more kids in the hospitals in the last few days been during the peak last winter. >> supported and are able to take on the current demand, and many young people with covid are not being admitted to the icu's. >> he says making sure hospitals are supported it is a top priority, and so is making sure schools have a enough test cash. -- test kits. he says the state is prepared to handle the surge in cases now. >> today's situation in the environment with covid and omicron is better in many ways. we can manage the disease

we are seeing and a way we were not able to a year ago. >> he says californians need too continue to wear masks and get tested, vaccinated, and boosted. the cdc has recommended pfizer vaccine boosters for children 12 to 15. a decision on final approval is expected tomorrow. >> a decision on vaccinating kids under five years old appears to be close. dr. fauci says studies examining vaccines for kids in that age group could produce the beta in the first half of the year -- data in the first half of the year. >> a new study out of israel says getting a booster decreases mortality by 90%, compared to being fully vaccinated. >> the rapid surge is a lot of people questioning whether schools did enough to prepare. in san francisco, 600 teachers and educators cold out sick today. -- called out sick today.

we have some news now on the last minute changes in the big adjustment for everybody. >> yes, even for us in the newsroom. one of the teachers unions called this an unavoidable hot mess. while many school districts have safety measures in place, testing or the lack of consistent testing has become the issue for schools and families. the spread shows us that we were caught offguard. >> the union representing teachers in san francisco told us one school so many educators out for the day, related to cases of the omicron variant. san francisco unified confirmed more than 600 educators called out sick. >> we have been filling some with substitutes, but we don't have enough substitutes. >> this parent picked up her daughter who came in contact with a student who was positive.

she told me her children safety is our priority, and every parent should be as responsible. the teachers union said they would meet tomorrow with school district officials to make more decisive measures to keep students and staff safe, including testing at all schools. at this point, only teachers are given a n95 masks. >> we still don't have an agreement from ask for the students. the only thing available to students is surgical masks. >> the union is trying to avoid a walkout, like in chicago, were teachers called the protocols lacking. >> we did receive the kids from late yesterday -- from the state late yesterday. we are working on those. >> san francisco unified has hired a company to help them distribute these kits to every

school. other districts are being asked to also distribute n95 masks to everyone in school. one teacher teacher teacher tear right before classes resumed. >> it is exhausting and scary. a lot of teachers feel like they would be the next one out, that it is cascading and moving quickly now. there is a lot of fear. >> the state shipped tests for san francisco schools, but there is an issue here that is being criticized by many, and that is testing at school districts is recommended, but it is not required. they encourage it, but again, they will let you in the building even if you have no test results. many colleges i know and also private schools will not let you in the building or will not let

you on campus unless you show the negative test. >> every institution has their own set of rules. it is hard to get your arms around this. so many teachers out, it's not like you have a huge surplus of substitutes. how sustainable is this going forward? >> it is not. san francisco, for example, there are only 200 subs in the entire district. people who are not in the classroom such as administrators , they are now having to teach. i asked how much longer how m go on. the districts are betting on what the health departments are telling him, that this will not last. -- spencer: -- them, that this search will not last. at this point, we are close to pressing the panic button. >> thank you. >> masking in schools will be a

key part of keeping students and faculty safe during the surge. >> rules are rules are rules are limited social distancing, and masks have been an important part of the equation, masking, covid testing, and we want to remind everybody the importance of vaccines, boosters, and seeing how boosters are available to younger children now. kristen: the superintendent says the bay area is leading the way with the percentage of students fully vaccinated against covid. he says these measures are here totaso that we can keep classrooms open for in person learning. he also says he is moving forward with a plan to recruit 10,000 mental health clinicians that help with student suffering right now. larry: parents waited quite a while to get their free covid test kits today. sky seven flew over the office of education where the kids were.

this was absolute gridlock. that prompted authorities to issue a traffic alert. police arrived to help direct traffic. in hayward, some folks were waiting to get tested for at least two hours. they said it is worth it to protect the family. that testing site is run by a nonprofit an appointment to recommended. what should you do if you get covid? everything keeps changing. the newest cdc guidelines argue should isolate for five days. day zero is the date you should test positive or when symptoms started, whichever comes later. after five days of isolation, new covid test, positive, five more days, and if it's negative, you can endure isolation, but it is recommended you wear our mask any time you are around other people for the next five. kristen: a member of our our vaccine team joins us live now.

good to see you. let's start with the big news. california is extending the indoor mask requirement until at least february 15. did you think this is a good idea? will it make a difference? >> i think it will make a difference. we can confidently say if you are fully vaccinated, you are well protected against omicron. we need to learn what it would look like throughout january, and if masks are one way to slow the transmission, not stop, but slow it, keep the masks in place, the safest thing to do, especially with testing delays. kristen: i want to touch on revised cdc guidelines, five days, testing, isolating, for they come at first, no test, so to speak, whereas california did say, test on day five, if you're clear, clear next day, then you get out, in the meantime, bay area counties are taking

that sticking with the ten-day isolation policy. it is so confusing. what is your vice? >> don't feel alone. when in doubt, you have to take that extended time. the full 10 days, wear our mask, especially if you are returning to family and friends and going back to work. the issue with the cdc guidelines and i commend the california department of health as they did not include testing it also people had this assumption that if you're a simple medicament you are not with the virus, and we know there is a population who was still do that, and the majority, but you can, to be safe, but i have no symptoms, five days i'm good, the problem now with the wording is that if you want to take a test or have access, i don't see a lot of people following through. not only the lines, but some people thing i will not wait for seven hours. i don't have any symptoms so whatever. in those situations, keep the mask go the full 10 days. it is frustrating right now. kristen: it is.

i did hear what you were referring to, study that says on day five, 31% are still infectious, so really, if you don't test, that is a third of the people getting out mixing with the population. >> people must ask their selves that own question. 30% of people can still shed their virus, so are you comfortable with your high-risk, liquid someone, hanging out at work, like hey, i tested for positive, five days ago, i feel great. >> that is the answer. what's talk about boosters. today, we are getting close, waiting for cdc approval, but the fda saying let's get boosters for 12 to 15-year-olds and some people in the bay area super excited and can't wait make appointments, but then more than a third of those in that age group are still not getting their first shot. what does that mean for the boosters? where are we headed? >> it is an important statement that boosters are needed for

full protection, but parents who are hesitant, the committee is reviewing safety data. they looked at data from israel selling the population from 12 to 17 who got the shots, there is such a positivity for children who developed myocarditis, two out of 40,000, smaller studies anchorman 300, no cases, so we know it is safe, but the focus is on getting those kids out there their primary vaccination series. here's the reality. unless every single parent goes out on friday morning and they get their reality -- the teens the third shot from a booster shot, it will not make a significant difference then what were seeing in the surge, layered protection, getting kids is i made shots is what we need to be doing first. kristen: more children are hospitalized with covid-19 than ever before. thank you so much. >> correct. thank you. larry: coming up, deadly shooting. killed on a bay area freeway,

the investigation now underway. retail theft solution, california lawmakers says he has the fix. he is introducing a bill to get it started. plus, rising prices, no relief. get to even more money. >> you're getting a break from the wet weather, but don't put the umbrella away. i have one storm that will be a bump before we get , quiet weeke.

♪ announcer: building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions, this is abc7 news. larry: it seems like these appear to be more common, retail robberies, issues that affect safety and security every day. it can end up costing you more money. kristen: one california wall maker once harsher penalties for thieves at that would reverse a previous law that allow criminals to steal more before being charged with a felony. kristen: i reporter -- our reporter has a look. >> we feel like everybody has forgotten us and said whatever happens is acceptable. reporter: he has been the victim of theft on more than one occasion, each time in broad daylight, people posing as

customers taking off with their electronics. the shop competes with retail giants, so have been cameras on display is a must. >> you can't keep everything locked away. they come here to touch a camera they can't touch online. reporter: it has been a trend on the rise across the country and state, smash and grab thefts targeting retailers to beauty stores, but now in new bill hopes to crackdown on thieves. it would drop the minimum value of stolen merchandise before the crime is considered a felony to $400. >> if discourage more theft. if it does, then we are moving in the right direction. reporter: it would reverse a proposition in 2014 which increased the threshold to $950. >> it was an experiment that

failed and it is time to change things. reporter: when thieves get off easy, they're more likely to steal again. >> what happens is they become so emboldened that their crimes become more and more serious. reporter: she says it would be a game changer in the way suspects are charged and convict. -- and convicted. >> the bailhe seriousness, it goes to prior convictions. this could be very detrimental to somebody who has a criminal history. larry: joining us now guest. that is happening all over the state. if we snap our fingers and get rid of it, would it make a difference? >> it would, but i don't think the state is ready. prop 47, the idea is we don't want to send people involved in petty or nonviolent crimes to

prison, were violent criminals should be. i spoke with the assemblyman who proposed this and he said were not looking to repeal it, but we are looking to alter it. take a look at other measures at other things. we are seeing an unintentional result of what people thought they were voting for. they thought they were voting to give people a break, a way out of criminal life, instead, they found the criminal life is coming into their lives much more. larry: this has a chance of being modified? >> it will be interesting. right now, the mood in sacramento has gone from making it less easy to get into jail, give people more breaks, that was the swing, it stopped. last year, there was a bi

that would redefine what robbery and theft is. it would have to include possibly serious injury to be a felony. right now, that bill got sidelined because people were not ready to go further, that the pendulum swings and it is in the center now. what he says is needed is to start talking about this, to get this in front of lawmakers and possibly in front of voters. he is willing to work, change it, and does not think everything will go through the way he is expecting it. he says we have to start talking about this, because otherwise we will not go anyway. larry: this is clearly not imminent and would take a while. one of the problems is is is iss are becoming more sophisticated, particularly in the amounts they steal, working in groups, then distribute the stuff they stole, and it is very organized. >> it is. that is new.

we used to see the robberies would happen and they would sell them at flea markets and swap meets, but now there is the internet. you can sell it abroad. you can sell it anywhere. the seller can be anonymous. rather than stereo equipment, were seeing high-end clothing with video equipment, everything out there, so it will have to be not only the theft, but the supply chain that gets it to the people paying for it. it has to start somewhere. what he is saying is let's get it going, rather than pointing fingers and saying it is over here, but what about this and that? larry: we will see if it gets traction. thank you. kristen: we have an update to yesterday's deadly freeway shooting that claimed the life of a young recruit. he has been identified.

larry: this is the time of year when the flu used to dominate health concerns. kristen: until covid came along.

some doctors are looking at the risk for a double pandemic. it is exactly what it sounds like. having both together at once. cases have been detected in new york, houston, israel, philippines, in one case in los angeles as well. my worry is people might not think they have covid paired they might think they have the flu. it is confusing. >> it is. not a surprise. we dodged the flu bullet last year. this year may be something different. i think it goes back to getting vaccinated for the flu, getting vaccinated for coronavirus and doing everything you and protect yourself and each other. larry: i think we had a couple of years where you did not see a

lot of flu cases, because everybody was vigilant wearing the masks. the masks and really protect you. we have seen that. everybody is so worn out at this point. >> especially when we thought we were out of it and now we are back in. larry: i can't even. i can't deal with it. >> it will not be good. larry: the highlyyyyyyy omicron invariant is throwing award shows in the state of chaos. they are canceling a big event in utah. the grammys delayed their show. the oscars are still planned for march 27, pending whatever else comes along. they are voting on nominations and it gets underway in three weeks. i can't even think about an

awards show. kristen: it is so disappointing. i wish they would have postponed it. >> there is a cyclelele they postpone it, is it shortened year with limited time for movies to come out and be promoted? that is the challenge. i think in hollywood they are so desperate to keep production going now that they don't want to do anything that jeopardizes that, like an awards show. >> depending on who you talk to, some studios did not even submit titles for consideration to the golden globes because of the lack of diversity up until the sweeping changes last year. kristen: that is where we are going. the golden globes will look different this year. the award show returns to the beverly hilton hotel sunday, but it will not be televised. there will be no red carpet, no

audience, and no stars. the hollywood foreign press association reached out to celebrities, but no one wanted to appear diverse class to date >> at this point, if you have a major event and it is not televised, did it happen? >> it is true. >> it is so rare. >> who will care if nobody can see it? >> exactly.

if you consider your pets your children, the pope says no. you're wrong. pope francis a couples who choose to have pets instead of kids are selfish. he calls the decision a detriment to civilization and claims it leads to a loss of humanity. he is urging couples who can't have children to consider adoption. he has long been critical of humans prioritizing pets over children. he made similar comments in 2014. you want to jump in on this? you want to take on the pope? >> first of all, i would disagree with the pope and shaming people who decide not to have kids as being selfish. that is ridiculous. i would say pets are not children, that is true. we love our pets, but they are different than children. i do agree that if you can have

kids but would like to come consider adoption. there are a lot of children who need good homes. >> i know you have worked closely with the humane society and animal groups. >> yes, on behalf of our perfect pet partners, we would like to disagree at the pope. there are just many of those who need shelter. the population of the earth is nearly 8 that is 3000 san jose that will have to find a place for these people to live , and also does not take into account their carbon footprint. >> mike does his research. >> e is showing up with facts. >>, no. >> you make the rest of us look

to the left or right, i knew that he was trying to actually talk to me. >> each section is a stage in the diagnosis. it symbolizes the struggles with movement. when he hurts himself training, it represents a violent outburst. >> it allowed our family to express how we truly felt emotionally. >> a year later, he started to improve. he is now healthy and playful. his mom says working on the book helped him to recover and avoid the memory problems that can develop. >> i could do it. larry: what a scary situation for his parents and for the boy himself. thankfully he appears to be ok now. kristen: tonight's powerball drawing is $630 million, the

other black and brown boys and girls to be able to have that same experience now, that was amazing. >> comments coming in supporting him in his on-screen twin. this is why representation matters. >> it is a big moment for us, but for him, at such a young age, this will be just bec bec normal. >> it will be nice to tell him and show him one day. >> the dad is a teacher and says he has always thought his students the importance of positive representation in the media, seeing it reflected in his own son. his favorite movie used to be the line king. that might be changing. larry: that is amazing how much she looks like the character in the movie. it is now streaming on disney plus. that would do it.
