masses. >> just like with the covid vaccine, it's not enough to bring the supply to those who need it. it matters who is providing the shot and if there is community trust. >> once we do have a generous supply of vaccine available in the region that we're doing so through an equity lens, that prioriti prioritizes communities that have traditionally not had the same access and opportunity to the health care space. >> reporter: other nonprofits shared those concerns earlier in the week calling for enough doses to be set aside for the under served. on tuesday and wednesday, people stood in line for hours just at the chance to get the monkeypox vaccine in both san francisco and berkeley. i'm really lucky that i work a job that has flexible hours and that i can stand in line in the middle of a workday for three hours. >> i was privileged that, you know, i was able to have a flexible work schedule, that i was able to, like, work with an internet connection on my laptop while waiting 6 1/2 hours. >> reporter: jackson says smaller nonprofits like aids project of the east bay with its

mobile clinic will be one way the vaccine reaches those most in need. this work is literally like me being the person that i needed two other people. >> reporter: reporting in oakland, shawn chitnis, kpix 5. a live look at san francisco now where tomorrow the san francisco aids foundation will be holding a monkeypox vaccine event. they'll be able to give out 500 doses of the vaccine, but the wait list has more than 2,000 people. now on to developing news, we're taking a live look at sfo, we are learning police have made an arrest in connection with last night's bomb threat at the airport. now, police say the suspect is a 53-year-old man. he has been booked and taken to the san mateo county jail. hundreds of travelers were evacuated from the international terminal at sfo after a bomb threat led police to a suspicious package last night. the b.a.r.t. station, and air train were temporarily shut

down. the airport is back running and is now on a normal schedule. mountain view police officer is recovering after being shot early this morning. police say the officer stopped a car at via street and wild cherry lane after midnight. that's when somebody from inside the car shot the officer before driving off. police say the suspect crashed the car a few blocks down, and then ran away. >> it's tough to see a colleague go through something like that, and even more so knowing that he got up last night to work an overtime shift, something he didn't necessarily have to do. >> reporter: the officer was taken to the hospital. he's expected to be okay. police are still searching for the suspect. and turning now to our coronavirus coverage. covid-19 hospitalizations, deaths and daily case rates are the highest they've been in months. the cdc says more than half of americans live in counties with a high covid-19 community level. and here in the bay area, b.a.r.t. is scheduled to lift

its mask mandate on monday. in april, california lifted the statewide indoor mask mandate, but b.a.r.t. continued to require them on the trains. the b.a.r.t. board would have to approve an extension for the mandate to go back into effect. now, here are the latest numbers from california health officials, you see the numbers climb in the last 90 days. the test positivity rate now close to 17%. and that is up another percentage point over last week. the pandemic has had a big effect on students and teachers as you know. john ramos stopped by a school district's job fair as they tried to rebuild their work force from the ground up. >> the great resignation has hit school districts hard as thousands of people have left education to pursue other interests, and here in west contra costa they're scramble to go fill the void. >> in the west cocoa school district alone, more than 200 teach teachers and staff members are gone as a result of the

pandemic. some forced out by economics, others lured away by new possibilities. >> i think it's just an opportunity for people just to realize they can just do other things and people are just making different choices, i guess. >> reporter: at this job fair in rich richmond, it was more of a trickle than a flood, but administrators are finding that most of the new applicants have never worked in the schools before. >> they are coming from different fields. they're not coming from different districts. they're coming from different vocations and they want to come into education, so we're excited about that. >> reporter: that's the case for mary vargas, a wedding and event planner who feels drawn to teaching by the importance of the job. >> i have school-aged children, and it's so important, the role of being a teacher, and i think it's encouraged me that i would be a good fit for it, and there's definitely a need there. and i want to help, kind of the next generation of kids. >> reporter: carina sautiga has a more prapractical ambition.

she's trying to find a school office job close to home. >> i'm a young mom, and i would like to have time to keep an eye on my child. i don't want to miss those opportunities basically. >> reporter: and something close to home would do that for you. >> it would work for us, me and my husband. >> reporter: for lance winston, it's about returning home. he wants to become a coach and maybe teach history or social studies at one of the schools he attended, and he knows what he's looking for in the classroom. >> someone like me. i struggled in reading and writing, and there are teachers here that took a very specific interest in me. now you want to go back home to where you came from, and now you want to give all the experience back to the younger generation. >> reporter: that's music to the ears of dr. sylvia greenwood who heads up the district's certificated teachers. it means a lot when former

students return to take their place. >> when i see my own students or principals and administrators see their kids want to come back and teach at the schools they graduated from, there's a great sense of fulfillment here when we have that happen. that's my hope, people will want to come back and see there's a great need and need to support the children. >> reporter: in richmond, john ramos, kpix 5. the number of americans applying for unemployment benefits last week hit its highest level in nearly eight months. while applications were up, the total number of people collecting benefits fell. the unemployment rate is holding steady at 3.6%, though the labor market is still strong, some big name companies have recently announced layoffs, and they include tesla, netflix, carvana, red fin and coin base. if you are looking for a job, the oakland postal service is hiring. they held a job fair at the civic center post office, and they are looking to fill post office positions at multiple

. kind of a bouncy little tone. did you know it's california craft beer week. >> i did not know. >> now you do. >> yeah. >> brewers all over the bay area are showing off their absolute best bruews. >> yeah, but across the industry right now, it's not just beer that are precious cargo. the cans are as well. kpix 5's max darrow on how the aluminum can shortage is actually changing the way craft breweries have to do business. >> reporter: at s 27 ales in san jose, the founders take a lot of pride in their craft. >> this is probably one of our if not our best seller. >> reporter: lucas says one of the more complex parts of the craft is getting their hans on aluminum cans. >> cans have been the biggest

problems for us. >> reporter: dealers are dealing with a can shortage, created by manufacturing show downs and increased demand on the aluminum supply chain. according to the aluminum association, domestic demand for aluminum was up more than 5% for the first quarter of the year. >> the demand for cans i think skyrocketed to a point that it out stripped the supply. >> reporter: before the aluminum can shortage, they used to be able to order big pallets of cans like this one behind me whenever they needed one. now they have to wait for they supplier to alert them that cans are available, and they're paying more per pallet as well. >> when it comes to aluminum cans, everybody expects to get paid right up front. when we order aluminum cans, 5, 7, $10,000 that has to be spent because the cans are available in that moment. we're putting out huge amounts of money to have those cans in the building waiting. >> reporter: he says the san jose craft brewing community is tight knit and has worked together to weather the challenges of the can shortage.

>> in the community, it became very common, everybody, i have a need, a half pallet, one pound of cans, do you have any incoming, can i borrow those. people do share resources and ingredients as necessary. >> reporter: but shiminofsky, doesn't think the craft brewer can challenge will come to an end anytime soon. >> realistically thinking, this will be an issue another year two years. >> reporter: in san jose, max darrow, kpix 5. the tunnel tops park in san francisco's presidio will open tomorrow. officials were on hand for a ribbon cutting. they started planning in fw2014. it includes 14 acres of parks and trails and picnic areas, and of course new and stunning views of the golden gate bridge. >> absolutely. first alert meteorologist darren peck is joining us now with the latest on some fires, especially the marsh fire in the pittsburg area right now. >> another water front story

that's maybe not as pleasant as that one. but the smoke that's going through that part of contra costa county has been a problem, and just take a look at the live picture. that is live. this is from our camera that sits on mount diablo, looking out past pittsburg. you can see the old power plant there. you can see the smoke still coming off of the marsh fire, and we recorded a time lapse of this from the morning. it's just been going like that all day. it did get a little better in the afternoon. it started to pick up within the last few hours. and if we look at the air quality sensors out here again, most of us are doing great, fearing green, air quality is good. but a close inspection of those areas that are downwind of that persistent marsh fire, you start to see the reds and the oranges where we start getting into unhealthy levels here. if you can smell smoke, you don't want to be out in it. you can see a pattern here, it keeps spiking in the mornings, all the way back to july 10th, this is specifically for antioch, the higher you get into

the red, or look at this, last thursday morning, for a time, two hours, it was in the hazardous level. this is the kind of stuff you don't want to be out breathing more than you need to. con fire working on this. look at what they did today, they actually flooded part of that marsh, and this was part of their tactic to get water on that fire because it's incredibly difficult to reach it. they have not given up on this. it's going to take a while to get it out. today they started a new tactic, and they're confident this is going to help. so just hang in there. and go easy on your lungs for that part of contra costa county over the next few days, and likely going to see that cycle continue the next few days. the other item in the first alert forecast, we had a big warm up today. livermore, you were 15 degrees warmer than yesterday. san jose, 10 degrees warmer. 8 degrees warmer in oakland and we made it to 100 today. as dramatic as the jump was from yesterday to today, tomorrow we're going to start scaling that back down. we'll get you back down into the

low 90s tomorrow. it's still mid-90s in concord. it's 94. livermore is 90. and when we look at the big picture here, that pattern is going to start working in our favor to start bringing these temperatures back down, and moving them in the right direction. tomorrow morning, lows in the mid-and upper 50s. daytime highs tomorrow, while still hot, still 90s over here, but at least we're pulling you back down away from the hundreds. east bay shore will be mid- to upper 70s. we'll be around 80 for the peninsula. redwood city, san mateo, 78, and it's still low to mid 90s in the north bay, and tomorrow's drop is just the start. when you look across the rest of the seven-day forecast, we keep it there. san jose, back to the mid-80s tomorrow, and then you stay there, you'll even go into the low 80s as we get into the middle and late part of next week, and when we look at our micro climates, it's even a better story. we're going to go from 100 today. low 90s tomorrow, and we'll keep it going into the mid-80s from there for much of the rest of next week.

so better temperatures and hopefully better air quality for the inland locations in contra costa county. charlie, over to you. >> thank you, darren. next in sports, the leader heading into the open championship is now the co-leader, entering the final 18. plus, alex cobb of the giants dealing today for san francisco. we had another late game thriller with the brewers. could the

errory mcilroy was the oddsn favorite, to enter this tournament. 54 years laeter, he's the coleader, cam smith owned a two-shot lead, ended it four back. a shot of the day nomination, belongs to shane lowry on hole 9. the first of back-to-back eagles, look at this from shane. he won the open back in 2019, currently tied for 13th at 7

under. viktor hovland had the putter working early for a birdie on hole 4, perfect read of the green. that's part of four straight birdies for hovland. he shot a 66. had him at 16 under. another shot of the day nomination. rory mcilroy on 10. out of the bunker and in for an eagle. we'll take it. he matched hovland with a 66, and those are your coleaders, mcilroy, hovland, with 18 holes remaining. rory is trying to win the claret jug for the first time since 2014. hovland will be teeing it up for his first major win ever. here's who else is in the hunt. two cams sit behind at four strokes, back at 12 under, and then masters winner, sco. giants fans were filling up their tanks for $0.39 a gallon, yeah, it had been that long,

mike changed that. alex cobb on the mound, and he was dealing. 4th inning, no score. talez up, swing and a miss, 6th inning, cobb, aseven innings, oe run, five strike out baseball. his longest outing of the season, and could we get him a run, sure, darin ruf, 9th of the season, second in consecutive days. last night's hero, come up to the plate with the bases loaded and yan dell gustavo, the run would come in. that is how san francisco gets the deciding tally. they win it 2-1. they've won 6 of 8 to move within a game of the last wild card spot. and if you see fans dressed as astronauts, it usually means the a's are in houston facing the astros, second inning,

martin maldonado, grand slam, off jared with the bases loaded. that was his only mistake of the game. he went seven solid innings but couldn't get any run support. that was because justin verlander dominated today. third inning, verlander, sean murphy, swing and a miss, next inning, verlander, paints the corner and gets sky bolt looking. 6th inning, verlander, elvis andrus, no. verlander was vintage today. he had tone strike outs as the a's lose 5-0. oakland shut out for the 10th time this season. the san jose quakes have two wins and a draw during the last three matches. bengie kakanovich has been playing the best soccer of the year. >> just living the dream. >> earthquakes forward is
