still no decision yet. the counting continues as one side cries foul and the other side insists the counts must continue and tonight, we're expecting to hear from former president joe biden and kamala harris less than an hour away at 5:00 as they and president trump will wait to hear who will actually be named the next president of the united states. good afternoon on this friday afternoon. election watch continues, kristen, i'm larry beil. >> it's been a long week. i'm kristen sze. the results put joe bide pn ahe of president trump in two key states and in position to win the presidency. biden holds the lead on the electoral map and has multiple paths of winning the most direct is pennsylvania and 20 electoral votes. that race flipped overnight and biden holds about a 17,000 vote lead now. he also grabbed a narrow lead in georgia where he's ahead by about 4,000 votes. georgia is planning to do a recount.

president trump is closing the gap in arizona, though, with biden's lead dropping to about 38,000 votes. >> let's check in with stephanie sierra tracking both campaign. >> votes continue to pour in from each of the remaining four battle ground states. joe biden 17 votes from 270. as we heard from the president today, he won't be conceding without a fight. in the home stretch, joe biden leading in the pour battle ground states, arizona, nevada, georgia and pennsylvania. a declared win in pennsylvania alone with its 20 electoral votes would put him on a path to the presidency. his supporters anxiously waiting. >> democracy is sometimes messy and requires patience, as well. >> meanwhile, president trump is leading in north carolina. continuing to send false messages on twitter he won the

presidency and toting unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. >> democrat officials never believed they could win this election honestly. that's why they did the mail in ballots where there is tremendous corruption and fraud going on. >> san francisco john dennis supports the president's fight. >> do i know for a fact we know what the issues are? no. there is certainly smoke. i think it's worth it to investigate to see if there is fire. >> today the president's legal battles continue in five states including georgia where elections officials have already declared a recount. hours ago, trump took to twitter claiming military ballots are missing in georgia. while calling out the election integrity of philadelphia. >> what the president needs to do is frankly put his big boy pants on and acknowledge the fact he lost and needs to congratulate the winner. >> that's not helpful at all. we need both parties to feel like they got a fair shake in this election. >> a fair shake the president hopes will end at the supreme

court. >> the biden campaign is all set to go to the supreme court. >> bay area trial lawyer joe who is the co-chair for joe biden's california legal team says that won't happen. >> he's going to gore v bush lawsuit to get the supreme court to say stop, throw out ballots and start all over again. that's where he's going. it's a disgrace. it say waste of taxpayers' dollars. >> now he went on to say what president trump is trying to do with these lawsuits is simply extend the period of time until the vote count is finalized. so he can try to challenge the electoral college and then take it to the supreme court. but again, he says it's very unlikely that will happen. live in the studio, stephanie sierra, a bc 7 news. >> you enmentioned the recount called in georgia because of the slim margin separating the two. is there any deadline that elections officials will be

required to meet? >> larry, the only deadline required is the recount must be requested within two business days after results have been certified and that has happened. hour long it will take, that's unclear there is no specific deadline to finish the counting. >> all right. so we all wait and watch. thank you, stephanie. more demonstrations calling for a full count of the vote. this one in san francisco today where the group count every vote painted a street mural. they want the trump campaign to drop lawsuits calling them a form of voter suppression and tensionins running high after a trump supporter hung a mannequin of trump hanging off his home. a protest is expected to get underway shortly. you can see people gathering. dem str demonstrators are upset saying that was a provocative move by the homeowner.

i think the name of the game in this time is to be as nimble and flexible as possible. >> reporter: admission to the rides area will cost $25 per person and provide access to a two-hour reservation, which caps at 300 people per session. for now, only santa cruz county residents can go on the rides but if you live beyond the county's borders, you're not totally out of luck. >> we'll have food, we'll have retail. we'll have games. we also have our minute tour golf open and available to guests as will be the boardwalk. >> reporter: the reopening was made possible after the county moved into the orange tier of california's blueprint for a safer economy. rides can continue to operate as long as they don't go back into the red. >> there is less crowd and i get to really see it and get to take some good pictures and that's going to be my memories. >> reporter: visitors say they're glad to take in beach boardwalk experience regardless of activities available. >> i'm here with my kids having a great time in santa cruz and of vacation. so it doesn't get more positive than that for me.

>> reporter: in santa cruz, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. >> not sure it's going to be great beach boardwalk weather, spencer christian. maybe if you have an umbrella and sweater you might be okay. >> you might need more than a sweater, larry, maybe a big over coat, as well. it will be a bit chilly this weekend. here is a look what is going on outside now. we have more clouds popping up than earlier in the day. skies are bright. we've got partly cloudy skies increasingly cloudy skies and check out the 24-hour temperature change. i mentioned this earlier. it 25 to almost 30 degrees cooler in many inland locations than this time yesterday. we said there should be a sharp temperature drop around the bay and near the coast, ten to almost 20 degree temperature drops. here is the view, i should say from sutro tower. a few cloud showers showing up. it is currently 55 here in the city. oakland 60, 59 at both san jose and mountain view. another lovely view of the

clouds thickening over the bay looking down from mt. tam. fairfie fairfield, conquer, livermore pretty different picture temperature-wise. westward toward the golden gate, chance of isolated showers during the late night and overnight hours blustery and chilly and we have some cold mornings coming our way early next week. we have rough surf with larger than average wave heights and the risk of coastal erosion and erratic conditions. this will expire at midnight tonight so we expect the seas to settle down. the blustery weather will continue for a little longer. the current storm ranks one on the abc 7 storm impact scale. tomorrow morning we expect a chance of spotty showers, high surf and thunder and hail mixing in with those cold showers and

wind gusts will range from 25 to about 35 miles per hour. stronger gusts than higher elevations. here is the forecast taking us through the overnight hours. most of the precipitation looks to remain offshore and a spotty shower can pop up anywhere and over in the sierra, there will be snow. some is falling already. winter storm warning in effect from 4:00 p.m. tomorrow to 4:00 p.m. sunday. we of snow. it will heavy and travel will probably be difficult. overnight low temperatures will be a bit cooler than they have been of late. generally mid to upper 40s from the coast to the bay shoreline and then up in the north bay, we'll see some lows dropping into the 30s at santa rosa, clover dale and lake port. on we go to tomorrow. bright skies for much of the day. clouds will linger. chilly. highs from mid 50s at the costa about 60 near the bay and only low 60s in the mild eest o o o

cold. that will be with us through the weekend into early next week but afternoon temperatures will rise maybe up into the mid 60s in some spots, mornings are going to be very, very cold until we get to the end of the week with the mornings a little more moderate. all and all, this is a late fall to early winter type pattern. this is what we generally would expect this time of the year. kristen, larry? getting back in action. when will we see step keth curr the rest of the warriors back on the court? cracking down on fakes. i'm michael finney. coming up on 7

two-thirds of us are ordering out for dinner before the pandemic it was more like 58%. millennials and genz adults placed the most orders but there is a big jump in baby boomers using takeout and delivery, too. experts predict the trend will last throughout the winter. i say it will last as long as we have a pandemic where we're locked down and probably beyond that. i think it's actually changed the way we do things. what to you guys think? >> i agree. >> i'm looking forward to this next story.

all right. let take a look -- you want to take that, larry? go for it. >> sure, coronavirus numbers are not good right now. 49 million cases of covid-19. the u.s. also reporting another record number of cases, johns hopkins has the count at under 122,000 for one day. california saw it biggest single day jump since august reporting more than 6 500 cases. joining me now live is dr. bob, the chairman of ucsf department. he has a great twitter feed, everything you want to know about covid-19 and updates it constantly. i just mentioned the rise in cases in the u.s. this is what experts like yourself were concerned about as we get into cooler weather and more people are inside. what needs to be done to get these numbers down? >> how to prevent the infection, i mean, the rules are the same. they are boring at this point.

it really is wearing a mask, distancing, avoiding crowds, those sword evort of things and parts of the country, europe is worse than the united states right now. people have probably let their guards down and are beginning to go inside. the spike is much more broadly distributed geographically than we thought. california is still not doing too badly. the bay area is doing reasonably well. here we're starting to see things go sour. >> i don't know how many times people like yourself can repeat wear your mask, social distance, all that. are we just incapable of making the changes required here? >> it's clear that we are capable because if you look at san francisco and the bay area, we have done remarkably well and i've calculate that if the country was mirroring our per capita death rate, we would have had about 55 or 60,000 deaths,

not 230,000. so it's clear that we can do it and i think san francisco and the bay area has shown the way. it's hard. it gets old. people want to socialize. they want to go outside and some people want to go to work. the virus doesn't care we're tired of this or board. the vie vrus is the same virus s been for ten months. we're just as vulnerale. we have to keep it up for probably another six to nine months. >> if joe biden is the new president, what would you recommend to him to try to get this under control? >> i've spoken to his people and they're on top of it. they know this will be the dominant issue if he takes over and we needs a cohesive national plan. we need experts in charge, we need to believe the science and rest recollect the agencies with competent leaders not incumbered

by political mischief and a national mask effort, whether it's a mandate quote unquote or a real push for everybody to wear a mask, clear if everybody did wear a mask, we would be saving hundreds of thousands of lives. we need a much more intentional strategy around testing and contact tracing, as opposed to kind of random set of strategies that we have now. there is a whole set of activities, it's not rocket science that is a plan, what is the plan? how do we implement it and get people to do the right thing? that's the way they are thinking about this. >> do you think we need a national lockdown like the u.k. is doing right now? you mentioned europe. they're having an even worse spike than we're experiencing at this point. >> i don't think we need a national lockdown for example in san francisco or the bay area, we don't need a lockdown per se. we need what we have, a set of standards here that has been what the state has done and i think you can sort of mirror the

state of california and what it's done to basically say here is a set of rules and numbers and if you're meeting those standards, you can open up and if not, you have to back down. we've done that beautifully in the bay area. what there needs to be is a national set of standers that are like that that basically says if you're doing okay, as we're doing in san francisco and the bay area, okay, you can open up but do it carefully if things start going off the rails, you need to back down again. it's a hodgepodge of standards and some regions and states have no standards at all. and the problem is you might say they're free to do what they want. unfortunately, first of all, it terrible because they're seeing case rates that are going through the roof and people will die because of it and also, there are no borders between the states and between the cities so what one state does and one person does influences what happens to all the rest of us. so that kind of freedom just doesn't work in a pandemic. we're all in this together. >> yeah. that's why we're up over 100,000

per day. doctor, appreciate your time this afternoon and i'm sure we'll talk as well in the future. doc is a must follow on twitter for everything covid-19 related. appreciate your time. >> thank you. if you have questions about the coronavirus, we want to help you find answers. find a list of local resources on our website, abc7news.com. he is a must follow. how people are dealing with the growing anxiety ove ♪ ♪ you make my heart sing ♪ ♪ wild thing i... think i... you know what i think?

parents should check in with their children's teachers but contact the counseling office, pediatrician or psychologist if there is a learning issue. i could tell you, one of my daughters would have had a real problem with distance learning. it's a serious issue right now for a lot of parents. kristen, i know you have thoughts on this. >> i mean, for a lot of kids it is harder to learn that way my son was telling me. in that zoom setting, you can't really ask the teacher a question, kids have their mikes off and it's not personal. so there is that. also, i'm just noticing even among my kids' friends, a lot of them have not having any motivation now. they don't know what they are doing it for. they can't get themselves to study. i don't know if i can go to college next year, what will college look like? why am i working hard to earn te as? you have a dual problem of both harder to learn and motivate yourself. >> remember, even we adults get -- miss our friends if we're not socializing. everything is magnified when you're a teenager or kid. and the social aspects of school

are also something they're really missing out on and that's i think affected their mental well being, as well and motivation levels and everything else. >> sure. >> isolation. >> it's important. >> it's tough. it just tough. the people at hershey's are out with a theory as to why sales of their chocolate bars are so soaring in areas with high covid-19 cases. hersheys says demand for the mi milk chocolate bars are up 40 to 50% in zip codes with high coronavirus cases. they believe people in those areas are spending more time outdoors and of course, when you're outside you're making s'mores. if someone wants to know if the claim is true, they should probably see if there is a spike in marsh mellow and gram cracker sales. i don't buy that. please. [ laughter ] >> i mean, maybe people are nesting and stress eating. my purchase of chocolate bars is probably up 40 or 50% but that was before coronavirus. >> what? >> he did it as a preventive
