[ coughing ]. >> reporter: that's the sound that at least 17 families have been hearing at home in santa clara county. we have interviewed a doctor with the santa clara county

health office before about pertussis and whooping cough. we learned it's normal to see a spike in cases though children are vaccinated starting in infancy. >> whooping cough or pertussis cycles every few years. we expect every few years there will be an increase in cases of pertuss pertussis. >> babies and children are vaccinated several times starting in infancy. but the dtap vaccine wears off. you need to ask your doctor about a booster, particularly after the age of 7. infants are particularly vulnerable because they're not fully immunized yesterday. pregnant woman are also vulnerable. watch for a cold with that barky little cough. and if your kids have that, call your doctor and don't send them to school for at least five days or until they've completed a five-day course of antibiotics. 2016 is the first year in which there has been no exemption for

vaccines, so everybody should be vaccinated at this point. we will remind you to remind your kids to cover their cough, like a vampire when they cough and make sure that washl their hands while they're at school so they don't pig up this bug or any other one. >> thank you very much, kris. 5:36 on your friday. a sigh of relief at san jose state after six cases of sexual assault there. police have made an arrest. police arrested this man and say he may be responsible for other unreported cases. investigators say they also have a lead on at least one other suspe suspect. the string of women groped on campus has some students keeping pepper spray close at hand and staying extra vigilant. >> i'm always cautious because of this area anyway. it's definitely keeping me more on edge. >> all the women here should definitely carry pepper spray just in case. >> the school plans to take several steps in the coming months to make the san jose state campus safer. that includes installing 24 more

businesses and the city itself apply for state money to help with the losses and recovery of fort. 36 people died in this fire. the burn site is a memorial where family and friends of those lost come to pay their respects. >> he was just wonderful. he was fun to be with, a very positive person. >> a one-of-a-kind talent. i pray and i hope that we can look at safety for our other arti artists. >> reporter: the city of oakland has received a lot of criticism for what it did not do prior to the fire. nbc bay area was the first to report that the fire department had not inspected the warehouse in ten years, no inspections by code enforcement for 30 years. live in oakland, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much. from the south bay to san francisco, some people say their tap water smells more like swamp water. there is a fix in the works.

that smelly issue with the tap water happens to be related to the rain. the public utilities commission says it was making room for rain water at the san antonio reservoir so it started adding water from there to the delivery decision on november 28th. that change delivered a flow of complaints from customers from san francisco all the way south to sunnyvale. testing reveals the cause is a naturally occurring bye product of blue-green allergy. the utility system says it will take time for the compound to be flushed out and expects the water to be back tasting normally in about a week. this is a pretty unpleasant site in san mateo. a big rig spilled chicken guts onto southbound 101 in san mateo. it happened near kehoe avenue just before the evening commute. three lanes were closed down for about an hour. apparently it sloshed out of the open trailer. sore rirks i know you're trying to eat breakfast. no word on where the big rig was
