san francisco. it seemed to last about three seconds. a minor shake and that was it. that is what we have so far. 3.9 on the scale, but initially it was said to be between 3.8 and 4.0. i guess 3.9 is it. larry: yes. there was a sharp jolt, then a few minutes later. spencer: given the fact we have cool weather today, this might dispel the notion that when it is warm we have quakes. larry: i cannot believe people still think that is a thing. we have resources to help you prepare for a quick and other natural disasters. visit abc7news.com/prepare norcal. kristen: new developments in the ongoing saga of retail theft in san francisco. crimes have become so common, videos like these have become viral.

a woman was over 100 thefts from target. as tim johns explains, many city businesses are worried. >> it is something that we are very aware of every day. tim: petty theft is a recurring theme here. martha is the owner of the store. >> yesterday we caught one person on camera. we watched him go through the store. his response was it is just human nature. tim: she says while she and her team have grown accustomed to catching thieves in action, it's still taxing and even dangerous. she believes law enforcement should be prosecuting some offenders more often. >> some of these people are chronic offenders. police know who they are. burglaries are one thing. theft inside the store is

another thing. when they are going into walgreens brazenly filling bags, yes, they should be prosecuted. tim: she is referring to this video, showing a man loading up a bag with items and then riding away on a bike. today another such case has led to an arrest. the san francisco district attorney's office announced they are charging a woman with more than 100 separate thefts from target. we will have more on that arrest coming up at 5:00. tim john's, abc 7 news. larry: now to another big quality-of-life issue in the north bay. you are used to seeing me on housed in big cities along with needles from waste and trash. but this is also a problem now in smaller cities. one community where needles nees become a real sticking point. liz: in downtown santa rosa there are bustling restaurants and businesses, park benches with charlie brown sculptures.

but the charm of 4th street is often overshadowed by things like this. you surprised to see that? >> no. liz: she says last week it reached a tipping point when she showed up to work there was yet again a pile of new used -- of used needles where a homeless person was sleeping. >> get as gotten so bad. but other businesses are dealing with this too. liz: tina owns a puerto rican restaurant also downtown. one of her employees recently quit because she did not feel safe. >> she did not realize when she was coming to work downtown that the transient and the homeless community was as bad as it was. >> this is an unfortunate situation we are seeing more of, of hypodermic needles being left. liz: the santa rosa police captain said police stopped recon -- responding to calls about needles because of low staffing and a rise in calls. instead they have created a demurrer -- a debris removal

team. still he says overwhelming. >> we are getting to that point we need help. liz: liz kreutz, abc 7 news. kristen: moderna has asked the fda to authorize its booster for all adults 18 and up. the fda could grant the request as soon as this week. that move comes as cases in the u.s. are up 27% the past few weeks. the alarming numbers are fueling fears of a winter surge. larry: osha has suspended its mandate for vaccination for companies with more than 100 points. this comes as the circuit of -- kristen: with only a few days before the beginning of the holidays, the san francisco health department is putting out a safety plan. leeann melendez joins us live with more. lyanne: remember this time we

were told to not invite anyone over for thanksgiving? we did not have a vaccine yet but this year most of us have been vaccinated and therefore there is a lot more we can do. and with that comes some risks. this week san francisco public schools be hand -- began handing out these kits to anyone who has been symptomatic or has been in close contact with someone with covid-19. >> this is another measure we can take to allow everyone to be in person together learning safely. lyanne: it is in addition to the already available covid test administered at one of the mobile testing sites. for the holidays the school district is following the recommendations of the cdc and the local health department, recommending families delay travel until everyone is fully vaccinated. continue to wear a mask in indoor public spaces. and if anyone is not fully vaccinated and must travel, get tested before and after your trip.

the san francisco health director offered this update today. >> as people gather in the holiday season, contact rate will increase. therefore there are more opportunities for the virus to spread. lyanne: 13,000 children today in san francisco ages five to 11 have received their first dose of the vaccine. that is 30% of the kids in that age group. the cdc recommends if someone travels, vaccinated or not, to stay home and self-quarantine once they return. >> even if they have not traveled maybe they have gotten sick over fall break. if they have symptoms we want to make sure families are still self screening before they come to school. lyanne: so many school districts now have a longer fall break, an entire week. i did not get that. making exposure more likely. but san francisco will resume

testing at designated school sites that monday once kids return. kristen: i did not get a full week either. oakland unified is handing out rapid test kits to elementary and middle school students so they can self test on the sunday before school's resume. is san francisco considering doing that? lyanne: no. san francisco feels students do not have to do the rapid test because of the vaccination rate in the city. the vast majority of san francisco students ages 12 to 18 have been fully vaccinated. you just heard the number of those kids younger than 12. oakland has good numbers but not as good as san francisco. oakland unified would begin requiring the vaccine as of january. san francisco does not need to. kristen: san francisco says one way to prepare for the holidays is to get a booster shot. we have been telling you about people having trouble getting an appointment. the san francisco health

director says they are not turning people away. >> we have nearly 100 sites administering vaccines. most are within a five to 10 minute walk, or certainly a drive. the capacity to do boosters is about 25,000 doses a day. kristen: he says 80% of san franciscans five years and up are now fully vaccinated. our abc 7 vaccine team joins us at 4:30 today. larry: governor newsom joint local leaders at the port of long beach today, hailing the progress being made to break the supply chain backlog in california's ports. they gathered one day after los angeles reported a 29% drop in the amount of cargo sitting unloaded at its ports since last month. they credited recently enacted policies for reducing the backlog. additional help is on the way,

including for the port of oakland, which is not seen many problems. >> we are seeing an increase in cooperation for the carriers to move some of this stress to northern california. we have commitments from two carriers to go into oakland, a third in january to start to relieve some stress here. so there is progress being made. larry: newsom says california will aggressively pursue a share of the $17 billion earmarked for ports in the infrastructure bill signed monday by president biden . walmart says its stores and fulfillment centers are not being impacted by supply-chain issues others are having. a new report shows their inventory levels are actually up 11%. the nation's largest retailer said it had prepared for potential supply chain problems. kristen: school pride. the fight to keep students in school despite declining enrollment. giving thanks. what you can do to keep your family safe. plus. >> three weeks ago this north

stepped up to serve the need. kristen: they were founded by francis ford coppola in 2001. it provides 88,000 pounds of food to community members each year. larry: a san rafael nonprofit also held their annual turkey giveaway, but it almost did not happen at all. they were flooded and heavily damaged, but some generous viewers stepped up to help in a really big way. cornell barnard has a look at how they are helping to build a better bay area. cornell: ingredients he needs for the perfect thanksgiving. >> it is hard to come by meals nowadays. cornell: 150 families are getting turkeys and sides at the ritter center, nonprofit helping the underserved for 40 years. this year the need has increased by 20% due to covid. >> with the rising cost of food

and gas, our goal is to make sure every single family has food on the table for thanksgiving. cornell: but this giveaway almost never happened. fierce storms in late october left the center heavily damaged. the food pantry had no choice, they had to shut down their operation. because things were literally underwater. >> the water was all the way to hear. cornell: thousands of dollars food supply had to be trashed. furniture was destroyed. we covered the aftermath several weeks ago and many of you stepped into help. >> but the good news is, the public really listened and responded. they opened their hearts and their wallets and we received $20,000 i donationsn. cornell: those donations helped buy more supplies, allowing their food pantry to reopen. and paid for some new office furniture at the health clinic, too. there was a lot of gratitude.

>> that human generosity is still there with compassion. cornell: best of all, this thanksgiving tradition was allowed to go on, in a time when it is needed most. cornell barnard, abc 7 news. larry: so awesome that we and, more importantly, you folks were able to help. kristen: our viewers come through again. larry: it is awesome. we are going to have some drizzle but no flooding concerns at this point. spencer: no flooding concerns at all. we are going to get more rain than we would like to get, but i would not call it the drizzle, i would call it light showers. right now we have mainly clear skies and calm winds. most locations have wind speeds at the surface under 10 miles per hour. lots of blue skies. you can see from this view looking out over san francisco where it is currently 63 degrees. mountain view 65. morgan hill 65. 59 at half moon bay.

vaccinated but she knows some of her thanksgiving gifts may not be. >> covid is still here and we need to be careful and concerned about everyone's safety. reporter: when it comes to gatherings, stephanie excels. during her fourth of july party she gets it outdoors, checked the temperatures, required masking and handwashing. she took great care to package food and drinks into single servings. >> i think this is still a good example of what we still should continue to do with thanksgiving. >> thanksgiving is a whole different experience. lots of travel, travel across different counties, across state lines. reporter: the california health and human services secretary says things to vaccines, case rates and hospitalizations are less than last year. >> we still know if you are unvaccinated, you have five to six -- you are five to six times

more likely to get infected. and a staggering 20 times more likely to die. >> we will be reaching out to the family to let them know if they are not feeling well or sick, we recommend they stay home. reporter: experts also suggest before the gathering, discussed vaccination status, ask for suggestions on how to keep the gathering safe. that may include covid testing. stephanie says it does not have to be awkward if it comes from the heart. >> i care from you -- i care for you. please respect my wishes for me and the others around. larry: doc, as always, thanks for the time. last year it was like a caution, beware, don't do it. here we are a year later and we have the vaccines, a lot of other medicine. is it a good idea to gather this thanksgiving? >> is a completely different thanksgiving from last year, so

i am glad you are distinction them. we do have to show people these vaccines work. so guess what? if you are fully vaccinated and the people around you are and you are having an open dialogue with whoever you're gathering with, by all means, have somewhat of a normal thanksgiving. the science says we can do that. but it is important we have those conversations with people who we are gathering with. and people are cognizant about where they are traveling to, but the transmission looks like there, and the risk of people around them. larry: so what can people do to make sure that they and their loved ones stay safe? >> first of all, i hope them their loved ones have all gotten vaccinated. if they are kicking it at the thanksgiving table, -- in some situations, some people may not be vaccinated. you may want to take more precaution, especially if you live in a city with a high

transmission rate. you can get a rapid test now over the counter. you can get that done the day of. i know people personally who are gathering with a family member who may be older. they are all rapid testing just to be sure that they can sit down, yell, scream, sing, and have a normal thanksgiving. after the w w w w w w w w don't know what happens. larry: how about after thanksgiving? do you think employers should require rapid tests or any kind of tests in a return to work scenario, like many did earlier? >> i think it is a smart idea. especially if you have employees who have not yet verified their vaccination status. it is important we revisit this after thanksgiving weekend. it is hard to control where people are traveling. i hope people are smart enough to think if i went somewhere and

was around a lot of people, or i was at a place where there is not a vaccine mandate, people were not wearing masks, that you would get rapid testing anyway. people are still testing positive. but it is hard to say everyone getting back should get tested. if you have gotten vaccinated, that is excellent protection for yourself and those around you. larry: let me group thanksgiving and christmas together. on a scale of one to 10 what is your concern about a winter surge as a result of the holidays? >> overall if we are talking about a winter surge, a ,5. the reason why it is not tan is because we have vaccines and we should not see as many deaths as we saw last year. it is not a zero because we still have only about 60% b country fully vaccinated. there is still the potential for local outbreaks. but we need to remember that positive cases do not always translate into hospitalizations and death.

we need to do the best we can to prevent those local outbreaks from happening so we do not see a similar situation in europe happening here. larry: going forward, what impact do you think the pfizer covid pill may have as we try to get past all this? >> as we tried to get past all this, which is hopefully what the. plan is. as we look at antiviral pills and wait for that data, we have to start thinking about what life is going to look like when it is endemic. treatments like this pill are important not just for the u.s., because people will inevitably still get covid-19, but for the rest of the world, where they still do not have access to vaccines that we do. we have to find ways to make sure they are protected. pfizer signed on to make sure that they are going to have development. if that happens, that remains to be seen. but we have to keep people from

dying. if they are not going to get vaccinated, we still have to do our best to protect them. larry: i am wondering if people will be as resistant to a covid pill than they are to getting vaccinated. you take advil, this or that in a pill form, whereas a shot is a different experience. do you think just that psychologically will make any difference? >> i think it is the politicization. that is why people out there are hesitant about the vaccine. not the pill. people were rushing out to take ivermectin. there's that. disconnect. . some of the hesitant people will happily take all the pills. even though we have a method to prevent them even needing to in the first place. larry: thank you for your time. >> thank you for coming to my ted talk.

of fully vaccinated. yesterday british prime minister boris johnson said booster shots will become an important fact and make life easier, but the head of the world health organization fears the reliance on boosters will prevent high risk groups in some countries from getting their doses. there is the inequity issue but also in some european countries the direction is three shots will become the minimum. what do you think? >> i thought this would be the case a few weeks ago. that at some point that would become what is fully vaccinated. recently i find myself telling people i am fully vaccinated and boosted. i feel like you have to tack that on, because it indicates a current level of protection. so i'm not surprised. i suspect as we know the efficacy of the vaccines wanes over time, everyone will know if

you have not had the booster shot you are not as protected as you once were. >> the dilemma is what number is the last number? you are fully back scented and boosted. are we going to have to be double boosted, triple boosted? because time is going to go by, and it does not seem like covid is going away anytime soon. are we going to be in a somewhat endless shy cult -- endless cycle of shots? >> i would add, for now. meaning, i got the booster. >> it will eventually be defined -- defanged. >> that day cannot come soon enough. one of the best-known arenas in the country is getting a new name in what is believed to be one of the largest -- staples center will now be called crypto.com arena. named after a shanghai-based

cryptocurrency platform and exchange. the company is paying $700 million over 20 years to slap its name on the area. that's $35 million a year. chase paid the warriors around$300 million for naming rights for their arena for 20 years. a bunch of different directions we can go on this. one, how much money some of these cryptocurrency companies have. but also how crypto is trying to become more mainstream and accepted. so the more you see the name you figure, ok. >> trying to become more of a household name. it is such a competitive space. i'm never a fan of calling these stadiums different things all the time. i like lambeau field, meadowlands, the traditional names. the staples center, frankly, i quit associating it with the company. >> i was thinking, why am i so

tied to staples. >> you sort of forgot. but i understand why they do it. it is a ton of money and it is a business. >> i would be ok with the ashlee center though. >> i would happily change my name to whatever you would like for a few hundred million. >> guess what? california and texas may have more in common then you think. at least when it comes to favorite tv shows. according to a study by high-speed internet.com, squid game is tops from the west coast to texas. the pink includes texas. manifest was the most popular show. that shows up in blue on the map. blue, blue. teal, aqua blue, that's bridgerton.

utah was the lone holdout by itself. they like stranger things. >> why are we surprised? strange, indeed. >> it's a show. >> i hate to say it, i have not watched any of these. >> i have only watched bridget and -- bridgetton. >> you have not washed squid game? >> there are so many shows to get to. >> when i first saw this study i was apprised texas liked squid game but i feel like here in california we like it for the teamwork and puzzle solving, and in texas they like it because there is, you know, a lot of. i don't even need to say it. >> you are stereotyping a bit there. >> i have to make a joke about that. it just goes to show, there are

always commonalities. >> spoiler alert. don't tell anyone. despite constant reminders to use deke and difficult passwords, the most popular one in the u.s., my favorite, 123456. this is according to nordpass. the second most popular is password. also, iloveyou, sunshine, and princess. women are more likely to use these. men are more likely to use words like baseball and football. i can't even read this, i'm laughing. 150 of the top 200 u.s. passwords can be cracked in less than a second. come on. that is why i go 12345678. >> what would michael finney say about this? >> you are supposed to use like,

there's password managers, but i always wonder what happens when the password manager app gets hacked. then what? then they have all of your passwords. >> there are many layers of encryption that make it hard to do that. so i am told. >> that makes sense. but everything is being hacked. >> it is so frustrating because we all have 50 passwords. it is ludicrous how many we have. >> you are running out of sports, right dan? >> add football, croquet, volleyball. how about volleyball123456? how do you spell synchronized? how do you spell synchronized? th i suffered with psoriasis for so long. i felt gross. people were afraid i was contagious. i was covered from head to toe. i was afraid to show my skin. after i started cosentyx i wasn't covered anymore.
