Plus how a local group is hoping to change black friday to better help underrepresented communities. But we think conversation alone cannot be the answer. We need to start taking action and action is where true change happens. Tonight President Trump says that he may have to leave the white house, but he is far from conceding. But our top story now at 11 00 and streaming on cbsn bay area concerns tonight over the possibility of another covid surge as we take a live look at San Francisco on this thanksgiving night. Good evening. Im Andrea Nakano in for elizabeth cook. Im brian hackney. Ken is off tonight. In the past day california reported month are than 14,000 new cases and 104 deaths. The sevenday Positivity Rate is up to more than 6 depending on whether or not people followed Health Orders today, we could see another surge in cases the next few weeks. Kpix5s betty yu talked with doctors who are now preparing for the worst. Thats right, brian. Doctors say the spread of covid 19 on thanksgiving will not be seen immediately, but the cd is predicting that by mid december hospitals could be overflowing with patients in many parts of the country. California just hit a record of daily coronavirus cases yesterday. In Los Angeles Health officials expect shortages in nurse staffed icu beds in the next two weeks. We have a full icu of people with covid on ventilators who are fighting for their lives. So this is real. The numbers arent as bad here in the bay area. Still Santa Clara County saw its highest daily number of hospitalizations at nearly 200 patients yesterday. San francisco did not move into the most restrictive purple tier as expected earlier this week, but that could change. San francisco is like that last bit of sanctuary. Its like the safe house in walking dead, but youre being boxed in by all that purple. So its only a matter of time because of people moving back and forth. Ucsf Infectious Disease specialist dr. Peter chin hong said the rate of increase in cases and the number of hospitalizations are breathtaking. Ucsf, for example, recently doubled its admissions and that number has not changed this week. Were seeing more of a variety of cases. So there is essential workers. There are people who were just had pandemic fatigue. They might have been really good and stayed away from high risk environments months and months and months and then they went to that meal outdoors. Because Community Transmission is so high, dr. Chin hong says people are getting the virus in outdoor and outdoor settings. The cdc is stressing the importance of wearing a mask. It recently took a look at kansas mask mandate saying its proof face coverings work. Counties that implemented a mask mandate saw a 6 drop in cases. Counties that didnt saw cases rise 100 . Canada celebrated its thanksgiving six weeks ago and since then the number of covid cases diagnosed per day has more than doubled. The surge in the u. S. Is expected to be worse. Thanks, betty. All of those warnings mean a lot of people had to rethink their holiday traditions. For those used to big family gatherings, that meant new traditions like handing out meals to those in need outside this Planet Fitness in oakland. In san jose the annual flamingo bowl Football Game was replaced by low contact low bowling and lots of disinfectant. Its great to do activities outdoors, enjoy the sun. Its beautiful weather and were still making the most of thanksgiving even in covid. Theres lots of Silver Linings and this is one of them. The sun is shining. Theres a lot of fresh air. This is an easy compromise to celebrating consciously. Food insecurity is high during this thanksgiving. In san jose today hundreds of Homeless People and folks in need got a warm meal, but no warm place to eat it. Volunteers packed meals with all the fixings to go. Currently stricter county guidelines forbid indoor dining. With covid19 thanksgiving we had to use our imagination. I have not been able to go back to my fulltime job. Ill grateful to even have this and still have my car to sleep in. There are people far worse off than me. So believe me, im not complaining. For me to feel home, to feel support, to feel love because ive honestly sometimes feel like i dont have a place to go. Todays event was put on by a group called city team. Guests also received warm gloves, socks, a beanie and a hygiene kit. Taking a live look at macys in San Franciscos union square where tomorrow shoppers will be looking for the best black friday deals. Of course, retailers are hoping that the holiday will help their coffers and despite the pandemics financial strain on millions of families Holiday Retail sales are expected to grow by as much as 5 . In fact, online spending is expected to jump more than 30 over last year. Black friday will be different.

Instead theyll offer a percentage of sales to black and indigenous organizations. Kpix5s Susie Steimle explains how you can take part. Reporter Small Businesses like tone lay on clement street in San Franciscos Richmond District will charge full price on black friday. Theyre encouraging you to think bigger this black friday. 2020 has been a year unlike any other defined largely by discomfort. So as we settle into the comfortable familiarity of holiday traditions, a group of local shop owners wants to make sure we keep Difficult Conversations on the table. If we really want to make systemic change, that requires us to first deconstruct. It requires us to rethink and it requires us to rebuild in order to create more just systems. Reporter its a campaign to reclaim black friday. Participating Small Businesses will not offer any discounts. Instead theyll be redistributing a minimum of 10 of all sales from that weekend to black and indigenous landbased organizations. Reporter Chloe Jackman a photographer in San Francisco. She said during the protests this spring following George Floyds death blackowned businesses like hers saw a surge. There was such a crazy influx of all the products wanting to be sold. They were flying off the shelves and all this and then it goes quiet because it was just a moment. Reporter Rachel Fowler owns tone lay in San Franciscos Richmond District. 15 of her sales this weekend will go to farmers and an indigenous landbased group in santa cruz. To get people to kind of slow down and think about what theyre purchasing and where those funds are going. Reporter 2020 has been tough, but some of the bright spots were introspection and tough talks. This complain is an opportunity to keep those conversations current. But we think that conversation alone cannot be the answer. We need to start taking action and action is where true change happens. Reporter if you want a list of the participating Small Businesses, we have that for you on our website, www. Kpix. Com. In San FranciscoSusie Steimle, kpix5. Now to the president ial transition, a live look at the white house where President Trump says it may or may not be his last thanksgiving in power. For the First Time Since election day the president took questions from reporters. He says he will leave if the Electoral College votes biden in, but he has no plans to concede. He also continued to make unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. The numbers are false. The numbers are corrupt. It was a rigged election 100 . The president also thanked u. S. Troops overseas for their service. Meanwhile president elect joe biden urged americans to follow the Health Guidelines and stay away from large groups this thanksgiving weekend. Its a personal sacrifice that each of our families can make and should make to save somebody elses life. He and first ladyelect jill biden spoke remotely with front line workers and thanked them for their service. Some californians are spending thanksgiving in the dark. What caused the Power Company to pull the plug on thousands of customers tonight. Plus the holiday surprise for amazon workers making sure packages are delivered just in time for christmas. And a look at how some northern californians shows the mountains over traditional thanksgiving meals tonight. It was a breezy thanksgiving around the bay area, but things have calmed down around the bay, a beautiful look at San Francisco from treasure island. The wind isnt going to be as strong tomorrow, but some breezy spots out there the rest of tonight. Well look at imagine having to put together a thanksgiving meal in the dark. It happened for many families in Southern California today. We know all too well about the Public Safety power shutoffs. Tonight with strong winds in an attempt to prevent fires Southern California edison temporarily shut off power to customers throughout the counties. It has said that you can hear a chorus of humming from all of the generators being used. Were lucky we have a generator, but the ones they dont have, i dont know what theyre doing. Its sad to know thanksgiving was ruined like that. This was our lifesaver today. We cooked our turkey on this grill today. We used a special method there with the water to keep it moist, but it allowed us to have our thanksgiving dinner. So cal edison says more than 5,100 customers are without power with no estimate on when it will be back. Whats usually a thanksgiving event with hundreds of people was cut to just a fraction this year for the usual reason. Memorial did very Different Things this year. Today there were just 100 volunteers instead of 500 volunteers. They were working extra hard and extra early to make sure everything was just right. The church served over 2,000 free meals, many to people from atrisk communities. If youre able to give a little bit back to the community, do what you can when you can. Thats what were doing this morning. Weve always tried to build like this beloved, Loving Community where people can come and feel like they can just be themselves and belong. They did move everything outside, o course. They had all the tables six feet apart and you can imagine there was hand sanitizers everywhere. Amazon employees are feeling extra appreciated today after the Company Announced 500 million of holiday bonuses. 300 will go to fulltime employees and 150 to parttime workers. The company says it is in appreciation for all the hard work they have done, but some feel it is a coverup from the fact last month almost 20,000 employees tested positive for covid19. Appreciation. In marin county it was picture perfect for the longest running Mountain Biking event in the country. The appetite seminar that started back in 1975 usually has hundreds of mountain bikers rolling up and riding for hours near fairfax and the Pine Mountain loop trail, but, of course, this year there were a lot fewer people about and bikers had to alternate their riding schedules for physical distancing. It was really trimmed down. I noticed a lot of people did sort of alternate rides this year. So covid times. Normally 700 or 500 or 900 people. Its a shame the covid, theres not so many people out here. This is just something you have to do. The idea by the way of ride on thanksgiving day is to burn off some calories so that you can gobble up a little more come dinner time. Instead of carving turkey some spent thanksgiving carving the slopes, but this year the tradition looks a little bit different during the pandemic. Reporter anna jiles is at Boreal Mountain with those trading pie for powder. Reporter its a turkey day tradition many were glad they didnt have to give up, hitting the slopes before a big dinner, but this time with masks and social distancing. Happy thanksgiving reporter a white thanksgiving on Boreal Mountain with small reminders of the times we live in. Got to wear your mask. You got to be proper and its okay. Reporter skiers take it in stride. Just being out and getting some fresh air is an escape. I mean weve been inside for, you know, since march pretty much. So much time to get outdoors, to be outside, to get your exercise in and great weather and enjoy the outdoors. Why not . Reporter some came because covid canceled plans. With covid restrictions its kind of difficult for me to go home. So thought id just come over down from santa clara. So we drove up here a couple days, got an airbnb and thought wed hit the slopes for a little bit. Reporter people are required to wear a mask, but luckily most skiers do that anyway. The resort is limiting the number of people on ski lifts as well as the number of people allowed into the resort. Skiing is fun because its out in the open and its covid safe compared to like other sports. Reporter for some the slopes are an emotional release after a long year with hard life lessons. These times have bonded us as a family really close and im just thankful to have all those people in my life. Happy thanksgiving reporter we spoke with a group of International Students who told us they didnt fly home because of covid. Instead they came out here tonight best friends making the most of it out on the slopes. Now reporting on whats ahead in the weather, paul heggen standing by. Hey, paul. Hey, its not a bad backup plan to head up to tahoe and do a little skiing. That sounds like pretty much an ideal Holiday Weekend to me. If youre sticking around locally, things look pretty good the rest of the weekend. Still a little breezy this evening, especially in the hills. Ill show you futurecast wind gusts in a second. We are going to see a chance for some calmer winds tomorrow. Waiting for the graphics to advance here, the work from home adventure continues. The next hint of rain doesnt arrive in the forecast in the really long range data until probably next weekend. Lets check out futurecast wind gusts the rest of the night, noticeable gusts in the north bay, mountains and into solano county. The winds will calm down. Well wake up tomorrow morning with nearly calm winds, hardly a breath of air stirring around. Thats going to be the case throughout the day friday. So a noticeably less windy day. Well keep the sunshine overhead and still have temperatures that will be at least slightly above average. This is usually the point in the weathercast when i show you current temperatures with a nice view of San Francisco or somewhere else around the bay area. We get the nice view. We dont get the current temperatures. The National Weather service is having National Data issues. So we dont get the updated temperatures, but its cooling off nicely and will end up in the 30s by early tomorrow morning for inland parts of the bay area with 40s around the bay itself. A little chilly, but well make up for it heading through the day tomorrow, good weather for a post thanksgiving dog walk. Weve got more thanksgiving themed dogs this evening, comet and turbo putting on their thanksgiving finest and being very patience. Temperatures near penngrove should warm up nicely from a chilly start, mid60s by friday afternoon. A closer look at temperatures across the rest of the bay area, upper 50s along the coast, low to mid60s around the south bay with mostly mid 60s in the Santa Clara Valley and mid60s for the trivalley, a few spots confined to the lower 60s, but nice. These temperatures are running 2 to 5 degrees above average, 62 in San Francisco, 63 degrees in oakland, mid60s for the north bay and farther north up to around 60 degrees in mendocino and lake counties after 50s today. Not much change to our temperatures the next seven days, mid60s inland, low 60s by the bay, upper 50s along the coast and a few passing clouds monday, not even seeing a sprinkle out of those clouds unfortunately. Coming up in sports not only is Kyle Shanahan an offensive wizard, he finds the Silver Lining to celebrating thanksgiving during a pandemic. Alex smiths incredible comeback includes a chance to lead his team to the playoffs. A reminder, kpix5 has a new app that gives you 24 7 access to cbsn theres no bad time to start at amazon.

Two years ago former 49er alex smith was in the hospital on thanksgiving after breaking his leg. 17 surgeries later smith is back to try to lead washington into the playoffs. Alex making his third start of the year, had plenty of help around him today. Fourth quarter Antonio Gibson scored on the next play to give washington the lead. Gibson finished with three tds. Washington turned a close game into a rout thanks to 21 unanswered points. Washington wins 4116. Theyre 47, but take over first place in the nfc east. Never in my wildest dreams did i ever think id be here two years later full circle and im so appreciative of so much and so thankful to be here. The opportunity to still be doing this and enjoying every minute of it. The real Barry Sanders was spared from attending the game this morning in detroit. The lions turned it over to three straight possessions in the first half. Fourth quarter the texans poured on. It starts as a running play, but duke johnson throwns it back to watson. Watson finds a wide open will fuller for his fourth td pass, two of which went to fuller, as houston beat detroit, 4125. That prime time matchup between the ravens and steelers was postponed as baltimore deals with a covid outbreak. Quarterback Lamar Jackson is reportedly among the seven players who have tested positive and now there is some question if the game will even be played on sunday. The 49ers still have seven players on the covid list. The rest of the team practiced today as they get ready for sundays game against the rams. Kyle shanahan explained why he wont exactly be in the doghouse with his family this thanksgiving. My favorite thanksgiving tradition is getting out of work a little earlier than usual. By the time i get home usually everyones mad at me for making everyone wait all day. That will be easier this year since we dont have people. To College Hoops now, randy bennetts gaels trail Northern Iowa in the second half by as many as 16, but then tommy kuzi took over, part of a 100 run to bring st. Marys within one.
