6:05 am
development issues and that is causing him having issues when it comes to keeping the mask on pretty said the boy is smart but it is creating a conflict with the classroom and school district mask mandate. they are having an issue with him keeping it on and had to remove him from class. tv shows interaction with him and the teacher where the teacher pulled the boy out of the classroom. the school district is the only known district in the region to have masks required to start the school year. they did that because kobe transmission was considered high in santa clara county. however, now there is a sudden change wear masks are optional with the school district. this happened during a school board meeting. the father did not want to share his last name. he said it is tough not being able to see his son is full. >> i'm getting him to school to be turned away with tears in his eyes.

6:08 am
courtroom thursday but taking no action to support the release, despite trump saying on social media he wants the full unredacted version unsealed. the justice department for now once the affidavit to remain secret, claiming publicly releasing the sensitive documents at this point could jeopardize its criminal investigation. since the at best search last week, angry trump supporters have called for violence against federal investigators. now doj lawyers say they are concerned about the safety of the witnesses. lawyers adding a redacted version would be so heavily blacked out that there would be nothing of substance left. >> it is not the government's job to tell the public what is meaningful in terms of the release of its own information. reporter: the department of justice has until next thursday to file the proposed reductions. then the judge would decide whether to unseal the affidavit.

6:10 am
while the racial and ethnic makeup stayed relatively the same, latinos where the exception. over the last three years, homelessness in that community shot up 55%, an example of the toll that covid has taken. >> many lost jobs and even before the pandemic were living in insecure housing situations. reporter: while the latest report might offer hope, many say it is important to remember its limitations. >> it is a snapshot of a single night. it does not capture a lot of people who expense homelessness for short time but do not have to be on the streets. reporter: experts say access to affordable housing remains the biggest obstacle to overcoming homelessness in san francisco. the city has not built enough. >> san francisco have the slowest approval process of any city. make it extremely difficult to build housing and expensive. reporter: until that changes,

6:13 am
months. most after six months. but after that point, there is more variability. reporter: during the study, people who were unaware of the natural immunity had not gotten tested for covid. the findings highlight the importance of testing and not just checking for symptoms. >> it means screening people based on symptoms alone is insufficient for preventing transmission in high-risk settings like hospitals, clinics, nursing homes. you cannot just ask someone if they have any cold or flu symptoms or a fever because half of people could still be infectious. reporter: why is it some people develop symptoms and others don't? >> probably, as with all things, it is a combination of genetics, pre-pandemic exposures. reggie: that was luz pena reporting. a driver escapes from his semi
