Governor newsom shared details about the plan that california is putting together and the wait could be weeks and not months. Julian glover live with more on the plan. Good morning, julian. Hey, good morning, kumasi. This initial vaccination timeline is energ canning news for people as we enter this difficult period and battling covid19 with the pandemic with hospitalizations up as we go into the holidays here. The vaccinations would be distributed in phases. That according to governor gavin newsom at a press conference on monday. Health care workers and people in assisted living and nursing facilities and also First Responders would be in the first group of people to get vaccinated. Now, the state is getting a plan in place to get roughly 2. 4 Million Health care workers statewide vaccinated. This starts with acquiring 77 of the freezers needed to vaccine. Theyd be strategically placed across the state. For the planning purposes, were anticipating that fda approval in early december. That mass vaccination. And the distribution available. The mass vaccinations is unlikely to occur any time soon. Newsom has previously said the state of california will independently review the efficacy and safety of the vaccine candidates. This is still happening. Now, so far the west coast vaccine safety board has reviewed phase one and phase two for the pfizer and moderna vaccines. Zero in exactly on that timeline when mass vaccinations could happen for the general public. The governor said monday that is not likely to happen until spring or summer of 2021. The earliest month he threw out in a hypothetical timeline being march of next year. Reporting live this morning, Julian Glover, abc7 news. It was Pretty Amazing to see how fast covid testing ramped up but the vaccines will be an unprecedented challenge. It makes logistics critical at local levels which have been dubbed the last mile. This includes the military, government, First Responders, hospitals, Public Health clinics, pharmacies, mobile sites and also large employers that will give their vaccines to priority groups. If i went back in january and asked you, would you be confident in offering a covid19 testing in a parking lot, the answer would be no. Every single Testing Center needs to convert into Vaccination Center to be able to support the volume were looking at right now. On top of that, theyre scheduling appointments for the required second dose as well as postvaccination monitoring. So, training will be critical in this, too.

Temperatures 39 right now in pleasanton and livermore and 49 in San Francisco and 42 at san jose. Look at east bay hills where its 53 at 1800 feet and warm air rising at night. Too chilly to do yard work at night but if youre like me and like to get the final cut and get the final trim before you start decorating.

Heres a look at our temperatures. 9 00 most of us 50 to 55. 11 00 about 56 to 60 degrees and at 1 0058 to 65 and then you can see by 3 00, were looking around 57 to 63. And all of that sunshine will give way to stars and 50 to 55 by 7 00. Heres a look at whats going on today. You can see all that sunshine out there. Now, as we head into the evening hours, watch the showers start to roll into lake and mendocino. Lets take a look at what is going on with your commute. Hi, jobina. How are you . Hi, mike. Goodern moi morning. Well start off with a live look at 680 and walnut creek. One of the busiest spots and you ca see its not that busy. A quiet start to the commute this morning. Same story in oakland. 880 at the coliseum camera there. No major crashes to report or blocking issues right now and as you take an overall look at the map and you can see a couple slow patches but really not bad right now. Also this morning transit jobs are in jeopardy as federal stimulus funding runs out in the coming weeks. Thats why labor groups are urging the commission to transit layoffs. According to media partner will discuss the proposal at the next meet next month. The mtc is responsible for transit in nine bay area counties, Public Transit ridership has plummeted since the pandemic began back in march. Kumasi. Thank you, jobina. Police are trying to piece together what happened. What led up to this deadly stabbing spree at a san jose church. This morning, though, one man is in custody. Two people were killed and three other people hurt in this incident at Grace Baptist Church sunday night. Facility the stabbing happened that serves as the churchs winter homeless center. One of the people injured was a Church Staff Member who tried to intervene. Stunning to us. You know, we recognize that there are risks in this kind of program. Police have yet to release the suspects name or indicate whether or not they were staying at the shelter. Up to 50 people were inside when this happened. Happening today. Berkeley firefighters will start removing Construction Equipment from an Apartment Building that caught fire. University avenue is going to be closed starting at 6 30 this morning and this is a live look at that scene. The intersection will be shut down until noon so crews have the space to work.

A sixalarm fire tore through the building saturday night and firefighters are still watering the hot spots. Coming up, the former acting director of the cdc dr.

Kumasi . Thank you, mike. Three weeks after election day and the president ial transition is formally under way. President trump tweeted that he administration to been the transfer of power because it is in the best interest of our country. Start sharing information with president elect joe biden. Today his first six cabinet n nominees will join biden for an official announcement in delaware. Why did you go with National Security first . Because its National Security. Thanks. Biden will start receiving National Security briefio be in information from the white houses covid19 task force. Weve been telling you covid19 cases are surging ahead of the holidays. We know a lot of you are feeling the covid fatigue. Yourp growing joining us now this morning is dr. Richard besser former cdc acting director and with abc for a long time. Dr. Besser, great to see you. Thanksgiving coming up real quick. Weve been told over and over again not to gather with groups outside of our home. However we just saw that 3 Million People traveled by air over the weekend to get some place. So, whautt is the lastminute advice you would give to these families . Its a challenging time. Everyone is absolutely sick of this pandemic and thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays. If your plans arent set, if people havent taken off to come to your house, i still urge you to follow cdcs advice and not have the big thanksgiving gathering this year. We normally have 20 to 30 people at our house. This year we have three coming. My wife, me and one son who was able to get tested. But my parents who live two miles from us, theyre both 90, were going to deliver them some food, but were not getting together. Its just too risky. When i see the news aboutthe vaccines tha are coming it gives me excitement and also gives me fear because im just seeing too many people who think that this is over and we can just stop doing all of these things that are so important to preventing spread. This winter is the most dangerous period of this pandemic and we have to double down. And dr. Besser you mentioned that vaccine and weve been talking about it so much lately. We can expect to see three vaccines at this point and Health Care Workers prioritized when it comes to getting it. What do you think is a realistic timeline everyone else can get it . Kumasi, i think in all likelihood it will be late spring, early summer. But still a lot of things in play. None of these vaccines have been approved yet by fda. Some of them are really challenging in terms of what is required to distiburibute them. And far more vaccines than we currently see by the time the late winter comes along. There are a number of other vaccines in trial being studied and that gives me great hope. But until we have widespread vaccination and wearing masks, washing hands, social distancing, those are the things that are going to save lives and we need congress to step up and put money in peoples pockets and keep people from getting evicted this winter. Right now in california varying restrictions and currently a lot of the bay area has a nightly curfew in Los Angeles County they are implementing starting tomorrow no Outdoor Dining whatsoever. Do you think that we jump the gun a little bit knowing that we are going to see increased cases around the holidays by reopening some of these places like gyms and indoor restaurants only to have to shut them down again . You know, i dont know that we jump the gun but i thinkhave idea that these are things that you dial up and you dial down. Based on what is going on locally. So, you know, when things are good, you can allow people to do more. When things are not so good, you can put in place restrictions. But they need to be based on science. And clearly indoor dining, congregating in bars and those are risky activities. Being outside in a park is not a risky activity. You know, when i hear some places are shutting down parksk open for indoor dining. When i see places that get children into schools successfully learning and shutting down schools doesnt make a lot of sense to me. We have to prepare people and explain why things are taking place. And one of the challenges is that we havent been able to hear from cdc every day during this to explain the Public Health measures. I know you mentioned how important it is for congress and the federal government to step in and help people. What do you think are the best ways that they can do that and why is that so vital for us kind of overcoming this. Well, kumasi, when you look at how this pandemic has played out. It hits every community but not every community equally. Black, latino, native americans being hit the hardest. We need congress to step up, put money in peoples pockts and put back in place eviction protection, mortgage foreclosure protection and sick leave, expand Unemployment Insurance and the snap program. These are things that are going to save lives. There are tens of millions of people at risk of eviction. You mentioned something about the cdc a moment ago and, obviously, you have a direct experience with that agency although not in this particular administration. So, given that, we didnt see this very specific advice from the cdc about not traveling for thanksgiving until very late last week. And even getting that advice was surprising given the sort of lack of information we received from the cdc. Do you think at this point, they have turned the corner and are now going to at least for the rest of this administration be more clear with americans . You know, i would love to see that. But until we see cdc out front at the podium on a daily basis talking to the public through the media, i dont think things will really have changed. You know, for guidance like thanksgiving to appear on the web, but not be discussed in a press conference wont have, it doesnt have the same impact, especially when our political leaders are not pushing those same messages as hard as cdc is. Dr. Besser, thank you so much for taking time to chat with us this morning. We appreciate it. Its a pleasure. Happy thanksgiving to all of you. Happy thanksgiving. And to you. All right. 5 20, checking in with mike. Yeah, great job, guys. Appreciate that. Lets take a look at whats going on from the east bay hills camera. You can see maybe a little haze hanging out there but for the most part the fog stuck around napa and American Canyon right now. About 53 degrees. Well use this as the back abou conditions today. Slightly milder and couple degrees warmer than yesterday. Scattered and light showers and then drizzle as this storm moves from north to south. Hate to call it a storm, a cold front moves from north to south during the overnight hours. Once it passes, well have some cold mornings this weekend and some mild afternoons and more dry weather. Heres a look at todays temperatures. 68 the warm spot and that is fairfield followed by santa rosa at 67 and concord and you can see low to mid 60s around the bay and in about 58 to 63 along the coast. You can see a nice, green blob right there and that is some of the shower activity and late drizzle and temperatures milder than this morning. Most of us in the 40s. Heres a look at area of High Pressure that has been dominating our forecast and keeping the storms away. This one just Strong Enough but trying to spend most of its energy to get rid of that area of High Pressure and slight chance of wet weather tonight and breezy conditions and slightly cooler weather tomorrow through thursday morning and then the breezes will taper and be a few degrees warmer for thursday. Another dry cold front means cold, frosty temperatures inland friday, saturday, sunday morning and seasonal afternoons with it is 5 24. If youre just joining us the seven things to know this morning. Number one, more counties can move into the states most restrictive purple tier today and that could include san mateo and marin county. Sonoma county putting School Reopening waivers applications on hold as the county remains in the purple tier. Schools need a waiver from local Health Officials to open their campuses. Number three.

Reporter in this mornings gma first look is it time for a mask refresh . You can imagine a mask as it gets older, especially fabric masks might get loose and the looser the fabric is, the more that the really small particles that you cant necessarily see with the naked eye, but the more of those that can escape.

Lets check in with mike. Hi, everybody. Some fog very isolated and not all that thick but around napa and American Canyon and slipping into parts northern vallejo and 37, 12 could have issues with low visibility this morning. In fact, visibility is about one. Thats not bad compared to what we dealt with yesterday. You can see from the east bay hills looks clean else where and that does include the south bay and no drizzle this morning either. With a full amount of sunshine today, its going to be a little bit milder from 58 at Half Moon Bay to 63 at santa cruz and 61 to 64 around the bay and 64 to 68 degrees inland. We do have a slight chance of some wet weather tonight. And an update on our thanksgiving forecast coming up. All right, thank you, mike. This morning, were seeing a Record Number of covid19 cases right here in california. In his latest News Conference the governor said the latest hospitalization rate has risen alarmingly. A 77 spike in the last two weeks. Intensive care units had a 55 increase in the same time period. The governor also underscored 18 to 49 year olds now make up 60 of cases in california right now. Back to the methology that somehow this disease separates itself exclusively by age or vulnerabilities that are defined by preexisting conditions and the like. It transcends. It impacts all populations. The states sevenday Positivity Rate which is a good indicator of the spread of the virus went up to 5. 8 and for some perspect sk it was 2. 8 . We are expecting an update from californias Health Secretary today and he warns more of the counties could go into the most restributive tier which currently means a curfew. Heres a look at where bay area counties currently stand. Most are already in the purple tier and under that 10 00 p. M. Curfew. Only three counties are not and that is San Francisco, san mateo and marin counties. Amy hollyfield live in menlo park. Amy. Hi, good morning, reggie. Here in menlo park you can stay out past 10 00 at night right now. Just a few blocks away in palo alto, you cant. There is a curfew that is Santa Clara County. The big question today will this county join that county in the purple tier today . Thats what we are looking for. We will have a big impact on businesses. San mateo, San Francisco and marin counties are the only bay area counties in the red tier right now and that means they can eat inside a restaurant. Dining rooms can hold 25 of their capacity. Indoor gyms can bend movie theaters and museums. That all changes in the purple tier. Officials have been watching the number of cases and have strongly suggestedpurple is happening. A mixed picture across california. Were always looking at the data urrent as we can and we report it as such and treat counties as such. The purplan indoor social gatherings. So, if this is announced today, that means indoor thanksgiving plans with people outside your family will need to be changed. Restaurants will only be allowed to serve outside restaurants that have all likely already ordered all the food they thought they would need for thanksgiving. This will bring a lot of change to these counties and that announcement is expected around noon today. Live in menlo park, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. Thank you, amy. In the north bay, Sonoma County is putti cases. The county has been stuck in the states purple tier which is the most restrictive. Schools waiver from local Health Officials in order to open their campuses. So far only a few schools have been allowed to resume inperson learning. Thanksgiving celebrations could bring even more trouble when it comes to the fight against covid19. Jobina is at the live desk with a warning. The nations top Infectious Disease expert says well see the effects of this weekend this month when people who got infected during the holiday develop symptoms. Dr. Anthony fauci says this could make the situation even worse during the holidays in december. Despite the cdc advice not to travel this thanksgiving, 3 Million People have already gotten on planes. The busiest air travel day is expected to be this sunday when more than a Million People will fly. We havent had thanksgiving as a family in 12 years. Yeah, with flights kind of being cheap and i already had covid. Perfect, i can go somewhere. Okay. Health experts say even though studies find mask wearing air Filtration Systems on planes to be sufficientant, travelers might get infected when taking a shuttle or ride share or while visiting family. You can watch that full report on thanksgiving travel coming up at 7 00 on gma reggie. That woman was, okay. Something else. Mpt. Were learning more about astrazenecas covid19 vaccine it is highly effective with no serious safety concerns. Kate larsen explains it could be more accessible to peocompared. I was incredibly pleased. Reporter because early data indicates that astrazenecas vaccine is highly effective. Astrazeneca said when they got half a dose of vaccine followed by a full dose a month later, it was 90 effective. Where two full doses o 62 effe. If you can start with half the dose, we will have more vaccine available and we can start vaccinating a larger group of people around the world. But why would less vaccine product produce a stronger immune response. We still need to exactly figure out what is happening within the data. One speculation is that that smaller dose is more similar to the actual infection. Reporter no serious safety issues turned up in the analysis which is based on trials in the uk and brazil. A participant in the uk became ill. A month ago they allowed u. S. Trials to resume and i was there as volunteers got injected in San Francisco, including san jose residents trisha and kevin. I know we dont know if you guys got the place vaccine product but tour inject you both feeling . We havent had any types eff. Definitely feeling hopeful. Reporter vaccines are months away from being widely available. The youngs have a message. If we could buy more time by wearing masks, it will help everyone in the end. Got to hang in there for a few more months, everyone. Now, a huge advantage of the astrazeneca vaccine is that 3 to 5 a dose its a fraction of the moderna and Pfizer Vaccines which cost between 20 and 37 per dose. Astrazenecas vaccine could be stored in a regular refrigerator for six months where moderna and Pfizer Vaccines both require freezers some of which are very ex im kate larsen, abc7 news. Speaking of vaccines, abc7 news assembled this team and pena and kumasi. They will answer critical questions about the vaccines as we get updates. Coming up, new hope for people sick with covid19. The drug the u. S. Government will start distributing today and how many people the fda thinks it could help just this month. And a socially distant way to celebrate the holidays. The experience you could check out at the zoo. That looks cool. But, firs in with metecco. I like that, reggie, thank you. Hi, everybody. Lets take a look at what is temperatures. Did your heater kick on already. Up to 11 degrees cooler than this time yesterday and much drier without any cloud cover to insulate us. Were already seeing 39 in walnut creek, pleasanton and also in livermore some of the cooler spots in the trivalley and everyone else in the mid to low 30s and 38 in Mountain View and 35 in napa. Mid to upper 40s around most of the bay outside of those areas. Heres a look at san jose, 42. Look how much cleaner the air is and how much drier it is also. Everything is better than just being cooler this morning and a little bit warmer during the afternoon and evening hours. Look at future radar and up until noon pretty sunny out there and still all the way through sunset which is at 4 53. Well have sunshine. You can see the cold front barreling down by midnight light showers in Mendocino County and those will turn over to just some random showers and drizzle as we head through the morning commute. Sliding right through the heart of the bay at 7 00 and exiting the south bay by 9 00. And then well have breezy conditions and cooler weather for tomorrow afternoon. Rainfall totals you could see up into the beginning of the morning commute, not too much. And then maybe 0. 01 just enough to make it slick. Dry this morning. Hopefully the commute is good. I have my fingers crossed. Lets head to jobina and find out. It definitely is. Goodern moin morning, everyone. Live look here. Dry conditions in the south bay and pretty much all over the bay area where its busiest right now coming through emory. Dale and i can tell you if youre headed towards the toll plaza at the bay bridge, it is empty. No metering lights to report and bringing in an overall look of the map here and you can see little slow across the bay Grocery Outlet jingle do you have cheese . Of course. More cheese for less chedar do you have kale . Absolutly. More kale for less cabbage in our produce section. How about pizza . yep. More pizza for less dough in the freezer section. Now youre getting the hang of it. Grocrey outlet jingle 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. For members like martin. An air force veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right. Usaa insurance is made just the way martins family needs it with hasslefree claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. Because doing right by our members, thats whats right. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. Usaa couple things i want to point out on our day planner for today. First, the sun comes up at 7 00 this morning. If we hadnt ended Daylight Saving it would come up at 8 00 give you an idea. 40 to 53 by then. Off to warmer afternoon with upper 50s along the coast and by the time we get to 7 00, already back into the 50s. Grab the coat. Around the state brighter and milder with 55 in eureka to 77 in palm springs. Pretty quiet up in the sierra for today. And then we had a debate yesterday in the newsroom about whether we should be doing travel forecasts and we decided were go do them even though youre not supposed to be traveling and one of the reasons is because wednesday there is a chance of some snow and ice in the sierra and heres the sevenday forecast and thats the only chance of snow in the sierra and tahoe as we head through monday. Kumasi. Thank you, mike. Happening today. The u. S. Government will start distributing regeneron. A drug used to treat covid19 and recently got emergency authorization from the food and drug administration. Now about 30,000 doses of this antibody therapy will be made available today. This is one of the treatments that President Trump received during his bout with the virus back in october. The fda hopes to distribute regeneron to 80,000 patients by the end of the month. Now to a story on the healing power of art. While thousands of nurses and doctors and First Responders have jumped into battle, abc7 news anchor dan ashley husband the story of one bay area facility benefiting from the creativity of artists. Reporter more likely to hold a sketch pad than a we can do a lot of things with our work. Reporter their canvas is an emergency Field Hospital set up in prisidio to handle an overflow of patients from the pandemic. It was converted to handle 90 plus noncovid patient physical hospitals become overwemmed. She had the idea of adding color and perhaps healing inspiration from art. Calming pictures or pictures of paintings and images of a better time. Reporter after meeting with dr. Tenner organizer and painter laura began working with fellow artists to transform the space. She says the priority was creating scenes that would capture a patients imagination. She drew from memories of a visit to tahiti. The ocean, the warmth and just the healing sea. Reporter other inspirations were as varied as the artists themselves. First thing i put on the wall was some monarch butterflies. I feel like butterflies are a symbol of hope. The pieces i put up are about growth and movement and its about our connection between healing with water and growth and movement. I thought what could i bring to the Field Hospital would be that sense of rejuvenation and love and spirit. I mean, spirit, really. Even if youre in just a room, youre exploring the real true art. Reporter so far it has held, thank goodness and Health Officials havent had to use the overflow space but should the crisis require it now added space in a struggling city for patients to heal. Both physically and spiritually. And that was dan ashley reporting. Happening today, an adorable holiday tradition goes on although with a twist. Taking over macys in San Franciscos union square because of the pandemic the holiday windows display is going virtual. Instead of live puppies and kittens filling the windows like we used to see here. Youll see a video of an animal up for adoption.
