through direct touch thankfully ucsf infectious diseases expert dr. monica. gandhi says, it does not pose as much of it the general population should not be worried about monkeypox. this is a really different virus than covid a person is most contagious when showing symptoms highlighted by a distinctive rash and lesions. symptoms include fever headache fatigue and muscle aches mortality is very low. this is a much more mild infection than what we used to see with smallpox and the health risks are really the fever the rash takes about two to four weeks to and most all these cases so far have done very well locally santa clara county tells us that no cases of monkeypox have been identified at this time if you show symptoms you are asked to contact your doctor dustin dorsey abc 7 news. okay, let's get to our covid headlines now california's seven-day test positivity rate is up to 6.6% up from 5% last week. the cdc says covid patients who experience recurrence of

in dallas and open their team can sweep their way to the nba finals. let's check out some of those highlights from game 3 and talk about this all-important game for the warriors have a 3-0 series lead over the mavericks can pick up their first playoff sweep since 2019 when they took out the blazers in the western conference finals in nba playoff history teams with a 30 series lead or a perfect 146 no go on to win the series. no one is lost. holding this type of lead. so history definitely on the warrior side a win tonight would give the warriors more than a week of rest before the nba's finals start next thursday right here on abc 7, but one men remain one win remains, excuse me before they can return to that stage. we have to be locked in and focused just like we were in game three when we got off to a really good start and we set a good tone. we know how dallas how dangerous dallas is how well they play at home? they're i think more likely tonight to to make some shots early and and get off to a good start and we we need to be

prepared. we need to be on edge nothing else matters. closeout games are very hard. no you think teams are gonna like just lay down. they're not they're gonna go out there and get their best fight and other seasons on the line crowd's gonna be crazy. so it's just tough to win on a roll so we learn from our previous two series that it takes a heightened focus, you know, can't just go into the game like you did last game. it's gonna be even more difficult and hopefully we learn from our last two series we weren't able to close it out in a row if we can make that next step. and you've seen over time here on abc 7. we've been covering these watch parties since game one of the very first round and they've continually grown 4:30 the gates open. i want to remind everybody this first come first serve it will be packed here later tonight when you see me the next time on our sportscast dan and liz, let's send it back to you. it's gonna be a fun night here. it is gonna be dive city. it's gonna be a really fun night chris glad you could be there for us. thank you so much. so it's going to be packed down their list. the question is, what will the weather be like? yeah, it seems like maybe it's really hot in the inland.

areas with that kind of makes it perfect for san disco, it really is it will be comfortable like 75 degrees at five o'clock, but then it will drop down into the 50s under mostly sunny sky and you'll have that. out there, so you'll definitely start off with maybe the short sleeves and then need that hoodie or blanket by the end of the game. alright, here's a look at santa cruz. i mean, i think i see some people walking around. with some hoodies on here. is it 64 degrees at the coast with a light breeze that is where we're finding the free. seen the next couple of days clear sky tonight are warmest night of the so if you don't have air conditioning some of you may not sleep too. well tonight just a fair warning not as sunny tomorrow, but the inland still remains pretty hot and for thursday, we've got that dramatic drop in temperatures as the sea breeze takes. or anywhere from 8 to 18 degrees cooler by thursday until then we still have to worry about our red flag warning till 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. i don't know county so far a pretty quiet event thankfully humidity levels actually coming up just a little bit they were down. single digits in dixon in

vacaville an hour ago now we're up to 11% that's a little bit of an improvement and the winds are only gussing up to about 20 miles per hour. so as a red flag warning goes this one's been pretty tame. here's a look at your fire index and notice we're pegging yellow, which is high. we don't see any very high do not see extreme. and nor will we during the overnight hours? we actually lose the yellow and the high and then it just goes away for the tomorrow also and then that's it. more fire danger for a while. alright, let's talk about what's going on with this high pressure. it's going to hang around one more day with that slide offshore breeze that's bringing the inland areas so much warm, but look at this nice seabreeze around san francisco and the coast keeping you from overheating fact 61 at the coast down to 55 by 10 o clock. look at this sunset at 8:20. we're still in the 80s inland. we'll be finally out of the 80s by nine o'clock, but still in the 70s through midnight for a lot of us places like antioch only drops down to 68 57 in oakland. the one that san jose 56 at san jose or santa rosa and also

around san francisco. let me show you what's going to happen tomorrow. it's clock no clouds and look at this as we head into the the afternoon hours you can see the marine layer trying to take over and look as washes inland as we head into the evening hours and that's when the dramatic drop begins. in fact san francisco tops out in the mid 70s right around lunch. but by the time we get to six o'clock you're down to about 64 degrees. all right, so let's take a quick look at your microclimates. we've got low to mid 90s in the south bay we go from 80 in millbrae to 90 in redwood city. we'll be in the mid-upper 60s along the coast with mid-upper seventies around downtown south san francisco and sausalito load the mid 90s up in the north bay east bay 79 at richmond. 81 and fremont and as we head inland 95 to about 100 degrees my accuweather seven day forecast. look at that eight degrees cooler to 18 from the coast to inland thursday, and then we'll be average of not a little bit below average of morning clouds a little bit of afternoon sunshine and a few high clouds temperatures pretty close to average this holiday weekend, dan. okay, very good mike.

today this terrible tragedy in texas and and how parents can talk with their kids about an event like this as they begin to hear about it today. what advice would you give? oh, it's just awful. yeah, you know that this is it on top of the last two years, you know to go through something like this time and time again, it's really it's it's incomprehensible. i think, you know children need to be reassured that they are safe although understandably events like this cast out on that and that that children need to know that that the adults in their life. protect them and that this is very unlikely to happen to them. but the fact that happens. all is is distressing to all of this. of course. i know we should always try to be as honest as we can with our kids, but it depending on the age i suppose andrew how much information should you share with them about?

happened today in texas yeah, clearly the younger a child is probably the less specific the information needs to be with with older children and teenagers. of course, they're they're going to have access to their own information. and so to pretend as if this isn't happening is not is not going to be well received by teenagers who are seeking out their own information. yeah, that makes sense and then it becomes a trust issue with your parents. well, let's let's talk more broadly for a few minutes. we often talk about mental health as though it's a clear and tangible thing that we all know about but when we refer to mental health, what are we really talking about? yeah, so, you know we can think of this in a couple different ways. i mean we can certainly be mental wellness, which would be the ability to do the things that matter to you in your life in a way that that brings you satisfaction and meaning and you know, a lot of the things that that we're that do that for us such as having a routine doing

meaningful work being around other people taking care of our bodies. those are all things have been disrupted. last two years of the pandemic so it's it makes perfect sense that that many people are feeling the strain from that and we're and we're seeing that the outcome of that in the form of increased mental health problems as really sort of tailing indicator of the impact of a pandemic now that we're out of some of the worst parts of the the covid pandemic we're seeing the aftermath which is mental health outcomes and things such as depression are much more happening in a much higher rate than they were before the pandemic and particularly the younger people. we're seeing this significant impact in teenagers and young adults. yeah, i've been surprised actually how much how strongly it's affected young people as much as any other group. i want to ask you about.

you know this business of trying to get help trying to identify when you need help. what are some of those signs that would indicate, you know, maybe i need to talk with someone or maybe my husband. her wife does or partner or kid? what are what are the indicators that maybe something more serious is going on. yeah, i i think we've all had the experience of feeling nervous or feeling down and and that doesn't necessarily mean that somebody has an anxiety disorder or depression in in those conditions. the symptoms are more significant and they interfere with our ability to function and in roles such as going to work or going to school taking care of our kids and they also incur. and endure for a long period of time so, you know, we've all certainly in the last couple. years had an anxious day or a down day, but that doesn't necessarily make for depression, but when those symptoms persist day after day and the impact our

ability to function in those important roles, that's when it might be helpful to get some some additional help. okay, just be honest with yourself and people, you know and really pay attention to what's going on with you. all right, andrew. thank you great information andrew penn psychiatric nurse practitioner andrew. thanks a lot. thanks for having me. all right now to find an ally to help care for your mental health check out some local resources by going to abc7news.com/take action. all right gas prices they are skyrocketing and a tiny baseball player has some great moves. work for all those and more coming up next. dining including takeout with chase freedom unlimited. that's a lot of cash back. are you gonna stop me? uh-oh... i'm almost there... too late! boom! earn big time with chase freedom unlimited with no annual fee. how do you cashback? chase. make more of what's yours.

warriors are about 350 miles north of the school where that school shooting happened this afternoon. they're getting ready to play in game 4 of the western conference finals in dallas golden state head coach steve kerr as he often does spoke to the media

media about the shooting just moments ago. going to talk about basketball. nothing's happened with our team last six hours. we're going to start the same way tonight. any basketball questions don't matter. since we left shooter on 14 children were killed 400 miles from here. and a teacher and in the last 10 days we've had. elderly black people killed in a supermarket in buffalo, we've had asian churchgoers killed. in southern california, and now we have children murdered at school when are we going to do something? i'm tired. i'm so tired of getting up here and offering condolences to to the devastated families that are out there. i'm so tired of the excuse me. i'm sorry. i'm tired of the moments of

silence enough. there's 50 senators. right now who refused to vote on hra, which is a background check rule that the house passed a couple years ago. it's been sitting there for two years. and there's a reason they won't vote on it to hold on to power. so i ask you mitch mcconnell asked all of you senators who refuse to do anything about the violence in school shootings. supermarket shootings i ask you are you going to put your own desire for power ahead of the lives of our children and our elderly and our churchgoers because that's what it looks like. it's what we do every week. so i'm fed up. i've had enough we're gonna play the game tonight. but i want every person here every person listening to this to think about your own child or grandchild. other father or sister brother,

how would you feel if this happened to you today? we can't get numb to this. we can't sit here and just read about it and go well tell a moment of silence. yeah, go dubs, you know. come on now. let's go. that's what we're going to do. we're gonna to go play a basketball game. and 50 senators in washington are going to hold us hostage. you realize that 90% of americans? regardless of political party want background check universal backgrounds 90% of us. we are being held hostage by 50 senators. in washington who refused to even put it to a vote despite. what we the american people want it won't vote on it because they want to hold on to their own power. pathetic i've had enough. that's just a few minutes ago. steve kerr's passion. outrage he's commented so many times liz as we know on different issues. a and he is well informed as

well as well spoken i have chills listening. yeah, i agree it is so is it means a lot to see him use his platform and he does this time and time again, but to continue to use the platform that he has. to say what he did today, and i think he's saying what a lot of us feel right now. i was seeing someone say don't say it's an unimaginable tragedy. it's not an unimaginable tragedy. it's imaginable. we've seen this happen time and time again. yeah, and you know, this is why steve kerr is is the leader that he is and so well respected in the nba and elsewhere because he brings intellect everything he does and and heart and passion and i thought was so profoundly moving and so true, isn't it when he said, you know, we're going to go have a moment of silence and then go dubs go mavs. we have done that so many. and of course those moments of silence and the things the vigils and all the things we do are important because they at least let us reflect on what's happened. but at the end of the day, we just sort of move on to the next

and and as he points out tonight, hey, we're all pulling for the warriors here in the bay area. of course. it's a basketball game, you know, and look what's happened at this school today. yeah. it's gonna be hard hard for them to go out. in play, but i appreciate his candidness and as we talk about mental health and trying to end the stigma seeing him tear up there seeing him get emotional. i think that's something important for all of us. i agree and we are waiting for a news conference. so we think within the hour this hour from the community and from authorities there. so we'll take that as just as quickly as we can get it if it happens during this hour and of course coming up. we're also waiting to hear from president biden in about 5:15. this evening, so we'll bring all of that to you as we continue. all right stick with
