hit harder than other areas of the state right now. dustin dorsey looks at why this is happening and when the cases may drop back down. reporter: we are used to hearing troubling information, but amid what doctors are calling the latest wave, some good news. despite a in cases, hospitalizations are only slightly up ticking if not remaining stable throughout the bay area. >> cases go up but hospitalizations are staying low. that was true for the vaccinated with omicron being one and delta. but now it is everyone because there is so much natural immunity. reporter: nine of the top 10 counties are bay area counties according to state data. over the past two years, working from home and other protections have kept cases lower than most. but that is now allowed for infection to spread as people

return to normal with overall lower natural immunity. >> everyone is tired of the pandemic and we wanted to recapture some of the missed opportunities we had during the pandemic by meeting people. make no mistake, there is a lot of covid out there right now. reporter: how can we protect ourselves? get boosted and mask indoors. but he thinks a bigger measure may be needed. >> would probably do need a new vaccine because the virus has evolved very much since the original vaccines which were based on the original variant. but now if you want to prevent infection, we may need to have a new vaccine. >> in the short-term, cases should normalize. reporter: how long before we see the low come back? >> that's a very good question.

they are fully vaccinated and boosted and they are being reasonably careful, they can avoid it. kristen: dr. walker went on to say based on ucsf numbers, he estimates one in 20 people, one in 20 in san francisco have covid right now, even if they are feeling well and are asymptomatic. larry: bringing back more leisure travel is certainly a goal but more people traveling for business is an important spark that the bay area economy desperately needs right now. >> we are open for business and we want you back. >> that is the message to promote travel from places like san jose and san francisco. the number of people traveling has been going up around the country. nationwide, the american hotel and lodging association says they expect is your travel to be back it was in 2019.

it's already been fed twice. it appears to be doing wonderfully. >> we saw annie eating some of the eggshell. that is normal, right? >> that is totally normal. birds actually need calcium to form the eggshell so it is partially how they get that calcium back. larry: when might the eggs hatch and how many are you expecting at this point? >> we expect to be 24 to 48 hours. we will probably know by sunday. annie has never actually hatched all of the eggs that she has laid. we will have all three. larry: in the video, we don't see alden. the new man in annie's life. is he getting involved in raising the chick?

much. eight hours? 26 miles for a six-year-old? i know they are full of energy and if you wanted to do it, i understand that. but i think it's a bit much. kristen: if the whole family is there i think it's fine to me. if the parents think it's appropriate and they are with the child the whole time and clearly they took their time. they went four miles an hour. sometimes we can be a little too controlling, if you will. sandy: in the race director said they would run it with the six-year-old. they said they are not going to let anyone under 18 do it moving forward and some professional racers weighed in and said, this is not safe. this should not have happened. even though the father said i checked on my child every couple of miles and asked if he wanted to finish, they did finish, but,

again, it's not necessarily safe. kristen: textile conservators are not happy that kardashian wore a gown that marilyn monroe or 60 years ago to sing happy birthday. this sets back what is considered professional treatment for historic costume. i did think it was super weird and surprised it was allowed to happen. what was your impression? sandy: a little strange. i have to agree with you. >> she borrowed the dress from ripley's. i guess there was a lot of caution with her even trying it on, putting it on. she only headed on during the red carpet part so when she sat down to eat, she had a replica on. but it is a historic dress.

so people that really focus on preserving these types of historic costumes and dresses, things like that, they say she should have never worn it but i do know that there were a lot of rules put into place for her to wear it for that short amount of time. they were worried she might rip the bottom of it. she wore taller heels so that the dress did not drag on the ground, but still. larry: i did not know there was so much care given to these historic garlands. but ok. let's move on. it's world passport day. in addition to cinco de mayo, we can talk about passwords, but not the worst ones. apple, microsoft, google, they are committed to building password list sign in. they say it will be safer and less vulnerable to hacks. your phone would store your passkey to unlock your account. you just need your phone nearby and you would be prompted to

overmix. i think that is probably the number one thing. larry: i'm surprised you even told her. my restaurants prized recipe, i'm not telling kristen sze. i'm telling you to mix more. make sure you mix a lot. that's what i would do. but you are a nicer human than i am. kristen: i just get it out of people. larry: we are going and once, this group, together. we don't do anything together, but let's say we did. what would we order? what should we order? >> the chefs adventure menu. this is something we started a couple months ago. it's five course, whatever i want to cook for you. a bit more adventurous. you can do wine pairings and it's a good way to get a taste of the whole menu.
