Produce, and we put a lot of effort into it together with lots of governor gavin newsom says that is why he is considering more stringent measures. If these trends continue, then well need to take much more dramatic, arguably drastic actions. The governor says if the current search continues, 78 of the hospital beds will be occupied by christmas eve. Icu beds could be at capacity by the end of the year. In order to change that trajectory, he is thinking about issuing a stayathome order for the purple tier more than 90 of the population of california. Were assessing this in real time over the next day or two to make determination of the deep purple moves more in line with the stayathome order that folks were familiar with in the beginning of this year. This is bad. We are in a bad space right now. It will get worse in the short term says dr. George rutherford. Even in the bay area, which is doing better than the rest of the state. We all need patients and to listen to the experts. We need to hold on for a couple of months more. Then we will be into the spring. People will start going outside and transmission will drop off from there. Thats the way it will play, but it could get bad between now and say february. Reporter now joe, you mentioned that the bay area is actually doing better than the rest of the state. So it would lead you to believe that the outlook will be better here . Reporter yeah. The bay area, they have done better than the state as a whole throughout this entire pandemic. We will have the higher capacity. But still this spike, it is so dramatic and sharp. We havent even seen the numbers from thanksgiving, which theyre expected to appear later this week. Thats why were seeing these extreme measures, the same affect as this curfew, except all day long. Right. Now remember what that was like. All right, joe, thank you. Well, the future isnt looking all that grim as they report they could be getting their first round of vaccines in just a few weeks. Reporter promising covid19 vaccine breakthroughs are lifting some spirits amid the aggressive surge here in San Francisco. Today a u. S. Government official said all americans who will want a vaccine, they will be able to get one by june. Moderna will apply for their use with the fda as the latest Study Results confirm the shots to be nearly 95 effective. To be able to get the results that we have seen today, certainly a feeling of relief and excitement about the impact. Reporter this comes just one week after asking for authorization for their vaccines, data also showing a strong protection. But today the governor tweeted that they are set to receive 327,000 doses in mid december. I feel hopeful that things can start getting back to normal. Its just kind of like with this whole pandemic, like it will be a big thing. It could take the world, and the nation to all have, you know, similar mindset. Reporter tonight next to the citys covid test site on the embarcadero, the Street FoundationChristmas Tree lot was buzzing with holiday cheer. I know that a lot more people have been coming out to get Christmas Trees early. I know we are hearing thoughts of them shutting down the whole state. So i think people, theyre trying to get out to get their Christmas Tree early, and people, they want a little bit like joy of normalcy. Reporter if approved governors will have ultimate authority about who will get the vaccine first. I think it is definitely a positive, but also the factor of, you know, like having the vaccine as one thing. But then convincing people to take the vaccine is another. Also want to make sure that it is like legit too. I think its important to get it out there. Its out there for those who need it. Reporter in San Francisco betty yu kpix 5. A member of the white houses Coronavirus Task force has resigned. President trumps special adviser on the pandemic, dr. Scott atlas will step down this week.

Well people across the bay area out thousands of dollars after their edb debit cards were hacked. How the cards will profit both the banks and the cards. Plus, teenagers, getting repetition tonight. Similar conditions tomorrow. A look ahead for the first half two transactions for a thousand dollars each. My mother lost 4,806. How about you, paul . 5,998. A man fighting to even get unemployment has been hard enough for so many people. So imagine how it feels once you finally have money coming in to see it all stolen out of your account. Kenny choy was the first to expose the massive fraud problem. Issued by bank of america. Kenny, whats the very latest . Reporter as of tonight kpix 5 has received calls and e mails from more than 60 people who said their ebt debit cards were hacked and lost thousands of dollars. The state may be doing a runaround federal law by pushing people into using the cards in the first place. Yeah, i sort of shouted out. Oh my gosh. Almost all my unemployment has been basically hacked. Reporter that was brooks reaction a few weeks ago. Two charges one for 1,500 and another for 1,200 had wiped out her account. She was on hold for hours two days straight before she was finally able to file a claim. And she is still fighting to get all her money back. It feels like bank of america isnt taking this seriously. Reporter brook reached out to us after seeing others caught in the same. We have received more emails, everyone crying out for help. How many of you have lost money to fraudsters in your accounts . 1,000. Two transactions of 1,000 each. Yeah, my mother actually lost 4,806. What about you, paul . 5,998. Reporter everyone in this group lost their jobs because of the pandemic. And i have a son. Im a widow, i have three kids. Reporter but they say trying to get bank of america to help is impossible. Just like everybody else was on hold, called again. Can i put you on hold . Click. I actually went into the bank myself twice to try to get help in person. And they were oh, we dont want to touch it. Dont talk to us, call the number on the wall. Reporter and they say once you do get through. Basically what they do is they try to make you feel guilty saying no, no, this is a valid withdrawal. Reporter even though they believe all the transactions had obvious red flags. It happened at two atms miles away from me in the middle of the night. I said how did i make two transactions in san diego and arizona within minutes of each other . Reporter despite providing evidence, victims say they did nothing for them. I sent in my police report, receipts that i used that same day that they were withdrawing. Money taken out of atm machines with cameras behind those atm machines, right . And instead of filing claims they got letters like this one saying the above listed claim has been closed. And that letter was dated the 20th. I didnt make the claim until the 19th, so nothing was investigated. Reporter you may request that we reopen your claim, but that too seems to go nowhere. I actually called this morning at 7 00 a. M. She gave me a new claim number, but what use is that if we cannot check the status of that claim . Im not exempt from fraud and that is the time that people are living in, but when you have an institution and they are refusing to do anything about it and the state is aware of it too, thats not fair. Reporter once again they turned down our request for an interview. They wont tell us how many customers have been affected or if they will ever get their money back. The bank cannot just deny claims that they know are probably fraudulent. Reporter Lauren Saunders says the real problem is forcing people to use the debit card. That as we have reported does not have a security chip. She says the department may be doing a runaround federal law by offering paper checks as an alternative option. What they will do is force people where you will have a right to choose how you receive your unemployment benefits. Reporter the exclusive contract may have something to do with it. Its a revenue assuring agreement to give them the funds to distribute and they pay them for the privilege of handling the money, so it will be profitable. That is a part of the reason why they are pushing people into using these cards. I dont understand why they would have this long standing contract with ebt. Dont give up. There is protection under that visa logo that they will put on that prepaid card. So it is prepaid, but i will get my money back. Im not going to stop. Reporter ebt told us if the fraud is happening on the card, it is up for them to resolve it. When we asked them about that the answer came back no comment. In Milpitas Kenny Choi Kpix 5. And now kpix 5 has been submitting names of victims that contact us to bank of america. So far 13 got their money back. If your ebt debit card has been hacked, send us an email and we will submit your name as well. And also tonight a high honor for a 14yearold. He is painting who will now be on display in los angeles. That is tyler gordon, painting harris with the Golden Gate Bridge as his backdrop. The video went viral, ultimately earned him a call as a thank you. Tyler who is partially deaf calls harris an inspiration amid all the medical challenges he has overcome. She inspires me a lot. She is one of the first of many, breaking through tons of barriers herself. I have broken through barriers with my stutter, being in a wheelchair for two years. And she is also from the bay area. Yeah, his painting will be displayed in los angeles beginning tomorrow. Hes the youngest included in that exhibit.

Speaking of bright spots, its been a wonderful Holiday Weekend were coming off of. It looks like we will slide into a new week with more sunshine. Right, paul . Yeah, plenty of sunshine. Really the only flaw is that we have some rain. The sunny days are nice on the individual basis, but lets sprinkle in that rain chance. Its just not going to happen any time soon. The dry weather pattern will continue. This big area of high pressure, which means sinking air, just pressing down on us in this type of regime overall.

Taking us through the first half of december and shows a significant chance, not just for the bay area, but most of the western half of the country. And a chance for above average temperatures that will take us through the first half of the month as we head further. Still hope for some rain here and there. Temperatures are dropping off, but 40 degrees on the nose already. Youll be in the chilly spot with those temperatures above freezing, inland with low to mid40s. But a nice warm up in stored, so it is dry air, but it will heat up once the sun will come up with limited sunshine. Temperatures tomorrow, a few degrees above average. Reaching up into the 60s, except right along the coast in the upper 50s. Low to mid60s with mid to upper 60s with temperatures a couple degrees warmer. Low to mid60s for the central bay and the north bay. All these temperatures are above normal for early december and the same thing further north for mendocino and lake counties. Not a lot of change whether it will be temperatures or cloud cover. Maybe a few fair weather clouds for sunday and monday. But the dry weather will continue for the foreseeable future. Dennis .
