san mateo county says it can handle up to 10,000 people every day at the event center. >> san francisco opened its biggest site at the moscone center last week, capable of 10,000 shots daily. but these sites need supplies, and it's far short of demand. >> the health department is directly receiving only somewhere between 10,000 and 11,000 vaccines a week. a week. so as i've said, we can do over 10,000 into arms right now a day, a day. we hope the supply increases. >> good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. >> and i'm dan ashley. the reason we're on vaccine watch is because this is about building a better bay area. it's crucial. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra is live. stephanie, what are you hearing about when supplies will actually increase? >> well, dan, at least another month until we'll notice a reasonable increase in supply if johnson & johnson's vaccine is

approved for emergency use. now the governor says california's allotment is increasing modestly last week after president biden's promise to allocate an additional 20% to states. but it's certainly not enough. >> the supply is the issue. that's the constraint. >> reporter: the governor reinforcing the state's struggle to access vaccine doses from the federal government. >> the state of california will receive roughly the equivalent number of doses that we received a week ago. a little over one million. >> reporter: however, a majority of that shipment will be reserved for second doses. this means the state is really only getting enough to vaccinate 594,000 people per week. >> next week we anticipate a modest increase in the total allocations. >> we've really missed an opportunity to fully engage to get all hands on deck. to make sure we're getting the

vaccine to those with the greatest need. >> reporter: meanwhile, until today, levi's stadium and the oakland coliseum have sat vacant for nearly the past two months since pfizer's vaccine was approved for emergency use. >> top epidemiologists and health experts across the state criticize this should have happened months ago when we knew the vaccine was coming. so my question is why did it take this long? and if you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently? >> the vast majority of vaccinations are not done in sites like this. the overwhelming majority of the vaccinations are distributed thousands and thousands of smaller providers in very culturally competent settings and communities. >> reporter: we didn't get a straight answer. >> we could have done a better job starting off. >> reporter: dr. yvonne maldonado sits on the cdc's vaccine advisory committee. she explains failed promises from the federal government is partially responsible. >> back last summer, we were told by operation warp speed and others that we were going to get 300 million doses of vaccine by december, and we never got them. we don't even have 300 million doses now.

>> reporter: the governor says more specific details with the state's contract with both blue shield and kaiser permanente to launch a vaccination network will be released later this week along with race and ethnicity vaccination data, which we've been pushing for. for the past two weeks. live in the newsroom, stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> hey, stephanie, we know cvs is launching limited vaccinations starting this week. we've been talking about that. did the governor give incite to how many doses california will receive from the federal government? >> yes. 100,000 doses will be coming to california pharmacies out of the one million doses allotted nationwide. so certainly a very small fraction to meet the demands of thousands living in assisted care and long-term care facilities across the state. >> thank you very much. today levi's stadium began providing vaccinations to people. it will have the ability to give 15,000 shots a day once there is enough supply. abc7 news reporter chris nguyen

was there for opening day. >> reporter: at levi's stadium in santa clara, a different show is playing out for a broader audience. >> this past year has been horrible for all of us. >> reporter: but tuesday afternoon allen winkelmann became one of the first to get a vaccine. >> got an appointment right away, 2:00 today. walked right in. parking was easy. there is enough people here to tell you exactly what to do. >> reporter: a new partnership between the team and santa clara county aims to make the stadium the largest mass vaccination site in the state. >> our mission here is not to just deliver an exciting game day experience but one of stewardship to uplift, support, and now to help protect our bay area community. >> reporter: the stadium is now the fourth mass vaccination site in santa clara county. county officials hope to eventually scale up to 15,000 appointments a day, which will include evening and weekend time slots only county

residents 65 and up as well as health care personnel who live or work in the county are eligible to make an appointment online. >> we sincerely hope that we're able to continue maintaining this capacity and that it's not disrupted by decreases in our vaccine allocation by decisions that are beyond our local control here. >> reporter: to date, the county health system has administered 113,000 first doses, which doesn't include the doses that have been handled by private providers. county officials say the stadium site setup shows their ability to build out the necessary infrastructure to get vaccines into the arms of peep as quickly as possible. >> one of the biggest challenges we have is making sure that we get every single person across the finish line, that we get every single person tested, that we continue to get people tested, even as we're getting people vaccinated. >> reporter: a monumental effort in the bay area county hardest hit by the virus. >> i know some people are hesitant about it, but this is something for not only yourself, your family, your friends and

everybody that surrounds you. >> reporter: in santa clara, chris nguyen, abc7 news. california crossed a major threshold today, proof that the pandemic is dwindling. let's hope that keeps up. for the first time in months, fewer than 10,000 new cases were diagnosed. by comparison, at the peak, more than 53,000 cases were diagnosed in a single day. and that was less than two months ago, keep in mind. today's number is 85% lower, encouraging indeed. all the metrics, like the number of hospitalized patients and the test positivity rates are also dropping. it is a trend we're seeing here in the bay area as well. and abc7 news reporter lyanne melendez has details about santa clara county's progress. >> reporter: as we have all witnessed in the bay area, any given event, a holiday can quickly trigger the spread of the coronavirus. reflecting back, santa clara county had two confirmed positive cases on february 4th, 2020, a year ago. at the time, those two cases

accounted for 18% of all cases in the united states. today the county has a sliver of all the covid cases nationwide. still, dr. sarah cody, santa clara's public health officer says they are still recovering from the greatest and deadliest surge which began in november. the decline began on january 14th and has continued. >> we are trending where we want to be, but we are by no means, by no means are we out of the woods. >> reporter: that's because while the numbers have fallen, they are still much higher than the previous peak between july and august. and when it comes to minority groups, the county reports that those cases are also declining, but are still high. especially among the latino population. gilroy and east san jose have been disproportionately affected, but their numbers are also going down. these words from dr. cody as the county waits for more vaccines to arrive. >> we really cannot, cannot let

up on any of the other strategies that we have all been collectively practicing over the last year because those strategies are what will continue to keep us safe until >> reporter: so hospitalization rates are also down in santa clara county but still too high. that's one of the reasons why the county is still in the purple tier and will be there for a while, according to dr. cody. now to get to the red tier, the race rate has to be between four and seven cases per 100,000 people. the county has above 20. lyanne melendez, abc7 news. >> okay. lyanne, thank you very much. san francisco is preparing to expand vaccination eligibility to include teachers. vaccines have been part of negotiations to reopen schools, a topic that's the subject of a lawsuit filed by the city against the district. today the city attorney expanded

the lawsuit, adding three new allegations accusing the district of violating the students' rights, discriminating against students on the basis of wealth and violating state law. the original lawsuit was filed last wednesday. abc7 news anchor liz kreutz joins us live. what from what the mayor said today, it doesn't really sound hopeful that students will be soon. >> reporter: that's right, ama, she is certainly not confident it will happen this year, and we're continuing to see this fight play out between mayor breed and the city and the school district and the unions. the hopeful step forward we know now, teachers at least soon will be able to get vaccinated. despite the statewide vaccine shortage, san francisco mayor london breed said today the city is soon going to enter phase 1b vaccination. the next tier will be available for the vaccine. that includes grocery worker, emergency workers and police officers, and yes, teachers. >> that's a really exciting thing that we're going to be

able to expand the number of people who are eligible in the next two weeks, but to also reiterate that the vaccine supply is still limited. >> reporter: this announcement comes just days after the san francisco unified school district facing a lawsuit from the city came to an agreement with the union on how to resume in-person learning. vaccinations a key part of it. the agreement says schools can only reopen when the city is in the red tier and all staff are vaccinated. today mayor breed says she still has a lot of questions about the agreement and doesn't see how it would allow for schools to reopen this school year. >> based on the limited information i have about the tentative proposal, i don't think it's realistic that we can expect schools to open this school year. >> reporter: a big hurdle is the vaccine shortage. it's unclear how long it will take to get every teacher breed made it clear she'd like schools to resume even sooner if possible. >> there is no way i would have

ever support using the legal system to try and get our schools open if we were on a path of moving it forward and if it weren't for the department of public health telling us that it is safe to do so. we have to do better. we have to think about these children. >> reporter: and mayor breed said the city has examples that show there are ways for schools to safely reopen. she said 15,000 students in san francisco are currently back in school. they're in private school. live at home, liz kreutz, abc7 news. >> so, liz, what does the teachers union have to say about all of this? >> right. so we deed reach out to the teacher's union for comment. the president sent us a statement where they accused mayor breed of politicizing this issue. they also take a look and said they would welcome an opportunity for teachers to be vaccinated before the 24th of february. she said if breed prioritizes vaccinating teachers, they feel

they might be able to open schools this year. but breed doesn't think that's feasible either way. ou so much. a lot more to come here. breaking news. an oil spill in richmond near the chevron refinery. we're live on the scene next with the latest information on the danger this spill presents. i'm spencer christian. valentine's weekend is coming up, and i am working on a loverly forecast for you. i'll have that as abc7 news continues. >> loverly indeed. thank you, spencer. and abc's coverage of the impeachment trial peremptoried "the view." that will air a you work hard for your money. stretched days for it.

boulevard and boyce road in fremont where you can see a lot of police activi tweeting that officers were involved in a shooting, but they have not said if police officers shot at someone or if someone shot at them. there is no word yet if anyone has been injure. right now they're looking for someone who they believe has a weapon. you can see that abandoned car there on stevenson, which looks like it's involved in all of this. we will bring you the very latest developments just as soon as we get them into the newsroom. we continue to follow the developments out of our breaking news, which is an oil spill in the bay area. gallons upon gallons of oil spilled from the richmond chevron refinery. take a looked t lonrf off poinchnd. ritow the ean water and try to minimize the environmental impact. jr stone is gathering the facts in richmond and spoke with

neighbors living near the refinery. what are they telling you, jr? >> reporter: well, ama, it's hard to see what's actually happening right now, but i can tell you, you can certainly smell it. not as bad as it was earlier, but that small of gasoline in the air, almost like you went to a gas station and you smelled that leak. we're talking about gas and oil that has leaked in this circumstance. now as i talk about this, i do want to step out of the way, and we can look off into the distance. you're looking at the long wharf. there are pipes under that wharf, and that is where this leak happened. that wharf connects the refinery to some of the ships, and that is what they are focused on this evening. now from sky 7, you really see that oil slick on top of the san francisco bay. they have put booms in the water to try and surround that oil, but it is a very large area, and it is now getting we talk with supervisor john joya a short while ago about the situation. >> they could face irritation of their nose, throat, eyes, and

are advised to stay indoors for anybody who lives in richmond, san pablo or north richmond. >> these are more images of sky 7, from sky 7 that is. initially this was reported as 100 gallons of oil that had leaked into the bay. at one point, five gallons were leak out every minute. chevron saying they have been working to isolate and contain this leak. the smell now like i said before not as bad as it was, but still lots of concern out here. we talk with neighbors about what happened, and some reported a loud sound and then a smell. >> we had the friend who sits there, she was painting down there, and she thought she heard a bang, and then the smell started. so the main concern is our lives are so intertwined with the critters, with all the birds on

the beach, the ducks, the harbor seals are getting nailed by this. so that's the -- it's just painful to see. >> reporter: now these are some of the images we shot from the ground. you can see that long wharf and the boats out on the water, working to take care of this situation. don mill, who you heard from in that sound bite saying he has lived here for 30 years and it has been around 25 years since he remembers any sort of oil spill like this. now back out here live this evening, you see those flashing lights along the long wharf. they are still out there into the evening hours. all of this started around 3:00, according to chevron. certainly keeping an you on this situation as we go into the nighttime hours. now as we get new updates in this case, we will bring them to you here on abc7 news. live in richmond, jr stone, abc7 news.

>> yeah, that clean up will take time. thank you, jr. pandemic for a few moments. there is new information coming out of the city of wuhan tonight on the possible the world healt organization arrived there last month, looking for clues to the mystery. as the pandemic's suspected epicenter, the city of wuhan, china has been the focus of a scientific detective team trying to trace the origins of covid-19. after some initial cases were linked to an animal food market, some raised suspicions that the virus might have escaped from a research lab located nearby. but today investigators from the world health organization say that is unlikely since early cases were distributed over a broad area. >> once you realize that there are many cases more distributed in wuhan, that makes it less likely that there was an environmental escape. >> reporter: dr. warner greene is a researcher with san francisco's gladstone institute. he says the trail is tricky, in part because the covid virus attaches to a cell receptor

found in a wide variety of animals that might pass it to humans either directly or through an intermade year animal. for a time attentions focused on a scaly creature known as pangolin, but it's missing a key gene leaving a broad host of possible carriers on the suspect list. >> is it a mink? is it some other character? we really need to know that. that would really put to rest any type of concern if we knew the animal chain. >> reporter: the most common theories link the origin to china's bat population since similar versions of the virus have been detected in bats in southeast asia. dr. shannon bennett studies disease transmission at the california academy of sciences. she says even if a human-like version of covid-19 is discovered in a bat or an intermediary animal, proving human contact is still difficult. >> most of the data is going to be anecdotal. so we may find sequences like

the coronaviruses that are infecting humans in other animals, but do we know that that was the source of the main emergence. >> reporter: investigators are likely to continue using field sample groups like the uc davis one health institute. but for now the world health organization team is only saying while it has gathered new information, cracking the mystery of the animal pathway is still a work in progress. and that work continues. some experts this china are also investigating the possibility that the virus originated elsewhere in asia and may have been transported to wuhan via deliveries of frozen food. there is a series of light storms in the seven-day forecast, and it could i

got under way, and it started with a 13-minute video detailing the insurrection of the capitol on january 6th. >> reporter josh haskell with our sister station in los angeles takes us through the opening arguments. >> reporter: president trump telling senators that the impeachment trial is something the country will regret forever, but the senate voted to move forward the trial, including six republicans. democrats said there is no such thing as a january exception in the constitution. >> the argument president trump asks you to adopt is not just wrong, it's dangerous. this body, the world's greatest deliberative body, the united states senate, has reached that same conclusion. in one form or another over the past 200 years. >> and our precious beloved constitution, that prior generations have died for and fought for so the corrupt presidents have several weeks to

get away with whatever it is they want to do. history does not support a january exception in any way. so why would we invent one for the future? >> reporter: although the president's attorney, bruce castor jr. spoke first, didn't end up making that argument. he instead laid out a rambling presentation that heaped praise on the democrats, saying the house manager's presentation before him was well done. >> quite a number of the complaints that were filed against the people who breached the capitol, some of them charged conspiracy. not a single one i noticed charges conspiracy with the 45th president of the united states. >> the single goal of the house leaders and house membership in pursuing the prosecution of donald jump trump is to use the franchise with whom they viscerally disagree. >> reporter: presentation included this dramatic 13-minute video recapping the events of january 6th outside the capitol and inside the capitol. video included a trump tweet and his own words.

>> if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore. >> if that's not an impeachable offense, then there is no such thing. >> this senate is adjourned until wednesday morning. democrats will have eight hours to present their case for convicting former president trump. in west l.a., josh haskell, abc7 news. and now a local perspective on the impeachment trial. abc7 news reporter david louie talked to two by area law professors to analyze what happened today. >> the first job for house impeachment managers was to convince the senate there are grounds for a hearing. the bone of contention is whether a president can be held accountable after leaving office. >> that implies that any president or any official can do something worthy of impeachment in his last days, in his or her last days and get off scot-free because there would be no time to have a trial. >> reporter: the case for impeachment focuses on whether president trump's comments to a rally of supporters incited them to storm the capitol, leading to deaths. >> officers ended up with head

damage and brain damage. people's eyes were gouged. an officer at a heart attack. an officer lost three fingers that day. two other officers have taken their own lives. senators, this cannot be our future. this cannot be the future of america. >> reporter: president trump's defense team argues the trial is political. >> for a great many americans see this process for exactly what it is, a chance by a group of partisan politicians seeking to eliminate donald trump from the american political scene. >> reporter: santa clara university law professor margaret russell points out the week ahead may test republican senators, six of whom joined democrats today to vote for the trial to proceed. >> republicans are going to hear information that will put them in a very tight spot with their own constituents and in the court of history, because they're going the hear damning things about president trump --

former president trump that will make them look weak. >> reporter: the trial begins wednesday. david louie, abc7 news. a tale of two arguments. house prosecutors and former president trump's attorneys presented two very different legal strategies to the senate today. stanford hoover institution fellow lanhee chen laid out some of those differences on our daily program getting answers. >> this was about the democratic managers trying to express in an emotional way why the president should bear responsibility, why donald trump should bear responsibility, and why, on the other hand, from trump's lawyers, that responsibility isn't the issue. it's about the legal and constitutional questions. so very different approaches. >> and live coverage of the impeachment trial begins here on abc7 news at 9:00 tomorrow morning. you can catch up on coverage through the abc7 connected bay area app for apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv and roku.

freeway as it climbed and disappeared into the clouds. the ntsb says the pilot appeared to violate flight standards when he flew into bad weather near calabasas. he became disoriented and crashed into the hillside. >> we're talking about spacial disorientation where literally the pilot may not know which way is up or down, whether he or she is leaning left or right. >> reporter: officials say the pilot was going at a high speed of 140 knots and decided to climb, which is not consistent with training. >> did he climb straight ahead in that case when he penetrated the weather? >> no, sir. the climb was initiated in a subtle left turn. >> a subtle left turn. so he didn't follow his training. do you feel he committed to the instruments in this case? >> the path and behavior of the helicopter is not consistent with committing to the instruments. >> reporter: kobe bryant, his daughter gianna and seven others on board died when the chopper crashed. it left orange county for the mamba sports academy in thousand

oaks for a youth basketball game. investigators say the pilot may have felt pressure to perform for a high profile client and decided to continue ahead despite the risk. >> in this case, it was both self-induced pressure and flying continuation bias. and the flying continuation bias portion of it was the pilot continuing the flight despite changing conditions. >> reporter: the company island express has alleged there were errors by air traffic controllers. investigators disagree. >> did any of the air traffic control actions, errors, or omissions contribute in any way to this horrible tragedy? >> no, sir. >> reporter: investigators didn't find any medical problems with the pilot or any problems with the helicopter. this all happened in a matter of seconds, and the pilot never had a chance to declare an emergency. i'm carlos granda, abc7 news.

such a tragedy. our weather today was cool and cloudy.u yelt aca i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. and i only need to take it once a week. plus, it lowers the risk of cardiovascular events.

trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

some residents of the east bay felt a jolt today. a magnitude 2.7 earthquake hit about five miles southeast of fremont around 11:00 this morning. there are no reports of any damage from this minor quake, but it's always a little shocking when you feel any kind of earth movement, dan. >> it sure is, ama. and they get our attention every time, even the small ones. spencer christian is here with the forecast and a little rain that will get our attention. spencer? >> that's true. we had some isolated sprinkles today, and there are still some around, as you can see on live doppler 7. they're really widely scattered. that's why we call them isolated. let's move along and take a look at mainly dry conditions. the view from our splratorium camera look back at the cityscape of san francisco. temperature readings in a fairly uniform range of san francisco, and mid- to upper 50s in oakland, mountain view and san jose and morgan hill. it's cooler in half moon bay, 48 degrees there. and emeryville, no clouds. low enough to block this view.

looking back at san francisco, temperature readings are in the mid- to upper 50s also at santa rosa, novato, napa, fairfield, concord and livermore. and here is the view from our rooftop camera. looking across the embarcadero, and these are our forecast features. isolated showers or sprinkles this evening. but skies will begin to get clearer during the overnight hours. we can expect some patchy fog in the morning and sunny and milder conditions in the afternoon tomorrow. and there will be widespread rain coming in on thursday. let's take a look at the approaching storm. it ranks 1 on the abc7 impact scale. for thursday and early friday morning, we're expecting light to moderate rain. breezy to gusty conditions, and a wet and slippery evening commute on thursday. here is the forecast animation starting at 9:00 thursday morning. notice that the main body of this storm swings through during the afternoon and evening hours on thursday, and again, this will be light to moderate rain with occasional pockets of heavy downpours. so you can see why the evening

commute is going to be wet and slippery on thursday. they'll be trailing showers. they'll continue overnight into friday morning. even the friday morning commute can be wet and slippery as well. rainfall totals will range generally from 0.2 to 0.4. a little bit more in some locations. and then we skip ahead to the saturday morning, saturday forecast animation starting at 12:00 a.m. on saturday. notice this sort of blankets the bay area on saturday. produces snow in the sierra. sunday, valentine's day, we might get a break. it may be a dry day if this forecast animation holds up. but then another storm comes in on monday that will be a wet one that will bring silky rain to all parts of the bay area, and more snow to the sierra. rainfall totals from that storm on monday will range anywhere from well, just over half an inch to over an inch. that's going to be a pretty wet storm. so we have a nice little dose of rainfall copping our way. tonight, though, mostly clear

and dry. overnight lows in the mid-40s. highs tomorrow under sunny skies. mid-50s at the coast. low 60s around the bay shoreline, and mid or mid- to upper 60s inland. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. thursday, friday, and saturday, we have light systems coming through, but it will be occasional downpours. it's going to be a wet pattern for sure. can we get a break? that's what it appear news. sunday, valentine's day looks like it will be dry and mild. monday another little soaking rainstorm comes in. that should the be over tuesday. maybe after that we'll get a longer break of a little stretch of dry days. this is much needed rainfall. so i think we should be happy to see it coming our way. dan and ama? >> all right. yes very happy for it. thank you, spencer. >> all right. let's talk about raining threes and steph curry. larry beil is here. >> dan, ama, steph is just playing unbelievable lately, and he really needs to, because the
