zuckerberg general hospital doing all it can to accommodate but people who don't have an appointment arriving extra early is the only way you can assure you're going to get in. >> i didn't mind getting up early. glad i got a spot. >> we do about 2,000 vaccinations at zsfg each day. >> over the weekend lines got so long, hundreds of people had to be turned away. the walk-ups are allowed until 3:00 p.m. but the number of people getting the vaccine will dependen the day's supply. a live look in los angeles, where anyone over 16 is now eligible to receive a vaccination. like alameda county, l.a. county went ahead with broadening its eligibility. the entire state moves to over 16 this thursday, and l.a. county is battling supply issues with johnson & johnson reducing shipments due to recent production errors. california getting closer to half of all residents with at least one shot of the covid-19 vac seen. that is now nearing 23 million vaccinations.

that number, the fourth tuesday there. now let's look at the following year for 2021, a year later as things recover, the first tuesday this year is 111,000, so we're getting really close to the range that we were last year, and the fourth tuesday holding steady, so these numbers have come up into the same ranges last year, after about 60% to 70% drop for much of 2020, with more emissions, kari, that's got to affect the climate and the air quality. how is that going? >> yes, mike, back in may, when the air quality tracker showed good air quality, traffic was way down, but then the smog levels started climbing back up more and more, more cars were hitting the road and so much of the bay area and the state has been dealing with unusual and record-breaking heat waves as well as that unprecedented influence from the recent wildfires. all of this causing some of the worst air quality in a decade,

and according to air quality index, there was a stretch of clean air in march and april of last year, but as we moved into warmer months, and more economic activity, the numbers jumped into the unhealthy category. both of these graphics from the napa valley area and the south bay, cars, heavyduty trucks and diesel powered equipment have a far greater pollution admission, so the bottom line is, how we start to commute to work as we return to the office will continue to have a big impact. also the transition to cleaner technology for ships and trucks will also play a very key role. be sure to check out our entire climate in crisis series, on nbcbayarea.com. laura and marcus? >> pretty amazing, all the things we learned. thanks so much. 4:40. the federal government looking for some people to find closure after the death of a family member. still ahead on "today in the

a cooldown, as a low passes to our north, but then as it moves right overhead for the weekend, temperatures come up a few more degrees and at times we are going to see some gusty winds. we take a look at our drought monitor and we've really pretty much erased all of the progress that we made with a couple of the storms we had earlier this water year, this year, and so we're along the central coast, we were abnormally dry. we are now starting to see some severe drought conditions developing there, but we also have some extreme drought for parts of the north bay. no changes since basically the beginning of the year, so it's still very dry, and now we're seeing those rainfall deficits especially for parts of the north bay, approaching over 20 inches of rain. so there's pretty much no chance that we could make this up. looking at those rainfall deficits, over eight inches and i talked about on my social media pages, facebook and twitter, i retweeted cal fire and this webinar that they're

101 but a disabled vehicle on 880 near 92 so we'll track that now. laura, back to you. >> thank you, very much. sadly, so many families have lost loved ones due to coronavirus but pain immeasurable and also unexpected burial costs and now help from the central government. starting today, families who have suffered a loss due to covid-19 can apply for reimbursements up to $9,000 for burial costs. the money will come through fema. there's no citizenship requirement for eligibility, but you do need to provide several documents, a death certificate and receipts. you can find more information on fema's website. new details, one-time movie mogul harvey weinstein expected to be at a new york state court virtually today. the convicted rapist will appear before an erie county court judge for an extradition hearing. weinstein is being sought by prosecutors in california for
