challenging to actually respond to all the calls for service, captain paez said. >> they had a strategic deployment, sending officers to areas that were problematic last year, but this time ahead of the fourth this year, what we did is we actually were proactive and responded to those areas before they're able to set up regarding arrests, oakland said they arrested seven people. santa clara county sheriff said no arrests or citations were given out. santa rosa police said 22 arrests were made. we contacted sfpd asking about their numbers. we're still waiting to hear back. the city's health department did confirm zuckerberg, san francisco general hospital received eight patients from july third to the fifth, with blast injuries from fireworks to the face and hands, this resident wants police to do more. she left town with her dogs knowing this would happen. >> it's sort of like a bomb to them. >> fire danger was of high concern throughout the bay area in contra costa county. the fire department received 1100 calls for service and reported 310

6:17 pm
up into the mid 90s. tomorrow we're going to drop you down into the upper 80s to low 90s. as we look at high pressure live doppler seven, high pressure is taking kind of a back seat here in the bay area allowing that marine influence to come in, but it's going to rebuild. and when it does, starting middle of this week, you're going to notice the heat returning the intensity of the heat returning on live doppler seven, we certainly have the fog along the coast. it's already started to move over across parts of the bay from our pier 39 camera. pretty socked in san francisco, 60 degrees 67. in oakland it is in the 80s around places like san jose, redwood city, 78 and 57, in half moon bay from our east bay hills. camera you can see the marine layer way in the distance there. 74 in santa rosa, 68 in petaluma. you're in the 80s around fairfield, 92 though in concord. and one other live picture from our sfo camera. certainly clouds are stacked up overnight tonight. the fog expands across the bay. it will push into some of our valleys by

area right now, and health experts expect that trend to continue. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley dug into the strategies that might help you skip getting sick from the new variant that they're calling flirt. >> we're playing a better game of covid roulette. that is one that's more in our favor now than it was four years ago. >> so how to best hedge your bets against this new covid variant called flirt? for starters, data from wastewater samples like what's displayed in this graph from santa clara county shows we're experiencing
6:30 pm
a new peak of activity here in the bay area. covid is spreadin, wastewater is our sort of early, early warning system. >> it's the best we have. >> if you have cold or flu symptoms. now, consider this the tests that we buy over the counter, the tests that we get our doctor's offices or at the pharmacy, they work very well for these flirt variants. as for masking up, i go out and about to my shopping in berkeley, uh- when i'm on planes or in airports these days, >> it's a very small percentage of people who are wearing masks, so i would estimate it at 5. >> the experts agree wearing a good mask does reduce your risk, but it's no guarantee there are vaccines to consider. according to the cdc, the 2324 version of the vaccine can increase protection against symptomatic illness by 54. even with the new variant, very few people got it in california, only 36% of seniors are up to date on the
6:31 pm
latest vaccine and only 10% of adults under 50. the 20 2425 version should be available by september. but should you get a vaccine now? it depends on your health, your plans and underlying conditions. just keep in mind you have to wait a minimum of four months between vaccines. >> i'm probably going to wait until the new variant booster whenever that becomes available. i'll be one of the first in line, just like the flu, the peak season for covid this year is expected to be late fall and winter. >> despite all the cases circulating now in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> second gentleman doug emhoff tested positive for covid on saturday. he's vice president kamala harris husband. emhoff was just at the white house a few days ago, celebrating independence day with harris, president biden and first lady jill biden. harris tested negative and has no symptoms. president biden is on the defensive, working to claim calm concerns over his ability to run

and win the election against former president trump reporter rob hayes. from our sister station in los angeles looks at biden's efforts and their impac. >> president biden, still confident he has the support and votes to beat donald trump, doing a phone interview on msnbc this morning. >> all the data shows that the average democrat out there who voted the 14 million of them that voted for me still want me to be the nominee. >> biden sending that message to congressional democrats today in a letter writing, we have one job and that is to beat donald trump. any weakening of resolve or lack of clarity about the task ahead only helps trump and hurts us. california representative brad sherman is pushing for biden to take on more challenging interviews to give democrats an idea how he'd fare against trump in the next debate. >> we've got a president who's done an outstanding job for three years. the voters voted for the president they saw for the first three years. uh- we have to assure ourselves that
6:33 pm
it's different from the president. we saw for those 90 minutes in the debate. >> trump, meanwhile, has been relatively quiet as democrats continue to question their own nominee. the former president did post a vulgar video online last week, falsely saying biden is leaving the race and then bashing vice president kamala harris. >> she's so bad. you're so pathetic. it's so amazing. it's just so bad. >> harris this weekend, pointing out how trump could take advantage of the latest supreme court ruling. >> the united states supreme court essentially told this individual, who has been convicted of 34 felonies, that he will be immune from essentially the activity. he has told us he is prepared to engage in if he gets back into the white house. >> trump, also trying to distance himself from the far right 900 plus page project 2025. trump has denied knowing anything about it. even republicans are warning it will be the blueprint for a second trump presidency. >> no amount of distancing by
6:34 pm
donald trump should be believed because the authors and the collaborators are all part of this operation that's been behind him from even the first terms of this administration. >> so how can they deny that? >> also today, the white house confirmed that president biden is not being treated for parkinson's disease and that he's only seen a neurology specialist three times during his annual physicals in the newsroom. rob hayes, abc seven news. >> the half hour special featuring joe biden in an exclusive interview with abc news anchor george stephanopoulos, was the most watched program on abc seven news last friday, and now it's available to stream on demand on abc seven news.com and our abc seven bay area app. >> longtime bay area congressman john garamendi says he's undergoing treatment for a form of blood cancer with the benefit of early detection and excellent doctors. >> the love and support of patty and my entire family, the help of my extraordinary staff and colleagues in congress. i know
6:35 pm
that i'll get through this while continuing to serve my extraordinary constituents. >> garamendi represents parts of contra costa and solano counties. he says the outpatient treatment is expected to last a few months. the 79 year old plans to continue with his congressional duties during that time, but he'll limit his travel to washington and cut back on public appearances and events. and oakland rabbi is speaking out after his synagogue was vandalized not once but twice in the past three weeks. oakland police now saying the incidents are under investigation as potential hate crimes. abc seven news reporter ryan curry spoke to the rabbi, who hopes more will be done to protect the jewish community from anti-semitic attacks. >> you can hear the large bang the moment this person throws a giant rock at the chabad center in oakland, but this wasn't the only time. twice in recent week, someone came by and threw a rock at their window. that's where the impact was, and you can see the cracks going throughout the

6:37 pm
when someone destroyed his congregation's menorah and threw it into lake merritt. the rabbi did speak with oakland police this afternoon. police told him they are looking into it. >> they promised to be on the case to do whatever they could. they started canvasing. we're hoping that they'll be on top of it and we'll see. and we're hopeful. but actions speak louder than words. >> we reached out to oakland police and we haven't heard back yet. each panel of glass, the rabbi says, will cost at least $10,000 to fix. the rocks that were thrown are on display. rabbi lebkowsky says he will use them in a future building project. >> we're going to build with it instead of, you know, as a dark and negative act of vandalism or anti-semitism. we're going to turn it into something positive and we're going to use it. >> the rabbi understands tensions are high, but he thinks there is no need for violence like this in oakland. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> the man charged with murder for the death of a woman at a bart station still has not made his first court appearance. it's been delayed twice because he's not well enough to attend. another attempt is scheduled for
