Tom, the new wave of instructions threatens the survivability of the restaurant industry. Certainly is. And you know, covid carnage to patients. That mirrors the carnage also taking place with small businesses, particularly restaurants and their employees. In fact, it is really a tale of two different 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 restaurants are saying, without federal aid, they will be gone forever, within six months. Some 3 million employees are out of work, with the industry losing 240 billion in sales this year. Matt haack arena, San Franciscos xp qr restaurant has been able to survive so far. There has been some level of assistance, potentially for businesses but also for for individuals.

With the reclosing of restaurants, the question is going to be, for indoor dining, the question is going to be, really, will that business shifted back to take out for us . Reporter for health officials, this is their reality. U. S. Virus cases are raging out of control to the highest levels ever, with 10. 2 million cases so far. An average of 121,000 new cases a day, hospitals filling or full, icu admissions skyrocketing, and almost a quarter million dead. Also, some businesses, circumventing the rules just to survive. Example, Santa Clara County. We have repeat offenders, when we have willful violation, when we have businesses that are just simply refusing to comply and putting our community at risk we take it very seriously. In almost all cases, the violating businesses are given 1 to 3 days to correct. If corrections are not made, stiff fines of 250,000 to 10,000 are given. In such events, where there is no room for error to occur, we take very seriously. This can be automatic fines. Reporter nonetheless, that remains with two different realities. We look forward to working with you guys so we can get back to what we knew as a normal life before this pandemic. Unfortunately, there isnt really any kind of solution i can just be handed out to all businesses where its going to work. One suggestion, one way to Balance Public Health with disneys survival would be to authorize a set number of indoor seats and a set number of outdoor seats, but without any further closures. With the delivery and pick up business also available, that formula might just give restaurants a way forward reporting live, tom baker, ktvu fox 2 news. Max is a tough situation, tom. Thank you.

The cell phone data from San Francisco and nine other areas to the citys infection rate and found that restaurants were four times more risky than gyms, hospitals and hotels.

Not too bad as we move around the bay. It is cloudy, it has been cloudy all day. Temperatures today, generally, 4 or 5 degrees cooler than yesterday, not hard to do that, it was warm yesterday. 60 degrees in fairfield yesterday. The high bounce, what we were talking about the last couple of nights, the idea that with the clouds coming in, jet streams further south, we are getting teed up here, or it is teeing it up here for some real rainfall. This is not just for friday and saturday, which this looks more pronounced to the north, for the south, but as we go into next week, looks at wednesday and thursday. These are the latest modelruns. These indicate a fairly significant weather event. So, were kind of getting into it. You can feel it as you go outside. It has just got a bite, right . It is winter, getting dark early. I went to, but coming up in winter. You can see the jet stream and you can see all this activity out or almost past the deadline. That is the Aleutian Islands avenue, this is where the storms are born and where they come from. If you see activity like that up there, you go okay, it is getting hot up there and things are starting to cut loose. As a matter of fact, currently, you see this guy kind of cutting loose. As we get it to friday, that whole area is going to drop down. That whole reporter area, that brings us a pretty good shot for showers friday night into saturday. And then, i think a more aggressive opportunity, tuesday into wednesday and thursday of next week. I know we are getting ahead of selves, but we havent had rain and we need rain. This puts the fire danger away, and also does wonders for the air quality. Theres a little bit of green offshore. It is not going to be as cold tonight but it will rain tomorrow.

Reporter this promising news comes as Santa Cruz County moves back into the restrictive red tier of californias reopening plan. Access to a new covenant in vaccine, noel says, is necessary. We know the federal government has already purchased the first 107 million doses of the pfizer vaccine. Reporter and in california, knowles says, the state will determine how to split the 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 subzero freezing, and70 degrees in the freezer. Reporter fortunately for the county, uc santa cruz is able to help. They have a lot of 70 degrees freezer capacity, which is otherwise not present in this community. So, they would be a very important partner, in terms of seeing storage and transportation.

He says, december is a reasonable timeline, we can see the first round of shipments. In giving a 90 efficacy that the data will be pretty robust and encouraging. I know that they have planned to have a certain amount 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. Again, we are hopeful that once he gets here, and will be distributed equitably to those in need. Healthcare workers and First Responders will likely be the first to get the vaccine, followed by people who are at high risk of coming up after the break, we have election coverage. 15 was officially defeated today.

Reporter opposition 16, which would have reintroduced affirmative action as a consideration in hiring and contracts at the state level, also lost at the polls. Experts say, this represents politics were not a shift away from progressivism.
