to stick around? mike: as long as that monsoon flow continues to push wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere toward us, we could have hazy conditions for the foreseeable future. but that's in the upper parts of the atmosphere. take a look at the lower parts as we look back to the east. that looks ready good. air quality is pretty good but head to the high country and you can see it is unhealthy for everybody, no matter what your health staossemite. at night, it will be unhealthy all the way up to tahoe as that smoke will settle into the valleys. for us, everything is green and as we look at the forecast, everything is going to remain green until possibly thursday. that's healthy for all of us. but do we have to thank for this ? the marine layer. it's about 1800 to 2000 feet, which means it tall enough to reach most of the valleys where we live and that is why we have

know you may smell some of that smoke coming from the oak fire. we have clouds, patchy drizzle, they will return every night of the seven day forecast, especially in the inland and east bay neighborhoods. then we have minor temperature changes all week even as we get into next monday, which is august 1. it's already here. here's a look at the smoke forecast. the orange is the higher elevation. you get toward the sierra and that's where we have a rainbow of colors. that is the lower elevations, where it's dangerous. notice as we head into tonight and tomorrow, it stays in the sierra but we are seeing a lot of orange in the east bay and north bay and that will continue tomorrow. it's going to look a lot worse than it actually is. we are watching this moisture because a couple of models say this particular setup of storms may drift back our way. i give it about a 10% chance.

i think it will fall apart. but it is a counterclockwise flow drawing it back and bringing us the marine layer and these temperatures. fixed he one in san francisco. brent would not touched by iteil aggressive and they canfastwe hr 50's. mo, we are starting in the upper 70's through most of the south bay. mid 80's for places like morgan hill. the peninsula not quite as breezy. along the coast, low to mid 60's until you get to sunset at 59. downtown san francisco around 64. that breeze will keep you comfortable in the north bay. some 60's are possible in

richmond, berkeley and oakland. my accuweather 7 day forecast, we are pretty much stuck between that low and that area of high pressure. that's why you are barely seeing any changes in our temperatures. mid to upper 70's around the bay. even as we head into the weekend. it doesn't get much quieter than that. dan: we like it quiet. a pair of san francisco residents scratching their heads over a strange parking problem. they were issued a fine for parking in a space painted red while they were parked in it. karina: dion lim went to sf mta to get to the bottom of what happened in a story will only see here on seven. >> as with many neighborhoods in san francisco, finding a place to park can be a bit of a full-time sport. if you have a regular spot like desiree and jeff, you will park in it. >> any time it's open, i've been

parking there for 25 years. >> but what happened when we could go at the corner of larkin and union was a first. >> we came out and i noticed the ticket on my car. >> she was hit with a $108 parking in a red zone. >> this seems unfair to me. >> which she says was not there when she parked there a couple of ago. >> they have the nerve to just go around my tire. >> you can see a spot they missed when avoiding the tire. an amusing detail for jeff who is a painter by trade. i had painter friends: say what a bad job that was. they missed a spot. >> i spoke with a rest present -- with a representative from the sf mta who said it's not for the newly red painted stripe. instead, it's for an old faded one. very faded. sf mta provided the service request to paint the stripe and an image showing how warned the

red paint was. google images we pulled from the 16 and make me went showing the same curb from afar which appears nearly painless. hence why they parked in that space were so many years. >> it seems unfair. >> because they contested the ticket, they say it's up to the citation clerk to determine if it will be dismissed. a process that could take up to 60 days. >> i'm going through chemotherapy, so i'm worried about other things and now i have to worry about this. >> after all the challenges of living in the city lately, including another nickel related trauma, this is there final straw. >> we want to leave because of all of the stuff that goes on in the city. >> to say hello to a new home in france. dan: is that wild? u iantosh why s w chargerirs

california, there is tax-free holiday set for this year but it could return next year. karina: time for consumer news -- prove high prices are not keeping people from traveling by air. dan: michael finney is here with a look at tonight's consumer headlines. >> tourists are back. just go to north beach in the shady -- in the city. u.s. custom and border protection says it screened more than 9.7 million passengers flying internationally last month. the points guy says that number is more than 1700 times higher compared to the amount of passengers screened in 2020 when international travel options were limited due to covid. june's number is double that of last year. huber has admitted to covering up a massive cybersecurity attack that occurred back in 2016. huber revealed the breach a year

later. the hackers accessed confidential data of 57 million customers and drivers. it's part of a settlement to avoid criminal prosecution. the company paid its hackers a 100,000 ransom to delete the data and keep the hack quiet. plan on retiring early? seems like many americans are doing just the opposite. we are retiring later than workers have in the past. in 1991, u.s. retirees on average reported they retired at get this -- age 57. now the average reported retirement is 61. for those of us still working, our target retirement age is also older. the target is up from 60 in 1995 to 66 today. i would say that's just being realistic. karina: we should stop counting

down. it's going to be longer. dan: raising canes employees could be cashing in after tomorrow's mega millions trying. the founder of the chicken fingers restaurant chain bought 50,000 tickets, one for each crewmember. the jack pot currently is in the neighborhood of $790 million. we did the math and each worker could get nearly $16,000 should one of the tickets at the lucky numbers. there's only one restaurant in the bay area. the one that opened in oakland just a couple of weeks ago. good luck to those employees. karina: still to come, close calls with covid. dan: you will hear from some people who said they never had the virus more than two years on.

announcer: building a better bay area -- moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc 7 news. dan: the white house says today president biden is continuing to improve as he recovers from covid 19. karina: he's infected with a highly contagious ba five, now the most dominant strain america. the president's doctor wrote a letter, saying he's responded to therapy is expected and nearly all of his symptoms have gone away. over the weekend, he was dealing with a sore throat and mild symptoms. pres. biden: let me start by apologizing, my voice, i feel much better than i sound. dan: doctors say the president will continue taking the antiviral drug, paxlovid. after the president completes his isolation, he will return to work in the west wing as soon as he tests negative. karina: with a ba five variant running wild in california, it

seems like nearly everyone has had a brush with covid, but there are exceptions. today, leslie brinkley caught up with some people who never got the virus despite some close calls. >> is getting covid inevitable? not according to those who have somehow walked to the covid minefield unscathed. you could call them covid virgins, like this woman who took care of her mom and sister unmasked. >> i was like selling the house, i put a towel under the door, everything was getting sprayed and disinfected. but i didn't catch it. i don't know how i didn't. it was a miracle, for sure. >> just a few weeks ago, my dad had it and i'm living with him over the summer. he wore a mask and went upstairs to his room. i tested negative. >> these two friends have avoided it despite a college roommate getting it. >> i've always managed to test negative, which is pretty lucky.

>> for people who have not gotten covid, i think it's a combination of what their community looks like, their level of protection and luck. there's some research out there to suggest it might also be genetics but nothing definitive about that yet. >> somehow, this man says he didn't get covid despite sitting next to someone recently on a plane who had it. >> i would credit it to overall lifestyle and health. going to the gym, watching what i eat, things of that nature. i would say the split is 80/20. >> for anyone who has not yet got covid 19, please know that it sucks and assume you are going to run into it. >> whether you credit masks, vaccines, luck or genetics, getting the ba five variant is likely but not inevitable. dan: so interesting.

the number of people who have never had covid may shrink even more soon as the omicron ba five sub variant continues to search. how likely are you to catch the virus if you've never had it before? joining us live to answer that question and a lot more about covid is the ucf infectious disease specialist. great to see you as always. this is a fascinating topic. i want to go back to something that gentleman in the piece said that maybe he thinks it's 80% lifestyle, 20% luck. no doubt being healthy may help, and genetics may play a role, but it can't just be luck, can it? your body must have, this guy may have some extra resistance other people don't have? >> i think one factor the reporter didn't mention is many people might have gotten it but didn't know they had it. if you look at the cdc data,

about two thirds of americans have evidence from their antibodies they've seen covid before. up to 70% of kids. that's another factor. when you've gotten it is also an important factor. dan: that's a great point. let's talk quickly about being anti-symptomatic. that means literally there are people who've had it and have had no symptoms whatsoever and there is nothing that would indicate they are sick. >> exactly. we screen everyone who comes and whether they have symptoms or not. i think it's really telling that one in 20 people have absolutely no symptoms but they are testing positive. dan: let's talk about this new variant, the ba five variant that is so transmissible. are you expecting another search? >> i don't think i'm expecting another surge, but rather a slow return to normal. a slow return to ground level. today, when you look at where the viruses in california, we've

been eclipsed from number one finally in the bay area and southern california's now number one. it means we are barreling through this big surge in the bay area, but people are not getting as reinfected after they've had recent infection. dan: if there is anything that's reassuring, it's today's covid is not what the initial covid was. it's not nearly as dangerous as the early iterations of this virus, correct? >> it can still be dangerous for some people, but because sony people have either had a combination of vaccines, boosting and exposure to virus and the environment, we have an increasingly more protected community. if you look at what happened when omicron went to hong kong and the elder population, it estimated that because they weren't protected in the same way we were. it's part virus but also part

population immunity. dan: we have had the ba five variant, no reason there won't be a 6, 7, on and on. we may live with covid for quite some time. >> most people think we will probably have on and off periods of infection and quiet periods for about a year. but we will get stronger and stronger every time. even though we have had absolute hot levels of virus in the community, the hospitals, even though moderately full, have never seen the previous surges in terms of overflowing beds, people in the icu. it's a very different time not only for the tools we have but also for how many people are actually getting very sick. dan: thanks, as always. see you soon.

many say they would like to see a mandatory retirement age. the poll was conducted just weeks after the court issued high-profile rulings, including on abortion rights and done rights as well. no surprise. i will start with you, mike, people are examining how the supreme court works given a couple of controversial rulings. but what do you think? life terms? is that viable? mike: in my mind, it's not. my mind was made up well before the recent events. i understand what the founding fathers did with the presidency because they did not want him to become a king but all branches of the government should have some kind of limits on them. look at how corrupt congress is because of the money that is thrown their way -- i can't think of the term, but you understand what i'm saying and you wonder why they don't have term limits? why doesn't the supreme court have term limits? other branches of the government have term limits.

my brother-in-law is an atf agent and had to retire at 55. why are these people continually in -- making decisions that are out of touch. dan: the theory was you wanted the supreme court to not be part of the political process. they didn't abend flow. what do you think about term limits? sandhya: i'm with mike on this. there should be term limits. at times have changed and people change, the people in charge should be able to be open minded and if they've been in position for such a long time, they might not be open to some of these ideas, so it's important that's done away with. karina: i'm going to agree with both of you and say some people have retired in their 80's, so maybe just retire in your 70's and go enjoy their lives.

we are talking about bay area tech giant -- they've created an app to help homeowners make extra cash. you thought there was nap for everything. this one is called a spot, the app invites people to turn their yards into rent by the hour private dog parts -- dog parks. you can let someone else's dog play and in your yard for a price. the creator came up with an idea living in san francisco. they now upgrade in 2000 cities across the u.s. i'm going to tell you a quick personal story. my friend who lives in santa monica says all the dogs stop and use her yard to do their business. she has a gate. now i'm going to tell her she's going to have to start charging people. dan: if only we could get our dog to go in our yard. [laughter]

mike: my yard is way too small. i don't think oreo would have anything to do with any dogs in our backyard but i can understand if you have a synthetic backyard and you love dogs, but a lot of us live in subdivisions where we have walls. we have the six foot fence all around us and we don't have a lot of room or we want that privacy. i don't know. sandhya: i wonder who's going to clean up the poop. [laughter] who's going to do that? dan, would you do that? dan: probably not. snowball might go for it. let's turn to some incredible video from the east coast. humpback whale struck a fishing boat off the coast of massachusetts. take a look at this -- you can see the whale land on the boat, causing the bow to dip in the water. the two people on board were not hurt and surprisingly, the boat
