uni joe i don't want to make fun of people out there who want an answer and want a way to protect themselves and knowing that it's safe and efficacious and they have no better answer right now than this then the fiserment the visor vaccine which just got fully to approval. now what this basically tells us six months of safety data over 340,000 pages of data reviewed and you know, this new fda approval has also looked at things like the myocarditis and pericardite. it's a heart information cases special populations as well like

pregnant women and they said hey this vaccine after everything is just a safe. just sepicacious also the manufacturing process closely looked at all those people out there. they wanted to watch in a way. they wanted more data. they felt it was rushed. those fears should be put at ease. so this is a bigthosthosthosthos really out there because you know, yeah all right you can use that as one reason. i want to make sure that it really is fully approved in all that do you see this making a significant bump up? in vaccination numbers. if you want to make if you want to have an absolute numbers i think it is significant so you know that kaiser poll which a lot of people inciting today three out of 10 unvaccinated americans said they wanted to wait for full fda approval there's also a lot of people out there who said they were concerned about my card itis. they were concerned about side effects they wanted to watch the way they wanted more data right now we have 90 million americans were eligible for vaccines. have not gotten vaccinated let's say we even capture 40% of those that is 30

to 40 million americans more who can be vaccinated now the rest of people out there they still have their own reasons some people are anti vax and i don't know how we're going to capture them. we're going to have to rely on community leaders and people in targeted messaging but larry one other thing the fda approval does is it allows fighter to market. that might be off putting to some people when they think about the money behind big pharma but what that tells me is that this is just more chances for targeted messaging to reach people and say like, what is your concern? let's talk it out. right. this full authorization make it easier to prescribe the vaccine off label to let the kids who are at high risk. it doesn't so the full authorization is only for 16 and above but as we just heard in the previous segment with dr maldonado people should feel even more safe about giving this vaccine of their 12 to 15 year olds and we should see that data approved for 5 to 11 year olds. hopefully by october but one off label use it does allow is for physicians to prescribe a third i should say

prescribe, offered a third shot two people who are higher risk and who want that booster but we'll get more data about that. hopefully this week. okay. doctor patel as always thanks for your time and if anybody asks about taking medicine for a cow or a horse, i know which side of the fence you're on. larry. say hi to your cow, bessie for me? yes, yes she loves your work by the way hey houses sacred hinduism i love her too. oh nice. okay moving on starting today. santa's a city employees must show proof of vaccination now, if they cannot they must submit weekly negative test results those who failed to do so could be placed on unpaid leave. the city plans to mandate vaccines for all city employees who do not have an exemption at a later date. unvaccinated americans are costing the us health system billions the average cost of a covid 19 hospitalization is nearly $20,000 a kaiser family foundation report looked at government data that revealed vaccinations. could have

present prevented 113,000 hospitalizations in june and july that would have saved more than $2 billion today, the head of cal fire declared that the cal door fire, which is burning in el dorado county. is now the number one priority in the nation when it comes to providing new and additional resources. it is at the door, knocking on the door to the lake tahoe basin. we have all efforts in place to keep it out of the basin. but we do need to also be aware that that is a possibility based on the way the fires have been burning. to make matters more concerning wind conditions are moving in the direction of south lake tahoe crews have made little progress against this blaze is just 5% contained it's now burned 106,000 acres, destroying 350 homes. since it started 10 days ago crews are not working to get a line around the flames that jumped highway 50 on saturday of 40 mile stretch of the highway remains closed the state's

coming onshore blowing the smoke tower east as a result. we have relatively good air quality right now around the bay area as you can see with the green and yellow dots they're moderate to good air quality but of course to our north and east the fires continue to burn and let's see move this there you go, and you can see the dots. parker they're indicating poor air quality now, here's a look at our current pattern you can see we have a very vigorous onshore cooling breeze, which is keeping coastal areas actually keeping all areas cooler than average for this time of the year and pushing that dangerous smoke to our east. so here's the near surface smoke forecast. you can see a continuing pattern of the smoke being pushed to our east some of it will build up in the north bay, of course because that's closer to the fires, but eventually that surface smoke will continue blowing eastward. that's for the next couple of days things may change later in the week and i'll that forecast later i'mma all right spencer. thank you ready for refugees the plans in place to help refugees from afghanistan right here in the bay area. stuck in italy the vacation turned nightmare for a bay area couple and how covid-19 is

street is scheduled open by the end of next year. all right. let's turn to our weather as we start a new week and already a bit breezy out there. yeah spencer. yeah, and that's a good thing because it's been cooling down all areas including some of our inland areas and bringing fresher cleaner air on on shore. so let's take a look at that pattern. we're in right now. you can see that we've got this vigorous onshore flow the sea breeze and it's producing a pattern that is pretty familiar morning clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine. that's what we have to had today and we'll have it again tomorrow and it's pushing. that dangerous smoke to our east which is also a good thing. we have improved air quality as a result. so right now we're looking at surface wind speeds ranging from 15 to nearly 30 miles per hour and on we go to what that's doing for our air quality tomorrow. we expect a good air quality in the north bay and the south central bay moderate air quality in other regions and going into wednesday thursday similar pattern moderate at worst, and some areas will experience good air quality, but later in the

week, we may see a change in the wind flow which could course mean smoke will start to build up again at hazardous levels here in the lower atmosphere. here's a look at current temperature readings as we look across the bay from our across the arcadera. i should say from our rooftop camera 62 degrees in san francisco 70 in oakland. we've got mid 70s right now at mountain view and san jose palo alto 72 degrees and pacifica stands at 60 and here's a view of some blue sky and a few broken clouds looking toward the east northeast from the south beach camera here in san francisco. it's 69 degrees right now in santa novato's 79 69 in napa 80 in fairfield 81 in livermore concord 76 degrees and the view sort of from our emeryville camera looking back toward the city. there's a mix there of low clouds and a little bit of haze. but today is not nearly so hazy as the weather. we had a couple days ago. so these are forecast features low clouds will expand overnight bringingtc mning drizzle mainly near the coast below average temperatures will be with us for the next two days and sizzling

inland heat will develop at the end of the week. here's our forecast animation starting at 7 o'clock this evening notice the clouds expand along the coast and across the bay locally during the overnight hours five o'clock tomorrow morning. we may see some patchy drizzle near the coast as a morning commute gets underway, but by mid morning clouds will roll back to the coastline giving us some mainly sunny day much like today those lowe's overnight will be mainly in the mid 50s a little cooler up in some of the north bay valley's upper 40s at santa rosa cloverdale and napa highs tomorrow. we'll range from low 60s at at the coast to near 70 around the shoreline to upper 70s and low 80s inland and here's the accuweather seven-day forecast notice. we'll see gradual warming trend on wednesday and thursday and friday temperatures soar to the upper 90s inland up to around a hundred inland on saturday. so it'll be a limited little burst of heat not quite a heat wave but certainly going to be hot in some inland spots and the heat will begin easing a little bit on sunday and monday meanwhile, i mean while air quality remains pretty good, but

again be prepared for a later in the week mama. all right nice to be able to breathe in now, though. all right. thank you spencer a trip to italy turns into a nightmare a bay area couple tests positive for covid and now can't return home their stories comin hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. i'm a mother of four-- always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
