as it peaked and then started to come down, people withdrew some of the intensity of the public healtheasures and it kind of stabilized at a very high level. that is very dangerous, particularly given the fact that we have these variants around. >> brennan: what is your guidance to those americans who have been lucky enough to get both vaccinations, two doses of the vaccine? can they still transmit the virus to others? >> doctor: theoretically, and probably in reality, yes. we don't know the exact incidence of that. but let me tell you the reason why we say that, and stipes it confuses people. the end point of efficacy of the vaccine is preventing clinically apparent disease. which means that you could get infected, have naso pharynx virus in your knows and mouth, but because you're vaccinated, you could feel perfectly well. the issue is now then can you transmit it to others? until we prove that is not the case, that's the reason we're recommending when people are vaccinated and are in the presence of unvaccinated people, to put a mask on to prevent them from infecting others. >> bren

in july, let alone the terrible peak we saw in the spring. we're still worse than we were at those other worse times, but at least the trend is finally in the right direction, and it looks like it could conceivably, hopefully be a sustained way. now look at the number of americans currently hospitalized with covid. that has been coming down too. look at how steep that decline is. that is very good news. although again, as with the case numbers, even as we see these hospitalization numbers lowering, these lowering numbers that we're celebrating right now are still today higher than the highest apex of hospitalizations in the terrible peak that we hit this summer. look at the death toll. the daily death toll is finally starting to drop now, too. although again, it is still worse than any previous peak in the epidemic. today, we lost more than 2300 americans to covid, which is still just an unimaginable number of americans to be dying each day. silver lining is that at least we can say at last that the numbers appear to be headed down. they appe

okay when it peaks, you see it peak in the dow but that doesn't produce a substantial decline. based onnis ihistory, williams thinks we'll see selling pressure again around april but that should pave the way for buying opportunity in july don't fret this is what i was talking about, pain, pain, pain there may be gain. i understand many people want to trade in and i'm not against it. there is another reason the dow average has to do with a different pattern. the one we mentioned before, the linkage with oil prices. it the leading indicator with the stock market based on the historical analysis, they tend to translate into three and a half years down the line check out this chart of the dow from 2010 through 2014 the red line is the price of oil pushed forward roughly three and a half years it uncandid how close it falls can you believe that you can see the same pattern from 2014 to 2018. if you think it's too crazy to be true, believe me, i get it. we know the oil market is tightly linked to the economy but that doesn't explain why the price controls the dow average in 2021 but

it peaked, as you said, on january 11th, and is coming down. i think it's too early to say that this decrease is due to a vaccine effect. we are seeing a decrease in the number of cases in long-term care facilities, and some of my colleagues are suggesting -- i underline the word suggesting -- that that may be a vaccine effect, and that may be good news, but it's still too early, rachel. >> and that would be because long-term care facilities, congregate facilities for elderly people have been responsible for such a disproportionate share of the hospitalizations and deaths, that if vaccination efforts have been able to concentrate on those areas first, a targeted effort for that population will have a disproportionate effect on reducing hospitalizations and deaths. >> it's where the vaccination effort also started. but again, let me be cautious. i'll be the first one to come on and tell you when i see that vaccine effect and we can be sure. i'm just saying it suggests. >> in terms of that johnson & johnson vaccine, again, i know you also won't w

the window open because i like the sound of it the last night it was too much for even me we had a peak wind gusts on mount saint yesterday at 78 miles per hour other mountains like mount tam in mount diablo also checked in with some really strong wind gusts and as you're waking up this morning, we're still in the midst of some pretty strong winds as well but here's the good news. we are starting to see conditions coming down now actually for the rest of the day today we're going to continue to see that downward progress of wind speed so yesterday was certainly the windiest one. >>from here on out we're looking at improvements in that regard keeping the good stuff around for a bit longer let's get you a look outside right now at our happy bay camera right here skies, beautiful unclear where again looking at a fog free start to the morning you can actually thanked those northeasterly winds for just that keeping any fog anything columbus to fog well away from the coastline fairfield right now you're windy. a spot areas like san francisco, half moon bay and san jose as well santa rosa also

rodriguez what's the timing of this storm over the next several hours well, it is going to start to peak justine between 4 o'clock through 5 o'clock tonight impacting your rush hour commute already having a huge impact with those slick roads ahead. >>in fact for those of you along the san francisco peninsula and most of the east bay we are tracking widespread light showers drive for those of you in the south bay with widespread rain making its way for those of you in the north bay in fact you've notice, those showers even through the early morning hours radar for though is picking up a plenty of showers still off the coast expected to make its way inland. so yes, this is the first of 3 storms but this is going to be the strongest of the 3 bringing a slight to moderate rain peaking in intensity by around 4 o'clock this afternoon even making its way into the east bay shoreline by 5 o'clock this evening. we will notice scattered showers throughout tonight and also some pretty heavy downpours right along conquered, and even the east bay shoreline at 7 o'clock tonight and for those of you in

our current rate is 15.5 per 100,000 people is roughly the same as our peak summer surge. and, remember, our goal is for an average of new cases to decline to less than 1.8 per 100,000. next slide, please. as you can see in this slide, our hospitalizations continue to decrease from their peak just a few weeks ago. and this is certainly good news. as our ability to properly treat those affected with covid-19 is a top priority. additionally, our hospital rate is a key indicator of both the state and local health indicators for reopening decisions. right now, with regard to intensive unit care beds, our capacity is good. with 28% i.c.u. capacity, which represents over 90 i.c.u. beds available across our health care systems in the city. next slide, please. the mayor provided a significant update on the vaccines, but i wanted to share this map on the work of the department of public health, and what we're doing to vaccinate populations in our most impacted communities. through the san francisco health network, the health department's health care delivery system, we served more

continues to see a decrease in covid cases since the peak on january 8. the number of new cases february 3 are approximately 121,000, representing a 61% decrease since the peak january 8 similarly, the number of new hospital admissions reported february 2, approximately 10,005 hundred, was down nearly 42% since the hospitalization peak of 18,000 reported january 5. on wednesday, i noted the pace appeared to be slowing and we anticipate that will start to decrease in coming weeks. early data suggest now we are starting to see the decrease, with the seven-day average of deaths declining 6.7% to slightly more than 3000 deaths per day from january 28 through february 3. while we are watching the data closely to see if this will be a confirmed trend, prior data suggest peaks usually trail somewhere between nine and 20 days. however, we may see variation in daily numbers for different reasons, including reporting delays. as such, we will know whether this trend becomes a stable downward slope in the next week. context is important, because cases, hospital admis

now, the case rate is down from its peak, but the virus is still in our community. so i just want to talk a little bit about what happened over the weekend. we know that in san francisco we were very excited we were in the purple tier, so as a result, we opened outdoor dining and a number of other amenities. and for the most part, there were a lot of people who were doing their part. and, unfortunately, there were some that weren't. the fact is, we are in a better place now based on what you all have been doing, especially over the holiday season. we are at a place where we were before thanksgiving last year. the last thing we want to do is go backwards. and so it is so important that we continue to do our part. i know you're tired of hearing it. i'm tired of saying it. but we're almost there. and the ability to access the vaccine we know is critical. we don't have control of the supply, but we do have control over the number of locations that we're able to open city wide, and i'm really proud of the efforts we put forward thus far. san francisco has a network of si

but that was a lot of wind last night is the window to we have a 78 mile per hour peak, wind gusts on mount saint helene up in northern napa county. >>60 mile per hour gusts were seen areas like mount diablo in mount tam and of course our bridges more exposed to the winds too so just like james said you do want to keep both hands on the wheel as you're driving into work, especially on bridges right look at our camera outside of suture tower shows you those crystal clear conditions winds certainly not as much of a problem as they were last night, but it is still windy for your morning commute. that's the biggest thing you've got to worry about we've seen wind advisories expiring for all but lake county they expired at 04:00am so just about an hour ago rest of the day will be breezy not near as windy as yesterday though that just as clear skies, nice and clear across the bay area and temperatures for most of us pretty mild 40's and 50's right across the east bay and peninsula. well nevado san anselmo petaluma and santa rosa being the notable exceptions in the 30's this morning. i've obv

growth hitting the peak at the end of the fiscal year. when looking at that we hit the deficit, unclosable deficit when we began the fiscal year. we needed to wait to see what was happening with federal relief. when we entered to the model this is what it showed by april or expenditures would out pace revenues. that is when we started the budget. you will see here if you want to go back and forth between month one and two. you will see the trend that we began to see. our expenditures were down. you will see in august, september that line dropped. that was the budget plan you had approved. controlling hiring, looking at expenditures, mission critical activities and reducing over time. we did see reduction in expenditures and you will see the result was that stretch out of cares fund from october to november. at the right it went down. we were starting to see the pattern we hoped to see the expense dip turreductions and the austerity measures we would see the decline in deficit and the revenues catch up. the plan all along. by fiscal month

and depth trail the peaks in cases by somewhere between nine and 20 days. however, we may see variation for different reasons including reporting delays. as such, we will know better if this trend becomes a stable downward slope over the next week. while the data are moving in the right direction, context is important. because cases, hospital admissions and deaths all remain high. and well above the level that's we saw in the summer and early fall. in order to keep these trends moving in the right trajectory, we must continue to wear masks, continue to social distance and avoid travel and crowds and get vaccinated when it is your turn. and i want to underscore the importance of mask wearing. today, cdc will be releasing two reports in the mmwr that describe the decline in covid-19 hospitalization growth rates when state wide mask mandates are in place. as well as a study detailing face mask use among college students on college campuses with mask mandates. finally, i want to highlight another dimension of the covid-19 pandemic on society, specifically on th

9 degrees in palo alto now high pressure mixed with this offshore flow that we're seeing it really peak today that is what's keeping us so well above seasonal averages and bringing these winds to us as well, but said the good news is ken and pam looks like things are going to start to weaken as we get into tomorrow and friday ok thank you. >>just in to kron 4 the san francisco board of education has reached an agreement with the teachers union on the health and safety of reopening city schools, a school district says an updated plan has also been discussed for in person learning. the health and safety standards agreement says if san francisco is in the red tier, then staff will be teaching in person must have the opportunity to be vaccinated if san francisco is in the orange tier staff will not need to be vaccinated to return students to in person, learning here are some additional health and safety standards included in the agreement covid screening will continue before anyone is allowed to enter school grounds and protocols are in place for monitoring some symptoms. cleaning and sanit

this is down from a peak of over 300,000 being reported on a daily basis which occurred in december and january. of last year and earlier this year. total almost 28 billion cases of sars cov-2 were reported inthe us so you can see from the curve on the right side of the supply we are moving in the right direction . with certainly a strong downward trend in the number of cases . however we have several not out of the woods yet and we need to continue our focus on mitigation measures and trying to stop the current outbreak. so as i get into talking about some of the portions were taking towards genomic and email to you i want to talk about how we're going about this in terms of key objectives in the project. this can broadly be grouped into three categories, personal using no epidemiology for situational awareness or prevalence. this would be to understand the prevalence and spread of variance and potentially use that for a broader public healthdecisions . i would mention for surveillance and situational awareness this does require widespread sampling of representative for sequencing. and

seeing them at the lowest level since early december down 40% from the peak so experts say that it is probably on the early side for the vaccinations to be driving a lot of this. they'll start to make a bigger difference and everybody is concerned about the variants out there. >> certainly seems to be i know you have been following the vaccine rollout here and other countries. israel really received a lot of praise can you tell us about the data >> yeah. what's great about the data from israel isn't just a successful rollout of the vaccine which they have but tharve doing a lot of data collection and so the world is looking to israel to see how these vaccines work in the real world there are two studies coming out today, one in the lancet and another by reuters to prevent transmission, not just to prevent cases of the disease and it seems like it appears to do that at pretty high rates, not yet peer reviewed studies but the indications are looking good and another study which was mentioned in the news update suggests there's 85% efficacy after one dose of the vaccine but that's only o

and capture to chase and capture of images but also to capture and spaces of mental ability at at peak times of distress for her as a young mother and as a young person. just completely profound and so the ways in which that sort of is on display in that documentary and some of the images that we now have an opportunity to look back on his account. i think there's something so strange about the way that we're looking for responsibility in this topic it's like we all want to find who we can blame for this and it's never ourselves so even in that question you know can you be pointed at me or involve men when we do we did it they were i mean we consumed that we like it it wanted more of it i mean you know about traditional media and prophecy and stuff like that i mean that would not be an ecosystem that was successful had we not consumed with they were producing so to act as if it's just her fault or it's just the at the outlets that are reporting on her this way it's not something that is many for the super complicated and later and we're all a party to where we are pretty then of course

then somehow that peak then descends into some kind of charges this is how lisa sums it up having this. the media helped to create britney spears and destroy her depictions allowed grown men to sexualized her and prompted young girls to want to be just like her her downfall was really treated like a reality show that we were all watching in real time and the media depictions of britney's how women that their social value was implicitly tied to their heidi more importantly once their sexual capital was no longer a commodity the world no longer had a use for them. when do you start in such a you pickup. i wow you know i. i think that that is just so so spot on in terms of the messages that women get about their use and usefulness and the messages that we craft and disseminate to young girls very very early and it's a very different type of messaging than we craft and set up and share with young boys about who they are what their bodies are and how their bodies are to be used with their 4 and so i can completely see that. i have a lot of thoughts about it however because the story about b

one guy is at the peak of his powers, patrick mahomes.om brady got here, but if you watch how he got here, he's not at the peak of his powers. he's on a team that has got a lot of talent, tremendous defense, great wide receivers. and he has played well in spots but he hasn't been the consistent tom brady. i just think against patrick mahomes, against tyreek kill, travis kelce, all the weapons, harden, and andy reid in that offense he has built, i just think it's going to be too much for tom brady. he is proving his point. he has more than the belichick, despite getting hit to the supe bowl, he has proven his point. if he wins, i've got a lot of respect for tom brady. if he wins i would be shocked. >> sean: i will be shocked at any result here. i really vote. i'm just not going to be. i watched both teams in the lea up, this is a different your obviously with all of the different covid restrictions an everything in-between and i jus wondered to myself, okay, america right now to me between the pandemic, between the election, between unrest
