vaccine resistant. we have seen locally and nationally incentives or bribes for people to come in and get a vaccine. is the county seeing more people wanting a vaccination at this point? >> reporter: they have got to have seen an uptick for sure, not so much here, this site is opening and no one here yet. there are appointment booked and there are walk-ins available. it looks empty but hopefully it will pick up in the next hour or so. for the county they are seeing an uptick, not only of people looking or seeking out appointments and vaccines information copied to think it is because of any incentives, but they don't have cash tonight, but if people are taking a look at those infection numbers, they are seeing if they are on vaccinated, you are 10 times more likely to get covid cop and if you are in

fact vaccinated. they say people are arming themselves at this point, with more information. thank you, laura anthony, in pittsburg . dr. monica gandhi explained to us some of the reasoning behind the mask mandate today. >> why we put back masks and why the cdc put back masks isn't because they don't think the vaccines work, it is because there were a lot more breakthrough infections that were being seen right now with the more highly transmissible variant. they are trying to? those of vaccination from breakthrough. the transmission rate luckily, will be able to go back to not wearing a mask . >> it is frustrating for a lot of people who believe they have done their part because they got vaccinated. we now have tips from a psychologist about masking up once again.

elizabeth warren. >> do you think that will polarize people? >> she did, she does. >> reporter: a new poll shows there is a slim margin, the vice president of policy at the camino latino organization. >> i am not surprised. they have been through a lot between the public health raises we experienced and also be economic consequences. >> reporter: the team is reaching out to latino voters and airing ads across the state. >> i think that is fine, but understand that if you are producing spanish, to call the outreach, is insufficient. the almost majority of the voters are young, a lot don't speak spanish. a lot of things that could help our --

>> there are more in the state of california than there are people in the state of arizona. right? that is a huge demonstration of the immense power that the latino voters have in the state of california. this election will decide whether latino people turned up to vote at all, and if they do turn up to vote, whether or not they decide to keep this governor. with someone else. >> i did ask governor newsom if we will see bernie sanders or president biden help out in the coming weeks. he said stay tuned, which i think we can expect that will happen, whether or not it is in person or virtually call we will see. this will be an all hands on deck situation. >> no doubt. democrats have said this is a recall backed by others, they say it is a republican power grab is that the method they try to drive home over the next 6 weeks? >> that is, they keep the message and they plan to talk

about what is at stake. they hope to highlight the national implication saying that if the publican can win they would have the power to nominate a replacement in the senate, if there is a vacancy. that would tip the balance of the senate nationally. supporters of the recall say voters aren't just on national politics are focused on the very real issues facing the state we will see. >> all right, thank you. and you can check out the documentary about california's last recall in 2003, called "total recalled" you can find it on the abc 7 available apple tv and other devices. going back to school, we will check in with the vaccine team experts on the very latest on the

vaccine team is joining us now, to talk a little bit more about the recent surge in cases, and a new report out says children or cases in children have nearly doubled in the past week, in the united states. how alarming is that for you, as we start to talk about back to school scenarios? >> it is alarming, it is just another example of how incredibly contagious this variant is. let's be realistic and think about the fact that we were looking at numbers previously, not only did we have a list contagious variance, but we were in lockdown. it is surprising, but it is something to keep our eye on as we get back to in prison learning. two things need to happen, we need to have protective measures for those who cannot get vaccinated, and everyone about the age of 12 who can be vaccinated copies to do so to protect the young was. >> all right, so back-to- school, there are a lot of parents who don't want their kids to wear a mask. we have

seen people protesting about that. what is your overall take the house a visit to go back to school? should kids be masked up? >> there is one thing we need to keep in mind, it is a mostly a unifying force, everyone on everyone side of the argument once kids back in person learning. then we talk about how to keep them safe kids under 12 cannot get vaccinated. what do you want to do? we have to mask up and encourage teachers and everyone around them to be vaccinated. if we can get distancing great, if you can get ventilation, but is awesome. there has to be some protective measure, we cannot let this be like it is fall 2019, when we have an incredibly contagious and potentially more dangerous variant out there. so when we think about it common thread we can reach on both sides of the aisle. >> yesterday, sf general a lot people who look at the johnson and johnson vaccine, the ability to get a pfizer or moderna burster booster.

here is the response from the white house. >> that isn't based on public health guidance divided by the cbc. that has not changed, no different localities will make the decision, but is not affected of current public health guidance. >> what do you think i am trying to remember, i think was a report out of europe indicating mixing the vaccines actually would be a better deterrent than sticking with one. where are you on this? >> you are right, there are a couple of reports out of europe looking at making astrazeneca in combination with pfizer. was another study out of new york sewing it is possible to lower antibody response, and johnson and johnson may not be as responsive to the delta variant. as of right now there is no national guidance for people out there, to be taking an additional shot if they got johnson and johnson. this is happening vocally in san francisco. with and it country if you are

curious, speak with your physician, or if you are concerned and you have questions. one thing that concerns me is when we do things like this and it is not based on national guidance i wouldn't want the average person to run out and lie cvs to get an additional shot that is what i am hearing now on social media. people think hey, i got the johnson & johnson, should i go down to get pfizer or moderna? that is the focus. >> on one hand we can't get enough people to vaccinate, and on the other hand we have people getting too many vaccinations. >> where is the middle ground? >> what are your colleagues -- we heard one say we never make it to herd immunity, at this rate. >> he is a legend, i agree with him if we are talking about vaccines acquired herd immunity. unfortunately, we could get to a level of herd immunity, if we combine vaccine and national

immunity. this means more people are getting infected, hospitalized, and diane. one thing that is probably in our future, is the coronavirus become endemic, meaning it will be with us for the foreseeable future. we will have a certain level of community immunity against it, and hopefully we will see less of an impact than what we are seeing now. it is concerning, even with what is happening now, and hospitals filling up, we are rarely over 80% of the country fully vaccinated, others in the world would do anything to have the privilege to go get a vaccine, for free, down the street. >> it is a bizarre situation, we have all of the resources but people don't want to take advantage of it. as always, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. ikea, your heart is at the heart of everything you do. and if you have heart failure, there's entresto. trtoasroven peri

and if you have heart failure, at hedon't take entrestove anout if pregnant, it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto.

we are already seeing that in places that require a simple mask. what is your take? >> i am not opposed to the mandate at all but i don't know how you enforce it. there is an angry and vocal element out there that will resist. i hate seeing restaurant employees put in the position of enforcing a mandate. i am not opposed to it. i want to live, i want the people around me to live. >> that is a good goal. >> yes. >> the rest of the weather department wants you to live. fit want to cover your shift. >> like you said, i worry about the workers who have to deal with people coming in and saying i am not going to do this or that. has gone to a point of ridiculousness. it is hard, how do you enforce it? how do you not make it difficult thing for employees? >> it puts the burden on others

, if you don't get a vaccination, you don't get to enjoy the shows, or restaurants. it is a perk. right? we told you yesterday that san francisco general is offering a supplemental dose of the mrna vaccine, for anyone who got the johnson and johnson boxing. but as you just heard, science doesn't necessarily support this . focal communities can still do it. the chief of emergency medicine said the data so far does support use, in everything he is seeing, suggesting datable recommended soon, making it very clear they are not currently recommending that. but you have johnson & johnson, talk to your doctor and say i need the pfizer or moderna for whatever reason, they will give it to you now. what do you think? are you ready to get another shot? will we call it a booster? >> whatever it takes. that is it, end of story, period. do what we have to do to make

it safe for everyone. >> sensor? >> yes, i trust the experts and i trust science. we should get a booster, give me a booster, i will be the first in line. >> yeah. larry, if you got johnson and johnson, really even pfizer, a study they put out a few weeks ago, if you get the third shot your immunity can go up or at least antibodies, i shouldn't say immunity. >> they were suggesting that we may need it at some point. we will see. if you like ikea's famous swedish meatball, you will love the scented candle. this candle is offered as part of a sweepstakes celebrating the 10th anniversary of the loyalty program. 1000 people will win the candle. 900 and prize winners will get a store in a box. that reminds me of a comedy routine. this contains some of the most

a lot of energy when you do this right now, in addition to work that the police department will be leading, a follow-up investigation and working with our coroners treat this case with the utmost investigative integrity and make sure we are checking everything and treating it the highest level, to make sure we do not miss anything. at the end of the day i think everyone, especially the family wants answers as to why and how did this happen, why did it happen, they deserve this answer, we will do everything we can do in our power to make sure we do our job correctly, and give those answers, and to our community, and those that have dedicated a tremendous about of time and love into this case. we got to the scene not to long ago, as i said, we are starti w oupeve

whweelveup d apoa the enwe want every detail, anytime when you walk onto a scene like that you don't want to disturb of right now, person we believe to be philip, in an area that is covered, that is not readily visible and seen from the trail. i think the state park will come up and answer a few more questions about the geographics of that area, and how all of that works. we know, based on where we located the remains, that he was off the running course, for sure. i will have our partners explained that. >> captain? as we believe philip was located in a

remote area of the park. it is not designated trail. is our partners eluded to, it was a game trail 250 yards of the trail, he was located near a tree. that is what we know at this point. we are going to be looking into further details on what transpired. at this point, it is very preliminary in investigation. i just want to reiterate that our hearts and thoughts go out to the philip kreycik family. >> [ inaudible question ] >> it appears i have not been up there, but it appears from the report that i have received, that this area is not readily e to g by the public. it is in an area that is not designated recreation. it would not be something that someone would come across. >> [ inaudible question ]

>> when we say game trail, something that is used by a deer or raccoon, something that beats down the grass, to something designated, it looks like a trail. philip could have very easily thought it was a trail he was on. these are common in all of our facilities copies type of trails are not designated. it is easy to get disoriented out there. at this point, that is all we have to conclude. he went off ofthatrail. h where the search crew -- >> yeah. right now we did a elementary measurement based on the gps that we have it maybe a quarter-mile, close to 2000 feet

from the end of a trail where we believe philip should have been a turn to go back to the start of his route. we are looking into that now and i am talking to our search and rescue people call we are going over our maps to see if we got into that area, did research the area? like i said, it is quite a bit off of the trail. roughly at this point it estimates one quarter-mile. based on the terrain there, you could continue on straight, and not realize that you had gone off the trail, potentially. we are looking into all of that now. we are reaching back to our search and rescue people, to see where and what areas we searched the environment out there plays on your eyes you are trying to look through multiple layers of density, ha e ext ar a t of wmoreti

about th the sechand w close we were, or how close gentry -- >> any other westerns at this time? >> [ inaudible question ] my understanding it's this is an individual who set out on his own, a small search party located the deceased individual and contacted additional folks who came in. friends and other people who had been up there for a while, and from there they contacted the police district. the police department. well, this is the news that the family and police feared, a body yet to be identified
