if a co-worker tests posit posio you should know about. i our reporter is live with a report you'll see only on abc7. dan? >> reporter: dan, those workers are concerned about how safeaway is handling those who get sick and how they are preventing further infections. an employee in orinda became sick after testing positive. his last day of work, july there have been multiple cycles of cleaning but customers are wary. >> that makes me not want to shop here. >> reporter: the customers i met did not know they could have had contact with an infected employee until i told them. >> i probably would have gone a different place. >> reporter: it's understandable. it happens. you should let people know.

>> now i know i've been in a location where someone has tested positive. >> reporter: this safeway employee said the managers failed to tell the staff in a timely manner and only confirmed the covid-19 case after being confronted by a group of employees who heard it from the infected person. >> reporter: did the manager say anything about not telling other employees or keeping it quiet? >> i'm not supposed to tell. >> reporter: the manager said that. >> yes. >> reporter: she said many have still not heard about it from managers. they have to rely on the rumor mill to make important decisions. >> reporter: i reached the store manager by phone but she hung up on me and safeway spokesperson wendy did not agree to an oncamera interview but e-mailed, we have confirm that employees

have tested positive and we are not aware of any manager telling employees to keep quiet. they are on paid quarantine leave adding, throughout this pandemic, the health and safety of everyone who walks through our doors has been our top priority. united food and commercial workers represents many safeway employees and the president of the political article tells me, informing employees is essential. >> the employees need to know, we believe the unit needs to know, we believe the public health departments needs to know. there needs to be proper notification so this can be contact tracing. >> i'm number one on our agenda. >> reporter: it would make it a law the companies must provide written notice of a positive case to employees and their union within 24 hours. reported to state and hoke health departments and cal osha, failing to report would be a misdemeanor crime, punishable by

a $10,000 fine. the number of covid cases reported by any work place would be made public. a variety of trade groups oppose it because of being overly vague. but the sponsor of the bill tells me, it is necessary to protect workers. especially those on the front line. >> it cannot be one industry or one particular group. every single employee has a right to know they've been exposed so they can protect themselves, the family and the public. >> reporter: the bill passed 4-1 late this afternoon. it has one more hearing before going to the governor's desk. i'll have more on important links on this issue at abc7news.com. for the i-team, dan noyes. as we work to build a better bay area, when will we get a coronavirus vaccine? experts say it could be months or more than a year away.

in that time more surges are expected. a top epidemiologist says california should brace for what he's calling a third wave. liz is live with the details. >> reporter: dr. ruther foerds spoke to reporters today and he was pretty blunt. he said it is pretty much inevitable that we will see a third wave or surge before we get a vaccine, a vaccine we'll be lucky to get by the end of the year. brace for yet another wave of coronavirus. that's the message from dr. george rutherford, the top epidemiologist. >> i don't think we'll get back to a true baseline. we're really at the end of a second wave. we'll see it go back down a little bit before it goes back up again. >> reporter: some experts say california has never made it out of the first wave, he said he sees these surges as waves. given how widespread the virus is, it is inevitable we will see a third one. >> specially as we start letting

adolescents into school. i think we'll start seeing bounces from that. >> reporter: the biggest question marshall, when will we get a vaccine? there are more than 100 in development around the world, including major trials in the u.s. this doctor said it is really hard to say when any of these might be ready. the ones farthest along are just now enrolling participant in phase three trials. >> depending on how fast they can deliver them to the participant and the frequency where they reside and circulate, those will determine when we know if the vaccine protects humans from disease. >> reporter: dr. fauci said a vaccine could come by the end of the year. dr. ernest believes that's the best case scenario. >> it is certainly on the optimistic he said of the spectrum.

>> reporter: the worst case, 2022. >> i think it will be sooner than that. it is easy to say, let's split the difference somewhere between dr. fauci's optimism and the vaccine trial's conservative estimate. >> reporter: and of course, there are also ethical consideration that's may in. who will be the first to get a vaccine? you know, if it does to go medical and other essential workers first, that's about 12 million people. so the doctor is saying some people will have to be prioritized even within that. it is quite the challenge. abc7 news. >> still a hlong way to go. let's turn now to california. the state acknowledges this is a problem with the data. these are the latest numbers as reported by the state department of health. the number of new cases is well below average and the test positivity race, the percentage of coronavirus tests coming back

positive is much lower than we've seen for a long time. those numbers may not be accurate due to underreporting. hospitalizations are also below average. the number of deaths is near a record high. more than 200 people lost their lives in the past 24 hours. so with that as a back drop, with deaths on the rise, local health officials are raising serious concerns about the discrepancies in the state's data reporting system. >> reporter: tonight growing concerns after officials discovered a glitch with cal ready, the state's covid-19 reporting system. >> we're back to feeling blind. we don't know how the epidemic is trending. >> reporter: a frank assess many from the county health office here explained why that data from the state is so creghn economies including businesses and schools. >> we are very anxious for this issue to get resolved. we speck that all these numbers will go up to what extent, we

don't know. >> reporter: so far the governor hand said much about the problem. however, dr. mark galley, the state's top health official, shared this during a reason briefing. >> there is a specific component that feeds information from labs to both the state system and the local public health system that may actually be the place where data is getting stuck. >> reporter: for now the state doesn't believe the number of deaths or hospitalizations are impacted precipitation those stats are reported separately. in santa clara company, the two categories appear to be steady. but health officials say cases are on the rise among people under the age of thrive. >> while they themselves are at much lower risk of dying, or suffering severe complications from sars covid 2 infection, they are certainly capable of spreading the disease to people in their family or others that they come into contact with. >> reporter: the push to wear face coverings, more important than ever before. for those who choose not to follow the rules -- >> it should not feel right.

it should feel like being in a car without a seatbelt. you must wear your face coverings any time you're outside your home. >> reporter: some suggesting that those in multigenerational households consider taking extra precaution even inside their homes. >> either a separate room, or mask wearing by members of the family, for example, that might be out of the house more doing essential work. that would add protection for vulnerable family members. >> reporter: covid-19 still very much a threat and widely sirg lating in our community. abc7 news. alameda county has the most cases of any bay area county and the highest concentration is in oakland. today we asked the oakland mayor libby schaaf about what is being done to reduce >> we have tried to be

compassionate. we began enforcing against illegal vending this weekend. we discovered vendors from out of our area advertising online they would be selling cocktails at lake merit. that's not cool. for people to profit at the expense of public health deserves enforcement and fines. they want to have a safe place to do business as well as encourage people to shop online. stun state lawmakers sent a letter to governor newsom asking for immediate reforms at the develop many department. the letter says as californians wait for answers from edd, they have demeted their life savings, have gone into extreme debt and panic as they figure out how to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. the governor appointed a strike

homeless people. timing shelter for them has proven difficult. but now there is a solution, putting them up in. >> reporter: in the quiet town, the news caught everyone by surprise. even kelly who runs a coffee house right next door to ground zero. >> the first reaction was muir shock. >> reporter: that they might be filled with the homeless. sonoma county is considering buying the place and turning it into a shelter. >> fundamentally, i think this is about stepping up and saying yes to >> reporter: she will not hear the words not in my backyard coming from her. >> homeless people are fundamentally people. >> reporter: it would tap into the $1.3 billion set aside by the state of california to help cities and counties by turn key ready hotels, motels and

apartments for homeless people in need. and sonoma county does have a problem. >> he wish they would have contacted the people who work here as well as the property owners and ye th w ce. >> rorr:ot that kelly or others nearby are completely opposed. >> sebastopol is a haven for for compassionate people. >> reporter: their major concern, what kind of homeless will be living next door in. >> definitely a threat. you don't know. >> reporter: the county says no drug addicts, no violent people. they would be the hand picked most vulnerable homeless over age 65. that sits better most locals. >> you want homeless seniors on the street? >> reporter: the county continues formal discussions tomorrow. the informal discussions ongoing. >> i wouldn't want a homeless shelter right next to where i live but i think it is great here. >> reporter: abc7 news.

police and fire responded for what was initially reported as a hazmat situation. phil wrote in his column, it was actually an illegal meth lab cooked up by some motel residents. it is one of dozens being released to provide the homeless somewhere to she will in place during the pandemic. and phil joins us live. do you think maybe they had a clue that something like the could happen? >> they were braced for the possible idea of drug useful but drug manufacturing? that was not on the idea list at all. it underscores, if you're going to take people off the streets, sometimes they bring the street with them. in san francisco, some 2500

people have been moved from tents to hotels during the viral epidemic. as part of a health issue and a way to get them off the streets and sidewalks. sometimes they bring their challenges, addictions and challenges with them. this was a case where they not only brought with it them. they turned it into a whole new idea. the idea of a meth lab set up in one of these things, and there are a lot of questions. how could it get that far? there's supposed to be room checks and wellness chegs. this is not supposed to be discovered with smoke and chemical smells start coming out of the room and alert everybody around the neighborhood. >> yeah. there will be an investigation, no doubt. and of course, we should point out. meth labs are very dangerous. they can explode. there are still a lot of tents out on city streets. so it didn't alleviate the problem.

some of them went into sanctioned sleeping areas which were parking lots. some of the surrounding bay area counties cratered with the shutdown. we had huge numbers of hotel rooms that were available. te others, they said we'll take people who need to be quarantined off the streets. that grew into the idea of taking homeless off and putting them into hotels as the first step toward a longer solution which would be to put them in a assume advised housing. the problem is we've all known, we talked about while trying to build a better bay area. building new housing is often a difficult, expensive and long time consuming project. as wayne just showed us, something like a hotel, you turn it over. you take lock. you open it up. you don't have the hearings, the zoning, you just go in and set

it up. a very tempting short gap solution. >> all right. so if there isn't much of a solution than a hole, what will happen as the hotels begin to need to go back to other people when the pandemic subsides? what will happen then? >> well, if san francisco has its ways and these other counties have their ways, some of them will buy the hotels. it is not necessarily these hotels will open up and tourist there's come flocking in. some might lease them. with the help of federal money and new tax dollars, they're trying to pass some initiatives, the city wants the money to key them in the hotels until they get that next phase of building done and eventually be housing 1,200, 12,500, in which case you'll be paying a long time for it. that's just the way it goes.

this is one they know we might come out of pandemic. the tents came off the streets into the hotels and now it is a hotel situation going forward. >> now what? the day started out cloudy. in some parts of the bay ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

our focus this week is the topic of back to school. school districts throughout the bay area have been working through the summer to find solutions to this enormous challenge. students have been given laptops and hot spots. cities are installing free wi-fi in public spaces. that's all great, right? is it enough? >> as liz shows us, the digital divide goes much deeper than just owning a device. >> reporter: in marin city, kids are soaking up the final days of

summer. with the new school year looming, so are the concerns about going back to school remotely. >> internet access is a privilege. everybody don't have it. >> reporter: this organizer of the summer camp works with underprivileged kids where the median income is roughly a third of. in the surrounding areas. for months now he's seen how the pandemic has put an even greater spotlight on the so-called digital divide. the disparity between families that have access to technology and wi-fi and those who don't. paul says most of the 60s he mentors have been given chrome books from their schools but the dimming tal device is more than just getting a device. >> there are kids who don't grow up with them at home so they're not 100% confident of working a computer and all the functions of a computer. if they do log into it, don't pressure them to make sure that the video is on. they might not feel too comfortable showing what their home looks like.

>> reporter: these concerns only begin to scratch the surface that they face this fall as they work to make sure no student gets left behind. at oakland unified, over 70% of the students qualify for free lunches, they've raised 8.1 million. still it is no easy feat. they estimate half the students, roughly 25,000 kids, need some kind of connectivity or device. >> right now we have computers on order. hot spots on order. thousands of each. we're negotiating for broad band. we're doing everything we can to make sure. the supply and demand. the 25,000 new laptops are on back order. still, a chance some won't have one ready when the new school year starts. >> this is a herculean task. no question about it.

we're in a herculean world. is it the education they would get in school? no. there's no way around that. we are doing everything we can to make sure that it meets the standards they need. >> we talk to high school students who have been given devices from their schools. >> our school is a wealthy school. >> reporter: but stephanie who juggles school and a part-time job at target, she said even with the devices she fears the virtual education will be lacking and she won't be able to get the extra help. >> all of those students can get tutors. they can afford that and when school starts, we can't of the most of us, our parents don't know what we're learning. >> my parents weren't born here. they don't know half the stuff that i'll being taught.

so it is really hard to ask them for help when they don't even know it. >> reporter: throughout the spring, paul stepped up and created free makeshift learning pods that gave students a safe place to do their work and get support. he hopes the school districts step up and do the same. a solution to the digital divide that isn't digital. >> it will be hard for every kid but it will be harder for certain kids. that's the reality of it. we can't just turn a blind eye. we have to stand up for the kids who cannot stand up for themselves. >> and what could it look like? we put together an interactive guidancing that question. a bay area advocate said criticism of a tweet he sent out to a even thor was misdirected. it lit up social media when he posted a want ad guaranteeing a

teacher a one-year contract with a generous salary to teach two to seven children in a backyard. on top of that, he will reward whoever refers the hire with a $2,000 uber eats gift card. some parents and teachers have been deeply critical of that offer. he responded to some of that on the program, getting answers, saying his backyard micro school will be open to others as well for free. if somebody wants to contribute, that's fine. i can afford to do this. this has been going on a long time. i think people have given me credit for and it a hard time for it. it is easy the hate somebody like me who is a rich tech guy. >> emhe is going to send his kids back to public school once kids are safe enough. he also dismissed the notion that he's trying the break up

teacher's unions. every day he hosts a live show. cystin sze hosts this. you can take part online and watch it on television. >> jason is one parent turning to the alternative of private learning pods. >> it means families without the resources won't be able to set up these learning pods so that will contribute to these divides and potentially contribute to greater achievement games. real what we're trying to do is close the achievement gaps. >> the learning pods are created when parents join together and hire a teacher for a small group of children. san francisco is one district forming its own pods. joining in the conversation every day this week at 4:30. we're talking education live on tv as well as the abc7 news app, youtube and facebook. all week long we'll be hearing

the impact of covid-19 is being felt in chain stores. >> reporter: it's interesting. right now, many major retailers, especially the chains, are beginning to offer these amazingly generous return policies. but there's a catch. they might not last long. jennifer is shopping online like so many. us these days. the consumer author says stores wouldn't take returns at the beginning of the pandemic until safety protocols could be put in place. >> stores like walmart and costco, stub hub, retailers who are not doing a good job of explaining to customers how the return policy would work. >> reporter: now the proper cleaning protocols are in place, most of those stores, there is been a major shift. >> some stores like cosmetic stores, sephora, are giving you a year to return products. other stores are averaging between 30 and 90 days. probably double the am of time you're normally given.

>> reporter: despite that disputes over returns are at a high. monica is with charge back 911. a business to business company which helps resolve and prevent chargebacks. >> we've seen a massive increase. just since covid-19, the past few months, chargebacks have increased by over 25% industry wide. >> she said too many customers are filing disputes even before filing the retailer. >> that may be. not all stores have loosened the return policies. they're still refusing to take in store returns. a spokesperson said the return of food, payment goods, home cleaning supplies, launldsory so many, farmcy, health and beauty and apparel must be done online. customers unable to return online can wait until in-store returns are accepting and will have up to six weeks to make the

return. some travel companies have been reluctant, preferring to offer credit instead. still, she encourages customers to first contact the retailer before filing a chargeback. that's because with every chargeback, retailers are assessed a penalty. and that has put a strain on the bottom line. >> consumers are giving up freedoms and sometimes they're paying the result in a lower quality product. >> by the end of the month they may expire so make any returns and exchanges now while for sure the offers are still good. back to you. >> for those who are deaf, a struggle with a hearing loss, the challenges are often mupd.

feeling isolated. >> reporter: zoom doesn't offer captioning but several apples do and can transcribe what is being said on your screen. a big game changer are these masks with the see-through panel to make lip reading easier but even these are not perk. >> they're fogging up. that happens quite often. >> there it goes. i think it went on the floor. the technical operations manager is challenged with wearing a mask and a hearing aid. steppeders like this can help a lot. >> put it on like this. and it goes on the bottom. it doesn't go over the years. >> reporter: experts recommend insuring your hearing aids. they can be pricey to replace. and have a routine. >> i put on my glasses. then i put on my mask and then i put on my hearing aids.

investigators began searching through today. for what caused yesterday's massive explosion that killed at least 135 people and wounded about 5,000. the investigation is focused on how more than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate, a explosive kechemical, was used. that veo is just unbelievable. the blast was so powerful. it could be felt more than 150 miles away in cypress. it tossed cars and cam sized a docked passenger ship.

the reporter was in beirut when it happened. >> all of a sudden, everything starts shaking. we hear this double bang. before we could think of what to do next, everything exploded. >> you see the people walking there. just stunned. negligence was to blame. it was also captured on a bridal photo shoot. it was the most destructionive single explosion to ever hit lebanon. crews are building fire lines and having some success getting croft of the apple fire in banning. the fire started friday and has scorched nearly 43 square miles in riverside and san bernardino counties. the fire crews were able to rescue a dog from the front lines and reunite him with his family. cooler weather here keeps

the fire danger lower. our concerns have been diminished for a while with the big cooldown we've had. much cooler than average going into the evening hours. we'll have quite an increase in low clouds and fog. there will be more drizzle. we've had drizzle the last two or three nights and morning in addition row. overnight low temperatures will be mainly in the upper 50s. then tomorrow, it will warm up again. it won't be how. we'll see highs ranging from low 60s at the coast to low to mid 70s along the bayshore line. the warming will continue. it will be pretty toasty saturday and sundays with highs in the mid 90s. around 80 degrees. going into early next week, it

will be back in the seasonal range with no extreme heat. certainly no cooldown today. >> it will still be months before high schools resume in person but state health officials have okayed the resumption of pre season practices under specific guidelines. and schools are not the only things being affected. >> reporter: coronavirus means it will be december at the earliest that high school football resumes. that time frame is true for high school basketball and in beau sports, many schools have held off on grueling pre season practices lacking state health department guidelines to keep them safe. the california department of republican health released the guidelines this week. not only for school sports but club sports and recreational programs like the brentwood sea wolves swim team. >> it's not normal.

they're in the water. just to do physical exercise. >> the young athletes took part in swim camps during the summer but these are the first practices since the guidelines were handed down. the team or school must meet these criteria. practices must be outside. participant must be six feet apart. there must be a stable cohort of players and the team must get a waiver from the health department. the sea wolves were already doing some of these things. >> they're very, very similar. you have to stay in cohorts, take temperatures and we're more stringent in that we assign lanes. everybody doesn't change lanes. >> reporter: even with all the restrictions, they believe the workouts are good for the mental and physical well being of the 90 kids who take part. there's only one drawback. >> absolutely no meet, just practice. >> reporter: she said that probably means no meets before

2021 and even then, probably no spectators will be allowed in in person. >> not just the high school sports trying to figure out what to do. pro sports as well. larry? >> yeah. this is going to be an interesting football season for everybody to see if we can even get through one. rahim mostert. he never wanted to leave the 49ers but
