we'll talk about what it means for your health.

a smoky haze is sitting over the bay area. you're looking at pictures from foster city where you can see a lonely sailboat. i can barely make it out because of how thick haze is there. it doesn't seem to matter what part of bay area you're in. it was almost as bad as being right next to the fires.

a look at the health concerns as it continues on worsen. >> reporter: you're looking at a smoky, smoggy san jose. the air quality reading just as bad as it looks. >> i would say 150 is like living in a house with someone who smokes significantly. >> i wanted to show you what it looks like for myself with just a little activity. we are walking uphill, a few steps wearing a mask. already i'm catching my breath. huffing and puffing. even worse for people with medical conditions. >> reporter: dr. nelson has asthma and also treats it. she can tell you why she doesn't take chances on a day that looks like this. >> several years ago, i made the mistake of running during the 2017 fires. i was incredibly sick for months. >> it's bad. especially when you're running up and down.

you can't even breathe. >> a 10 to 20% uptick cynic it started in august and she wants to people to take it seriously. it is somewhere in the 140 to 150 range which is extremely dangerous. >> i took message to outdoor diners. >> this is the air quality right now in san jose. >> whoa! under healthy. i didn't know that. >> readjusted. 150 isn't so bad anymore. >> reporter: for the doctors we talked to, a serious warning. don't be outside at all if you have a serious condition. >> your asthma can worsen. i can get increased mucus in your lungs. >> you might smell it. you may not feel it but the cumulative over time does build up. >> you can get updates on the weather and fires any time, and

the air quality tracker on a webb lets you see the real-time data on monday. >> special correspondent, always great to have the doctor on board with us. how worried should we be about the bad air quality? >> we should definitely be worried. number one, there are significant short term markets. we need to worry about the long term effects. now in california and other parts of the country are seeing this happening again and again. it is very troubling. so people need to get used to looking at the air quality index. i have it pull up right here. and then make any necessary changes. chatting with the doctor and voting and making sure they're

doing their part to fight climate change. >> so what are the long term implications? since you mentioned the aqi, it is relatively new to most of us. what number would you say, i'm not going outside if it is above 150 or 200? from your own personal experience. >> great question. below 100, generally healthy air. below 50 is what we're looking for. between 100 to 200 is when you start to see people, especially those with underlying heart or lung diseases. they're at an increased risk. so are pregnant women, the elderly and babies. but anyone above 200, that's just dangerous air. above 300, they call that hazardous online. right now, between 100 and 200 is what we're seeing.

that can be dangerous for anyone. and one thing i have to make mention of. if you go outside, just because it doesn't smell smoky or you breathe it in, you're breathing in all this stuff from while fire smoke. benzine, carbon monday objectionize, and a paint thinner. it's in the air right now. >> that doesn't smell good. let's turn to covid now. we're in various stages of reopening and a lot of people, you may get a temperature check. if they're asymptomatic. they won't show a temperature over o100. what we're seeing in italy, france, spain, they're all seeing spikes. should we expect the numbers to go up? >> we should definitely be prepared for those number to go up. europe is seeing spikes, we're announcing an uptake in 27 states.

people are seeing reports in the midwest. this is a setting for a second wave. a lot of people are predicting this. and you know, if we pass the metrics to reopen restaurants, i'm not saying stay home. avoid everything. i think we have to be realistic. it doesn't mean you can't spread it. a study came out looking at people who lost taste and smell. and 80% had antibodies to the virus which causes covid-19. and 40% never had a fever or a cough. so you have to be really attuned to the fact this is reality. stay home if you have to. >> and wear a mask. it's not a political statement. every state should have a mask mandate. that will be a normal part of our lives. just get used to it and love it. >> i don't know about love it.

we can tolerate you. and have to deal with it for a while. as always, a pleasure. thank you for your time. >> at least make an emotional connection with your mask. it helps. >> okay. >> all right. it looks like i need to go mask shopping. the wait at the drive-through is getting a little longer.

to a game, 11,000 fans in the stadium if it were spread out? >> is that a quarter of the stadium capacity? >> pretty much. >> i'm sure you'll find once you're seated, it is more the transitions. getting to your seat. if you're trying to get food. the turnstile. i'm not sure. i feel like that's still a little high. quings dense, the a's won and i'm wearing green? i don't know, i don't know. ama? >> i don't know if it was a coincidence. i'm sure you helped a bit, kristen. i feel the same way. if i'm in my seat, i'm probably good. a lot of people spread out. you can wear your mask when you're wearing the concourse. i think i would feel a little anxiety if there were a lot of people on the concourse. that sort of thing. is this really worth it? i don't know. >> yeah. >> we're going to move on. i'm coming to you.

>> the average wait times are up 30% at national chains. the study found more americans are finding it safer and more convenient to pick up food from a drive-through atlanta during the covid-19 era. only two chains, mcdonald's and yum foods which owns kfc and taco bell saw lines actually drop. they are simplifying the men use, dropping some items. customers received faster service at chains that had digital boards at the drive-through. only 30 seconds? i feel like a longer wait. more than that. the increase? >> yeah. i think more people, absolutely, i think more people are going to the fast food places. there aren't too many places you can go to. in a pandemic, drive through, get your food. i don't go to fast food very often so i'm not there with you i see more cars. i think i think more than 30 seconds.

that's the increase. i feel like it is more than that. maybe i'm just ill patient. >> i would never say that about you. i'm trying to get my composure back after that. in and out? that it were 2:30, that would be a record. >> here's the thing. that's the only place we've been to as a fast food drive-through. i call it fast food. but the only, i feel like it is better than fast food. we went to go you this the drive-through, and realized they were letting people inside. so we're like, we're going to park and go in. we were the first people inline so we didn't even go through drive-through. >> amazing. amazing move. >> it's october 1st. if you haven't started, start thinking about halloween.

this year you can spend a night in hell. isn't that what 2020 is? the whole thing? we're talking about hell city in michigan. they can rent an air bnb for this hell on earth tiny home. it is being called the spookiest air bnb stay on earth. look at those people definitely they he is came? the mayor of the unincorporated town is offering his mayor's la irr for three nights only. you can be mayor for the day at a cost of $31 plus taxes and fees. would you like to be in charge mayor for the day in hell? >> that doesn't sound appealing. that sounds more like what you might be interested in, larry. >> it sounds like what my kids would describe when they were living at home.

when it came time for some tough love and discipline. kristen, how about you? >> why fly to michigan? we'll just pay $5 to come to larry's house. there you go. >> here we go. okay. we're even. we're even. >> shoppers trying on give workers a break. most americans don't plan to shop on the holiday and believe that retail workers deserve the day off. 76% of consumers said stores should stay closed on thanksgiving day. 75% said they plan to buy online. that's up from last year. most expected to spend b 540. a 15% drop from last year. amma, what do you think? how do you feel about thanksgiving shopping? >> i always feel like people should be able to spend time with their families. i'm not a thanksgiving shopper. i don't want the huge crowds.

i don't want to wait in hijack. that's not my thing. workers should be home with their families. i remember working at nordstrom and having to work during the holidays. it's not really fun for the employees. i know you usually do some holiday shopping around that time. what do you think? >> yeah, i feel bad for the workers. i will tell you that my mom's sister and i shop for years on black friday. it was more the festive environment, being around people. not necessarily getting a whole lot. we just had a great time. so i continued the tradition with my oldest daughter and i know she loves it. during a pandemic and considering that it is a tough time for so many, i think they should just do job line shopping this year. not in person so everyone can get a break. >> i'm greg, i'm 68 years old. i do motivational speaking

in addition to the substitute teaching. i honestly feel that that's my calling-- to give back to younger people. i think most adults will start realizing that they don't recall things as quickly as they used to or they don't remember things as vividly as they once did. i've been taking prevagen for about three years now. people say to me periodically, "man, you've got a memory like an elephant." it's really, really helped me tremendously. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. they do one of the most deven in normal times.s, our frontline health care workers. and when these heroes lack the resources they need, that risky job gets ten times harder. prop fifteen makes corporations pay their fair share. to invest in our communities, in our clinics, in the essential workers who treat everyone- rich, poor, and in-between. whether it's this pandemic or the next health crisis, vote yes on prop fifteen. for all of us.
