Short commute i hit a lot of standing water. That woke me back up again. Hi, mike. Yeah. Definitely some minor ponding out there as we head through the morning commute. The deeper we get into the morning commute the less likely youll run into that. We have patches of drizzle and light rain to contend with. A bit of fog out there as we try to keep things damp. That will transition after the morning commute into a few waves of showers that should be over around 3 00, 4 00. The clouds may open just right before the sun sets, but tonight tule fog will be arriving. The morning commute will be wetter than the evening commute. Kind of the reverse of what we had yesterday. Well talk about a dry pattern coming up as we look into thanksgiving week. Thank you. Well start this morning with a major announcement overnight about pfizers covid19 vaccine. We know youve been tracking these vaccine developments closely. Pfizer says it is just days away now from seeking fda approval. Jobina has the details. Pfizer says its vaccine is 95 effective against covid19 in the final analysis in its phrase three trial and the Company Plans to file for fda authorization within days. Once thats given, pfizer will deliver millions of doses possibly before the end of the year. Its not known how long the immunity will last after receiving the vaccine. Pfizer said the vaccine caused only mild side effects, the most common one was fatigue which happened in 4 of volunteers. Pfizer expects to produce 1. 3 billion doses worldwide next year. This morning los angeles has laid the ground rules for a mandatory curfew. Governor newsom is likely keeping a close eye on this. So starting friday, the hours of many businesses are being reduced. The curfew would kick in if there are 4,500 cases in a day or if hospitalizations reach 2,000. The curfew would require everyone except for essential workers to stay home from 10 10 00 00 p. M. To 4 00 a. M. You dont like to be prescriptive but sometimes when you deal with the seriousness of the situation right now, i leave it up to the good judgment of the leaders of your states and your cities to make that. If they make that decision i certainly think the basis upon which it is made if its sound i would back that. Governor newsom said he is studying the possibility of enacting a statewide curfew. How the curfew would work is one of the most clicked on things at abc7news. Com. We break down what other states are doing and talk to a ucsf doctor about what californians could expect if a kcurfew is ordered here. Check it out on our app and on abc7news. Com. With all the talk of a possible curfew and restrictions tightening in the bay area, a lot of people are stocking up. Were seeing a lot of empty shelves similar to when the pandemic first hit. Stores are running out of toilet paper and paper towels. Experts say we do not need to worry about a supply problem. Amy hollyfield is live in san leandro with more on this. Good morning. Good morning. Were watching as big trucks pull into this costco. They are restocking shelves right now. The best time to shop were told if you are looking for toilet paper or paper towels is in the morning. Late in the day this is what we found. This is what the shelves looked like. Theyre pretty empty. Its not just one store. We found this was the case at target, costco, safeway, all of them dealing with the same issue. Some stores are limiting how many packages customers can buy. But the shelves are still clearing out by the end of the day. Clerks are reassuring customers that more will arrive. They said that they do get toilet paper every day, you just have to come earlier in the day to get some. The California Grocers Association says theres no need to worry. Stores will not close. And they do get daily shipments of supplies. Clerks say they are noticing that people are now trying to limit their number of trips to the store, so theyre noticing everyone is buying large quantities so they can spend less time at the store and more time at home. This costco opens at 9 30 this morning, so again, morning is a good time to get those supplies if you need them. Reporting live from san leandro, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you. If you are still considering a trip this Holiday Season, dont do it. That is the message from the medical community. We know california has an advisory which is not a ban, however Health Professionals say traveling just is not worth the risk as our covid cases surge. I have to stand with Public Health officials and say this Holiday Season has to suck so future ones dont. I implore people to make prudent decisions, responsible decisions about travel, their gettogethers. We all want to see our family and friends right now. This is not the year to do it. If you do decide to leave the state, youre asked to selfquarantine for two weeks when you return. And an Emeryville Company is behind the first of its kind covid19 home test approved by the fda. Jobina is at the live desk with how quickly you can get results. Luceras test kit is the first to be approved that can be fully selfadministered and provide results at home. Lucera says results are available in 30 minutes. People will need a prescription to get the test. Initially tests will be available in california and florida. The kit includes a sterile swab, sample vile, a test unit and a plastic disposable bag. The results will be shown on the test units lightup display that shows whether a person is positive or negative for covid19. We had the technology to do this for many, many months. So im happy to see the fda approving this. The problem now is we dont know how many tests will be available, how long it will take to get the tests out there. And obviously still going to require a prip shun. Prescription. I want to see a lot more home tests. According to the companys website it will cost less than 50,000. Thank you. Today president elect biden will meet with Front Line Health Care workers as he moves forward with his transition plans. President trump is escalating his campaign against the Election Results by firing the cybersecurity official who publicly contradicted the president s claims about fraud. Reporter this morning President Trumps top cybersecurity official is out of a job after he described the election as the most secure in american history. The president tweeted that chris krebbs has been terminated. Krebbs led a team in the Homeland Security department which released a Statement Last week saying theres no evidence that any Voting System deleted or lost votes, changed votes or was in any way compromised. Krebbs overnight reacted to his firing saying honored to serve. We did it right. Defend today, secure tomorrow. Democrats and republicans alike are slamming the president s move. This has been the story of the Trump Administration for four years. Anyone that had the audacity to speak truth to power, anybody that wouldnt carry the president s false line. Its a terrible tragedy. Gop senator ben sasse said krebs did a really good job, and he obviously should not be fired. The latest uphefl coaval comes after trump fired mark esper, who recently warned the white house about a rapid withdrawal from afghanistan, but yesterday trumps new defense secretary made it official. By january 15th, 2021, our forces, their size in afghanistan will be 2,500 troops. Our force size in iraq will also be 2,500 by that same date. Reporter within hours of that announcement, rockets were launched near the u. S. Embassy in iraq. This morning, president elect biden is still not receiving security briefings, mostly due to a lack of official acknowledgement from the General Services administration. As President Trump refuses to concede the election, but Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell insists well have an orderly transfer from this administration to the next one. Kenneth mouton, abc news, new york. All right. So look at this. Rain for the bay area means snow in the sierra. Caltrans is reporting a number of spinouts last night on interstate 80 at kingvale. Well check in with mike to see what we can expect for today. Mike . Winter storm warning until 6 00 this evening. Up to another 12 inches of heavy wet snow for the sierra. Ill show you that coming up in the next weather. Well focus on us and our temperatures moving forward. Were all over the scale from much warmer than we were even yesterday in the east bay valleys and the north bay valleys to most of the bay and the south bay much cooler. Where does that put us . Mid to upper 50s with drizzle in San Francisco. As you look around elsewhere, were pretty much in the mid to upper 50s, even a 60 showing up right now in pittsburg. So heres a look at whats going to happen today as far as the wet weather. In fact, right now you can see san ramon and danville, crow canyon going down to castro valley, wet. Hayward and all the way up towards alameda wet. San mateo bridge wet. The heaviest of the rain showing up in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Broad picture shows this is the first wave of a couple of rain showers that we will have. Well mix in a little drizzle during the morning. Thankfully we dont have to worry about thunderstorms outside of lake and mendocino counties. If we have any thats where it will be. Looking at future radar, moving through the morning commute, that next wave moves in to the north bay, spreads across the bay as we head through the lunch hour and then by the evening commute most of the wet weather should be gone other than a few spotty showers in sonoma, lake and mendocino counties during the overnight hours. Well show you how much rain to expect coming up. First, jobina has issues on the roads already. Yes. Good morning. I want to bring in a live picture showing off this sigalert on the lower deck of the bay bridge. This will impact people heading eastbound. This is eastbound 80 past the fremont street offramp. According to the chp, this involved a big rig here. We can get a clear look at the scene. Three lanes are blocked right now. We saw an extensive backup but things look like theyre moving better. This is the countercommute direction. Injuries were reported in this crash. The bridge is slick so take your time. We have other issues to report. Again, this is just showing it on the sensors. You can see this backup is not bad. Moving over to san leandro, a crash on southbound 880 before davis street. Overturned vehicle, injuries reported. Roadway flooding in san rafael. This will be northbound 101 before 580. There is water in all of the lanes. Just bringing in lastly a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza, again slow down. Weve already seen a number of spinouts this morning. Thank you. Coming up, outrage at a local City Council Meeting. What led up to nine arrests. And its nba draft day and of course it will be like nothing weve seen before. The virtual experience the warriors have planned for fans. Also this morning, no more fist bumps. New research on how this can now transmit a coronavirus and a few theres no bad time to start at amazon. I like the flexibility. It also allows for picking up shifts. Safety comes first, speed comes second. Safety. Safety. Safety. Were making sure that somebody is getting their very important items. It makes me very happy. All right. Were back at 5 14. A quick look at that winter storm warning. What is concerning is debris possible on the roads because its such a heavy wet snow. You can see we have snow all the way up and down the sierra, at least through yosemite and showers along the coast and into the central valley. Once we get past today, snow as far as tahoe goes. It will be quiet up there through the holiday week. If youre taking 280 this morning especially south in the south bay, you will run into quite a bit of drizzle and light rain the next hour or so. 87 looks wet. Your planner for today, were frontloaded with wet weather. Backloaded with decreasing clouds and cooler conditions after being in the 60s well drop into the 50s this evening. All right. Thank you. Nine people have been arrested in fairfield after things took a nasty turn during last nights City Council Meeting people got angry because the city council moved an item regarding a new Police Officer to the end of the meeting. That officer was involved in a Deadly Police shooting while working for the Vallejo Police department. The city says that people were so disrupted the meeting had to be stopped and Council Members left the room. Were waiting to find out more about a Police Shooting in San Francisco. It happened by the westfield mall on Market Street around 5 00 yesterday evening. Police were called to the report of a fight. A witness says a suspect was belligerent as police were trying to get the situation under control. Its not clear what happened next but the person was shot by police and is now in the hospital. Police say one officer used a less Lethal Weapon and a sheriffs deputy used a taser. Black and hispanic people are much more likely to die from covid19 than other groups. Researchers at stanford and duke universities examined almost 8,000 patients between january and july. And they found the average mortality rate for all patients was 18. 4 . But black and hispanic patients made up more than half of those who died from the disease. Once you are in the hospital, the fact that you are black or hispanic or asian or white does not increase your chance of dying. But by sheer number black and hispanic patients die more. Where you receive treatment is a big factor in your survival. Researchers are looking into the reasons why more people die at hospitals serving minority communities. Thats one reason why doctors running covid19 trials are focused on diverse volunteer groups. We may need to stick to socially distant waves as our greetings during the pandemic. New Research Finds even a fist bump can transmit viruses. Weve seen some notable people like Kamala Harris use the first bump. A pharmacologist in North Carolina is now advising against it. Veterans Administration Researchers studied fist bumps. Scientists put a benign virus on a keyboard and had people type on it. They found a fist bump was able to transfer from the person who used the keyboard. If a tap can do it any other contact could do it as well. Sadly we do need to maintain some distance. That farm kpharmacologist su placing your hand over your heart or a traditional hawaiian gesture of fondness. The shaka. Thats the shaka . Yeah. We were doing the elbow. Thats over . I dont like the elbow bump. Can we just not touch . I think thats what we need to do. I like the heart thing. The heart is good. Thats cute. Yeah. Nothing wrong with a good old wave, if you want to do a nice he hey. Whats up . Followthrough. Shaka, sure. Give me the head nod, i may give you a different gesture back. My goodness.

Were getting a little bit of a break. You can see up along the north bay coast before more wet weather moves in from midmorning to mid afternoon. Look at this. By the time we head into the latter part of the afternoon hours, showers are tapering and temperatures will hang out in the low to mid 60s this afternoon. Lets get over to kumasi for more news. All right. Thank you. This morning covid19 cases are going up in all 50 states. More than 2 million americans have tested positive so far this month making november the worst month yet of this pandemic. Jobina is at the live desk with how hospitals are coping with all of this. The covid19 tracking project reports that more than 77,000 people are currently hospitalized with the virus. Many hospitals are at 100 capacity with new cases breaking records every day. More states and cities are imposing restrictions, but at least a dozen starts are resisting mask mandates. We need to turn things around over the next few months or else we risk hospitals to turn patients away. Were also seeing a lot of people getting tested because they want to have license to go socialize with each other. And unfortunately that is not the phase of the pandemic that we are in right now. Testing sites across the country are also overwhelmed. The u. S. Has reported more than 150,000 newly diagnosed infections for five days in a row. Kumasi . Thank you. In the east bay, Health Officials are acknowledging that some people will likely gather with people outside of their household for thanksgiving. So they set up this testing before turkey option so that you can get tested before and after the holiday. One pittsburg family taking advantage of this. They lost their grandfather to covid three months ago. They are going ahead with the meal. T the. Its only two households. Maximum ten people. We still want to be safe. Anyone who lives or works in Contra Costa County can get access to nocost convenient covid19 testing. The results from the testing sites come back in less than two days. Were learning more every day about the longterm effects of covid. A stanford professor says he tested positive in march and now eight months later he says he can still only focus for 45 minutes a day. All of a sudden i found i couldnt concentrate anymore. It was difficult to read even. You would see words on the screen but you couldnt interpret them. The longterm effects continue pushing him to make a tough decision and taking a sabbatical year to recover. Experts say the longterm effects of covid are still a mystery. The doctors say this is a result of a postviral inflammation and its basically your own bodys immune system reacting and that it eventually should mostly go away. But it can be a year or more. Nicholas molage is staying positive rationing those 45 minutes a day to help his students even if it means he has to take a mental break two to three days after. California could adopt strict new workplace standards to protect employees from covid19. Tomorrow cal osha will vote on the new emergency regulations. If passed employers would be required to identify and notify all workers exposed to positive cases within one business day. Also they would be required to mandate and enforce the wearing of face coverings in the workplace, implement safety measures, employer provided housing, transportation and free testing to employees in the event of positive cases in the workplace. If this is approved, this could go into effect as early as november 30th. Going bag back to the class in San Francisco even as we see a spike in covid cases. There are still a lot of question marks about how or even if this can proceed. The abc7 reporter Julian Glover is live with the vote and the remaining obstacles. Juli julian . Lots of questions here. Some San Francisco unified students could be back learning inside of the classroom as early as january 25th. The board unanimously voted in favor of that timeline in a meeting on tuesday night. Now the first batch of students to return would be preschool, kindergarten and first graders. Students having the toughest time learning remotely, those with moderate to severe disabilities would also be in the first group. About 10,000 students in the first phase. So much still needs to be figured out like how many parents are in favor of sending students back to learning in person versus those preferring virtual learning. The district plans to send out a survey to parents to hear what they have to say. We have students who cannot tolerate Wearing Masks and they cannot keep them on their face because of sensory differences. Some of our students cannot maintain social distancing and requires a staff member to be by their side at all times for various reasons. Some parents and teachers are concerned about safety, understandably so. Another challenge, sfusd has to reach an agreement with teachers and staff about working conditions and the district is also in the process of inspecting each school to determine if theres proper ventilation in place and planning social distancing protocols. So much still up in the air. San francisco just rolled back to the red tier and restricted additional activities just days ago and before any of this is a reality, county Health Officials would have to sign off on the districts reopening plan before those students would return on january 25th. Then if all goes well there additional students could be phased back into the classroom after that january 25th date. For now reporting live this morning, Julian Glover, abc7 news. Thank you. A big honor for dr. Anthony fauci. San jose States School of journalism and Mass Communications presented him with the William Randolph hearst award. They called him the most trusted voice in america. Dan ashley echoed that theme in an opening video. He served under six president s. He acknowledged some people dont accept his policies or advice resulting in Death Threats aimed at him as well as his family members including one of his three daughters in the bay area. He says he just ignores it. Thats all noise. I focus on my goal. Thats noise. I dont Pay Attention to it. Consistency in truth telling is critical. Consistency maintains integrity. San jose state also surprised dr. Fauci with another honor. An endowment scholarship bearing his name. It will support future students specializing in health journalis journalism. My unscientific perception, why is that everyone has an opinion from someone elses is getting Death Threats . Seems to be happening more and more. Its just sad. We have mid to upper 50s with rain in the east bay. Pretty mild temperatures everywhere else as you can see. Pretty much upper 50s to low 60s. Lets talk about some wet weather. We have light rain falling now in san jose where the rain shadow, we only had 0. 04 inches of rain the last 24 hours. Its going to be the wettest this morning and then it will taper a bit. You will find puddles if youre on mass transit. It wont be quite as breezy out on the water as it was yesterday, especially during the morning commute. Heres a look at the south bay. The heaviest of the rain is falling in the Santa Cruz Mountains. You get that rain shadow, considerably lighter ran falling. Just enough to use the windshield wiper, umbrella and need some patience on the roadway. You can see a break as we look upstream. As we look upstream thats the best place for anything convective. Any thunderstorms around mendocino and lake county. We dont have to worry about that. We have more showers on the way as you can see with future radar. As we head from the morning commute in transition to the regular day at 9 30, you can see those showers rolling from northwest to southeast across our neighborhoods as we head through the lunch hour. Then by the evening commute, theyre almost gone. Look at the clouds open up and thats going to open us up unfortunately to some really thick tule fog tomorrow morning and a slight chance of a few showers as we that will be tapering during the morning commute tomorrow up in lake, mendocino and northern sonoma counties. Rainfall amounts will be sporadic because theres showers. Its not a steady rain, up to a tenth of an inch of rain is possible. Lets talk about that wet commute and turn it over to jobina. Hi. Thank you. Good morning. So as you see behind me here, this is a live look at the lower deck of the bay bridge. We have a sigalert here.

Theres also a crash northbound 880 at hagan berger. A lot of spin outs and wet roads. This morning, no service cuts to vta after all. Instead the Valley Transportation Authority leaders want to add more buses to prevent crowding. Right now drivers are being forced to pass up south bay riders waiting at stops if they already have too many passengers on the bus. Vta says one solution is to increase service to the more popular routes to allow for social distancing. No word yet on which lines will get more frequent service. Vta says an announcement is coming soon. Thank you. Were hearing from a black family in Discovery Bay about a racist encounter with a neighbor.
