>> as you said, the dominant strain taking over the omicron ba.5. it has been making a lot of people sick but not sick enough to go to the hospital but the trend does seem to be changing. right now in california more than 4400 people are in hospitals compared with fewer than 1003 months ago and a far cry from the winter surge of 15,000 hospitalizations last winter and 20,000 during the first covid winter. if you are like me, you know number of people with covid who are recuperating or who recuperated at home feeling like they had a really bad cold but chances are those folks who could do that were fully vaccinated and double boosted, people ending up in the hospital are largely unvaccinated or they are not fully boosted. according to the department of public health people who are not fully vaccinated are almost 10 times more likely to be

hospitalized so you might be saying wait, you have been reporting omicron sub variant ba.5 does not respond to the vaccine and can cause reinfection so why do boosters matter? if you have a moment to listen he explains why. >> that is because even though the front guards and the antibodies do not recognize ba.5 so well, the inside immune cells that have worked so hard and you have reminded the immune system about the virus. that will kick the enemy out of the body. >> just last week the cdc forecasting hospitalizations nationwide would quadruple by the first week of august and a lot of folks have been moving around the country during the summer so there is time to get fully vaccinated and boosted before then if you want to

middle 90s but despite that they are getting the upper hand which is great news so into today from upper 60s in the area to 96 degrees with humidity dropping as well with breezy wind. thankfully we have not seen any strong wind with the air blowing out of the bay area air quality has been good. looking outside in dublin waking up to a beautiful sunrise with a few high clouds moving by and temperatures are in the lower 60s now which will gradually make it to the lower 80s by lunchtime, 80 degrees then and reaching 85 for the high. in oakland a high of 73 degrees and novato in the mid-80s, san francisco 64 and a high of 84 in san jose. more about what's to come into the weekend, more problems for bart. >> in addition to the track site a grass fire halting service between pleasant hill and concord and again there is

mutual aid. we have another issue with an equipment problem somewhere near the south hayward area so that will prevent a 20 minute delay to that area that suddenly popped up on that portion of the east bay bart line. to the roadways we are looking at the area track site fire in this stretch but not presenting an issue for the 680 nor do we hear about homes threatened we will track that but we have a new crash near walnut creek interchange opposite your commute out of lafayette over to walnut creek over to danville and then there is no real disturbance right now. your main commute is this way with no big slowing but highway 37 typical we should see the building here and the bay bridge and the metering lights turned on in the next five minutes but there is no big backup yet with no major problems. looking ahead for tonight, there will be one more of your westbound highway 24 caldecott

nobody. nobody has ever discovered kristin smart's body. >> the trial was moved to monterey county because of too much pretrial publicity. it is expected to last four months. we will be in the courtroom today updating you on the case during the 5:00 newscast. check your account in sunnyvale, a credit card skimmer found at a 7-eleven and we want to show you these photos. the skimmers are attached to the actual card readers that's where they can steal the car data and use it to take your money. petaluma police say they have located skimmers at three other 7-eleven stores. one on howard street, dunn street and perry lane, another device found at the bank of america on kentucky street. one way to spot a skimmer is at the card reader can be juggled. more indications that the governor and vice president
