70s. 
9:00, 78. 
IN THE MID-80s BY 11:00 AND 
THEN CLIMBING UP. 
THIS MODEL IS 92, I'M SAYING 93 
TOMORROW, WITH MOSTLY SUNNY 
SKIES AND A COUPLE CLOUDS. 
IT LOOKS LIKE WE WILL MAKE IT 
THROUGH THE DAY AGAIN TOMORROW, 
WITH NO RAIN AROUND. 
SO WE WILL GO WITH THE 9 ON THE 
WIZOMETER, OUR SCALE FROM 1 TO 
11, WHERE 11 IS THE PERFECT DAY.
HUMIDITY WILL MAKE IT FEEL EVEN 
HOTTER, LIKE THE MID TO UPPER 
90s THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW. 
TWO POINTS WILL BE IN THE LOW 
70s. 
EVEN WITH THAT MOISTURE AND 
HUMIDITY AROUND AND THE 
HEATING, WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE 
OVER US. 
THAT WILL SUPPRESS ANY 
DEVELOPMENT OF STORMS FOR THE 
AFTERNOON. 
YOU CAN SEE THE DRY WEATHER IN 
THE MORNING. 
HERE WE ARE AROUND LUNCHTIME, 
STILL DRY. 
MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY 
FOR THE AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY. 
THE EVENING WILL ALSO BE DRY 
AND FRIDAY WE END THE WEEK WITH 
A DRY DAY, TOO. 
WE'RE WATCHING THIS NEXT SYSTEM 
COMING OUR WAY. 
IT WILL BRING CLOUDS LATE 
FRIDAY AFTERNOON. 
MAYBE A COUPLE SHOWERS IN 
NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND ALABAMA. 
I REALLY THINK THESE WILL FALL 
APART AS THEY MOVE INTO OUR 
AREA ON FRIDAY NIGHT. 
A LOW RISK LATE FRIDAY IN 
NORTHWEST GEORGIA, BUT DRY IN 
ATLANTA. 
I WILL KEEP FINE-TUNING THE 
FORECAST FOR YOU AND LET YOU 
KNOW IF IT CHANGES. 
ALL RIGHT, I WANTED TO SHOW YOU 
AGAIN. 
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE LATEST 
ADVISORY TO COME IN. 
ABOUT THIS TIME NEXT HOUR, 
BETWEEN 10:30 AND 11:00 IS WHEN 
WE GET THE NEXT ADVISORY. 
IT IS A TROPICAL STORM WITH MAX 
WIND OF 60 MILES PER HOUR. 
IT COULD REACH AROUND 70 MILE-
PER-HOUR WINDS TONIGHT. 
AND OVERNIGHT. 
I THINK WILL MAKE LANDFALL 
AROUND BELIZE AND GOING TO 
GUATEMALA AS A TROPICAL STORM 
TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND THEN 
FALL APART AS IT GOES THROUGH 
MEXICO AS AN AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE. 
AGAIN, OMAR, WE WERE WATCHING 
THAT FOR YOU THE PAST COUPLE 
DAYS. 
A TROPICAL DEPRESSION THAT 
DEVELOPED INTO A TROPICAL STORM 
YESTERDAY. 
IT IS NOW BACK DOWN TO A 
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AS IT IS 
LOSING STRENGTH, MOVING AWAY 
FROM THE COAST AND CONTINUING 
TO FALL APART THROUGH THE END 
OF THE WEEK. 
CHECK OUT THE SEVEN-DAY OUTLOOK 
WHERE WE SEE HIGH TEMPERATURES 
UP TO 93 TOMORROW AND FRIDAY,

WHEN SYLVESTER WAS ARRESTED IN

SINCE HE HAD BEEN COOPERATING 
WITH POLICE. 
>>> GEORGIA IS MAKING GAINS IN 
THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19, BUT 
THERE ARE A FEW AREAS SEEING 
SOME BIG GAINS IN NEW CASES. 
HALL COUNTY IS ONE PLACE WE'RE 
KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON. 
THERE WAS A BIG SHOT SPOT EARLY 
ON THERE AND AN AGGRESSIVE 
CAMPAIGN HELPED CONTAIN CASES 
IN HALL, BUT THE PAST WEEK 
WE'VE WATCHED NUMBERS START TO 
GO BACK UP AGAIN. 
FIVE OF THE PAST SEVEN DAYS NEW 
CASES HAVE BEEN ABOVE AVERAGE. 
THE OTHER PLACE WE ARE SEEING 
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH IS ATHENS 
CLARKE COUNTY. 
NEARLY 800 NEW CASES WERE 
REPORTED THERE IN THE PAST TWO 
WEEKS. 
THE BOX SHOWS WHEN STUDENTS 
STARTED RETURNING TO CAMPUS FOR 
FALL SEMESTER AND THE START OF 
THE SPIKE. 
WE AREN'T FAR AWAY FROM FLU 
SEASON WHICH IS WHY DOCTORS ARE 
ASKING PEOPLE TO GET THE 
VACCINE IF THEY CAN. 
ONE DOCTOR TELLS US IT'S 
CRUCIAL THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF 
COVID-19 AND ESPECIALLY 
IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN. 
11ALIVE'S CHENUE HER EXPLAINS 
WHY. 
>> RIGHT NOW THE ATTENTION IS 
ON THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, BUT 
WITH FALL WEEKS AWAY DOCTORS 
SAY THE COVID CRISIS COULD 
REALLY SHAKE UP FLU SEASON. 
DR. FRIEDA FISHER IS A TRIPLE 
CERTIFIED BOARD MD IN ATLANTA. 
>> WITH COVID-19 AND THE FLU 
THE RESULTS COULD BE 
CATASTROPHIC UNLESS PATIENTS 
GET THE FLU VACCINE. 
>> THE DOCTOR SAYS IT'S 
IMPORTANT TO GET CHILDREN THE 
FLU SHOT. 
SHE SAYS KIDS ARE NOT AT A 
LESSER RISK OF GETTING COVID-19 
COMPARED TO ADULTS AND HAVING 
BOTH ILLNESSES CAN BE 
DEVASTATED. 
LAST WEEK A 1-YEAR-OLD BABY IN 
COBB COUNTY DIED FROM COVID-19. 
LAST MONTH THE VIRUS KILLED A 7-
YEAR-OLD IN CHATHAM COUNTY. 
>> THE FLU SYMPTOMS CAN BE VERY 
SIMILAR   SO COVID-19. 
THE BEST THING FOR PARENTS TO 
DO IS TO HELP US DECREASE THE 
AMOUNT OF FLU WE GET THIS 
SEASON. 
>> ACCORDING TO THE CDC, A 
FEVER, COUGH, SHORTNESS OF 
BREATH AND RUNNY NOSE ARE A NEW 
SYMPTOMS SIMILAR BETWEEN THE 
SEASONAL FLU AND COVID-19. 
CHILDREN'S HEALTHCARE OF 
ATLANTA IS URGING FAMILIES TO 
VACCINATE THEIR KIDS. 
THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM REPORTED 
THE SEASONAL FLU KILLED NEARLY 
200 CHILDREN DURING LAST YEAR'S 
FLU SEASON. 
THE CONVERSATION ISN'T JUST 
HAPPENING IN GEORGIA. 
LAST MONTH THE GOVERNOR OF 
MASSACHUSETTS MANDATED THE FLU 
SHOT FOR ALL CHILDREN GOING 
BACK TO SCHOOLS, UNIVERSITIES 
AND DAYCARES. 
DR. FRIEDA SAYS BY CHOOSING TO 
GET THE FLU SHOT THIS YEAR, 
PEOPLE CAN PLAY A BIG PART IN 
NOT POTENTIALLY OVERWHELMING 
LOCAL HOSPITALS. 
>> IF WE HAVE AN OVERWHELMING 
FLU SEASON IN THE MIDST OF THIS 
OVERWHELMING COVID-19 PANDEMIC, 
WE CAN ABSOLUTELY OVERWHELM OUR 
HOSPITAL RESOURCES AND THAT 
COULD BE FRIGHTENING. 
>>> THE U.S. IS WILLING TO PUSH 
OUT A VACCINE BEFORE IT'S FULLY 
APPROVED, BUT HOW WILL A 
VACCINE BECOME AVAILABLE 
WORLDWIDE? 
UNTIL THE WORLD IS IMMUNIZED

VIROLOGISTS SAY UNILATERAL 
APPROACHES WON'T WORK. 
THEY PROPOSE A DISTRIBUTION 
PLAN. 
WORK WITH THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION TO SECURE DEALS 
WITH DRUG COMPANIES FOR 2 
BILLION DOSES OF VARIOUS 
VACCINES FOR WORLDWIDE 
DISTRIBUTION. 
PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO 
DOCTORS AND NURSES. 
IF 20% OF THE WORLD'S 
POPULATION IS IMMUNIZED, THE 
PANDEMIC MAY SUBSIDE. 
SO FAR MORE THAN 160 COUNTRIES 
HAVE SIGNED ONTO THIS 
INITIATIVE. 
THE U.S. HAS NOT, BUT TALKS ARE 
ONGOING. 
THE GOAL IS TO GIVE A WHOPPING

ACCUSED BEFORE OF 
DISENFRANCHISING VOTERS AND A 
NEW STUDY FROM A REPORTER WHO

LATE LAST YEAR TO PURGE ANOTHER 
BATCH OF VOTERS, NEARLY 200,000 
INACTIVE VOTERS, FROM THE ROLLS 
AFTER THE STATE WAS UNABLE TO 
VERIFY CURRENT ADDRESSES. 
HE ACCUSES THE STATE OF USING 
AMATEURISH ADDRESS VERIFICATION 
METHODS AND THAT THOSE 200,000 
PURGED VOTERS REALLY DO LIVE AT 
THEIR SAME ADDRESSES. 
THE EXPERTS HE HIRED INCLUDING 
A COMPANY AMAZON USES TO VERIFY 
ADDRESSES. 
>> IT'S REAL SIMPLE. 
GEORGIANS SHOULDN'T IS BE 
REMOVED FROM VOTER ROLLS ON THE 
BASIS OF FALSE INFORMATION. 
>> Reporter:  ANDREA YOUNG OF 
ACLU GEORGIA SAYS THE STATE IS 
NOT EQUIPPED TO VERIFY 
ADDRESSES ACCURATELY.

MORE EXPENSIVE AND LESS 
ACCURATE THAN AN INDUSTRY

SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE 
SAYS THE VOTER PURGE WAS BASED 
ON PRECISE AND RIGOROUS ADDRESS 
CHECKS AND THAT THE PURGE WAS 
NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE

VOTERS. 
AS IT IS, ALL THOSE NAMES ARE 
OFF THE ROLLS AND ANDREA YOUNG

JUST A LITTLE BREEZE. 
LOOK AT THESE TEMPERATURES. 
IN ROME WHERE I JUST SHOWED YOU 
THAT LIVE CAMERA IT'S 77 
DEGREES, CARROLLTON A LITTLE 
COOLER AT 73. 
WE'RE HOLDING AT 80 IN ATLANTA. 
DULUTH IS ALSO IN THE 80s AND 
EATONTON 80s. 
EVERYBODY ELSE IS IN 70s. 
IT'S GOING TO STAY MILD THE 
REST OF THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. 
IN THE MORNING IT WILL BE MILD, 
TOO. 
IT WILL HOLD THESE TEMPERATURES 
IN THE LOWER 80s TILL ABOUT 
11:00. 
AT MIDNIGHT WE GO DOWN TO 79. 
THAT'S FOR HERE IN THE CITY. 
A LOT OF YOU ARE IN THE 70s. 
IN THE MORNING WE WAKE UP TO 
TEMPERATURES AGAIN IN THOSE LOW 
AND MAINLY MID-70S TO START THE 
DAY WITH MAINLY CLEAR SKIES, 
SUNSHINE AT 8:00 AND AT 10:00, 
BUT LOOK HOW TEMPERATURES START 
RISING BACK UP TO 81 AT 10:00. 
WE TOP OFF IN THE AFTERNOON IN 
THE LOWER 90s ABOUT 93 DEGREES. 
TODAY WAS 89 FOR A HIGH. 
I THINK WE'LL BE WARMER 
TOMORROW. 
WE'LL GIVE THAT A 9 ON THE 
WIZOMETER. 
WE'LL STAY DRY TOMORROW, TOO, 
WITH THE MIXTURE OF SUNSHINE 
AND CLOUDS AND THE HUMIDITY 
LEVELS WILL BE UP THERE. 
IT'S GOING TO FEEL MUGGY, BUT 
WE WON'T SEE LIFT IN THE 
ATMOSPHERE TO GIVE US ANY OF 
THOSE SCATTERED SHOWERS. 
IN THE MORNING WE HAVE SUNSHINE 
AND AT LUNCHTIME STILL MOSTLY 
SUNNY AND THEN IN THE AFTERNOON 
MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY 
HERE AND THAT LINGERS INTO THE 
EVENING, TOO. 
SO ANOTHER RAIN FREE DAY. 
CAN IT PERSIST INTO FRIDAY? 
YEAH, I THINK SO. 
FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY 
FRIDAY WE'RE DRY, IN THE 
AFTERNOON ALSO DRY AND WE'LL 
WATCH SOME SHOWERS TRYING TO 
COME INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA AND 
BUILDING BACK IN ALABAMA LATE 
FRIDAY. 
IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE WILL WEAKEN 
AS THEY COME INTO OUR AREA LATE 
FRIDAY NIGHT. 
WE'LL KEEP AN EYE ON THAT. 
NOW I'M NOT OVERLY CONCERNED 
ABOUT ANY OF THAT RAIN MAKING 
IT HERE. 
HERE'S THE LATEST ON TROPICAL 
STORM NANA. 
IT'S GETTING CLOSER TO 
LANDFALL. 
WE DO THINK IT WILL MAKE 
LANDFALL LATER TONIGHT AROUND 
BELIZE AS A TROPICAL STORM WITH 
MAXIMUM WINDS AROUND 70 MILES 
AN HOUR. 
WE'LL GET A NEW UPDATE FROM THE 
HURRICANE CENTER IN OUR NEXT 
HALF HOUR. 
IT STAYS AS A TROPICAL STORM 
OVER GUATEMALA AND THEN MOVES 
INTO MEXICO AND LOSES ITS 
TROPICAL STORM STRENGTH AND 
BECOMES AN AREA OF LOW 
PRESSURE. 
IT COULD GO BACK INTO THE 
PACIFIC. 
SOMEBODY ASKED ME EARLIER IF 
THIS GOES BACK IN THE PACIFIC 
AND REDEVELOPS, WILL IT GET A 
NEW NAME? 
IT WILL GET A NEW NAME. 
HERE'S A LOOK AT OMAR 
DOWNGRADED TO A TROPICAL 
DEPRESSION. 
IT WAS A TROPICAL STORM LATE 
YESTERDAY. 
IT WAS REALLY STRUGGLING TO 
MAINTAIN TROPICAL STORM 
STRENGTH. 
NOW IT IS BELOW TROPICAL STORM 
STRENGTH. 
IT WILL BE A DEPRESSION AND 
THEN AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AS 
IT MEANDERS TO THE EAST, NO 
IMPACT ON OUR WEATHER. 
HERE'S WHAT WE'RE WATCHING IN 
THE SEVEN-DAY FORECAST, MORE 
WARM AIR. 
93 FOR A HIGH BOTH THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY. 
WE AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT RAIN 
CHANCES. 
THEN SATURDAY A 20% CHANCE FOR 
A SHOWER AND THEN SUNDAY AND 
MONDAY RIGHT NOW I'M GOING WITH 
A 30% CHANCE OF A SHOWER, BUT 
THE MODELS AREN'T COMING 
TOGETHER ON AGREEING ON THE 
RAIN CHANCES. 
IT WILL BE NICE IF WE CAN TAKE 
THE RAIN CHANCES OUT. 
WE'LL MONITOR THAT THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS, BACK TO A 40% CHANCE 
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WITH 
HIGHS IN THE MID-80s AND LOWER 
80s BY THE END OF NEXT WEEK. 
LOOK AT THIS WEATHER WOW MOMENT 
FROM BILL IN MERIWETHER COUNTY. 
THIS IS FROM YESTERDAY, 
BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW THAT 
DEVELOPED. 
HE WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT 
THE RIGHT TIME AS THE RAINBOW 
DEVELOPED AS THE RAIN MOVED OUT 
AND THE SUN WAS SETTING TO THE 
WEST.

THERE IS GOOD NEWS IN THE DATA 
BUT IS ENCOURAGING CAUTION.

SAYS BEWARE.  
GIVEN THE INCUBATION PERIOD AND 
TESTING DELAYS, CASES OFTEN 
AREN'T REPORTED UNTIL ABOUT TWO 
WEEKS AFTER INFECTION. 
IF YOU USE THAT TIMELINE TO

NORMAL.

THAT SUMMER FUN IN THE SUN WAS 
227,000 NEW COVID CASES AND 
3,700 DEATHS.

CASE SURGE BEGAN WERE ALONG THE 
GEORGIA BORDERS OR THE GEORGIA 
COAST AND A LOT OF THEM ARE

WHO WANT THEIR CHILDREN IN THE 
CLASSROOM THIS FALL OR FOR 
ADULTS TRYING TO SEE LOVED ONES 
LOCKED IN LONG TERM CARE 
FACILITIES, WHAT HAPPENS THIS 
WEEKEND COULD MAKE THE 
DIFFERENCE. 
>> THE VIRUS CAN'T GET TO ITS 
NEXT PERSON WITHOUT OUR HELP. 
IT CANNOT MOVE ON ITS OWN. 
IT HAS TO HAVE A HUMAN TAKE IT 
TO ITS NEXT HOST. 
SO ANYTHING THAT YOU CAN DO TO 
LIMIT YOUR TRANSMISSION TO

THE LEGAL RIGHT TO EVICT A

THE ORDER ALSO PROVIDES

YOU MUST ALSO DEMONSTRATE YOU

ABOUT THE SPIKE IN CASES

CONCERNING AND ARGUES THE

ADEQUATE TESTING CAPACITY AND 
THAT SOME STUDENTS WHO ARE 
TESTED OFF CAMPUS WON'T HAVE 
THEIR CASES REPORTED BACK TO

THIS TEST DONE AND PAY FOR IT 
WITH THEIR PARENTS' INSURANCE, 
IT'S TAKING THE ADDRESS FROM 
THE FORM, WHICH IS ATTRIBUTES 
THE COVID CASE TO THEIR 
PARENTS' HOME COUNTY, NOT TO 
ATHENS CLARKE. 
SO AS ALARMING AS THE NUMBERS 
FROM DPH ARE TODAY FROM ATHENS

MORE ALARMING.

MEANDERS IN THE ATLANTIC AS AN 
AREA OF LOW PRESSURE AND 
FINALLY FALL APART WE THINK 
FRIDAY MORNING. 
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING THE OTHER 
SYSTEMS IN THE ATLANTIC. 
HERE'S ONE IN THE CENTRAL 
ATLANTIC AND ANOTHER COMING OFF 
THE COAST OF AFRICA.  
THE ONE IN THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC 
HAS A 20 TO 30% CHANCE OF 
DEVELOPMENT IN THE NEXT FIVE 
DAYS AND THE OTHER ONE OFF THE 
COAST OF AFRICA IS NOW EMERGING 
OVER THE WATER AS IT CONTINUES 
WEST AND COMES INTO THIS 
DEVELOPMENT ZONE. 
THAT'S WHEN WE THINK IT WILL BE 
MORE CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT. 
IN FACT, IT HAS ABOUT A 60% 
CHANCE OF DEVELOPMENT OVER THE 
NEXT FIVE DAYS. 
OF COURSE, WE'VE BEEN KEEPING 
TRACK OF THESE NAMES. 
WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF 
THEM. 
WE'RE NOW THROUGH NANA AND 
OMAR, THE ACTIVE SYSTEMS THAT 
WE'RE WATCHING NOW. 
THE NEXT ONE ON THE LIST WOULD 
BE PAULETTE. 
WE ARE NOT EVEN TO THE MIDDLE 
OF HURRICANE SEASON YET AND 
WE'VE GONE THROUGH ALL THESE 
NAMES. 
AFTER OMAR WE HAVE ONE, TWO, 
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX MORE 
NAMES TO GO TO GET THROUGH THE 
REST OF THE SEASON. 
IF WE RUN OUT OF NAMES, THEN 
WE'LL GO TO THE GREEK ALPHABET. 
THAT'S HOW WE'LL NAME THE NAMES 
AFTER WILFRED. 
THE SEASON STARTS BEGINNING OF 
JUNE AND ENDS NOVEMBER 30th. 
THIS IS THE PEAK TIME RIGHT 
HERE THAT CORRESPONDS WITH 
SEPTEMBER 10th. 
NOW WE'RE AT THE BEGINNING OF 
SEPTEMBER. 
SO WE ARE REALLY CLOSE TO THE 
PEAK OF THE SEASON. 
THEN THE ACTIVITY SHOULD START 
COMING DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT 
STILL ACTIVE IN SEPTEMBER AND 
PARTS OF OCTOBER, TOO. 
93 FOR A HIGH THURSDAY AND 
FRIDAY WITH DRY WEATHER, ONLY A 
20% CHANCE OF A SHOWER 
SATURDAY, GOING WITH A 30% 
CHANCE SUNDAY AND MONDAY, BACK 
TO 40% TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY 
WITH COOLER AIR, BACK TO THE 
80s NEXT WEEK. 
>>> ATLANTA UNITED WENT INTO 
THEIR GAME AGAINST INTERMIAMI 
TONIGHT HOPING TO FIND MORE 
ATTACKING POWER AND GET BACK TO 
THE WIN COLUMN, BUT A FEW HOURS 
BEFORE THE MATCH THE TEAM 
LEARNED THAT A MIDDLE FIELDER 
PITY MARTINEZ WOULD BE 
TRANSFERRED TO A CLUB IN SAUDI 
ARABIA, A BIG BLOW TO THE TEAM 
AND RIGHT BEFORE A MATCH. 
THE GAME STARTED WITH BOTH 
TEAMS ON A KNEE. 
THESE TEAMS POSTPONED THEIR 
MATCH THE LAST TIME THEY WERE 
TO PLAY AS TEAMS WERE 
BOYCOTTING. 
THE NINTH MINUTE ATLANTA UNITED 
BLEW A WIDE OPEN LOOK THAT 
SHOULD HAVE BEEN A GOAL FROM 
ERIC TORRES. 
MIAMI HAD MISSED OPPORTUNITIES 
OF THEIR OWN. 
GOALKEEPER BRAD GUZAN HAD A 
NUMBER OF GOOD SAVES, BUT IT'S 
A SCORELESS DRAW, THE FIRST 
EVER FOR ATLANTA UNITED. 
AFTER THE GAME ALL THE FOCUS 
WAS ON MARTINEZ'S PERMANENT 
ABSENCE AND THE EFFECT ON THE 
TEAM. 
>> DID TODAY'S NEWS ABOUT PITY 
MARTINEZ, DO YOU THINK IT 
AFFECTED THE TEAM AT ALL? 
THE PREPARATION OF THIS GAME? 
>> NO. 
IT DOES AFFECT YOUR PREP WHEN 
YOU THINK IS A PLAYER PLAYING 
AND YOU'VE GONE OVER THE CALLS 
AND KICKS AND EVERYTHING WE 
WORKED ON AS WELL. 
>> FROM A MENTALITY STANDPOINT 
DID IT AFFECT US AS A GROUP IN 
TERMS OF THE NEWS COMING OUT 
BEFORE OUR PREMATCH AND THEN 
OBVIOUSLY WE'RE AT THE TRAINING 
GROUND AND WE ALL START TO GET 
CONFIRMATION THAT, YOU KNOW, 
IT'S TRUE. 
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN, WHATEVER, 
THAT PART, NO. 
>>> BRAVES GOING FOR A THREE-
GAME SWEEP OF BOSTON IN FENWAY 
PARK AND THIS IS INCREDIBLE FOR 
THE SECOND STRAIGHT NIGHT A 
BRAVES PLAYER HITTING THREE 
HOME RUNS. 
LAST NIGHT MARCELL OZUNA, 
TONIGHT ADAM DUVAL. 
HE WENT DEEP INTO SECOND, SIXTH 
AND EIGHTH INNINGS. 
BRAVES WIN IT 7-5. OZUNA HIT 
ANOTHER HOME RUN TONIGHT. 
BRAVES' BATS ARE HOT OUT THERE. 
>>> HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL IS 
BACK TO GAMES TONIGHT IN THE 
NIGHT CAP BETWEEN MAYS AND WEST 
FORSYTH. 
DON'T FORGET TO WATCH THE 
SEASON PREMIER FRIDAY NIGHT AT 
11:15 ON 11ALIVE. 
>>> BAD NEWS FOR GEORGIA FANS 
OUT OF ATHENS, UGA QUARTERBACK 
JAMIE NEWNAN DESPITED TO OPT 
OUT OF THE 2020 SEASON MORE 
THAN THREE WEEKS BEFORE REGULAR 
SEASON. 
OUR UGA INSIDER WHO BROKE THE 
NEWS JOINS US NOW WITH THE 
LATEST. 
>> Reporter:  SO IT'S KIND OF A 
BOLT OF LIGHTNING OUT OF ATHENS 
TODAY AS GRADUATE TRANSFER 
QUARTERBACK JAMIE NEWNAN 
ANNOUNCED HE'LL OPT OUT OF THE 
2020 SEASON FOR THE BULLDOGS. 
HE HAD JUST SCRIMMAGED THE PAST 
SATURDAY AND GOT A LOT OF REPS 
WITH THE NUMBER ONE TEAM. 
THERE'S SPECULATION IT WAS 
BASED ON THE FACT J.T. 
DANIELS AND DeJUAN MATHIS WERE 
MAYBE EDGING HIM OUT. 
NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM 
THE TRUTH. 
HE WAS THE ODDS ON FAVORITE TO 
WIN THE STARTING POINT. 
DANIELS WHO TRANSFERRED IN IS 
STILL NOT CLEARED FOR CONTACT 
YET AND MATHIS DOES NOT HAVE 
THE EXPERIENCE JAMIE NEWMAN 
HAD. 
IT'S NOT A SITUATION WHERE IT 
WAS A DEPTH CHART ISSUE. 
IT WAS A AND TO USE HIS WORDS 
UNCERTAINTIES AMID A GLOBAL 
PANDEMIC. 
SO A BAD DAY FOR THE GEORGIA 
BULLDOGS WHEN IT COMES TO THE 
LIKELIHOOD OF SEEING JAMIE 
NEWMAN, BUT AS WE HAVE SEEN IN 
THE KIRBY FREE A 
MAN CHARGED OF COOLING HIS 
PARENTS TONIGHT ON UP LATE. 
>>> WELL, THAT'S ALL THE TIME 
WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT ON 
PRIME TIME. 
FLIP OVER TO 11ALIVE RIGHT NOW 
FOR MORE NEWS AND WEATHER ON 
11ALIVE.
