>> Reporter: THEY ARE WAITING ON ANOTHER SHIPMENT TODAY BUT THEY WILL NOT KNOW HOW MANY ADDITIONAL DOSES CAN BE GIVEN TO PATIENTS.

>> SOME PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY BECAUSE ONE PERSON GOT A AND ANOTHER DID NOT.

BUT WE ARE GETTING THINGS GOING AS FAST AS WE CAN.

IF A SINGLE FAMILY MEMBER GOT ONE IT'S BETTER THAN NOBODY GETTING ONE.

>>> GUSTY WINDS ARE BLOWING IN.

AND THERE IS CONCERN.

USUALLY IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS WE WOULD BE OVERWHELMED.

A TRUCK JIM DAVIDSON HAS BEEN BUSY MONITORING WIND SPEEDS AND DIRECTION.

HE SHOT THIS EARLIER TODAY.

THIS IS VIDEO OF DUST MAKING IT HARD FOR PEOPLE TO SEE.

EVEN THOUGH THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO BRING SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS AND 65 MILES PER HOUR WINDS, THAT IS WHAT CREWS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT.

AT A BRUSH FIRE CALL CAME IN WHILE WE WERE INTERVIEWING THEM.

AND ENDED UP BEING JUST A SMALL DEBRIS FIRE.

>> EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT IN A 1 PRONE AREA, YOU WILL SEE HIGH WINDS.

>> Reporter: HER BUSINESS IS THERE RESTAURANTS THAT WHEN OUTDOOR DINING WAS ALLOWED, PUT UP TENTS THAT WERE EASILY BLOWN AWAY WITH WINDS.

WIND GUSTS OF 40 MILES PER HOUR WILL ALSO HIT THE COASTAL AREAS.

INSPECT THAT COULD TOPPLE OVER EVEN A LARGE TREE.

>> Reporter: TODAY, A BIG RIG WAS PUSHED OVER ON INTERSTATE 8 NEAR EL CENTRO.

I'M MATT HOFFMAN FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> YOUR FULL WEATHER FORECAST INCLUDING THE CHANCES FOR RAIN IS COMING UP.

>>> ABOUT 1/5 OF SAN DIEGO FIREFIGHTERS ARE OPTING OUT OF RECEIVING THE COVID-19 VACCINATION.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THIS COMES AS THE VIRUS IS SPREADING WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT.

>>> THE 191 FIREFIGHTERS OPTING OUT IN SAN DIEGO MEANS THAT THE DEPARTMENT HAS A HIGHER VACCINATION RATE THAN ITS COUNTERPART.

BUT THE VIRUS IS FINDING EMPLOYEES.

14 PEOPLE WERE IN ISOLATION BECAUSE OF A COVID-19 OUTBREAK IN A DISPATCH CENTER AS A FRIDAY.

AND THAT OUTBREAK IS JUST AS CONCERNING AS ONE SET FIRE STATIONS.

>> WE ARE LIMITED ON THE NUMBER OF DISPATCHERS.

AND IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE DISPATCH CENTER STAYS HEALTHY AND ABLE TO PROCESS CALLS.

>> Reporter: STALL TOOK THE VACCINATION HIMSELF AND SAYS THEY HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY THAT PROMOTING THE SCIENCE.

>> WE NEED FOLKS SAFETY SO THAT THEY CAN RESPOND TO THE CALLS.

IT IS IN OUR BEST INTEREST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO KEEP THEM HEALTHY.

>> Reporter: POLICE ARE NEXT TO GET VACCINATED.

AND A DEPARTMENT SPOKESPERSON DOES NOT KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL DECLINE THE VACCINATION.

>> Reporter: ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WE COULD SEE A MASSIVE AND SWIFT REVERSAL IN IT IMMIGRATION POLICY.

THIS COULD MADE AN EIGHT YEAR PATH TO CITIZENSHIP FOR 11 MILLION PEOPLE LIVING IN THE UNITED STATES.

FOR RECIPIENTS OF DACA, THE PATH COULD BE STREAMLINED FOR THEM TO APPLY FOR A GREEN CARD IMMEDIATELY.

THE PLAN WILL BE SENT TO CONGRESS TOMORROW.

>>> AN ESTIMATED 7000-8000 PEOPLE FROM HONDURAS ARE HOPING TO REACH THE THE BORDER.

GUATEMALAN POLICE BROKE UP GROUPS OF PEOPLE HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION.

HURRICANE TO LOVE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THERE HOMELESS.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR ASYLUM AND TO ENTER THE UNITED STATES AS IN THE YEARS BEFORE THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR THERE WILL BE ANY CHANGE IN POLICY.

>>> LAST YEAR WE TOLD YOU ABOUT A DELIVERY DRIVER THAT WAS ABOUT TO BE REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF PROP 22.

NOW, WE SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS ABOUT A NEW ARRANGEMENT.

>> Reporter: HE HAS BEEN DRIVING FULL TIME FOR DOORDASH .

WE ARE NOT USING THE REAL NAME OF ANDREW BECAUSE HE IS STILL WORKING FOR DOORDASH AND FEARS RETALIATION FOR HIS PEEKING OUT.

AS A GIG ECONOMY DRIVER HE WORKS FOR A NUMBER OF BUSINESSES.

>> I FEEL LIKE THE FLEXIBILITY AND GOING TO WORK WHENEVER YOU WANT TO, IF YOU NEED TO DO THAT WHEN SOMETHING COMES UP, YOU CAN DO THAT.

SOMETIMES IF YOU CALLOUT IT IS A BIG HASSLE.

IT >> Reporter: AS MANY PEOPLE STARTED USING DOORDASH, HE NOTICED OPPORTUNITIES DID STUCK UP WITH OTHER JOBS HE WAS BEING OFFERED.

HE WAS BEING ASKED TO TRAVEL OUTSIDE OF HIS AREA FOR AS LITTLE AS $10.25.

THAT IS SUPPOSED TO COVER THE TIME DRIVING TO THE DESTINATION AND THE GAS COST.

>> ON TOP OF THE DESTINATIONS, YOU ALSO GO INTO THE GROCERY STORE AND YOU HAVE TO GET THE ORDER FROM THEM AND SOMETIMES IT IS NOT READY.

SOMETIMES YOU WAIT AT THE STORE FOR 15 OR 20 MINUTES.

YOU FINALLY GET YOUR CAR LOADED IT UP AND IT TAKES ANOTHER FIVE OR 10 MINUTES TO DO THAT.

YOU DRIVE, UNLOAD ALL OF THE GROCERIES.

AND THAT CAN TAKE ANOTHER FIVE OR 15 MINUTES.

>> OF SUCH OUTSIDE OF HIS SERVICE AREA, HE THEN HAD TO DRIVE BY BACK THERE TO GET ANOTHER JOB.

ANDREW WOULD REDIRECT THESE OFFERS FROM VONS BECAUSE IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE.

>> NOW IF I SEE SOMETHING COME UP FROM VONS I JUST DECLINE IT.

A TRUCK AS VONS STARTED LOOKING AT SWITCHING TO THIRD- PARTY DRIVERS, IT STARTED RAMPING UP ITS USE OF DOORDASH.

, XANDER WAS DECLINING THE JOBS, HIS ACCEPTANCE RATE WAS DECLINING.

HE SAYS THIS INCENTIVIZES SOME DOORDASH DRIVERS TO TAKE JOBS THAT PAY LOW SO THEY CAN KEEP THEIR ACCEPTANCE RATE UP.

>> IF YOU'RE RATES ARE AT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE YOU GET PRIORITY IN DELIVERIES.

YOU GET BIGGER DELIVERIES.

>> Reporter: VONS SAID THE MOVE TO THIRD-PARTY DELIVERY COMPANIES LIKE VONS WILL HELP IMPROVE CREATE A MORE EFFICIENT SERVICE.

THIS IS AFTER THE PASSAGE OF PROP 22 WHICH GRANTED PERMISSION TO GIG ECONOMY.

ANDREW SAYS HE IS NOW GUARANTEED A MINIMUM WAGE FOR THE HOURS HE IS ACTIVELY DELIVERING ITEMS.

HE JUST WISHES THAT COMPANIES LIKE VONS WOULD PAY HIGHER WAGES.

I'M MAX ADLER FOR KPBS NEWS.

>>> WITH SALES PLUMMETING, ONE CHAIN RESTAURANT HAS CEASED OPERATIONS AND SERVICES HAVE PLUMMETED.

THE RESTAURANT EMPLOYEE COUNT HAS DROPPED TO JUST 20 WORKERS.

>> Reporter: MANAGING PARTNER ERIC ADLER SAYS HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE OUTDOOR DINING WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

PLANS TO OPEN A RESTAURANT IN LA JOLLA HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD WHICH MEANS 100 MORE JOBS CANNOT BE FILLED.

>>> THOSE THAT MAKE THEIR LIVING CARING FOR THE ELDERLY HAVE BEEN DOING BACKBREAKING WORK FOR LITTLE PAY.

AT THE PANDEMIC HIT.

ONE WORKER AT AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY TELLS US ABOUT THE EMOTIONAL AND CRUSHING TOLL IT HAS TAKEN ON HER.

>> MY NAME IS LEO.

I THINK THAT BEING A CAREGIVER IS NOT A JOB.

IT IS A CALLING.

YOU SHOULD HAVE THE HEART OF THE PASSION TO DO THE JOB BECAUSE, WE ARE DEALING WITH THE RESIDENTS THAT HAVE MEMORY ISSUES AND THEY TEND TO BE REPETITIVE.

BUT NOW THAT THERE IS COVID-19 IT IS CHALLENGING AND SCARY.

BECAUSE, YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO GET THE VIRUS.

I AM MARRIED AND I HAVE ONE CHILD.

HE IS FOUR YEARS OLD.

SO THAT ALSO ADDS TO MY STRESS AND ANXIETY.

I ALSO HAVE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW AT HOME.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST SAY TO YOURSELF, WHAT IF I DON'T GO TO WORK AND BE SAFE AT HOME.

BUT THEN, YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR JOB.

YOU TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE YOU GO TO WORK AND PRAY AND HOPE AND PRAY AND HOPE THAT WE ARE SAFE.

AND THAT THE RESIDENTS ARE SAFE.

THIS PANDEMIC HAS BROUGHT SO MUCH TO OUR LIVES.

PAIN AND LONELINESS TO THE RESIDENTS.

SOMETIMES I GO INTO THE ROOM OF A RESIDENT AND THEY CRY.

AND I ASK WHY THEY ARE CRYING AND THEY SAY THEY JUST THIS THEIR FAMILY SO MUCH.

I JUST GAVE THEM HOPE THAT SOMEDAY THE VIRUS ON THE PANDEMIC WILL BE OVER.

I AM GLAD THAT THE VACCINATION IS COMING.

AND I HOPE IT WORKS.

TOO MANY PEOPLE DIED FROM THE VIRUS.

I HOPE THIS VACCINATION CAN ERADICATE THIS.

>>> THE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO SUBSIDE AND WE COULD BE IN FOR SOME MORE RAIN.

MARK MANCUSO HAS THE FORECAST.

UP ABOVE 5000 FEET AND ON WEDNESDAY, A SURGE OF MOISTURE COMES UP TO THE DESERTS AND INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

THERE COULD BE A FEW SHOWERS BUT THE BULK OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL BE IN THE HIGH COUNTRY AND LOWER DESERTS.

SAN DIEGO AND OCEANSIDE SEE THAT.

AMOUNT LAGUNA WILL SEE MORE.

WE WILL SEE SEASONABLY HIGH CONDITIONS.
