It is in other parts of the state. As coronavirus cases rise and california reverses plans to reopen, its clear the bay area isnt out of the woods yet. How bad is it . The counties when you look at the entire bay area are not as bad as some of the worsthit conditions, not as bad as los angeles or imperial. Reporter take a lookat this graphic showing daily cases rising in the bay area. On july 10, there were 809 new cases, not including at san quentin. Now compare that to los angeles county. On july 10, they had 2,620 cases, more than three times the bay area. Still, cases and hospitalizations are surging in every bay area county. Even in San Francisco, which is one of the two bay area counties not on the states watch lift, the number of patients in the citys hospitals is nearly three times what it was at the lowest point a month ago. There is also new concern about the reproductive rate, the average number of people that someone who has coronavirus will spread it to. Before the shelter in place, the average number was three, a sign the virus was spreading rapidly. But the shelter in place turned that around, at one point bringing that number in california to as low as 0. 84. But no more. Now californias numbers are about 1. 1, which isnt as bad as other states that are 1. 3, 1. 5. If its above 1, the virus is going to grow. Reporter dr. Wachter says californias success battling the coronavirus can in part be attributed to early action and good habits by all of us. But its also a lot of good luck. I liken this to a vegas casino. You can beat the house for a few hands but eventually the house is going to win. The house is the virus, and we let our guard down. Reporter now, the reproductive rate is something we havent talked a ton about, but it is so important. In San Francisco its 1. 25 right now, an average that is higher than the state average of 1. 1. That is the number that San Franciscos director of Public Health says is keeping him up at night. Live in marin, liz kreutz, abc 7 news. Understandable, when you see those numbers. Liz, we talk about this feeling as if were going back to square one, we know thats not really the case, but talk a little bit about the difference between the surge were seeing now and the surge we saw at the very beginning of the pandemic. Reporter so i talked to dr. Wachter from ucsf about it. He says hes often asked by people did we basically waste march april, and may. He says not at all, because yes, we are seeing surges, the numbers are not going in a great direction, but we are in a different place than we were three months ago. We have contact tracing, we have more testing. Our habits have changed. We wear masks, we social distance. So were better prepared. And were in a better place to deal with these surges because of it. Thats a little bit of reassuring news, dan. That is reassuring, liz, thanks very much, and good perspective on it, thank you, liz. Today on midday live we asked viewers what they thought about the governors decision to roll back reopening statewide. The vast majority, 81 , say it is necessary. 13 say it is unnecessary. Until tin the south bay, so businesses expect to have to shut down tomorrow even though they just reopened yesterday. It is such a tough roller coaster ride. Abc 7 News Reporter chris nguyen spoke to people dealing with the ups and downs. Reporter for marlon rosales, this week was supposed to be the fulfillment of a decadelong dream. We were supposed to open in march. And then we had to shut down for covid. And i thought it was just going to be a month. Then theres a second one, now theres a third. Reporter his boutique gym, the cakery, opened its first members on monday. Touching equipment and being able to use some weight versus free hand dumb bells was huge. Reporter but the celebration was cut short after the governor announced a roll back of the reopening. Salons are among the businesses that must shut down at the end of the night after being open for two days. I was really excited to come in and work out. Its like giving a kid a candy and taking it away, i thought. Reporter next door, at fashion nail spa. Im so happy i was able to get in here. Reporter this san jose resident couldnt believe the news.

Even though the state is pulling back on a lot of activities, in the east bay, Alameda County supervisors voted today to advance reopening plans by filing a variance with the state. Alameda is the only bay area county that hadnt done this yet. Abc 7 News Reporter kris reyes explains why county Public Health officials are behind the move. We were very grateful for the approval process. It was something we had hoped would have been put in place earlier. But were so grateful that the supervises ha supervisors have passed it. Reporter the board of supervisors agreed to provide a letter of support to ask the state to provide a variance. Without that, the governor would have shut down Outdoor Activities in the county including dining. Alameda is just one of two nonvariance counties in the state, meaning their local officials did not have the power to advance their reopening plans beyond the states recommended roadmap. Supervisor wilma chan said it was a hard decision for her to vote yes because shes concerned about enforcement of safety guidelines. The board letter that we have is saying that were still going to be very cautious. But were really doing this right now to continue to permit outdoor dining, and the opening of Outdoor Activities at the oakland zoo. Reporter alameda officers who spoke at the meeting asked for the letter of support from the supervisors, saying the variance gives them flexibility to reopen safe Outdoor Activities. The request comes as Alameda Countys covid19 positive cases number more than 8,000, the highest in the bay area. Dr. Rick moss told the board his team has some insights but not definitive explanation for the numbers. We have a Large Population of essential workers who live in dnse who are back at work relatively early on, and who live in relatively dense housing. Reporter with their yes vote, supervisors asked that Public Health officials pressure local authorities on enforcement. The variance request now goes to the state. Approval could come in a matter of of days. Kris reyes, abc 7 news. And the businesses that are allowed to open or have to be closed depends on where you live.

Governor newsom revealing the earlier release of inmates. Jones says thats not enough. Ive seen grown men crying. Reporter in San Francisco, luz pena, abc 7 news. Keep in mind the outbreak at san quentin is one of the forces thats intensifying the coronavirus situation in marin county. Today we spoke live with the Public Information officer for the county about why the governors announcement yesterday does not mean many changes for marin. We took a more cautious approach to our reopening so it didnt affect us quite as badly as other counties because we didnt have a lot of those other Industries Open yet. Hair salons, barbershops, and bars need to close. Indoor dining had already closed last week because marin county is on the states watch list. Abc 7 news went to marin county today and found businesses are often the ones taking the responsibility to enforce the states mandatory mask rule, whether its putting up signs or simply saying something to a customer that warnnders in witht a face covering, they often find themselves policing the order. Usually a quick remark is enough for most people. We do provide masks for the public. People should be accountable for themselves, im tired of government always being accountable for us. In some places in california, you can face a fine if caught not wearing a mask. In los angeles county, for example, it could cost you 300. Starting tomorrow starbucks will require customers to wear a mask at all of its stores in the United States. In places where there is not a mask mandate, customers will have to use the drivethrough, order Curbside Pickup or choose to have their drinks delivered.

We also have to be able to make a significant number of doses, hundreds of millions of doses just for the United States alone, not to mention the rest of the world. I would say very guarded optimism, but its a good first step. While the shots did trigger the desired reaction, it remains to be seen whether it will prevent people from actually becoming infected.
