rivalries in the sport, and it is happening. >> i think it's go i think it''o very intense. similar to the games that we played during the regular season with the dodgers, similar to the last couple of games of the season, when the national league west was on the line. similar to some of the rather intense moments throughout the year. but probably elevated a little bit. >> we've been through the best -- beaten two of the best teams this year in baseball. it's really exciting for our players, seeing how our guys will respond. >> we had a lot of success in our division. we had a special year. i guess for us this is kind of the way to settle it. >> i'm super excited to see it. it's going to be fantastic. it's going to be a great series. i think fans from both teams are going to be going crazy.

reporter: it's a 6:37 first pitch at oracle park. clara, crawford met -- larry, crawford met with immediate, he grew up in pleasanton, one of his earliest memories, he said, we were taught not to like the dodgers. so he was taught young. now he's a big reason why the giants are here, playing a historic playoff series. larry: that is good parenting, chris. [laughter] thanks very much. stay warm. reporter: the best kind. i will try. larry: it's going to be a little bit brisk. anchor: that wind will knock you over, spencer. spencer: it is really windy. baseballs will be flying out of the park tonight or being blown back into what a tough time for outfielders. take a look at the current wind speeds. we have gusts ranging from 20-30 mph, 25-30 mph.

the right direction in the battle against covid-19. the daily hospitalization rate is down more than 13% in the last week. pfizer says it is poised to shift pediatric doses nationwide as soon as it gets a green light for kids 5-11 years old. the fda and cdc are expected to authorize it within weeks. san francisco has announced a vaccine mandate for city contractors come up onto those who work in person alongside public employees. they must be fully vaccinated by december 31. marin county plans to ease some of its mess requirement -- masked requirement starting it's ready. there will be exceptions for gyms, college classes, churches, and more. 100% of people are fully vaccinated must be verified. if the criteria are met, masks will not be required. larry: the health officer of solano county is calling out other bay area cities, saying there was no benefit to

the masked mandates. >> none of the counties that had a messed mandate -- mask mandate saw any benefits. larry: health area officials disagree strongly. abc 7 news reporter stephanie sierra is in the newsroom with the numbers and the details. reporter: throughout the pandemic, we struggled with mixed messaging. this is another example of that. according to our analysis, since august 1, the transmission rate in solano county was ranked consistently high by the city see with the exception of one day. as you heard, the county health officer stands by his decision not to enforce an indoor mask mandate, saying there hasn't even been one case to support it. as most of the bay area inches closer toward lifting mask mandates, one co. stands by the decision despite having the highest transmission rate.

the health officer for solano county for months said requiring masks for vaccinated people in indoor environments did it, make sense given county data didn't support that's were transmission was occurring. solano county reports more than 10,000 cases per every 100,000 people. the most of any other county. >> we still have a lot of disease. we higher rates of disease than other counties but not passing in indoor public spaces. >> given what we know about how transmissible the viruses, how can you be sure? >> we did is investigate every case and we do contact tracing. what we found was every case that we would interview would say, i want to a party and three other people from the party are also sick. all those illnesses were occurring in these family and social gatherings. reporter: the county has yet to receive any evidence of the virus passing in any indoor environments, he says, but it's unclear if the data has been made available to the public to prove that. how would you respond to some who say isn't it better to be

safe than sorry? >> better safe than sorry is a philosophy. it's not science. if this mandate made a difference, we should've seen evidence of it. and asked the question, did those counties who implemented it show a faster reduction in disease than those that didn't? the answer is no. reporter: dr. george rutherford says we don't have enough data to make that determination yet. he added there's a strong observational studies that support indoor masking. >> on transmission, especially among people who were unvaccinated. reporter: most bay area health officials share that sentiment, adding preventing as much disease as possible means making public health decisions on less than perfect data. around 56% of solano county's population is fully vaccinated. that is the lowest rate in the bay area.

one doctor told us if you were to implement a man to come he feared there would be a greater likelihood even more people -- a mandate, he feared there would be greater likelihood even more people would be disinclined to get vaccinated, another reason he says he decided not to enforce one. stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. larry: how does the cdc rank solano county compared to the rest of the bay area? reporter: solano is doing the worst when it comes to case rates. to give you an example, solano has nearly double the number of covid cases per 100,000 people, compared to that of san francisco and napa county is a close second. larry: the mass seems to indicate the doctor in solano may be incorrect. but everybody has their own thoughts on this. thank you, stephanie. anchor: cruise ships are coming back to san francisco.

>> pandemic was, let's take the good that we learned during this emergency can make it permanent. reporter: the signing took place inside the oakland kingston 11 restaurant. >> over the last year and a half, we struggled through the pandemic, but nonetheless, we totally bounced back. still, not 100%. reporter: he said when the pandemic first hit the restaurant lost about 70% of its sales, largely due to lack of alcohol sales. efforts to help restaurants like his drive helped nearby vendors as well. >> the ecosystem of the restaurant is pretty much the lifeline of the city. >> with half of our workforce being small business owners, small businesses, this is critical to our economic growth. reporter: governor newsom urged local governments to facilitate outdoor dining or local zoning and programs that support and promote open-air, take-out and delivery options.

economists say there is no playbook on how to recover from a pandemic. >> i think that's going to come down mortar issues of vaccine -- more to issues of vaccine and having to have booster shots. things out of our control and things that we are not used to looking at in the last few decades. reporter: the service sector is less attractive because of close contact with customers in particular and the risk of infection. >> our front-line workers and people working in retail is a bushman's, people in the service sector -- retail establishments, the service sector have found bargaining power. they are not moving into the same jobs at the same which is. reporter: slow service only discourages customers to going out in supporting local businesses with unfilled jobs. >> there clearly understaffed with long wait times. the services that we were accustomed to, a lot of folks are saying, being home is actually a better option. reporter: staging a complete recovery nationally will need 5 million jobs, nobody hears
