like we have turned a major corner in the past months, so that's good news. just 6,700 newly diagnosed cases were reported on saturday. back on january 8th, for some perspective, there were more than 50,000 reported per day. cases are usually a reflection of the positivity rate and the seven-day keeps dropping, now near 3%. but typically the last thing to see a trending decline, 481 deaths were reported saturday, above the average for the past two weeks. a new drive-through vaccination clinic opens in marin county after health leaders had tot down appointments because of the winter storms. today the county is working with curative and the goln ferry te. they'll provide 200 vaccinations a day for the first week and expand to 1,500 doses a di. shipments are starting small because of the storms in the midwest. keep in mind, appointments are required. in marin county, costco is

adding its novato superstore to the list of places offering the vaccine. eligibility is limited to health care workers only right now. there is some availability on friday. california is one of five states where costco plans to offer a limited number of vaccines. starting this upcoming week, pfizer will be offering more vaccinations to people and scheduling further in advance. the ceo sent an email to members last night. they say the state is increasing the amount of vaccines that they'll get starting this week with 20% of the state's supply with more doses on the waors ag vaccination clinic for those 65 and older as well. it plans on expanding vaccinations this wednesday but for now through tuesday the hospital wants to vaccinate as many seniors as possible first. they started a walk-in clinic

from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. hoping to remove technology barriers. >> t making appointments can be a little challenging, so we wanted to take that away, so that's why we decided to do the drop-in clinic. >> all drop-ins must live in san francisco. sonoma county is vaccinatio. starting tomorrow anyone 65 and older as well as grocery, restaurant, and food production workers can get their shot. it's the biggest expansion for the county since it started administering covid vaccines. abc7 news is monitoring the rollout with our vaccine tracker. it shows how your county is doing in the process and when you can get your shot. it is all there right now on abc7news.com. okay. okay. straightsider

and lower your risk of cardiovascular events, whether you know you're at risk or not. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. it's not approved for use in children. 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, vomiting, and diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.

welcome has called for action for safe school reopening. the plan includes schools reopening no later than april 15th. it would provide a total of $12.6 billion to help with reopenings, recovery funds, and federal reopening aid, priority for in-person learning including k-12 with distance learning and all counties in the red tier or better with less than 8 cases per 100,000 people would open for students from kindergarten through sixth grade. all schools must continue to allow families to choose distance learning. teachers and staff would be prioritized when it comes to getting vaccinated. joining me to break it all down is abc's insider phil matier and phil ting, who offered this

proposal. good to have both phils with us this morning. thanks for being here. assembly member, talk about the april 15th date. that is a longer time line than the governor's initial plan. how did you land on april 15th and what happens to a school district if they don't meet that deadline? >> we need a number of assembly members authoring it. we looked at a march 15th deadline and introduced our bill in december. but given that we still at this point don't have a bill passed, we wanted to ensure that we had a time frame that was implementable. now, if districts are ready, they can go before april 15th. they can go now. but it's really to allow all those districts who aren't ready enough time to open up before they would get penalized because if you don't open by that point, you could potentially not get -- you don't get access to the money. >> i'm sure you saw as well as phil matier the governor issued a statement responding to this plan. we want to show you a full screen of what it says. in part, the legislature's

proposal represents a step in the right direction, it doesn't go far enough or fast enough. so assembly member, we'll get your take on that in just a moment. first, phil matier, what do you make of the fact that the legislature has moved on without the governor's backing? >> the chess game, the end game is to try to get the schools reopened, but the governor has set various goals and said he would set various programs and plans out and they've never really come together. they still haven't come together. so i think what we see is the legislature initially saying, look, if you're noitd going to do it, we have to get going on it because we're hearing a response from our constituents. so it's a move to try to get the teachers union, one of the most powerful unions in state politics, the governor's office, and the school district together in one room and get them to hammer something out. if they don't, there's this. assemblyman, what is the key

difference between your plan and the governor's plan? where do you see the difference? >> i think the differences are very, very slight. we've been getting feedback he wants to go faster. he wanted to to what extent on k-2 grades and make sure they were fully open. we this v think the differences are very mild. we were so happy to hear that l.a. unified, long beach, oakland, sacramento unified came out in support. many of the largest districts that had trouble opening schools have come out in support of our plan saying this gets us a lot closer and we think we can work with this plan. for us, we wanted to have a plan that was safe, implementable, and achievable on time. >> you may have seen televisions across the state with the risks to reopening schools. let's play a clip of that if we can.

>> covid is still a threat. and on reopening schools, we know what happens when we put safety first, ignore proper ventilation or rates of community spread, and the virus worsens. >> so, you know, really warning about what would happen if schools reopened too soon, and a sticking point with the unions, they want teachers to be vaccinated prior to returning to school. your bill is a compromise saying county health departments shall make vaccines available to school employees working at a school with in-person learning. does the bill make it a requirement for all staff to be vaccinated? what happens if a state can't vaccinate all their teachers by the deadline? >> yeah, it does not make it an absolute requirement. it prioritizes educators as well as staff to go back. again, it's the ones who are going back. right now, there's 600,000 educators and staff in the

entire state. based on who we think may go back, we think that number is around 200,000 or 300,000. that's what we're talking about. if we can't figure out how to vaccinate 200,000 or 300,000 people in our state to get schools open, we have to rethink our priorities. this has got to be a priority. they have to be prioritized. we want to make sure they get opportunities to get vaccinated but also making sure they get proper ppe, they have the time to distance their desk and distance the classroom environment so kids aren't all next to each other. again, we agreed we want to make sure the environment is safe and we want to do everything possible to make the employees who are going back as safe as possible. >> assemblyman, for a lotz of the folks in california, especially the parents, we've been in this pandemic pushing on 11 months now, okay? and even after the shock wore off, we still had nine or eight months or even six months to seriously come up with plan and

start moving towards opening the schools, reopening the schools, having them ready for when it goes in, what is it going to be like, what grades are going to come in. why hasn't it happened? why has this taken so long to where we're -- where the legislature is coming up with a plan, the governor has a plan and all of a sudden everyone's having to move real quick. why wasn't it done before? >> it's a great question. i have two children in public schools in san francisco. it is driving them and driving us as a family just a little crazy. you know, we gave districts $5 billion of additional money to deal with covid, to help them with distance learning, to get ready for in-person education, under a covid bill on top of what they normally got. you've seen a lot of districts just not step up to the plate. this is the challenge when you have local control. i'm usually a big fan of local control. i think communities should have control of their districts. but what you've seen is just a completely uneven performance.

some communities were just pushing to go back. other communities weren't. and so for us, it's been a huge disappointment that the districts haven't all been moving towards in-person learning. we all agree in-person learning is where we should be. the fact that the districts didn't take that $5 billion to get prepared for in-person learning and the fact we are today in february still discussing in-person learning is a failure on their parts. >> do you see this as if the governor comes up with a plan, with the teachers, that works, are you going to draw back on this? in other words, is this a push to try to get people to go through? what happens monday when you vote on this? >> you know, again, we want a plan that works for districts, works for the employees, works for parents. we want it to be able to work. you have over a thousand districts in california. we're looking at taking a vote tomorrow on this bill. we'll see what happens. based on how discussions go,

that could be moved to later in the week. but what we want is we want a plan that reopens schools. we don't want a plan that talks about reopening schools. we want to see schools reopen as a result of the money that we are putting on the table and asking that they get ready to bring kids back this year. >> do you think san francisco will get -- >> we reached out to san francisco unified. we heard very favorable sentiments. we have been waiting for, you know, a public statement. hasn't come out yet. but everything that we've heard is that this plan is in its very workable stage for san francisco. >> and what about given april, some parents will say basically that's already a few weeks from the end of the school year. would you be in favor of saying let's extend the school year into the summer? >> absolutely. part of the money is for learning loss and districts have

the availability to extend -- they have more money to extend the school year, to do summer school. we hope they are starting to think about that, because now, before they asked, hey, we need the resources to do that. this will give them the resources to do summer school this year, to do after-school next year. that is the whole point. so we really hope they'll take a hard look at this proposal that's out there. >> all right. assemblyman phil ting and phil matier, thanks for being here for this discussion. we look forward to seeing what happens tomorrow. thank you. coming up, we'll have another conversation later in the show with phil matier. first a look at the weather, li lisa. a pretty nice day but a cold start to the morning. >> it was. but, boy, already near 50 degrees in santa cruz. we'll see low to mid-60s at this area of the coastline.

but 70s are not far off. i'll explain next.

welcome back. back to lisa argen tracking the forecast this morning. hey, lisa. >> hey, liz. good morning. it is pretty out there. locations are beginning to see those 50-degree readings realized and we'll top out in the 60s. average highs only in the low 60s this time of year, but we'll surpass that in some neighborhoods and many locations tomorrow into tuesday. th o this week we'll be in the 70s. live doppler 7, it is clear, and they have an atmospheric river pointed away from us into the pacific northwest. for seattle and portland, they'll continue to see maybe three-quarters of an inch of rain or more. here is pier 39 where it's nice

and sunny out there, 50 downtown, 56 in oakland, 55 in mountain view and 50 san jose, 52 on the coast and he look from our east bay hills camera atop vollmer peak where this morning it was chilly in concord. it fel we had temperatures 10 degrees colder but we are recovering ni nis. golden gate bridge, nothing but sun and certainly that flagpole that is nice and still. so the winds in the upper elevations still are a little bit fierce. we'll show those to you in just a moment. sunny skies for the morning. it will be milder today for everyone even at the coast, and with those winds calming down it will feel nice out there. warmer still as high pressure builds in monday and tuesday. . many st. helena up to 40 miles per hour. 50 miles per hour in mt. diablo and out of the north.

those offshore winds as they stay breezy in the upper elevations they'll be calmer at the surface but still out of the northwest. rainfall for the rest of the week and month for california, nothing at all as it all stays up into the pacific northwest. so we will be looking at that warming trend continuing into your monday with low 70s, conco concord. look for mid and upper 60s san francisco and oakland. milder on more 70s, and the 70s will stay put for some of you in our inland valleys on wednesday. the winds kick up in the higher elevations from time to time beginning as soon as tomorrow night. we'll watch that for you. mid-60s today in concord, lovely day in napa at 68. 64 palo alto. the accuweather seven-day forecast, upper 60s inland today, so nice and mild above average. monday, tuesday, wednesday we begin a cooling trend. it gets breezy, but we stay dry. liz? >> thank you. still to come on "abc7 mornings," phil matier returns

welcome back. good news on the vaccine front. shipments are getting back on track this morning after being shuttered by the storms. 6 million doses across all 50 states had been delayed. the white house says they should be caught back up within a week. saturday president biden toured a pfizer facility in kalamazoo, michigan. new assembly lines there will be able to produce 700,000 vaccine dosesho >> i believe we'll be approaching normalcy by the end of this year, and god willing, this christmas will be different than last. but i can't make that commitment to >> meantime, there's surging frustration over covid-19 stimulus checks, one of biden's

bedrock campaign promises. house democrats unveiled their $1.89 trillion pandemic package yesterday which closely resembles biden's. they could vote as early as this in california, lawmakers are expected to vote on a covid package this week. they agreed on a deal worth $9.6 billion. $2 billion in frants for small businesses and relief for nearly 60,000 restaurants and bars. the payments will be made to household after they file their 2020 taxes. governor newsome will be touring two mobile vaccination sites in los angeles today. he's been making many public appearances lately 'cross the state. some say it's a shift in strategy amid a vaccine rollout and amid potential recall elections. joining me is contributor phil

matier and politico reporter carla marinucci. thank you for being here. >> good to be here. >> carla, your take on the governor's shift in strategy lately. you wrote a whole story about it. do you think he's starting to again find his footing a bit? >> i mean, it's a km pain now. we aiysha every day the governor is out there with a parade of public officials behind him, talking about the things with he's done with regard to vaccinations, trying to get schools open. he is feeling the pressure. we are now in campaign season because of this recall that is coming down on his head. the california republicans are in it to win it, they say. they're meeting this weekend. and newsome feels that pressure and strategy. so whether it comes to the covid relief issues or the schools, his plate is full and he's got a big political issue bearing down on him. we'll know by i think the end of next month whether californians are going to face another recall

election. >> phil, we learned this week that organizers for the recall newsome campaign submitted 1.1 million signatures. they need 1.5 million to trigger the recall election. i've heard many democrats don't understand how in a state of 40 million people it only takes 1.5 million to trigger this election. how much do you think californians really want this, or are people going to see it as a distraction? >> whether they want it or not, there's a good chance it's going to go on the ballot. this group has been very meticulous in making sure those people that signed those petitions are actually registered voters. so what they have is their rate is very high and they've got a good shot at making it to the ballot especially with the money coming in from the state and nationally, not just republicans but people all around the country chipping in because gavin newsom is such a national figure. carla, you know, we're talking about being in campaign mode, but campaigns are about promises. this is going to be about performance. i don't care how many sites he

shows up to, if that site is out of vaccine within two days, which we've seen in the past, that's not going to help him. he's got to get the vaccine out. it's not about public appearances. this is about public vaccinations, right? >> yeah. it's about getting those shots right into the arms of californians. that's why he's talking about things like making sure teachers get the shots, 10% of them, making people over 65 are getting them. he's opening these mass vaccination sites. let's face it, he's getting a lot of help from the b.a.r.t. station. there are millions of shots coming through, senators like mosconi, that's helping him as well, oakland coliseum. his public approval numbers are still around 50% or above, but the republicans are seeing, you know, an achilles' heel here, and they are going for it very, very strongly. newsome knows it. they're coming for him. you're right, phil, it's all about the vaccinations and the schools. that's it. >> speaking of an achilles'

heel, you and i covered kevin falconer this week. he's branding himself at the champion for parents, the man who's going to reopen schools because newsome can't. do you think that's enough, though? is that a winning strategy? >> you know, you saw him out in front of abraham lincoln high school talking about the san francisco school board, san francisco values. republicans are going in that direction this weekend at their state convention. falconer is there on top of it saying that california needs a comeback. that's his campaign slogan. the fact is that this is a place where newsome has an issue and he's trying to address it. the schools and particularly san francisco school board has handed the republicans a whole litany of issues they can use and try to raise money with nationwide. that is the problem here. so i think falconer is one of i think many candidates we're

going to see on the recall ballot. let's face it, there could be some behmsdemocrats on the ball too. >> gavin newsom has always been a big, bold guy, gay marriage and such. he always wants to go for, you know, audacity and things like that. on this, he's not getting the balloon off the ground. i mean, he's also big at saying plans and strike forces and we're going to bring blue smehid in. but strike forces for the unemployment check disaster we've had, strike forces for the department of motor vehicles disasters we've had. the difference on this one is people are affected. your kids are either in school or at home. you're getting the vaccine or this is something where everyone gets an individual measure on this, and it's not just the vaccines. the other is the recoping of the schools and getting that faxed.

carla, i wanted your take on this because the california teachers association is starting to act like this is a km pain as well. they've been one of the most powerful and beloved sort of labor organizations in the state for decades. now their image is taking a bit of a question. people are going why aren't you going back in schools? their response is to act like it's a political campaign as well. what's your take on that? >> the california teachers association's efforts this week, putting an ad on the school reopenings shows newsome is between a rock and a hard place. he has the unions on one side and the republicans on the other. most of the public schools in california are still shuttered. you have 6 million kids in public schools here, and those parents are pushing on newsome to get something done. he is in a very precarious situation. he's got tremendous pressure. in big districts like los angeles, for instance, that's the second largest school district in the nation. those teachers are saying, you know what, we're not going back until we know for sure this is

absolutely safe. whether the parents are with him, phil, i think that is the issue. do you agree with that? i mean, i think at this point, teachers have always been bun of the most beloved union, one of the strongest unions, but parents may be beginning to lose patience here as months and months go by. it looks like perhaps the schools may not be back even this semester till the summer. this is untenable for a lot of working parents. >> yeah. we have the california teachers association saying safety is the issue. but for a lot of parents, they think they are safe. they're trying to sell safety. the others are saying no school reopen. teachers are saying we can do both together. but it's interesting because this is coming late in the game after a lot of people are feeling frustrated and they're going, really? what? how long does it take to be safe? and that does put the governor in a tough position because if there is a recall he's going to need all the help he can get,

but he has to get the schools reopened. he's taking on the state legislature saying their plan to reopen the schools isn't fast enough. but his doesn't -- when does his kick in? it hasn't yet. >> and california teachers association is spending six figures on this ad doesn't help newsome at a time when the republican party nationwide has put a target on his back. you've got national figures like newt gingrich, mike huff could be getting involved at the convention. they're talking about this. the fact is teachers and unions together and republicans are putting the squeeze on newsome big time. >> i was going to say, carla, time could be in newsome's favor because if you're thinking if there is an election it will probably be in the fall of next year. at that point, most californians might be vaccinated, kids might be back in school and it might be a moot point at that point. >> you have that right. the timing could work for

newsome. if there was a recall election, tmd co it would come october or november. so much can happen politically by then. wildfires, et cetera. that's why they can't take any chances. they have to try and squelch this recall, see if it qualifies first, and if it happens the democrats have to get behind him full bore. >> carla, what are you watching the most in the coming weeks as we count down to the march 17th recall deadline? >> we're waiting to see are these signatures going to be validat validated. they have about half the signatures they need to be value dated. it could be a tight squeeze. if it happens, are democrats going to stand in lock step behind newsome or are some of them going to break ranks and get on that recall ballot? i think that is a trauma that we're waiting to see happen. we know there's going to be perhaps hundreds of recall candidates. it's going to be crazy in california if that recall qualifies. you'll see a lot of drama here

from now till the end of the year. it will be expensive, divisive campaign. >> welcome to 2021. >> yeah. >> california politics. never boring. phil matier and carla marinucci. if you don't subscribe to carla's political playbook newsletter, you should. thanks for being here. still ahead on "abc7 mornings," that brand-new episode of "american idol" dropping tonight on abc7, known as the viking with a voice, this santa rosa man is on the national stage. you will hear the unusual way that he was found for the audition. and a live look outside this morning heading to break. ♪ ♪
