several days. >> okay. stay tuned for that, vianey. thanks so much. >> many parents, students, and teachers in the bay area are waking up to encouraging news from the cdc, which yesterday issued now guidelines for reopening schools. but the hurdle remains it's not a mandate, just a tool for how to safely get everyone back into the classroom. "today in the bay"'s cheryl hurd explains. >> reporter: i am looking forward to her going back to school, because i know she loves school and she loves her friends. but, you know, at the same time, not holding my breath. >> she says her 7-year-old is adapting to distance learning. but after almost a year of computer learning, it's time to go back into the classroom. >> as long as it's safe for everybody, everybody feels safe and, you know, yeah. it's best for the kids to be around other kids if that's safe for them and the teachers and the staff. >> reporter: tonight the cdc is

warning that neighborhoods in most public school districts nationwide still have high covid-19 infection rates. so it issued five recommendations for when schools are considered safe enough to reopen. they include mandatory mask wearing, physical distancing, hand washing, cleaning and sanitizing classrooms, and specific contact tracing protocols. >> if we want our children to receive in-person instruction, we must ensure teachers and school staff are healthy and protected from getting covid-19. >> reporter: school districts around the bay area have spent thousands of dollars getting schools ready for reopening. some contra costa county schools have started the process. oakland and berkeley unified have not. some teachers in those districts are refusing to go back because of high infection rates in poor communities. >> there's nothing about vaccinations in there. and so until not only every

teacher and school support staff and all the adults can be vaccinated should schools reopen. but also really the students need to be vaccinated. >> reporter: other teachers say guidelines are fine, but it's important for people to follow the rules. >> and we can have things in writing and we can have guidelines. but it truly is the actions of making sure that we are implying to all the guidelines to all our students are safe. >> reporter: cheryl hurd, nbc bay area news. now, to changes to the local vaccine rollout. the state is adding millions of californians to the vaccination. beginning in march, anybody 16 to 65 with high-risk disabilities will be able to get the shot. serious health conditions including cancer, down syndrome, or weakened immune system from organ transplant. also certain type 2 diabetes and

pregnancy. this new guidance will also allow people with developmental or severe disabilities to get their vaccinations as well. now, to the first known covid-19 death in the u.s. one year ago, patricia dowd of san jose lost her lifetime and it was only later that medical experts determined she had coronavirus. for the first time, her daughter is publicly sharing the pain of losing her mother and the toll the pandemic has taken on their family. "today in the bay" ian cole has this story you will see only on nbc bay area. >> reporter: kayla dowd has spent the past year in mourning and sat down to talk about her mom patricia, the first confirmed covid-19 death in the u.s. >> she was my best friend. we did a lot of things together. i went to her for everything. just like all my problems, if i needed a hug. she gave the best hugs. >> reporter: kaila is her only

daughter. patricia, who went by trish, started feeling ill the day before last year's super bowl. >> she did get sick. she complained about body aches. but that was it. >> reporter: days later, february 6th, while working at home alone, she collapsed and died. >> i came home and i found her. that was -- it was so hard because i saw her on the floor. and at first i just grabbed my phone and i called 911. >> i just couldn't believe it. it was like it was not real for a really long time. >> reporter: the coroner said it was a heart attack. but they asked for an autopsy, stunned that that's what would take this 57-year-old woman they described as fit, healthy and fiery. after tests in mid-april, the

county told the family she died of covid-19 complications. they still don't know how she got it. >> they said that she was the first person. i said i don't think she was. i think someone had it before her. this can't be happening to my family. >> reporter: can you describe what it was like seeing the nation, many people going into lockdown, the masks and the social distancing, many people taking it seriously, but then also many people not taking it seriously enough. >> it is frustrating, you know. and people who don't even believe it, who think it's a hoax. that's what really angered me the most. because i'm like i know what it's like. i --. >> lived through it. >> yeah. >> reporter: president-elect biden laid out his plans on how he was going to fight the pandemic. in the first minute, he talks about your mother. >> on february 6th in 2020, patricia dowd took her last breath at home under the

california sun. >> what did it mean to you when you heard that? >> the second i heard him say her name, i just burst into tears. it's just -- it was just amazing that he took the time to even say her name. so it meant a lot to me. and i want to write a letter to him -- or i already have. i have to send it. but it was amazing. >> reporter: on the anniversary of her death, family and friends held a small socially distanced ceremony at a beach. when you look around her home, it's as if trish dowd knew she needed to bottle up her life's memory. she had acrapbook fro every moment. a life well lived. like hundreds of thousands that have and will follow cut short >> that's what i just loved about her, she was just always positive and just always happy and laughing. >> in the south bay, ian cole,

nbc bay area news. turning now to the second impeachment trial of former president donald trump closing arguments begin today. the former president's lawyers offered a short presentation using only two hours and 39 minutes of their allotted 16 hours. lawyers played a video montage of democrats using the word "fight" in different speeches or rallies the past two decades. they argued trump's rhetoric was no different. senators could vote on conviction as soon as today. here at home, demonstrators with impeach trump bay area will hold their own rally at 10:00 a.m. in san francisco outside a trump-owned building on california street near st. mary's square. stay with nbc bay area for live coverage of the trial. nbc news will air a special report when today's hearing begins. we will stream it on our nbc bay area app. it is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. at 7:09, we have much more

welcome back at 7:12 on your saturday morning. wet pavement and fog as we take a live look outside at the golden gate bridge. dark and dreary for a lot of the bay area right now. vianey arana says we'll have a partially clear afternoon. 50s and 60s before a return of the rain this week. she will be around in five minutes with your full microclimate forecast. as millions more vaccines are being distributed across the country, we are simultaneously seeing a rise in questions surrounding when and where to get the vaccine. so our marcus washington brings us new information on a new website to help navigate this

confusing process. >> reporter: finding out who is able to get the vaccine is still a tough task for a lot of people. it won't determine who will get the vaccine, but when it is your turn, it will make the process easier. comcast nbc universal. the site planyourvaccine.com, which launched this week, is being called a one-stop shop.wi and information tha will determine when you will be eligible to get the vaccine. >> it will lead you to where you can go, what sites you can go to. and it will keep those updated, which is even more important. instead of you having to constantly go back, it will notify you when changes are being made. if it's easier for you, you are more likely to get the vaccine. >> reporter: dr. torres says this is a great way to get the vaccine to people, which is a step towards vaccinating more people.

and another great tool about this website, you live here in california but you have loved ones in another state and you want to monitor when they will be eligible and track the information if things change. you can do that in this website. if and when their availability is up, then you can let them know and make sure they get their safely. all around a great tool. back to you. >> thank you, marcus. 7:14. we have much more ahead on "today in the bay" coming up. 24 hours left to get your gifts. next a look at the busy day for bay area businesses ahead of valentine's day tomorrow. cool and cloudy to start. but i've got a closer look at the rain and what to expect on valentine's day. full forecast coming up. stay with us.

welcome back at 7:16. a live look outside. rain falling on our storm ranger. vianey arana will have your full microclimate forecast in the

clearing of this rain in just a minute. but first the pandemic has impacted everything. and now the cost of your valentine's day. vendors say the price of flowers has doubled because of limited supply and the high cost of shipping. some flowers will cost $1.50 more per stem. that is not stopping customers at the san francisco flower mart yesterday. this valentine's day will still be one of the biggest day of the year for them, second to mother's day. go with daisies or carnations instead of popular roses. people are expected to spend $21 billion this year on valentine's gifts. men will double the spending of women. time to check in with vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast.

do we have to snuggle inside? >> you can go outside if you're properly addressed. 54 in walnut creek. cloudy conditions. and you saw storm ranger getting shower activity. here's the reason why. 54 in san francisco. storm ranger sits on top of san bruno mountain. rain activity to our north. mendocino county, ukiah area. light showers expected through there. and you will see the chance diminish by afternoon. look at your microclimate highs for today. temperatures in the 60s. and upper 50s. let's take a look at the hour-by-hour forecast. san jose, los gatos, santa cruz, morgan hill area will get light to moderate rain. it will be light in terms of rain totals, just enough to where you might notice depending where you are. the south bay tends to fall in that rain shadow. look ahead to what we will see.

breezy to windy conditions, especially around the coastline or you live in a higher elevation area like the mountains, it will get gustier once the front passes through. this is pushing the timeline forward. a low pressure system will move north to south. heading into sunday. so if you had plans to go out, which i do hope you go out and support local for sure. wear a nice coat. it will be light to moderate, much like what we are seeing today. into monday, the rain will start to move out. let's take a look at the wind gusts. notice san francisco, 26-mile-per-hour winds. oakland, 22. san jose, 16 to 20-mile-per-hour winds expected into this afternoon. the winds will taper off later tonight. and overall, a breezy to windy snow -- not snow day, rainy day into sunday. but we will see sierra snow in the lake tahoe area. this is heading into monday. a couple inches of snow up through the air.

if you had plans to travel, please be safe. always check the road conditions. you just never know what areas might be closed off or not. long range outlook shows the second system passing through tomorrow into monday. and just looking way out ahead into the middle of next week, it looks like we do have another approaching system. so we still have about three more chances of seeing rain here on the seven-day forecast. let's take a look at that. valentine's day, cloudy depending on where you are. the timing of the rain is sort of going to go from light to moderate at times. and then it will diminish monday evening. a break from the rain tuesday and wednesday. more rain heading into thursday and friday for san francisco and the inland areas. you'll notice the wind more today especially around the coastline. all right. our climate in crisis coverage continues. we're looking at how it is affecting areas in the bay area. i took on climate hacks, planet-friendly swaps. here's one to help you clean up the mess around your house. check this out.

>> well, things happen sometimes. and when life gets messy, a lot of us probably reach for a pack of these. paper towels to clean up the mess. here's the problem. the paperless project says it takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper towels. here in the u.s., we use more than 6,000 tons of paper towels each year. it's time for your climate hack. we have to save the trees. i found these super absorbent at the store zero in san jose. oh, did i mention they have super adorable designs? of course i opted for the doggie print one. you can also use a microfiber towel that can be washed and reused over and over again much like these two. so how does this help our planet?

the paperless project says if every household switched a single roll of 70 sheets to reusable, we could save 544,000 trees a year. not only would we save trees, we would keep an extra 120,000 tons of trash in the landfills. for more info follow me at nbc vianey arana and nbcbayarea.com/climateincrisis. >> had i love the cute dog prints. i have some of the reusable towels from trader joe's. and this is not an ad. i use those. i still sometimes catch myself reaching for paper towels for my sons to clean up their messes. it's like a muscle, a skill you have to build. >> got to save the trees. . >> save those trees. thanks, vianey. still ahead on "today in the bay", happy lunar new year. what is behind the renewed optimism, next.

vaccinated should schools reopen, but also really the students need to be vaccinated. >> some contra costa county districts have already started the reopening process. and this new map from governor newsom's office shows which are reopening. the areas in dark blue are elementary districts that resumed in-person learning. yellow is all distance learning. and the light blue is a hybrid of the two. one district that has reopened for in-person learning is shoreline unified in marin county. palo alto unified is doing hybrid learning. like most of the pay area, san francisco unified remains at 100% distance learning. it was just over one year ago that san jose's patricia dowd died of covid-19. she was the first confirmed coronavirus death in the nation. for the first time, her daughter shares publicly the pain of losing her mom and the toll the pandemic has taken on their family. patricia's family, she went by

welcome back at 7:49 on your saturday morning. wow. a glimpse of the sun shining over the richmond-san rafael bridge. thanks to our director aaron for spotting it. nice way to start the day. this morning we want to examine a struggle that often

gets left in the shadow, the struggle of growing up as a multiracial american. this is the story of jeremy vasquez who describes himself as afri-latino, one you rarely hear but one that can help others love who they are. >> i woke up to 76 decibels. i have slept through the earthquakes. >> i am afro-latino born in the bay area. >> more hurricanes and household appliance. >> i began writing poetry. it opened up doors for me. i remember my first poem was about my father who was in and out of jail and as a youth trying to battle with a lot of things that i couldn't understand. i found poetry as a medium. >> high winds sucking me out of any deep sleep. growing up hispanic consists of

two things, loud music and scores. >> the issues i face trd hair, my family, the industrial system, writing about deeper issues such as immigration, what's happening in our country. and i found myself becoming a voice for those who don't have one. >> from the carpet to the hard floor without missing a beat. you can see the rhythm in the bones. >> i found myself speaking for those i haven't met before. and now i found myself telling stories that every black and brown youth can identify with. >> if she has lost a step being the backbone of america's workforce. >> my great, great grandparents were slaves. they were owned. i look at the experiences of my abuela, who when she went into the store after migrating here, who was told you can't shop

here. black people from to order from the back of the restaurant that. stuck with her. that's her story. >> so children can get a masters in social work, it ain't so social to work because she has more toilets to get squeaky clean. >> when i think about being afri-latino, i think about the two worlds being black and brown. >> our people are going to work far less until their body give out like lawn chairs. >> buying houses getting loans. this country is enwrenched in racism. >> first they called us lazy. then they called for favors. pity the fool who comes here

and. >> racism didn't die one day. racism is buried in the bones of our country. racism is like the water. the sharks, those are just people. >> now they are down on their luck. >> we exist in a world where there is diversity. the real world is not one demographic. it's not one orientation. we are an accumulation of so much. >> americans give thanks to jesus. i wonder who say grasseo. the migrant risked their life. >> those that are question if you're latino enough, those that question if you're black enough, i know who i am. and i know where i come from. when you know your history, there's something very powerful

about yielding this weapon such as afri-latino. >> almost as if she understands the dialogue of every migrant who keeps the household running. taken aback while barely taking a breath to keep the world spinning. until it came to a stop.
