Medical e through the winter months, which is why parents should see their kids make sure that their kids are protected as soon as possible. And while there is no vaccine for rsv, doctors say the covid and flu vaccines can help significantly mitigate the risk of infection during this time.

So variants of omicron circulating the United StatesHealth Professionals fear most are caught up on their covid shots and boosters but not their flu vaccine. With flu season on the countrys doorstep, Health Officials are urging americans to catch up on all vaccines. So hospitals have some relief for the holidays. What were seeing this year, which is really unique, is that all the viruses are now coming out all at the same time. All early. And that was mason morrow reporting for us. Fears growing that a nationwide rail workers strike could bring commerce to a halt in the u. S. Costing the economy 2 billion dollars a day. Our washington correspondent Trevor Shirley hpbrings us the latest. And thi potential strike could not come at a worse time just as the Holiday Shopping season is getting started. You may recall we were talking about this several weeks ago back in september when Railroad Workers unions were threatening to strike, then the white house stepped in brokering a tentative deal and thought a strike was averted. But now 2 of those rail workers unions have voted against that agreement. That means a nationwide strike has a serious chance of happening potentially in the middle of november. A Railway Strike means raw goods wouldnt go anywhere and routes for people using transportation like amtrak would be canceled. The white house and lawmakers are now scrambling to keep this from happening as the president has said for months, any shutdown would be completely unacceptable. It is the responsibility of the parties involved to resolve this issue and that in any idea taking this to congress will result in a quicker favorable outcome. Is deeply misguided . That is our view from here. And theres a good chance Congress Want to take up this issue on its own. Once lawmakers get back to washington after the midterms reporting in washington, im Trevor Shirley. Of course, this potential strike.

Im a believer in limited government and the role of the controller is to make sure we have accountability and transparency for every dollar we spend. And thats going to be my focus in office. But chen is running against democrat malia cohen. Its been a heated race at times which and arguing that cohen is unfit for the job because of her financial history. Cohen has said that chen lacks the political experience to serve. Across for, of course, is your local election headquarters. And according to a recent Oakland Chamber of commerce poll. The oakland mayors race is neck and neck between candidates Lauren Taylor and shane town with razor thin margins. Kron fours terisa stasio spoke with a political expert about the candidates strategies. Its an awesome day to stand with the leaders. That are assembled here for the future of our communities in our city, bringing out heavy hitters such as former oakland city councilmember lynette mcelhaney. And other community activists, candidates Lauren Taylor and treva reid joined forces on wednesday publicly encouraging their supporters to close the circle on rank choice, voting, helping to improve the odds that one of them will be calm elected as oaklands new mayor next month. For those who have watched. The council. You know that this alliance isnt new our partnership and are working collaboratively for the community that has been consistent since before we both came into office. And and we know that our community, as it was said to say what we do in this election. We get bar boats. How does this strategy work where how we actually effect change. And oakland ranked Choice Voting allows voters to delineate other choices following their top pick. For example, what don one, the most firstplace votes back in 2010, but not a majority. Jean quan picked up second and 3rd choice votes allowing her to win the mayors race. Both of them are making a big bet that if either one of them drops out the bulk of those votes going to the other person could give them enough to either survive to the next round or even win outright. So the deal between taylor and read. Makes sense conference political analyst michael yaki says when candidates share common platforms that can be a good strategy to team up such as in the case of taylor and read, but not all candidates are choosing that path. I dont myself much about deals between politicians. Shang town comes in second to the Oakland Chamber poll. She says rather than finding a political partner. She is focused on her campaign and her goals. They are both supported and backed outgoing mayor libby shaft.

Protecting us from any kind of drama coming our way over the weekend. Right . So thats whats keeping us sunny.

Sure, maybe in the north bay, but not likely as we get into monday, though, this is the next system theyre trying to pick up on. I dont know if this will fall apart either going to keep a look an eye on it. But its trying to come in late monday night into tuesday.

And as we head to the end of the year, the bears are preparing for hibernation during the winter months. But some of those bears are getting a little too close for comfort by settling in directly under peoples homes. Dennis shanahan has that story for us. Video on the Bear League Facebook page shows how trained wildlife responders, victim bears from crawl spaces. Wait till they get all the way out. Black bears are instinctively uncomfortable in close proximity to people in this video. Bear League Executive Director and bryant uses words and other noises to coax this bear out of the crawl space where he was getting ready to dan for the winter. Okay. For austin. The blast of noise from an air horn is an act of tough love to scare the animal back into his natural forest habitat. Bryant posted the video to emphasize this is the time of year when black bears are looking for places to spend the winter and these intelligent animals have figured out crawl spaces are prime hibernation, real estate. Its dark. Its quiet. Its out of the wind. No dogs are barking 25 30 years ago, maybe 2 bears were under house and all of tahoe. Now its up to over 100. That are under houses. Every winter in tahoe. Some homeowners. Welcome them. But the bears dont always sleep through the winter so they move around the care they roll around and they snore. They can damage electrical wiring, heat vents, water pipes, and even gas lines. Brain urges homeowners who dont want to 400 pound animal under their floorboards to make sure crawl spaces are tightly secured. And i mean, more than just a little left hook. Secures a little door that opens because one bear has the strength of an entire football team. They look for the possibility of something giving. A push on. Gives a little bit thinner. You know, we might be able to get in here and its going to be its going to be worth it. So its got to be really secure and strong. Many tahoe homeowners are now using electrical fencing and matt surround homes that 3 tell theres without injuring them. So its safe. But its scary. And if the bear touches it, thinking hes going to get in is going to get a one 10 jolt. Hes going to jump run the other way. And that was Dennis Shanahan reporting for us.
