picture of himself today today. he called congressional members and those in his senior staff and will continue to work from his residence an average of 126,000. people are testing positive each day in just the last week the united states recorded more than 800 80,000 new covid cases and that numbers thought to be much higher because of home tests going unreported. the cdc says the va-5 omicron subariant now makes up. most 80% of those new cases and nearly 6200 covid positive americans are entering the hospital each day. that is up by 42% in the last month a main question now is how long we will have to keep living with high transmissibility and the emergence of new variants abc 7 news reporter. zach fuentes has more on how experts think covid could play out in the coming months. the world is continuing to see impacts from a wave of covid that's lasted longer than anyone

would like santa clara county deputy health officer, dr. george. hahn says locally. we've been in this new wave since may and at this point there doesn't seem to be an end in sight previous waves have been relatively quick they come, you know, lots of people get covid and then after a month or two, you know cases start to settle down again. we have not seen that this time dr. han says even though at home tests are not included in the counties official. base counts sewer shed data is showing that covid is so prevalent in the local community that there's still lots of code out there. in fact, there's probably as much covid as we've ever seen still doctors. say the number of safety measures that are disposal has kept this way from being as deadly as others at thursday's press briefing on the president's covid diagnosis emphasis was placed on his fully vac status and taking the antiviral pill pax levid. these are incredibly important things for the president to have they're incredibly important things for every right now there is still no universal mask mandate in most places including the bay area dr. han couldn't

weigh in on whether we will see a return of mask mandates, but did double down on the fact that proper masking indoors is still a key safety tool? okay and 95 a kf94 or an n95 that actually will protect you from getting covid as for how much longer he sees this wave sticking around and how kids are turning to school will affect the number of bay area cases, dr. hans says it's difficult to predict. what i can say, is that most experts expect some kind of way to occur is fall or winter. the timing is still uncertain, but what we can say is for sure get as many vaccines and boosters as you're eligible for and then, you know, continuing your high quality mask indoors zach fuentes abc 7 news. joining me now is abc 7 news contributor dr. alok patel doc has always. thanks for the time. so let's start with president biden and first of all, his age age 79. i mean, we know he's gonna get the very best medical care

possible. but what are your concerns when when you have an older patient? well, simply put larry older patient is more likely to get severely ill wind up in the hospital and we know that that risk is going to be dramatically reduced president biden given his vaccination status his booster status and the fact that he is on paxilvid and has access to world-class healthcare, but i'm also worried about long covid in him as well long covid in anyone out there. so we're gonna be paying a close eye to how he does over the next week. all right covid cases. obviously been going up dramatically you got school about to start in a few weeks. what are you telling? parents and in your practice in particular simply put get vaccinated get vaccinated make sure your kids are vaccinated and doing that now because it takes time to build up that immunity and you want to be set to go before it's school starts and roughly the middle to the end of august and parents as tough as this is to say expect your child to run into ba5 given how incredibly transmissible it is. so you went ahead is your best and do what you can to protect your kids. i mentioned vaccination three times, but also wearing a mask

and making sure your children stay home if they have any symptoms. you're not infecting others. are you mention? asks, they are not required in schools. should they be required? this is a tough one there because i personally do not see a mandate coming back right now. this could obviously change if we see an increase in hospitalizations, but i think it's important that we focus on the message that masks that we just heard and 95's can 95's kf94. it's worked incredibly well in older kids, especially those kids in high school should be encouraged to wear them while we have so much transmission without the school year in session. so no one can really predict what's gonna happen in fall. this is a different story for those younger kids who may not be be able to tolerate this but motel larry, i want to just circle back to president biden and one item that you mentioned in particular about pax levid because you see some reports out there where people are getting rebound infections after taking pax levid. what do we know about that clinically? you know, we're looking at different pre-print studies and the estimates of summer routine

two to ten percent. it's really hard to say larry, but what is important to note? is that even in the current wave right now variance that packs of it was not tested against it is still by and large keeping people out of a hospital. it's doing its job. and so that's why i mentioned that it's gonna be critical to watch how president biden does over the next seven days because remember what dr. fauci he tested negative then tested positive and was given a second chorus a paxil it is so is is possible that president biden just needs one. is it possible the extend his course? does he test negative then test positive? no one really knows for sure. but i hope that they continue the transparent communication. yeah, obviously everybody will be watching and we appreciate your time dr. patel. thanks. hives and rashes or some of the symptoms infectious disease is specialists are getting calls about after people test negative for covid abc 7 news reporter loose pena spoke to experts including allergist who explained when you should be concerned. they may start on your knees or arms and move around your body. these are the type of hives

stamford infectious diseases dr. and lou is seen after covid infection. we got a lot of calls about hives so, you know specifically these wells that look like really big mosquito bites. after people have had covid dr. lou says these hives or rashes shouldn't be interpreted as allergies the immune system getting stimulated by the virus dr. robert durano with the allergy and asthma associates of northern california is noticing similar skin reactions during the recovery phase of infection. he says this happens with covid but also other viruses once the immune system has ramped up in this fighting the infection that they start having outbreaks of of hives they come and go they'll pop up here then they'll pop up here dr. terano recommends to consult with a medical professional but says in many cases these hives can go away with over-the-counter medication if a patient takes a simple antihistamine like a benadryl or claritin or a leg or something like that over the

counter often the hives will respond and fade away and tell them medication wears off according to cdc data rashes are part of the list of post-covid infection symptoms. why is after people test negative they start getting these rashes sometimes when people still actively infected. a lot of times after the infection is clearing and that's partially probably because it's the immune system that's still revved up and and the immune system is clearing the virus and as it's doing that you can get misfiring within the immune system a resulting in rashes like this doctor torano says that many cases these rashes can way after two hours, but in some cases may last several weeks up to six weeks is considered acute hives or short-term hives over six weeks is considered long-term hives in san jose loose pena abc 7 news. san francisco supervisor rafael mandelman has criticized the federal government's response to

saw the fencing i just assumed maybe it was being cleared out for an event, but that's not the case. it's being clear to try and clean up the area which has become overrun by a legal vendors amid the pandemic it's gone from immigrant vendor selling their artists and goods to a huge market of stolen goods supervisor hillary ronan introducing legislation in march requiring. errors to have a permit allowing the city to clamp down on those selling illegally, but the process has been delayed. the law isn't going to be fully enforced into august after the whole online permanent system is set up that we felt like we just need a change of atmosphere at the 24th street bar. and this fencing is being described as a last resort a way of keeping the vendors and the public safe by no means is it meant to be a permanent solution susanna rojas is the executive director of the calivante quattro latino cultural district

non-profits working with the city to try and make it a safer place. how do you think this fencing off is going to help and impact these these businesses? i think as you can see here, it's it just that people that have been bending on the street. they're already organized that we they're permitted. so it just makes it easier to be able to see who are vendors who are already registered and permitted vendors like sophia already have their seller permit the next step will be a vendor permit from the city. always is too much. people know no bueno. and the difficult for for everybody the sale here. i love this fence. i love it. but because it's more safe milagros lopez has been selling her jewelry here for eight years and says the past two she hasn't felt safe a lot of illegal vendors comes inside. i'm sorry to mention but homeless people living in there they do in drugs the hope is

this gives the community a chance to clean up while the city rolls out the vendor permit program. it gives us an opportunity to clean and revitalize the plaza and then it also gives us an opportunity to outreach and reach out those who haven't participated on the program terror campbell abc 7 news. a protest in the port of oakland has been extended into today and they're growing concerns. it could add to the nation's supply shortage problems. this is video from this morning at the port you can see truckers parked outside unable to go in activities at the port have been shut down for the past three days independent truckers are protesting a state law that reclassifies some of them as company employees. they meet certain workplace criteria in the north bay caltrans broke ground today on their final expansion project of highway. at the novato narrows between novato and the sonoma marin county line abc 7 news reporter lena howland has a look at how this will impact life for commuters.

southern california is finally getting justice generations after their beachfront land was seized under a cloud of racism now nearly a hundred years later a community came together to write this wrong abc news reporter andrea fujii has more. this transfer of land will not reverse and injustice that took place almost a hundred years

ago, but it represents a bold step right direction bruce's beach three acres of prime real estate in manhattan beach is now back with its rightful owner descendants of willa and charles bruce who bought the land back in 1912 that was going to everything i could to get it back at the time the bruce's built a resort on the land which became a respite for families, but they faced relentless racism and harassment by white neighbors and the ku klux klan still they refused to leave until 1924 when the city of manhattan beach sees the property from them through eminent domain. it's that empty for decades until the city built a park the county and state eventually took it over but now through the persistence of the bruce family and local leaders. it is my honor to be here to present a certified copy to the family. the deed is back in the family's hands. thank you so much. the bruce is faced legal challenges.

it eventually took a state law to transfer the land supporters. hope this move paves the way for other injustices to be corrected. this work is no longer unprecedented. the county will now lease a lifeguard station on bruce's beach and the bruce's will eventually be able to sell the property to the county for 20 million dollars. andrea fuji abc news, new york all right, let's turn to the weather forecast now. i think kristen should we apologize to mike? because it feels like we're interrupting his lunch because he's just chowing down on all this stuff from its sugar. i can hear just the noises in the back right now. i'm not gonna apologize. he should do a little work in between snacks right a little right? yeah you squeezed in a forecast i can try. okay definitely couldn't squeeze in lunch today. so let's take a look at what i was doing instead and i was trying to find some of that cooler weather especially for you inland? how about some mid to upper 80s through most of our inland east bay north bay and south bay a

few 90s out there like around say antioch, fairfield morgan hill lakeport in ukiah. it could be worse at least 100 million americans across 25 states including california dealing with heat wave and heat index value is greater than 100 and places like fresno. we're on our second week and more likely going to have a third week same thing up in reading of 100 degree plus temperatures. so if you're heading away from the bay area expect it to be a lot warmer back here. we do have one warm day sunday, but otherwise, we're really close to being average all seven days of the forecast. kristin average looks so good. yeah right by the way, mike the bosses are all out of the office. so about all the hard work. nobody's listening. oh let's keep acting keep snacking talk trash. i'm gonna keep snacking earlier this yes, we'll do whatever we talked about those new trash cans that are popping up in san francisco kristen. i'm sure he's i'm sure you're chewing. all right, i'll just take your lines. it's a test to see which ones work best and what the city should buy. we spoke with beth rubinstein

with san francisco public works on abc 7 at 7:00 this morning about this project. the the ones that are custom, you know one of them costs. $18,000 another one costs twenty thousand dollars. another one's $11,000. why didn't we just go with off the shelf? trash cans if you're testing them anyway. right good point the three off the shelf ones were testing. they don't really meet all of our criteria. they don't have an easy recycling exchange, which is really important and they they're very bulky on the street and i want to be sure that folks understand this that our target cost for a trash can is two to $3,000 a piece. so what you're seeing here are prototypes just just like detroit's concept car, you know toyota's concept car you build a concept car. maybe $250,000, but you're focusing on a car. that's 25-30,000. so even though these prototypes are handmade by a local

fabricator. they've been designed to be mass manufactured with the target price of two to $3,000. san francisco is a unique city, but sure but aren't there other cities that also have narrow sidewalks and people who are going through the trash, you know, we get a lot of reports of trash around the trash can but not in the trash can and the cities that we've seen they don't have a successful. can they still have the issue around rummaging and recycling issues? so yes, we've not seen this successful can out there which is why we went for the the custom design. you can vote by going to sf public works dot org. and unusual item now on display in san francisco link to both world war two and a famous world war two and a famous puppeteering family next.
