it is not expected to start until next month at the earliest. >> california numbers showing hospitalizations and the percentage of icu patients going up but the test positivity rate continues a slow decline. last week was at 23%, now 20.7%. >> a new study finds omicron was likely in the u.s. more than a week before the first case was detected. wastewater samples found a variant in new york city on november 21. the first official case was reported in san francisco on december 1. >> the number of covid cases in san francisco has started to plateau, that is the latest update. our news reporter with more morm what we can expect going forward. >> not right away but he will begin to see some restrictions lifted. next monday, some countries in europe will drop some of their restrictions because they have

seen a significant fall in case numbers. in san francisco, we are slowly following that trend. the light at the end of the -- >> the light at the end of the tunnel is here. we may go through another tunnel but there is hope and there is light. >> it has helped that 82% of san franciscans are fully vaccinated. while still a concern because of its high infection capabilities, the number of covid cases finally peaked on january 9. >> with a 70 average of hundreds of cases per day and dropped each day since then. >> the number dropped on january 12. hospitalization rates always lag behind the number of reported cases. they are still climbing but that rate of increase is slowing down. here is where the vaccine and preventive measures seem to have made the difference. last year in january, 160 five

people died in san francisco of covid related illnesses. one year later, this month, five people so far have died. a doctor said we must learn to live with covid, echoing what other health officials have stated. >> i want to stress that our goal is not to prevent every case. omicron has proved that that is not possible. our goal is to prevent the worst outcomes. >> my hope is as we begin to reopen, as we see numbers decline, that we continue to be careful but continue to support our restaurants, that we order and pick up from our restaurants and various businesses, that we support small businesses. >> the commerce department reported a decline in foot traffic in the downtown area since early december with omicron cases began to surface. then mayor made reference to the fact that there are people who

are not going to restaurants not because of the restrictions but because they are psychologically afraid of getting sick. it has been nearly two years of mirroring this and i have not contracted covid or the common cold and it is kind of nice. but at some point, we all have e to accept that many of us will eventually get covid or the common cold. larry: the masks have helped but i think everybody is sick of the masks and we would like to move on to testing and trying to get past this. it has not been that efficient given we are two years into this. we have a bunch of tests. a surge comes, we take the tests, things level off, then we have another search but there are not enough tests. what is the plan going forward? reporter: dr. colfax said something that we all know to be true which is testing needs to be accessible, affordable, and fast.

what are they doing? he says they are working with state and federal partners to make over-the-counter tests easier to come by. that is number one, and requiring health care system partners to step up and do their part when it comes to testing. larry: two years and healthy and safe and let's hope it stays that way. kristen: testing is another issue and nearly 14,000 covid tests left unprocessed in a lab. many customers waiting nearly two weeks to get results. you asked and i team is getting answers. our reporter is here now with the testing troubles. reporter: we heard from many of you who have been waiting for your covid pcr tests results from virus geeks, you were promised a 48 hour turnaround time but is nearly two weeks later. we have an answer for you about why it took so long.

that is how long they long theyl waiting for the covid test results. >> they said they would call back, they never called back. reporter: they took a test through virus geeks, a bio health technology company that has more than a dozen covid test sites across san francisco. >> i have an update for you. we found out where your sample has been. reporter: according to the company, 14,000 specimens collected last week have been sitting in a lab for seven days, all untouched. >> i'm very sorry about these events. they have a right to be mad. reporter: the ceo reached out following our story saying he takes full responsibility for what happened. facing testing demands from omicron, he says his company relied on another lab to help process the overflow. days went by, still nothing. >> it did not feel right so something is going on.

now we are going on day three, a four, day five. >> when we were notified if there was an issue? -- when were you notified there was an issue? reporter: peace says the lab blamed the delay on a area but when they checked it out, they saw this. >> they were left in the original backs that we sent to the laboratory. reporter: he says the 30 backs of samples are from the company's test sites at the event center and monterey airport. >> did they what happened? >> they said they had only one scientist, so to give you an idea, processing 5000 samples a day, you need a minimum of three scientists. reporter: the i team reached out for further comment but the company denied virus geeks' sample backs were sitting in the facility for over a week. despite these pictures showing the company's tax in their facility. they say a portion of the samples were processed but

admitted to the i team. due to increasing workload from our customers, we told them to take samples back. virus geeks has pulled back testing as the company works to process the influx of samples left in these facts. >> how long do you think it will take to clear out the backlog? >> i anticipate by thursday, everything should be done. >> you think that will happen today? >> i anticipate the backlog will be cleared up by friday. reporter: it has been 10 days since the specimens were collected. it defeats the purpose, but still comes with a price tag billed to insurance companies and ultimately, taxpayers believe aching up part of the thaad for those uninsured. there are many backlog raises concerns about the quality of the specimens. >> samples remain viable after 21 days. within room temperature. reporter: the manager of the

clinical religion lab disagreed. would you be concerned about the quality of specimens sitting in room temperature for six to seven days? >> it is very unlikely that you will have accurate results if the samples are kept at room temperature up to that amount of time. you can have a false negative result. reporter: customers learn she tested negative but was positive the next day. >> i know things can change from one day to the next. i don't know. it is fishy. reporter: we brought this to authorities in san mateo county. what is your team doing? >> the county is working with virus geeks to try to improve the test turnaround time situation. there are staffing disruptions that affected so many sectors including test processing vendors and with such high demand. reporter: virus geeks has

provided testing to high schools and colleges and hosted the largest scale test site at the san mateo marriott before expanding. >> what are you doing to ensure this does not happen again? >> make sure we keep the volume to our capacity. i'm very sorry. reporter: he says the company is adding a new lab that will increase their capacity from processing 10,000 tests per day to 70,000 tests per day and plans to keep all testing in-house to avoid this in the future. san mateo county says if this backlog persists, they will be looking into other companies to assume the test site at the event center. larry: attorney has handed down subpoenas demanding records from two groups doing covid testing in the city, this follows our i team investigation into community wellness america and crestview clinical laboratory. questions about whether these

the forecast. let's start with the temperatures. 40 in livermore, 39 in santa rosa. most of us in the low to mid 40's. in the high elevations, the green, those are the 50's as the air will be overturned. some of that will make it to the coast. half moon bay, one of our milder spots tomorrow morning. temperatures cranking up to 63 in sunnyvale. san jose, 66. peninsula, 64 to 66. the same thing along the coast. until you get to the sunset at 63. downtown, 65. head over to the north bay, some of our warmest temperatures. lakeport, santa rosa, 68. napa, 64. richmond at 62 and 66 in oakland. to our valleys, warmer than today. succeed three to 65 in walnut

down when she received the news about her husband's death. she said bob saget had covid in december but it was nonserious. >> i will point to that last post of his where he said he felt like he was 26 again. reporter: they married in 2018 after three years of dating. she says her late husband had the biggest heart, from the way he embraced his full house family as his own. >> kaman in. -- come on in. reporter: to his work. >> he wanted to spread love and laughter and he did so amazingly and i'm so proud of him because he truly brought people together. he was so wonderful. i was so honored to be his wife and be able to be part of it and bring him any bit of happiness that i could. reporter: she says her husband's costars have been kind and

supportive. she says bob saget would be happy about that. kristen: it has been two since covid first officially appeared in the u.s., a new documentary takes a look back at the first wave. larry: from shortages to skyrocketing prices, the sticker shock at the grocery store and

>> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. kristen: this week marks two years since the first confirmed covid case in america. larry: a new documentary called the first wave looks back at

what happened in those early weeks as covid began spreading across the u.s. and the entire world. kristen: a reporter from our sister station has a preview. reporter: as the streets emptied and the emergency rooms filled, national geographic embedded with the warriors on the front lines in new york city. at long island jewish medical center, opening an unprecedented window into the first wave of the pandemic. through the eyes of academy award madea director matthew heideman who share his experience on the premiere before the omicron surge. >> there is so much courage and love and humanity that we witnessed. reporter: introducing us to heroes. >> i literally had a panic attack because when you are living through it, you are only seeing one perspective. reporter: the documentary takes us inside the epicenter of the covid outbreak in that doomed

spring of 2020 where we meet this person. >> can you squeeze my hand? reporter: fighting for his life with his wife by his side. >> can you hear me? reporter: he survived. >> i look a lot different. life is precious. life is not promised to nobody. reporter: cameras also captured in the social uprising following the killing of george floyd. >> when we started chanting, i literally felt like my breath was stripped away. reporter: the doctor protested too. >> the longest time, hugs were banned. i did not have an embrace like that in such a long time. i think i helped him but in that moment, he helped me as well. reporter: in a cinematic time capsule that honors the heroes of the pandemic. >> this film is many things. in some sense, it is a love story to new york.

documentary for free until midnight tomorrow on the abc 7 connected apps. it is also available on hulu. larry: joining us is somebody we have seen a lot of the last couple years. you are on tv more than i am. [laughter] >> i'm not sure about that. but it is good to be on. larry: it would be nice if you are not on would not have to be on. we are two years in. i still remember one of your colleagues sitting here, i asked him, how long do you think this is going to last? he said a year and i almost keeled over. what have we learned since the start of the pandemic? >> we learned that we cannot hit this virus with just one strategy, it requires multiple measures, noxious vaccine, but masking, testing more. we are excited for the future

because we have new tricks up our sleeves, some pills. if you asked me the biggest lesson i have learned, i learned that science should be aligned with politics and bad politics can impact people's health and result in the deaths of thousands of people. larry: that has been a problem, especially early on. you can argue it continues today. we have had several surges but today, officials said they are seen the omicron surge winding down in the city. are you seeing the same thing? >> yes, in the hospital. i have been tracking the admissions with covid. they have been plateauing since january 11. we did not want to announce it prematurely but that has been happening. our positivity rate has been coming down. i think it is we'll end it is earlier than i predicted because

i think it speaks to getting a little bit of advanced warning compared to the east coast, having a milder climate so people could gather more outdoorsmen needed compared to the cold in the east. hospitalizations i am optimistic that we will be out of this hopefully in three to four weeks. larry: when you say out of this, you mean this surge -- you are not seeing life returns to normal because we are going to be dealing with this for quite a while, right? dr. hong: i think life will return to semi normal. june 15, 20 21, when california was the opening, i think we will have that for three to six months, maybe until next winter, it depends whether or not we have a new variant that upends our lives again. we have had a lot of population

immunity. we have been vaccinated. next month, we are likely to have kids under five vaccinated. things are moving in a positive direction. larry: we cannot do anything about this but wait but when you look at the rest of the world, we are talking about billions that are unvaccinated and did not have the therapeutics we have. how much does the next variant concern you? there are a lot of places that would be breeding grounds for more variations. dr. hong: some people wondering whether omicron is going to continue to sweep around the world. it has not been too much in asia, australia, and new zealand yet. that is the next frontier. if it does that, everybody in the world will kind of have immunity around the same time and maybe that might be enough. but you are right, i think most people are fearing another variant. the silver lining is if you get vaccinated and boosted, despite

getting a breakthrough infection, it might be mild or no symptoms. in san francisco, despite all these cases, we only had five deaths in 2022 and it speaks to the power of vaccinations. larry: we are in a better place than we were when all of this started. thank you for your time. we are two years in and we still always appreciate your insights and appreciate you taking the time to come on. dr. hong: my pleasure, thank you. kristen: dramatic video of a reporter hit by a car in the middle of a live shot. her reaction coming up.

there are so many places we could start. what are your immediate reactions? >> as someone out in the field reporting, number one, you should not be doing a live shot at 11:00 at night with no vest in the middle of the street by yourself. second, did you see the reaction from the anchor? where was the producer, where with the director saying, let's check and see if she is ok? this is an example of why you cannot be out there on your own reporting in the field at nighttime, especially on one main break. you could cover it many other ways. kristen: if she had a photographer, he would have seen a car was coming, watch out, get out of there. she does not have ice on the back of her head. we have all been out there covering ice storms, snowstorms, putting ourselves in danger. that is our instincts, get the story first. but i think this is a wake-up call. dion: this cannot continue happening, especially in the smaller markets and we are

seeing it in larger cities as well when there are so many things happening around here. i don't think she needs to be applauded, i think it needs to be a conversation. >> it is our instinctive do that but the people that were above her and have been in the business longer and understand should have helped her. kristen: the anchor could not have been more blase about it. explained that afterwards, but even hearing she was hit, the reaction seemed muted. this one is a talker. wharton is one of the leading business schools in the country. it appears some of its students may need to learn more about the financial realities that americans face. last night, a professor tweeted, she asked her students what she thought the average american worker makes a year. 25% thought more than six figures. one thought it was $800,000 a year. the professor added she does not

necessarily think this reflect poorly on her students. i think is important that we do not dump on the students. she said, people are notoriously bad at making this kind of estimate and for the record, the real amount that the average american worker makes per year is $45,000. you got thoughts on that? mike: several. is wharton a private school? i don't want to go that route necessarily. you can google that. you will find different answers anywhere from $45,000 to $70,000. it is a sad state of there is so much information out there that you can easily find it but no one looked for it. kristen: i think it could be a reflection of where the students come from. larry: what i was going to say, if they phrased the question, what you graduates of wharton business school expect to be making, $800,000 year is accurate because it is one of the most prestigious business

schools in the country. the rest of the universe is not thriving the way wharton people are. dion: my first job in tv, $12 an hour. kristen: you were rich. dion: that was a different era. larry: you will soon be able to dig into another plant-based burger. mcdonald's announced it was testing out a new plant burger in a few markets and now they are expanding in a couple new areas including in the bay area starting next month. the mcplant will be here and in dallas starting february 14 while supplies last. who is ready for mcplant? don't all shout at once. mike: if i'm going to eat fast food, which i do infrequently, i want to go for long -- >> chick-fil-a? mike: maybe. larry: you are going to get the full burger experience. mike: i may skip the fries into the diet coke.

larry: does that make you feel better to get the diet coke with the big mac? kristen: i know dion does not compromise. you want the full thing, not the substitute, you want the thing. dion: the thing, that is a very scientific -- yeah.

out the window the second we look at this. >> we don't do diets over here. larry: what got you into the home baking business? that has to be challenging. >> i have been a baker for 20 years and i have always been kind of a serial entrepreneur. when we bought this house, we needed to make ends meet. i knew of some other people that were picking out of their house so i started small. now it has grown, taking on a life of its own. larry: talk about how you ideate these flavors. you have some unique ones. this is the savory one, what is that? >> it is college greens -- colored rings. generally speaking, i try to
