NOW
NOW IT
NOW IT FOR HOSPITALIZATION HIGH TODAY NORTH CAROLINA SAW A HUGE JUMP IN KOFOD 19 PATIENTS FROM
YESTERDAY.
HEALTH EXPERTS AND HOSPITAL
OFFICIALS NOW EXTRA CAUTIOUS
ABOUT THIS CONTINUAL INCREASE.
+@
OFFICIALS NOW EXTRA CAUTIOUS ABOUT THIS CONTINUAL INCREASE. PLUS AND BEST DEFENSE IS
QUARANTINING FOR 14 DAYS WHEN
YOU VISIT FAMILY, THAT'S REALLY
THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL KNOW THAT
YOU'RE NOT BRINGING THE DISEASE
TO THEM.
AS PEOPLE PLAN TO SEE THEIR
FAMILIES FOR THANKSGIVING, THE
RUSH TO GET TEMPTED IS ON.
WE HAVE A LIVE LOOK AT WHAT THE
LINE ARE DOING TODAY AND THE
RUSH IS ALSO ON AT THE AIRPORT
TOO DESPITE WARNINGS NOT TO
TRAVEL.
PEOPLE ARE PACKING UP THEIR
BAGS AND TAKING TO THE SKIES TO
SEE THE LOVED ONES WHICH NEED
TO KNOW IF YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
ARE TRAVELING THIS THANKSGIVING
WITH THAT WILL SAY GOOD
AFTERNOO+@N TO YOU .
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US
FOR THE NEWS AT 4:00.
VANESSA RUFUS.
AND I'M SARA FRENCH WITH
THANKSGIVING JUST TWO DAYS AWAY
AND CASES CONTINUING TO RISE IN
THE CAROLINAS.
>> PEOPLE ARE STILL LOOKING TO
GET TESTED FOR THE CORONA VIRUS
WITH MECKLENBURG COUNTY HITTING
A NEW RECORD OF NEW DEGLI
CASES, THE COUNTY HEALTH
DE+@PARTMENT KEPT A SECOND
LOCATION OPEN TODAY TO MEET THE
DEMAND FOR TESTS
WC AND SEASHELLS.
CHLOE LESHNER LIVE AT THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON BABIES FOR
ROAD WHERE THEY'VE BEEN TESTING
ALL DAY LONG.
SO CHLOE, HOW LONG ARE THOSE
LINES TODAY?
>> IT IS VERY DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT WE SAW YESTERDAY, SARAH.
YESTERDAY PEOPLE WERE WAITING
HOURS ABOUT FIVE HOURS TO GET A
TEST.
AND RIGHT NOW HERE AT THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT ON BETIS FORD
ROAD, PEOPLE ARE DRIVING RIGHT
UP GETTING SWABBED AND LEAVING.
NOW THE PEOPLE WHO DID WAIT
UNTIL TODAY TO GET TESTED
LIKELY WON'T HAVE THOSE RESULTS
UNTIL THANKSGIVING DAY COULD
ACTUALLY EVEN BE LATER BECAUSE
THE DEMAND FOR TESTING IS SO
HIGH IT COULD PUSH THOSE
RESULTS BACK.
A VERY DIFFERENT PICTURE THAN
YESTERDAY.
>> SHORTER LINES AND WAIT TIMES
AT BOTH MECKLENBURG COUNTY
HEALTH DEPARTMENT LOCATIONS
OFFERING FREE COVA TESTS ONE ON
BETIS FORD ROAD AND THE OTHER
IN SOUTHEAST CHARLOTTE.
>> IF THERE+@ IS SOMETHING LAST
HAPPEN I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY
FAMILY MEMBERS JUST KIND OF
LIKE IF I AM NEGATIVE THEN I
WOULDN'T LOOK AT LEAST LIKE TO
GET TOGETHER.
BUT AT THIS POINT PROBABLY NOT.
BUT TESTING+@ BEFORE THE TURKEY
COMES WITH A WARNING FROM
SEVERAL HEALTH OFFICIALS
HEFTING IS+@ ONE PIECE OF
INFORMATION BUT CERTAINLY A
NEGATIVE CASCADE POINT IN TIME
DOESN'T MEAN THAT TOMORROW OR
THE NEXT DA+@Y OR THE DAY AFTER
THAT YOU COULDN'T BE POSITIVE
CORONA VIRUS TESTS ARE NOT
PERFECT AND DIFFERENT TYPES
HAVE DIFFERENT SENSITIVITIES.
>> PCR TESTS LIKE THE ONE
THEY'RE USING AT THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT ARE THE MOST
RELIABLE BUT RESULTS TAKE
LONGER.
AT THIS POINT PEOPLE MAY TURN
TO RAPID TESTS TO GET RESULTS
BEFORE THURSDAY.
>> PEOPLE THAT ARE USING IT
WHEN THEY HAVE NO SYMPTOMS
PRIOR TO TRAVEL NOT THAT KIND
OF CHIPS AWAY AT THE
PERFORMANCE OF THAT TAZEEN
+@
OF CHIPS AWAY AT THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT TAZEEN WOULD BE MORE PRONE TO KIND OF

PERFORMANCE OF THAT TAZEEN WOULD BE MORE PRONE TO KIND OF FALSE NEGATIVE WHEN DONE IN
THAT SITUATION.
>> WHILE GETTING TE+@STED COMES
WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, IT WILL
NOT GUARANTEE SAFETY AT
GATHERING'S AT BEST DEFENSES OR
CONTAINING OR 14 DAYS BEFORE
YOU VISI+@T FAMILY THAT'S REALLY
THE WAY YOU'LL KNOW THAT YOU'RE
NOT BRINGING THE DISEASE DOWN,
OF COURSE.
>> HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE
STRESSING THAT YOU HAVE SMALL
GATHERINGS LIMITED TO THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN YOUR
HOUSEHOLD.
NOW I SPOKE ONE ON ONE WITH
GABEY HARRIS.
WE'LL HAVE MORE COMING UP AT
5:00 ON HER CONCERNS IF PEOPLE
DO NOT FOLLOW THAT ADVICE LIVE
IN CHARLOTTE.
CHLOE LESHNER, DWC INSEE
CHARLOTTE CHLOE, THANK YOU .
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A
TESTING LOCATION JUST TEXT THE
WORD TEST TO SEVEN+@ OH FOUR
THREE TWO NINE THIRTY SIX
HUNDRED.
WE'LL SEND A LINK FULL OF
LOCATION STRAIGHT TO YOUR CELL
.
THE EXTRA TESTING COMES AS CASE
COUNTS AND THE CAROLINAS KEEP
RISING TODAY.
THERE WERE THIRTY ONE HUNDRED
NEW CASES IN NORTH CAROLINA.
THE STATE IS AVERAGING THIRTY
TWO HUNDRED NEW CASES EACH DAY.
VANESSA, YOU'RE TAKING A CLOSER
LOOK AT THE HOSPITAL'S PATIENT
NUMBERS.
WE'RE AT A REALLY CRITICAL
POINT RIGHT NOW.
WE CER+@TAINLY ARE ZERO AND I
NOTICED SOMETHING TODAY WHEN WE
LOOKED+@ AT THE DAILY INCREASE E
SAW WITH THE HOSPITALIZATIONS
WE ACTUALLY HAD THE LARGEST DAY
OVER DAY JUMP IN COVERED
RELATED HOSPITALIZATIONS TODAY
COMING FROM YESTERDAY.
SO IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
GRAPH HERE WE+@ ARE COUNTING NOW
ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED
TWENTY FOUR COVERED RELATED
PATIENTS IN THE HOSPITAL
STATEWIDE THIS PATIENT COUNT
ROSE BY MORE THAN 120 PEOPLE
SINCE YESTERDAY.
NOW WE SHOULD NOTE THE ONLY DAY
WITH A HIGHER INCREASE WAS BACK
ON THE 13TH AND THAT'S WHEN THE
+@
WITH A HIGHER INCREASE WAS BACK ON THE 13TH AND THAT'S WHEN THE STATE ADOPTED THOSE NEW CDC
REQUIREMENTS FOR COUNTING
PATIENTS.
WE ANTICIPATED A BIG JUMP THEN
AND WE DID SEE A BIG BUMP THAT
DAY AS PATIENTS WHO WEREN'T
PREVIOUSLY COUNTED WERE
SUDDENLY REFLECTED IN THESE NEW
PROTOCOLS.
WE TALKED TO AN INFECTIOUS
DISEASE EXPERT TODAY ABOUT WHY
WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT THIS
METRIC IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
ONE TO KEEP OUR EYE ON BECAUSE
WITHOUT THAT THEN YOU HAVE TO
START MAKING THE HARD
DECISIONS.+@
>> HE GOES ON A VENTILATOR WHO
DOES NOT WHO YOU KNOW, GET A
HOSPITAL BED AND WHO DOES NOT
FIND NOVEL WAYS TO CARE FOR
THOSE PATIENTS THAT BECOME
+@ INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT AS THE
VOLUME INCREASES.
>> AND SO WE HEARD THERE FROM
DR. KADEE PASS ALREADY FROM
ATRIUM HEALTH.
SHE ALSO TOLD ME SHE EXPECTS
THIS NUMBER TO GO EVEN HIGHER
JUST BASED ON WHAT THE CURRENT
TRENDS ARE DOING AS WELL AS THE
FACT THAT WE KNOW WE'RE GOING
INTO THE HOLIDAYS+@ AND PEOPLE
ARE GOING TO BE INTERACTING
MORE THAN WE SAW BEFORE.
WE SHOULD ALSO REMIND FOLKS
THAT HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE A
LAGGING INDICATOR BY ABOUT FOUR
TO SIX WEEKS MEANING FOR
EXAMPLE, A COUPLE DAYS AGO WHEN
WE SAW OUR HIGHEST DAILY CASE
JUMP AT FORTY FIVE HUNDRED NEW
CASES.
WE'RE STILL NOT AT THAT POINT
WE'RE ABOUT FOUR TO SIX WEEKS
OUT+@ FROM SEEING THAT BEING
REFLECTED IN THE
HOSPITALIZATIONS METRIC.
SO CERTAINLY CONCERNING TO
THINK ABOUT SARAH VANESSA,
THANK YOU .
>> AND TODAY WE GOT NEW DATA
FROM MECKLENBURG COUNTY.
IT SHOWS A+@ NEW DAILY RECORD WS
SET ON SUNDAY.
THERE WERE MORE THAN 450 CASES
IN ONE DAY.
THE PRIOR RECORD WAS 419 CASES.
THAT RECORD WAS SET BACK IN
JULY.
AND SOUTH CAROLINA THERE WERE
MORE THAN THIRTE+@EN HUNDRED
CASES REPORTED OVER THE LAST
TWO WEEKS.
CASES HAVE RISEN SHARPLY.
DAILY CASES ARE UP BY ALMOST 40
PERCENT OVER THAT PERIOD OF
TIME.
AND RIGHT NOW THE CMBS BOARD OF
EDUCATIO+@N HOLDING AN EMERGENCY
MEETING.
THEY ARE DISCUSSING+@ GIVING THE
SUPERINTENDENT THE AUTHORITY TO
TRANSITION INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS
FROM IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION TO
REMOTE INSTRUCTION TO ENSURE
THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
STUDENTS.
THIS COMES AFTER THE C.
S DASH BOARD SHOWED AN INCREASE
IN CASES.
DISTRICT LEADERS SAY THERE WERE
90 POSITIVE CASES LAST WEEK
AMONG STUDENTS AND STAFF
MEMBERS.
THAT'S UP FROM FORTY EIGHT THE
WEEK BEFORE KNEW IT FOR CPD
JUST WRAPPING UP A PRESS
CONFERENCE WHERE THEY TALKED
ABOUT THIS STRONGER MASK
MANDATE THAT GOES INTO EFFECT
IN NORTH CAROLINA TOMORROW.
THE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WILL
CONTINUE TO OPERATE ON AN
EDUCATION AND COMPLAINT BASIS
ONLY.
THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT BE OUT
ISSUING CITATIONS TO PEOPLE IF
THEY AREN'T WEARING A FACEMASK
BUT INSTEAD WE'LL TALK TO THEM
AND EDUCATE THEM ON THE
IMPORTANCE OF WEARING ONE.

AMERICANS WAITING IN LINE, SOME
HOPING TO GET TESTED FOR COVID,
19 OTHERS WAITING HOURS JUST TO
FEED THEIR FAMILIES IN SOME

STRUGGLING TO+@ MAKE ENDS MEET.
STAGGERING.
SOMETIMES WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
FOR WE GO BY OUR DNA AND THANK
GOD THEY'RE GIVING US THE FREE

AND IT MIGHT SOON GET WORSE AT
THE END OF THE YEAR, HUNDREDS
OF MILLIONS IN FEDERAL DOLLARS

HEALTH CARE WORKERS AT A
BREAKING POINT WATCHING FIELD
HOSPITALS GO BACK UP IN PLACES
WHERE THE VIRUS HAD PEAK LONG
AGO LIKE THIS ONE IN
MASSACHUSETTS AND HOSPITAL BEDS
FILL UP IN THE NEWEST HOT SPOTS

WE'RE NOWHERE NEAR THE PEAK OF
THIS THING YET.
THIS IS THE NATION TOPS 12 AND
A HALF MILLION CONFIRMED
COVERED 19 CAS+@ES AND 250 NINE
THOUSAND DEATHS.
>> THE GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGED BY
THE LATEST VACCINE NEWS WITH
THE FIRST DOSES ON TRACK TO BE

HOLIDAYS IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

AIRPORTS, THE COUNTRY'S TOP
DISEASE EXPERTS WORRY THERE
WILL BE A LOT MORE SUFFERING
AND DEATH BEFORE THEN.
CHRIS PALONE, NBC NEWS .
>> AND WE'LL TALK A BIT MORE
ABOUT THAT TRAVEL.
SO OFFICIALS ARE WARNING FOLKS
TO NOT TRAVEL THIS HOLIDAY
SEASON BUT WE ARE STILL SEEING
A LOT OF FOLKS OVER AT THE
AIRPORT OR BILLIE JEAN SHAH WAS
MONITORING THE CROWDS OVER AT
CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS.
HEY THERE.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
SO THIS IS THE LARGEST CROWD
THE AIRPORT HAS SEEN SINCE THE
START OF THE PANDEMIC+@ ALL THE
WAY BACK IN MARCH.
I'M GOING, BY THE WAY AND LET
YOU JUST TAKE THIS VIEW AND
THIS IS A FURZE IN A VERY, VERY
LONG TIME.
SO 17000 PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSED TO
FLY OUT OF CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS
TODAY AND TOMORROW.
AND OF COURSE TRAVEL IS GOING
TO LOOK A LOT DIFFERENT THIS
YEAR.
LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE
CLEANING REGULATIONS YOU'LL
SEE BEFORE YOU BOARD.
NUMBER ONE BEING YOU HAVE TO
WEAR A FACE COVERING WEAR A
MASK OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE
AIRPORT.
+@
MASK OUTSIDE AND INSIDE THE AIRPORT. SOCIAL DISTANCING REMINDERS ARE
PLASTERED ALL THROUGHOUT THE
AIRPORT.
AND THERE ARE HAND FANTASIZING
+@STATIONS ALL AROUND TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU'RE KEEPING YOUR
HANDS CLEAN.
NOW ONCE YOU GET ON THE PLANE
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IN BETWEEN
FLIGHT CREWS ARE WIPING DOWN
SEATS, ARM RESTS AND TRAY
TABLES.
THERE'S A NEW AIR FILTRATION
SYSTEM CIRCULATING NEW AIR
EVERY TWO TO FOUR MINUTES.
AND THERE ARE WEEKLY
ELECTROSTATIC FOGGING
CLEANINGS.
THAT'S JUST A FANCY WORD FOR A
DEEP CLEANING MAKING SURE THAT
ALL OF THAT GRIM AND GRIME GETS
IN FROM IN BETWEEN THE SEATS.
SO I TOOK ALL THIS INFORMATION
TO A FEW PASSENGERS TODAY AND
ASKED THEM IF THEY FEEL NERVOUS
ABOUT FLYING AND THE MYTH OF
THE PANDEMIC WITH ALL THESE NEW
REGULATIONS.
TAKE A LISTEN.
WELL, NO.
AND I'M PRAYING I GOT MOST
MYSELF.
SO YOU COVER ABOUT.
YEAH, MAN.
THAT'S.
>> I HAVEN'T FLOWN SINCE EARLY
MARCH.
SO ARE YOU NERVOUS ABOUT THE
KIND.
YEAH I AM A BIT I WOULD SAY
FOLLOW ON HAND SANITIZER WIPES
EXTRA MASS.
HAVE A SEAT BY MYSELF SO TRY TO
TAKE THE PRECAUTIONS NECESSARY.
SO YOU SEE THOSE PASSENGERS ARE
COMING PREPARED AND+@ THAT'S
SOME+@THING THAT HEALTH OFFICIAS
RECOMMEND YOU DO KEEP YOUR MASK
+@ON.
HAVE YOUR HAND SANITIZER SOCIAL
DISTANCE AND IF YOU DO PLAN ON
FLYING, KNOW THAT THEY'RE STILL
GOING TO BE A PRETTY LARGE
CROWD.
SO YOU'RE HERE EARLY.
AND AGAIN, DON'T FORGET THAT
MASK YOU'RE GETTING FROM THE
CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT.
>> I'M BILLIE JEAN SHOP.
I'LL SEND IT BACK TO BILLIE

THE DOW TRADED ABOVE THIRTY

INVESTORS WERE ENCOURAGED BY
THE LATEST PROGRESS ON

VACCINES AND N+@EWS THAT THE

TRADERS WERE ALSO ENCOURAGED BY

OFFICIALS SAY IF YOU BOUGHT
SUSHI AT THOSE LOCATIONS DURING

COUNTRY.
>> COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK,

AND IT WAS A DRY CHILLY DAY
TODAY.
BUT WE'VE GOT A WARM UP TO COME

BUT BEFORE WE GET THERE, I'M

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE TIMING
COMING UP AND MY FULL FORECAST

RIGHT NOW I'VE LOST A LOT OF MY OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS.

EVERY YEAR AT THIS AGE I F+@EEL
LIKE IT FEELS LIKE IF I DON'T
GET THINGS STARTED NOW I WON'T
BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE FUTURE.
AND THAT'S REALLY SCARY WHEN
THERE'S NOT MUCH TO BE
PRODUCTIVE ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
>> PEOPLE WITH HOME FOR THE
FIRST TIME.
YEAH, WE'RE IN HUGE NUMBERS.
IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.
>> THERE'S A LOT HAPPENING IN
THE WORLD RIGHT NOW.
EVERYTHING FROM RACE RELATIONS
TO NAVIGATING THE ECONOMY TO
BEING HYPER FOCUS ON THINGS
HAPPENING WITH THIS ELECTION
REALLY HAS THE WORLD KIND OF
RUNNING AT HYPER SPEED.
>> WHEN YOU TURN ON INSTAGRAM
AND YOU SEE SOMEONE THAT LOOKS
LIKE OUR OLDER BROTHER BEING
SHOT ON A CAMERA WHEN YOU GO
INTO YOUR FACEBOOK CHAT AND THE
FIRST THING YOU SEE IS A
MESSAGE ABOUT HOW BRIONA TAYLOR
HASN'T RECEIVED JUSTICE.
AND THOSE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF
YOUR DAY.
IT'S CRIPPLING.
SO GOING TO A SCORNED TEEN
ALONE AND I'M REALLY, REALLY
LEANING INTO ALL OF THE VIRTUAL@
+@
ALONE AND I'M REALLY, REALLY LEANING INTO ALL OF THE VIRTUAL@ PLATFORMS TO STAY CONNECTED
WITH MY VERY CLOSE FRIENDS AND
FAMILY.
AND AT FIRST I'M SURE IT SOUNDS
LIKE THIS REALLY SILLY IDEA OF
LIKE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES WHO
ARE LISTLESS WHICH WE'RE JUST
GOING TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES AND
AND THEN DRILLING IT DOWN INTO
THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE OF IT HOW
WE CAN CONNECT AND HOW CAN WE
MAKE THIS CONFIDENTIAL HOW TO
MAKE THIS SECURE.
THEY ALL CONSPIRE+@ AND THEY
BUILT SECRET TUNNELS BECAUSE
THEY REALLY WANTED TO CONNECT.
WE'RE STRUGGLING WITH THIS
CONCEPT OF HOW DO WE CONNECT
WITH EACH OTHER AND HOW CAN WE
BE IN A COMMUNITY WITH EACH
OTHER.
AND SO KIDS ARE VERY INNOVATIVE
AND THEY WILL FIGURE IT OUT.
THAT CONNECTION IS EVERYTHING.
AND COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING.
THOSE FRIENDS CERTAINLY HAS AN
OUTLET TO FEEL BETTER.
AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT
YOU WANT ABLE TO HAVE SUCH
SITUATIONS.
I KNOW THIS IS A SITUATION
THAT'S GOING TO BE HAPPENING
FOR A FEW YEARS.
+@I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO
HAPPEN NEXT.
WE'LL HAVE TO SEE .
IT IS TOUGH.
IT CERTAINLY IS.
AND AS FAR AS OTHER WAYS THAT
YOU CAN USE TECHNOLOGY TO HELP
WITH MENTAL HEALTH, WE HAVE
SOME APPS TO RECOMMEND ON YOUR
SCREEN RIGHT NOW.
WHAT'S UP MOOD KIT MINDSHIFT
TALK SPACE IN HOW A FIRE JUST A
FEW IF YOU DO WANT TO TRY TO
USE SOME TECHNOLOGY TO HELP
COPE WITH ALL THE HARD THINGS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
SARA, GREAT INFORMATION.
VANESSA, THANK YOU SO
IMPORTANT.
NOW WE WANT TO GET A CHECK ON
THE WEATHER.
I JUST GOT IN FOR BRAD TODAY.
A COOLER DAY TODAY BUT MORE
NORMAL TOWARD THE END OF
NOVEMBER, RIGHT?
I YEAH.
TEMPERATURES ARE ACTUALLY GOING
TO CLIMB ABOVE NORMAL.
SARAH, AS WE WORK OUR WAY INTO
THANKSGIVING AND TODAY WAS
CERTAINLY A CHILLY DAY THIS
MORNING.
BOY, WE STARTED OFF IN THE 20S+@
AND 30S.
TWENTY FIVE IN BOONE.
TWENTY EIGHT IN LINCOLN.
10:00 THIS MORNING.
THIRTY TWO IN CHARLOTTE AND 34
DEGREES THAT LOW IN SURAT.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE SITTING
PRIMARILY IN THE 40S AND 50S.
WE'RE AT 43 AND BOOD THAT
EVENING IN HICKORY YOU'RE
SITTING RIGHT AT 50 DEGREES.
FIFTY THREE IN CHARLOTTE AND 55
IN LANKESTER.
SO CERTAINLY A COOL DAY TODAY.
A COLD START THIS MORNING.
THE GOOD NEWS IS OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE QUITE AS
COLD+@ BECAUSE WE'VE GOT MORE
CLOUDS AROUND.
AND AS WE WORK OUR WAY THROUGH
THE NIGHTTIME HOURS, OUR CLOUDS
WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
SO RIGHT AROUND 40 IN
CHARLOTTE.
UPPER 30S FARTHER TO THE
+@
CHARLOTTE. UPPER 30S FARTHER TO THE NORTHWEST 20S OR UPPER 20S I
SHOULD SAY TO RIGHT AROUND
FREEZING IN THE MOUNTAINS AS WE
+@ KICK OFF TOMORROW MORNING.
SO JUST A HEADS UP YOU'LL
PROBAB+@LY STILL NEED THE HEAT
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT ALTHOUGH IT
WON'T BE QUITE AS COLD AS IT
WAS THIS MORNING.
SO AGAIN, THE CLOUDS ARE GOING
TO HELP US OUT OVERNIGHT.
WE'VE GOT ISOLATED TO SCATTERED
SHOWERS CHANCE WEDNESDAY AND
THEN IT LOOKS LIKE A SLIGHTLY
BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN LATE
WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY
WHICH IS THANKSGIVING.
SO TAKING A LOOK ACROSS THE
COUNTRY RIGHT NOW IT'S GOING
ON.
WE ARE QUIET IN THE SOUTH+@EAST
NOT DEALING WITH ANY RAIN.
BUT AS WE LOOK FARTHER TO THE
WEST WE'VE GOT A STORM SYSTEM
+@DEVELOPING OVER THE TEXAS
PANHANDLE AND THAT STORM SYSTEM
WILL HEAD OUR WAY AND BRING US
THE CHANCE FOR A FEW SHOWERS.
SO HIGH PRESSURE TODAY ACTUALLY
KEPT US DRY AND IT ACTUALLY
STARTED TO INCREASE THE CLOUDS
A LITTLE BIT AS WELL.
BUT THIS STORM SYSTEM WILL
TRACK JUST TO OUR NORTH.
IT WILL SWING A COLD FRONT
THROUGH OUR AREA LATE TOMORROW
INTO THANKSGIVING DAY OUT AHEAD
OF IT THOUGH IT WILL BE WARMER
TOMORROW AND THANKSGIVING DAY
AND THEN BY FRIDAY THIS FRONT
WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA.
AND ALTHOUGH USUALLY A COLD
FRONT WILL COOL US DOWN JUST A
BIT.
TEMPERATURES WILL STILL STAY
ABOVE NORMAL GOING INTO FRIDAY
BECAUSE OUR WINDS AREN'T
NECESSARILY GOING TO BRING DOWN
THAT VERY FRIGID AIR LIKE WE
TYPICALLY WOULD SEE .
SO CLOSER TO HOME TONIGHT IT IS
QUIET.
WE DO HAVE AN INCREASE IN
CLOUDS THOUGH OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT.
WEDNESDAY MORNING EIGHT O'CLOCK
WE'LL START OFF WITH SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS BY THE
AFTERNOON.
THOSE SHOWERS A LITTLE BIT MORE
ISOLATED SO YOU CAN SEE HERE
FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING AND
THEN OVERNIGHT WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY WE'LL HAVE SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS AROUND.
BUT AS YOU WAKE UP THURSDAY
MORNING, SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING, EXPECT SOME SHOWERS
OUT THERE.
IT WILL BE PRETTY HEAVY AT
TIMES AS WELL.
BUT BY THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON
WE'LL ACTUALLY START TO
SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE IN THE
WAY OF SUNSHINE AND THE RAIN
CERTAINLY MOVES OUT BY THE
AFTERNOON AS WELL.
SO TALKING ABOUT THE
TEMPERATURES HERE, THE AVERAGE
IS FIFTY NINE THIS TIME OF THE
YEAR.
TOMORROW WE'LL FINALLY CLIMB
RIGHT AT AVERAGE OR EVEN A
LITTLE BIT ABOVE 60.
TOMORROW 70.
THANKSGIVING DAY UPPER 60S
FRIDAY AND THEN TEMPERATURES
START TO DROP INTO THE MIDDLE
50S BY SUNDAY.
NOTICE THE 74 CASTS THAT RAIN
TOMORROW MAINLY OVERNIGHT
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.
TEMPER+@ATURES THOUGH WE'LL STAT
TO DOVE GOING INTO NEXT WEEK.
WE'VE GOT A PRETTY STRONG FRONT
THAT MOVES IN EAR+@LY NEXT WEEK
SO WE'VE GOT OVERNIGHT LOWS IN
THE 20S.
BY TUESDAY WITH HIGHS ONLY IN
THE 40S.
SARAH, I SHOULD THANK YOU .
WE'VE ALL BEEN KNOWN TO GIVE
OUR DOG SOME TABLE SCRAPS ON
THANKSGIVING.
BUT WHAT'S OK FOR PETS TO EAT?
BUT WHAT WILL MAKE THEM SICK?
+@
BUT WHAT'S OK FOR PETS TO EAT? BUT WHAT WILL MAKE THEM SICK? WE'VE GOT THE LIST THAT YOU'LL
DEFINITELY WANT TO SEE .
COMING UP AFTER THE BREAK
.
. >>
. >> ALL
. >> ALL RIGHT, PET PARENTS LISTEN UP HERE.
>> FOLKS ASK THIS QUESTION
EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
+@
>> FOLKS ASK THIS QUESTION EVERY SINGLE YEAR. WHAT?
FROM MY+@ THANKSGIVING TABLE.
CAN I GIVE MY PETS SAFELY?
WELL, THERE IS A GRAPHIC THAT
IS FLOATING AROUND ONLINE THAT
CLAIMS TO SHOW WHICH FOODS ARE
SAFE TO SER+@VE YOUR PETS.
BUT IS IT TRUE?
JASON PUCKETT, YOU'RE MY TEAM.
WE ALL KNOW THAT PERFECT
THANKSGIVING SPREAD THE BIG
TURKEY, ALL THOSE SIDES AND NO
ONE IS MORE EXCITED ABO+@UT ALL
THAT DELICIOUS FOOD THAN THE
FAMILY DOG.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THIS VIRAL PLATE.
IT'S A LIST OF WHAT YOU CAN AND
CAN'T FEED YOUR DOG ON
THANKSGIVING.
NOW ON THE BAD SIDE, TURKEY
SKIN GRAVY STUFFING, BREAD
DOUGH, CANDIED YAMS ETC. ON THE@
GOOD SIDE.
ONLY DOG FOOD SINCE WE KNOW
SOME OF US ARE WEAK AND LIKE TO
SPOIL OUR PETS AND OTHERS ARE A
BIT CLUMSY AND MIGHT DROP SOME
FOOD.
WE'RE VERIFYING IF THIS IS
TRUE.
TO FIND OUT WE CHECKED WITH THE
TEXAS A&M VETERINARY SCHOOL,
THE AMERICAN VETERINARY MEDICAL
ASSOCIATION AND THE AMERICAN
KENNEL CLUB.
SHORT ANSWER YES.
MOST OF THE THINGS ON THIS LIST
SHOULDN'T BE FED TO PETS BUT
SOME ARE WORSE THAN OTHERS.
RAISINS, GRAPES, CHOCOLATE
STUFFING WITH ONIONS, GARLIC
AND MACADAMIA+@ NUTS ARE HIGHLY
TOXIC TO YOUR PETS IF THEY GET
ANY OF TH+@IS.
CALL THE VENTS.
LET THE REST OF THE LIST AREN'T
QUITE AS SERIOUS.
TURKEY SKIN, FAT TRIMMINGS,
BUTTER AND GRAVY AREN'T GREAT.
THEY'RE FILLED WITH FAT WHICH
THE AVMA SAYS CAN LEAD TO
PANCREATITIS.
BREAD DOUGH IS DANGEROUS
BECAUSE IT CAN SWELL INSIDE A
+@PET STOMACH AND SPICES LIKE
SAGE AND NUTMEG AREN'T GREAT
EITHER BUT ARE TYPICALLY FOUND
IN SMALL DOSES AND SHOULDN'T BE
CONCERNING.
NOW A STORY ABOUT MUSHROOMS ARE
FINE.+@
CORN IS FINE.
THE COBS CAN BE A CHOKING
HAZARD AND COOK DAMS ARE FINE
BUT AVO+@ID A LOT OF SUGAR.
SO BOTTOM LINE YEAH FOR THE
MOST PART THI+@S LIST IS CORRECT
.+@
A LOT OF THANKSGIVING FOOD IS
BAD FOR YOUR FURRY FAMILY
MEMBERS.
NOW PETS WILL BE PETS AND IF
THEY ACCIDENTALLY GET SOME OF
THIS, KEEP AN EYE ON THEM AND
CALL YOUR VET IF THEY START
ACTING DIFFERENTLY.
AND IF YOU NEED TO DOUBLE
CHECK.
WE HAVE A NICE LIST OF ALL
THESE FOODS UP ON OUR WEB SITE
WITH E-VERIFY.
I'M JASON PUCKETT.
>> VERY INTERESTING.
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
PETS ARE PEOPLE TOO BUT JUST
NOT ALWAYS WITH DIGESTION.
ALL RIGHT.
STILL SEE AND SEE CHARLOTTE.
IT IT'S BEEN ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS
SINCE WE GOT OUR STAY AT HOME
ORDERS HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA.
BUT FOR MANY HEALTH CARE
WORKERS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO STAY HOME.
IN OUR NEXT HALF HOUR WE'RE
GOING TO HEAR FROM A NORTH
CAROLINA NURSE WHO JUST GOT HER
FIRST WEEK OFF IN MORE THAN 240
DAYS.
WOW.
DAYS. WOW. >>
WOW. >>
>>
IF
IF YOU
IF YOU ARE JUST NOW JOINING US, SAD FOR 30. HERE ARE THE TOP STORIES WE ARE
FOLLOWING TODAY.
A BIG INCREASE IN NORTH
CAROLINA HOSPITALIZATIONS WE
ARE SEEING THE BIGGEST DAY O+@VR
DAY JUMP OF THE PANDEMIC FOR
THIS METRIC.
AND IT IS A NEW+@ RECORD.
THE COVID PATIENT COUNT ROSE BY
MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED TWENTY
PEOPLE SINCE YESTERDAY TAKING
TO A STATEWIDE COUNT OF ONE
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY
FOUR PEOPLE.
RIGHT NOW SEE HAMAS IS HOLDING
AN EMERGENCY MEETING.
THE BOAR+@DS DISCUSSING GIVING
THE SUPERINTENDENT THE
AUTHORITY TO TRANSITION
INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS FROM
IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION TO REMOTE
INSTRUCTION TO ENSURE THE
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF STUDENTS.
THIS COMES AFTER THE CNS
DASHBOARD REVIEW SHOWED AN
INCREASE IN CASES.
THIS WEEK DISTRICT LEADERS SAY
+@ THERE WERE 90 POSITIVE CASES
LAST WEEK AMONG STUDENTS AND
STAFF MEMBERS.
THAT IS UP FROM 48 THE WEEK
BEFORE.
AND CMPD IS SHEDDING SOME LIGHT
ON HOW IT PLANS TO ENFORCE THE
STRONGER MASK MANDATE THAT GOES
INTO EFFECT IN NORTH CAROLINA
TOMORROW.
THE DEPARTMENT SAYING TODAY
THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO
OPERATE ON AN EDUCATION AND
COMPLAINT BASED BASIS ONLY.
THEY SAY THEY WILL NOT BE
ISSUING CITATIONS TO FOLKS NOT
WEARING A MASK BUT INSTEAD PLAN
TO TALK TO THEM, EDUCATE THEM
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING
ONE.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR STICKING
WITH US FOR THE NEWS HERE AT
FOUR THIRTY ON VANESSA RUFOUS.
AND I'M SARA FRENCH.
IT HAS BEEN ALMOST EIGHT MONTHS
SINCE THE STAY AT HOME ORDER
WAS PUT INTO PLACE HERE IN
NORTH CAROLINA.
BUT FOR SO MANY HEALTH CARE
WORKERS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE
TO STAY HOME.
THEY'VE BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES
+@
TO STAY HOME. THEY'VE BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES BATTLING THIS VIRUS.
MADDIE GARDNER SPOKE WITH ONE
NORTH CAROLINA NURSE WHO JUST
GOT HER FIRST WEEK OFF AND MORE
THAN TWO HUNDRED FORTY DAYS.
>> WE'RE ALL DOING THAT.
WE'RE OK.
>> THAT WAS SAV+@ANNAH HAYES
EIGHT MONTHS AGO JUST DAYS INTO
THE CORONA VIRUS OUTBREAK IN
THE TRIAD.
NEIT+@HER SHE NOR HER COWORKERS
AT NOVANT HEALTH KNEW WHAT WAS
IN STORE.
SHE AND I CALLED UP TODAY ON
THE START OF HER FIRST WEEK OFF
SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.
I K+@NEW WE WERE GOING TO BE IN
IT FOR THE.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT'+@S
GOING TO GO AWAY UNTIL THERE'S
AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OR
EFFECTIVE VACCINE.
HAYES IS NOW IN A NEW ROLE BUT
SHE SPENT THE FIRST PART OF THE
PANDEMIC AT NOVANT HEALTH
SCREENING CENTERS.
SHE SAYS EVEN THOUGH THAT SEEMS
LIKE AGES AGO KOVE IT'S STILL
THERE.
FOR HAYES THE PANDEMIC HAS BEEN
A MARATHON RUNNING FOR SO LONG
THAT AT THIS POINT IT'S HARD TO
DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN WORK AND
HOME LIFE.
LEARNING TO SHUT THAT COVID
MINDSET OFF AT CERTAIN TIMES OF
THE DAY.
YOU STAY IN THAT MODE SO OFTEN
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU WORK
SOMEWHERE LIKE A SCREENING
SITE.
IT'S DIFFICULT WHEN YOU COME
HOME AND YOU JUST FEEL LIKE
YOU NEED TO CONTINUE TO PROTECT
YOURSELF CONSTANTLY EVEN AT
HOME WHEN YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
RELAX.
SO MUCH HAS CHA+@NGED SINCE WE
FIRST MET EIGHT MONTHS AGO.
BUT HER PLEA TO THE PUBLIC TO
HELP FRONTLINE WORKERS FIGHT
THE VIRUS HAS NOT.
RIGHT NOW I'M IN MY REALLY DONE
BY LINE IF AT ALL POSSIBLE STAY
AT HOME FOR THANKSGIVING.
YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY WELL
THERE YOU HAVE IT.
>> A MESSAGE FROM A FRONTLINE
WORKER THERE.
THAT BRINGS US HER+@E TO OUR NET
HEALTH RELATED STORY.
CANCER CONCERNS THAT ARE
RELATED TO THE PANDA THIS YEAR.
DOCTORS HAVE NOTICED THAT MORE
AND MORE PEOPLE ARE SKIPPING
REGULAR SCREENINGS AS WELL AS
CHECKUPS WHICH CAN CERTAINLY
SET FOLKS UP FOR WORSE OUTCOMES
IN THE LONG RUN.
OUR OWN CAROLYN BRUCKE HAS THIS
URGENT PLEA FROM DOCTORS TODAY.
>> EACH DAY IN THE U.S. NEARLY
SEVENTEEN HUNDRED PEOPLE DIE
FROM CANCER WHILE THREE TIMES
THAT NUMBER LEARN THEY HAVE IT.
>> WE KNOW THAT EARLY CANCER
DETECTION IS ONE OF THE BEST
WAYS GIVING PATIENTS CHANGE.
>> BUT THIS YEAR DOCTORS LIKE
JOSEPH OFMAN WORRY CANCER WILL
GO UNDETECTED IN MORE PEOPLE
THAN IN RECENT YEARS PAST.
WHY COVERED 19?
>> THE PROBLEM THAT WE'VE SEEN
OVER OVERTHINKING AND DAMAGE IS
THAT WE ARE NOT GOING TO GET
THEIR MAMMOGRAMS CYNICAL AND
ASK TO BE THESE IN THEIR PAP
SMEARS.
AND THAT'S CREATING A SITUATION
WHERE CANCER DEATHS ARE GOING
TO INCREASE AS A RESULT OF THAT
EARLY STATISTICS.
>> SO MANY PATIENTS WHO N+@EED
THOSE IMPORTANT CANCER
SCREENINGS SIMPLY AREN'T
SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS FOR
FEAR OF CATCHING COVID AT THE
DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
IN FACT, NEW NUMBERS SUGGEST
DURING THIS PANDEMIC ONE THIRD
OF ALL PATIENTS WHO NEED A
MAMMOGRAM WILL SKIP IT.
>> ANSWERS ABOUT TO BECOME THE
WORLD'S LEADING KILLER OF MEN
AND WOMEN.
WE KNOW THAT EARLY CANCER
DETECTION IS THE BEST WAY OF
BENDING THE MORTALITY.
>> THAT'S WHY DOCTORS SAY
MISSING REGULAR CANCER
SCREENINGS ISN'T AN OPTION.
YOUR LIFE MAY WELL DEPEND ON
IT.
CAROLYN BRUCKE WCNC. CHARLOTTE

NOT TODAY THOUGH.
TEMPERATURES WERE CERTAINLY
BELOW NORMAL.
FORTY SEVEN THE OFFICIAL HIGH
IN BOONE, ONLY 54 IN CHARLOTTE
CONCORD MONROE AND FIFTY SEVEN
DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON AND
SHARA'A.
IT WAS A COOLER DAY TODAY AND
WE COMPARE THESE NUMBERS OUR
CURRENT NUMBERS TO THIS TIME
YESTERDAY.
IT'S ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT UP TO
10 DEGREES COOLER AND PLACES
LIKE CHARLOTTE AND GASTONIA
WHERE NINE DEGREES COOLER RIGHT
NOW IN MONROE.
NOW WE DO HAVE SOME WARMER AIR
FARTHER TO THE SOUTH IN THE 60S
AND EVEN 70S ACROSS THE DEEP
SOUTH.
BUT YOU'LL NOTICE WE'RE IN THE
50S AND EVEN UPPER 40S TO RIGHT
AROUND 50 FARTHER TO THE NORTH
AND NORTHEAST.
SO THIS WARMER AIR TO THE SOUTH
WILL SPREAD OUR WAY OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
TONIGHT THOUGH, IT WILL BE
CHILLY BUT NOT QUITE AS COLD AS
LAST NIGHT WILL FALL INTO THE
MID 40S BY 9:00.
AND THEN BY TOMORROW MORNING
WE'LL A+@CTUALLY HAVE QUITE A BT
CLOUD COVER AROUND.
AND AGAIN THAT'S GOING TO
ACTU+@ALLY HELP US OUT.
TEMPERATURE WISE SO WE'LL ONLY
FALL TO RIGHT AROUND 40 IN THE
CITY BY TOMORROW MORNING.
NOW TAKING A LOOK AT WHAT'S
GOING ON.
WE'VE GOT THIS AREA+@ OF LOW

THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
THIS AREA WILL TRACK OFF TO OUR

WE'LL TRACK JUST NORTH OF OUR

FRONT THROUGH HERE LATE
TOMORROW INTO THANKSGIVING DAY.
AND SO THAT'S GOING TO HELP TO
INCREASE OUR RAIN CHANCES FOR
TONIGHT THOUGH IT STAYS PRETTY
QUIET AS WE KICK OFF WEDNESDAY
MORNING, 9:00 IN THE MORNING.
WE'VE GOT SOME SCATTERED
SHOWERS TO WORK WITH, A LOT OF
CLOUD COVER AS WELL.
AND THEN THROUGHOUT THE DAY
WEDNESDAY NOT A WASHOUT
ALTHOUGH WE WILL HAVE ISOLATED
TO SCATTERED RAIN CHANCES
THROUGHOUT THE DAY WEDNESDAY.
YOU'LL NOTICE HERE NOT A WHOLE
LOT OF GREENS SHOWING UP.
HOWEVER, AS WE GO INTO

THE AREA, WE'LL HAVE SOME
SCATTERED RAIN AND EVEN SOME
HEAVY POCKETS OF RAIN TO KICK
OFF THE MORNING THURSDAY AND
THEN NOTICE BY THURSDAY
AFTERNOON.

WELL, SARA, THINGS ARE REALLY
STARTING TO STACK UP HERE.
IF YOU LOOK INSIDE THESE STORES
+@ INSIDE THE TERMINAL, THERE'S
VERY LITTLE SOCIAL DISTANCING
GOING ON AS PEOPLE TRY TO CHECK
IN THEIR BAGS.
THIS IS THE BUSIEST THAT WE'VE
SEEN THE AIRPORT SINCE THE
PANDEMIC STARTED IN MARCH AND
ONE OF THE CHECKPOINTS RIGHT
NOW IS REPORTING THE WAIT TIME
BETWEEN 21 TO 44 MINUTES.
THE HOLIDAY TRAVEL PERIOD AT

AIRPORT OFFICIALS ARE DOING

HOLIDAY WE HAD TO DO A LITTLE
BIT OF TRAVEL.
>> TRAVELERS BY CAR OR BY PLANE
HOPING THEY'RE DOING ENOUGH TO
STAY SAFE GETTING TO THEIR
DESTINATIONS.
STAY IN YOUR CAR AS MUCH
POSSIBLE.
SEEMS LIKE A REASONABLE
APPROACH NOW MOST TRAVELERS
THAT WE'VE SEEN OUT HERE HAVE
BEEN WEARING THEIR FACE
COVERING CHARLOTTE DOUGLAS ONCE
REMIND EVERYONE THAT YOU DO
HAVE TO WEAR A MASK AS SOON AS
YOU GET OUT OF YOUR+@ CAR.

ALL RIGHT, KENDALL, THANK YOU .
SOME BAD NEWS TONIGHT FOR
ANYONE HOPING TO GET A KOFOD
TEST BEFORE THANKSGIVING.
YOU HAVE LIKELY RUN OUT OF

WE HAVE SEEN THOUSANDS COME
OUT, WAIT IN LIN+@E TO GET
TESTED.
AND IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN YOURS
YET, YOU COULD BE OUT OF LUCK
BECAUSE YOUR TEST RESULTS WON'T
BE BACK BY THURSDAY.
BUT EVEN IF YOU MANAGE TO GET A
TEST.
HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY IT COULD
GIVE SOMEONE A FALSE SENSE OF
SECURITY AND YOU NEED TO BE
CAREFUL.
THE CDC SHOUTS CHLOE LESHNER IS

TESTING SINCE THE END LAST WEEK

BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOKING FOR
THOSE NEGATIVE TEST RESULTS TO
GIVE THEM THE GREEN LIGHT TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH+@ HOLIDAY
TRAVEL PLANS.
BUT HEALTH DIRECTOR GIVI HARRIS
SAYS THAT REALLY IS NOT THE
SAFEST OPTION.
>> THE FINAL PUSH TO GET A+@
COVERED TEST BEFORE
THANKSGIVING CROWD+@S WERE MUCH
SMALLER TODAY AND THESE PEOPLE
ARE LESS LIKELY TO GET THEIR
RESULTS BY THURSDAY.
>> UNFORTUNATELY, AS WE
INCREASE THIS TESTING WEEK WE
HA+@VE A TENDENCY TO SEE AN
INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF TIME
IT TAKES TO GET THE TEST
RESULTS BACK.
MECKLENBURG COUNTY HEALTH
DIRECTOR GABEY HARRIS SAYS
RIGHT NOW THEY'RE AVERAGING
ABOUT 500 TESTS A DAY.
>> THE SPIKE IN TESTING A GOOD
AND BAD THING IF THEY'RE COMIN+G
IN FOR TESTING BECAUSE THEY'RE
GETTING READY TO GO ON A PLANE
TO GO SOMEWHERE THAT'S NOT SUCH
A GOOD THING IF THEY'RE COMING
IN BECAUSE THEY'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT THEIR STATUS OR THEY
POTENTIALLY BEEN EXPOSED, THEN
YES, WE WANT THEM TESTED CORONA
VIRUS TESTS AREN'T PERFECT AND
THE RESULTS ARE ONLY A SNAPSHOT
OF THAT EXACT MOMENT.
>> ANYONE TRAVELING COULD BE
EXPOSED AFTER TESTING OR THE
RESULTS COULD BE INACCURATE.
>> YOU DO FEEL KIND OF DETER.
YOU KNOW, I'M GONNA BE OKAY BUT
I THINK THE SAME THING FOR NOW
IS IS PROBABLY TO STAY HOME.
THAT'S WHY HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE
STRESSING P+@EOPLE SHOULD NOT
GA+@THER FOR THANKSGIVING.
THAT IS JUST THE ONE TIME IN
YOUR LIFE.
>> WHEN WE'RE ASKING YOU TO
THINK ABOUT THIS HOLIDAY
DIFFERENTLY SO THAT YOU CAN BE
SAFE AND THAT OTHERS AROUND
YOU CAN BE SAFE.
WITH NUMBERS ALREADY RISING IN
THE COUNTY, THERE IS CONCERN
THE HOLIDAY WILL BE THE PIVOTAL
POINT WHERE THE PANDEMIC GETS
OUT OF CONTROL.
>> THAT IS+@ MY CONCERN IS THAT
WE'RE JUST GOING TO SEE NUMBERS
CONTINUE TO CLIMB AND AS THEY
CONTINUE TO CLIMB THE POTENTIAL
FOR PEOPLE BEING EXPOSED GOES
UP AS WELL.
SO IT'S IT JUST COMPOUNDS
ITSELF.
AND FOR ANYONE WHO DECIDES THEY
ARE GOING TO TRAVEL.
HARRIS SUGGESTS THAT YOU GET A
CULVERT TEST FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS@
AFTER YOU GET BACK.
LIVE IN CHARLOTTE, CHLOE
LESHNER RWC AND C CHARLOTTE.
CHLOE, THANK YOU .
VANESSA THANKS LADIES.
LET'S GET TO THE NUMBERS NOW.
NORTH CAROLINA JUST SAW ITS
LARGEST DAY OVER DAY INCREASE
IN HOSPITALI+@ZATION THE ENTIRE
PANDEMIC.
TAKE A LOOK HERE.
THE STATE STARTED OFF YESTERDAY
WITH A LITTLE OVER SIXTEEN+@
HUNDRED CORONA VIRUS PATIENTS.
NOW WE ARE UP TO MORE THAN ONE
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED TWENTY
PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL.
THIS 120 PATIE+@NT JUMP IS THE
LARGEST ONE THAT W+@E HAVE MADE
IF YOU DON'T COUNT NOVEMBER
13TH, WHICH IS THE DAY THAT THE
STATE CHANGED HOW IT COUNTS
PATIENTS TO REFLECT NEW CDC
REQUIREMENTS.
REQUIREMENTS. +@ MEANTIME, TODAY'S CASE COUNT IN
NORTH CAROLINA WAS THIRTY ONE
HUNDRED IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT.
THIS IS CONSIDERED LOW BY OUR
NEW STANDARDS.
THE AVERAGE CASE RISE IS NOW
THIRTY 200 HUNDRED CASES EACH
DAY.
DAY. +@
DAY. +@ DON'T FORGET AS WELL.
WELL WE'RE JUST NOW SEEING
THESE NEW RECORD SETTING DAYS
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE THAT FORTY
FIVE HUNDRED CASE A DAY THAT WE
JUST SAW OVER THE WEEKEND.
HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE A LOT
SLOWER TO RESPOND TO THE VIRAL
SPREAD.
THAT'S A LAGGING INDICATOR BY
FOUR TO SIX WEEKS OR SO.
SO WE'RE LIKELY IN FOR EVEN
HIGHER PATIENT COUNTS AND
HIGH+@ER HOSPITALIZATION DAYS AS
WE GO ALONG THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
OF COURSE WE WILL TRACK THOSE.
THAT BRINGS US TO THIS NEXT
STORY.
HOSPITAL RESOURCES ARE NOT
UNLIMITED.
THEY CAN RUN OUT AND IN SOME+@
STATES OTHER STATES THEY ARE
+@RUNNING OUT AND IT'S NOT JUST
ABOUT BEDS AND+@ VENTILATORS.
YOU NEED STAFF TO STAFF THESE
BEDS AND VENTILATORS AND
PROVIDE THE CARE.
TONY MENDEZ HAS BEEN TALKING
WITH LOCAL HEALTH CARE
PROFESSIONALS ABOUT WHAT THIS
CURRENT SURGE HAS BEEN LIKE.
TANYA, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING
YOU ?
I+@ MEAN THEY'RE VERY CONCERNED
AS YOU WOULD IMAGINE IS WE'RE
ALL GETTING READY TO GIVE+@
THANKS R+@IGHT NOW.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MOST
OF US ARE THANKFUL FOR THESE
DAYS IS OUR HEALTH.
SO WHO BETTER THAN TO TALK TO
RIGHT NOW THAN THE ONES WHO ARE
RISKING THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OUR
LIVES?
THE HEALTH CARE WORKERS WHO
WERE WORKING IN THE EMERGENCY
ROOMS IN HOSPITALS LIKE THE ONE
BEHIND ME IS ANDREW FARM FOUND
HIS CALLING THE DAY HIS SECOND
SON WAS BORN.
>> OUR SECOND SON WAS A NAKED
BABY.
SADLY, HIS SON PASSED AWAY AT
EIGHT MONTHS OLD FARM AND HIS
WIFE HAD MORE CHILDREN BUT HE
NEVER FORGOT THE NURSES WHO
CARED FOR HIS BABY.
>> I THINK THAT'S THE PATH I
WANT TO TAKE.
NOW A NURSE WORKING AT NOVANT
HEALTH'S PRESBYTERIAN INTENSIVE
CARE UNIT HELPING OTHER
FAMILIES THE WAY THE NURSES
HELPED HIS JUST GO IN EVERY DAY
AND KNOWING THAT YOU'RE THE
ONLY+@ ONE THERE THAT THEREFORE
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THORN FINDS
HIMSELF IN THE MIDST OF A
PANDEMIC, HE SAYS NO ONE
PREPARED FOR OUR WHOLE WORLD
FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN.
>> TOM SAYS HE TRAINED FOR A
SPRINT WOUND UP RUNNING A
MARATHON AT HOME.
>> HE COULDN'T LOVE ON HIS
CHILDREN THE WAY HE WANTED.
THEY ALWAYS COME IN AND GIVE
ME A BIG HUG.
>> WELL, NOW IT BECAME A HIGH
+@POINT UNTIL I DECONTAMINATED T
WORK.
HE WAS SEEING AND HEARING ABOUT
TOO MANY GOODBYE'S.
THEY TRIED TO STAVE OFF THE
VENTILATOR AS LONG AS THEY
COULD.
>> AND THAT+@ PATIENT CHOSE TO
USE THAT LAST PHONE CALL TO SAY
GOODBYE TO THEIR LOVED ONES.
AND YOU'LL NEVER GET USED TO
THAT.
+@ESPECIALLY SEEING THE CASES IN
THE ICU KNOWING THAT THEY MIGHT
BE RIGHT.
THEY MIGHT NOT COME OFF THAT
VENTILATOR.
THAT'S THAT'S A TOUGH THING TO
SWALLOW.
>> IT'+@S CALLED 1+@9 CASES ARE
SPIKING AGAIN.
HOSPITAL STAFF ARE STRETCHED
THIN.
SOME HAS THIS TO SAY TO PEOPLE
WHO SAY IT'S ALL JUST A HOAX.
I HONESTLY WISH WE COULD GET
MORE CAMERAS IN THE SCENE.
>> PEOPLE PARALYZED, INTUBATED
CHEST TUBES, DIALYSIS, ALL
THESE THINGS.
ALL THESE MEASURES THAT IT
TAKES TO KEEP THEM ALIVE AND
YEAH, THAT'S A VERY SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF THE POSITIVE COMA
CASES.
BUT THEY ARE OUT THERE AND AS
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE+@ PREPARING O
GIVE THANKS THIS WEEK, PHELIM
WOULD JUST BE THANKFUL IF HE
DOESN'T HAVE TO SEE YOU IN+@ HIS
ICU.
>> PEOPLE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT
THEY WANT TO+@ DO.
>> SO I JUST HOPE THEY DO IT
RESPONSIBLY.
AND TOM SAYS HE IS ESPECIALLY
GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO
ARE IN+@ THE TRENCHES WITH HIM
AND FOR THE RESPIRATORY
THERAPIST AND OF COURSE HIS
WIFE WHO.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT AS
A SCHOOL TEACHER HE SAYS HE NOW
HAS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF
APPRECIATION FOR WHAT SHE DOES
EVERY DAY.
REPORTING LIVE FROM TANYA
MENDIS W.S. IN CHARLOTTE.
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL OF
THEM.
TANYA, THANK YOU FOR THAT
REPORT.
>> TONIGHT NORTH CAROLINA ISN'T
THE ONLY ONE SAYING CASE JUMPS
ACCELERATING IN SOUTH CAROLINA
.
THERE WERE MORE THAN THIRTEEN
HUNDRED NEW CASES REPORTED
TODAY.
THE SHARP RISE YOU SEE ON THIS
GRAPH IS THE LAST TWO WEEKS
DAILY CASES HAVE RISEN BY
ALMOST 40 PERCENT OVER THAT
PERIOD OF TIME.
AND IN MECKLENBURG COUNTY, A
NEW DAILY CASE RECORDS SET NEW
DATA SHOWS SUNDAY RECORDED MORE
THAN 450 CASES IN ONE DAY.
IT BREAKS A PREVIOUS RECORD OF
419 CASES SAID BACK IN JULY.
THE PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE
TESTING POSITIVE IN THE COUNTY+@
IS ALSO INCREASING.
IT'S OVER EIGHT PERCENT NOW.
+@WE KNOW THERE IS A LOT TO
FOLLOW WITH KOVA 19 AND THE
INFORMATION IS CONSTANTLY
CHANGING FOR THE VERY LATEST
NUMBERS AND STORIES THAT IMPACT
YOU , TEXT THE WORD CORONA
VIRUS TO SEVEN OH FOUR THREE
+@
YOU , TEXT THE WORD CORONA VIRUS TO SEVEN OH FOUR THREE TWO NINE THIRTY SIX HUNDRED AND
WE'LL SEND A LINK RIGHT TO+@ YOR
PHONE WITH EVERYTHING YOU NEED
TO KNOW.
WELL, IT WAS A CLOUDY, COOL DAY
TODAY.
WE ARE SEEING THOSE
TEMPERATURES THOUGH OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS CLIMB ABOVE
NORMAL, ESPECIALLY INTO
THANKSGIVING, BUT IT WILL COME
WITH SOME CHANCES FOR RAIN.
I'LL SHOW YOU THE DETAILS AND
MY FULL FORECAST AND+@ THAT
THANKSGIVING FORECAST EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT THAN USUAL THIS YEAR
BECAUSE EXPERTS+@ SAY EATING
OUTSIDE COULD HELP KEEP ALL OF
YOUR DINNER GUESTS SAFE.
WE'RE HEARING FROM THE EXPERTS
STRAIGHT AHEAD.
PLUS THE GOVERNOR'S NEW MASC
MANDATE GOES INTO EFFECT
TOMORROW AND CMPD IS READY TO
EDUCATE HOW OFFICERS WILL
HANDLE THOSE NOT FOLLOWING THE
NEW RULES.
NEXT
NEXT
,A
,A COUPLE
,A COUPLE OF CRIME ALERTS TONIGHT AT 5:00. >> WE START IN SOUTHEAST
CHARLOTTE WHERE CBD IS
INVESTIGATED SHOOTING ALONG
DELANEY AVENUE NEAR COTSWOLD.
ACCORDING TO MEDEK, ONE PERSON
WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL WITH
LIFE THREATENING INJURIES.
POLICE ARE STILL INVESTIGATING
BUT THEY BELIEVE THE SUSPECT
AND VICTIM K+@NOW EACH OTHER.
WE'LL UPDATE YOU AS SOON AS WE
HAVE ANY NEW INFORMATION.
AUTHORITIES IN LANCASTER COUNTY
ARE WARNING ABOUT STOLEN
CATALYTIC CONVERTERS THEY SAY.
CARS+@ AND COMPANY VANS HAVE BEN
HIT HARD.
THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS A
PIECE THAT CLEANS EMISSIONS
FROM THE ENGINE BEFORE IT IS
RELEASED INTO THE AIR.
OFFICIALS SAY YOU SHOULD KEEP
YOUR CAR PARKED IN WELLAT AREAS
+@VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC.
IF ANYONE SEES THIS HAPPENING,
YOU SHOULD CALL THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE BACK IN MECKLENBURG
COUNTY.
LATE TODAY CPD TALKED ABOUT THE
NEW STRICTER MASKA MANDATE THAT
GOES INTO EFFECT IN NORTH
CAROLINA T+@OMORROW.
THE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT WILL
CONTINUE TO OPERATE ON AN
EDUCATION AND COMPLAINT BASIS
ONLY AND WILL NOT ISSUE
CITATIONS+@ TO PEOPLE WHO AREN'T
WEARI+@NG A MASK BUT INSTEAD WIL
TALK TO THEM AND EDUCATE THEM
ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING
ONE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO
IS THAT WE W+@E GIVE PEOPLE A
CHANCE TO UNDERSTAND WHEN
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR THE
MASK WHEN THEY'RE NOT.
+@
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO WEAR THE MASK WHEN THEY'RE NOT. WE KNOW THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT
OF CONFUSION AND WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO HAVE IT ALL.
DO NOT WIN WHILE WE'RE HERE,
THERE, ETC..
>> WE'VE SEEN OTHER CAROLINA
CITIES ENFORCE THE MASK
REQUIREMENTS WITH CITATIONS FOR
EXAMPLE IN COLUMBIA OVER THE
WEEKEND.
POLICE ISSUED ONE HUNDRED AND
THIRTY TICKETS TO PEOPLE FOUND
NOT WEARING FACE MASKS IN
+@ PUBLIC.
+@ PUBLIC. THAT CITATION CARRIES A O+@NE
HUNDRED DOLLAR FINE.
>> WELL, SIR, WE KNOW PEOPLE
EVERYWHERE ARE GETTING CREATIVE
WITH THEIR THANKSGIVING PLANS.
HEALTH EXPERTS SAY OF COURSE
THE SAFEST +@WAY TO CELEBRATE IS
TO STAY AT HOME.
BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE
GATHERING WITH LOVED ONES, IT
IS GOING TO MAKE A BIG
DIFFERENCE WHERE YOU HOLD THAT
GATHERING.
WAKE UP CHARLOTTE.
ANCHOR CAROLYN BROCK EXPLAINS.
>> IF YOU MUST GO+@ OUT, IT'S
BEST TO STAY OUT OUTDOORS.
THAT IS SO WE'VE LEARNED EARLY
ON THAT VENTILATION HELPS.
SO HAVING MORE AIRFLOW THROUGH
AN ENVIRONMENT WORKS.
WE KNOW THAT OUTDOORS.
WE SEE MUCH LESS TRANSMISSION.
>> THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S EASIE+@R
+@ TO STAY AT LEAST SIX FEET APART
+@
+@ TO STAY AT LEAST SIX FEET APART WHEN YOU HAVE MORE SPACE TO DO
SO LIKE IN A BACKYARD.
THE FRESH AIR ALSO ESSENTIALLY
HELPS DILUTE COVERED PARTICLES
THAT MIGHT HANG IN MORE
STAGNANT INDOOR AIR.
YOU NEED NEW FRESH AIR COMIN+@G
IN AND THAT'S WHERE THIS NOTION
OF OPENING OUR WINDOWS, OUR
DOORS MAY HELP SPACES THAT OPEN
UP GARAGES COULD BRING SOME
BENEFITS OF THE OUTDOORS IN BUT
TENTS AND OTHER CLOSED
STRUCTURES THAT TAKE THE
INDOORS OUT.
MIGHT NOT DO SO MUCH GOOD.
AND YOU COULD TRY TO PLAY THE
GAME BUT IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE
VIRUS IN THE WAY IT TRANSMITS.
IF YOU'RE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA
AND THERE'S NO AIRFLOW THAT'S
INSIDE AND THAT'S+@ A HIGH RISK
ENVIRONMENT AND SHARING A TABLE
POSES EXTRA DANGERS FOR SHARING
THE VIRUS.
I THINK PEOPLE HAVE HOPE THAT
IF I'M JUST OUTDOORS THAT
THERE'S NO RISK.
THERE IS STILL A RISK IF YOU'RE
EATING YOUR UNMARRED WITHIN SIX
FEET, ESPECIALLY WITHIN THREE
FEET.
EVEN WITH THE OUTDOOR SETTING,
IT'S IT'S IT'S NOT FOOLPROOF.
SUNLIGHT SAID TO BE THE BEST
DISINFECTANT BUT BOTH DOCTORS
SAY NO AMOUNT OF AIRFLOW IS
SUBSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
>> STAYING SIX FEET APART
INDOORS, OUTDOORS AND ANYWHERE
IN BETWEEN MASS PEOPLE WITHIN
SIX FEET IS THE MAIN WAY THAT
THIS IS TRANSMITTED.
>> S+@O YOU'RE SAYING THAT IF IM
SITTING MAYBE NEXT TO A+@ FRIEND
AT A BONFIRE COVE IT DOESN'T
JUST BLOW AWAY IN THE BREEZE?
>> NOT GOING TO JUST BLOW AWAY.
>> IT MATTER IF YOU'RE INSIDE
OR OUTSIDE IF YOU'RE RIGHT NEXT
TO THEM THAT VIRUS IS GETTING
DIRECTLY FROM YOU TO THEM.
>> AND THAT BRI+@NGS US HERE TO
OUR NEXT BIG QUESTION OF
WHETHER THE WEATHER IS GOING TO
COOPERATE.
AISHA, I GOT TO SAY AT LEAST
RIGHT NOW I HAVE A BLANKET AND
A HEATER ON.
ARE WE GOING TO NEED THAT ON
THANKSGIVING?
NO.
THANKSGIVING? NO. YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK IT'S
GOING TO BE PERFECT WEATHER TO
GET OUTSIDE AND MAYBE HAVE
THANKSGIVING OUTDOORSMAN.
SO NOT LOOKING BAD AT ALL THE
RAIN WE DO HAVE SOME RAIN ON
THANKSGIVING MORNING BUT THE
RAIN WILL CERTAINLY+@ CLEAR OUT
BY THE AFTERNOON.
SO I'LL SHOW YOU A BREAKDOWN OF
THE THANKSGIVING FORECAST IN
JUST A BIT.
BUT FIRST I WANT TO SHOW
YOU THIS VIEW.
THIS IS A GORGEOUS SHOT.
THIS MR SPARKIE CAMERA NETWORK
OVERLOOKING UPTOWN CHARLOTTE.
THOSE HIGH CLOUDS ALWAYS GIVE
US A REALLY, REALLY PRETTY
SUNSET SO THE SUN CONTINUES TO
SET ON THIS TUESDAY MORNING.
IT WAS A OR TUESDAY EVENING I
SHOULD SAY.
IT WAS A CHILLY TUESDAY FOR
SURE THOUGH.
YOU'LL NOTICE TEMPERATURES
ANYWHERE FROM FIVE UP TO EIGHT
DEGREES COOLER AND LINCOLNTON
EIGHT DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS
TIME YESTERDAY AS WELL
GASTONIA.
SO RIGHT NOW WE'VE DROPPED IT
TO THE 30S IN THE MOUNTAINS.
FORTY NINE IN HICKORY.
FIFTY ONE IN CHARLOTTE.
WE'RE DOWN INTO THE UPPER 40S
RIGHT NOW AND SHARA'A.
SO TONIGHT WITH THE CLOUDS
OVERHEAD IT WILL HELP US OUT A
LITTLE BIT.
SO NOT QUITE AS COLD AS THIS
MORNING IF YOU REMEMBER WE
STARTED OFF IN THE 20S AND 30S.
WE'LL DROP INTO THE UPPER 30S
TO RIGHT AROUND 40 ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT.
THOSE CLOUDS THOUGH WILL
INCREASE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
NOW WHILE IT WAS A CHILLY DAY
TODAY WE'VE+@ GOT SOME WARMER AR
FARTHER TO THE SOUTH.
YOU'LL NOTICE SOME 60S AND 70S
FROM DALLAS TO NEW ORLEANS 71
RIGHT NOW IN JACKSON.
SOME OF THAT WARMER AIR WILL
ACTUALLY SPREA+@D OUR WAY NOT
ONLY TOMORROW BUT EVEN INTO
THANKSGIVING DAY.
YES.
HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 70S.
SO HERE'S WHAT I'M TRACKING.
I'LL GET ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST.
WE'RE QUIET.
WE'RE NOT TRACKING ANYTHING
RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT SAY
WEATHERWISE.
BUT I DO HAVE THIS AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE THAT I'M WATCHING OVER
THE PLAINS ALSO THE PANHANDLE
OF TEXAS THAT WILL TRACK OUR
WAY GOING INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT
AND INTO THURSDAY.
SO LET ME SHOW YOU ON FUTUR+@E
CAST HERE FOR THE REST OF THIS
EVENING IT IS QUIET SO WE'RE
NOT TRACKING ANY RAIN ALTHOUGH
WE WILL HAVE THE CLOUDS
OVERHEAD AND AGAIN NOT QUITE AS
COLD AS TOMORROW MORNING BUT
WE'LL START OFF TOMORROW
MORNING NINE O'CLOCK WITH SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS OUT THERE.
AND AS WE PROGRESSED THROUGHOUT
THE DAY WEDNESDAY, WE'LL HAVE
ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
BUT IT'S NOT UNTIL WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AND INTO EARLY THURSDAY
THAT WE'LL SEE OUR BETTER
CHANCE FOR RAIN.
SO THIS IS SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE
MORNING THANKSGIVING MORNING
AND YOU'LL NOTICE WE'VE GOT
SOME SCATTERED RAIN PRETTY
HEAVY AT TIMES AS WELL.
BUT THE RAIN QUICKLY MOVES OUT
OF HERE INTO THANKSGIVING
AFTERNOON.
SO BY 2:00, 3:00 IN THE
AFTERNOON IT IS QUIET AND WE'LL
ACTUALLY GET SOME SUNSHINE
RETURNING AS WELL.
SO THAT THANKSGIVING FORECAST
+@ HERE'S YOUR+@ PLAN OR WE'LL STAT
OFF 9:00 THANKSGIVING DAY AND
THE LOW 60S MID TO UPPER 60S BY
11 O'CLOCK.
AND LOOK AT THIS.
WE'RE BACK INTO THE 70S FOR
THANKSGIVING AFTERNOON.
SO IF YOU WANT TO HAVE DINNER
OUTSIDE CERTAINLY NOT A BAD
THANKSGIVING TO DO SO.+@
WE DO HAVE SOME CHANGES TO COME
THOUGH.
SO WE'VE GOT RAIN EARLY IN THE
MORNING THURSDAY.
IT'S DRIER FRIDAY AND THEN INTO
THE WEE+@KEND.
OUR RAIN CHANCES REALLY START
TO GO UP ESPECIALLY LATE SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY.
SO THE SEVEN DAY FORECAST 60
TOMORROW A LITTLE BIT WARMER
THAN TODAY 70 THOUGH ON
THURSDAY THANKSGIVING WITH
THOSE MORNING SHOWERS BY FRIDAY
IT'S DRYER SIXTY EIGHT.
AND THEN TEMPERATURES TAKE A
NOSEDIVE INTO NEXT WEEK WITH
HIGHS ONLY IN THE 40S 50S AND
OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 20S.
BY TUESDAY MORNING STILL AHEAD
OF FIVE 30 NORTH CAROLINA'S NEW
MASK MANDATE STARTS+@ TOMORROW
AND THAT MEANS PEOPLE
EXERCISING INSIDE MUST HAVE A
FACE MASK ON.
>> BUT NEW TONIGHT WE+@ LEARNED
THAT ACTUALLY GOES AGAINST THE
WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION'S
RECOMMENDATION.
MORE ON THAT COMING UP AFTER
THE BREAK.
>>
>>
WELCOME
WELCOME BACK. OF COURSE WE ARE JUST TWO DAYS OUT FROM THANKSGIVING.
MACY'S CREWS ARE HARD AT WORK
TRYING TO GET TOGETHER FOR THIS
THANKSGIVING PARADE THAT IS
GOING TO BE LIKE NONE OTHER
BEFORE.
WE'VE GOT AN AERIAL VIEW OF
THOSE PREPS.
LOOKS LIKE THIS IS OF COURSE
HAPPENING NOW FOR THE ICONIC
ANNUAL TRADITION.
NO CROWDS LINING THE STREETS.
PERFORMANCES ARE ALL TAPED.
BUT IF YOU'RE WATCHING+@ FROM
YOUR COUCH IT WILL STILL LOOK
LIKE THE PARADE THAT YOU'VE
SEEN FOR YEARS.
PARDON THE NOISE IN THE
BACKGROUND.
CITY LIFE GUIDE CITY LIFE.
YOU WANT TO MENTION THERE ARE
GOING TO BE SOME NEW ADDITIONS
THIS YEAR.
MACY'S BUILD THE NEW BALLOONS
AND FLOATS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
APPEARING TO INCLUDE THE BOSS
BABY AND RED TITAN FROM THE
YOUTUBE CHANNEL RYAN'S WORLD.
I GUESS I FEEL A LITTLE OLD.
I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS BUT
I'M EXCITED TO LEARN.
YOU'LL ALSO SEE SOME NEW FLOATS
LIKE THE BIG TURKEY SPECTACULAR
BY JENKO CHRISTMAS TOWN SQUARE
BY LIFETIME AND HER FUTURE IS
STEM SATION ALL BY OLAY STEM
STATION.
YOU CAN WATCH IT ALL RIGHT HERE
ON W.S. AND SEE CHARLOTTE
STARTING AT 9:00.
SARAH.
>> I CANNOT WAIT.
WATCH THIS EVERY YEAR WITH MY
FAMILY FAMILY TRADITION.
LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
WHETHER YOU WATCH IT OR NOT,
THE NATIONAL DOG SHOW ON NBC
HAS BECOME A PART OF
THANKSGIVING DAY AS WELL.
BUT THIS YEAR THINGS ARE GOING
TO BE MUCH DIFFERENT.
DOG HANDLERS WILL BE MASK UP
PREPPING THEIR FURRY FRIENDS
OUTSIDE INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL
TWO THOUSAND DOGS.
THERE WILL ONLY BE FIVE HUNDRED
PARTICIPATING.
EVEN THE HOSTS THEMSELVES WILL
BE WORKING FROM HOME.
THE NATIONAL DOG SHOW AIRS
THANKSGIVING DAY AT NOON RIGHT
HERE ON NBC RIGHT AFTER THE
MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
.
AND WE DO WANT TO REMIND
YOU ABOUT OUR MAGICAL TOY
DRIVE.
WE HAVE TEAMED UP WITH BELKE
ORIGINAL MATTRESS FACTORY AND
ALLY FINANCIAL TO HELP MAKE THE
HOLIDAYS MAGICAL FOR LOCAL
KIDS.
ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO HELP
IS BY DONATING MONEY ONLINE.+@
THE BUZINSKI SHAH THAT WILL
MATCH ANY MONETARY DONATIONS UP
TO TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
FOR MORE DETAILS CHECK OUT W.S.
NC DOT COM SLASH TOYS.
WE'RE NOT JUST COUNTING DOWN TO
THANKSGIVING TONIGHT BUT BLACK
FRIDAY A+@S WELL.
OUR BILL MCGUINTY HAS BEEN
GOING THROUGH ALL THE ADS AND
IS TRACKING THE BEST DEALS AND
HOW TO G+@ET THEM DURING THE
PANDEMIC+@.
THAT'S STILL AHEAD AT FIVE 30
+@
RIGHT
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW FIVE 30 MASK MANDATE CONFUSION AND CONTRADICTION AS CONFUSING AS HECK GOVERNORS NEW
+@EXPANDED MANDATE REQUIRES
PEOPLE TO WEAR FACE MASK WHEN
THEY ARE WORKING OUT INDOORS.
BUT THAT ACTUALLY GOES AGAINST
WHAT THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION RECOMMENDS.
TONIGHT WE'RE HEARING FROM
DOCTORS AND GYM OWNERS ABOUT
HOW TO PROCEED MOVING FORWARD.
THANKS FOR STAYING WITH US
TONI+@GHT, EVERYBODY.
I'M SARA FRENCH.
VANESSA RUFUS AND WE'LL GET TO
THAT STORY IN JUST A BIT.
BUT WE WANTED TO START OFF WITH
THAT FORECAST AND A BEAUTIFUL
SUNSET THAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT
NOW.
GUYS, YOU GOT TO SEE THIS.
LOOK AT THIS SCREEN BEAUTIFUL
FALL DAY IN THE CAROLINAS IN
THAT SUNSET IS JUST KIND OF
PLAYING INTO THAT SAME TUNE
LIVE LOOK OVER UPTOWN.
OF COURSE FOLKS ARE ALREADY
THINKING AHEAD THOUGH TO
THURSDAY WHAT THANKSGIVING
HOLDS WITH THAT FORECAST IS
GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
SO THE LADY OF THE HOUR HERE,
+@
GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SO THE LADY OF THE HOUR HERE, ATIA SCOTT HAS THAT INFORMATION
FOR US.
HEY, ARE YOU SURE?
YEAH, HEY, VANESSA.
GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.
YOU KNOW THE GOOD NEWS IS WELL,
I GUESS IT'S KIND OF GOOD
NEWS IF YOU LIKE WARMER
CONDITIONS FOR THANKSGIVING.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE QUITE AS
CHILLY AS IT WAS TODAY.
SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE FULL
THANKSGIVING FORECAST IN JUST A
BIT.
TODAY WE ONLY KIND THE 40S AND
50S.
FORTY SEVEN THE OFFICIAL HIGH
IN BOONE.
84 IN CHARLOTTE CONCORD.
53 IN SALISBURY, CHERAW.
YOU ACTUALLY CLIMB CLOSE TO 60
TODAY IN THE UPPER 50S.
SO OUT T+@HERE RIGHT NOW THE
SUN'S STARTING TO SET SO THOSE
TEMPERATURES GOING TO FALL
PRETTY QUICKLY.
THIRTY NINE RIGHT NOW AND BOOM
WE'RE AT FORTY NINE AND
HICKORY.
GOOD EVENING IN CHARLOTTE.
+@FIFTY ONE AND FIFTY RIGHT NOW.
AND ROCKING CAMP.
SO FOR THIS EVENING IF YOU'VE
GOT ANY PLANS MAYBE YOU'VE GOT
SOME SHOPPING DONE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE OUT THIS
EVENING.
NOT BAD AT ALL.
FORTY FI+@VE BY EIGHT O'CLOCK
WILL DROP IN TO THE LOW 40S AS
WE WORK OUR WAY CLOSER TO THE
11:+@00 HOUR.
NO RAIN TO TRACK TONIGHT.
HOWEVER, I AM TRACKING RAIN
TOMORROW AND THURSDAY FOR+@
THANKSGIVING.
I'LL SHOW YOU THAT FULL
THANKSGIVING FORECAST COMING UP
IN JUST A BIT SARAH.
ALL RIGHT, NEW.
FIVE THIRTY NORTH CAROLINA'S
EXPANDED MASK MANDATE SEEMS TO
CONTRADICT ONE OF THE LEADING
HEALTH AGENCIES IN THE WORLD
SPECIFICALLY GOVERNOR COOPER'S
NEW REQUIREMENT FOR PEOPLE TO
WEAR A MASK WHILE EXERCISING.
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION
RECOMMENDS THE OPPOSITE ON ITS
WEB SITE.
THE WHL CLEARLY STATES PEOPLE
+@SHOULD NOT WEAR FACE MASKS
WHILE EXERCISING BECAUSE OF
VARIOUS HEALTH REASONS.
WCC CHARLOTTES ALEX SHABAD
SPOKE TO PEOPLE ON BOTH SIDES
OF THIS DEBATE AND HAS THE
STORY ALL NEW TONIGHT.
WELL, LET'S BE CLEAR.
SCIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT WEARING
MASS HELPS PREVENT KUVIN 19.
AND THERE'S NO LEGITIMATE+@
DEBATE ABOUT IT.
BUT THERE IS A DEBATE ABOUT
WEARING ONE WHILE EXERCISE WHEN@
YOU LEAVE A GYM.
YOU WANT TO BE+@ HEALTHIER THAN
WHEN YOU ENTERED.
BUT ROB JENKINS, CO-FOUNDER OF
HIGH FITNESS SAYS FORCING
PEOPLE TO WEAR A MASK COULD
HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.
>> THERE ARE PEO+@PLE FOR WHOM
YOU KNOW, WEARING A MASK AND
ATTEMPTING TO DO EVEN MODERATE
LEVEL INTENSITY EXERCISE WOULD
BE PROHIBITIVELY DANGEROUS.
THAT MASK MANDATE+@ WHILE
EXERCISE IS NOW PART OF
GOVERNOR COOPER'S EXECUTIVE
ORDER.
>> IT'S MEANT TO GET THE
SKYROCKETING CASES OF COVERED
19 UNDER CONTROL.
>> WE ARE IN DANGER.
THIS IS A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN OUR
FIGHT AGAINST THE CORONA VIRUS.
>> BUT THE MANDATE APPEARS TO
BE AT ODDS WITH RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION.
IT GETS CONFUSING AS HECK+@ THE
MOST PEOPLE ON ITS WEBSITE
SITE, THE WHL CLEARLY STATES
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT WEAR MASKS
WHILE EXERCISING BECAUSE THE
SWEAT CAN MAKE THE MASK WET
MORE QUICKLY, MAKING IT MORE
DIFFICULT TO BREATHE AND
PROMOTING GROWTH OF
MICROORGANISMS.
>> IT'S COUNTERPRODUCTIVE.
>> IT'S COUNTERINTUITIVE.
I'M RECOMMENDING NOT GOING TO A
JAM.
INSTEAD, DR. KATIE PARCE
ALREADY RECOMMENDS PEOPLE
EXERCISE OUTSIDE AND STAY SIX
FEET PART.
>> IF YOU CHOOSE TO EXERCISE IN
A JAM THEN YOU KNOW MODIFYING
THE TYPE OF EXERCISE YOU'RE
DOING MAY BE NECESSARY SO+@ THAT
YOU CAN WEAR THAT MASK AND
PROTECT OTHERS.
>> SOME GYMS LIKE PLANET
FITNESS HAVE BEEN REQUIRING
MASS FOR MONTHS.
ARE YOU GOING TO REQUIRE IT AT
YOUR GYM?
WE JUST WE FEEL IT'S A HIGHLY
INDIVIDUAL DECISION.
>> PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN WELCOME
TO WEAR MASKS.
WE WANTED TO KNOW HOW MUCH
SPREAD IF ANY HAS HAPPENED TO
JI+@M.
>> SO WE REACHED OUT TO THE
MECKLENBURG COUNTY+@ DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
THEY TELL US THEY'RE NOT AWARE
OF ANY OUTBREAKS THAT HAVE
HAPPENED AT GYMS SINCE THEY
REOPENED IN THE BEGINNING OF
OCTOBER IN CHARLOTTE.
ALEX SHABAD WCNC. CHARLOTTE,
THE STATE'S DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ALSO
TOLD US THEY HAVE NOT
IDENTIFIED ANY KOVA 19 CLUSTERS
CONNECTED TO FITNESS CENTERS
AND OF COURSE A CLUSTER IS
DEFINED AS AT LEAST FIVE
POSITIVE CASES SCIENTIFICALLY
LINKED TO EACH OTHER WITHIN 14
DAYS.
>> VANESSA.
SARA, THANK YOU .
ALL RIGHT.
SO MOST PARENTS LISTEN UP.
WE WANT TO GET YOU AN UPDATE ON
THAT EMERGENCY BOARD MEETING
THAT STARTED EARLIER THIS
AFTERNOON THAT MEETING JUST
WRAPPED UP AND THE BOARD HAS
VOTED TO ALLOW THE
SUPERINTENDENT TO HAVE THE
ABILITY TO TRANSITION
INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS FROM
IN-PERSON LEARNING TO REMOTE
LEARNING AS SAFETY AND HEALTH
CONCERNS WOULD DICTATE.
THE BOARD MEMBERS SAY THAT THIS
COULD HELP MAKE THAT TRANSITION
PROCESS FASTER.
SO THE SWITCH RATHER THAN
HAVING AN EMERGENCY BOARD
MEETING EVERY SINGLE TIME A
CERTAIN NUMBER OF CASES POPS AT
A SPECIFIC SCHOOL.
SO IN THIS CASE NOW THE
SUPERINTENDENT CAN GO AHEAD AND
MAKE THAT DECISION ALONG WITH
THE GUIDANCE OF MECKL+@ENBURG
COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS.
THIS WOULD ALSO GRANT THE
SUPERINTENDENT THE AUTHORITY TO
SWITCH TO REMOTE IN CASE
STAFFING ISSUES AT A CERTAIN
SCHOOL WOULD MAKE IT UNSAFE TO
BE ON CAMPUS.
TAKE A LISTEN.
WELL, WE ARE SEEN BY A LARGE IS
THE NUMBER OF CURRENT TEEN
STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE HAVING TO
QUARANTINE IS REALLY WHAT IS
IMPACTING STAFFING LEVELS BY A
LARGE.
>> SO SOMETHING ELSE WILL BE
LOOKING AHEAD TO SEE IF THIS
HAPPENS BECAUSE IN THIS MEETING
THEY DISCUSSED THE POSSIBILITY
OF MAKING AN AMENDMENT TO ALLOW
THE SUPERINTENDENT MORE
AUTHORITY TO SHUT DOWN CERTAIN
SUB SECTIONS OF A SCHOOL, FOR
EXAMPLE, AN EXTENSION PROGRAM,
A GRADE LEVEL OR EVEN A CERTAIN
CLASS ROOM.
SO BOARD MEMBERS SAY THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THOSE POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS AT A
LATER DATE.
AND OF COURSE WE WILL KEEP
YOU POSTED ON ANY DEVELOPMENTS.
THIS DECISION OF COURSE COMING
HERE AS WE ARE SEEING A CHANGE
IN TRENDS HERE.
THE NUMBER OF COVERED 19 CASES
AMONG CHILDREN REACHING NEW
HIGHS.
THERE WERE MORE THAN ONE
HUNDRED FORTY FOUR THOUSAND NEW
CASES AND KIDS OVER THE PRI+@OR
TWO WEEKS.
A 28 PERCENT RISE IN PEDIATRIC
CASES OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
WE ARE SEEING THE HIGHEST
WEEKLY INCREASES TO SINCE THE
PANDEMIC BEGAN.
CHILDREN, BY THE WAY, MAKE UP
MORE THAN 11 PERCENT OF ALL

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, VANESSA,
WHEN YOU+@ TALK ABOUT BLACK
FRIDAY THIS YEAR, IT REALLY
HONESTLY FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN
BLACK FRIDAY SINCE LAST MARCH.
>> WE'VE ALL BEEN SHOPPING ON
OUR COMPUTERS HEAVILY.
I MIGHT ADD TO THE LAST,
YOU KNOW, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT
MONTHS.
BUT YOU KNOW, THIS TIME AROUND
THIS YEAR THERE ARE SOME THINGS
TO KEEP IN MIND.
GR+@ANTED, I KNOW WE'RE ALL A PO
WITH THIS BY NOW, BUT THERE ARE
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO KEEP
IN MIND WHEN YOU'RE CHASING
THOSE DEALS THIS YEAR YOU CAN
SCOUR WEB SITE AFTER WEB SITE
LOOKING FOR THE BEST DEAL.
>> BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY
TO SEE ALL T+@HE ADS AND ALL THE
+@
>> BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO SEE ALL T+@HE ADS AND ALL THE SALES FROM ALL THE TOP
RETAILERS AND JUST ONE SPOT?
MY TIP+@ DO WHAT I DO.
CHECK HERE FIRST.
IT'S CALLED DEAL NEWS DOT COM.
YOU SORT OF COVER EVERYTHING.
>> SO I WANT A CERTAIN SPECIFIC
ITEM.
YOU'RE GOING TO TELL ME WHERE I
CAN FIND IT THE C+@HEAPEST WAY
POSSIBLE.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> WE ARE REALLY COMMITTED TO
HELPING CONSUMERS MAKE THE BEST
POSSIBLE PURCHASING DECISIONS.
>> THAT'S MICHAEL BOEM BRIGHT
FROM DEA+@L NEWS .
BLACK FRIDAY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN
A UNIQUE YEAR BECAUSE WE'VE ALL
BEEN SHOPPING FROM HOME SOME
OUT OF BOREDOM MOST OUT OF
NECESSITY AND WE HAVE BEEN
DOING IT FOR MONTHS.
AND RETAIL AND E COMMERCE HAS
RESPONDED.
WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN LOTS
STORES LIKE WAL-MART AND TARGET
SAYING THEY'RE GOING TO EXTEND
THEIR BLACK FRIDAY SALES
THROUGH MOST OF NOVEMBER.
>> EVERY ONE OF THEM+@ WANTS
YOU TO SHOP MORE.
>> KOHL'S IS PUSHING THEIR
KOHL'S CASH ALONG WITH SOME
GOOD DEALS.
WAL-MART SELLING SOME SMART TV
ADS FOR+@ ABOUT A HUNDRED BUCKS.
IT'S A 32 INCH BUT STILL IT'S
JUST A TAD OVER 100 BUCKS.
A WORD OF CAUTION THOUGH AS
YOU CLICK THROUGH THESE DEALS,
JUST WATCH THE YOU ARE WELL
ABOVE TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE
WHERE YOU THINK YOU ARE.
IT'S EASY TO GET LOST AND END
UP ON A PHONY WEB SITE, SAYS
THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.
>> EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE PEOPLE
THAT INTERACT WITH ONE OF THESE
ONLY WEB SITES LOSES MONEY 80
PERCENT.
I MEAN THAT'S HOW GOOD THESE
SCAMMERS HAVE GOTTEN AT MAKING
THEMSELVES LOOK REAL, MAKING
THESE DEALS LOOK REAL.
>> S+@O ON THANKSGIVING.
WHO'S OPEN AND WHO'S CLOSED?
BLACK FRIDAY DOT COM PUT THIS
LIST TOGETHER ON THEIR WEB
SITE.
BIG LOTS CAPELLAS BASS PRO
SHOPS AND MOST DRUGSTORE
CHAINS.
THEY'RE OPEN CLOSED THIS YEAR.
BIG NAMES INCLUDING WAL-MART,
TARGET, KOHL'S, BEST BUY, HOME
DEPOT, LOWE'S AND COSTCO.
THEY'RE ALL SHUT DOWN ON THIS
TURKEY DAY.
>> SO YOU KNOW, I KNOW THERE
WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION THROWN
YOUR WAY IN THAT REPORT, BUT
THE ONE THING THAT I DO WANT TO
DRILL DOWN HERE BEFORE I GO IS
REALLY TO BE CAREFUL WHEN
YOU START JUST CLICKING AROUND
ON THESE WEB SITES AND
YOU SARCONE FROM THIS TV THAT
DEAL TO THAT SWEATER OR
WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE JUST
AGAIN DOUBLE CHECK THAT YOU ARE
L? TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE WHERE
YOU THINK YOU ARE BECAUSE
SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE CHASTEN
THE DEAL IT'S VERY POSSIBLE
YOU CAN END UP ON A WEB SITE
AND YOU'RE JUST NOT SURE HOW
YOU GOT THERE AND YOU THINK
IT'S A LEGITIMATE SITE AND
YOU'RE GOING TO PUT YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION YOU CAN
PUT YOUR CREDIT CARD.
YOU GOT TO PUT ALL THAT IN
THERE THINKING THAT YOU ARE
SOMEPLACE ELSE WHEN YOU ARE
REALLY NOT.
SO JUST BE CAREFUL.
I'D HATE TO SEE IN MY EMAIL
AS+@KING FOR HELP TO MONEY BACK.
GUYS ALWAYS GET INFORMATION.
>> WELL, THANK YOU .
BACK TO THE FORECAST NOW.
A QUIET FALL DAY IN THE
CAROLINAS, BUT WHAT CAN WE
EXPECT FOR THANKSGIVING?
LET'S SEND IT OVER TO AISHA
SCOTT WITH MORE.
HEY, AISHA.
HEY, SARAH.
YEAH.
GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY.
IT IS GOING TO GET MUCH WARMER
AS WE GO INTO THANKSGIVING DAY.
SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT
THANKSGIVING IN A SECOND.
BUT I WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK, ANOTHER LIVE LOOK
OUTSIDE.
THIS IS UPTOWN CHARLOTTE FROM
OUR MR. SPARKIE CAMERA NETWORK.
WE'VE GOT A BEAUTIFUL SUNSET.
I'VE BEEN SCROLLING THROUGH
+@TWITTER SO I'VE BEEN SEEING TE
PICTURES AS THE SUN CONTINUES
TO SET HERE.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CLOUDS
ACTUALLY HELPING TO CREATE
+@
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CLOUDS ACTUALLY HELPING TO CREATE THOSE BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS THIS
EVENING.
THOSE CLOUDS ARE GOING TO HELP
US OUT OVERNIGHT TONIGHT.
SO IT WON'T BE QUITE AS CHILLY
AS IT WAS THIS MORNING.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY 47 IN
BOONE, 51 IN HICKORY, 54 IN
CHARLOTTE AND IT WAS 53 TODAY
IN SALISBURY.
SO CERTAINLY BELOW ARE AVERAGE
OF FIFTY NINE DEGREES.
BUT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS WE'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE
TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO CLIMB.
+@ WE'RE AT THIRTY NINE RIGHT NOW
IN BOONE, 47 IN STATESVILLE, 51
IN CHARLOTTE.
GOOD EVENING AND WAIT SPURRELL
YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT AT FORTY
FIVE DEGREES SO TONIGHT AS I
MENTIONED THE CLOUDS ARE GOING
TO HELP US OUT A BIT.
SO YOU'LL WAKE UP TOMORROW
MORNING TO UPPER 30S RIGHT
AROUND 40 DEGREES ACROSS THE
PIEDMONT.
SO AGAIN NOT QUITE AS COLD AS
LAST NIGHT.
NOW I MENTIONED THAT WARMING
TREND THAT WE'RE GOING TO
SEE STARTING TOMORROW.
AND THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE GOT
SOME WARM AIR LOCKED ACROSS THE
SOUTH THE DEEP SOUTH YOU'LL
NOTICE IN THE 70S RIGHT NOW.
YES, WE ARE HEADED TO THE 70S
JUST IN TIME FOR THANKSGIVING
BUT ALSO WITH THAT WARMER AIR
WILL COME A CHANCE FOR RAIN.
SO I'M TRACKING THIS AREA OF
LOW PRESSURE.
YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE THE SPIN
HERE OVER PARTS OF THE PLAINS,
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.
THIS AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL
TRACK JUST NORTH OF OUR AREA.
BUT IT'S GOING TO SWING A COLD
FRONT ACROSS THE REGION AND
THAT'S GOING TO BE THE TRIGGER,
IF YOU WILL, FOR THAT RAIN.
SO FOR TONIGHT, NO RAIN TO
TRACK BUT THOSE CLOUDS WILL
CONTINUE TO INCREASE.
SO BY TOMORROW MORNING, 8:00 IN
THE MORNING WE'VE GOT SOME
SCATTERED SHOWERS TO WORK WITH
AND QUITE A BIT OF CLOUD COVER
AS WELL.
SO THROUGHOUT THE+@ DAY TOMORROW
WE'LL HAVE A SCATTERED TO
ISOLATED CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
EVEN INTO THE AFTERNOON.
YOU'LL NOTICE NOT A WHOLE LOT
OF RAIN BUT THAT CHANCE WILL
STILL BE THERE OVERNIGHT
WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY THOUGH OUR RAIN
+@
WEDNESDAY, WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY THOUGH OUR RAIN CHANCES DO GO+@ UP QUITE+@ A BI.
SO SEVEN O'CLOCK IN MORNING ON
THANKSGIVING WE'VE GOT SOME
SCATTERED RAIN PRETTY HEAVY AT
TIMES EARLY THURSDAY MORNING
AND THEN NOTICE BY THURSDAY
+@ AFTERNOON. +@
THE SUNSHINE STARTS TO RETURN
AND WE AREN'T TRACKING ANY MORE
RAIN WILL DRY THINGS OUT INTO
THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
SO HERE'S A LOOK THANKSGIVING
PLANNER.
WE'LL START OFF IN THE LOW 60S
BY NINE O'CLOCK.
WE'LL JUMP INTO THE 70S BY
THURSDAY AFTERNOON.
+@
WE'LL JUMP INTO THE 70S BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AND THAT 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF
RAIN.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT TOO
+@
RAIN. I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT TOO MUCH, ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO HAVE
ANY OUTDOOR PLANS.
SO LOOKING AT SOME FACTS HERE,
THIS IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY
WARM THANKSGIVING.
THE HOTTEST WAS 70 FOR BACK IN
2016.
THE COLDEST 19 BACK IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN.
SO FOR TOMORROW WE'RE BACK TO
60 70 ON THANKSGIVING.
SIXTY EIGHT FRIDAY AND THEN
TEMPERATURES TAKE A NOSEDIVE.
ONLY HIGHS IN THE 50S BY THE

TEMPERATURES TAKE A NOSEDIVE. ONLY HIGHS IN THE 50S BY THE WEEKEND.

SINCE DAVID TEPPER BOUGHT THE
CAROLINA PANTHERS HE HAS
CONTINUED TO MAKE HIS MARK IN
THE COMMUNITY FROM CHARITY
EFFORTS TO BRINGING MAJOR
LEAGUE SOCCER TO THE QUEEN CITY
.
MR. TEPPER'S WIFE NICOLE IS
ALSO MAKING HER MARK THROUGH
HER COMMUNITY EFFORTS AND THE
IMPORTANCE OF GIVING BACK ARE
ACTUALLY STRAIGHT-LINE TALKING
ONE ON ONE NICOLE ABOUT BEING A
PART OF THE CHARLOTTE
COMMUNITY.
HEY ASHLEY.
OH YES, SAR+@AH.
THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME GETTING
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH
NICOLE TEPPER AND I HAVE TO
TELL YOU I LEFT OUR
CONVERSATION BEING SO INSPIRED
BY HER VISION'S HOW TO HELP
THOSE IN NEED AND HOW TO MAKE
AN IMPACT IN THE CAROLINAS WHEN
WE CAME INTO CHARLOTTE AND
NORTH OR SOUTH CAROLINA.
WE REALIZED THAT THERE WAS SO
MUCH MORE OF A NEED AND SO IT
SEEMED LIKE SUCH A PERFE+@CT FI.
YOU KNOW WHAT WE DO AND THE
PANTHER PLATFORM THEY HAD PRIOR
AND WITH THEY DO IT IT JUST
SEEMED LIKE A PERFECT FIT.
AND IT R+@EALLY FELT IMPORTANT O
ALMOST TAKE IT TO THE NEXT
LEVEL.
>> AND NICOLE HAS CERTAINLY
STARTED DOING THAT FROM BEING
PRINCIPAL FOR A DAY TO
ESTABLISHING COLLEGE
SCHOLARSHIPS TO ONE OF HER
FAVORITES JOINT TO THE
CAROLINAS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE
ONCE AGAIN THIS DECEMBER
DESPITE COVID 19 THIS YEAR
HOSTING FIFTEEN HUNDRED
FAMILIES AND WE'RE DOING AT THE
SPEEDWAY SO IT'S OUTSIDE ITS
SOCIAL DISTANCE.
I WAS NOT TAKING+@ NO FOR AN
ANSWER.
THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS
LETTING THE HOLIDAY SEASON GO
BY WITHOUT DOING THIS SO WE+@ PT
ALL BRAINPOWER TOGETHER AND
FIGURED OUT A WAY THAT WE COULD
DO THIS SAFELY AND S+@TILL GIVE
BACK TO THESE FAMILIES IN NEED
WHILE THE PANDEMIC HAS ALTERED
THE WAY THE TEPPER'S ARE ABLE
TO GIVE BACK AND INTERACT WITH
+@ THE COMMUNITY.
THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT NICOLE
WILL FIND A WAY TO CONTINUE TO
HELP THOSE IN NEED ANYTHING I
PUT MY+@ STAMP ON OR MY NAME ON
IT BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE IT AND
WANT TO BE THERE AND HUG A
CHILD OR PACK A BOX OR DELIVER
A MEAL TO SOMEONE'S HOUSE OR
REALLY GET INVOLVED WITH THAT
ORGANIZATION IS SO IMPORTANT TO
ME .
>> AND SO WITH COLVARD I CAN'T
DO THAT.
AND SO I MISS THAT A LOT AND
IT'S VERY HARD.
SO TO YOU KNOW, REINVENT THE
WHEEL AND GIVE BACK AND STILL
MAKE THAT DIFFERENCE.
WE'RE DOING IT.
I'M DOING IT.
+@BUT THE REALLY HARD SO SPECIAL
THANKS TO NICOLE FOR TAKING THE
TIME TO CHAT WITH US AND OF

DEATH EARLIER THIS MONTH.
THE SHOW'S EXECUTIVE PRODUCER
TWEETED ALEX BELIEVED IN THE
IMPORTANCE OF JEOPARDY AND

EARLIER THIS MONTH LEFT A MAJOR
VOID IN THE WORLD OF TELEVISION
ALONG WITH A LOT OF SPECULATION
ABOUT WHO WOULD FILL THAT ROLE.
TRUBEK JOKED ABOUT ANY POSSIBLE
REPLACEMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR.
>> IT'LL BE SOMEBODY YOUNGER,
SOMEBODY BRIGHT, SOMEBODY
PERSONABLE, SOMEBODY WITH A
GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
SO I NOMINATED BETTY WHITE
AUTHOR CLAIRE MCNAIR WHO SPOKE+@
WITH TRIBECA ABOUT FUTURE
HOSTS, SAYS HE WAS KEENLY AWARE
THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF HOSTS
WERE WHITE MEN AND IT WOULD BE
WONDERFUL IF THE NEXT HOST OF
JEOPARDY DID NOT LOOK LIKE HIM.
>> FOR NOW JENNINGS WILL BE THE
FIRST TO TAKE THE PODIUM AFTER
TRUBEK.
AS FOR A PERMANENT HOST, THAT
QUESTION IS STILL UNANSWERED.

MESSAGE ABOUT YOUR HOLIDAY

THE US IS NOW ON PACE TO HIT
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DAILY+@
INFECTIONS.
AND LISTEN TO THIS AN AMERICAN
DIES FROM THE VIRUS ABOUT EVERY

ACCORDING TO JOHNS HOPKINS
UNIVERSITY HERE IN NORTH
CAROLINA, HOSPITALIZATIONS ARE

NUMBERS RELEASED BY THE STATE
TODAY SHOW MORE THAN 17 HUNDRED
PEOPLE IN THE HOSPITAL WITH THE
VIRUS.
THAT'S AN INCREASE OF MORE THAN
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY PATIENTS
FROM JUST YESTERDAY.
AN INFLUX OF PATIENTS LEAVING
FRONTLINE MEDICAL WORKERS
OVERWHELMED AND EXHAUSTED.
TONIGHT WE'RE HEARING FROM SOME

TANYA, YOU SPOKE WITH AN ICU
NURSE WHO'S HAD TO DEAL WITH
SOME VERY+@ TOUGH MOMENTS HERE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
SHE WORKS AT NOVANT UPTOWN AND
SHE SEES IT ALL.
SHE SAYS SHE NO LONGER TAKES
ANYTHING FOR GRANTED.
SHE REALIZES THE FRAGILITY OF
LIFE AND WHAT WE'RE ALL TALKING
ABOUT, THE THINGS THAT WE ARE
THANKFUL AND GRATEFUL FOR.
SHE WOULD JUST BE GRATEFUL IF
WE WOULD ALL TAKE THIS VIRUS
SERIOUSLY.
JASMINE ADAMS KNEW WHEN SHE
GRADUATED FROM NURSING SCHOOL
SHE'D BE HELPING PEOPLE GET
ATTACHED PATIENTS.
>> YOU KNOW, THEY ALMOST BECOME
LIKE FAMILY KNEW WHEN SHE TOOK
A JOB IN PRESBYTERIAN MEDICAL

WHAT IT WOU+@LD MEAN FOR OUR

SI+@CKEST OF THE SICKEST IN
HOSPITAL AND THEN A PANDEMIC
HIT.
>> IT WAS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY,
SO MUCH THAT WE JUST DIDN'T

ADAMS GOT OVER HER FEAR AND PUT
ON HER PPE BUT SAYS IT'S TAKING
A TOLL.
SOMETIMES WE CARRY THINGS HOME

FACES MEMORIES.

ADAMS IS THE ONE HOLDING

NO GOODBYES COULD BE SAID
WATCHED PEOPLE FROM THE SAME

HANDS TO SERVE PATIENTS WHO
HAVE EVEN LOST FAMILY MEMBERS
IN THE SAME WAY THEY NOT EVEN

MAKES ME NERVOUS.
THIS THANKSGIVING ADAMS HAS
MORE PERSPECTIVE ON THE
FRAGILITY OF LIFE.
DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR
GRANTED.
TRYING TO REMAIN HOPEFUL BUT
ALL SHE WANTS THIS HOLIDAY
SEASON IS FOR PEOPLE TO TAKE
THE VIRUS SERIOUSLY.
>> BE CAREFUL.
IT'S BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.
YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO TURN A
JOYOUS HOLIDAY INTO SOMETHING
THAT SHE'D REGRET.
YOU KNOW, FOR THE REST OF YOUR
LIFE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE
SICK AND WE REMAIN SO THANKFUL
FOR ALL THE SACRIFICES THAT
JASMINE'S MAKING IN THAT HER

HOWEVER, WE'VE GOT TO AT LEAST
THINK ABOUT IT AND CONSIDER
WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE OUTCOME
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
