5:00 am
every emergen-c gives you a potent blend of nutrients so you can emerge your best with emergen-c. right now at 5:00, black friday crackdown. despite warnings from health officials to stay home for those planning to hit the stores, what's being done to try to reduce the spread of covid-19. plus, the third wave getting worse. sobering new pandemic milestones experts say we are approaching. and bundle up. temperatures in the bay area are taking a dip. the cooler weather could be sticking around. meteorologist kari hall's forecast in just moments. "today in the bay" continues now. good friday morning. i'm kira klapper. >> and i'm scott mcgrew. marcus and laura have the day off. mike and kari are hard at work. let's start with kari. i think i heard you say cooler temperatures.
5:01 am
yes. we've had some 30s in parts of the north bay and a few of our inland valleys but we are all clear as we take a live look outside in san jose, yes, you do need to bundle up. we'll see some sunshine and winds start to go calm down today. and for the weekend we'll start out with some more frosty mornings and mild afternoons. still no rain in the forecast. we'll talk more that coming up in a few minutes. mike, how is it looking for the commute? it's looking like your typical friday after thanksgiving which means we don't really have a commute but we'll zoom in to the map southbound 101 where we're zooming in right now at marsh. an earlier roadside fire still on the grid here. the fire crew is still blocking your slow lane so do watch that. that's the only note right now on the peninsula. back to you. >> thank you, mike. help officials urging you, please, stay home, as the coronavirus grows worse. they worry it will cause a huge spike in deaths.
5:02 am
some people still lining up, though, for deals. this is the best buy in san jose. we have team coverage on how shoppers and stores are responding to the pandemic. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in burlingame. thom jensen, you have a line behind you, right? >> reporter: there was a line just a minute ago. the store just opened at 5:00 a.m. here at the best buy in san jose. there's a security person just inside the door. they're making sure that they do stay at capacity, below their capacity limits, which is 25% for retail right now. it looks like people are heeding the warning. people may have been hesitant. the same thing was true for the early sales last night and some of the popular spots where people walk off their holiday
5:03 am
meals as well. >> and it's heartening to see that it is empty. it lets me know people are taking it seriously or if they're out like us they are wearing masks. >> reporter: retail stores keep crowds at 25% capacity and to enforce masking and social distancing rules. and it appears that people are following the rules right now. for this store that means that there will be only 80 people allowed at one time in the store today. they have people enforcing that and making sure the rules are being followed. we expect to see more people show up as they come out after the curfew was lifted at 5:00 a.m. we talked to a few people, many of them telling us they're here for one item, the play station 5. unfortunately, this store sold out like so many around the
5:04 am
area. now people are already leaving going to other stores, game stop across the parking lot, waiting for it to open to see if they can find the playstation. thom jensen, "today in the bay." >> here is the dilemma, retail employees are at work regardless. shoppers are not only putting their health at risk but those working retail as well. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson is live in burlingame to explore that angle. hi, cierra. >> reporter: good morning. yeah, i can say this is my first time as a journalist not being inside of a store on a black friday. it's a different feeling. things this year are simply a little different than they will been in past year. let's take a look at the numbers. where have things been in the past? the national retail federation tells nbc about 190 million people shopped black friday combined with cyber monday last
5:05 am
year. although it is expected to drop 43%, millions are potentially planning to go out and shop. and for those who venture out a majority of the counties throughout the state are in the purple tier meaning there is a capacity at 25% for malls and retail stores. some of the major chains like walmart, target, and best buy close on thanksgiving day. that's when a lot of the shopping happens after that big meal. many major chains are taking extra steps to keep the shoppers safe. they're placing social distancing placards throughout shopping areas and installing additional happened sanitizing pumps and urging shoppers to make reservations using mobile apps. there is the increased risk of exposure and for retail work er,
5:06 am
they're facing even a bigger risk. so many businesses are turning to private contact companies to help notify shoppers they have been exposed by using their phone. >> there's a balance between health agencies getting information and privacy but, again, we're disrupting that by merely providing this name or even a nickname and a way to contact you. it doesn't even go to us. if you need to reach your device or email address because you're at risk. there is a balance. it's in the interests of everybody. >> reporter: that's when technology and science collide. so the best piece of advice is to avoid the crowds. online retailers are well aware a lot of people will be staying inside so they've lengthened the time of their sales so it's not just black friday or cyber monday. they started earlier and will go
5:07 am
later into the holiday season so you can really get some good deals if you decide to shop online and keep yourself and family safe by staying home this year. live in burlingame, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> nearly 13 million covid-19 cases in the united states. 263,000 people have died. the u.s. could be approaching 100 million. the true number of infections is about eight times reported because most cases of covid cases may go unreported. on the heels of some heavy criticism, astrazeneca and oxford university are now defending the results and the methods they use to test their own covid vaccine. they claimed their drug to be 90% effective and later admitted

5:20 am
it's going to be in the upper 30s. and then from there into the upper 50s. a sunny day. we have to make it through the next couple of hours. this is where we're headed reaching into the low to mid-60s for today. as we go through the forecast we will see some approaching cold fronts but, unfortunately, they don't bring us any rain and we've had such dry weather this may go down in the record books as one of the driest novembers we've had on record for the bay area. as we look all across the state, where we see the yellow in southern california they are seeing abnormally dry conditions. they did have a lot of rain. for us we didn't have much of that rain and so we're seeing extreme drought conditions and the drought conditions are spreading across the bay area.
5:21 am
now we're seeing a lot more extending into the south bay. we may see the fire conditions continue and we don't have any in the forecast through the next week. temperatures will be cooler but we'll have to watch out for high winds that we may see at times as our highs reach into the low 60s. >> the commute is very light comparatively. we do have a lot of folks coming in and that's where there's a crash. we have our camera and my friend just moved the camera to show us what's going on. the brake lights just west you see the auto center there. there may be a traffic break they might need or had to move some vehicles there. as we look at the map i've circled that.
5:22 am
notice, also, further back the altamont pass where there's no slowing so that may save things as you travel through dublin and get to the dublin interchange. as we look at the rest of the map we will move to the rest of the view. a nice, smooth drive. traffic is relatively light but there still are other commuters out there. do be careful and mind your speed, of course, as well. back to you. returning presents might not be as easy as it usually is this holiday season. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. i'll tell you what you should do about it next. but first our team is always on social media. this holiday season we are grateful for all of those working on the front lines. this is my son, a first responder, and his thanksgiving meal. you can follow me on twitter and facebook as well.

>> reporter: we'll return billions upon billions upon billions worth of merchandise that doesn't work, doesn't fit or doesn't do it for us. last year 77% who responded to a
5:26 am
poll said they plan to return at least one gift. here is a 2020 hitch. many stores have modified or removed their return policies due to covid-19. and they're allowed to. returns and exchanges are not required by california law. stores can say all sales are final, period. the attorney general says don't assume a store will allow you to return an item. let's do a quick q&a. can a store charge a restocking fee? yes. can a store only give you store credit not cash back? yes. can a store deny a refund if you don't have an original receipt? yes. please check the rules. they're supposed to be posted in writing or at the service disk. the law says so. call us 888-996-tips.
5:27 am
helpful advice. thank you, chris. lamar jackson has tested positive for covid-19. the reigning nfl mvp is the biggest star to become infected in what has become the biggest outbreak in the league. jackson is among the four latest rains players and one staff member to test positive. the ravens have at least a dozen players testing positive this week. the latest round of positive tests will likely cause the cancellation of sunday's game between the rains and the pittsburgh steelers which was already postponed from thursday night. next, the top stories we're following today including an early christmas gift for two bay area hospitals. pfizer's vaccine is on the way so who gets it and when? curfew concerns. the bay area county that could soon be forced into the purple tier status add to go curfew and even more restrictions. we'll be right back.

according to plan. >> rolling out the covid vaccine. two bay area hospitals set to get it first. the plan for distribution and when you could get it. and president donald trump facing reporters for the first time since the election. what he's saying about conceding to president-elect joe biden. "today in the bay" starts right now. good friday morning. it is 5:31. i'm kira klapper. and i'm scott mcgrew. right to meteorologist kari hall tracking some chilly temperatures. good morning. good morning. we're starting out with some spots in the 20s and 30s heading out the door, but we are going to have a clear sky, and that will help warm us up as we get a lot of sunshine later today. san jose a live look there. you can see that the sky is clear. we have calmer winds and over the next couple of mornings we're still looking at cold mornings, even frosty conditions in the valleys.
5:32 am
mild days and still no rain in the forecast. here is a look at our highs for today. temperatures reaching up to 63 in livermore as well as martinez and in napa. san francisco reaching 62 degrees and some low 60s for the south bay even up to 65 in morgan hill. now we are going to have more of this kind of weather and the weekend forecast. we'll talk about that and beyond coming up in a few minutes. mike, you've been tracking something heading through the tri-valley. yeah, kari, it was the only thing on the grid of any vote. let's get a live look because we must have just caught the activity as it was at its worst. the same shot, look at that clear, clear. can't even see any flashing lights. that's approaching the dublin interchange. the arrow shows you what was slowing, unfortunately, also changed to green. i say unfortunately for my report but fortunately for everybody else. no problems now driving through dublin.
5:33 am
however, there is an issue for b.a.r.t. some sort of equipment problem. that will be about a ten-minute delay from san francisco over to the dublin line. back over to you. all right, mike. it is black friday. normally we send our reporters to look at crowds and have fun because there's nothing fun about this year as people are dying and taking the risk of black friday shopping is a very extreme risk. we have team coverage this morning. let's start with cierra johnson. good morning, cierra. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. this year is full of firsts for a lot of people. the first time professionally i'm not inside of best buy looking at people fighting over a flat screen, the first time i, myself, won't be inside of a store getting those deals because of the increased risk, because of that pandemic, dealings with those crowds. to set the stage for you let's talk about how many people typically participate in black friday and cyber monday shopping.
5:34 am
this year that is expected to drop by 43%. that still means millions of people are potentially planning to go out and shop this year for those deciding to venture out a ma juror of the bay area counties, still at the cap because of the purple tier. so what are some of the stores doing to reduce though risks? many were closed yet when some of the lines typically begin for that big day and for jo ling kent a lot are taking steps by placing social distancing placards on the ground throughout the mall and installing extra hand sanitizing stations and even to use mobile reservation. what is the risk? of course if you're in a crowd there's the increased risk of
5:35 am
exposure that is higher for the retail workers in the front of the store. they're dealing with increased crowds and increased risk. they are simply using phones to notify shoppers. take a listen how that works. >> we're seeing that throughout the country. there's this balance between, you know, health agencies getting information and also consumer privacy. again, we're disrupting that by merely providing this name or even a nickname and a way to contact you and literally it doesn't even go to us and if the health agency needs to reach your device because you're at risk. there is a balance but in the interests of everybody. >> reporter: so contact tracing for black friday shopping is where we are now because of that increased risk for the virus.
5:36 am
retailers are well aware a lot of folks don't want to go inside of the stores to shop so upped their game. a lot of sales began earlier than in years past and will continue to go on a little later than they have in years past to entice folks to shop online. be aware of those risks. cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> we're going to piggyback off what you just said there and the fact that crowds are showing up this morning to crash in on deals despite warnings from the cdc not to go outside, not to join other black friday shoppers. we find thom jensen live at best buy in san jose where it opened about 30 minutes ago. it doesn't look like there's a crowd behind you now, thom, but there was a crowd. and the store was at one point at full capacity already.
5:37 am
>> reporter: there was a bit of a line that formed right after 5:00 after the curfew lifted for their 5:00 a.m. opening. it looks pretty sparse because this best buy is adhering to the 25% capacity level which means only 80 shoppers at a time inside here. there weren't even 80 people in line when they opened the doors this morning. we were able to talk to a few of those people about what brought them out during this covid surge on black friday. many of them told us about their shopping habits and what they were looking for this morning. the playstation 5s sold out fast, didn't they? >> too fast. >> reporter: were you hoping to get one? >> yeah. >> reporter: did you get one? >> no, not yet. >> reporter: what are the plans this year? are you doing a lot of shopping online because of covid? >> more online, yeah, because of covid.
5:38 am
>> reporter: as you heard a lot of them looking for the playstation 5, hot item, or x box. this store sold out. we did see a lot of shoppers coming out happy with their holiday gifts saying they found some good deals. the store, however, would normally have maybe 320 people at capacity inside on a day like today. so they're still hitting financially during covid. they do appear to be adhering to the rules. and that the stores are at their capacity limits, 25% for retail, 50% for grocery. we're live in san jose, thom jensen, "today in the bay." amidst all of this covid cases are surging near record levels across the state.
5:39 am
down slightly from earlier this week. 416 new cases confirmed in santa clara county. confirming more than 400 a day for the past week. seven california hospitals are the first in line to get covid-19 restrictions if the fda gives pfizer emergency use authorization for its coronavirus vaccine. health care workers and first responders like paramedics and fire responders would be the first to get it. ucsf specialist dr. hong says this could happen before christmas. he he can inspects the two dose vaccine will be free for everyone eventually and could be in target, cvs and walgreens. but masks and other precautions could be necessary for most of 2021. >> even though it may not get to most americans until late spring
5:40 am
or early summer it is something to hold on to as a symbol of how far we've come. >> some of the possible side effects of getting the vaccine include fever, muscle ache and headache. marin county could soon fall back into the state's most restrictive purple tier. you can see marin and san mateo counties are red. they are the only three bay area counties still in that less restrictive tier. if the county goes purple, predicted this coming tuesday, many indoor businesses would have to close and marin would have to follow the state's overnight curfew. closer to home san jose's christmas in the park kicks off, the holiday tradition to comply with covid safety. you'll still see the traditional displays and trees deck crated

5:42 am
saw has cleared. let's get you out to the maps. the reason i had to think we have all but one incident. west 580 approaching the dublin interchange. there's damage to the guardrail and center divide. look at the arrow. not even any slowing out of the altamont. thanks. a north bay hiker trapped under a boulder. still ahead on "today in the bay," the dramatic rescue and what he credits for saving his life. and a flag on the play. the growing covid outbreak forcing the pac-12 could cancel a big weekend game. plus -- we'll tell you where you can drive in and watch this christmas classic this weekend in the bay area. today's ways of working may work differently tomorrow.
