Thank you very much. This morning los angeles has laid the ground rules for a mandatory curfew. Starting friday the hours of many businesses are being reduced. This curfew kicks 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 00 p. M. To 6 00 a. M. Governor newsom said he is studying the possibility of enacting a statewide curfew. Dr. George rutherford with ucsf says he is not sure how much that will slow the spread. I dont know how clear cut that is that it makes a major impact. In europe its about closing bars. Thats a big push. Closing stuff between 10 00 a. M. And 5 00 a. M. , you know, at least where i live in alameda county, i dont see a lot open during those hours. Dr. Ruttherford says he hope most of california will go down. How the curfew would work is one of the most clicked things on abc7news. Com. You can check out more on our app and on abc7news. Com. With 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. Experts say we dont need to worry about a supply problem. Amy hollyfield is live in san leandro with what were seeing there. The amy . Clerks at stores like this costco say theyre noticing that peoples Shopping Habits have changed. Theyre taking fewer trips to the store and theyre really stocking up when they are there. Here is the result. Empty shelves or near empty shelves, especially the toilet paper and paper towel aisle. We found this at a number of stores. Safe way, target, costco are all dealing with this. Some are limiting the number people can buy. If you do find empty shelves, the California Growers Association says dont worry. If youre out one day it doesnt mean it will be that way forever. You have to wait for the next load to come in, which is typically the next day. Store clerks might smirk at you if you ask for paper goods later in the day. The time to shop for those products appears to be in the morning. This costco opens at 9 30. We are watching trucks pull in and employees are unloading and restocking the shelves. But dont be surprised if its all gone by the end of the day. People are stocking up like it is march all over again. Reporting live from san leandro, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you. Two major deadlines today in the president ial race. Gr georgia has until the end of today to recount all the nearly 5 million votes there by hand. If President Trump wants a recount in wisconsin his Campaign Must file the paperwork this afternoon. President trump has fired his top cybersecurity official who denied there was any fraud during the election. Chris krebs said this election was the most secure in american history. The president tweeted that krebs has been terminated adding that his statement is highly inaccurate. Meanwhile president elect joe biden still not receiving security briefings. That is mostly due to a lack of official acknowledgment from the General Services administration as President Trump refuses to concede. Youre assuming that President Trump is moving on.

Look at that heavy snow falling at donner summit. Were under a winter storm warning while it rains here in the bay area. Theyre contending with feet of snow that is possible. That winter storm warning goes until 6 00 today. The thing that really caught my eye was the fact that they were talking about degree in the roadway as far as the heavy snow. Chains are required on 80 as you approach sierra. Caltrans reported a number of spinouts last night. Heres a look at that winter storm warning. We have got 40 to 60mileperhour winds and a heavy wet snow up to another foot. Just really nasty conditions there. Back here at home, you can see santa clara, san jose, we just had a moderate shower roll through the area. Now the sunol grade, if you take that or 84, we have light rain falling on 680 or 84.

Just be careful and take your time out there. If youre considering a trip this Holiday Season, dont do it. That is the message from the medical community this morning. Now 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.

Mind your business. Still ahead, chaos breaks out at a City Council Meeting in fairfield. The incident that ended with nine people being arrested. And a chance to take on Climate Change by dining out. The restaurant coming soon to San Francisco. All right. As we head to break, lets take a live look outside and see what it looks like. Yeah. Its raining a little bit. We can see some drops on our camera. Youre con the clock,the go, and on your way. Hang on a second. Whats the rush . Know the speed limit, go the speed limit, and slow the fast down. Go safely, california. Take a quick break,ite, jump on a quick call. Next time you take a quick trip, how about this . Take a second, take your time, and slow the fast down. Go safely, california. Welcome back. 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. Investigators did recover a knife at the scene. A new study finds that 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. It appears we might need to do this, wave because those fist bumps, the elbow bumps, its not cutting it. Any Research Finds those things that we thought were safe could 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 fist tap can do it, you know, any other contact probably can do it as well. Sadly we do need to maintain some distance. That pharmacologist suggests some other greetings like placing your hand over your heart or doing the shaka. There he goes. I dont know about that. Ill do the heart. Ill do the hand over the heart. New at 6 00, one restaurant in San Francisco is trying to help the environment by making pizza from food waste. Okay. Go with us here. Shujis trash pie is creating pizza toppings using items that might end up in the garbage. This is their kickstarter page. Billions of pounds of food loss comes from the farm. The owners plan to convert foods with cosmetic irregularities or bumps in the harvest into pizza toppings to show the planet can be tasty. When we first said it, it made it sound like we were jumping into the garbage and putting that on pizza. Its just food not used because its not perfect or too much. Im here for it. Me, too. I dont need it to be pretty, just taste good. Thank you. Next time i see you guys, a hand over the heart and a little bit of a bow. Is that good . That works. Dont fall over. That will be my new thing. I used to do the hug thing because i lived in the south for so long, cant do that anymore. All right. Heres the roof camera. 58 degrees as we look down the wet embarcadero where a healthy rain for the north bay, inland east bay and the santa cruz mountains. It will go a long way to mitigating our fire season. It wasnt quite as healthy for the east bay shoreline, the south bay and parts of the peninsula. Still very dry there. Drizzle and rain this morning. A couple waves of showers through the early afternoon hours. Our second highlight talks about tonight as a chance of some of those showers will linger in northern sonoma and lake and mendocino counties. The rest of us will be dealing with tule fog tomorrow morning. A dry pattern after that lasting well into the weekend and possibly even during thanksgiving week. Thats getting well ahead of ourselves. Heres the rain. You can see some of the drier air moving along los altos and sunnyvale. Cupertino dealing with light rain.

Now at 6 30, were starting to get a sense of the longterm effects of covid19. This stanford professor shares his struggle with everyday tasks after getting sick. Even with the surge, San Francisco schools are moving forward with a tentative reopening plan. The new details from last nights meeting. And were waking up to rain, drizzle, even a few scattered showers. Heres a live look at our Doppler Radar which you can also find on abc7news. Com. When we will see sunshine back in the bay area. Good question. Mmhmm. Definitely. Good morning. It is wednesday, november 18th. Im missing that sunshine, mike, so when is it making a return . Its going to make a return a little bit this afternoon, but even more so as we move deeper into the forecast. This is one of those healthy rains that we desperately needed. Good morning. Thanks for joining us. Were talking twothirds of an inch in some areas to an inch in others. Its definitely going to help mitigate the fire season. Now were just on the tail end of it which you can see right there in the east bay and mainly in the south bay. This is a 1. Were not through with it after this mornings rain and drizzle. We have some scattered showers from midmorning to mid afternoon with another tenth of an inch of rain possible. Lets go down and you can see on highway 4, 580, 680, the tri valley if you will, down through the sunol grade and into the south bay is where we have the steadiest of the rain. That is going to move out right as we get towards the end of the morning commute. You can see right there in san jose, the light rain falling on 87 near the shark tank. Another mild day on tap. Temperatures mainly around 60 to 64 degrees. Well give you an hourbyhour look at the showers coming up next. 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 states 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. 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. What hes doing now is rationing those 45 minutes a day to still help his students even if it means he has to take a mental break two to three days. Going back to the classroom in San Francisco even as we experience this uptick in covid cases. The School Board Just set a january date. But there are still so many questions about how or even if this is going to go forward. The abc7 reporter Julian Glover is live with the vote and the remaining obstacles. Julian . Good morning. Lots of questions and also many concerns from some teachers and parents. As we know, some San Francisco unified students could be back learning in 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. I implore you to consider for the wellbeing for all, from students to school safe. If its not safe to dine indoors, its not safe to return to school per normal. This resolution needs more voices from parents and teachers who directly work with the students. Some parents and teachers are concerned about safety, and 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 becomes a reality, the county Health Department has to sign off on the districts reopening plan before those students would return on january 25th. Then if all goes well there additional grades would be allowed to return to learning in person. Reporting live this morning, Julian Glover, abc7 news. Today marks 42 years since thejonestown massacre. More than 900 people died when jim jones ordered the mass cult killings. Today there will be a memorial at Evergreen Cemetery in oakland.

She was concerned about the familys 2yearold pit bull dice being outside. While uncomfortable, the jones say keeping calm was the most important thing. She had a stun gun.

With talk of a possible statewide curfew to slow the spread of coronavirus, many people in the bay area are stocking up. We are seeing a lot of empty shelves. Very similar to when the pandemic first hit. Amy hollyfield is live in san leandro with whay experts say theres no need to worry. Kumasi, if you do need paper towels or toilet paper, the best time to shop is in the morning. If you wait until late in the day, this is what will likely greet you right now. Empty or near empty shelves. We found this at a lot of stores. Its not just one. Theyre all dealing with it. We found this at target, costco, safe way. Some stores are now 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. Yeah. The california grocers Association Says there is no need to worry. That stores are not going to 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 not coming as often, when they do come theyre buying large quantities so they can spend less time at the store, more time at home. In fact, you might get a are you serious look from clerks if you ask late in the day if they have toilet paper or paper towels. They say you have to get here in the morning if you want some. Live in san leandro, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. All right. Thank you. An Emeryville Company is behind the first of its kind covid19 home test that has been approved by the fda. Jobina is at the live desk with how quickly you can get results. The fda announced that the lucera zest kit is the first to be approved that is fully selfadministered and can be done at home. 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 prescription. I want to see a lot more home tests. According to the companys website it will cost less than 50. To your Morning Money report. Dolly parton donated 1 million to find a covid19 vaccine. That money went to moderna who developed a vaccine thats nearly 95 effective. She donated the money back in april and just wanted the money to do good. Lets look at the new york stock exchange, were up about 136 points. A mothers gift to her daughter. Were hearing from the 51yearold mom who stepped in to be a surrogate for her daughter. Breanna lockwood said she struggled for fertility for years. Her doctor suggested surrogacy and that can be expensive. They couldnt afford that so her mom offered to carry the baby. I literally shot her a text and said hey, i would love to be your surrogate. She was like, mom, no. Youre crazy. It took some convincing. Breanna didnt think it was possible, but after speaking with her doctor her mother was approved to be a gestational character.
