behind? >> there are three factors. stephanie: he says the main reasons are a larger percentage of fully remote jobs, the amount of people leaving the city for other counties is higher than other markets, and the massive increase in home prices in the bay area compared to these other cities. >> a lot of these skyscrapers might look empty today. i think time is going to be our friend in this one. stephanie: and the time may speed up sooner than we speak. robert is a senior researcher for a real estate firm. he says sick 5% of the company's tenants across -- 65% of the company's tenants across san francisco are tech companies. a new 640,000 square-foot building in soma that could bring significant impacts to the market. >> over the next few weeks, that is going to be much more of an optimist view on san francisco. stephanie: what he means by

optimistic view is we may see an increased demand for smaller companies to make a commitment to san francisco if these larger tech tenants make the move to expand, because many of the pending deals he referenced would be expansions. if they close, they could reduce the vacancy rate across the city, which did increase modestly so far this quarter. stephanie sierra, abc7 news. >> our media partners at the san francisco standard have been digging into the details of the sales force tower tenants and back to work plans. they say things may never be what they once were. according to the standard's research, none of the five largest tenants have plans currently to bring workers into the office five days a week. >> sales force tower is not just tech, it is law firms, etc. there is a wework there as well. we find the tenants are asking workers to come back between zero and three days a week. >> the lack of office workers

>> building a better bay area. this is abc7 news. karina: california has officially topped 8.5 million covid-19 cases since the start of the pandemic. the state wide positivity rate over the last seven days is 1.5%. larry: today the white house announced a new task force focused on long-haul covid. its upcoming reports will lay out existing services and the plan for further research needs. karina: in june 2020 san jose mask -- jose mandated mask wearing to cope with the coronavirus. two years later the city made the decision to remove the mandate. but as dustin dorsey explains,

covid variants may throw a wrench into the plans. dustin: in san jose we will now be able to see smiles in the community, whether you are enjoying an event at the sap center or out downtown. the city is removing their indoor mask mandate for most settings for the first time in nearly two years. >> compared to january 2022, when there was a significant rise in covid cases due to the omicron variant, covid-19 hospitalizations remain relatively low and stable, so at this time the city feels it is appropriate to resend the policy. dustin: santa clara county and san jose once had one of the most strict restrictions. san jose remains the most highly vaccinated largest city in the u.s.. according to the county's wastewater covid numbers, san jose's detection of covid is shooting up with the ba.2 and xe

variant emergent. >> although we are a highly vaccinated city, we need to remain vigilant and be flexible if changes need to be made in the future. dustin: a ufc doctor says -- a ucf doctor says as long as hospitalizations remain low in san jose and throughout the bay area, he doesn't anticipate mask mandates to go backwards for now. >> we may see an increase in cases in the community, but probably not so much of a hit on the hospital side, which i think will make people feel more reassured. i predict we will stay in time for the next ba.2 or xe for the time being. dustin: the main days ultimately come down to local jurisdictions. the variants may make leaders reconsider options as they see fit. dustin dorsey, abc7 news. larry: joining me as abc7 contributor dr. alok patel. we just heard the conversation

about this new variant that people may not know about, called the xe. it is a combination of other variants. dr. patel: larry, you are right. it is a recombinant variant, meaning it is part of two other lineages. it is called xe because we have already seen xa, b, c and d and none caused that much of the catastrophe. right now over 600 cases, but it is not a variant of concern. there is no indication this will be a more viral and or serious -- virulent or serious one. if you have vaccine and unity or were -- immunity or were infected previously with omicron , you will not be affected. larry: what do you think we will see going forward with cases? dr. patel: fingers crossed that that buffer we have from being a highly vaccinated city with over

80%, and we have a crowd with measures to take. i am sure people out there are identifying less of those a symptom attic positive cases. we still have ba.2. and we don't know what is going to happen in the next couple months. i would not rest easy saying masks will stay off. things could always change. larry: we have more people returning to work just this week. do you expect to see a surge, not surge, b ut an -- but an uptick in the next few weeks? dr. patel: the latter part of what you are saying. we could see a bit of an uptick. that does not necessarily mean it will be a huge outbreak. we have even seen a bit of an uptake in some of those cases in san francisco county, but we saw

a low level of severe illness, and that is what matters. that is why people going back to the workplace have to make those decisions for themselves about how they feel regarding the vaccination status of their coworkers and went to wear our mask. it is up to the individual. larry: today the fda's panel of efforts -- of experts will meet to discuss booster shots that will be coming this fall. a lot of people do not want to go in for the fourth shot at this point. dr. patel: they don't. i hope tomorrow after the fda's meeting, which is supposed to be addressing a tentative plan with the booster shot, what fall may look like, what is an acceptable level of protection the population? i hope we get a lot more transparency and questions answered so that people do understand what it means to get a booster shot. are we going to need a variant specific shot this fall? will it be like influenza? i hope we see a good train transparent summary tomorrow

after this meeting. -- clean, transparent summary tomorrow after this meeting. larry: are we officially ready to call it an endemic, or not quite there? dr. patel: not yet. here is the thing, the endemic status according to public health officials, infectious disease doctors i've talked to, is when we can predict what an infection is going to look like. it doesn't have to do with the severity of an illness, it has to do with disease spread. right covid-19 is unpredictable. we don't know for certain what will happen in summer and fall. influenza and malaria are both endemic and kill thousands of people worldwide a year. it just has to do with how much we can contain the spread. larry: doc, i remember sitting side-by-side with you when you said this would last a long time. you were right. i think we are getting closer to you sitting next to me again and

i can't wait for that. dr. patel: i have never wished to be more wrong in my entire life than when i said that to you. larry: i wish you were wrong, but you are never wrong. dr. patel, thank you for your time. dr. patel: i am sometimes, but thank you for the vote of confidence. karina: a change in baseball that may have some purists crying fell.

of their grandparents. only 4% can name all eight grandparents -- eight great grandparents. dan, can you do it? dan: that is a good question. grandparents, yes, great-grandparents no. but i have the information because i did genealogical research years ago. i actually have it. but off the top of my head, no. spencer: same thing here. great-grandparents, i have to go back to the family records. larry: i can do grandparents, but great parents -- but great-grandparents no. if we had cell phones like this 100 years ago, we would have our great-grandparents on tape. you just think of all the stories in your family that you don't even know about that you would have preserved forever.

future generations will be able to enjoy that, but not necessarily for great-grandparents. dan: my grandchildren and beyond will be able to enjoy my puns forever. [laughter] larry: they will also learn the mute button. you heard of social media influencers and you have seen pets that go viral. now more and more pet owners are trying to transform their pets into petfluencers? i don't even know how to say this. that is a new word, petfluencer. a new survey finds one in four pet parents hope to turn their four-legged friends into social media stars. according to the pet insurer, more than two thirds of pet owners surveys created an account for their pets the average account. has more than 900 followers. dan: snowball is going to be a

star. larry: i do feel envious when i see a dog that has way more followers than i do. but his content is usually better. [laughter] karina: i think it's great because when you look at your instagram, doesn't it make you happy when you see cute pictures of dogs anc -- dogs and cats? i think the more petfluencers we have, the better. larry: we have grumpy cats. may grumpy cat was the first petfluencer. i can't even say that anymore. karina: you did it a couple times. good job. a team of researchers from the u.k. and sweden say they identified the best and worst smells in the world. start thinking about it.

had never spelled it before the survey. -- smelled it before the survey. the smelled the group hated the most? i can't even believe i'm saying this on the air. foot sweat. larry: that is one of my favorites.
