Well, two important aspects of the ongoing pandemic, preventing the spread of the virus and limiting the economic damage continue nobody conflict this afternoon across much of the country, including right here in the bay area. Tom vacar joins us live this afternoon, and this new wave of restrictions threatens the very survivability of the restaurant industry. Well, the whole fact is this cannot go on forever. Some accommodations will have to be made. Covid carnage to patients mirror s the carnage to small businesses, restaurants and their employees. It is a tail of two realities. According to the National Restaurant association, this is their sobering reality. 100,000 restaurants, 1 in 6, closed forever or long term. 40 of the remaining restaurant ours saying theyll be gone in three months without any help. 240 billion in lost sales this year. One Business Owner we spoke with has been able to survive so far. There has to be assistance for businesses and also for individuals. Reporter but with counties toggling back and forth with what restaurants can and cannot do, it may be insurvivable. The question is going to be really will that business shift back to takeout for us. Havent for Health Officials, this is their reality. U. S. Virus cases are raging out of control to their highest levels ever, with 10. 2 million cases so far, an average of 121 tow new cases a day. Hospitals filling or full. Icu admissions skyrocketing, and almost a quarter million dead. Also some businesses circumventing the rule just to survive. An example . Santa clara county. When we have repeat offenders and will of violation, and businesses simply refusing to comply and put our community at risk, we take it seriously. Reporter there almost all cases, the violates businesses will be given 1 to 3 days to correct. If corrections are not made, stiff fines of 250 to 10,000. In cases like super spreader events, where there is no room for this airer to occur, we take it very seriously, and these can be zero grace periods, atow mattic fines. There remain two different realities. Through is not any kind of solution that can just be meted out all businesses where its going to work. Now it appears one way to Balance Public Health with business survival would be to authorize a set of numbered indoor seat a set of numbered outdoor seats. But without any further closures at all, with delivery and pickup businesses also available, that formula might give restaurants some sort of way forward. Tom vacar, ktvu fox 2 news. Until then, tom, boy, these restaurants and others businesses really have a challenge with covid19 restrictions. Gatherings will be limited to no more than 15010 people now starting on friday. Ten people. Restaurants and bowling alleys must close by 10 00 p. M. Starting friday. Governor andrew cuomo said that further restrictions could be made. New york state has had the third lowest Positivity Rate over the past week behind vermont and maine. And. Public Health Officials worry this new surge could be spreading out of control at this point, with all i. C. Es on moderna and pfizer as they release the results of their clinical trials. Reporter the u. S. Has now added a million new coronavirus cases in just 10 days, as this new surge continues to accelerate. There were almost show,000 new cases on tuesday, a record, while hospitalization hit a new peak of 62,000. At least 38 states now experiencing a big spike, including texas, which hate grim milestone tuesday, the first state to confirm more than a million cases of the disease. I think some people have become a little more lax with the precautions that we were following. Reporter Health Officials are now urging the public to get back to the basics when it comes to social distancing, stay hope as much as possible, avoid large gathers, and above all, wear a mask in public. We dont have much time to act to avoid a dangerous hospital surge, and keep our economy go, and keep people at work. Doctors across the country are still banking on a vaccine to help end the outbreak. Moderna, a leading candidate, is set to release their preliminary data later this month, following pfizers announcement this week that their vaccine is 90 effective, possibly complicating the Testing Process for other companies. Split does make things tricky for these other studies, in one comes out clearly ahead, you know it, would be really hard to tell everyone that they should arent go out and get the vaccine. The feds will soon distribute a new antibody treatment from drugmaker eli lily approved just two days ago, but supplies of that will be scarce at first. Thats the latest in dallas, casey stegall, fox news. On this veterans day, two world war ii veterans from here in the bay area received a very special flight. Today 100yearold dale, and 105yearold al flew over santa rosa in a world war ii era plane. On dday, one piloted a plane over france, and evacuated hundreds of injured soldiers. The other was a b17 nav gator. The se nva county winery took the men on the flight today to thank them for their service. We spoke to them about what veterans day means to them. Think of all of the guys laughing and jumping, and we would have a glass of wine at night and play some cards, and talked about flying tomorrow, and what happened today, but some of them didnt come back, and and a few days later, and thats what im think about now, just i think about it often. Two remarkable men. It was a very emotional day for both of them. They said it was also an incredible experience to be back there in the sky. While some veterans do fall on hard times once they leave the service, many others find success as civilians. Rob roth smoke with one marine who now owns one of the largest veteran owned businesses in california. Rob . Heather, we spoke with one very successful bay area businessman who said without the military, he wouldnt be where he is today. Its kind of an emotional day. Reporter for exmarine jason, veterans day is a time to reflect. Recognizing the sacrifices and, yeah, makes it pretty somber. Reporter he spent 14 years in anyway reasons beginning in 1990 upon having Ground High School in pleasanton. Being around people who have been injured, especially a double amputee. Reporter he went into the Construction Business with his father, and now owns and runs allied Construction Services based in livermore. Its the second largest vet region owned business of any kind in the bay area. He has 67 employees. Grateful. Ive had a great team along the way. Reporter he credits what he learned in the marines for monday of his success with building up his company, which concentrates on emotionalling construction roofing. Theres and marine corps core valleys, integrity, thats huge, and in business is so thats huge. He said he hires veterans when he can, and also knows when so many of them leave the service, they fall into addiction and homelessness. And i would love to see more outreach and more opportunities for them. I think the Mental Health is huge, and i dont think we pay enough attention to that. But on this veterans day, this former marine honors those who served and feels fortunate for how everything has fallen into place for him. Definitely without the marine corps, core values, i dont know if i would be here today. I think they have been really a big part of how i approach business and managing. And california has the most businesses owned by businesses in the United States. Heather . Yeah, and thats a distinction that all of us here in california should be very proud of, and a debt of gratitude to jason and all of the other Service Members on this veterans day. Rob, thank you. The Hornet Museum held its annual veterans day ceremony today. It was held on board the Aircraft Carrier decked in california. A wreath honored those lost as sea. We recognize that this year is different than other years, but that doesnt mean we dont get together and celebrate the things that are worth celebrating, one of which is paying tribute to all veterans, past and present, who took an oath to support and defend this great nation. Todays ceremony was also streamed online for those who could not attend. And coming up next, we already have some promising news about a vaccine that seems to work, and now we know when some Northern California counties may be receiving their first batch. And in bay area weather, quite a few clouds for today. Get ready for another chilly night as we head into your thursday morning, and eventually, were talking about some rain clouds. Well have the updated forecast coming up. Well, this week we learned that pfizers covid19 vaccine potentially more effective than experts thought. At least through phase 3 of the trials. And now for the first time, a Northern CaliforniaHealth Department says it looks forward to getting that first shipment of the vaccine in december. Reporter Kyla Linville talked to Santa Cruz CountyHealth Officials about the plans being made for that first shipment. They have a 90 efficacy rate. And thats huge. We were expecting it to are to be more like 50 . Reporter this as santa cruz moves back into the restrictive red tier of californias reopening plan, but she said this is a ten forward. We know that the federal government has already purchased the first 100 million doses of pfizer vaccine. Reporter and in california, she said the state will determine how to split their allotted number of vaccines across all 58 counties. It would be a pretty small number. We know they arrive in batches of 975 vaccines at a time. They have to be kept at sub zero freezing, so a minus 70 degree freezer. Reporter for consider chu natalie for the county, u. C. Santa cruz is able to help. They have a lot of minus 70 degree freezer capacity, which otherwise is not present in this community, and so they would be a very important partner in terms of vaccine storage and transportation. A concern for some, however, is vaccine safety. Dr. Now elsaid review boards and done studies to find this out. These are scientists, and really trustworthy individuals who are going to review and ensure the safety of these vaccines. Again, officials at the santa cruz Health Department tell us that they do expect this first shipment of covid vaccines in december. We are fold that bay area counties should be receiving them at the same time. Lets talk more about this potential rollout with dr. Peter, an Infectious Disease specialist at ucsf. Does this december seem realistic, first of install i think december could be realistic, but it all depends on how the fda looks at the data that pfizer presents after thanksgiving or so. I mean, i think given a 90 efficacy that the data will be pretty row and just encouraging, and i know that they have planned to have a certain a mount of vaccines available, you know, i think they said 40 million by the end of this year. How much of that will go to california will be up in the air, but, again, were hopeful that once it get lease, it will be equitably distributed to those in need. Yeah, i want to talk about those shipments. How large do we think those shipments might be in the beginning, and just who will receive them first . So the National Academy of sciences has already sort of given the blueprint of how they think distribution should go it and kind of goes along the lines that most people would think. In the first group of folks, it probably will be healthcare workers, as well as first responders, and in california, thats about 2 million people, so if we get about, you know, a million vaccines, thats just the first dose of, you know, the series of two that would not target the entire population. The next population will be those with comorbidities, regards of age, as well as older adults in congregate settings like nursing homes. Once those initial shipments are given out, those initial doses are given out, do we know when we might expect the second round of shipments . Its really not clear at this moment, but california is one of 5 regions that have pie lot or kind of been exemplars of how this would occur. Other states include florida, north dakota, the city of philadelphia. So i think if anybody is going to get first dibs at it, hopefully, we have prepared our infrastructure to support it, you know, although there will be challenges like the temperatures, et cetera, i hope that it will be relatively smooth distribution. Again, our Public Health group has always been aligned with our scientists and politicians, so i think everyone works together here, and i would hope that if its going to be smooth, it will be smooth in california. Yeah, lets all hope so. You mentioned temperature here, doctor. We know that this vaccine, you know, it cant be stored in the refrigeration systems found in the typical doctors office. U. C. Santa cruz said it has the type of deep freeze storage that is needed. Does ucsf also have the same sort of storage system, and have you, too, also been notified to be prepared . Yeah, so i think many large academic hospitals and labs have these kinds of ultracold freezers. I even have one in my lab for research, so this is the kind of facilities that most people already have in academic hospitals, but theyre not go knock walgreens or cvs, or its not like the deep freeze that you get your popsicle in. Thats like negative 4, to give you some range of which you really need to get much colder than that. All right, doctor, always a pleasure. Thanks so much for taking the time to talk to us this afternoon. Appreciate it. Thanks so much, heather. Well, bay area weather, quite a few clouds in place, look up to the sky right now. A few breaks in the clouds as well. Today, partly to mostly cloudy. Still somewhat of a cool weather pattern and get ready for another round of chilly. Overnight temperatures as we head into your thursday morning. Take a look at the satellite, as we show you the graphics, and were showing you the clouds moving across a good portion of the bay area throughout the day. As we show you the wider view, green showing up on the radar. Like last night, there is the possibility of maybe some drizzle or a few sprinkles, or some mist or drizzle near portions of the coastline or right around the bay. So in terms of a real storm, not in our forecast just yet. Well check in on some of the current numbers. Right now, lots of 50s. Warm spots, right around 60 degrees out towards santa rosa and napa, and walnut creek in the mid50s. Here is a look at the live camera above san francisco. You can see some of the high cloudover head. A few breaks in the overcast. First thing tomorrow morning, were going to start out your thursday morning already thursday, with partly cloudy skies. We could have some patchy frost, especially up in portions of the north bay, place like santa rosa. So 30s and 40s start out your nurse morning, and in terms of the cloud cover, you can still have some clouds throughout the day on your thursday. As we take this into the afternoon hours, a batch of clouds moving in from the north at 4 00 tomorrow afternoon. Those clouds moving in in advance hover a me tential rainmaker for us. Not a major storm. But still track something fairly good rain chance as we head into friday, especially towards friday night. Well let you know in that will impact your weekend plans.

A venetia Police Officer was on routine cruel patrol when he struck and called pedestrian early this morning on east 2nd street about 2 00 a. M. The officer did not have his lighters sirens on at the time of the collision. He called in the crash on the police radio, and paramedics tried unsuccessfully to revive the victim. The officer is on paid leave as the case is investigated. We want to keep the integrity of the case, so we are not involved in the investigation of the collisionitself. The president of the venetia police union said the officer could Face Department discipline if she found at fault. Sonoma county officials will ask the state for a waver, possibly as early as today to allow more businesses there to reopen. Officials want to factor in thousands of unreport negative test results. The county hopes to exercise a rule that allows counties to move into less restrictive tiers if there is a significant drop in positive tests. Sonoma is the only bay area county that is still in that most restrictive purple tier. And final results show that california vote ares have rejected proposition 15, which would have made changes to the states cap on property tax anyone else updated vote county shows that 52 voted no on prop 15. Since 1978 with the passage of prop 13, california has limited tax increases to 2 a year until a property is sold. Proposition 15 would have changed that, but only for commercial Properties Worth other 3 million. Residential properties would have remained the same. The measure would have generated an estimated 6 well if todd 11 billion a year for schools and government services. And a lawmakers is planning to produce a bill that would decriminal criminalize psychedelic judge, saying they have shown value in treating pfsd and other million conditions. Control of the u. S.

President trump made his first public appearance today since joe biden was declared president elect. Both men are readying for a legal fight. The president continues to make those baseless claims of voter fraud, and his Campaign Said it will continue to fight the result. President elect bidens Transition Team is moving forward with plans to take office on january 20th, 2021. The fundamental issue i see is a question of election integrity, making sure every legal vote is counted. Over the coming weeks, states will begin to certify their election results, and on december 14th, the electors will officially vote on the next president. Control of the u. S. Senate meantime is still undecided, with all eyes on georgia. The state will hold runoffs in january for two seats there. As ray bogan tells us the afternoon, democrat and republican heavy hitters are now headed to georgia to try to campaign for those two senate races. Rarely do people get the opportunity youve been hand, and that is to determine in a nonpresident ial race the very direction of the country. Reporter control of the United States senate will be decided january 5th in georgia, during a dual runoff election. 50 republicans and 48 democrats is the balance of power presently, meaning the gop needs one one, democrats need booth. The closely watched races put republican incumbents up against democratic challengers. Republicans are focusing on socialism. The road to socialism does not run through georgia. Reporter democrats are focused on healthcare. I will continue to demand that senator perdue explain his indefensible support for these efforts to destroy access to healthcare for his own constituents in the middle of a pandemic. Reporter both sides are bringing in outside help. I expect a lot of us are going to be going to georgia next week. Reporter andrew yang tweeted i am pumped to get down to georgia. A lot of energy and enthusiasm is coming with us. Even president elect biden hinted he could campaign there. Were going to do anything we can, that they think we can do to help. Reporter there is one more Undecided Senate seat in california. Governor gavin newsom will have to appoint someone to replace Kamala Harris when she becomes Vice President. All right. Lets talk more about the election and its aftermath with dr. Lauren wright, a lecturer in politics at princeton university. Dr. Wright, thanks so much for joinings. Thanks. Nice to be with you. So there is so much to talk about. We can talk about the transition, about the senate races, recounts, legal battles. I guess my question right now is if you had to pick a headline, because there is so much to talk about, what story, what issue do you think sat the forefront that america should be watching most closely in this moment . Well, to me it really is those two senate races in georgia that were just mentioned, and they are actually connected to the president s claims of voter fraud. I actually think there is an argument to be made politically the sooner the president moves on and concedes, the easier it will be for republicans to make the argument that they need these two senate seats, they need to energize vote voters to have some say over the legislative process. So i dont see you know, we could there are so many arguments to make about the politics of it, and norm atively how it doesnt look good for a democratic country, but i think the president is in his in his own way, and those two senate seats are important, because he will not have a second term. The sooner he moves on, think the quizzer for his republican colleagues. Its already close, obviously were in a runoff situation. Where does this go and who has the upper hand going into this . You could say democrats have momentum, but republicans also have something to argue for to say, look, this is a way to keep it balanced should we not prove voter fraud, so that president elect biden be inaugurated in january as we all expect. Who has the upper hand right now . Well, democrats i think have a very high bar. It is a traditionally conservative state. Right now, yes, democrats are leading in polls, but weve seen that those have not been as reliable as we hoped this year, and there are lots of reasons for that uncertainty. Lots of improvements that have to be made. And one of them is you dont exactly know who is going to vote if that election. Basing a lot of those polls out from general election voters or people who we dont know for sure will turn out. And so i would just say theres really nothing to take for granted here for republicans, but for democrats, two seats, that would be a very, very difficult win. Not up possible, but very difficult. So you mentioned that you were saying the sooner President Trump concedes this election. Sit doesnt look like thats going to happen, at left a anytime soon. Right. And theres been a lot of discussion about this trains, you know, joe biden says i dont need to the gsa to officially move us into this. Were going forward. But really how long does this go on, you know, in your perspective, before it really becomes problematic as we get into stem and then certainly the early part of january . Well, i do think its already problematic from the standpoint that the world is watching, and just in general, if we have a country where if your team loses and you see the suspect as illegitimate and in your team win, you see it as legitimate, thats a very difficult thing to come back from, and we also cant have a country where someone loses an election and they just declare widespread fraud, without substantial evidence of any kind, and the results change. No one wants to live in a society like that. And so i do think its problematic from that standpoint. Youre right that were in a unique situation. Joe biden has so much experience, he doesnt need a tour of the table. From a National Security perspective, it really is safer to get him on board sooner than later, and i hope that the president recognizes that sooner than later. I think well be looking at so many different elements of this election, all of its parts. What will we learn out of this portion, this postelection preinauguration way of hour we do business in the United States, in terms of what might need to change to allow for smoother transitions, whichever side youre on . Well, we have learned in the past from really rocky transitions that you need resources and you need the early support of the outgoing administration, and thats exactly what happened when the clinton to bush transition, it was so messy, that the Bush Administration said were never going to do this again, and then the bush obama transition was one of the smoothest ever. So we do rock back and forth, but weve never really quite seen anything like President Trump before. And so i would hope that people watching dont assume just because joe biden knows the rules of the road and he has enough knowledge of the inner workers of government, were going to be fine, thats not a good assumption to make. We want to make sure we have smooth transitions in this country, where both leaders come together, even if they vehemently disagree and talk about the future. Thats hopefully the direction every wants to see. Yep. Well, it will be interesting to watch how this takes its turns in the next days and weeks and the next couple of months to come. Dr. Lauren wright at princeton, university. Thanks so much for your time. We appreciate it. Thank you. Obey the rules, respect your neighbors.

He is a lead are with a devilish sense of humor. Married for 65 years. When i think about it, i think its great. [ laughter ] reporter roy has seen it all. A Staff Sergeant in world war ii, stationed at pearl harbor for two and a half years. And left hawaii just weeks before the bombing, and ended up as a tail gunner on a bomber. We got hit by an anti aircraft. We got hit. And i was in the tail, and i crawled up into the waist, and the pilot said bail out, because the number two enjoin caught on fire. They started shooting at us as we were coming down. Luckily, they missed me. When i landed, i landed outside of a little town, and there was a german soldier came running at me, the first thing i heard he said in german speaking in Foreign Language for you the war is over. Reporter nine of his 10b 17 crewmates survived the crash and all were trucked north to a treia as p. O. W. s before the war ended. When he was a prisoner of war, he just had to accept life for 16 months in prison camp, and he said the germans always surprised by americans because they laughed and joked, and they didnt get that. And i thought that was certainly symbolic of my dad. Reporter and its that sense of humor that buoyed roy his next 75 years. He loves a good game of dice with his daughters, and that always includes a roman coke, or just sitting on this back porch watching and relaxing. Hes a humble guy, but this birthday has been a big kick. He even got some national attention. Those are pictures of roy schneider, mike ferreras fatherinlaw, who turned 100 on october 15th.

A day to reflect and give thanks and pass along some sage advice for those of us hoping to hit that century mark. Live a clean life, obey the rules, respect your neighbors. Happy birthday, dad before we get to weather, its wonderful to hear those stories, but also so important to hear those stories, as well, a great report from frank today. Ill show you this as we talk about weather. Were showing you rain forecasted here in Northern California, if the bay area. Bunch of zeros, but look what happens. We put this into motion. You can see those greens and all sorts of colors showing up. The key headline here, a lot of rain up here north of the bay area, not so much this to the south and in between. Well tick up some amounts, but in terms of extreme amountors powerful system, really not in the forecast just yet, but still moderate rain especially if the north bay. Quick update on a very active tropical season. This is Tropical Storm eta. You can see winds checking in about 70 miles an hour, moving affect about 12 miles an hour. Very close to hurricane status. Once the wind speeds reach 74, this becomes a hurricane. The forecast track over the next few days, looks like were talking about a landfalling system, possibly as a Tropical Storm, as we head into thursday. So very close to tampa right now, and on its track of making that inland push as we head into thursday. Out. Across the west, scattered high clouds out there. Today one of those days where we have partly cloudy skies and mostly cloudy skies. As we come in closer, backing up the maps, were showing a little bit of some green, just offshore. So just like last night, there is a chance we could have some drizzle or maybe some mist, especially coastside, and right around the bay, as we still have moisture moving in from the pacific. Well check in on some of the current numbers out there. Right now, lots of 50s, and a few spots around the 60degree mark. So somewhat of a cool afternoon, and temperatures overnight will be cooling off, as well. The 30s to the 40s. In fact, well show you some more current temperatures. Here is our live camera looking out toward the golden gate bridge, showing a few breaks in the clouds, as well. Overnight lows in mainly in the 30s to 40s. A bit of a chill in the air, first thing tomorrow morning, and napa, we could have patchy frost some 40s are new the coast and near portions of the bay. Here is that camera once gain, well well show you some of the currents numbers out there. Livermore 56, and san jose in the upper 50s, 59. So it has been a cool week. Remember last thursday, not too long ago, we had temperatures in the 70s and 80s, and behind this cooler weather pattern, we actually have a frontal band, and this will be the next chance of a few showers as we head toward friday. Especially by friday evening. Here is the forecast model. You can see thursday, were going to thicken the clouds into the afternoon hours, and then into friday morning, start to dry. By the afternoon, we bring in a chance of some rain, especially in the north bay, and then by friday evening, we bump up those rain chances in the bay area, friday night to early saturday morning. A slight chance into your saturday, but looks like most offing your weekend should be dry. So in terms of a real major soaker, not showing up just yet, but still moderate rainfall coming in. Hes tomorrow in the 30s to 60s. Once gain, that rain cloud into friday night, slight chance saturday, and then looks like a dryer and parmer pattern by saturday and sunday. Coronavirus cases spikeing. In europe, it is over worse, 280,000 cases every day. Up next, another potential vaccine, this time from russia, and its showing positive results. Also coming up in a few minutes at 5 00, just how riskry is Indoor Dining . Well tell you about the new stanford study that shows it could one of the most dangerous activities when it comes to the coronavirus. And honoring veterans during the pandemic. The socially distanced parades held today in the east bay. Those stories and more coming up at 5 00. Satchel paige was still minating batters at 59. Celia cruz was still winning grammys at 77 john wheeler illuminated our ideas of the universe at 70 and roger crouch was 56 when he first went into space your best is yet to come 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. Officials in europe expect new infections to rise even further heading into the winter months. As greg shows us, the surge comes in as we grow closer to getting a vaccine. New coronavirus cases are surging once again in europe with roughly 280,000 per day. Accounting for more than half of new infections worldwide. Fatalities are also on the rise. France, spain, italy, and russia, recording hundreds of deaths daily, and officials fear this second wave could be even worse than the first. It happens during a less fortunate time of year, in the winter months, which means we will have to deal with this for the whole, iter. Curfews on hot spot cities including florence urin. Were seeing that we will be able to deal with two or three months. It takes longer, were be in a tough situation.
