something joyful to celebrate today, november 14, 2020. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with peter alexander, kristen welker and dylan dreyer. welcome to "today." we thank you for joining us on this saturday morning. dylan is enjoying a little bit of time off. hard to believe we're already talking about christmas. i'm trying to still figure out a thanksgiving plan for our family like a lot of folks these days. >> i think a lot of families are trying to figure out their thanksgiving plans, but nothing makes me happier than seeing the rockefeller christmas tree. a little bit of joy. >> we'll get to that a little later today. first we want to get to our top story, the coronavirus crisis now reaching these figures that most never imagined. on friday, the u.s. reporting more than 176,000 cases. friday alone yet another new daily record of infections. nearly 1,300 people passing away from covid complications. >> this is the tenth day in a

row that we have had more than 100,000 cases. there have been nearly 11 million cases since march and we are at a point in this crisis that public health experts feared when the pandemic began, especially after seeing dips back in june and early september. >> so where do we go from here? our team is covering it from all angles. we want to begin with nbc's kathy park who is in new york this morning. kathy, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning to you. here in new york city restaurants and bars as you can see have had to get pretty creative in order to survive in the middle of a pandemic. but with covid cases on the rise again, restrictions are also coming back, this time with a 10:00 p.m. curfew and that could just be the beginning. this weekend several northeast governors are coming together to host an emergency summit. overnight new york, once the epicenter of the pandemic, issuing a new mandate, shutting down all bars, restaurants and gyms at 10:00 p.m. and capping private gatherings at ten

people. >> are you scared that this is just the first step, 10:00 curfew could lead to total closing? >> of course we are scared, yeah. >> reporter: in the city, the positivity rate is climbing closer to 3%, threatening the nation's largest school system. the mayor telling families to have a plan to go back to all virtual learning as early as monday. >> we've got to act out of an abundance of caution. >> reporter: for ten days in a row the u.s. reported more than 100,000 cases daily, crossing 176,000 friday. infections are trending back up in nearly every state, higher than what we saw this spring. governors in new mexico and oregon are tackling the surge by ordering partial lockdowns. >> if we want to give oregonians a fighting chance, we must take further measures to flatten the curve now. >> reporter: chicago is also heading toward a 30-day stay-at-home order. starting monday residents are being advised to leave their

homes for essential needs only. >> we want to support our economy as best we can, but we've got to do the things that we know are necessary to save lives. >> reporter: thanksgiving travel also coming with warnings. the cdc recommends staying home to reduce the risks. the university of wisconsin madison is asking students who travel during the holiday break to stay away from campus until the spring. health experts worry the worst is yet to come, warning the death toll could nearly double by march 1st. heather edwards lost her 22-year-old son to covid. she says keegan went from healthy to hospitalized and urges families to take precautions. >> it doesn't seem very real until it becomes a part of your life, and i think that it's going to become a part of everyone's life. >> reporter: meanwhile, there are new developments on that first cruise ship to resume sailing in the caribbean.

there are reportedly now five positive cases aboard the ship. according to the cruise line, all of the guests as well as non-essential crew members are currently in quarantine in their state rooms. guys, back to you. >> the cruise industry still can't catch a break. kathy park in new york city with the very latest. thank you. president trump spoke publicly on friday for the first time in nearly a week threatening to withhold an impending vaccine to the state of new york and coming the closest he has yet to admitting he has the election. on friday nbc news made its final election calls with joe biden the parent winner in georgia as a recount begins there and president trump the projected winner in north carolina. with that, the final electoral college tally stands for 306 for president-elect biden and 232 for president trump. nbc's kelly o'donnell is at the white house covering all the angles for us this morning. kelly, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, kristen. even after taking that long break from public view, the

president continued to avoid acknowledging his own political fate. instead he also sidestepped direct discussion of the surge of covid cases and hospitalizations in order to talk about the timeline for a vaccine. but it really is what he did not say that stands out. out of his election isolation -- >> beautiful out here this time of here. >> reporter: president trump broke the longest public silence of his term on friday to tout progress but not yet final approval on covid vaccines. >> this is five times faster than the fastest prior vaccine development in history, five times faster. say it again, five times faster. >> reporter: but he is slow to address the election outcome, yet he let slip a hint of recognition of his defeat. >> this administration will not be going t a lockdown, hopefully the -- whatever happens in the future, who knows which administration it will be, i guess time will tell. but i can tell you this

administration will not go to a lockdown. >> reporter: the president took a shot at new york governor, democrat andrew cuomo, who plans a separate state review of vaccine authorization. >> he doesn't trust the fact that it's this white house, this administration, so we won't be delivering it to new york until we have authorization to do so. that pains me to say that. >> reporter: cuomo pushed back. >> this is his issue, it's his credibility issue. it's the fear that he politicized the health process of this nation, which is a well-founded fear. >> reporter: while the president has not conceded, aides keep up the fight. >> i think the president will attending his own inauguration. he would have to be there in fact. >> we're moving forward here at the white house under the assumption that there will be a second trump term. >> reporter: but the president's long-time friend, geraldo rivera offered this. >> he told me he was a realist. he told me he would do the right thing. >> reporter: and in a development related to both the election and in some ways covid,

rudy giuliani is now stepping forward telling nbc news that he will lead the president's legal team. in part that's because one of the president's other political aides, david bossie, came down with covid and is not in a position to lead this defense of the different election cases that the president's team is bringing in various states. also on the covid front, there have been reports from "the washington post" that as many as 130 secret service officers have either gotten the covid virus or been quarantined because of it. nbc news has been able to confirm that there are cases of covid and that it does affect a number of officers in the secret service, but they would not provide a specific number. they do say that there is enough staff to meet the mission of protecting the president, the president-elect, and all the protectees. peter, kristen. >> all right, kelly o'donnell, thank you. with the president still refusing to accept the election's results, president-elect joe biden's

transition team is growing more concerned about national security and battling the coronavirus. in just a moment we're going to speak to dr. gownder but first we want to get the very latest from geoff bennett from joe biden's home in delaware. geoff, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning. joe biden is spending the day here at rehoboth beach, but as the work of the transition continues, the biden team is increasingly working around the trump administration's unprecedented effort to block a smooth changeover. that's especially true when it comes to the covid crisis. president-elect joe biden adding another win on his way to the white house. >> nbc news can now confidently project that georgia will go to joe biden. >> reporter: a state last won by a democrat in 1992. biden's latest victory means he flipped five states president trump won in 2016.

the president-elect racking up 306 electoral college votes, the same total president trump claimed four years ago. biden's transition team barreling ahead, but president trump's ongoing refusal to concede the race is complicating biden's pandemic planning. until the trump administration formally recognizes biden as president-elect, outgoing trump officials can't share critical covid vaccine distribution plans with the incoming biden team. biden's newly minted chief of staff speaking on msnbc this week. >> so the sooner we can get our transition experts into meetings with the folks who are planning that vaccination campaign, the more seamless the transition from a biden presidency to a trump presidency can be. >> reporter: biden advisers have been working on their own plan to mass distribute a covid vaccine so they won't be left unprepared come january. biden's transition in touch with cvs and walgreens, making sure

the retail pharmacies have the staffing and supplies needed to vaccinate millions of americans a source familiar tells nbc news. so the bottom line is this. less than ten weeks before joe biden takes office, his team is locked out of critical covid data and contacts, and that threatens to cripple the future federal response as covid cases surge across the country. kristen, peter. >> geoff bennett this morning in delaware. geoff, thanks. >> let's bring in dr. seline gownder, an infectious disease specialist and she was just niemd president-elect biden's covid advisory board. thank you for joining us. let's dive right in. as you just heard geoff talk about, there are now two task forces. just to understand this, has there been any communication between the biden team and the trump covid team? >> sadly, kristen, there has

not. and i fear that we are really in a national security crisis at this point. we are seeing surges in coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths across the country. this is really like we're at war with the virus. if we were in the middle of a world war at this point, i cannot imagine that the current president would not be passing over, handing over the reins and providing really what is security intelligence about where the virus is, how it's spreading, and what the current plans are for countermeasures. >> so if you could advise the trump task force right now were there communication, what do you think they need to be doing right now that they're not doing to make your job easier when you take over? >> well, i think one thing we've needed all along is testing. unfortunately this current administration has actively discouraged testing, but it is impossible to fight an enemy when it is invisible. the problem with so many of these coronavirus infections is that they are asymptomatic, many

of them, and so those are essentially invisible infections. so we really need to be ramping up testing dramatically, putting it in neighborhoods, including neighborhoods of color so that people don't have to be waiting in very long lines to be getting tested. it should be as convenient as possible and it should be free. >> dr. gounder, there were 176,000 new cases on friday and we're seeing spikes all across the country. just to put a fine point on it, what can we do and is there anything that can be done to stop this trajectory as we head into winter? >> well, i think sadly we are without true leadership from the white house right now. i think at this point every american has to take personal responsibility for themselves, for their families and their communities. i think we can do that. and i think the first step is for every one of us to wear a mask when we're outside of our household. unfortunately, masks have been

politicized. as far as i'm concerned that's like politicizing toilet paper. this is a basic hygienic measure that is highly effective at protecting yourself, at protecting others, and would do already a lot if we just did that one simple thing. >> quick last question if i can. obviously we focused on vaccine development a lot, distribution begins. when the biden administration takes over in january, how will that affect average americans in terms of the distribution of this vaccine? >> well, in terms of the pfizer vaccine, this is probably going to be distributed largely by hospitals, by private pharmacy chains like cvs and walgreens and by state and local health departments. so none of those are under the direct control of the federal government. and so the interfacing between the biden toeam and each of thoe different groups can be happening right now and is happening right now. so we are moving forward with

our planning because this is an emergency and we need to be ready to go on day one. >> dr. gounder, thank you for joining us and for all of the information. really appreciate it. also this nation's capital will be on high alert as several pro trump groups are expected to the take to the streets with counter demonstrators set to show up as well could there be violence? we go to washington for the latest >> reporter: good morning, peter. president trump the actually tweeted about these events saying it was heart warming to see this support and that he might try to stop by and say hello at some some of the d.c. rallies. two groups have officially requested permits from officials in d.c. one for a permit in front of the white house the other for a first amendment rally as he they described it a right here in freedom plaza. you can see he some of what is happening here the permit for this area was approved for 10,000 people you can see there are already super.

porters, different people selling merchandise, gathering in this area we don't know exactly how big today's protests will be in part because we've seen counter protesters organizing online and also other people supporting president trump claiming to come out and protest the results of the election those people have not officially requested permits. we did see some supporters of president trump arrive last night and some sort of disturbance where d.c. police actually had to step in and get involved some of these rallies first seem to appear on the line being organized by a far-right group called the proud boys. if you heard that name before, that's because president trump mentioned it in first debate where he told them to stand back and stand by earlier this week the so-called chairman of that group posted on social media telling his supporters that the stand by order has now been rescinded we do know d.c. police are aware of these events.

they tell us and when i asked if they were expecting violence or any known threats they didn't directly answer that question but did send a reminder to the public saying that according to d.c. code regardless of any permit someone may have it's illegal to carry a firearm within 1,000 feet of first amendment activities >> thank you >> we want to get a check on the forecast from bill karins. is in for dylan. thanks for being here today. >> yeah, good seeing you guys. we don't have a horrible forecast today, but it's going to be windy, very windy. i mean it's not just one spot too, we're talking across much of the country. 65 million people are included in these wind advisories or warnings and the purple is where we'll see the most power outages. that includes areas like denver. then through sunday that will kick through the ohio valley and the northeast. so today strong winds later on tonight and this entire mess heads toward the east on sunday.

a brief period of gusty wind along with that heavy rain. we may even see a little bit of severe weather with this too, but i think the winds will be the big story for those football games and for anyone that loses power. if we do get some of that severe weather, it will be in areas of southern missouri. watch out ft. smith to springfield, up interstate 44. there's a risk there of strong damagi >> and we did have some showers move in overnight. we'll have the chance for seeing a little bit more shower activity for the north bay at least through about 6:00 a.m. aside from that, the biggest thing you'll notice this morning is going to be the fog. there's a dense fog advisory in effect. we have early ground fog especially around the coastline into the interior valleys as well. here's a closer look at the microclimate highs in san jose. 57 half moon bay and 57 and then chilly 40s into the late night hours. >> and still coming up, hurricane iota is expected to

form this weekend. i'll tell you where that's heading. it's not going to be pretty. those details coming up. >> i can't believe we're talking about another hurricane. bill, thank you for that. still to come, princess diana back in the spotlight this weekend. was she tricked into giving the earth-shattering interview where she openedp abo uut

time for the weekly download, a look back at the week's top stories. >> that's right. a powerful storm leaving a path of destruction behind. tropical storm eta slammed into florida for a second time, the latest blow in a relentless 2020 hurricane season. eta also dropped heavy rain on north carolina, leading to flash flooding and causing part of this bridge to collapse. the flood now blamed for at least six deaths.

a bombshell new report out of the vatican revealed pope john paul ii and pope benedict new against allegations against theodore mccarrick but still put him in a position of power in the church. >> nothing like this has happened before in the history of the church where there's such an intensive investigation into the misdeeds of someone who was once a cardinal. >> the voluminous report said the first warnings reached rome in the '90s with reports of mccarrick sharing beds with s seminarians. >> mccarrick denied any recollection of abuse. "jeopardy" host alex trebek passed away after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. >> more than 8,000 "jeopardy" episodes later, trebek leaves an indelible mark on american life. >> his producer paid tribute here on "today." >> he made that cool. he made being smart cool.

>> trebew was 80 years old. a warning for users of the second generation ring video doorbell. >> the u.s. consumer product safety commission said ring received 85 reports related to yip correct screws used for installation resulting in 23 fires with minor damage and eight reports of minor burns. >> ring said if you installed your doorbell correctly, it is safe to use. emily harrington making history on yosemite's notorious el captain. >> the 34-year-old rock climber becoming the first woman ever to free climb the famed golden gate route of el captain, doing it in under 24 hours. >> harrington reaching the top despite a nasty fall that gashed her forehead. >> it was just something that i always had in the back of my mind but never really thought i would be able to do. >> some of the week's wildest moments caught on camera. a terrifying moment in southern california when this small plane crashed in a residential area.

the one person onboard died at the scene. surveillance video shows this stunning moment a convenience store manager jumped on a car to try and stop a man who allegedly stole three cases of beer. the manager is now in the hospital. and this coyote helped himself to some candy left out for delivery workers, all while the house cat watched safely from behind the front door. and finally -- >> what's up, dude? >> "tonight show" host jimmy fallon paid a surprise visit to our very own steve kornacki, making sure he's recovered from a long election week. jimmy, dropping off a small bottle of jack daniels and a $5 subway gift card to say thanks for all of eve's hardst

good morning. it's 5:26. this is a live look outside of the mountains, that's the storm ranger getting to work. i'm kira klapper and vianey arana has a look at the microclimate forecast. it is cold and drizzly, all sorts of things out there. >> certainly feeling like a lot more november. we have the overnight rain that moved in last night and a we're seeing remnants.

notice the radar not as active because of the moisture and we are seeing plenty of fog. dense fog, there's a dense fog advisory in effect. daytime highs will be in the 50s and low 60s. 60 degrees in san jose. 59 in santa rosa. we have limited visibility down to a mile in santa rosa and the nevada area. please be safe out there. >> see you at 7:00 for the full forecast, thanks. well, covid cases are surging statewide. cases up nearly 50% in the first week of november. many of our local counties are stopping indoor dining and more restrictions could be on the way. local health experts say we're fully into the third covid wave. because of it, santa clara is joining with contra costa to ban all indoor dining.

if it falls into the red tier that means reduced capacity for many businesses. >> similar to in march when we had a rapid increase in cases, we may be needing to take additional restrictions quickly. >> health officials say it's an indicator that hospitals will have an influx of patients in about two weeks. everyone will have to do their part to flatten the curve, once again. masks and social distancing are the best way to protect yourself and others. we have new surveillance pictures. photos show three women and a man who are suspected of attacking grocery store clerk jaime plancarte on halloween night. he was beaten so severely he has spent the last couple of weeks in a coma. it is still unclear what led to his attack.

at the time, plancarte was collecting shopping carts in the parking lot. it is just shy of 5:29. coming up this morning on "today in the bay" the announcement from west coast governors that should change your holiday travel plans. that and more at 7:00. hi! it's time to lean on each other. all of you guys, so much great support. and laugh with each other. (laughs) cheers! let's do it together. with caregiving chats and more. come find us at aarp.org/nearyou

look at that! we are back on this saturday morning, november 14th, 2020, and check it out. it's the rockefeller center christmas tree. here we are just under six weeks until christmas and it is certainly beginning to look a lot like christmas. >> a lot of folks are stuck at home today, these days, but we're going to try to bring a little christmas to you this morning. the tree is a 75-foot norway spruce. when it's all decorated, it's going to have more than five miles of lights. >> wow. >> it will also have a 900-pound

swarovski star on it. it got an escort to make sure it arrived safely at 30 rock. >> by the way, the 88th rock sterile christmas tree lighting will take place on wednesday, december 2nd, starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern. there will be no public access to the tree lighting, but you can watch it right here on nbc. we have to start our shopping, i guess. >> good way to celebrate with family right at home. we want to begin this half an hour with a check of the headlines and start with the continuing surge in coronavirus cases. on friday alone the u.s. recorded more than 176,000 new infections, setting yet another daily record. it marks the tenth day in a row that the u.s. has seen more than 100,000 cases, as infections continue to rise in nearly every state. cities and states around the country imposing new restrictions to try to slow the spread, including partial lockdowns in new mexico and oregon. well, today's scheduled

spacex rocket launch has been postponed until tomorrow due to high winds in the forecast. nasa is sending four astronauts to the international space station. spacex ceo elon musk said he tested both positive and negative for coronavirus on friday, but nasa says he's had no contact with anyone critical to launch plans. liftoff is set for 7:27 tomorrow night. it's a historic day for major league baseball. the miami marlins have hired kim ng as their next general manager. ng is the first woman and asian american to hold that position in mlb history. she started her career as an intern and has more than 30 years of experience with the white sox, the yankees and the dodgers. ng's hiring makes her the first woman to be a general manager in any of the major men's sports leagues in north america. >> inspiring a lot of little girls, no doubt. also this morning, as we

mentioned, a recount is now under way in georgia in the presidential race as the state also prepares for two runoff races that will determine the balance of power in the senate. nbc's blayne alexander is in atlanta with more on this. good morning, what's the latest there? >> reporter: well, kristen, good morning to you. in many ways, georgia will be the center of the political universe for the next few weeks at least with those two senate runoffs set for january 5th. now more than a week after election day, we now know that president-elect joe biden is the apparent winner here in georgia, but that is not stopping the count, which as of this morning is happening again. across georgia, from county to county, the count is on again. a statewide audit required by law before results can be certified. but because the margin is so close, it amounts to a full hand recount of all 5 million ballots. president-elect joe biden is the apparent winner in georgia, according to nbc news projections, with a lead of 14,000 votes. unlikely to change by much, even

after the audit, state officials say. it's the first time georgia has gone blue in nearly 30 years, a result of shifting demographics and record voter registration. >> what made the difference here in georgia? >> it wasn't enough to register voters. we had to focus on register and engagement. it's like giving someone the keys to the car but never teaching them how to drive. we built a ground game that absolutely combined those two pieces. >> reporter: now all eyes are on january 5th and a pair of senate runoffs to determine who controls the upper chamber. next week vice president mike pence will visit the peach state to campaign for his party's incumbents, kelly loeffler and david perdue. >> make no mistake, we are the firewall, not just for the u.s. senate but the future of our country. >> guys, this is it. i win, she wins. she wins, i win. >> reporter: democrats jon ossoff and raphael warnock riding with a biden win.

>> we're fighting for america and the way we do that is by pulling together the coalition that we had in november and making certain that that coalition understands its power heading into january. >> reporter: and overnight president trump tweeted an attack at georgia's republican secretary of state. he said that the process was unfair and close to meaningless, adding everyone knows that we won the state. now, of course in reality president trump lost the state of georgia by 14,000 votes. the secretary of state and members of his office have repeatedly said that there is no evidence of widespread voter irregularities. peter and kristen. >> all right, blayne alexander from atlanta. thanks. time for another check with our friend bill karins keeping an eye on the forecast. it's heart to fathom we're talking in november about another tropical storm, possibly a hurricane. >> this is unbelievable. the red cross in central america saying that hurricane eta last week, this is not a humanitarian crisis, they're calling it a

humanitarian catastrophe. this is from eta, the storm that was a category 4 that dumped up to 2 feet of rain. they're saying 100,000 people are without homes. there are a lot of people in shelter. because people are afraid to be in shelters because of covid there's people living under bridges right now. so let me get to the forecast and this is the unbelievable part. we're about to do this again. tropical storm iota, that's what we're on now in the greek alphabet, is a tropical storm. it's a week storm now, but we expect in the next two days rapid intensification and i've never rooted for a forecast to be more wrong in my life. this is the latest from the national hurricane center. they have this almost making landfall exactly when eta did a week ago as a major category 3 hurricane late monday night. so we're only two days away from this potential catastrophe on top of the last catastrophe and they're saying 30 inches of rain is possible with this storm over the next couple of days. i can't imagine a worse scenario

for the people in honduras. back home, the forecast compared to that is nothing. it's very quiet on the east coast, sunny and cool. watch out for isolated severe storms in arkansas and southern >> and we have some overnight showers push through the bay area and now we're seeing that moisture left over. so far, the radar is pretty quiet using our own mobile doppler radar storm ranger. one thing you'll notice is that fog, especially if you live around the coast and down through the south bay. temperatures will range in the upper 50s, low 60s for the bay area. we have limited visibility in santa rosa and down to less than a mile. so if you're near that area, please drive safe. expect fog through the afternoon. >> and don't forget, tomorrow night we're talking sunday night football here on nbc. we have lamar jackson and the baltimore ravens heading to gillette stadium to take on cam newton and the patriots. typically every year this is

like the biggest game of the season if these two teams play. that's sundays night, 7:00 eastern only on nbc. let's see if bill belichick has any tricks up his sleeve sunday night. >> we figure that's why dylan is off today, getting the tailgate in her living room ready for tomorrow night. >> good for her. >> bill, thanks so much. coming up, keeping your family safe as the weather gets colder and covid cases rise. >> the important steps that you should be taking as the holidays approach. ♪ oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) once-weekly ozempic® is helping many people with type 2 diabetes like emily lower their blood sugar. a majority of adults who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. here's your a1c. oh! my a1c is under 7!

that you have the cold and flu type medicines that you've had in the past but also space where you can isolate people in case they get sick. you want the medications and food you might need for two weeks because if you do have to isolate yourself, you want to be able to do that. having a thermometer can help determine if you have a fever and that pulse oximeter can help a little bit with understanding if coronavirus is getting bad enough where you need to be seen. of course the water and gatorade and those issues. like vicky was mentioning, make sure you have masks and hand sanitizer. if you do have sniffles, you're not sure if it's flu, coronavirus or cold. >> in the early stages we saw so much panic buying, just ask the toilet paper aisle. what do we do to go forward now to stock up in a safe and practical way that doesn't clear out store shelves? >> we want to be flexible and shop early. i can't believe we have less than two weeks until thanksgiving. something to do is if you see what you need, buy it but don't hoard. we've talked to many retailers

as well as food makers, the ceo of general mills, telling us they have spent the last eight months learning from what happened in march and they are prepared for the potential surges right now and people who may be trying to stockpile. stores are also doing their part by putting limits on certain items. who can forget when it was so hard, you felt like you won the lottery if you found toilet paper. these are still hard to find but don't forget about shower cleaners. those often contain the same cleaning agents that are epa approved to deal with this virus. just look on the back. there's an epa registration number right there. you can check with the website to see if you're not finding the cleaning agents you're used to, the bleach, hydrogen peroxide, you can also try shower cleaners as well. we really want people to know there is enough t go around. sometimes you're not going to get your first choice, the brand that you want, but we're not going to see the kinds of situations we did back in march, at least according to the food makers and retailers who say they are ready this time. >> i think we all have a little

ptsd. when you see some toilet paper, you just grab it right now. it's not worth risking it. >> stocked up. >> dr. torres, vicky, both of you, we appreciate your expertise and your time. thanks so much. coming up, from the board room to the great outdoors. how companies are getting creative when it comes to holding business meetings in the midst of the pandemic. is that it's totally normal to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. no way. more exercise. more water. and more fiber is the only way to manage it. is it? maybe you think... it's occasional constipation. maybe it's not. it could be a chronic medical condition called ibs-c, and time to say yesss! to linzess. linzess works differently than laxatives. it helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual

president-elect. look, he's adding another win on his way to the white house with nbc news projecting biden the apparent winner in the state of georgia. a state a democrat has not carried in the presidential election since 1992. now, as you mentioned, the work of the biden transition barrels forward, and they are increasingly finding ways to work around the unprecedented obstruction put forward by the trump administration. the trump white house blocking the biden team from accessing critical covid data and contacts. now, last hour dr. celine gounder, a member of the biden transition team, spoke about that. here's what she said to say. >> this is really like we're at war with the virus. if we were in the middle of a world war at this point, i cannot imagine that the current president would not be passing over, handing over the reins and providing what is really security intelligence. >> reporter: so the biden transition team is taking matters into their own hands,
