county. until this morning, places like nail salons and gyms were open for weeks. but san mateo was the last bay area county to be added to the state's waft list this past week and after staying on it three days, this is now the result. the only way businesses can stay open is to move operations outdoors. abc 7 news reporter kris reyes spoke to owners get the news for the very first time. >> the customers are calling us, "are you going to be open saturday, it says you have to close at midnight." we're like, "we don't know, we haven't been told yet." >> reporter: that was at 5:00 p.m. we met kathy as she met with a client, not knowing whether that would be her last for now. >> we called me saying, we may not be there, we may be, we don't know yet. >> if we had known on thursday, we could have gotten our clients in. that's the frustrating part. >> reporter: we also had to

up, keep positive, keep looking for the future. >> reporter: back in pleasanton, stylists say they're drafting a letter of intent asking county officials to let them reopen. if the answer is no, they're preparing to open anyway in two weeks. the sheriff's department says salons are at risk of having their licenses revoked. as far as enforcing it goes, the sheriff's department says it has other priorities these days. cornell barnard, abc 7 news. >> check out where your county stands on the state's watch list with our interactive feature at abc7news.com. the map shows you how long each area has been on the list and why the state is keeping an eye on the spread of coronavirus where you live. hospitalizations are rising in 35 states plus washington, d.c. and puerto rico. the number of deaths continue to increase as well. this comes as the total cases in the u.s. tops 4.6 million. abc news reporter trevor ault has more. >> reporter: this morning, as the cdc makes a gruesome estimate of as many as 182,000

welcome back. breaking news this morning, seven marines and one sailor are presumed dead after their amphibious assault vehicle sank during a training exercise. the marines have called off the search for those eight service members. the tank-like craft went underwater on thursday off san clemente island west of san diego near camp pendleton. eight other marines were rescued but one later died and two are in critical condition. the cause of the accident has not been determined. new developments on a deadly situation in the south bay. police in campbell say one man is dead in what they're investigating as an attempted murder-suicide. it all started around 7:30 last night in a home.

for three hours, their longest meeting of the week. >> it was more productive than the other meetings. there are many issues that are still very much outstanding. >> i want to be clear, there's still a lot of open issues. but again, i think it was the most constructive meeting we've had. >> reporter: at stake, millions on the verge of losing their homes after the c.a.r.e.s. action evictio moratorium ended and the end of that $600 a week unemployment benefit. lynette hall is preparing to move out of her home in colorado. she knows she can't make the rent. >> what are you going to do? >> i don't know. >> reporter: anger boiling over. many upset a deal hasn't happened yet. >> you have an obligation to the american people to not just leave us out to dry to fend for ourselves. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden firing back in a statement, because donald trump is abdicating his responsibility, we now face a potential housing crisis across the country.

there will be staff meetings again on this issue today. and all the main players will pick negotiations back up tomorrow. alex presha, abc news, washington. >> nancy pelosi had strong words on abc news this morning about white house coronavirus task force coordinator dr. birx. >> i think the white house is spreading disinformation on the virus and she is his appointee. so i don't have confidence there, no. >> speaker pelosi puts the blame on the deadlock in negotiations on the next relief bill on president trump and republicans. she says democrats want to continue $600 weekly checks until january but senate republicans propose $200 per week arguing the increased assistance is keeping some people from returning to work. pelosi says $200 doesn't meet the needs of america's families. happening today, two history-making nasa astronauts will splash down at home here on earth after docking from the

international space station hours ago. >> "dragon spacex" separation confirmed. >> they're the first two astronauts launched by elon musk's spacex. they're set to splash down at 11:45 our time this morning, the first splashdown for astronauts in 45 years. they have 48 hours of oxygen and hey near a nearby tropical storm to contend with. >> the teams are working hard especially with the dynamics of weather around florida over the next few days. we appreciate those efforts because i know and that work isn't easy. >> right now the weather is looking most favorable off the west coast of pensacola. the dinosaurs will be bringing home to that now-famous glitter dinosaur chosen by their sons, what a fun adventure for that dinosaur. lisa, now it's a tropical storm, no longer a hurricane, hopefully

it will be okay for them. >> that's right, the gulf coast is in good shape along the eastern part of florida not so much. we're looking at the tropical storm not only influencing florida but it's got another 36 hours to go before it makes landfall, perhaps, as a tropical storm for sure but perhaps along the carolinas from north to south. we'll show that you in just a moment. right now, doppler 7 shows fog a little more extensive than yesterday. it's up in the north bay, into the east bay, and you can see it out towards 80. down the peninsula it's just about cleared in san jose and also across into concord and livermore. but here is the way it's set up. it's been this way all summer long. so you know the drill. it will get sunny and breezy along the coast. outer rain bands are already affecting florida. you can see it looks pretty ragged, but we will see this continue to stay as a tropical storm. and so that means it's going to be sending a lashing with a

storm surge of two to four feet perhaps right along here. some flooding rains. and then it's going to track not only up through the carolinas, the mid-atlantic, it's going to go all the way up to the northeast and hold on to those tropical characteristics. that means lots of rain here and wind. and certainly the beachgoers should be advised of that with heavy surf as well. it's lot a long track ahead of it. it's holding together with those 65-mile-per-hour winds. sfo with cloud cover, and a little bit of sun is coming through here. we'll get into the mid-70s later today with sunshine. it's 55 in san francisco, 66 in mountain view, 65 in gilroy. still cool, 57, partial sun, half moon bay later on today. mt. contaminatam, you can see se fog scattering out nicely, north wind in our upper elevations, allowing for the warm day to feel the effects of the warming.

56 in santa rosa. elsewhere, we're looking at the winds here in the upper elevations to be out of the north here from mt. tam. you can see light winds here and that's the key, whether they're light and to the north, will help evaporate this fog. but overall, the sea breeze returns. and that's why this isn't going too far. it erodes back to the coast, coming back in. the wide range of temperatures today and tomorrow, 60s to 90s, perhaps 34-degree spread. then a trough to the north once again cools us off mid-week. here is the plan with the fog. you can see temporarily we'll clear, but then it comes back. monday afternoon we'll get some sun and little change to start the week. and we'll look at those winds today, looking pretty breezy but not too bad. today is warmer than tomorrow because tomorrow those winds are going to crank up a bit. overall, we're looking at the coolest days here, tuesday and wednesday, well below average.

we're talking some mist and drizzle as well. 79 fremont, 91 in santa rosa. accuweather seven-day forecast, bright and breezy today with that summer spread tomorrow. the cooldown, then a slight warm-up, liz. >> lisa, thank you, sounds good. ahead, how do you rebuild paradise? >> oh, my god. >> i need an ambulance immediately. >> we are 100% surrounded by fire, it's everywhere. >> the new documentary out this morning on the deadliest wildfire in california history. hear why director ron howard says he has a personal connection.

developing news in southern california where flames have burned at least 15,000 acres. this is video of the apple fire burning in riverside county. a strike team made up of firefighters from alameda county left this morning to help battle the flames. the fire is at zero percent containment. so far no reports of any injuries. the deadliest wildfire in california history is in the spotlight in a new documentary now streaming on national agree geographic. the camp fire killed 85 people and destroyed 14,000 homes in paradise. titled "rebuilding paradise," the film is a story of resilience in the face of tragedy. it shows the community coming together to recover what was lost and begin the important task of rebuilding. oscar-winning director ron howard whose mother-in-law lived in paradise for some time said he was flabbergasted and

depressed after returning from seeing the damage for the first time. >> how are they going to come back from this? this region has seen so many body blows, death blows, how do you respond and recover? the idea of rebuilding paradise became the question, can it even rebuild? >> the film was released on friday and disney is the parent company of both national geographic and abc 7. of course the camp,fi fire is si very fresh for many of us. next, a young boy named theo homeless at the age of 7 in the bay area and living in a tent.

it's a picture that's worth a thousand words. his mother calls 7-year-old theo

her hero. we're talking this morning to the people who brought his story to life. good morning, everybody, we'll have that interviw in just a moment. first let's get another look at the bay area forecast with lisa argen. hey, lisa. >> hey, liz, good morning to you. cloudy here, our exploratorium camera shows you that. another two to three hours, and we'll get some sun. we're looking at temperatures that are pretty seenasonal. 63 in san jose. there's a feathered friend there enjoying the view. 55 in san it is 68 in mountain view. look how still it is from our roof camera. with the clouds around, it's in the 50s in the north bay. sun is shining in the east bay, low to mid-50s. the next several hours, the fog pulls back. we've got 60s and 70s for most by 10:00. 2:00, it's more 70s and 80s, even a few 90s appearing. if you like the warm weather,

you'll like monday. but boy, it's going to get pretty cool around here mid-week. i'll detail that for you, next. as we work to build a better bay area, part of that is working to combat issues of homelessness and finding ways to achieve affordable housing. those are two critical issues in creating an economy that works for all of us. you likely saw this photo over the past week. it's part of a stunning story from "the san francisco chronicle" about a young boy named theo in berkeley, living in a tent. i spoke with the reporter and photographer about the story and what can be done to help. with me now is journalist gabrielle lurie and reporter sarah ravani. thank you both so much to talk about your truly heartbreaking story. you just want to give theo a giant hug after reading this story. gabrielle, talk a little bit about how you even found theo, who he is, and his story. >> hi, yes, thank you for having me. i was working with sarah on a

story about the rvs in berkeley. and i saw a kid on a scooter scoot right behind me. i thought, he can't be living here, can he? i started asking a couple of people who i was photographing, hey, does he leave nearby? they said, yeah, actually he lives in a tent. i was shocked. i said to myself, that can't be. i went over and talked to them and they were so friendly. they showed me the inside of their tent. they told me their story of how they ended up there. and i asked them if i could spend time with them and they were very open to it. and so from there on out, i spent -- we've spent a year kind of chronicling what their life is like and their struggles. >> and sarah, i think a lot of people who read this story are seeing this right now, like myself, questioning how this can even be when there are so many resources out there to help. why is it that theo is still out on the street and how many children in our community are also living like this? >> so theo and his mom have been homeless since he was born.

it's a series of issues that have kind of come up for them. his mom is a domestic violence survivor and his father has been in and out of jail. so they've had a very tumultuous relationship. it kind of moved from place to place, hotels, rvs. then their rvs was towed in 2018. that was kind of the last consistent place that theo had a roof over his head. and so ever since then him and his mom have been living in tents and in hotels throughout berkeley. homeless children are unique. they are rare. but they do exist. i mean, you can drive through oakland and you see children living with their parents in rvs. gabrielle and i, we've done stories on homelessness before. but we've never seen a child living in a tent. and so that's really what struck us.

and, you know, berkeley's homeless data show that there are no families with children who are unsheltered. but theo still exists, so it really kind of lends this unique look to his vulnerability as well. he's invisible even though people know he exists. >> interesting, absolutely. and gabrielle, your photos are stunning. walk us through some of these intimate moments you captured in theo's life. >> yeah, so i really wanted to get him just as a kid and not just as someone who is homeless. so i kind of went between him and his tent, and his reality being homeless and what it's like for a child to be homeless. but also him playing. so him flying a kite with his mom or, you know, on her back when he's tired or playing in his hammock, becaus for him he kind of creates these worlds for himself. and he doesn't just kind of get

down on being homeless. he actually doesn't talk about it very much. the picture of him in the hammock, he loves his hammock, he likes to sit there and read or listen to music. and, you know, there was a young girl who asked him, oh, is that where you live, over there, and he's like, yeah, that's where i live. she says, do you like it? and he's like, no, but i love my hammock. so he creates a world for himself. he goes crayfishing in the creek nearby and roasts marshmallows. he uses his imagination to just be a kid. and so i was hoping to show that through the images. >> that definitely came through. and i think also what came through is that he does seem very loved. and so sarah, how is theo doing right now especially with the new school year about to start and distance learning of course being a huge concern? >> i think that's a huge question. you know, distance learning, the

idea of having just reliable internet is not something that they have, right? like maybe they can get internet from a nearby cafe. but when they're living on the streets, there's no internet connection. when they were in hotels, that was possible. but school also gave him such a structure, you know, he went every single day. he had his friends, he was engaged. so i think that's a really -- you know, it's a really hard thing to swallow now, distance learning, what to do, what the next year will look like, which i think a lot of parents are facing as well, but it's a heightened level for him, being out on the street. >> absolutely. gab g gabrielle, what's the been the reaction since this was published and how can people help? >> people have loved the piece, it's resonated. i think no one wants to see a kid outside.

he's so endearing, and he truly is, he's a very special, imaginative boy who we've really grown to love. i think the best way people can help is either through the gofundme link or, you know, if they have, you know, some connection to housing or an extra space, i think that would probably be the best for them, because we want them to be sheltered. that's our ultimate goal. >> absolutely. and i hope you guys, i think you might, continue to follow his story over the next coming years and we hope to see followups from both of you. gabrielle lurie, and sarah ravani, from "the san francisco chronicle," thank you so much for coming on and talking about this. i hope everyone checks out your story on "the chronicle" website and we'll post a link on abc7news.com. >> thank you. >> and that story is on our home page right now. ahead on "abc 7 mornings," how to be a disease detective.

how to slow the spread of coronavirus. and a live look from our golden gate bridge camera there, still quite foggy and gray this morning. this isn't about today. it's about the next 10 years. but this is something you can do today. you can make a difference today. by completing the 2020 census. the census impacts hospitals. schools. public transportation. and most importantly, our representation in government. it gives us an opportunity to be heard. it's easy. it's only 10 questions. so do you part. go to 2020census.gov and complete the census today. what are you waiting for?

could be used by chinese leadership to gain access to users' data. >> we've heard your outpouring of support and we want to say thank you. we're not planning on going anywhere. we're hear for the long run and continue to share your voice here and let's stand for tiktok. >> microsoft has not yet officially commented on a possible move to purchase the u.s. side of the app. san francisco's public library will launch a program to let people borrow and return materials on a pickup and drop-off basis. the program will debut august 10 at the main library at civic center. borrowers can request materials online and will be able to pick up items and return them at select locations. hundreds of children have new supplies to start the school year thanks to the generosity of ohers on the peninsula. families lined up inside their cars for a backpack giveaway at

the san mateo event center. this was organized, again, on saturday. the charity's ceo explained how the pandemic has made buying basic supplies harder for low income families here in this video provided by samaritan house. >> this year, there are no-income families, so this is critically important for these children. not only would they not get the supplies from the schools but this is also their desk, their way of organizing their homework. >> samaritan house also tells us its food pantry is serving more families than usual and you can blame that on the economic hardships spurred by covid-19. lisa, it is that time of year, we're weeks away, or days away for some to back to school. >> that's right, and as we look live outside from our roof camera, you'll notice it is pretty gray, pretty typical. no wind yet.

our kids, which will be amazing during this time. hopefully we'll get a decision what will happen. it's been together for 40 days, it's been great but i would prefer to see my family rather than seeing tommy thompson every day. >> after reportedly threatening to shut down the season, the baseball commissioner backtracked and said there's no reason to quit now. no such issues on the west coast, a's looking to stop their three-game losing streak. pacific northwest in august, what a beautiful sight, nearly unbeatable heavy a's offense looking unbeatable until chad pinder connects. we're tied up at 2. bottom nine, bases loaded with one out in the ninth. a strikeout to get out of the jam and we go to extras. that new rule, remember, top
