medicine that you need. liz: as these viruses spread, especially among children, people are making a run for medication, and that is resulting in shortages in drugstores. doctors tell us if you can find something like children's tylenol, stock up on it. if you cannot, there are alternatives. as anyone who has driven from drugstore to drugstore the past few days can tell you, getting your hands on children's tylenol right now is nearly impossible. stop one here, a cvs. inside we found clued out shelves where the children's tylenol would usually be. just a few boxes of generic left. drugstore number two, same story. this was at a nearby right aid. and at a walgreens a few blocks away, the shelves were even more empty. >> it is now clear that we are seeing significant surges in all three of the seasonal respiratory viruses. liz: the shortage of

over-the-counter drugs for kids comes among the tripledemic of rsv, covid and the flu. the marin coun director said covid-19 cases and hospitalizations in the county have doubled in the past month. and for the fluid is even more dramatic. >> one in four people who are having flulike symptoms are infected with influenza, the highest we have ever seen. liz: that is why so many medications are now sold out for both adults and children. >> there's definitely a shortage in over the counter children's tylenol and pediatric formulations for ibuprofen, cold medicines. and we have been hearing this all over the country. liz: there parents cannot find children's tylenol or a similar generic brand. >> if you have any questions, talk to the pharmacist.

but there are other tricks people can use, like taking 200 milligrams or an adult form. depending on the size of the kid, mixing it, crushing it in chocolate milk. liz: another tip if a child has a low fever, use a cool towel or even a fan. >> these are minor interventions that do not require medicines if the fever is mild. liz: there is also a shortage of tamiflu for adults and children. tamiflu can lessen symptoms of the flu, but dr. hong says hospitals really need it for the most at risk patients, so even if you can find it right now, he recommends only getting it if you really need it. liz kreutz, abc 7 news. dan: cannot seem to get a break. covid, the flu, rsv. doctors say anything about an end in sight? liz: the doctor says rsv might be peeking but it will be around for the next few months. the silver lining for covid is

that even though cases are rising, people are not getting as sick as they were. the flu is the dark horse. that is likely to continue to spike. the best advice doctors have is get the bivalent vaccine and mask up. dan: good advice. ama: for the first time we are headed into the holidays in the pandemic without mask mandate's. will that change? dustin dorsey has santa clara county's message to the community. dustin: for the last two winters the holiday cheer was clouded for some because of the pandemic. but with no health mandates this year in some -- in santa clara county some are feeling better. >> i was worried about going out and spreading something. now i don't have any trouble. dustin: but somewhere the threat is still out there. >> we all just decided it is over but it is not really over so we are not taking the same precautions. it still makes me nervous. dustin: she's not ready to say

it is over. she even says the south bay is facing a problem we have not seen before. >> we not only have covid as we have had the last two winters what we have flu and rsv and other viruses circulating as well. it is a winter of viral soup. dustin: rsv cases are beginning to plateau and sarah client a -- county wastewater data shows some of the highest covid numbers of the year. >> you can see all of those lines are heading straight up. i want to know something else which is that two of those lines are actually higher than they were during the omicron peak. dustin: she says the viral surge is stretching the health department fan and she is calling on the community for help, like getting a covid booster and flu shot. she also recommends mastering in indoor crowded settings. is a mandate returning?

>> i don't see mandates returning. three years in it is extraordinarily difficult to mandate. i think we all have information and we all have tools and we all had access to the tools. all of us just need to do what we can and that includes getting boosted. dustin: she says that action now can meet a healthy holiday ahead. dustin dorsey, abc 7 news. ama: and we want a healthy holiday. parts of the bay area are expecting temperatures to drop below freezing tonight. dan: let's bring in sandhya patel for a look at where it will be the coldest. sandhya: the north bay valleys and the mountains is where we will see temperatures tumbling by morning. take a look at the numbers right now and consider this balmy compared to what is coming. numbers right now and 50's. a freeze warning for the north bay valleys and mountains tomorrow. subfreezing conditions expected. temperatures upper 20's to low 30's. so you know when you get frost and freeze you can see damage to

supervisors were close to passing policy that would allow the san francisco police department to use remote-controlled robots to kill. today they were banned. >> luz: the shocking move comes one week since supervisors questioned the assistant chief who said they could deploy robots equipped with explosives. >> we have it as a tool in the event that we do have time that we don't have to go in and stop the threat immediately. we have secured the scene and we weigh, do we want to risk the lives of the public by getting ourselves exposed the suspect, or can we send in a robot to deal with it? luz: the vote comes after public outcry. the supervisor said she received hundreds of emails and calls from community members, thanking her for going against the initial robot policy. >> i believe when you put

distance between a human being making a judgment call to lethally harm another human being, that when you put a machine in between you and that person, it makes it easier to kill. luz: the board president supervisor said allowing the use of robots would go against police reform. >> if you send them into a school, which i would not want robots going in armed with bombs to go into my children's school or my grandchildren's school. it has tragedy written all over it. we need to make sure that we focus on desk -- on de-escalation and reform. luz: for 11 years sfpd has been equipped with 17 remote-controlled robots. the potential for using them to kill a suspect was challenged in light of california assembly bill 481, which governor newsom signed into law in september. it requires municipalities to create policy on how know their equipment is used. >> some limitations are better

than no limitations. but we have to ask do we want the san francisco police department to be able to use military grade weapons through a robot armed with a bomb to blow things up, and the answer to that is no. luz: luz pena, abc 7 news. ama: still to come, a father jailed for murder. now the death of his daughter. two families grieving. dan: next, a live update from atlanta. georgia decides the final u.s. senate seat, and

chris: 30 years ago today, bonds signed a then-record six-year $43.75 million deal to go to his hometown san francisco giants. the other team that made an offer, the new york yankees. seems like the perfect storyline for aaron judge to make his move back home to the bay. judge is coming off a record season, 62 home runs, earning al m.v.p. honors with the yankees, turning one of the best contract years in baseball history. the meetings are currently going on in san diego and the hot

stove is heating up with aaron judge news. many reports believe the giants and the yankees are the main suitors with the giants offering him a nine year deal worth $360 million. last week the yankees reported li offered him eight years for $309. when mlb network insider tweeted he was for sure going to the giants, he tweeted, not cool, because he walked back his news on judge, saying he may have jumped the gun. the giants have signed outfielder mitch jannik are you a three year, $43.5 million deal. the mountain view native is coming home. 112 career home runs. he did set career highs with 100 rpi during his 2021 campaign in seattle. 49ers quarterback jimmy garoppolo might not be out this season after all. espn reporting today doctors say

honored for his work on the court which included a fourth nba titles but more importantly it is his work off the court as well as supporting the howard golf program and the underrated basketball and golf tour. he really does it all. last night he was asked about a viral video from sports illustrated of him making full-court shots that made some believe he was making 90 footers with ease. >> i will let them be the judge of that, but it's an ultimate compliment to probably be amazed by it, but not think it is outlandish that it could be real. but we had some fun with it. the sports illustrated coming with some heat. i did make two of them, in case anyone was wondering. chris: when i was watching that originally i was like, oh, that is impossible. but the fact he is that good to even make you think for a little bit it was real.

he said he made two, but i believe steph curry can do anything. he made some behind his head today. he literally can make a shot from wherever. still fun. good editing. ama: coming up tonight, at 8:00, celebrity wheel of fortune followed by press your luck. at 10:00, the $100,000 pyramid. remember, abc 7 news is streaming 24/7. you can join us whenever you want wherever you are. that is it for us for now. thank you for joining us. dan: for all of us here, we appreciate your time and hope you have a great evening and we see you again at 11:00.
