1.3 million doses of the moderna and pfizer vaccines. 611,000 more doses are on the way. >> as of yesterday fewer than 500,000 people had actually been vaccinated. i-team is on the story. >> my worst nightmares have been coming true over the last few weeks. >> reporter: dr. mike wassermann sits on california's vaccine advisory committee. he has spent months advising the state on a distribution plan. but the plan isn't playing out as promised. >> there are literally hundreds of thousands of doses out there sitting in warehouses while you have nursing home residents and staff who are waiting to be vaccinated. >> reporter: how long have the vaccines been sitting in these warehouses? >> some may have been sitting there for upwards of a month now or at least three weeks. >> reporter: according to bloomberg's vaccine tracker so far more than 1.4 million covid

vaccine doses have diane distributed across the state but only around 400,000 actually used. to put that in perspective it is only about 28%. putting california behind new york, florida, and far behind texas which has used at least 40% of their vaccines. why do you think the initial roll out fell apart? >> because the federal government didn't plan for the roll out. so they basically dealt with the states and counties a really bad hand roupt it is directly impacting nursing homes. state data shows california is seeing upwards of 400 nursing home deaths per week due to covid nearly the same rate reported at the onset of the pandemic. >> i'm really worried if my mom gets infected. >> reporter: people like julia fears losing her 92-year-old mom who suffers from alzheimer's. she is residing at the san francisco campus for jewish living. at least 105 covid cases infected residents, staff, and

nonstaff at the 391 bed facility. julia is scared she won't say good-bye. >> she doesn't -- probably never see her again. >> reporter: steve shares that pain. his 87-year-old father just tested positive. >> over 80 patients infected with 20 staffers infected. so they're probably short staffed. >> reporter: left to hope his father will make it through. the san francisco campus for jewish living hoped for a much faster vaccine roll out but did confirm the vaccine distribution has started at their facility today. governr newsom says the state is working aggressively to accelerate the rollout of the vaccines including getting more people to administer the shots. >> dental administration, dentists administering the vaccine, pharmacy techs, national guard. more of our national guard deployed to begin the

distribution administration. >> we are in phase 1-a of distribution which includes health care workers and nursing and cong grey gant living facilities. tier 1 is next including people 75 and older and people who work in education, emergency services, grocery stores, and as farm workers. phase 1 b tier 2 includes people 65 and older, workers in transportation and critical manufacturing and incarcerated and homeless individuals. in the south bay an attempt to bring holiday cheer to a san jose hospital could be to blame for a covid-19 outbreak involving health care workers that has left one person dead. >> reporter: contact tracing is under way at kaiser permanente's san jose medical center after a christmas day celebration in the emergency department could be to blame for a deadly covid-19 outbreak. hospital officials say at least 44 employees have since tested positive for the virus including one person who passed away due

to complications. kaiser released a statement saying in part out of respect for patient privacy and the family we have no additional information to provide. our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this terrible loss. while the source of the outbreak remains under investigation kaiser is now looking to see if an employee who dressed up as an inflatable tree to help bring unknowingly predator t unknowingly spread the virus. the costume is reportedly similar to the one worn by the employee. >> in concert with the random movements creates an unpredictable flow. >> reporter: this doctor says the outbreak couldn't have come at a worst time as california deals with another surge. >> the air flow droplets can give the droplets super powers. make them smaller and lighter and keep them suspended in the air and potentially blow them around. that's what we call aerosol generation. >> reporter: a kaiser

spokesperson says the emergency department is under going a deep cleaning and is still safe for patients to receive care. santa clara university psychology professor dr. thomas plant says it is important to allow the investigation to continue without casting judgment. >> our current culture is very quick to point fingers and blame people when bad things happen but the reality is bad things happen even under the best of circumstances or the best intentions. >> reporter: the medical community now trying to make sense of this tragedy. >> i think it is a wakeup call and instructional moment for all of us. >> reporter: in san jose, abc 7 news. here are the latest numbers on icu capacity at 7.9% in the bay area. 12.1% in the greater sacramento area. 30% in northern california. a reminder the rate has to be at 15% or greater for the stay-at-home order to be lifted. and that low icu capacity is

resulting in long ambulance wait times in santa clara county. the hospital system is stretched so thin that some ambulances had to wait several hours just to off load patients. what does the delay mean for patients and the impact across the bay area? >> reporter: as icu capacity continues to dwindle ambulance off load wait times are on the rise. in santa clara county health officials say ambulances lad to wait outside hospital emergency rooms for over seven hours with a patient before a bed opened up inside. >> what is happening now is because of the volume, because of the impact on hospitals we're seeing these wait times, seeing these backups in emergency rooms and that concerns us a lot. >> reporter: the san jose fire department has even had to step in to help. they transported roughly six patients this past week because uff the wait time issue. >> all of our hospitals are feeling these impacts. it is not just one or two. >> reporter: abc 7 news went to hospital emergency rooms in san

jose today. we did not see ambulances lined up waiting. the county says this is expected and that numbers change minute by minute. >> we're having increased sporadic incidents getting up above seven hours but only on occasion. if that happens to you when you need the access it doesn't matter to you what the overall average is over an extended period of time. >> reporter: the long wait times are the latest example of how hospitals are stretched thin. but not all bay area counties are yet at this tipping point. for instance in marin county the median ambulance wait time is between 13 and 17 minutes. still the situation in santa clara county is reason enough for neighboring counties to be on guard. >> that could change. we're a few days out from new year's and things could change very rapidly. and so we have to be prepared for that, the potential for rapid change like we've seen

elsewhere. >> reporter: abc 7 news. two doctors pled guilty to conspiracy to commit health care fraud in san jose federal court this afternoon in connection with a covid antibody test developed. the two doctors face a maximum of ten years in prison and $250,000 fine but they are expected to testify against arrayit founder mark shenna. prosecutors say the covid antibody test often gave false results and the company bundled the covid test with extensive allergy tests for which they could bill medical at a much higher rate. in the north bay a frantic search for two children swept to sea with their father when a sneaker wave washed ashore. wayne friedman spoke with first responders. >> reporter: like a magnet. the rugged sheer power of water and rocks colliding on the

sonoma county coast. at blind beach it is up close, hard to resist and as the ocean reminded us yesterday can be deadly in an instant. >> today is a recovery operation for two children. >> reporter: a tragedy compounded by the loss of their father 40-year-old michael wyman of petaluma who appears to have died while trying to save them. the fire chief was one of the first to the scene. >> his wife was sitting on a rock. she couldn't say too much except she was crying and saying where's the kids? >> reporter: it began when despite high surf warnings the family took a trail down to the beach. what happened yesterday? a typical sneaker wave. the family was along the cliff. they thought they were safe. a wave came in. they had nowhere to go. it washed them out to sea. despite a search until dark yesterday rescue crews from the state and county could not locate the 4-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister. only a trace as paramedics tried to save their father. >> the hardest thing is they

pronounced him dead. we were all looking to find the kids and a piece of clothing washed in and back out again and that made everybody realize there was still someone out there. >> reporter: it is not uncommon waves wash people out to sea here. the last time was 2018. this feels particularly tragic. rescue crews did not expect immediate results as they resumed searching this morning. past experience tells them this may take two or three days or longer. >> our goal is to do our recovery so there can be some closure for the family. >> reporter: along the sonoma county coast south of jenner, wayne friedman, abc 7 news. we are under a high surf advisory and saw some fierce waves today in pacifica with similar conditions along much of the safely coast line yesterday. in fact when the accidental drowning happened in sonoma county. our weather anchor has an explainer about how dangerous the sneaker waves can be.

they are aptly named. >> they certainly are, dan. they are terribly dangerous and tragic. here is a look at how they form. when two or more waves combine they create a larger, potentially more dangerous wave called a sneaker wave. they can move far ashore and sweep you out to sea which we have seen tragically on the news here. we have the risk of more oer the next 24 hours. we have the high surf advisory in effect until 11:00 tomorrow night. combine that with the cold ocean temperatures which can cause temporary paralysis of what we call cold water paralysis so you are unable to even fight the waves or try to swim your way to safety. that is how sneaker waves develop and they are very, very dangerous. back to you. >> thanks very much. a group of tech workers in the silicon valley has formed a union for the first time in their company's history.

coming up what makes this union different from most others. then a predawn send-off for a man in the south bay. the story behind this touching show

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

in the east bay new oakland city officials were sworn in today virtually. an inauguration ceremony was held on zoom this morning. the oath of office were administered to five city council members including the newly elected council members. the city attorney and four directors of the oakland board of education were also sworn in. tonight hundreds of google employees have launched a union. 230 employees have formed the

alphabet workers union. its creation is a rare move for silicon valley tech workers but it comes after years of google employees speaking out against the company. the unconventional union will push for change without traditional collective bargaining rights that potentially limits the leverage the group may have and be able to wield within that tech giant. on the peninsula several cities in san mateo county increased minimum wage at the start of the year. belmont's increase from $15 per hour to $15.90. it is now one of the highest in the county. in redwood city and the city of san mateo minimum wage is now $15.62. south san francisco and san carlos are now at $15.24 per hour. minimum wage is now $15 in half moon bay, daly city, east palo alto, and burlingame. the state goal is to increase minimum wage for all employees to $15 an hour by 2023. a lot more to come.

here's some good news we're not seeing the usual winter spread of the flu. abc 7 news reporter laura anthony takes a look at why flu cases are don't sow dramatically. >> the silver lining is we're not seeing the flu. the flu is almost absent. >> reporter: amid the deepening

pandemic doctors are crediting masking, hand washing, and distancing with stopping one virulent disease in its tracks -- the flu. >> there is no question this year is an extraordinary year. >> reporter: kaiser permanente flu expert dr. randy bergen says by early january california would normally see a serious uptick in cases but not this year. >> we are testing still thousands of people in our emergency room settings and in our hospitals for a combination of covid and flu tests and we're essentially seeing no flu. some weeks we'll have no cases. other weeks we'll have maybe one or two cases. >> reporter: so if covid precautions are keeping flu at bay why aren't they working as well with coronavirus? >> a great question. >> reporter: this stanford global health professor says part of the answer may lie in pre-covid studies that revealed an odd sort of competition among viruses. >> it could be that something about infection with one virus

may somehow decrease the risk for others. whether it's immunity or they just suppress the growth of another virus it is not really clear. there is certainly an inkling from a couple years ago viruses can compete. >> reporter: another contributing factor many more people received flu vaccines this year. and many children are not in school. >> flu always starts in the schools. it starts with children. >> reporter: experts caution people not to let their guard down. there is still plenty of time this winter for the flu to make a comeback. laura anthony, abc 7 news. a los gatos man facing an extraordinary challenge received a pleasant surprise today. people lined the road before dawn battling the rain and cold to surprise 44-year-old marcus bannon and wish him the best as he headed for cancer treatment at ucsf. the idea was the brain child of marcus's friend and long time neighbor patrick keller.

>> he was inspired by all the policemen and firemen lines that you see when folks are honoring someone who's passed and we wanted to flip that and give the good thoughts ahead of time when needed. >> gives you chills. look at this picture. marcus bannon is the father of three and is described as the rock of his neighborhood who has done so much for others. look at that loving family. we wish him the best in his treatment, dan. >> we sure do. sounds like a wonderful guy with a great family. how neat spencer to see his friends and neighbors come out to support him like that. what a great idea. >> it was a wonderful, thoughtful gesture. really sweet and touching and heart warming. let me give you a look at our weather. when this occurred earlier today we had pretty brisk conditions. windy and rainy. right now you can see that the storm has gone but it has moved over to the sierra where it's

snowing. as a matter of fact a winter storm warning is in effect in the central sierra until 4:00 tomorrow morning. we can see or they can see a foot to a foot and a half of snow maybe up to 2 feet in the higher peaks and travel conditions no doubt difficult. back to the bay area live view looking at the city scape of san francisco. it is about 57 degrees in oakland right now. we have low to mid 50s in san francisco. mountain view. san jose. morgan hill. and half moon bay. and this is a nice, mainly clear view from emeryville back toward san francisco. other temperature readings 50 in santa rosa. low to mid 50s at novato, napa, fairfield, concord, livermore. temperatures are in a fairly uniform range across most of the bay area. this is our roof top camera view across the embarcadero and our forecast features. chilly overnight especially in our inland valleys. foggy areas will greet morning commuters. so just bear that in mind.

visibility may be reduced. brighter skies and drier conditions will prevail tomorrow. we have a series of storms coming at us beginning wednesday and continuing through friday. once again a reminder that we have a high surf advisory in effect until 11:00 tomorrow night. wave heights are quite elevated. large breakers that may reach heights of 30 feet and of course dangerous sneaker waves and strong rip currents so it's a good idea to just stay away from the coast line right now. overnight conditions partly cloudy. areas of clearing. some fog near the coast and bay. overnight lows the mid to upper 30s in our inland valleys and right around or barely above 40 degrees near the bay and the coast. then tomorrow under increasingly clear skies into the afternoon we'll see high temperatures ranging from mid 50s at the coast to upper 50s just about everywhere else. not many locations will reach 60 degrees tomorrow. let's skip ahead to wednesday morning. at 7:00 as we await the arrival of our next storm which is going to sweep down from our northwest

and start spreading showers and maybe even a few brief downpours across the north bay just before noon and then later in the day early afternoon mid afternoon we'll see the storm sweeping through the east bay, south bay down across the peninsula and of course there will be wet pavement for the evening commute as well as even the morning commute in parts of the north bay. on we go. here is the accu weather seven day forecast. we can expect again dry conditions tomorrow and some periods of rainfall wednesday, thursday, and friday. each of those days the storm activity will rank one on the abc 7 storm impact scale. then we expect a dry weekend but another light storm will come in next monday. so the rainy season is living up to its reputation. >> nice pattern. all right. thanks, spencer. business owners in the bay area say they are being victimized twice by the pandemic. forced to stay home and now the stay-at-home order creates a crime of opportunity for thieves they say. also still waiting for your stimulus check? there is a way to check on its

theft, burglaries, break-ins, vandalism, graffiti. >> business owners say tonight the stay-at-home order is creating a crime of opportunity for burglars and vandals. a focus now on the economy one of the five issues we explore in our ongoing commitment to help build a better bay area. >> tonight our reporter exposing a second big obstacle businesses say they're facing because of our stay-at-home order. >> open up dining. >> reporter: it has come down to this. business owners protesting in the rain hoping san francisco city officials listen to their plea. >> we are just at our limit of frustration. >> reporter: megan is co-owner of zazie's restaurant and among many requesting san francisco to revisit the indefinite

stay-at-home order and let them reopen for outdoor dining. >> proved through scientific evidence that outdoor dining is the reason for all the surges, if you want to shut downs then you have to provide some assistance. >> reporter: like the saying goes when it rains it pours. aside from financial set backs from limited business now there is a new concern, burglaries. according to san francisco police, this crime has gone up 47% from 2019 to 2020 citywide. in the richmond district it's gone up 75%. >> theft, burglaries, break-ins, vandalism, graffiti, and it is expensive. >> reporter: morgan mates president of the clement street merchants association is keeping track. this sheet shows at least 50 businesses that have been hit. toy boat is one of them. >> our damages are closing in on $20,000 in terms of having to replace all of our windows twice. >> reporter: down the street at foggy notion another break-in.

several blocks down the same story at nourish cafe. >> really a gut punch to the richmond community in general and every small business in the city that's struggling. just to stay open. >> reporter: san francisco police responded to this uptick. residents in the richmond area will see an increased police presence in areas hit hardest by burglaries. this includes an incoo esin patrols, foot beats, and officers on fixed post locations. many business owners saying these crimes will go down if allowed to reopen. >> everyone is biting their nails to figure out when, who is going to be next? when is it my turn? >> reporter: in san francisco, abc 7 news. the deadline for small businesses in california to apply for $500 million in grant funding has been extended. te covid-19 relief grant program launched in december but due to high traffic some businesses may have had trouble accessing the application. now the deadline has been pushed until january 13th. however, the program is not first come first serve.

all applications will be reviewed then funds will be disbursed as planned. a new website to check the status of your stimulus check is flooded by visitors. the irs launched its get my payment tool today. the high traffic has caused loading issues for users. a message pops up saying, quote, due to high demand you may have to wait longer than usual to access this site. we appreciate your patience. you have heard so much recently about who gets the coronavirus vaccine first. however, very little has been said about notification. how will you know when it is your turn? 7 on your side's michael finney has been asking tough questions around this subject and is live with the story. >> reporter: the question sure seems simple enough. when it's your turn to get the vaccine, will someone tell you? california avoided the long lines that came with florida's roll out of the coronavirus vaccine. that is a low bar to measure by. here many of those receiving the

first round of shots actually work in the buildings where the shots are given. pretty easy to notify them. what about the rest of us? how do we know when it's our turn? i asked on facebook if anyone had heard from their health care provider. no one said they had been contacted. >> neither of my doctors have mentioned anything. no one. not even the staff have brought the subject up. >> reporter: so is there a plan to get you vaccinated? there is a widely debated and publicized list of which groups get to go when. but there is no centralized plan to let you know when you're next in line. >> the lack of planning is sad. really sad. we should be in a stage where we know more about these kinds of things right now. roupt consumer action's linda cheri. >> because of our national

health system being so crazy and all over the place, we've got private insurers, public insurers, medicaid, medicare, etcetera, it is going to be an issue. >> reporter: i spot checked local providers. stanford health care told me we do not have a waiting list or advanced appointments for patients to receive the vaccine. kaiser permanente said we expect to use our normal methods to provide information about vaccine eligibility and appointments. sutter health wrote notification of an individual or group's eligibility to receive vaccine and how to access it needs to come from public health given their lead roles. i reached out to bay area health officials that all said this is a work in progress. among their responses? marin health and human services, a the this time there is no waiting list or appointment system in place. san mateo county health, healthcare providers will have a role of notifying their

patients. we don't have details yet on how these processes will work. the sonoma county health department says it is working with its health care partners to notify them when their turn in the distribution plan is up and we'll rely on the providers to notify their individual patients. the california department of public health says its recommendations are now working through the system and eventually to the governor for final approval. that brings us back to linda and her advice to all of us. >> as we get into the new year we need to really start paying close attention to what is going on with the vaccine. so that we're not left out in the cold. >> reporter: that means watching the websites of your primary physician, county health department, state health department, and cdc. >> and of course i'll keep you up to date here on abc 7 news. dan, very interesting. this was really something no one seemed to have given a great deal of thought to until now. we'll see what they come up

with. >> interesting, moichael. great answers to those questions. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> if you'd like to know when it will be your turn to be vaccinated we have a calculator on abc7news.com. by answering a few questions you can see where you may fall in line. stay with us. finger pointing over a deadly hit-and-run in san francisco. new details on the suspect accused of killing two women on new year's eve. >> plus we'll be joined by the chroni if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, inflammation in your eye might be to blame. looks like a great day for achy, burning eyes over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. ha! these drops probably won't touch me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. what is that? xiidra, noooo! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda approved treatment specifically

for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra, wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. got any room in your eye? talk to an eye doctor about twice-daily xiidra. i prefer you didn't! xiidra. not today, dry eye.

new developments in what's become a controversial case. the san francisco district attorney is meeting with family members of those involved in a deadly hit-and-run. one of two women was hit and killed while in a crosswalk. we have a response to the da's accusations many agencies could have done things differently. >> reporter: in a live interview with me on abc 7 news at 11:00 the san francisco district attorney addressed the double fautal hit-and-run involving suspected driver troy mcallister out on parole. it ignited a fire storm from critics who say the tragedy

could have been prevented. mcallister has been arrested numerous times in san francisco since april 10th, 2020 when he finished a sentence for robbery. budin has a history of referring cases to parole instead of prosecuting. the parole office made a statement which provided all of the details needed to revoke bail but you chose to do nothing. why are you blame go-to parole office instead of taking direct accountability here? >> this is not about blaming parole. this is about recognizing that there are numerous law enforcement agencies and that we all have to depend on each other to do the job properly. >> reporter: the california department of corrections and rehabilitation sent us this statement saying none of the parolee's arrests following his 2020 release have yet to result in filings of criminal charges by the district attorney. beaudin was critical of daly city police referencing a september 29th incident when mcallister stole the car used in the hit-and-run belonging to a

woman he was on a date with at the west lake shopping center. >> they had his address, phone number, and most importantly they knew that he had a firearm in his possession. instead of going out and trying to arrest mr. mcallister or notifying his parole officer so they could do their job they wrote in their report that they intended to wait until january 3rd. >> reporter: daly city police tell me their investigation followed all standard practices and procedures and that the january 3rd date beaudin is referring to is actually an expiration date for followup. >> we are also above and beyond what would be normal conducted on a vehicle theft report. it is not usual for our investigators or patrol officers to contact parole at such an early phase. roupt when we pressed him on his claims they failed to communicate on the prior cases -- >> the fact is my office cannot prosecute cases until the police present us with adequate evidence that a crime was committed.

>> reporter: i reached out to san francisco pd. though the department would not comment due to the ongoing investigation i spoke with tony montoya president of the san francisco police officers association union. >> that is an automatic if somebody is on parole or probation you make the phone call. you make the e-mail notification to the probation or parole officers. >> reporter: sfpd did act in accordance to protocol. >> absolutely. >> reporter: monday afternoon beaudin announced filing multiple felony charges against mcallister and sent us this statement saying in part daly city police, the san francisco police, parole, and my office all could have done things differently. and we'll review the case to prevent tragedies like this in the future. in san francisco, abc 7 news. >> san francisco chronicle insider and abc 7 news contributor is here with his perspective on this. this has become a flash point on so many levels. budin calls this a systemic failure. what do you think phil? >> no shortage of finger

pointing. it would be nice if there was actually cooperation to try to make sure this doesn't happen again. a lot of forces are at work here not the least of which is the movement to reform how we prosecute what have now been considered petty offenders. those are nonviolent offenders, drug offenders, burglars, car theft, break-ins and the like. that is what mcallister had been charged with repeatedly or at least arrested for. the problem was he wasn't charged with those crimes. so it stopped right there. he was continuously let go. the other part is there is right now not room in the jails for mcallister. there is a movement actually to keep them out of jails in part because of the covid virus. jails and prisons are afraid of becoming hot spots so they don't want nonviolent offenders in there as well. s that is another issue we're dealing with not just in this case but throughout the bay area. lastly we have the tragedy of where you have a lot of incidents that didn't rise to

the occasion in the district attorney's opinion to charge. didn't rise to revoking parole and sending them back to jail but taken together are like tinder and hit with the spark of drunken driving, had a gun with him, also methamphetamine allegedly and you put that together and what was a stack of nonviolent past histories turns into a very violent situation that resulted in two people dying. >> you make a good point about keeping people out of prison because of covid but general over crowding. we've seen that as well. what is the police union saying right now? >> they're saying as you heard, they thought the san francisco police did what they should have done. they are critical of beaudin philosophically, practically not filing charges. but also told me, i talked with tony montoya and he said listen to what you're not hearing. you're not hearing a call for hearings or change at city hall. the mayor, the supervisor stepping up and saying anything?

part of them is because some of them support beaudin. it will be interesting to see where this goes going forward. i've talked with law enforcement on both sides of the issue and defense attorneys around the bay area and there are other cases like this every day. that don't get the attention and haven't risen to this level of tragedy. b but oft times people are released with little or no supervision for what are considered nonviolent crimes and that can include having possession of a gun. that you can even get out for that these days under the crunch. so another one of these could very well be happening sometime down the line. that is another tragedy waiting to happen as we continue to grapple with what to do going forward. >> exactly right. this is certainly touched off a very sensitive topic in san francisco. read phil's columns in "the san francisco chronicle" on sundays and wednesdays. thanks, phil. the nation is watching two senate run-off races in georgia

curry missed most of last year no longer surrounded by all stars leaving some to forget this is the man who changed the game. nobody pulled up from 35 feet before steph made it routine and now defenses are loading up on him. critics have pointed to the warriors' slow start saying steph isn't good nauf enough toy the team. mr. curry heard all that loud and clear. >> the jordan name, right? i take all that just the opportunity to kind of assert my will on the game early and create some energy. >> that was great to see though. he came out looking like a man on a mission. and that was right out there. one of his best performances i have witnessed. >> ex-warrior kevin durant will be out for the next week facing a seven day quarantine because of the nba's covid contact tracing protocols.

k.d. actually had the virus in may and has tested negative since then but the contact tracing rules mean he will sit out brooklyn's next four games. to college action pac-12 hoops stanford visiting oregon state. early action, he's everywhere. steal, slam. finished with 19 points. go to the second half. michael o'connell coast to coast. the freshman with a career high 12 points. oscar desilver. career high 31. stanford wins on the road 81-73. 2020 was supposed to be the 49ers' year of the revenge tour. turned into the rehab tour. a slew of key injuries up and down the lineup. after a 6-10 season the niners now have 40 free agents and a million questions. starting with the starting quarterback. jimmy garoppolo started only 6 of 16 games, missed the last two months because of an ankle

injury. despite the coach and gm repeating they want jimmy g. as the starter next year rumors continue to surface indicating the niners will move on from garoppolo if they can find a better option. garoppolo says he wants to stay in the red and gold and is trying not to let the rumors become a distraction >> i mean i honestly haven't put too much thought into it. all of those things get said. after the the end of the day i'm a 49er and here to be a quarterback of this team and every day i try to go out and prove that to my teammates and coaches and that's what really matters. the people in this building i love them. >> i feel like i've been asked a lot of jimmy questions since the end of last year. never had to talk about someone so much in my life. you talk about his leadership. you talk about the wins that he has. where he led us. what he produces. he is everything we want in a franchise quarterback in my opinion. the raiders' disappointing season went bad to worse.

their all pro tail back josh jacobs arrested on dui early this morning in las vegas. police responded to the scene of a one car crash at 4:42 am. jacobs was briefly hospitalized for minor injuries he suffered in the accident. he has a court date in march. this garoppolo decision is going to be fascinating to watch because he is owed about $25 million. do you try to go with a cheaper veteran quarterback if you could find one, free up money for other free agents? a lot hinges upon what they decide to do with jimmy g. in this off-season. >> a lot of moving parts. thank you so much. >> for sure. some signs of hope for the bay area economy during these dark times. a business ready for its grand opening in the south bay. tonight criticism is building over the speed at which the covid-19 vaccine is being distributed and doctors say some of the solutions being talked about could be dangerous.
