ucsf scientists have made a vital discovery that could lead to an endemic. we think we've uncovered a key connection. that we could ultimately fight not just this variant, but future variants that we don't even know about yet dr. nevin krogan welcomed us inside. mutations in the alpha variant are allowing the virus to evade our immune response the same key mutations outside of the spike protein. we're also found in the delta variant and in the omicron variant certain proteins being produced at a higher level. in that particular virus once the virus infect ourselves and these particular proteins are able to inhibit our immune response our it's inhibiting our cells from fighting off infection omicron accounts for more than 73% of covid cases in the us dr. kroegan believes the key to stain one step ahead is

understanding previous variants. going to come to a point where there's going to be just combinations of the mutations that have already existed in these. strain, he says vaccines boosters and pharmaceuticals will continue to be key in this fight. i think this virus will ultimately become endemic just like influ i will have to be dealing with this. for the rest of our lives, but it won't be as a deadly. that's the hope every year will probably need a booster shot of some kind. researchers believe this discovery could lead to beating omicron as well as predicting future covid-19 variants ahead of community spread in the newsroom loose peña abc 7 news. thanks so much. luz raine was not the only thing soaking a street in san francisco today at water main break flooded part of kenwood way can see that water. rushing down a staircase. this is between 19th avenue and i-280. there were initial reports that

generally around 3/4 3/4 of an inch by monday morning around the bay and then anywhere from a quarter of an inch to even one and a half inches. some of our higher elevation so a little bit of this widespread rainfall overnight lows will be in the low 40s around the bay, but will even start to drop into the 30s through parts of the north bay. so it's going to be pretty chilly tonight and windy at the coast tomorrow's highs are going to be on the colder side as well. so low 50s around the bay with upper 40s through the north bay lake santa rosa napa 47 will be breezy. so hold on to those umbrellas. and of course jair was talking about the closures on 80 and highway 50. so avoid driving to and from the sierra if you can until tuesday morning, we are expecting up to another nine feet of additional snow above 3,000 feet and even up to two feet at above 1500 in addition to that. there is a winter weather advisory part for parts of mendocino and lake county. so they're expecting two to five
