>> the choice now is either to get the vaccine, or to get covid . >> with covid cases and hospitalizations rising among the unvaccinated, health officers and three bay area counties, say it's just the next logical step. a strong recommendation that employers require their employees to get vaccinated . >> nonvaccinated workers pose a risk not only to themselves but also to their coworkers members of the public they interact with . >> in contra costa county and unvaccinated person is now more than 20 times more likely to get covid then someone fully vaccinated . >> what we want to do is empower businesses with this recommendation and safe public health is fully behind these type of requirements. >> i think if people are fully vaccinated, and they feel safe and it's a safe environment, i think it's you know, it makes sense . >> but can businesses legally require their employees to get a vaccine that's not yet fully approved by the fda? >> there isn't any law from prevent a private air from any

so long as the condition is not unlawful. >> several large employers like the university of california have already announced they will require students and employees to be fully vaccinated . >> there are many employers in the state and around the country who have begun to require vaccination for their workforce. and, these requirements have been upheld in the courts. >> at this point again, it's just the three counties, san francisco, santa clara and contra costa recommendations to employers. they did not rule out in the press event today that other bay area counties may follow, of course at this point it's a recommendation not a health order, but they again did not rule out that at some point, kristin and larry, this could become an order. >> it's interesting to see how this is going to evolve your but if it's legal, though, why

haven't more employers simply said you are required to get vaccinated, at least up to this point they have not said that for the most part? >> not many, we've seen university of california, the city and county of san francisco, they are all going along that path. the employment attorney that we spoke with today said it's pretty simple, most employers did not want to go down this path, they are not comfortable with issues around their employees personal health , but at this point there required by the state to gather the vaccination information anyway so it would not be that much more difficult to mandate that their employees get vaccinated and of course, there would have to be exemptions for those who have strong religiou beliefs and of course those who have medical concerns that would prohibit them or make it a bad idea at least, to get a vaccine. >> thank you very much.

starting monday, san mateo county will require everyone to wear a mask inside county buildings, regardless of vaccination status. supervisor site rising cases and hospitalizations and the need to slow the spread of the delta variant. on a 3:00 show getting answers, i asked the supervisor about the possibility of a countywide mask mandate. he said it could happen if numbers continue to increase at an astronomical rate. >> we've been following guidance from the state, we will continue to bunt if there is a need and our health officer as well as the board of supervisors and we have to do that, we will do that but we really have to recognize all impacts from taking such an action . >> the county does have a very high rate of vaccination, 88% of residents, 12 and older are fully vaccinated . >> impressive . the pandemic has caused the largest decline in u.s. life expectancy since world war ii, life expectancy

>> let's turn to our weather and spencer, it's amazing and it's something we've obviously experienced here in the bay area, seeing the smoke carry miles and miles and in this case, as we just saw, all across the country . >> it's amazing, it's reaching across the continental you as of course fortunately for the bay area the smoke is blowing away from us but there are so many aliens of people in its path and that's the unfortunate part. we are looking at a low pressure system to our north, that the primary factor that's guiding the onshore flow we have right now which is bringing a bit of a cooling or at least a moderating influence, it's also bringing a little more humidity into the bay area, so that means our fuel, our vegetation, won't be quite so dry. but over the next day or two we will see the high-pressure system to our south, east, sliding west, it's going to bring us a warm-up which of course will increase concerns about fire but, by sunday and monday, it'll also bring us more humidity and more clouds which will reduce concerns about fire so at the moment, we've got a pattern that looks pretty good for us

course uses our concerns, for now, about fires . >> thank you. this happened disco fire department says inspectors shut down numerous illegal vendors at fisherman's wharf today following a safety scare yesterday. the move came after a report earlier this week about illegal vendors there. >> for some, san francisco's fisherman's wharf has become a wild west. illegal vendors line the wharf a popular destination selling food and drinks, sometimes alcohol and often without a permit. the unlicensed bending became a potentially even bigger safety issue wednesday afternoon. we show this video to the san francisco fire department, that confirms there appears to have been an explosion, fire department spokesperson said it was likely caused by a butane burner, that still under investigation . >> this vendor and the patrons that were coming into the booth are extremely lucky that there were no injuries . >> earlier this week officials

and business owners share their concerns with abc 7 news . >> these people come and set up shop and are able to sell without having any of these things that a business is supposed to have . >> you have to have a level playing field in terms of health and safety . >> legislation authored by his office and unanimously approved by the board of supervisors this week better regulates unpermitted vending, he said it was designed to address exactly the types of concerns that resulted in yesterday's incident. in a statement, supervisor peskin wrote the legislation preserves opportunities for entrepreneurial straight street vendors while holding all parties to hire standards. >> for the wharf's executive director . >> we look forward to working with the vendors in a legal, permitted, safe fashion . >>

department says even if they were to walk around the wharf looking for violations of the vendor mitigates the risk in front of them say by turning off a butane burner, they can't issue a citation. >> the easiest route for us is that we get a citizen or community member complained for a specific incident that gives us a little more fuel to go out and actually enforce these at this time . >> efforts to ensure the safety and vibrancy of fisherman's wharf as a destination a section of freeway into lotto county is named in honor of a fallen chp officer. family members and law enforcement personnel gathered for dedication ceremony today for officer kirk chris, he will be memorialized on of five, the officer, a 19 year veteran was hit and killed during a traffic stop in 2018. he left a wife and three children .

>> what you are looking at here is roots from the switchgrass and surrounding plants . >> the doctor splits time between berkeley and the lawrence livermore lab searching for ways to sequester pollutants ground with a use of specific plans, in this case, switchgrass. >> the root system can go down 50 feet. we've measured it to 12 or 15, and i got sick of digging at that point . >> and deepest good, especially if you understand the plans including switchgrass the carbon that's co2 as part of photosynthesis pushing it down to the root system weren't interacts with nutrients in the ground. at death of several feet, researchers say co2 is essentially sequestered from the atmosphere . >> if we are putting carbon that even the ground were never going to plow that deep. it is a way of literally locking away carbon . >> researchers say metric tons of carbon have already been lost over the last century,

>> come on, we don't need to have the best and most efficient trash cans in the world, anyway, we just at to have trashcan that were, even at $3000 that's awful lot, i know we can't go to cosco and put them on the street, they have to be specially designed but to spend $12,000-$20,000 for a trashcan, we've got better uses for our money and my judgment, like the one supervisor said that's ridiculous . >> if it flew and emptied itself, then we've got something. now we are talking, kristen? >> i think they should offer $20,000 as a prize silicon valley engineer a college student engineering student who can design a better mousetrap for say, $1000 . >> you can certainly produce a tamperproof durable secure trashcan for under 10,000, $5000. the earlier first was right when he said it's a fox news headline waiting to happen. >> san francisco is going to

require city employees be vaccinated, this is new, mayor breed tweeted this afternoon that san francisco is requiring city employees to be vaccinated in order to protect the public health, adding, i applaud the businesses that are stepping up to do the same with their employees. we need widespread vaccinations to end the pandemic. so san francisco, contra costa and santa clara also recommending businesses require that employees get vaccinated as well but san francisco is taking the steps and that doesn't mean drivers, police lie officers, everybody vaccinated, what do you think, spencer? >> well, i'm forgetting vaccinated and we've all been vaccinated, so i'm not against a mandate for being vaccinated at all. but there's a lot of resistance out there, and i don't want to make light of it . >> i would say i agree with spencer completely, i would say that you know,

to create some exemptions for certain cases but certain cases not just i don't like it or i don't feel like getting one. but, listen, they've been proven fairly effective and proven very safe, there have been some incidents, but in the main they are quite safe and they are certainly effective at what we are seeing now with the rise of the delta variant. it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. the vast majority, 95+ percent of those getting sick now are unvaccinated . >> the nfl is stepping up the pressure on players vaccinated, a memo issued today lays out strict protocols that will penalize teams including, possible forfeits if an outbreak among unvaccinated players puts the league's schedule in jeopardy. the fourth it's good happen if the league was unable to schedule a game involving a team experiencing an outbreak. the team would also be responsible for recovering lost revenue from the game. so, you could see the direction

they are heading here, the nfl wants to get back to business as usual and they're going to use peer pressure, imagine, if you are in the playoff chase, and you are the unvaccinated guy and you get sick and now, you have to have 10 guys in quarantine and you either can't play or you are at a severe disadvantage but the pressure on all of the players to actually get vaccinated, spencer, it's going to be quite clear . >> it is. i think it's a good move by the nfl. the pressure on the team to put the pressure on the individuals who refuse to get vaccinated. no nfl player wants to forfeit a game, right? >> right. and you know, i think it's going to be effective, just because were not going to want to be that guy, or guys, that cost her team whether it's a game or whatever . >> i'm curious as to what the rate of vaccination is in the nfl . >> some teams are at 50%, some teams at 80% and they are a private business so the nfl can
