to the bay area, not unique to california, and it is something we are experiencing as local policymakers throughout the country. >> do you know -- was this the result of some sort of domestic dispute? do we really know the origins of why this is taking place at this point? >> we don't know the origins at this point. hopefully, once this is concluded and brought to an end, the ante up police department will be able to provide more of those types of updates, as i'm sure this will become obviously very serious investigation. those types of answers do not exist right now because this is an active situation. we are asking residents who are nearby to stay and shelter in their homes and for those who are not around, please stay as far away as you can. this is a dangerous situation. >> mayor, before we let you go real quickly, do we know if

anyone else is inside that house? >> i don't know that. again, we will not know those types of details until this is up to an end. we do have hostage negotiators -- excuse me, not our negotiators from the police department are there, so they are working the scene, and i have absolute confidence they will be able to bring this to an end. >> thank you so much for that information and for your time. again, a man barricaded inside a house. people are being asked to stay away as police will hopefully bring this to a conclusion very soon. thank you. we will continue to follow the situation and bring you updates here and on the abc 7 news mobile app. >> the first reported case of the omicron variant has been found in santa clara county. member, california had the nation's first omicron case we

epidemiologist who actually attended that wedding and then ended up getting sick herself. here is her story. >> i give people a cautionary tale. you know, if a group of medical professionals and public health professionals cannot prevent spread at a social gathering, it is just the luck of the draw for everyone. >> the associate dean of public health integration and an epidemiologist at michigan state university attended a november 27 wedding in wisconsin with about 100 guests who were all wearing masks at the church and at the reception except when they were eating, drinking, or dancing. quick thinking that i was at an event with very responsible people who work very smart, who we all did the right thing. we got tested in advance. we got our vaccines, many of us had our boosters, and we still ended up infecting each other, and some of us have -- i know for me personally, then came

home and infected our loved ones. >> she said she infected her daughter and had to isolate from her three month old granddaughter. she said she had a scratchy throat and severe headache but is ok now. meanwhile, kaiser permanente said alameda county public health announced 12 covid-19 cases on december 3, most of them the omicron variant. 11 of those cases are among staff at kaiser's oakland medical center. one work at highland hospital. >> of the cases that we are aware of here in alameda county linked to this outbreak, so far, all of them have traveled to the wedding. >> ultimately, eight patients and eight additional staff at kaiser were identified as being potentially exposed but tested negative. >> i just think we have to be a bit more vigilant. while we all have covid fatigue, the virus does not.

>> the bride and groom left immediately from the wedding on an overseas honeymoon. they tested positive and are still in a 14-day quarantine. in at least 25 states since it first emerged here in the bay area. >> encouraging information was released today. of the omicron cases of which they were aware, only one had to be hospitalized. >> to be fully vaccinated by christmas, you'll need to get your shot by the end of the day. like the original round of vaccinations, it takes about two weeks for your body to lee build antibodies. >> if you have questions about covid-19 vaccines, all you have to do is ask our vaccine team. >> in other news, mario gonzalez's death has been ruled a homicide by the alameda county

gusty wind will sweep across the entire region and by midday sunday, the focus will be mainly san francisco, the peninsula, the south bay, and by tuesday, it spreads again to the entire bay area and will be accompanied by cold air late monday into early tuesday, which means we could see snow mixed in with the rain and the higher elevations, but the real snow will fall in the sierra. in the sierra, a winter storm watch will be in effect from tomorrow, 10:00 tomorrow night to 10:00 tuesday night. we expect two to five inches of snow above 4000 feet. listen to this -- six to nine feet of snow. i will give you a closer look at this little bit later. >> nine feet of snow is a serious amount of snow. spencer mentioned the storm is going to bring snow to the sierra. we do not get too many level 3 storms in these parts, especially not lately. people are already getting ready.

we have a look at preparations under way. >> this giant leaf vacuum is on duty. it is the newest storm prep tool for the department of public works. >> we are doing it today because we want to be proactive. >> supervisor mike castaneda says there's no time for his crews to waste clearing leaves from storm drains ahead of a forecasted atmospheric river which could bring several inches of rain to the area. >> a lot of rain in a little time with high tides could be very problematic. >> last december, the area was flooded, and an atmospheric river dumped near record amounts of rain in a short period of time. >> it was really that we were so flooded we had to shut down for a couple of weeks. >> cheryl says the center was underwater. the family and homeless nonprofit outreach suffered major damages. this week, workers are taking no damages. a new sump pump was just

installed. >> we are doing what we can, risk mitigation, trying to be prepared for any severe storm or flooding so we can keep operating and serving the community. >> pg&e crews were trimming trees near power lines. the utility says crews are on standby for the storm. extra equipment has been brought in. during the last big storm, pg&e had to replace dozens of power poles, so now it is stocking up in case it happens again. >> the ground is already wet. when that happens with the wind we are expecting and the rain and cold temperatures we are expecting, we could see potential power outages. >> yes, the rain is welcome during this severe drought, but many hope it does not fall all at once bringing flooding and some anxiety. >> you can keep an eye on the weather including live doppler 7, and you can do so any time you want. find it on the abc 7 bay area app. >> part of 10 san francisco is

closed due to damage in the center median. the median was pushed out of alignment near the cesar chavez street off rep. caltrans has fixed the median. lanes are still closed indefinitely pending further repairs. >> yeah, that really backed up traffic tremendously. changing workplace -- why work will never quite be the same after covid. blow it. what you need to know about the new leaf blower rule just approved, and oscar contender approved, and oscar contender rita moreno your eyes. beautiful on the outside, but if you have diabetes, there can be some not-so-pretty stuff going on inside. it's true, with diabetic retinopathy, excess sugar can damage blood vessels, causing vision loss or even blindness. so remember this: now is the time to get your eyes checked. eye care is important to your long-term diabetes management. see a path forward with actions and treatments that may help your eyes— and protect against vision loss.

>> i think for people that have hopes and dreams of going back to a world of work that existed in february 2020, that does not exist anymore. many companies have already made commitments, longer-term commitments, either being fully distributed or hybrid, and i think there are some workers who will never go back into an office. they have made changes. they have moved. they have made the front lifestyle priorities, so then, the idea of commuting to an office five days a week and having that be mandatory is just a way of working that they will never go back to. i think there's a lot of companies that have invested a lot in real estate. they feel that culture happens in an office. connections happen in an office. innovation happens in an office, which we have kind of proven to be not true over the last two to three years, but a lot of companies still believe that, so there is an anxiety to get people back into the office, but it is kind of incongruent with employees and their desires and

wishes and needs right now, which a lot of data shows that they want to be -- again, some employees want to go back to the office, but many want to have that flexibility. ultimately, i think flexibility is what wins in this environment. >> lars schmidt of amplified says he expect covid to change many companies' plans to bring workers back to the office in 2022. >> improving the climate and environment, part of our efforts to build a better bay area. the california resources board is doing their part and will still require engines and equipment like leaf blowers to be zero emission. >> the new rule takes effect in 2020 four. people in the landscaping industry agree that there is a need to reduce carbon emissions but say 2024 is just too soon. >> richard owns garden land power equipment in campbell. over the last 10 years, he has worked to transition the business. >> a lot of our clients are

corporate campuses, right? and school districts, and a lot of them have had this kind of converting from gas to battery initiative. >> it has given him a head start ahead of the california resources board's approval of the new assembly bill requiring offered engines to be zero emission impacting models may 2024 and beyond only. equipment made beyond that can still be used and sold. >> we want to have a greener environment be part of that initiative, and we commend people's efforts to doing that. the problem is it is just timing, transition, making sure we have all the things in place to make sure we can be successful in this transition. >> that transition will be extremely costly to 55,000 landscape businesses in the state. the association says the 35 million dollars set aside will not be enough. when man who has been pushing

for a local band for decades says long-term, the board move is a good one but it does not do anything for the short-term. quickset only addresses the sale of these tools. it does not address the use of the tools. >> he state for online to buy gasoline powered tools. still, he says there is a silver lining. >> if i were not invested in the battery like i am today, i would be worried. >> we are heading into the weekend. look at the forecast. looks like half of the weekend is going to be -- good, good. you got some fun. >> the other half is good, too, for the rain, right? >> inside. >> astute observation on both parts. >> that's what we are here for. >> i'm sure you're often called that, astute. the wind is pretty calm, mainly single digits for wind speeds

elevations in the bay area. tonight, lots of high clouds moving through. heavy rain, little break of bright, sunny sky in the early morning hours returning. overnight lows tonight will be really cold once again. it is not going to be three degrees, it is going to be about 31 or 32. 20 eight santa rosa. low to mid 30's in the inland east bay, it will be cold all around the region. tomorrow's highs increasingly cloudy skies. 55 to 57 or 58 degrees in most locations. let's talk about the rain arriving late saturday. swinging into all parts of the bay area. by sunday afternoon, the focus will be mainly south bay peninsula and the central bay area right there, but then the rain will expand, again going into monday, and for late monday into tuesday, colder air is

going to settle in, so that means in some of our higher elevations, we could see a mess of snow with our rain here in the bay area, which is a bit of an unusual occurrence for us. wind gusts will be strong in some locations by sunday morning . let's talk about rainfall totals. 2.5 to about five inches generally in total. winter storm watch in effect 10:00 p.m. saturday and 10:00 p.m. tuesday. we expect up to nine feet of snow -- that's right -- in some of the hardest hit areas. here is the accuweather 7-day forecast. sunday's storm activity, level two on the storm impact scale, level three monday. wednesday and thursday, we are not expecting all day rain, but some appearance of rain likely, so it will be a wet and active week all week long. >> got some sports news to pass

job? >> i think one question is to ask what has political experience gotten us? housing prices have gone up, the number of opioid overdoses has gone up, so if that is what political leadership gets us today, then i think something is fundamentally off. >> for someone like you who does not have a ton of name recognition, when i start with the classic route of running for school board, then supervisor, why jump to assembly? >> i think people should run for the position they are qualified for. i have never worked in education. i don't have kids. i'm not a teacher. i'm not qualified to serve on the school board. i think a lot of the problems we face in the city is that everyone is always working on the job they want next instead of the job they have today, and as a result, we get a lot of

good outcomes. for the school board, for me, it is a balance of the problems i care about and what the solutions are. the problems i care most about stem from inequality in finance, housing, school, transit, safety, as well as climate. those are things that are going to be solved at the state. >> you can also find "the san francisco standard's" interviews on our app available for apple tv, android tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. >> a spike in need for mental health professionals. health professionals. that's not unusual this time of in a recent clinical study, patients using salonpas patch reported reductions in pain severity, using less or a lot less oral pain medicines. and improved quality of life. that's why we recommend salonpas. it's good medicine.

>> hundreds of san francisco students rally today to denounce what they say is the school district's lack of response to sexual assault and harassment cases. our senior education reporter says the district acknowledges it can do more to protect students. >> all right, y'all ready to make some change? [cheers and applause] >> these students from different public high schools in san francisco say they feel ignored by a school district they claim is doing very little to address sexual assault and harassment on their campuses. >> there is a lack of accountability. there is a lack of transparency, and there is a lack of real action surrounding these issues. quick to during today's rally, students presented the school district with a list of demands. among them -- create a support system for survivors and teach students starting in elementary school the meaning of consent.

there were more proposals. >> survivors should not be subjected to interacting with their abusers. >> from there, they marched to the school district. we spoke to the deputy superintendent who acknowledged more could be done. >> really expand to educate about what sexual harassment is and what to do if they experience it. >> what many students told us was they feel that pressure to conform and do not know how to properly respond when they are harassed or assaulted by another student. listen to what these freshman from lincoln high had to say. quick they would have just days, where they would go around and just slap people's butts.s. i remember that. >> upperclassman, they are way above us. it is hard to be -- it is hard to say no. >> the school district told abc 7 news it has sent an email to families highlighting the commitments it is making to

prevent and respond to sexual harassment. the district now wants to engage students in that process. holiday season, but for many, the holidays can be challenging. >> therapists and other mental health professionals see a spike in requests for service around this time of year. >> for getting a therapist who looks like you can be challenging in the asian, latinx, and black communities. abc's race and culture reporter looks at the lack of diversity in the mental health field. >> when you go to talk to someone and you bear the most vulnerable parts of yourself to that person, you want that person to really understand you. >> clinical psychologist dr. christine garcia says that often means prospective clients are looking for mental health professionals who mirror their identity and understand their experiences. >> as a female, as a latina, i have had multiple experiences

with each of those identity memberships. in my work as a clinician, that has helped me out not just in working with filipinos in the community but in other communities of color. >> but a lack of diversity in the field can leave new clients stuck on wait lists. a new analysis from the abc 7 data journalism team found it is increasingly difficult for latinos, asians, and blacks defined mental health professionals of the same race, ethnicity, and gender. data from the census bureau shows in the san francisco metro , white people are twice as likely to find a mental health professional of the same race than asian people. findings are similar in the san jose metro, which includes all of santa clara county and sand medina county. white people are one and a half times as likely to find a mental health professional looks like them than their hispanic/latino counterparts in the area.

>> we are looking at a client population that is diverse, and that is changing pretty rapidly as we go along. >> a professor of psychology and oakland-based arabist says the supply and demand issue is in part because a lack of diversity in the field which stems from barriers in access to education. take the san jose metro, for example, where according to census numbers, there are no black male psychologists and no hispanic latino male psychologist either. >> we have not been promoting enough scholarships and funding opportunities for bipoc students to actually get the training that they need. >> it is it error recently acknowledged by the american psychological association. the organization issued an apology this october to people of color for the organization's role in promoting, perpetuating, and willing to challenge racism and racial discrimination in the u.s. admitting to marginalizing

members of communities of color and their contributions to the field. >> there is no trust because there's no >> dr. paige, who it in a quick -- queer black woman, says there is a lack of understanding in the field among the lgbtq community as well. >> this is not to say that all straight therapists or all white therapists cannot work with someone of a different demographic. it just means that there's additional training that a lot of times does not actually happen for that to occur. >> an important conversation in diversity and inclusion as communities of color continue to tackle stigma surrounding prioritizing mental health. >> so, are you rich? what it takes to be considered wealthy across the nation. numbers will surprise you, and

the classic hollywood story. we meet the hero, the all-new nissan frontier hero faces seemingly impossible challenge. tension builds... the plot twist the hero prevails in hollywood, this would be the end. but our here, we are just getting started. introducing the all-new nissan frontier. hi, i'm steve and i live in austin, texas. i work as a personal assistant but our here, we are just getting started. to the owner of a large manufacturing firm. i've got anywhere from 10 to 50 projects going at any given time. i absolutely have to be sharp. let me tell ya, i was struggling with my memory. it was going downhill. my friend recommended that i try prevagen and over time, it made a very significant difference

in my memory and in my cognitive ability. i started to feel a much better sense of well-being. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. from one moment to the next, our kids become the most important part of our lives. and even though the years pass, that never changes. we never stop worrying about them. that's why it's important to have health insurance. with covered california, we got a plan we could afford. it includes free preventive care, like cholesterol and blood-pressure checkups. because even though they grow up,

they'll always be your baby. covered california. this way to health insurance. enroll by december 31st at coveredca.com. >> it is time now for the 4 at 4:00. let's begin with efforts to curb retail theft, especially smash and grab robberies. beverly hills is beating up security on rodeo drive. there are more cameras, physical barriers, bulletproof glass, and constant patrols by police officers and private security guards. major retailers are looking for help, too, to deal with people who steal items to resell

online. ceo's and representatives of 20 major countries are asking congress for legislation requiring online sellers to use their real names and provide other information to make sure they are not selling stolen goods. that seems like a good idea to me. >> i think it does seem like a good idea, and obviously, as this thing evolves quickly, we will have to find a new and more effective ways to deal with this problem that seems to really just be accelerating. is this a passing fad or the wave of the future? i don't know. i have to say, having done some shopping recently, it is comforting to see more police officers but also a sad state of affairs that merchants have to worry constantly that people are going to steal from them and perhaps even worse, it can escalate into something more serious and violent. it is just a shame that this is where we are. it is kind of a bummer that we have to deal with this. >> true. i think all these measures you just mentioned are the right

measures to start with. maybe we will think of more effective and greater things to do down the road, but dan is right. it is very sad. it is demoralizing. >> precisely. >> moving on, how take to be considered rich? a website called gobankingrates.com crunched numbers to find the lowest salary to be considered rich in some areas. to be considered rich in oakland according to this survey, you must make an annual salary of 165 $384 -- 106 he $5,384. outside of the bay area, there is a drastic difference. you need to make a little more than $66,000 a year to be considered rich in detroit. in milwaukee, just under 85 k. tucson, about $87,000.

i suppose it really depends on what your definition of rich is because those numbers are not going to get you much in the bay area, like, if you are just shopping for property, but you could live a good life, a decent life. when i think of rich, i think of dan and i are limited -- limoed to private planes. >> and they don't even to me when i drive anymore. >> rich is such a relative term. >> i think comfortable and affluent and able to have have e disposable income at those thresholds might be a more apt term. i would like to take whatever the figure was in san francisco, 239 or whatever, and make that detroit or somewhere. you look at real estate prices here versus so many other parts of the country, what we pay for

things, and it gives us sort of a false sense of normal because this is not normal everywhere. >> that's for sure. >> indeed. >> now to a man who is definitely rich, scott godfrey won millions in october after winning a powerball ticket. >> that's rich. >> i would drive for him. >> he did not want to show his face on camera but plans to give a lot of the money away. >> i saw a news report on tv where they had a dark image of a store early in the morning, and i realized i had been there last night and bought the ticket. everybody thinks there is a possibility of winning, but it is so infrequent, you cannot imagine it being you. >> the fifth largest powerball jackpot and seventh largest jackpot in overall lottery history. he chose a lump sum payout of nearly $496 million, so what will he do with all that money?

>> we have already set up a foundation that is going to receive quite a bit of the money for working on deliberate, charitable things. >> the albertsons where the ticket was sold will receive a bonus of $1 million. >> schools across california, all 50 counties get to see part of that, $50 million for programs and services those kids might not otherwise have access to. >> we tried to be be be be be this goes to invest as much in those less fortunate. >> sometimes we get jealous and wish that were us or think maybe they did not deserve it, but watching what he said there, i'd like, good for him. glad he was the winner. >> he seems like a nice guy. very well thought out and deliberate, and keeping the community in mind. good for him. >> cap amount of money, you don't need that much. you could buy everything 10

times over. you have generational wealth. give it back to others. especially if you move to detroit. >> we will see you there. 4, 5, 6, 9, and 11. >> exactly. >> santa-con is back. there's no official event this year. the organizer canceled because of covid safety concerns yet again, but a bunch of revelers dressed up in santa costumes and will be in the city. they will likely be celebratl le at san francisco bars if they are part of an official event or not. i mean, these people are having fun. are you? that guy, he had his own mask. are you a fan of santa-con? would you ever take part in a santa-con event? >> it is kind of fun and colorful to watch, but it is not my thing for being an active
