their call to ending their cruise early. >> using all kinds of safety measures. >> reporter: johnson and her husband boarded the ship on february 21st for a hawaiian cruise. she said some of the people on her cruise stayed over from the previous mexico cruise that the two coronavirus patients were on. >> asking anyone who was on the first cruise who is still on board to stay in their cabins until they get checked by the ship's doctors. >> every day this situation is evolving rapidly, and we're in new territory with each new situation and new development. >> reporter: cdc spokesman scott pauley said that the cruise ship will come back to port in san francisco, and passengers will be screened for coronavirus. >> at this time i don't know who's going to be testing them or who will be testing them, but that will be decided before they come back to the port. >> reporter: so, theresa hasn't noticed anyone who is sick on

>> reporter: it's in labs like this one where a team of scientists and engineers are trying to speed up a drug to battle covid-19. with lives at stake they believe a process they've developed could be timely. it uses artificial intelligence to determine what molecules are the best to test to stop the virus from entering human cells. robotics helps to reduce the labor-intensive evaluation of those molecules allowing the work to be done 24 hours without human intervention. >> our software is able to come up with ways to synthesize that compound. and we are working on making key building blocks for producing that material. >> reporter: sri biosciences will be using artificial intelligence from ectos. a key focus will be adapting existing antivirals such as the anti-malarily drug to see if

they can stop covid-19. >> there's some evidence that those same mechanisms might be applicable to covid-19 so we are directly pursuing taking some of our compounds that have been shown to be effective against ebola and testing whether or not they might be useful for covid. >> reporter: once they identify a molecule, the lab's system can also help guide researchers how to step up supplies of the test drug. >> this is exactly the kind of research and development that goes on in silicon valley that in this case could be perfectly timed to address covid-19. in menlo park, dan louie, abc7 news. doctors in the east bay are preparing to treat coronavirus patients. today abc7 news reporter laura anthony takes us inside a local airborne isolation room. it's a story you'll see abc7 news. >> reporter: in contra costa county, they are gearing up for a possible influx of coronavirus patients who may need to be kept completely separate from others

director of the emergency department. >> we have to be prepared to see an influx of possibly sick patients that have this virus, and along with the usual resources that those patients would take, we need to also ensure we have enough protective equipment for our staff and isolation rooms to keep the patient and our staff safe. >> reporter: john muir won't say if they've had confirmed covid-19 patients. but like other bay area hospitals, they're ready. in walnut creek, laura anthony, abc7 news. coronavirus seems to affect seniors more than anyone else. so what's being done to protect people here in the bay area? new at 6:00, chris nguyen is live in san jose with that part of our coverage tonight. chris? >> reporter: hi, dan. health officials here in santa clara county expect more cases to be confirmed in the weeks to come. that is certainly a given, but they are also focused on prevention, especially when it comes to senior citizens.

after billionaire michael bloomberg today dropped out of the race for the democratic presidential nomination, we're keeping an eye on the top three candidates, joe biden, bernie sanders, and elizabeth warren. >> that's right. new results are in from california with 90% of precincts reporting showing how we voted in yesterday's primary. 34% for sanders right now. biden now 25% of the vote. >> well, some people in the bay area had to wait to cast their vote. long lines formed at a number of polling places. maybe you were in one. >> abc7 news anchor liz is in the newsroom. >> reporter: the secretary of state's office says it is way too early to know official statewide turnout. counties have until april 3rd to complete their vote count so it could really be weeks until we know the results. but we are able to get a sense of how things are going, the direction things are going. so here's a look at what we

learned so far. results are in, in the california primary. and vermont senator bernie sanders is the clear winner, leading in nearly every county in the state. but former vice president joe biden isn't far behind. he's also expected to snatch up some delegates, assign the last-minute strategy to consolidate the moderate vote might have worked. >> bernie sanders was on the cusp of sweeping a ton of these delegates. those changes likely would not have happened if it weren't for california being a part of super tuesday. >> reporter: final results could still be weeks away. for instance, inside san francisco's department of elections, thousands of ballots are still being counted. >> we have about 125,000 more ballots to review and process. >> reporter: it's the same across california where same-day voting, vote by mail and provisional ballots all result in an ultra complicated counting process. >> they are challenging elections because of all the different types of ballot cards. >> reporter: not to mention these long lines. here in alameda county, people

waited late until the night to cast their ballot. but what does that say about turnout? san francisco says their turnout might be slightly than four years ago. but alameda and santa clara county says it'll be on par. the state wide turnout will also be similar to 2016. >> our rough projection was about 10 million voters. that would put us a million and a half voters above what we saw in 2016. >> reporter: again those are just projected numbers. if the turnout ends up being low, it also could be for a variety of reasons. both parties didn't have contentious primaries driving people to the polls. and some of those voters could have stayed home. live in the news room, abc7 news. let's bring in "chronicle" insider phil to get his take. >> they are still out there, especially in california. they've got a lot of ballots still to count.

it's interesting, i'm going to go through a couple of terms that we throw around on election night. how many times did we say last night with 100% of the precincts reporting? well, i called the secretary of state's office and said what's that mean? they said, well, actually, phil, let's say placer county has five votes and they call in and say we've counted one, that's one precinct reporting and we're sitting here thinking they are reporting their full. no. they are just saying we are reporting in that we're starting our count and this is what it is. so it's estimated that we've gone through about half of the ballots. and in california as we saw biden comes in second behind bernie sanders in terms of the actual percentage out there. and, again, another thing we say is that bernie sanders won california. but the fact is he's going to have to split up the delegates with joe biden. so he came in first in california. we still have to split up the delegates on that. and then they go to milwaukee to

decide who will win. >> let me ask you about elizabeth warren. a lot of pressure within the party to drop out of the race. >> she said she would not, but -- >> there's pressure within her race to drop out of the race. it comes down to money, dan and ama. you've gone so far. you are not going to go to the next level, what are you doing still here? >> and the money starts drying up too. >> and the money starts drying up. and they say, okay, what is the path forward? for all of them the path forward is a state called michigan. that's march 10th. an the reason that's big for joe biden and for bernie sanders, it's make it or break it for bernie sanders because that's where he has to prove whether or not he can do the blue collar vote, the minority vote, the middle america vote. this is not the carolinas. this is not california. this is not texas. this is that heart bread basket of matters in november. so all of the candidates are going to be focusing on michigan to say i can do it or i can't.

>> one might think that biden has an advantage. but not necessarily. >> he has been organizing out there. and funny ten days ago people were staying instinctively joe biden, joe who? how does he comfortably exit the race? the voters out there, despite the media, despite the hundreds of millions of dollars in television ads, they are making this decision their own, and they are waiting till the last minute to decide. they are not being told what to do. it's democracy in action. democracy is human, and human is people, and people is like the secretary of state that calls in and says, hey, we're still counting the ballots because this is a tight election, it's a big election, and everybody did what they were supposed to do, which was vote by mail. only they voted at the last minute. >> now we wait. thank you, phil. you can read phil's columns every wednesday and sunday. be sure to check it out. >> and we have full election results for each race and ballot measure right now on

abc7news.com and on the abc7 news app. hang onto your hat. it's not much but there is some rain in the seven-day forecast. >> we won't complain. drew explains your bes get to the ross spring dress event, where the prices make all the dresses yeses. yeah! save 20 to 60 percent off department store prices on our best selection of spring dresses. the ross spring dress event, on now! yourbut as you get older,thing. it naturally begins to change, causing a lack of sharpness, or even trouble with recall. thankfully, the breakthrough in prevagen helps your brain and actually improves memory. the secret is an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.
