restrictive tier. it's not the news we want heading into the holidays. >> as we've seen reopening, which is anticipated we started to see more cases. >> like much of the country, cases are on the rise california and now 11 1 counti are moving into a restrictive tier. contra costa moved from orange into red meaning substantial spread. california's health and human services secretary dr. mark galley said most of the transmission is coming from high risk situations where masks are not worn the entire time. >> imagine multiple people at a small table playing a board game or having and sharing a meal. >> across the state, the 14-day positivity rate is 3. 7% up from 2.5%. you can see on this graph showing bay area covid cases going back to march, cases aren't yet where they were during the summer surge but there is a significant increase since mid october. >> we anticipate if things stay

[ laughter ] >> all right. >> save the date. we'll check in with spencer christian now. boy, it's getting chilly out there, spencer. >> it is chilly, kristen and larry. actually, a couple of degrees milder today than yesterday, but you probably didn't notice because it's not a big difference. let's take a look at current conditions. here is a view towards san francisco where it's 55 degrees. that's pretty chilly. san jose 62, 57 gilroy, 55 half moon bay looking down on san

francisco and ocean beach from mount tam. low 60s now,,,,, the view looking down on to san francisco from sutro tower. these are forecast features, chilly overnight but not quite so cold. nonetheless, frosty in the north bay. rain returns near the end of the week and we'll have an unsettled pattern from that point on through the weekend. overnight, we'll see a few clouds push up against the coastline and then sort of dissipate going into the overnight hours. so it will be partly cloudy for the morning commute and clouds will return to the coast especially south of the golden gate tomorrow evening. now, the frost advisory i mentioned earlier will be in effect from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. for most of the north bay and again, not quite so freezing cold as last night but low temperatures will drop into the low 30s, there will be patchy frost and good idea, i think, to

protect pets, pipes and plants. i'm going to go to specific lows, 42 san rafael, 33 santa rosa, 41 concord, 44 san jose. oakland will have a low of 46, san francisco low of 47. tomorrow under high clouds it will be clouds ranging mid 50s at the coast and 60 around the bay shoreline. most inland locations will top out at only about 60. we'll see low 60s in the north bay. on friday, we get our first wave of showers into saturday. this storm ranks one on the impact scale. light scattered showers starting in the north bay and moving southward, tapering off as they move southward. it will be breezy at times. here is the forecast animation. starting thursday afternoon and evening, taking us into friday morning we'll see the first wave of showers, they will sort of sweep on through friday and then redevelop friday night into early saturday and taper off on

saturday. leaving us rainfall totals that are not very impressive. generally a few hundredths of an inch but perhaps up to a quarter of an inch. here is the switeven-day foreca. showers continuing friday and saturday with unsettled weather into sunday. lingering clouds and early next week a little milder. temperatures will rise a few degrees but another chance for showers on tuesday of next week. it's beginning to look more like what we consider a typical unsettled winter pattern. larry and kristen? >> you just proved i'm insensitive, spencer. you need to raise it by like ten degrees before i start to feel it. two degrees, three degrees. >> exactly. >> thank you. all right. former giant is suing the owner and operator of oracle park basically the team itself. the st make your holidays happen...at ross! surprise! ahhh! yes! i love it! you don't have to spend a lot to give a lot to the ones who mean the most. you've got the holidays, and we've got you,

with the best bargains ever... ...at ross. yes for less! you've got the holidays, and we've got you, ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

yep! get the gifts you love... yesss! ... for everyone on your list. you've got the holidays, and we've got you...

with all the gift for less. at ross. yes for less! all right. testing the theory third time is a charm. here is dr. patel. can you hear me now, dr. patel? >> i can third time is the charm. it's 2020. no rules apply. >> that's absolutely true. glad we got you now because i want to dive deeper into the stanford study we talked about earlier. we know suggesting reducing crowds is huge but give us the sexu actual percentages cultitting t capacity and

>> the study is camp katomplica. they are looking what happens when you cut maximum occupancy from 50% to 25% or 25 to 10%, which is something we're way too familiar with in the bay area. the reason this is so important, this study isn't necessarily looking at human behavior on its own, it's looking at all these factors involved when you go to a place of interest or, you know, a place you have to go to, such as a grocery store, but they also included restaurants, bars, gyms, even car dealerships and the big variable that everyone needs to understand is this involves a place people will go throughout the day, how long they spend there and how many other people will be congregating there. not every business is created equal and every population has the same type of mobility. so it's a couple other factors for people to take into account. >> i was going to say, not all grocery stores are created equal. what did this finding or this study show about the s

economi can -- soes owe economic factor? >> some areas with a disadvantaged population, lower economic group may not have the same infrastructure in a place like a grocery store. perhaps not the same type of ventilation or people tend to have a smaller space they can't physically distance as well. that's something everyone can relate to if you go to a fancy huge grocery store versus than a smaller store. this is something to keep in mind as we talk about reopening because not all grocery stores are exactly the same. not all businesses -- you can't put a stamp on all businesses and say reduce the size from 50% to 25%. policy makers, public health officials have to pay closer attention to a specific neighborhood, patterns that people are going in and what the actual businesses look like. >> so given that, do you think san francisco's move today to eliminate indoor capacity and dining for now made good sense?

>> i think it makes sense given what we're talking about with this commuter model. if you're going to look at businesses that could be scaled back with regards to how long people are spending in there and other risk factors, you would put indoor establishments first like restaurants or gyms and the study found grocery stores actually had the lowest rate of spread in comparison to other businesses so those should stay at the came pa gpacity. it's still frustrating that we are still stuck right now, but i do think -- >> not even stuck, 11 california counties moved backward today in into a more restrictive tier. that is concerning. i want to talk about the pfizer vaccine. it showed it was 90% effective in preliminary data but dr. fauci today says maybe it could be widely available by the end of april. what do you know about the distribution plan and timeline? >> the timeline is kind of on point with what dr. fauci mentioned earlier.

pfizer themselves said they would be able to come up with millions of doses by the end of year and a little over a next year. ist -- it's important to understand in emergency use authorization doesn't mean you can run to a drugstore and get it. as far as distribution, i heard projections this will be widely available maybe next spring, early summer for everyone. but possibly later in winter or early toward next year this might be evavailable for anyone considered to be high risk. not necessarily everyone. so long story short, we have a long winter we have to get through without a widely distributed vaccine. >> so given that, is the possibility of that vaccine being hbe being on the horizon any reason to relax going into the holidays? >> it's not, unfortunately, a reason people can relax because again, we're still hitting this trajectory. we're seeing over 100,000 cases, 121,000 cases a day, more than 1,000 deaths per day in a

country. our trajectory is quickly rising in san francisco right now and so we still have the tools we need to do, think about what we mentioned with the stanford study and where you're going if you're spending times indoors and how long. those are the most important tools until we get to a vaccine. kristen, here is what it comes down to. when it's time to get the vaccine, we need to be in a much better place than we are now to make sure that we go and get the vaccine and we can get back to were no normal faster. >> so doctors orders, social distance and wear your mask. is that it? >> pretty sure we've been saying that since march but more and more studies say that's the best thing to do. you can still have a good holiday season while following the rules. it's all good. i believe in everyone. >> i get it. bee. very good. dr. patel, thank you so very much. we really appreciate that. >> thank you, kristen. i had to. all right. moving on. former giants outfielder

williamson filed a lawsuit against the owner and operator of oracle park arising from the concussion related injuries he suffered here. he stumbled over the left field bullpen mound and slid into the padded wall. williamson says his life has not been the same since suffering that injury and concussion, which he claims ended his career. >> everybody's career ends at some point but to have it taken from me because of the mounds, the bullpen mounds were unnecessary placed on the field is very hard to cope with. >> the giants moved the bullpens from foul territory to behind the center field wall that happened before this past season, and the team issued a statement saying williamson's claims shouldn't be resolved through courts but the collectively bargained grievance progress and workers compensation system. new signs of progress for san francisco's massive progress

abc news reporter elizabeth with more from washington. >> reporter: the question at stake for the nine justices is whether the affordable care act's individual mandate that requires americans to have health insurance is unconstitutional. two key conservative justices conceived it can. >> it does seal fairly clear the proper remedy would be sever the mandate and leave the rest of the act in place. >> reporter: brett kavanaugh and john roberts questioning the argument brought by the trump administration and 18 led republican states claiming the entire act should be struck down if the mandate is found to be be unconstitutional. he said it's not their job for something congress failed to do. >> hard to argue that congress intended the entire act to fall, it's a mandate were struck down when the same congress did not

even try to repeal the rest of the act. i think frankly, they wanted the court to do that but that's not our job. >> reporter: the newest justice amy coney barrett weighing in. >> you want us to treat it like it functionally was repealed but that's not what congress did. >> reporter: if roberts and kavanaugh join the court, they could rule in favor of keeping the bulk of obamacare in place. that would be welcome news for this woman whose 13-year-old son has a son that needs $7,000 a month in medical care. >> it's that coming to the decision of our finances versus his care. >> reporter: president elect joe biden defended the obama administration's signature achievement today saying the middle of a pandemic is not the time to put american's health care coverage at risk. >> this doesn't need to be a partisan issue. it's a human issue. >> reporter: president elect biden vowed to work with congress come january to expand health care protections under

all right. time for the four at 4:00. contra costa and santa cruz are being moved back into the red tier because of a surge of new covid-19 cases. it will mean fewer people allowed in gyms, restaurants and houses of worship to name a few. san francisco is in the yellow tier but rolling back as well. this is going to be especially tough for restaurants and bars struggling to make ends meet. the city says since october 2nd, there is a 250% increase in cases. no more indoor dining as of saturday. >> that's a shame, obviously for the restaurants. this may be a final nail in the coffin for a lot of them that have barely hung on to this point but we're in a really tough spot and as we've begun to reopen, we've seen cases rise and now a 250% increase and that's likely to continue, guys, as it continues to get colder, more people can't be outside.

they have to be inside. so it's a tough spot. >> can i just throw this out there? are we at the point with some industries like restaurants where the cure is worse than the disease? we have therapeutics we didn't have in march. i'm not sure the answer, this is a tough time to be doing this. >> so many hospitals are starting to become overwhelmed around the country. that's the big concern. >> yeah. all right. >> yeah. >> along with the surge of new -- >> i don't know if there is -- >> go ahead, spencer. >> yeah. >> no, i was just going to say -- >> i don't -- >> it is a tough time. no doubt. >> yeah, along with the surge of new cases, there are signs hoarding is making a come back, as well. this is the last thing we need. kroger started putting limits on toilet paper, disinfecting wipes and hand soap. clorox says it still hasn't been

that will be submitted to whole foods and who is going to determine whether it's truly beyond repair? i guess beyond repair but -- [ laughter ] >> there is no -- hope no one takes advantage of that offer. >> only 1,000 people eligible, though. right? >> >> i mean, the number is infinite. >> good point. there will be a lot of first time turkey cookers this year, probably. >> yes, yes, they have a perfectly fine bird and they are engaging in foul play. >> very good. >> oh. >> thanks. >> in the role of spencer tonight, kristen sze. >> yeah. >> let them eat salad.

[ laughter ] >> he would be good, actually. >> you know, it's a position i always dreamed of it but i think they'll probably want a younger person now than i am and you know what? i think it's going to be a woman. i really do. i think it will be a woman host.
