6:01 pm
reporter lyanne melendez and the concern in san francisco. >> reporter: here is the situation. even if you get more people vaccinated tomorrow, it will be more than a month before they are protected from covid. the health department knows this and that is why a mask mandate for san francisco and other unes is all but certain. they say mitigation is key. when san francisco mayor london breed arrived at an outdoor event wearing a mask, it was a clear sign of things to come. >> we are definitely close to a mandate of wearing masks and i know people are tired of being told what to do, but the fact is, this is where we are. >> reporter: following that statement, the health director, dr. colfax, said he would meet with other health officials to take action as early as next week. >> delta is causing the vast majority of our cases right now. this surge is going faster than the surge we saw in the fall or
6:02 pm
winter. >> reporter: carlos owns a restaurant in the mission district. he says his staff never stopped wearing a mask. >> we wear your mask. sit down. sanitize your hands. us, waiters, wear a mask. >> reporter: while there are only a few cases, breakthrough infections are also being recorded. these are people fully vaccinated who are getting covid. colfax said we are here again because not enough people have gotten the vaccine. the bay view is the neighborhood with the highest number of people who have yet to be vaccinated, followed by bernal heights. in the mission, well known activist roberto hernandez, who runs the mission district food hub, says he knows a few who are still skeptical about getting the vaccine, despite the outrage. >> one of them is against getting vaccines. vaccin up, sk upfollowed
6:03 pm
procedures. she is in the hospital. one specific person said, roberto, i know people who got the vaccine that got covid after they got the vaccine, so how do you explain that to me? i said, yeah, they are not dead. it is that simple. >> reporter: like that mother he mentioned, right now there are 86 people hospitalized in san francisco with covid. 24 are in the icu and i have to tell you, this is striking to many of us. on average, san francisco is reporting 176 cases of covid per day. in early summer we had a low of 12 new cases. covid on steroids, as dr. colfax said. >> if we are seeing these surges, why are we going into the weekend without a mask mandate? why not impose it today? >> reporter: that's right and you know weekends or when people go out to restaurants and bars and we are likely to
6:04 pm
see a spike, but dr. colfax hinted today that he did not want to make a decision on his own. he is exploring, he said, with other counties about mandating masks and my senses that he wants other counties to do this with him. in other words, strength in numbers. >> all right, thank you. in the east bay, an outbreak is unfolding at contra costa county jails. health officials report 96 inmates and staff members of tested positive. martinez detention facility, marsh creek detention facility, and west county detention facility. no one has required hospitalization. as of this week, facility staff will have to be vaccinated or undergo testing. all inmates have been offered vaccines. a couple of hours ago we spoke live with dr. mike wasserman. he told us he thinks covid is here to stay for some time and he explained why. >> i think those of us who have been following this for the
6:05 pm
past 17 months of recognized that covid will be with us throughout our lifetime and certainly for the next few years. even if we do everything in our power to mitigate the pandemic in the united states, the fact that other countries and other people are dealing with the same issues, are going to allow for the creation of mutations. and those mutations, like the delta variant, or what is going to continue to confound us and create challenges. >> the cdc released new data today indicating the delta variant is changing the war on this pandemic. abc7 news reporter stephanie sierra combed through the data and breaks it down. >> reporter: no data from the cdc shows the delta variant is twice as infectious as previously thought. now considered just as transmissible as chicken box and more transmissible than mars, sars, ebola, common cold, seasonal flu, spanish flu, and
6:06 pm
smallpox. as the document states, the war has changed. >> it is capable of transmitting even from vaccinated individuals and that is the game changer. >> reporter: what was your initial reaction to this report? >> i was depressed. >> reporter: she says the new data from the cdc suggest the need for an indoor mask mandate is imminent. >> i am not sure i see a way out of this, short of going back to an indoor mask mandate. 100% of the time. >> reporter: the cdc report highlights data from an outbreak with 469 covid cases identified among people who travel to a county in massachusetts in early to mid july. 74% of those infected were fully vaccinated. >> the virus in the people who were vaccinated was equivalent to those who were unvaccinated. >> reporter: auc ucsf doctor tweeted these breakthrough
6:07 pm
cases can spread the virus more readily than previously thought. >> when i walk in the safeway, it's far more likely the person standing next to me feels fine and has covid and does not know it, so you will see more breakthrough infections. >> reporter: the report also mentions the infection may be longer, which means once infected you may spread the virus for 18 days, rather than 13 days. do you think the 14 day quarantine requirement could be extended for those infected with delta? >> it is possible for certain individuals, particularly those who are immunocompromised and unvaccinated, for example. they may produce the virus longer. >> reporter: is first testing, we should all start thinking about getting regularly tested. >> i don't see any reason not to go back to much more regular testing. >> reporter: she says ideally we should all get tested at least once or twice a week, even if we don't have symptoms.
6:08 pm
this is because of the concern over asymptomatic spread, especially if you are regularly in contact with friends and family who are immunocompromised. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. the report from the cdc may come across as alarming, especially for those who are vaccinated. dr. alok patel is an integral part of the abc7 news vaccine team. he explains why while it may be unnerving, it still provides a critical level of protection. >> the really important take away, these breakthrough infections are still likely to be mild. so nothing has changed, yet, about the recommendation and the statement that the vaccine will prevent hospitalizations or death, almost tenfold. >> with the delta variant and breakthrough cases reported, some people are wondering if they should get a booster shot before it is even approved or recommended. melanie woodrow has that part of our coverage. >> reporter: is health
6:09 pm
officials encourage unvaccinated people to get the covid-19 vaccinations, some people already vaccinated are wondering how they can get an additional or booster shot. marin county health officials say they have received lots of requests from individuals wanting a booster. special correspondent dr. alok patel. >> there is no evidence to suggest the average person should go out and try to get a booster shot. >> reporter: marin county says it has safeguards to prevent someone from getting a self prescribed booster, including online registration tied to the california immunization registry and i.d. checks. santa clara county has electronic records to look up whether someone already received the vaccine. cvs pharmacy says there are a few ways to identify a patient who is trying to get a self prescribed booster shot. although the ability to detect these situations is limited. ways include if the patient is truthful and lets the provider know they are trying to get an additional dose. if the patient uses their insurance to cover the cost,
6:10 pm
while registering to receive an additional dose. end of the previous dose appears in the states immunization information system. walgreens tells abc7 news they also ask patients to verify eligibility and that covid-19 vaccines are not interchangeable. the safety and efficacy of a third dose has not been evaluated. >> people with pre-existing conditions were above the age of 65 may need a booster shot in the future, but i urge the general public to wait for data and if they have specific questions regarding their own situation, their exposure and underlining medical conditions, that they chat with her doctor. >> reporter: melanie woodrow, abc7 news. >> remember if you have questions about coronavirus vaccines, ask the vaccine team. just go to abc7news.com/vaccine. bart set a record for weekday ridership. starting monday, service will return to near pre-pandemic

6:53 pm
basically a better roster depth down the stretch. both free agents after this season. the prospects are all in single- a right now. toe hoops, the warriors are trying to thread the needle. that was the goal last night. draft players who can immediately help make another title run, while at the same time hoping they can develop the stars of the future. they met the media today. just 18 years old. moody is 19. it will be hard for teenagers to make an immediate impact. general manager bob myers will look for veteran free agents, but likes the upside of the pics. >> to get to guys like this that can play as long as they did together, would be a dream come true for us. >> there is going to be a lot of expectation for both of us as a rookie and a team going to the finals. we are here and going to work

hard and do whatever we can to help the team to win. >> we are young guys, so i am going to try to develop and see how i can fit and help the team do what they want to do, but early in my career, that is what it is about, finding my spot. >> meanwhile the lakers made a massive upgrade, getting russell westbrook to play alongside lebron and anthony davis. they need to add some shooters and free agency, because i don't know who will make a jump shot. they had to give up multiple players to the wizards. they might have thrown in some in fts to make the money balance out. they also get first-round picks. maybe they will take lebron with one of them. something to look forward to. sports on abc7, sponsored by river rock casino. the last 24 hours have been crazed. we were at chase center last night, counting down as the

6:56 pm
judgmental of those who have been. my friend does not trust the government, pharmaceutical companies, the media. i would like to think present company excepted, but i don't think so. the conversation was frustrating, because her eyes and ears were clearly and completely closed to any and all data about the virus and vaccines. it was eye-opening, because she is not alone in her thinking and the refusal to get the vaccine. i realized the conversation was going nowhere and steered it to another direction. reflecting later, what really matters is to listen and understand why people like my friend won't get the shot and instead of trying to persuade someone to get the vaccine, offer the reasons you did. for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated, after all, we are still all in this together. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. that is it for this edition of abc7 news.
