area. to give you an idea, the cdc shows six of the nine bay area counties are reporting substantial or high levels of community transmission. sonoma, bahrain, and santa clarita are all orange, indicating substantial transmission. san francisco and san mateo counties are red, indicating transmission is high. does this mean we are in the midst of another incoming covid wave? doctors say it is possible. >> the risk of transmission is high. it may look different from previous surges given that there are a lot of factors that play. >> we may see some slowing of the decline, a few lips up and down like in the east, but i don't think we will see any huge big surge like we have seen in the u.k.. stephanie: the b.a. 2 variant accounts for 80% of new covid cases across the u.s..

this ucsf doctor says these minor cases spikes will slow some progress, but they will not be enough to divert the bay area off our overall decline. >> my friends and colleagues who are physicians, clinicians, scientists, they are still wearing their masks while they are indoors around people they don't know. unfortunately, there is a lot of folks who aren't doing that. and so the waves will come. stephanie: dr. wasserman, who sat on the state's vaccine advisory committee, says the most recent spike can partially be attributed to the lack of masking, an important reminder that we can't go back to normal without precautions. a warning that may bring back masking restrictions sooner than we think. >> we are already seeing city star tribune state that, certain private institutions. the issue is that if you delay this, by the time you reinstate it, you will be so far behind. stephanie: stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. ama: first elon musk drops $3 billion on stock and is named to

prevented from taking over the company, because there would have been a kept of how much stock he would have bought. this brings up the idea of a possible hostile takeover. that has a lot of people wondering how he will run it. to cap off this weekend of ups and downs, he also posted a poll on twitter. he asked twitter followers, should twitter's headquarters in san francisco be turned into a part-time homeless shelter? after all, the people that work there are working remotely now. typical elon musk in that he has drawn attention to his favorite subject, himself. in the process, the question is, is he playing the market? yes? is he playing the tech world? yes. is he playing you, me, the media? you better believe it. dan: it is hard to know what his endgame is. is he just horsing around?
