2020. >> announcer: from nbc news, this is "today" with peter alexander, kristen welker and dylan dreyer. welcome to "today." thanks for joining us post thanksgiving on this saturday morning. we talk about the nfl, nhl, major league baseball, the nba and now it's the nfl's turn. >> yet another delay for sports fans. hopefully we'll get back on track. >> i know your husband is keeping a close eye on that. >> yes, he is. we want to begin with today's top story, though. fears that the nationwide coronavirus outbreak could explode after this holiday weekend. >> that's right. more than 13 million americans have been diagnosed with the virus with nearly 4 million of those just in november alone. nearly 193,000 new cases were reported friday, and more than 265,000 americans have died from

covid-19. >> we have full coverage of the crisis from president-elect biden's plan for the pandemic to the ongoing economic impact. we want to begin with nbc's gabe gutierrez, though, outside mt. sinai hospital in new york city. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: peter, good morning. in the coming days the governor here plans to roll out what he calls a winter plan to stop the virus from resurging. still, across the country there are mounting questions about vaccine distribution and testing, as hospitalizations hit record highs. this weekend, millions of americans will be heading home after traveling for thanksgiving, and there are mounting concerns of another spike in covid cases, much like we saw after memorial day, the fourth of july, and labor day. >> we are so full and have so many critical patients that the state is helping us to find icu beds. >> reporter: the numbers are staggering. 65 americans dying from covid every hour, 114 testing positive

every minute. >> we're getting patients, covid patients transferred from as far as like 60, 70 miles away because there's just no room for them in their area hospital. >> reporter: across the country the lines for covid testing are growing longer, including in new york staten island. >> there's no reason it should take this long. everywhere you go, there's lines. it's crazy. >> reporter: but the largest nursing union says a survey of 15,000 nurses say they have never been testified, this despite major sports leagues conducting thousands of tests a week for their athletes. >>t is i absolutely outrageous that national sports stars are getting routinely tested when nurses aren't. nurses are your line of defense. they're your only line of defense. >> reporter: in the latest sign that a covid vaccine could be around the corner, a source familiar with the planning tells nbc news that united airlines is preparing to fly chartered cargo flights to help distribute doses

if pfizer's vaccine is approved by regulators. united won't confirm details but says it will support a vaccine distribution effort on a global scale. the faa says it's supporting the first mass air shipment of a vaccine vaccine. in los angeles, hundreds of thousands of doses could be stored in these state-of-the-art freezers. >> the vaccines are becoming available right at the time we're experiencing another surge, so the nurses who commonly would be the ones to administer the vaccine are needed at the bedside to care for covid patients. >> reporter: also, los angeles county, the nation's largest by population, just announced stricter restrictions. the new stay-at-home order will ban most public and private gatherings. it takes effect mondays are peter and kristen. >> gabe gutierrez in new york city today. gabe, thanks so much. dr. seline g ouchounder is

infectious disease specialty and a member of president-elect joe biden's covid-19 advisory board. doctor, good morning to you. thank you for joining us. let's dive right in. we are just coming off of the thanksgiving holiday and it will take several weeks for us to know what the exact will be in terms of increasing covid cases. as we head into christmas, what worries you most? >> well, i am worried about what's been happening over the thanksgiving holiday with respect to coronavirus transmission. we know that it takes up to 14 days for people to develop symptoms after an exposure and it can take another week or two before they get sick enough to go to the hospital and another couple of weeks after that before you start to see deaths. so if you look at that timeline, that means that a lot of people who were celebrating thanksgiving perhaps not socially distanced, outside their household bubble, will be in the hospital, unfortunately,

celebrating christmas and new year's in the icu this year. >> dr. gounder, the crisis is bad but no more acute than in the icus or hospitals that are at or over capacity. we keep hearing from health care workers who are basically at their limits. what is your plan with the new administration on day one to address the problems that hospitals are facing? >> well, one challenge is that it's not really for any administration to manufacture health care workers. that's just not something anybody can do. it takes many years of training to have new doctors and nurses. so that, unfortunately, is going to be a challenge. in contrast to the surge we had in march and april in new york city when only certain parts of the country were really being hit hard, at that time we could pull doctors and nurses from other parts of the country to help. but now that the entire country is experiencing a surge, it's really going to be difficult to pull health care workers from one area to help in another.

>> dr. gounder, you, the biden transition team, has just started to coordinate with the trump administration after a delay. are you confident that you're back on track and that you will be on track to distribute a vaccine on day one in office? >> look, we're working very, very hard to make sure that we are on track to start distributing vaccines. i think you will actually see the beginnings of vaccine distribution even before january 20th and that's a good thing. we really do want to see health care workers and persons who are at risk of severe disease, whether they're the elderly or people with underlying medical conditions or communities are color, we really want to see the vaccine get to people as soon as possible so we can start to benefit from some of these scientific advancements. >> all right, dr. gounder, thank you so much. appreciate you joining us this morning. >> my pleasure. like almost everything else this holiday season, the pandemic has had a dramatic

effect on the retail industry. the post-thanksgiving rush is unlike anything we've seen before. nbc business correspondent jo ling kent has the very latest on that. jo, good morning. >> reporter: hey, peter, hey, kristen, good morning to you guys. despite the economic crisis, the pandemic has accelerated the huge move to online shopping. the long lines we saw at stores this year were not necessarily to get inside the stores but for curbside pickup and buy online and pick up in store. the pandemic very quickly changing the way we shop, perhaps for good. the dash for black friday looking remarkably different this season. >> it feels like saturday or like a sunday, normal weekend. >> reporter: crowds were thin and masked up. >> keep your mask up above your nose while you shop around. >> reporter: but shoppers still demolishing records, spending online like never before. >> i can sit in front of my machine and hit five stores at the same time. >> reporter: online black friday sales are on track to hit a record-breaking $9.6 billion,

soaring up to 29%. do the math, that's shoppers spending more than $6 million a minute. >> we see a lot of spending across products that keep people connected and keep people occupied. so video games and board games. >> reporter: and many of those orders placed for curbside pickup. >> it allows people to purchase online, visit the store and pick up their items later. it allows them to avoid shipping costs. it's seen an increased level of popularity. >> reporter: for those who did venture out stores were prepared, with sanitation stations, markers for social distancing and a limit on how many can shop inside at once. to keep both front-line workers and customers safe, some stores selling super hot items online only to discourage crowds. despite more than 20 million workers on unemployment and a long string of retail

bankruptcies this year, holiday spending is expected to rise up to 5.2%. the frenzy of spending means checking off your list early is more critical than ever, with shipping delays anticipated and less to choose from. >> because of the decisions retailers made early this year, they didn't buy a thousand yellow sweaters in extra small because they don't want to be left with that inventory if they don't sell it off. >> reporter: as we head into cyber monday and cyber week as it's known, according to adobe, the biggest discounts online will be computers, electronics, appliances and toys. that's basically what's selling the fastest. you've got star wars toys, hot wheels, super mario 3-d, apple air pods and air fryers, guys. >> i was starting to take notes quickly. i hadn't heard air fryers was a hot thing. by the way, amazon is a dominant player. now they're on a record hiring

spree, aren't they? >> reporter: yeah. amazon has been hiring at breakneck speed bringing on half a million workers this year so far. because of the huge demand we're seeing from the pandemic. so we're talking about warehouse workers all across the country as well as software and hardware engineers, plus corporate workers at their campuses all across the country. what's remarkable is that this number, guys, reportedly does not include any seasonal holiday jobs or the thousands of delivery drivers you see out there. there are also delivery service providers. those folks are often contractors. so this comes as amazon and its ceo, jeff bezos, facing allegations of antitrust in washington. the size of amazon under federal scrutiny right now in a big way, guys. >> a good time to remind folks it's small business saturday. support your local businesses today. jo, thank you so much. >> indeed. get going on that holiday shopping. good reminder. we want to head overseas now and turn to iran which is

threatening revenge this morning, a day after its top nuclear scientist was assassinated outside tehran. iran blaming israel and the increased tensions could spell trouble for the incoming biden administration. molly hunter has the very latest. molly, good morning to you. >> reporter: kristen, peter, good morning. no comment yet from the white house. no comment from israel yet. but it was just two weeks ago "the new york times" was reporting that president trump had to be dissuaded from launching a strike on iran for fear that it would escalate a broader regional conflict, and this morning that's exactly the fear. this morning, iran accusing israel of assassinating its top nuclear scientist in a roadside ambush outside of tehran. the foreign minister pointing to israel calling it an act of state terror. iranian state media published photos showing the aftermath. a black suv with bullet holes, blood streaked on the ground. nbc news has not verified the

details of the attack. iran's defense minister now saying there was also an explosion. state media reporting that gunmen were lying in wait along the road. for the last two decades. mohsen fakhrizadeh was the architect behind the effort to design an atomic warhead. >> he was the most significant person in the most significant military and scientific project in iran, so you can deduct from that, he is the iranian dr. strangelove. >> reporter: iranian scientists have been killed before. israel always suspected but never confirmed. two years ago israeli prime minister netanyahu called him out by name. >> remember that name, fakhrizadeh. >> reporter: iranian officials maintain it's for peaceful purposes, not weapons. >> there is a feeling of anger and anxiety here. many iranians feel that this may

be the first strike in a chain of events before president trump leaves office, while senior iranian officials are calling for hard revenge. >> reporter: tensions rising at the ending of a year that started with america killing iran's top military commander. now, anything president trump does now could complicate president-elect biden's plans to re-engage with iran, but it all comes down to how iran responds. iran's supreme leader tweeting this morning, take a look, they will investigate this crime and firmly prosecute its perpetrators and its commanders. that's not the same strong language we saw from the foreign minister. peter, kristen. >> molly hunter reporting from london for us. thank you so much. back here in washington this morning, president trump on twitter touted the killing of the iranian scientist, but here at home, he's still dealing with yet another big defeat in court as he tries to challenge the election results. nbc's white house correspondent, kelly o'donnell, has the very latest this morning.

kelly, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, peter. president trump used his twitter megaphone to sendi out news reports about the death of that iranian nuclear scientist. although the white house and u.s. are not commenting on what happened or who is responsible. today president trump is at camp david. marine one ferried him from the grounds of his virginia private golf property. while the president played that course, another of his election cases was rejected by a pennsylvania appeals court that found no merit to claims the trump campaign had been treated differently than biden's. the court found calling an election unfair does not make it so, charges require specific allegations and then proof. we have neither here. the president also made the false statement on twitter that president-elect joe biden can only enter the white house as president if he can prove that his, quote, ridiculous 80 million votes were not fraudulently or illegally obtained. well, president-elect joe biden has no such burden. vote totals are certified by states and the outcome will be

finalized next month by the electoral college. when that happens, president trump has said he would accept the need to move out of the white house. but until then he plans to keep fighting, with one trump lawyer even tweeting that they hope to appeal this pennsylvania case to the u.s. supreme court. the president also plans to keep campaigning himself, saying he will go to georgia next week to help the two republican senators there who are facing runoff elections that will determine control of the u.s. senate. peter. >> kelly o'donnell on the north lawn of the white house this morning. kelly, thank you very much. let's turn now to bill karins who's in for dylan this morning. he's got our first check of the holiday travel forecast. a lot of people undoubtedly going to be on the roads despite these warnings not to travel this weekend, bill. what's it looking like? >> unfortunately, we've got a big storm coming, especially for sunday into monday. now we're watching the storm starting to brew in areas of texas. already starting to snow in north texas and amarillo, heavy rain around houston.

senior business correspondent and she is here to help us find the best ways to shop small. steph, good morning. great to see you. >> hey, guys. >> steph, let me get this started if i can right now. i feel like how we spend right now is going to impact what our communities look like when this pandemic finally passes, right? a lot of people are spending their money on those big box stores either online or in person, but how do we support those local businesses? >> we've got to do it. we talk all about the importance of shopping local, but this year we've got to put our money where our mouth is and actually doing it. there's some real advantages to it. think about even before the holidays, there have been all sorts of shipping delays this year. because of the pandemic, most of us have shifted to online shopping and there's been massive delivery delays. well, that boewon't be the case you're shopping local at your regular stores on main street. most stores have curbside pickup so reach out to those stores, order your products and you can

get them same day. that's a huge positive. you can do that at big box stores too but that means a drive out to the mall and that's a whole production. if you just do it in your hometown, you'll help those businesses stay afloat. also, think about this very weekend. november and december are when all sorts of small businesses make the lion's share of money they do through the whole year, so think about where you normally would be spending. maybe this weekend, peter, is when you traditionally go to a local bar or restaurant with a bunch of your home boys. maybe this is when you do yoga class with your friends on family. we know we don't get to do that this year but you can still go to that restaurant, go to that yoga center, buy a gift certificate and maybe give that to your friends that you don't get to go out with. make it an iou. next year we're going hard to this bar. >> i'm going to yoga with my home boys, mix it up a little bit. >> let's put this into broader perspective, steph, because a

lot of people watched as the dow did hit a record high this week but it sort of underscores the difference between wall street and main street because you have more than 160,000 small businesses that have gone out of business. 60% of them expected to be closed permanently, steph. so why is it so important to support small businesses? >> this pandemic has been devastating for small business in n lack of funding, and now here we are with more restrictions. so look across the country. in september we saw 25% of small businesses shut down. in places like new york city, one in five small businesses. in other cities it was e of small businesses were closed in september so we've got to get creative, not just because, oh, we care about these businesses, but six months from now you're going to want them because you're going to need them when you think about what you're buying for yourself or family, think nontraditional normally you wouldn't think i'm

going to get kristen a certificate to a dry-cleaners this year. that might not be the number one thing you want, but six months from now you'll need the dry-cleaner. hair salons, landscaping services, pre-pay for things you know you'll want months from now because you want those businesses to be there. >> that's a good way to think about it thank you so much. >> those gift cards are kind of like investing in your local businesses even if you don't get a product, you keep them alive. good advice. >> great advice. coming up, we'll have the latest craze for travel fans flights to nowhere and other pretend travel adventures. and who knew people would stand in line for airplane food? after these messages music pl ♪ sorry, mom. she's doing her thing.

beautiful lights of san jose as the sun begins to rise on a very chilly saturday morning. thank you so much for starting your weekend with us. i'm kira klapper. vianey arana has a look at our microclimate forecast. hey, v. >> hey, kira. it is so cold right now. 36 degrees in san jose. and it's going to be a pretty cool, comfortable afternoon with the sunshine eventually coming out and it's going to stay dry. look at the temperature trend. stay in the 30s, at least through 8:00 a.m. bundle up as you head out the door. it will be a comfortable afternoon. you'll want to maybe take some light layers but look at this. livermore, 32 degrees. so heavy layers now. light layers later because eventually by around 12:00, 1:00, it will be sunshine. but for me being a california girl, i know for you, kira, 50s is still cold, that's for sure. so let's look at the headlines. cold nights are expected to remain and then we'll talk about

the dry pattern coming up at 7:00 a.m. >> i agree. very cold. well, covid-19 didn't stop people going out for black friday. it was a go but with some health modifications. we went to union square where there was no official tree lighting ceremony, but still a lot of people there to take photos of the tree, take a break from the shopping. shoppers are finding deals. this was the line of cars heading in to best buy in colma on friday evening. the retailer changed a few things this year to avoid crushing lines inside. and with allowing for curbside pickup, sales are being extended over a few weekends instead of just yesterday. but unfortunately, all these options didn't make for faster service. >> it's taken close to an hour and 45 minutes just to get one item. if the other item is not ready then you have to come back for that other item. >> at target, sales are also being doled out over a few

weekends so customers didn't feel the need to rush out yesterday alone. but customers still flocked to the colma location. in santa clara county, inspectors are issuing tickets to keep the shoppers sparse and flatten the spike in covid-19 cases. 6:29, coming up on "today in the bay," an annual tradition getting a covid makeover. we'll show you how christmas in the park is being changed this year to make sure everyone stays safe. all that and plus vianey's forecast at 7:00. in the meantime, this view of san francisco and send you back to the "today" show. it's not easy now with this pandemic. second harvest makes me really really happy. meatballs, mexican rice, chicken enchiladas, and mole. for almost twenty years. *speaking in spanish

saturday morning. >> i was on my fourth nap of the holiday weekend and those guys are doing flips on the mat. >> i need to do that after all of the pecan pie i ate. fears that the nation coronavirus outbreak could explode after this weekend. >> more than 13 million americans have been diagnosed with the virus. nearly 4 million of those just in november alone. nearly 193,000 new cases were reported on friday. right now more than 265,000 americans have died from covid-19. >> we've got full coverage of the crisis from coast to coast. we do want to begin with nbc's gabe gutierrez outside mt. sinai hospital in new york city. gabe, good morning to you. >> reporter: kristen, good morning. in the kmcoming days the govern plans to roll out what he calls a winter plan to stop the virus from resurging. across the country there are mounting questions about testing and vaccine distribution as hospitalizations hit record highs. this weekend, millions of americans will be heading home

after traveling for thanksgiving, and there are mounting concerns of another spike in covid cases, much like we saw after memorial day, the fourth of july, and labor day. >> we are so full and have so many critical patients that the state is helping us to find icu beds. >> reporter: the numbers are staggering. 65 americans dying from covid every hour, 114 testing positive every minute. >> we're getting patients, covid patients transferred from as far as like 60, 70 miles away because there's just no room for them in their area hospital. >> reporter: across the country the lines for covid testing are growing longer, including in new york staten island. >> there's no reason it should take this long. everywhere you go, there's lines like crazy. >> reporter: but the nation's largest nursing union says a survey of 15,000 nurses shows two-thirds have never been tested. this despite major sports leagues conducting thousands of covid tests a week from their

athletes. >> it is absolutely outrageous that national sports stars are getting routinely tested when nurses aren't. nurses are your line of defense. they're your only line of defense. >> reporter: in the latest sign that a covid vaccine could be around the corner, a source familiar with the planning tells nbc news that united airlines is preparing to fly chartered cargo flights to help distribute doses, if and when pfizer's vaccine is approved by regulators. united won't confirm details but says it will support a vaccine distribution effort on a global scale. the faa says it's supporting the first mass air shipment of a vaccine. in los angeles, hundreds of thousands of doses could be stored in these state-of-the-art ultra cold freezers. >> the biggest challenge is that the vaccines are becoming available right at the time that we're experiencing another surge. so the nurses who commonly would be the ones to administer the vaccine are needed at the bedside to care for covid

patients. >> reporter: also, los angeles county, the nation's largest by population, just announced stricter restrictions. a new stay-at-home order will ban most public and private gatherings. it takes effect monday. peter and kristen. >> gabe gutierrez, thank you. like almost everything this holiday season, the pandemic has dramatically changed the way that we are doing things. black friday 2020 was no exception. nbc's business correspondent jo ling kent has the very latest on all things shopping. good morning, jo. >> reporter: good morning, peter. the pandemic has accelerated the huge move to online shopping, and the long lines we saw at stores this year were not necessarily to get inside, but for curbside pickup and buy online and pick up in store. despite the economic crisis, the pandemic is quickly changing the way we're doing all of our shopping, perhaps forever. the dash for black friday looking remarkably different

this season. >> it's like saturday or a sunday, normal weekend. >> reporter: crowds were thin and masked up. >> keep your mask up above your nose while you shop around. >> reporter: but shoppers still demolishing records, spending online like never before. >> i can sit in front of my machine and hit five stores at the same time. >> reporter: online black friday sales are on track to hit a record breaking $9.6 billion, soaring up to 29%. do the math, that's shoppers spending more than $6 million a minute. >> we see a lot of spending across products that kind of keep people connected and keep people occupied. so video games and board games. >> reporter: and many of those orders placed for curbside pickup. >> it allows consumers to purchase online and then visit the store and pick up their items later. it allows them to avoid shipping costs. it's seen an increased level of popularity during this period. >> reporter: for the shoppers who did venture out, stores were prepared with sanitizing

stations, markers for social distancing and limits on how many customers can shop inside at once. to keep both front-line workers and customers safe, some retailers strategically selling super hot items like sony's playstation 5 online only to discourage crowds. despite more than 20 million workers on unemployment and a long string of retail bankruptcies this year, holiday spending is expected to rise up to 5.2%. the frenzy of spending means checking off your list early is more critical than ever with shipping delays anticipated and less to choose from. >> because of the decisions retailers made earlier this year, they didn't buy a thousand yellow swefraters in extra smal because they don't want to be left with that inventory if they don't sell it all. >> reporter: the deals continue

into this small business saturday and into cyber monday and cyber week. get the specifics down, get the purchasing done early so you can take advantage of that key free shipping and avoid possible delays, especially on hot items like electronics, appliances, toys, and my personal favorite, the board games that are going really fast right now, peter. >> board games, really popular still. >> monopoly. >> jo, thank you very much. appreciate it. well, that is the news. now it's time for a little weekend morning boost. thanksgiving looked a little different this year for a lot of americans. well, that includes wendy and jeff schneider. they're from texas. they brought their feast to a hospital parking lot to await their first grandchild. >> realizing that they couldn't be with their daughter, jessica, as she went into labor thursday morning, they set up a turkey tailgate right outside her window. a dinner table adorned with balloons and homemade signs. >> it's just a sign of the times, right? we can't go up because of covid

and be with our daughter, so we had to do the next best thing, which was this is as close as we can be. >> so cool. the schneiders welcomed their grandchild later that night, a baby girl weighing a little over 7 pounds. fortunately labor only lasted a matter of hours and not overnight. they would have been sleeping out there waiting for the little grandchild. >> good thing the baby wasn't born in january. it would have been a little cold out there. >> the baby's first meal was a big mac. still ahead, how cyber monday promises to be different this year. plus, where to find some unbelievable bargains next week this week on "the upper hands"... special guest flo challenges the hand models to show off the ease of comparing rates with progressive's home quote explorer. international hand model jon-jon gets personal. your wayward pinky is grotesque. then a high stakes patty-cake battle royale ends in triumph. you have the upper hands! it's a race to the lowest rate, and so much more.

upwards of 40% off on things like tvs, phones, laptops. if you see a deal, get out there and purchase it asap, and do it early. next category, appliances. so think small appliances, anything that can fit on your countertop. air fryers, instant pots, mixers, things like that shall deals upwards of 30% off. great bargains if you're looking to take up a new activity in the kitchen. the next category, apparel. you're going to be hard pressed to find any apparel retailer not offering a deal, 30%, 40%, 50% off. get out there and shop because retailers are sitting on excess inventory and they need to sell through to make room for new collections. the fourth category, cable services. if you cut the cord and are considering getting back on the bandwagon, things like verizon, at&t, xfinity, spectrum. in years past we've seen deals around 30%. this year we'll see upwards of

50% off on cable services. last but not least, my favorite category is a book, a beautiful coffee table book. last year we saw deals around 30% off. we'll see deals upward of 40% off. they make great gifts and conversation starters. >> what are the best shopping hacks to save extra money? everyone is looking to save some cash this go-around. >> absolutely. very important since so many of us are going to be surfing the web, shopping from the comfort of your own couch. make sure you have a browser extension installed. my favorite is called deal finder. it's going to automatically apply coupon codes and cash back offers right at checkout. it's free, it saves me time, it saves me money, it's amazing. definitely install it. the second tip i have, consider buying preowned, and don't forget preowned does not mean used. it just means that someone might have purchased something, they can't return it and typically
