this week adding 26 additional trips. including to sfo. but when you get on the train they are not as empty as they used to be. a significant jump within last week. but for everyone who is masking to ride barred there many more hitting the road. according to the transportation commission traffic on the bay bridge for the first week of june is up to 90% of what it was pre-pandemic. but there is a big caveat. still told to statistics say the carpool lane is empty. 50% of normal. most drivers are still choosing to go alone. >> getting folks to share the ride has always been a heavy left. many have been promoting for decades. there's clearly a lot of work left to be done.

>> every transit system in the country is worrying about that. they are all worried about remote work. what that means to us is that we have to do a better job. >> starting today you can expect trains to come every 15 minutes. that is an improvement. they don't expect to ramp up to what was full service prior to the pandemic until august 30th. just because they go back to full service however does that mean that they expect full ridership. that could take several more years. live in lafayette, abc seven news. apple is facing pushback from a place where discontent over the company recent return to work announcement. as it turns out there is research to support the reasoning behind it decisions. we have the story now from san jose.

their jobs or finding other places to work because they are sick and tired of being treated that way. however the three day in office plan makes sense to the business professor sumida ricker and who is done research on remote work and says it will allow for necessary bonding and productivity. they are here working in a focused manner. >> we want to maximize being gentle with each other. trying to be supportive as people try to transition back into the work environment. >> as the june 15th opening day is here, they've the knowledge their aha moments that are influencing how soon and under what conditions employees will

be back in the office. david louise spent the day speaking with three tech leaders. >> june 15th will be special in sunnydale. >> we are having a great welcoming party for those. 400 new employees during the pandemic and they've never met except over zoom. a second office building has been added. >> their building an environment that will allow you to gather in a bigger space. and to them there bigger meeting rooms surrounding the open spaces. >> the transition will be gradual. it provides a measured approach when the restrictions looked at several months ago. >> reporter: by contrast, big panda looks at june 15th differently. >> next tuesday for us is going to be a nonevent.

>> says the aha moment came when they saw productivity was better than ever with remote work. >> i saw something special happens when people get together. the energy and creativity there. the serendipity. and i was wrong. >> reporter: there will be no rush bringing people back. letting them assess their comfort level before new guidelines are created. we also checked in with a san francisco tech company with 125 employees. >> we want to come together maybe even more frequently than we did before. coming to the headquarters in san francisco twice year or three times a year. then the company would have it off-site. i think it will actually be a more targeted collaboration. >> reporter: david berry, abc seven news.

the ability to go back to work is contingent upon keeping coronavirus activity low and increasing vaccinations to stop the spread of the virus. that is why we are on vaccine another way to build a better bay area. today, guests on live with kelly and ryan included dr. anthony fauci who says they are optimistic that we will reach the goal within less than a month. we are tracking vaccination progress with the vaccine tracker. 45% of the total population is fully vaccinated now. 56% have gotten at least one shot. at this rate california will not reach herd immunity by the 15th. they are set to fully reopen and then. services: come close. stephanie sierra is live tonight crunching the latest numbers for us. how close are we talking? >> reporter: we are talking a few weeks from now for semper cisco. that is the prediction for several epidemiologist from across the state. as for california the protected

guideline is been pushed back several months. >> project to be the first california interpol intends to see to meet to meet this level. were a mere three weeks away. >> as a practical point, we are closing in on it now. >> 79% of those 12 and older have received at least one dose. 68% are fully vaccinated. >> there is no other city that has these levels of vaccinations. even in places that vaccinate faster than us. the only county coming close was worn county with 65% fully vaccinated. taking a look at the rest the state, san francisco bay still ahead of la county were 53% of the residents are fully vaccinated and san diego county were around 50% of residents are fully vaccinated. california's target date to reach formal herd immunity has consistently been predicted to happen by mid-july.

now that the pace of vaccinations has slowed down it may take longer. >> reporter: the state is administering 1 million doses every five days. if that keeps up, they say it's likely california will reach formal herd immunity. we are getting there. epidemiologist doctor monica gandhi says the real indicator will come after the reopen on june 15th. will cases stay low? that will be the answer. >> if they don't go up, then that is where you say we've gotten to herd immunity. will it still be important to get regularly tested for covid? >> ccs made their decision

about retesting. to only tested people have respiratory infections. not asymptomatic surveillance testing. >> to reiterate unless you have consistent flulike covid-19 systems or respiratory issues, those that are vaccinated do not need to get regular covid- 19 testing. we've also received some questions about antibody tests. that tell you how protected you are? the answer is no. if you've been vaccinated doctor rutherford says any antibiotic tests you get will not be effective. there's a few things to keep in mind there. stephanie sierra, abc seven news. >> can you talk about the failure rate? what are the figures across the u.s.? and specifically here in california? >> reporter: this is why both doctors emphasized it's not important to continually get tested if you've been vaccinated. simply because the vaccine itself has such a low failure rate across the country. one out of every 11,000

vaccinated people in the u.s. were reinfected with the virus. in california state records show only one out of every 7000 vaccinated people were reinfected. so these are approximate totals. but the bottom line is that it is variable. if you have any questions about the corner vice vaccines asked abc seven vaccine team by going to abc seven news.com/vaccine. stay with us. coming up on the i team we have a couple at the center of a kidnapping called a real-life gone girl case. >> how we dealt with trauma and are moving through it is not unique. >> police called the case a hoax at first. more than six years later there now apologizing. here the couple's response coming up next. a gusty evening across the bay area. bay area. a wind advisory is about to at chewy, we know walks are made better with our furry friends. and we're here to make those walks easy.

cool weather back today. spencer explains what to expect

a special series called who i am meant to be. you will hear from honey mahogany. a cofounder of the transgender cultural district who competed in rupaul's drag race and is making political history as the first black and trans-chair of the same cisco democratic >> there are a lot of people afraid of what it means to be trans because they don't know people in their lives. but first of all they probably do know some but they don't know they are trans. in general folks are not as familiar with this community. it's not part of their everyday lives. and what i want to tell those people, is how beautiful this life can be.

>> my name is honey mahogany. i use she pronouns. i grep in san francisco. when it first came out i was in los angeles. i was there of southern california's underground. but interestingly, i think what pushed me to come out all the way was drag. i was in drag for the first time for friends film and when i did that, i was sort of surprised by how quickly i took to it. and maybe i wasn't surprised because i think dressing feminine lee and putting on women's clothing or shoes, that was something that i do always wanted to do. and that i couldn't do. as a kid i would play dress up

at daycare. and i don't know that i really thought about my gender identity. maybe because it wasn't really talked about that much. the only real representations of trans people that i saw, oftentimes was the butt of a joke. it was never here. i did know drag queens being in the mecca of the world we had a lot of drag queens here. for me, learning about my gender was definitely a process. i came out as something else at first. but i performed regularly he became something that i couldn't live without. it was a part of myself that was any central part of my life. and, over the years especially when i went on to do drag professionally, it really became something for a lot of drag queens in particular.

their persona is really a reimagined version of themselves. it was really just me. i mean it was a full representation of who i was. and yes maybe more glamorous. but i didn't quite change. i didn't feel like i was changing who i was on the inside or who i was embodying. or bringing to the world when i was in drag. i was just being myself with more glitter on. when i started to do drag on a regular basis, that's when i realized that maybe this was more than just a performance but it really was who i was. it was in those back rooms, at the stud and the white horse, and the midnight sun i got to know a lot of the trans women who are part of the drag seen and many of them actually before i knew that that's what i was, they were telling me. and there was another name to jupiter i remember being backstage asking if i was pickling.

which to her meant are you on the hormones? and i remember the time she kept asking me that. i think that was her way of saying that she saw in me that i was trans and not just a boy in drag. >> you can watch all of honey's story streaming on the bay area app. it is worth tuning into. you'll find a collection of stories for pride month. the bay area app is available to download for apple tv, android tv amazon fire tv as well as roku. so check it out. but for now let's get back to the weather. okay. let's touch base with spencer christian on when this wind is going to die down. >> it is too windy to stack feathers. and that is for sure. the current wind speed is here. it is going to expire in:00 tonight but is still quite gusty.

until the winds calm down were looking at gusts at 45 to 55 miles per hour. with the blowing debris coming down and possibly power outages. you can see the rain to the wind gusts anywhere from 32 to 45 miles per hour. still coming across the region and it still feels chilly out there because we have a significant 24 hour temperature change. 10 to 12 degrees cooler right now in many northbay locations. this time yesterday it's gone down and paul alto 7 degrees cooler. let's look at the specific temperature readings. 55 at half moon bay in san francisco. 60 to 62 degrees in most locations. we have only three inland locations at or above 70 degrees right now. this is from the rooftop camera looking across the breezy embarcadero. and it is looking gusty tonight. with patchy morning low clouds developing. out across the entire bit of the coastline. but bright and breezy for the next few days. not quite so gusty. but we are looking that way as

pretty much average for the rest of the week. temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s. tomorrow's high are not very high at all. mainly mid 60s right around the bay shoreline. low 70s at antioch and santa rosa down to the south bay high of only 67. and again it will be breezy but not quite so gusty as today. here's your seven-day forecast. still breezy on wednesday perhaps even a few degrees cooler than tomorrow. temperatures will rebound a few degrees on thursday. we will start to get closer to the average for this time of year. and then we get a warm-up for over the weekend. sunday and monday looking for high temperatures in the upper 80s. mid 70s on the bay shoreline. up to about 60 on the coast. that sounds good. thank you spencer. a lot of sports reunited? >> i was just going to get my vaccination card out here. i know you've had the desk to yourself. but it is real.
