mask mandate and today we took the first step. thank you for joining us, i am ama daetz. >> you are watching live on abc7, hulu live, and wherever you stream. >> our work better bay area means keeping a close eye on the pandemic and changing rules. statewide activity is rising every way you measure it. it is part of why the bay area released new recommendations saying everyone should wear masks indoors, no matter if you are vaccinated or not. so far it is a recommendation, not a requirement. >> and that applies to almost the entire bay area. only celano and napa county did not involve themselves in today's announcement. >> laura anthony spoke with doctors at east bay hospitals to find out what trends they are seeing. >> did you ever stop wearing masks inside? >> never. >> will you go back to not wearing a mask?

>> to answer that today i would have to say no. >> wayne freedman spoke with business owners and customers in the north bay. these reporters are both part of tonight's team coverage, but let's begin with abc7 news poro a lo at e situation across the bay area. >> reporter: case rates are increasing in every bay area county. we have been aggregating data from across the region and it shows in the last month, cases have more than doubled. health officers believe the new transmission is stemming directly from the delta variant. in san francisco, case rates are eight times more than they were three weeks ago and health officials expect the city will soon average 80 new cases per day. it is a similar story in santa clara county. cases have tripled in the past three weeks and the delta variant was responsible for 43% of the cases sequenced in the past 14 days.

for people wondering what is different this time around, doctor susan phillips, san francisco's public health officer, says the delta variant is fueling this. how likely do you think the recommendation will turn into a mandate? >> from what we have seen, it has shown time and time again that cases go up first and then a few weeks later we see hospitalizations, so we will need several weeks to see what is happening in san francisco, to make sure hospitals are protected. make sure healthcare workers are not overwhelmed. >> reporter: covid hospitalizations in san francisco have doubled over the past couple of months from around nine patients per day to 21 patients per day. the spike is a smaller increase in the context of previous surges, but still concerning as 43% of all new cases are stemming from the highly contagious delta variant. she says she is also worried about future outbreaks within

unvaccinated populations and not just those not eligible yet, but tens of thousands of children 12 and older in san francisco who are eligible, but still have not received their shots. so, dan, thinking back to when supply was our main issue, now we have plenty. it is just getting the shots into more arms and of course, the delta variant, both factors driving this recommendation. >> we all remember when we were desperate to get her hands on the vaccine. now so much is going unused. walk us through which bay area counties are showing the largest spikes in case rates. >> reporter: solano county has the largest rate right now, around eight new weekly cases for every 100,000 people. sonoma and contra costa are second with around seven. most bay area county case rates have at least doubled over the past few weeks, so the key will be to see what happens over the next month in terms of hospitalizations.

on midday live today, we asked is it fair to ask the vaccinated to mask up to help the unvaccinated. 62% voted yes and 38% voted no. opinions vary widely on this topic. wayne freedman found that out in person today. >> reporter: you can find a main street california in any county, like the downtown novato center, where new mask recommendations filtered in. >> new hollywood shutdown, covid the sequel. i'm disappointed. >> reporter: just one conversation at the creekside bakery, where the owner sounded skeptical. >> will there be other variants and other infections? there have been infections since the dawn of time. >> reporter: some customers treat this with various degrees of respect. michelle told us she wears a mask to protect her 2-year-old daughter. >> they are our future, so we have to do whatever we can to

keep them safe. >> reporter: we cannot take safety for granted. marin county, reporting an increase in cases. 37 of them as of today. >> i really don't want to close again. >> reporter: at angelic hair design, the owner had the sign outside her door since reopening. she had no complaints from customers. justine happens to have been one of the bay area's first covid breakthrough cases. she got the virus even after two vaccinations. >> i think masks are a good idea. >> reporter: but not popular. it sonoma fit, the owner watched covid take his business and watched it return. he worries now that mask recommendations may do him in. >> i am at the end of my rope, the complete end of my rope. >> reporter: we have not even mentioned disappointment in general. >> i am upset at people who are not vaccinated. >> reporter: he lost two family members to the pandemic. he says the backslide is not just about the virus coming back, but us opening the door.

>> i thought people if they really did the right thing, we would get through this. >> reporter: wayne freedman, abc7 news. >> so again, covid cases in the bay area are rising. check out this graph of the past six weeks. at the start of june we averaged 154 new cases. on june 15, it was over 200. a month later, the rolling average is 584, so the trend is clear. rising cases are just one factor behind today's recommendation. tonight, abc7 news reporter laura anthony takes you to contra costa county where hospitalizations have jumped. a patient population made up almost entirely of those who are unvaccinated. >> it is very disappointing. >> reporter: he has seen his share of heartbreak and loss. as an infectious disease specialist on the front lines of the covid fight. after weeks of low patient

counts, he finds what is happening now especially concerning. >> the vast majority of people we are seeing are people who are unvaccinated. that has been the driving force of new patients at the hospital. >> reporter: there are now 24 covid patients at the two hospitals, nearly half of all hospitalized covid patients and contra costa county. >> cases have gone from under 22/50 hospitalized patients with covid in our county in the last month. >> reporter: unlike at the height of the pandemic, the makeup has evolved from mostly older people, often with underlying conditions, to those much younger. >> they are almost exclusively unvaccinated and younger people, because most of our seniors have been vaccinated. we are seeing people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, really sick and in the hospital. >> reporter: other healthcare systems like ucsf, san francisco general, and stanford report similar upticks in the number of hospitalized covid patients and the vast majority

are not fully vaccinated. while the increase is certainly concerning, if there is a silver lining it is that relatively few patients are being treated in intensive care units. >> we probably have, i think, three or four on ventilators. they are being closely monitored for oxygen. the majority are not icu patients. >> reporter: still, the fact more people are being hospitalized in a county where 74% of those eligible are fully vaccinated means the covid fight is not yet over. in walnut creek, laura anthony, abc7 news point today on our 3:00 p.m. show, getting answers, we talked all things masks and vaccines. part of our vaccine team spoke with kristen sze and with the deputy health officer. >> i completely understand what is happening with the delta variant. you expect people in the community to follow this recommendation? the vaccinated and unvaccinated?

>> yes, i think most of our counties have been following recommendations and i think, you know, if we are providing accurate information in a timely way and we are saying this is probably going to be a recommendation for a limited time, 2 to 4 weeks, when the variant is increasing, i think if we are transparent in what we are thinking and we are not overly prescribing or overly mandating something. i think we have earned the trust of many people in our community. >> if you have questions about coronavirus vaccines, you can ask the abc7 news vaccine team. just go to abc7news.com. let's move on to a truly shocking and disturbing crime in the east bay. a 14-year-old fremont boy, 14, is accused of stabbing to death his mother and seriously injuring his father. police say they were called out to a home on silvester drive

after midnight and found the couple. they received a tip a short time later that led them to their suspect. >> 30 minutes after the search had started, we received a call from a resident about one mile away from the location. this person was reporting a juvenile covered in blood. >> investigators have not yet revealed a motive. names have not been released and the father remains hospitalized. today a federal judge in texas ruled that the deferred action for childhood arrivals program is unlawful. former president obama created daca in 2012 to provide undocumented miners protection from deportation. there are about 650,000 people in the program. a group of nine states sued, arguing the obama administration overextended its executive authority. the congressional hispanic caucus says it is more important than ever for congress to pass permanent protections and provide a

pathway to citizenship. today is the deadline for candidates to get paperwork filed if they want to run in california's recall election. when we checked the state website, there were 76 people listed. that does not include governor newsom. the recall is straightforward and voters will be asked two questions. first, do they want to recall the governor? second, if recalled, who should replace him? ballots will be mailed the week of august 16. the official date of the election is september 14. the pandemic and politics is a topic we will put two insider phil matier. he joins us live with his perspective. i have a look at warmer weather and possibly thunderstorms. i have the forecast. i am michael finney. my investigation into the edd is turning up information they

a quick note before we press on. i know some of you watching on comcast are having trouble with the signal. comcast is working on it. we think it is okay here, but we will get it fixed, so stay with us. michael finney joins us with an exclusive look at how the edd sees and even grades itself when you are not looking. the information he uncovered his insightful and the legislative response is explosive. you got a hold of these documents. edd did not turn them over. >> reporter: no, you can tell, they did not call me up and say michael, do you want these documents? we went to legal route, asking

for documents. by law, when we do that, they have to turn them over. among the information we uncovered as an annual customer satisfaction survey that is not meant for the public to see. we received three surveys with the latest dated february, 2021. it allows us to see what the edd does not think you can handle. look at this. the public and other entities may misinterpret the comments. the surveys recommendation, respondent comments be shared only with edd employees charged with improving the services. let's see how you will interpret or misinterpret some of the comments found in the survey. it took me almost four months to get in contact with anyone and i could not get my money to pay any bills. it took me an exceptionally long time to get someone on the phone. i give a f on this part. >> they have said that we need to keep the complaints of the

people of california secret, because we are concerned that they might misinterpret. there is no misinterpretation in this. the california edd has failed miserably. they are trying to cover-up their failures and their own surveys demonstrate the failure. >> reporter: that is harsh. >> it is. >> reporter: that is really harsh. assemblyman james patterson has been an outspoken critic of the edd. i shared the documents with him and his staff. >> this analysis, this survey, demonstrates that they are secretive. they are hiding the truth and they are complicit in a cover- up. >> reporter: i wanted to talk with the edd about this. it did not accept my request for an interview. looking further at the report finds questions about who got

surveyed. under methodology the survey says the targeted population includes customers with active unemployment insurance and pandemic unemployment assistance claims. i never read the phrase active claims before. it does not mean it is not out there, but i have not read it. >> i don't trust the edd when they say active claims. the signal they send to me is that they surveyed the people that were getting their payments. >> reporter: edd could have cleared this up for us, but did not agree to an interview. so how does the edd think it is doing? what is the surveys take away? well, there is a lot to wade through, but the executive summary leads off with this. despite unprecedented demand, most respondents are completely or mostly satisfied with the claim filing process. so according to the edd survey,

everything has gone well. according to the complaints flowing in to 7 on your side, not so much. >> interesting. as part of our efforts to build a better bay area, we look at changing workplaces, including reasons people are changing jobs. along with higher pay, there are other reasons that could prevent turnover. abc7 news reporter david louie looks at why so many jobseekers are unhappy. >> reporter: there are signs everywhere the economy is on a come back. in silicon valley, construction added 1600 jobs in june. 1700 manufacturing jobs and jobs in science, technology, and business. who was taking the jobs? not people laid off during the pandemic. it is workers landing better jobs because the unemployment rate increased. those who take the pulse of the job market say there are a lot of unhappy workers. 86% of remote workers and 81% of hybrid workers expressed

exhaustion, along with 69% of office workers. when it comes to burnout, 75% said they are burnt out a little to a great deal. should employers address this to retain workers? >> they have to address that or they risk a leaky bucket situation, where they are hiring people, but losing talent through the bottom. >> people know that skill sets are in demand. the economy is on fire. so there has never been a better time to be a job seeker. >> half of companies surveyed said they are offering cash signing bonuses, but that alone should not be the luer. >> what is your projected income going to be over your one, your two, your three? i think that is pivotal to whether or not you say yes. >> robert half says it is taking six weeks on average to fill a job. david louie, abc7 news. stay with us.

monday morning. if these thunderstorms materialize, they can produce lightning strikes that could trigger fires. this is mainly the higher elevations, the hills and mountains. the marine layer has produced more humidity for the vegetation at the lower levels, but in the upper elevations it is very dry. any strikes that may occur could trigger fires and there could be gusty wind. bear that in mind. here is why we have this pattern. you can see a flow of monsoonal moisture from the desert southwest intoand the bay area. sunday afternoon into monday, as the moisture comes into the atmosphere, the atmosphere becomes unstable. we get a couple of isolated, dry thunderstorms. again, lightning strikes in the high elevations on dry vegetation could trigger fire. current conditions, breezy out there. not terribly windy, but wind speeds up to 23 in san francisco and 20 at sfo. it is warmer than yesterday.

seven degrees warmer in novato. four degrees warmer in san francisco. east bay, nine degrees warmer. a warmer pattern is underway, but we do have a substantial marine layer building as you can see looking westward. these are current temperature readings. 61 in san francisco. mountain view, 71. san jose, 74. morgan hill, 77. 66 at pacifico. here is another look at the incoming fog. 76 in santa rosa. novato, 77. napa, 69. 87 at fairfield. from atop mt. tam, we look down at the advancing marine layer. the warming trend will continue through the weekend. dry thunderstorms i mentioned are possible late sunday into monday and of course there will be a risk of new wildfires, especially in the hills, because of the dryer vegetation. overnight tonight as we get advancing low clouds and fog

and spotty drizzle, overnight temperatures will be mainly in the low to mid 50s. tomorrow, 80 in san jose. 85 in morgan hill. 81 redwood city. 75, san mateo. downtown san francisco, a high of 65 tomorrow. in the north bay, mid-80s. east bay, generally low to mid 70s and inland will be the warmest region once again, with highs in the low 90s. here is the accuweather seven day forecast. warm weather lasts into early next week. sunday and monday we may see low 90s and then we get a cooling trend next wednesday which will carry us to the end of the week. >> looks good, thank you, spencer. twice this week a small plane has crashed killing the people on board. today it happened in napa county. a look at the similarities with the crash days ago in monterey. and next we are going live with insider

moving forward. finding solutions. this is abc7 news. building a better bay area is what we are all about and it means going beyond the headlines and digging deeper into the stories that affect our lives. joining us to discuss all of this is abc7 news insider phil matier. >> let's start with the topic of masks. most bay area health departments are recommending everyone wear masks inside, even if they are fully vaccinated. this is not a requirement, it is a recommendation. so far in california only los angeles county is requiring people to mask up indoors. that starts sunday. so, we want to know what you think about what is happening in the bay area. going too far, not far enough, thoughts? >> that was the back-and-forth behind closed doors and it was triggered in part by los angeles and an alarming spread of the covid variant, which is now spreading throughout

california and it is especially harmful to people who have not been vaccinated. health officials and city officials are taking a look at how to try to keep it from hitting the critical point of hospitalizations that would swamp the hospitals. what we feared in the first round of covid. they decided the best way to treat things is to try to get the unvaccinated, vaccinated. even if you get the variant and are vaccinated, you will get a cold. if you are unvaccinated, it can be catastrophic. that is the problem, what they are doing. to go with full masks, there are also politics involved and not the least of which, it was a month ago that the governor said masks off. california is roaring back. it does not look or sound too good to roar back if you are wearing a mask. it is not necessarily a good image for the state or for a governor, who today is facing a

recall. >> let's talk about that, phil. pandemic politics. governor newsom does face that recall election in mid- september. ballots go out in a month. today was the deadline for people to enter the race and as we reported, he has 76 challengers. how much of a role will pandemic restrictions play in the recall? clearly the governor will not want to lock things down again as a decision he makes, because that can really cost him. >> you hit on two things. no, he does not want to lock down. he does not want to return to the tier system we had. he does not want that and does not necessarily want to get involved with going with the masks, as it is. we did not hear anything out of the governor's office officially today. he has left it up to the counties and is leaving it to the locals and i think that is intentional. they are on the ground and what they are facing, but it also distances him from being the bearer of bad news at a time when we are still dealing with fires, dealing with drought,

and dealing with what could be a return of a variant on covid. not a great combination. >> also dealing with crime, homelessness, and more. >> it could go on and on and a recall. all of this swims together. the goal is to get people vaccinated and officials in the bay area think okay, raise awareness, try to get it done. we will see how it works and if it doesn't, it could get more serious. >> phil, thank you very much as always. you can check out the documentary about california's last recall in 2003. see how arnold schwarzenegger became the governor when gray davis was recalled. you will find it on the abc7 news app available for apple tv and other devices. now to and update from the i-team. prosecutors filed felony charges against five activists for vandalism at the former home of a police officer

testified for the defense and the murder of george floyd. five days after he testified, someone left a pig said and splattered pigs blood at the former home of the retired officer. the five activists face felony vandalism and conspiracy charges. their first hearings are scheduled next month. developing news out of pleasanton. volunteers were searching again today and asking for help for anyone with a drone. cray chick was last seen six days ago when he went for a run. his car was found with his wallet and cell phone inside and there has been no sign of him since. on wednesday, abc7 news spoke with his wife, who is not about to give up hope, and asked for help in the search. >> we ask people to have faith with us, that he is out there, alive, waiting for us. we ask that people continue to help us and we will bring him home together.

>> authorities called off the official search on wednesday night, but volunteers continued. three people were killed in napa county when an aborted landing went horribly long. wrong. it went down just south of the airport. the pilot tried to do a go around, when the plane clipped trees at the end of the runway. the airport crashed in a vineyard south of the airport and caught fire. the pilot and two passengers did not survive. their identities have not been released. a follow-up to another deadly plane crash that left two people dead earlier this week in monterey county. the pilot was flying her friend to her son's medical procedure in sacramento. the twin engine cessna went down right after takeoff on tuesday. friends say she was an experienced pilot and a certified flight instructor.

deterrent. items you typically see in those situations are items that are easily stolen and then turned around and sold. >> reporter: she is president and ceo of the california retailers association. >> a priority for retail in particular is to make sure employees have a safe place to work and customers have a safe place to shop. >> reporter: we found similar locked display cases at the safeway on king street. in a statement, a spokesperson writes in part, quote, we use industry best practices to secure high theft items which varies by location. this practice serves as a deterrent and provides product availability for customers rather than remove product from the shelf. >> we are seeing it in other bay area cities, across the state, and nationally. >> reporter: cvs rights, these measures have been in place for several years at all of our stores and not just at cvs. an employee should this photo taken in the past.

>> spencer is tracking the weekend and beyond. >> we have a weekend warm-up coming our way. it is up that we have a fire weather watch. it is the possibility sunday afternoon into monday as well of dry lighting. if we have lightning strikes in the high elevations, it could trigger fire. so this is in effect from 5:00 p.m. sunday to 11:00 a.m. monday. gusty wind is accompanying the pattern that could trigger them, so bear that in mind. overnight conditions will have an increasing amount of low clouds pushing across the bay and inland. patchy drizzle near the coast. lows mainly in the low to mid 50s. tomorrow, high temperatures under mainly sunny skies from 62 on the coast to low to mid 70s around the bay to low 90s in the warmest inland areas. you can see how warm it will be

after tomorrow. mid-90s on sunday and monday. upper 70s around the bay. low 90s on tuesday and then we get a breezy and cool pattern beginning on wednesday. >> thank you, spencer. starting next week, the hugely popular 10 part commandery "the last dance" is coming to our sister network streaming app espn+. the warriors coach plays a big part in the series about michael jordan's career and dynasty. jim rose from our sister station in chicago spoke with the director. >> reporter: "the last dance" will begin straining on espn+ starting this monday. >> we went to one of the all- time best dynasties. all you needed was one match. to start that whole fire. >> reporter: the emmy award- winning documentary follows michael jordan and the chicago bulls during the final championship season of 1998. it revealed a world few have been able to see and gave insight and one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

abc7 sports, sponsored by river rock casino. >> the city of oakland released their proposal to the oakland a's on the stadium to be built at howard terminal. depending on your perspective,

progress has been made or this is a step in the wrong direction. the city term sheet indicates the two sides are almost $352 million apart from getting a deal done. that includes stadium, retail housing, hotel, infrastructure upgrades. we interviewed dave kaval and he said the team will follow the laws for the inclusion of affordable housing and agreed the team will not move for at least 30 years. the a's said they need to set up a secondary tax district to make up that $352 million, but the city does not want that in the deal. the county will vote on their own term sheet on tuesday. a yes vote on that proposal is a no vote for the a's. >> that is why we really need a boat this summer, on tuesday hopefully, affirming the financial framework between the parties. in the current proposal they articulated, it really does not do that. we are hopeful that between now and then changes could be made and we can get closer, but that is a huge gap that we haven't

really why the term sheet released today was really a step backwards. >> that is one perspective. meanwhile, the oakland mayor released a statement saying we appreciate the a's working with us to reach consensus on financial terms, as well as continuing to problem solve between now and approval of a binding development agreement. they are far away from consensus. keep in mind, the city council votes on july 20, tuesday. that is a a's self-imposed deadline and talks can continue past that. we still do not know if alameda county or the state could contribute money to make up the gap, so this is a long way before it is done. how good is tom brady? the seven-time super bowl champion played all of last season with a torn ligament in his left knee. it is believed he suffered that injury in his last season with the patriots. the buccaneers never listed the knee on any official injury reports in the nfl will have

something to say about that, because that is a big deal. brady had surgery to fix his knee after winning the super bowl. round two of the british open and the rough there has not been mowed in two years. it looks like my yard, actually, except mine is more brown. my goodness. anyway, johnson is in third. his open debut, in second. he birdies the fifth, but everyone is chasing the leader who broke the record with an eagle on 10. his only major was the open 11 years ago. nba action, the box and sons meet in game five tomorrow night right here on abc7. khris middleton had 40, but the play of the game was giannis antetokounmpo with the block.

look at him get up. they are both at the top of a square. he is not basking in the moment when he knows there is still work to be done. >> i cannot explain the day, but at the end of the day that is in the past. great moment. i appreciate the moment. great moment. got to move on. >> we know we want to do what we do as a team and it will not be easy at all, so get that out of your head and embrace the moment and understand that. you know, this is it. it will be tough, but you have to overcome obstacles. >> fans were thinking about that block and they liken it to the block by lebron james on the warriors a few years ago. all right, sports on abc7 sponsored by river rock casino. i did ask dave kaval about the simplest solution with the stadium. to sell the team to someone who can afford to build the project.

the response to that was, the team is not for sale. >> but you just threw it out there. thanks. coming up tonight, at 8:00, shark tank. followed by 20/20 at 9:00 and don't miss abc7 news at 11:00. you can watch our newscast live and on demand through the connected tv app available for apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. download the app and start streaming. finally, a few thoughts about what really matters. here we go again. just as we were feeling hopeful about some light at the end of the tunnel, here comes the train. the delta express is speeding us back to mask recommendations and restrictions are expected to get worse before they get better. expected to get worse, may be much worse, for the unvaccinated. at this moment those who have not or will not get the shot are bearing the brunt in the spike of new cases, here and around the country. more than 95% of those

hospitalized with covid are unvaccinated. that speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the vaccine and the risks people who will not get one are taking. those of us who are protected need to remember the vaccine does not make us impervious to the virus, especially with cases rising. more people need to take action to help themselves and the community by getting the vaccine. what really matters is that we are all being asked, once again, to do our part. i love to hear from you. let me know what you think and follow me on twitter and facebook. that will do it for this edition of abc7 news. thank you so much for joining us, i am ama daetz. >> i am dan ashley. we appreciate your time and hope you have a nice rest of the evening and that you can make a little time for us tonight at 11:00. >> see you then.
