that's anywhere. >> we have to white-knuckle it until it's all clear. >> reporter: but white-knuckling is not easy, especially at christmas, when a county stay-at-home order conflicts with the concept of supporting your local business. they rarely work together. but here is one exception. barry lazarus is having his best quarter ever, selling old records to people stuck at home. >> they buy something and it makes them feel good. >> reporter: nothing to feel guilty about, just a lucky quirk to be a covid-proof business. wayne freedman, abc 7 news. >> union square in san francisco is packed with last-minute christmas shoppers. retailers are limiting how many people are allowed inside. that caused plenty of lines on the square. while some were buying gifts,

down the chimney and leave their presents. very nice of dr. fauci to make the trip. >> i wasn't worried. good morning, everyone. we're worried that we won't catch up on rainfall totals for the year. we have some systems queueing up but nothing that will scour out our deficit for this month, anyway. we have an historically wet january and february to look forward to. live doppler 7, we have fog to speak of. high pressure is dominating the weather pattern today into tomorrow. the first day of winter. as we look outside, nice and bright here, downtown 47, san francis francisco. 42 in san jose. 40 in morgan hill, half moon bay, 54. a gorgeous view at mt. tam, you can see haze, that's what happens when high pressure pushes down on the atmosphere, pollutants get trapped.

it makes for nice sunrises and sunsets, all due to the particulate matter out there. 44 in napa with numbers still pretty darn cold with fog by the delta, 41 in concord, and chilly at livermore. eighth of a mile visibility, dense fog advisory through 11:00, maybe 12:00, three-quarters of a mile in on concord. the light wind allowed the fog to slip into our east bay valleys. livermore doing okay. the north bay, temperatures are chilly and we have very poor visibility. so the fog will scour out within the next hour or two, probably in the north bay. we'll be left with haze, a lot of sunshine here with mid-40s in santa cruz, 65 later on. looking at the sunny and mild day today. it will last into the first day of winter. then that ridge of high pressure begins to move to the east of us. as it does, it makes room for a couple of systems that hopefully will visit us. this is the rest of the day today. we're nice and clear and sunny.

temperatures right around the bay should be up a couple of degrees. still kind of cool in our east bay valleys due to the fog and cold air being trapped there. as we get into your monday, there was a system that wanted to nudge a little further south. it doesn't look like it's going to happen. this is your monday night into tuesday. behind it, slightly cooler, breezy winds. a wider perspective shows the system here. middle of it we middle of the week is quiet. christmas day, into late in the afternoon, evening hours, should last until saturday morning. a second system could arrive sunday night. that would be several for us as we get towards the end of the year. highs today underneath sunny skies, cool at the coast. upper 50s. very little change except for slightly milder air perhaps around the bay. but it's going to be pretty much the same story as we get into your first day of winter, which is tomorrow.

temperatures in the 50s at the coast, low 60s inland. a few more clouds on your tuesday. a little bit more of a breeze mid-week. level 1 system arriving midday sunday -- i mean, friday, for christmas day. then the second system could arrive into sunday, liz. >> all right, lisa, sounds good, thank you. ahead, an update on covid-19 in marin county where latinos made up nearly 80% of cases earlier this year. i talk with the ceo of the canal alliance in san rafael.

we have the power to harness california's abundant solar and wind energy, but it's not available all day long. use less energy from 4 to 9 pm for a cleaner california.

sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. depend. to customizes yourcan gocar insurancetual.com so you only pay for what you need? really? i didn't-- aah! ok. i'm on vibrate. aaah! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ in july we took an in-depth look at marin county, where latinos made up 80% of covid cases despite being just 16% of

the county's population. one of the people at the heart of addressing this issue is the ceo of the canal alliance in san rafael who is joining us now to talk about where things currently stand in the county. omar, good to see you. >> good to see, thank you for the invitation. >> so omar, why has the latino community in marin been so disproportionately impacted and have we seen any improvements over the past five months? >> there are multiple reasons why that happened, starting from the historical inequities allowing the virus to spread quickly. also latinos have been more exposed just by the nature of the jobs that they perform. so we continue working on education, making sure that testing is available for the community. there have been improvements in that area. >> we talk about what's changed, i think right now it's 60% of cases in the county are among latinos. so we have seen some

improvements. talk about the change that we've seen since the summer. >> i think definitely testing and education, you know, the community is also participating act ive actively, distributing masks among their friends and families, all of that has helped. but the economic crisis that was created by the health crisis is becoming now a major barrier for people to continue getting access to testing and retesting. people are desperate. debt accumulation is growing fast in relationship to the fact that they cannot pay their rent. as you know, the latino community was not making enough money even before the pandemic. post-pandemic, they have lost their jobs, they have lost hours of work. and they're not making enough money to pay the rent. >> i know you told me more than 10,000 families right now are at imminent risk of eviction. what kind of help are you

seeking for these families? >> it's a combination of programs that will allow us to pay back that debt. you know, we're looking at rental assistance, we're looking at zero percent interest loans for the people who are able to use it as an instrument to pay their debt. we're looking at local policies. in the last few months we were focusing on the health crisis, but the economic crisis parallel to the health crisis is a huge tsunami coming our way. we need to not separate the health crisis from the economic crisis. if we want to reopen our economy, we need to work towards the common good and make sure the people who need the most have access to everything they need to survive, to take care of their families, to pay the rent. unless we don't do that, we're going to have those problems in reopening the economy in 2021. >> omar carrera with the canal

alliance, thank you so much for your time, we appreciate it. >> thank you for the invitation. and still to come on "abc 7 mornings," congress is still trying to agree on a covid-19 relief package. why both democrats and republicans still believe a deal can get done today. and a new strain of the coronavirus is apparently spreading in the uk, where 20 million people are facing a severe christmas lockdown. what experts say 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! serena: it's my 9:12, no-days-off migraine medicine. it's ubrelvy. for anytime, anywhere migraine strikes without worrying if it's too late, or where i am. one dose can quickly stop migraine in its tracks within two hours. unlike older medicines, ubrelvy is a pill that directly blocks cgrp protein, believed to be a cause of migraine.

and i'm surprised how emotional it makes me because i know they're protected. >> reporter: a third vaccine from johnson & johnson is also on the horizon. the drug maker is expected to know by early january whether its version is effective. corrina mitchell, abc news, new york. developing news, germany is the latest eu country to announce it would ban travelers from the uk. this is in response to a newly-skoefnewly newly-discovered mutation of the covid-19 virus that's spreading rapidly. germany joins italy, austria, the netherlands, and belgium in banning travelers from the uk. the bans are meant to prevent the new strain from being imported into continent europe. uk prime minister boris johnson says this new strain is possibly 70% more infectious. >> there is this new variation that's spreading much more rapidly in the uk. we think it's more infectious, that's what the data seems to suggest. we're not 100% sure. but all of the data so far says

that it's not any more lethal and it's not likely to be any less sort of protective against the vaccine. so i feel reasonably confident that this is not some major game changer. >> johnson has ordered a new restrictive lockdown for parts of england including london, upending christmas and boxing day plans for millions of brits. of course the whole world is dealing with this now. lawmakers in washington have appeared to reach a compromise on a nearly $1 trillion package for pandemic relief, up against a deadline tonight. abc news reporter rachel scott has the details. >> reporter: with just hours to spare until a government shutdown, congress finally reaching a compromise on a stimulus package, clearing a way for a vote in the house and senate as early as today. >> if things continue on this path and nothing gets in the way we'll be able to vote tomorrow. >> reporter: at stake, relief for millions of americans out of work and fearing eviction.

though it's going to slide to the east of us. there's a piece of energy that could offer up a few sprinkles late in the day monday. we've spun the camera around from pier 39, looking at the rock here, a little haze out there, 47 downtown, 42 in san jose, with 50s on the coast. as we look at this panel, and also walnut creek, you knsee th fog and how chilly it is with 30s in santa rosa, a reduced visibility there. getting better in novato. over in concord, it's rough this morning at 40 degrees. and the fog, here's the way it looks with an eighth mile visibility from the delta. this will take us through noontime. then things will be hazy. we'll get some sun. that's why you'll lag behind in terms of temps. santa rosa still waiting on that fog to clear. here is a look at the south bay. you can see some of that fog in the distance. it is certainly cold with the fog this morning, sunny today.

winter arrives 2:02 monday morning. and that weather system to the north doesn't look very impressive, but there's enough moisture there that we're going to watch it into monday night for you. this is sunday. the rest of the day, the fog clears, we're sunny. into the evening hours, another chilly night. as high pressure drifts overhead on monday into tuesday, that's when we'll get behind it. but as for monday, that's the system we're watching behind it. things are quiet, could get a little breezy from time to time. this is thursday into christmas eve. then christmas day looks like midday towards the evening hours. we'll see this linger likely into saturday morning. then it looks like another system could make it as far south as southern california into your sunday. this takes us into tuesday, the 29th. it looks like a ridge rebuilds. we'll take that early call as sort of a wet weekend. but in the meantime, today, 61 in san rafael, looking at low 60s for you in richmond, 62 in

san jose with some of those upper 50s out by the delta and on the coast. tonight, it's going to be another cold one. that fog likely to develop in our east bay valleys, out by the delta, some fog in the north bay. the accuweather seven-day forecast, sunny and mild the rest of the day today. winter arriving tomorrow. maybe a few clouds and a sprinkle monday night into tuesday. we're quiet into the mid-week time frame. just in time to get everything done for christmas which could end up being kind of wet into christmas night and saturday. so it's a little too early to talk about new year's, liz, but yeah, big celebration to get 2020 over with. >> let's hope 2021 is a little bit better. we'll see. we have the vaccine, that's good news. thanks, lisa. abc 7 news is dedicated to telling you what you need to know about vaccines. the race to vaccinate the majority of americans against covid is under way. there are many unknowns.

how long will it take? as the months drag on, could it lead to a kind of viral divide? here's what life could be like in a world of vaccine haves and have-nots. >> reporter: it's a dream on the horizon, a world without masks. you glide through the airport or sit down to dinner wherever you want. the question now is, will you need a so-called vaccine passport to get there? proof that you've had the shots. some experts say it doesn't have to. >> if it comes out with a relatively high acceptance rate, 60, 70% of time, miller time, we're done. >> reporter: but what if vaccination slows? dr. george rutherford of ucsf says the problems would begin if many months go by and some groups still have trouble getting a shot or a significant number choose not to, leaving us short of the majority needed to reach an overall herd immunity. at that point, some worry about a potential scenario of vaccine

haves and have-nots. >> and then you're the one that's going to get to see the giants play, you'll get to go to the a's game, you're the one who's going to get to go to a restaurant or the movie theater, you're the one that united airlines will let on the plane. >> reporter: an airline trade group is already finalizing plans for a vaccine travel pass and the department of defense has released an image of a vaccine identification card. >> i'm not sure if i believe in airlines or restaurants doing that. i think instead, let's get people vaccinated as fast as we can. >> reporter: fellow disease expert dr. monica gandhi points out researchers haven't determined whether vaccinated people could still be infectious for a time. she believes precautions will be critical in the months to come, even with increased pressure to return to normal. >> they just can continue to wear their masks until everyone,

enough of the people are vaccinated, like you said, that we can get to herd immunity. >> reporter: to speed that timeline, some have suggested mandating vaccinations as soon as they're available for groups like students returning to school, possibly accelerating the drive toward herd immunity. berkeley professor arthur rhinegold is hoping that won't be necessary. >> mandates are very unpopular, although mandates tend to get the job done. >> reporter: they believe getting vaccines distributed as quickly and as widely as possible is the key to avoiding potentially fractured months with the prospect of passport privileges and vaccine haves and have-nots. >> i think we'll end up with infection rates dropping. >> reporter: and perhaps ultimately realizing the elusive dream of a return to normal. in san francisco, kumasi aaron,

reducing visibility in our east bay valleys, concord still foggy, walnut creek as well out by the delta. this will last until noon by sacramento valley, should be clearing up as we speak in novato and santa rosa. highs today ranging from the cool upper 50s at the coast, even some upper 50s out where that fog lingers. otherwise, 62 today in san jose, concord, and 64 up in santa rosa. the accuweather seven-day forecast, we're going to usher in winter, pretty quiet, maybe some clouds and a sprinkle at night. otherwise, next chance of rain christmas with a level 1 system. >> lisa, thank you very much. thanks for joining us here on "abc 7 mornings." i'm liz kreutz along with lisa argen, abc 7 news continues at 5:00 p.m. have a wonderful and safe holiday week. i'm off next weekend so i'll see you all in the new year. have a good one.
