And as the university of albany is testing the antimalaria drug hydroxychloroquine on thousands of new yorkers with covid19, the president is enthusiastically promoting the drug which still hasnt been proven effective against the virus and carries potentially serious side effects as a powerful drug. Dr. Anthony fauci, the nations top Infectious Disease expert, has said claims about the drug are anecdotal and based on essentially nothing. But at a News Conference at the white house, the president stepping in to stop fauci from answering questions about the drug. Would you also weigh in on this issue of hydroxychloroquine . What do you think about this and do you know how many times hes answered that question . Maybe 15. Im asking the doctor. He doesnt have to answer your question. Hes your medical expert, correct .

Reporter that nurse tells us hes now been away from his family for two weeks. Effective tomorrow wearing some kind of mask or Face Covering will not just be encouraged, it will be a requirement on miami beach if youre heading out to the pharmacy or Grocery Store. George . Okay, victor, thanks very much. Were joined now by u. S. Admiral brett giroir. Hes a key member of the White House Coronavirus task force. Admiral, thank you for joining us this morning. I know youre responsible for testing. Theres so much to cover across the country. I want to get to that as well. But i want to begin with that warning from Surgeon General adams yesterday saying america should be ready for a pearl harbor moment this week. He reports to you. Is that how you see it right now . What should americans know . Good morning, and i think the Surgeon General is absolutely right. For parts of the country, particularly new york, new jersey, connecticut, detroit, this week is going to be the peak week. Its going to be the peak hospitalization, peak icu week and unfortunately peak death week. That doesnt mean were over this week. There are other parts of the country that will peak a little bit later like new orleans. So we have to be very, very serious about whats happening this week, next week, the following weeks. Do the physical distancing, wear the masks. Thats how were going to defeat this virus. Thats all the prevention and the mitigation. Theres also a lot of questions about treatment as well and this possible treatment, hydroxychloroquine. Give us your best scientific judgment now about what people should know about that drug right now. Youre a pediatric icu surgeon. Would you prescribe it to your family, to your patients . I think the decision to use hydroxychloroquine is between a physician and a patient. It is a drug thats approved. We know a lot about it. It has some side effects, and it could be used off label. Any drug thats approved in the United States could be used for any indication that a physician thinks, and its a risk benefit analysis. If a person is really sick and about to go on a ventilator, the risk benefit calculation in my mind is probably would. You would probably use it because going on a ventilator, being on all the things we do in the icu, are also very risky, but its really an individualized decision. And i think its being made often throughout the country and were going to support physicians, doctors, pharmacists by making sure that the supply is there throughout the country should a physician and a patient decide thats what they want to do. Lets talk about where things stand with testing right now. The United States was clearly behind the curve at the beginning of this pandemic. Where do we stand right now, and just as important, where do we need to be if we do indeed want to move towards reopening at least parts of the country on may 1st . So where we are right now, as youve said, weve come a long way. As of yesterday weve conducted at least 1. 67 million tests, and we dont even get information from all of the laboratory derived tests. These are the ones that are in the hospitals that dont really report up through the system. Well do about a million tests this week and thats plenty enough tests for the people who really need it in the priority groups those who are hospitalized, Health Care Workers, elderly. When we get to the next phase about reopening the country, it will be a combination of the kind of tests we do now, plus something called serologic tests. Serologic tests are on a drop of blood. Theyre very, very quick. They will be scaled to the tens of millions very quickly and they will tell you if youve been exposed to the virus, have you had the virus. Thats very important as we think about reopening the country and the economy because if you have had the virus and you have an immune response to it, in all probability you are immune and safe from the virus. So it will be a combination of the active test for the virus will we be able to ramp up to those tens of millions by may 1st . For the serologic tests were very optimistic. There are several that are going through the fda right now. I just want to be a little bit cautious though. We want to make sure these tests are highly validated and their performance is excellent because we dont want to tell a person, yes, you have had it and youre immune, and thats not the case. So we are very optimistic. Im personally very optimistic that by may were going to have these in very large quantities with all the needed supplies. The current tests have a long supply chain swabs, media, testing, lab kits, et cetera. The next phase is much simpler. Finally, sir, we saw that report this morning about at the bronx zoo an animal testing positive for covid. What should that tell people about whether their pets can get it and viceversa . I think its the idea of pets, you know, we have to learn more about that. There is some cdc guidance that is posted on pets. Hopefully no one has a pet tiger, but clearly there could be a potential of some species. Coronaviruses are a very wide class of viruses, not this specific one, but theres a very wide class that affects many different species around the world which is why you have seen this transmission to us. Check the cdc guidance for updated information about your pets. That will change as our information evolves. Admiral, thanks very much for your time this morning. Youre welcome. Robin . All right, george. Were going to move overseas now. Pope Francis Holding palm sunday mass in a near empty st. Peters basilica. The service was live streamed to worshippers.

We told you the tragic story of that detroit bus driver who died days after making a video expressing his frustration over a passenger who did not cover her mouth while coughing on the bus. Well, now that mans family is sounding the alarm that some might not be taking the pandemic seriously. T. J. Holmes has that story for us. Good morning, t. J. Reporter hey, robin, good morning to you. This was a heartbreaking conversation i had with his family yesterday via video conference, and this is a family now thats trying to plan a funeral. Remember, he started getting sick just days after posting that video, venting about people not taking the Safety Measures seriously. Now his family believes that one particular persons careless act may have cost him his life. Despite stayathome orders across most of the country, some disregarding the rules, packing parks in San Francisco, piling into this market in washington d. C. , and Holding Church services around the country. More than 1,000 gathered for this one in louisiana. I know what the church is going to do. Were going to continue to stay open for business. Reporter all of which could have serious consequences. Detroit bus driver Jason Hargrove implored people weeks ago to take Public Health measures seriously. There was about a good eight, nine people on the bus and she stood there and coughed, never covered up her mouth. Reporter in an eightminute passionate facebook video, hargrove let out his anger and frustration at a passengers behavior. And we out here, as public workers, doing our job trying to make an honest living to take care of our families, but for you to get on the bus and stand on the bus and cough several times without covering up your mouth and you know that we in the middle of a pandemic, that lets me know that some folks dont care. Reporter days after his post, hargrove got sick. A week later, he was dead, having tested positive for covid19. Though theres no way of knowing for sure how the father of six contracted the virus, his wife cant help but wonder if that one passenger who hargrove claimed coughed repeatedly on his bus without covering up put her husband at greater risk. When he came home, he was so distressed. He immediately got out of them clothes, you know. He just it bothered him so bad. Reporter hargroves family speaking exclusively to abc news, says he feared going to work every day as a detroit bus driver, a job requiring him to interact with the public. He did not deserve this. So sad. He did not deserve this. So sad, so hurtful just to know, like, it could have been prevented. He was there for the citizens. Reporter his Facebook Post has gotten 700,000 views now. His page includes an image of him in a mask with the hashtag i cannot stay home, and says im on the road for you. In the end he wasnt all right. I am pleading with everyone, if you do not just have to be out, please obey your orders. This is not a game out here. This is not a joke out here. I am missing my husband. My children dont have their dad anymore. This is serious. So please, people, im begging you, i am begging you, do not let my husbands death be in vain. Reporter and its worth noting here that at a time that were all, george, being told to avoid crowds and avoid each other, there are so many people out there for the bus drivers, the store clerk, the Grocery Store workers just by the nature of their work and their job to keep us going have to interact with the public. They now, george, find themselves on the front lines and in greater danger than many of us. Yeah, those front lines are everywhere. T. J. , thanks very much. We want to turn now to new guidelines from the cdc about masks. Theyre now recommending that everyone wear cloth or fabric Face Coverings when heading outside into public spaces like Grocery Stores or pharmacies. Officials are showing us how to make them at home. Eva pilgrim has the details on that. Reporter this morning, a cultural shift happening in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. People, many who have never done it before, now Wearing Masks or Face Coverings just to step outside. We should all be wearing them when were out in public. Reporter this isnt the first time in our countrys history that Health Officials have encouraged masks. Pictures from the time of the 1918 spanish flu epidemic show people Wearing Masks. The cdc now recommending people to do just that when they leave their homes. When youre wearing your homemade mask, you want it to be as tight as it is comfortable. You dont want it to be loose because once its loose youll have gaps around the top and bottom, especially where it covers your nose. Reporter the goal of the mask, according to the cdc, is to keep anyone who may have the virus but doesnt have symptoms from unknowingly infecting others. But Authorities Say they dont want people taking the much needed n95 medical masks. Instead, encouraging people to buy cloth masks or even make your own. United states Surgeon General jerome adams showing how one can be made out of almost any fabric you have around the house. Fold it to the middle from the bottom. Fold it to the middle from the top. Fold it again to the middle from the bottom. And again from the top. And then, two rubber bands, one on one side and one on the other side. Then you fold either side to the middle and you have yourself a cloth Face Covering. Its that easy. Reporter and two things to keep in mind with these homemade masks. One, the thicker the fabric, the more effective. Think dish cloths or quilt. If the sun can get through, if you can see the sun through the fabric, the germs can also get through. And number two, michael, really important, just like any article of clothing, make sure you wash it. All right, eva, thank you so much for that. For more now lets bring in our abc news chief medical correspondent dr. Jennifer ashton. And doc, so many questions from viewers and well get right to it. Were going to start with an instagram question from sandy. How long does the virus stay on a mask, and does it need to be disinfected after every use . Doc, what is your answer to this . So michael, we dont have data on how long this virus survives on fabrics, but its important to remember here, this is not meant to be a sterile procedure. Youre not performing surgery. Youre just trying to form a barrier between your exhalation, stopping those viral particles from getting out there in the environment. So dont overthink it. And next we have a video question from leanne. Take a listen. Were seeing a lot of reports online that adults should now be Wearing Masks in public. But do our kids need to be wearing a mask too . That is a good question. I was walking my dog yesterday and i saw a father wearing a mask, the two kids didnt. What is your advice to this, doc . So the cdc recommends not putting these masks on toddlers under the age of 2, but we do think that children can be infected, just not show symptoms and therefore transmit the virus. If theyre old enough to wear a little bandana or scarf, that might be a good idea. Michael, i just want to show you the wrong way to cover your face. Your nose has to be covered, so whether youre using a bandana or you make your own, it does have to go over your nose and your mouth. Cover your nose and your mouth. You see so many people with the mask just over their mouth. Doc, thank you so much for that information. Robin, what you got . All great there. Thank you, michael and dr. Jen. Coming up, how to extend the life of your groceries to limit your trips to the store, also save you some money. So come on back. Straining, and bloating, again and again. No way. More exercise. More water. And more fiber is the only way to manage it. Is it . Maybe you think. Its occasional constipation. Maybe its not. It could be a chronic medical condition called ibsc, and time to say yesss to linzess. Linzess works differently than laxatives. It helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. Get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. The most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. If its severe, stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. Other side effects include gas, stomach area pain, and swelling. Change your thinking to ibsc. If your constipation and belly pain keeps coming back, tell your doctor and say yesss to linzess. Telledward jones is itswell aware of that. Et. Which is why were ready to listen.

Deborah birx, says now is not the time to go to the Grocery Store. Becky worley has some tips on how to make sure the food you already have in the house lasts. Reporter sell by, use by, best by, these are all the dates listed on Food Packaging and many consumers confuse those terms for a hard Expiration Date and might throw out food before its bad. All the different dates by, those are all related to the foods quality and not its safety. Reporter experts like Consumer Reports amy keating say now is the time to utilize our freezers. Keating helps us break down a few popular items. First up, eggs. The date on the egg carton is not a live and die date. You dont need to throw the eggs out if its past that date. Reporter keating says eggs will last in your fridge for three to five weeks after you purchased them, but if you arent going to finish that carton in time, you can beat and freeze them in an Airtight Container for about a year. What about veggies . Many can be frozen or for items like kale or spinach once theyre blanched you can put them in your freezer. Reporter to blanch some leafy produce, you drop it in boiling water for a short period and then transfer it to ice water to stop the cooking. Keating says it will last ten months when frozen. For berries, remove the stems and place them in a paper towel lined container to prevent them from getting moldy. Just prior to eating them, wash them. Dont wash the whole batch and store them in the refrigerator. Theyre only going to spoil that much quicker. Reporter as for that constant staple, bread make sure its presliced so youre not thawing and refreezing it and youre taking out exactly what you need. Reporter and it will keep for up to three months. But keating says if youre questioning if anything in your fridge is still safe to eat, there is one rule we should all live by. When in doubt, throw it out. Now another resource is the usda food keeper app. It lets you know how long things can last in your fridge after you brought them home.

Its the first known infection in an animal in the u. S. Will reeve has the latest on this story. Good morning, will. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. Officials at the bronx zoo noticed the 4yearold tiger, nadia, with a cough and some other symptoms on march 27th. So they tested her and that test came back positive for coronavirus. They tested her out of an abundance of caution and the chief vet at the zoo was quick to say that humans and animals get a different test. So there was no competition for limited resources here. The test on nadia, the tiger, was done at a usda Veterinary Lab and officials at the zoo and the usda believe that nadia contracted the virus from an infected asymptomatic staffer. That staffer is reportedly doing okay and recovering. Same with nadia, but there are six other big cats, a couple tigers, a few lions at the bronx zoo who are displaying those same symptoms. Health Officials Say that there is no evidence that animals pass along the virus to humans, but the director of the bronx zoo says that any knowledge of the virus and how its transmitted will be a resource for people, michael.

For almost 30 years my foundation has prioritized the most Vulnerable People to hiv to end the aids epidemic, and were committed to this during the covid19 crisis too. We are with you. We are thinking of you. We will not leave anyone behind. And pink is also in the news this morning reporting that she and her son are feeling so much better after both testing positive for covid19. So grateful she is, that shes making a big donation to the cause, earmarking 500,000 to go to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Fund in philadelphia. Thats where her mom judy worked for nearly 20 years, and another 500,000 shell give to the city of los angeles emergency covid19 crisis fund. Guys, another singer, john mayer, he isnt waiting for the world to change. Nope, hes stepping up this morning to help his adopted parttime home state of montana.

And our generous friend tyler perry is in the news this morning.

Perry is helping out some of the servers at one of his favorite restaurants. He picked up his to go order at houstons over the weekend leaving just a little more than 20 of the tip, like, how about 21,000. That turns out to be 500 for each of the 42 employees of that restaurant. Every little bit counts. Thank you, tyler perry. And finally, guys, with all of us staying home every day, we have heard over and over again it feels a little bit like groundhog day. The same routine, so if you can no longer keep track of what day it is, then you can understand why one of the news stations in cleveland, ohio started doing a new segment called, what day is it . Take a look. Its friday. There you go. Its not exactly breaking news but it is a Public Service nonetheless. By the way, just in case you were wondering, its monday. And thats pop news, everybody. Lets get back to you guys. So good to see your smiling faces. Oh boy. My kids are asking me, mom, what day is it . Im, like, really . You dont know what day it is. We got to get them to tune into that station. How about that. Great job, lara, and great to see everybody chipping in, tyler perry, john mayer, everyone else. George, over to you. Amy, im with your kids. Ive been forgetting too. Its okay. Were going to turn now to new concerns about zoom. Its the Video Conferencing app so many of us are using to keep up with work and school, and new York City Schools have now decided to stop using it for Remote Learning after a warning from the fbi about Cyber Security and privacy concerns. Rebecca jarvis is here to explain what it all means. Good morning, rebecca. Reporter good morning, george. Yeah, and zoom is now the most downloaded app for free in the apple store right now. At the end of last year they had 10 million users a day. Now that number has surged to more than 200 million users, and a lot of them are teachers using the app for Remote Learning, but here in new york the Largest School system in the country, they are now banning the use of zoom. This comes after the fbi warning about the fact that a lot of zoom meetings have been hijacked by socalled zoom bombers. These zoom bombings mean that an outsider shows up in a meeting uninvited, oftentimes sharing pornographic, hate filled or threatening language. Here in new york the teachers have now been instructed, george, to use Different Software as a result. Some real issues right there. What is zoom saying about it . Reporter so i spoke to the zoom ceo at length about these issues because theyve been going on for a while now, and he says hes sorry, he really messed up. They were not ready for this influx of users, and he believes that part of the issue is that all of their users or most of their users before this moment were professional businesses that worked with zoom that provided employee training before they got onto the app. Now anyone can use it because it is free and because people are using it who arent familiar with all the protocols, they arent putting into place things that will protect them. Zoom is now making sure that meetings have a waiting room. That means before anybody can come into the meeting, they have to be welcomed in from the waiting room and they believe that this will help solve some of the issue, but the zoom ceo says they are continuing to work on privacy and security. They say a spokesperson telling abc news this morning, that they are committed to working with the new York Public School system, and they are continuing to have that conversation, george. Yeah, no one was ready for this kind of explosion. Okay, rebecca, thanks very much. Robin . Yeah, how can you get ready for Something Like that, george, youre right. Weve got a little monday motivation to help reboot your system, ease anxiety brought on by the coronavirus. Mental Health Hotlines reported eight times the normal call volume last month, and today new york Governor Cuomo is set to announce the new york state of mind. Its a partnership with head space Meditation App to provide Free Services for people in the epicenter of the crisis. I know firsthand. George does too, the benefits of meditation. But meditation mentor bob roth explains why its a valuable tool to have in your survival kit. Everybody sit back comfortably and easily. And first lets close our eyes. Reporter breathe in, breathe out. For Many Americans a meditation practice is helping ease anxiety during this time of uncertainty, and its no surprise Meditation Apps like calm and head space are seeing a spike in usage. The mind settles down and the brain wakes up. Your body gains a state of rest deeper than sleep. It improves serotonin which is a neurotransmitter for happiness. It really reboots the system. Reporter bob roth is a leading practitioner in transcendental medication who i turned to in my own practice over the years. Not sure how to get started . We discussed it in 2016. I think like a lot of people, bob, im not going to be able to do it. I cant quiet my mind. You said to me, of course you cant. Nobody can. Nobody can. Once you say that and recognize the thought and push it out. If it comes back in let it go. Let it go. Reporter for Health Care Workers like dr. Kathy wong, meditation can be a powerful tool. Practice helps to decrease the anxiety, cuts through the noise and helps me gain clarity. Reporter and this morning, bob sharing a new initiative to benefit so many. The David Lynch Foundation is launching today heal the healers now to bring transcendental meditation to all the Health Care Heros who are on the front line. That is something else. Were talking to doctors, nurses, custodians, everyone who works in health care, everyone at the hospital, on the front lines in the battle against this terrible virus. Bob believes they are suffering from ptsd the same way soldiers on the battlefield. So tm is used widely in va hospitals because it helps veterans heal from trauma, and now this new program is going to bring meditation to the medical heros who are in a real life and death battle. For more info, theres a website, healthehealersnow. Org. So to go along with our meditation, some monday motivation, courtesy, shes my girl, robin arzon, the best selling author, motivational peloton instructor, she is joining us live this morning. It is so good to have you with us. Thank you. You are somebody that always as my mama says, good to lay my eyes on you. Good to lay my eyes on you. But as you know its a difficult time, and when it is a little difficult time, it is a little harder for people to find something to be grateful for. So how do you help them do just that . Whoo, you know what, we cant overthink it. We have to start from where we are and be honest with those feelings. The reality is that a moment of thank you, a moment of honest thank you is a sliver of hope that turns hopelessness into togetherness. I think we all need a little bit of that. Our vulnerabilities connect us, but so does strength. Vulnerability is not a weakness. It is a strength and people have to realize that, and we know that you are about fitness. But youre also about mental motivation, and i love this gratitude roll call that you have started. Can you tell people about that, and how that comes into play . You know, for the folks who follow me on social media and ride and run with me on peloton, this was a call to action. In this moment we need that shift of perspective that takes us out of ourselves and into our community. And you know, robin, gratitude turns why me into try me. Hmm. I know, i know. The time we were riding together you shared that. You also said something about resilience is a muscle thats worth exercising. Just tell how that could really help you in a time like this, robin. We dont need anyones permission to star in our own movie, and sometimes when were in the thick of it, we forget that the test will be our testimony, and i like to think, what story are you writing with your thoughts and actions, and you could always walk the walk, talk the talk and find a little bit more resilience from all youve survived. Weve all survived 100 of our bad days and we are here to tell that story with the strength that accompanies it. Absolutely, remember those times. Let me see you again because youve got that crown on. It might be tilted a little bit but and tell people about why it is so important, how that crown is going to help you through this time. Ooh, listen, we are kings and queens, and even when the crown slips, its still there. Even if we cant see it, the invisible crown is still there. Its important to be able to look in the mirror and give yourself credit and give yourself grace. We all know diamonds are nice but the crown is made of grit and compassion and hustle. I was raised by a queen. In fact, my mother is a doctor. She is fighting. She is a warrior right now, fighting this battle and i couldnt be more proud. So i encourage people to look at the superheroes in your life. Yeah. And your mom is a superhero. Shes super fly. I love that picture you posted of her in the red. She had it going on. I see where you get it now. Hey robin, thank you, in all sincerity, appreciate it so much. We just really thank you for what you are doing. You can learn more about meditation resources from the David Lynch Foundation or head space on our website and of course robin arzon with peloton. Lets go back to ginger whos there at home. Ging .

As we head into the future with future radar, you can see the best chance will be across the south bay, but it will rotate to the north. Showers will weaken a little bit when they do that. You saw a lot of reds there. Thats some of the hail and snow thats possible. So today is a 1. A slight chance tomorrow and we get back to average if not warmer this weekend. Kamasi . You can always find us on our news app and abc7news. Com. The news continues n he news continues n welcome back to gma. We hope youre safely watching us from home this morning. Thats right, and americans across the country are trying to adjust to the many challenges brought on by this crisis. We know at least 10 Million People are out of work in just the past two weeks. Thats obviously making it hard for people to pay their bills including rent and mortgage payments. Lets bring in shark tanks Barbara Corcoran to answer some of your tough questions this morning. Barbara, thanks for being with us. Were going to start with malisha. Shes one of millions of americans worried about making those rent payments. She rents her home. Take a listen. I see that homeowners have been receiving assistance and coverage for their mortgages, but what happens to the renters that are renting from them that are receiving this forgiveness . How are renters supposed to make it through this crisis . Barbara, what are her options . Well, all renters are in a tough spot right now and hopefully theres more help coming, but already in most of the states we have moratoriums so tenants cannot be evicted and thats good to remember. Thats through may, and chances are very good theyll extend that month by month. If someone has lost their job because of the illness or the pandemic, they should be calling their landlord right away, and simply telling them that theyre struggling and chances are very good that landlords today will defer some of their rent. Defer simply means not that you get off scotfree, but that you pay less now, and you make up for it later when you are back on your feet. Barbara, lets go from renting to home ownership. For the week of march 22nd theres been a 34 drop in new listings compared to this time last year and our viewer irma from los angeles, shes wondering whether she should move forward with her plans to buy a house. Take a look. With the pandemic thats going on right now is this the right time to purchase a home . My goal was by the end of the year to purchase a home, but the rates are low right now. Should i take advantage of that or should i wait . What is your input on that . Thats a very good question. Barbara, youre the ultimate real estate expert. Should she wait or not, and what do you see happening to inventory in prices over the next weeks or the next months . Let me answer irmas question first directly to her. Yes, irma, you should be moving forward despite your concerns and your fears. Thats quite natural. Interest rates are at an alltime low, but remember in the l. A. Market theres a short supply of homes and there has been continuing rising prices. If you wait, youre just going to pay more for that house once the market is flooded by buyers, so now is really the time to get ready, get prequalified for your mortgage so you know what you can borrow and get out shopping so that you really know values and you know to move early and be there first once the market resumes. And about the real estate if you want me to keep talking, i will. Keep going. The Real Estate Market in general i would love to address. The Real Estate Market is stalled right now, but one thing for sure is it aint going away. Agents cant show. Buyers cant shop, and sellers are scared, but lower priced homes interestingly across the nation are selling very well despite whats going on, and once the market resumes, this Real Estate Market across the board is going to explode, and theres one thing to always remember. In uncertain times, theres always deals to be had. If youre brave of heart and youre out there being aware of what values are and whats going around, youre going to recognize a sweetheart deal when you see it. Everybody gets a sweetheart deal in a tough market if theyre brave enough to be out there. Thats where buyers should be if theyre serious about buying. All right, barbara, and we have been talking about renters, but there are the people who own those rental properties who have those concerns. Leon is worried about his loss of income. Lets take a listen. I have four rental units that i purchased in the last seven years. Recently i lost two tenants due to the outbreak. Im afraid that i wont be able to cover mortgage payments, taxes and insurance at the end of the year. What would you do in my situation . What leon and other landlords do in these times . Leon, theres really no perfect answer, but i can certainly tell you what i would do. I would get in touch with my two biggest people that are giving me the biggest bills which are the Mortgage Company and your taxes. If you address those two big bills, its going to make a big difference. You should reach out to your lender to see what theyre willing to do. Commercial lenders right now are either waiving Interest Rates and late fees, converting loans to interest only, or theyre even in some instances offering to defer payments until this epidemic is over. So you wont know unless you reach out to them and see what theyre willing to do. Next you should contact your Tax Authority and stay in touch with what their position is. Its always changing, and everybody is making deals right now. Every town makes their own deals and you should know what that is. Last of all, you should not be desperate and sell those units. You worked hard for seven years to own them and once this whole thing is over theyre going to jump up in value. So the last thing you want to do is think about unloading those homes. Barbara corcoran, as always, incredible advice. Thank you so much. Were going to head back to lara now. Thank you so much, amy.

Yeah, just like us. Sounds like my day, just about exactly. Yeah, exactly, just doing things. Were all in this together. So your new show, we love this, is your rapping alter ego nikki fre h and each episode ends with you singing a song. I love how your alter ego came about while you were gardening. Please explain. Yes, it did actually. You really never know what is going to come out when youre gardening and thats really the thing. So, i actually i started working on an Edible Garden around six, seven years ago and i just fell in love with it. I loved being connected to nature. I loved the idea of growing my own food and it was just something that i loved and really wanted to share with people, and i was like what how can i communicate to a large amount of people how amazing and spiritual i think gardening can be. I naturally think im going to go towards making a hiphop album about it. So thats what i did. You know, i started hashtagging nikki fre h on instagram when i was doing all of my harvests and people loved it. I was like, you know what, this is my stage name and its also going to be my hiphop name so it has a double meaning. One of the episodes centered around veggies, and this is your song called ugly for the veggies. Lets take a look. Its not whats on the outside, but the inside that counts its all about safety we know that youre tasty, yall need to chill its not a matter of safety take a bite, its all right, not every peach has to bounce but im going to make it bounce i love it. Lets talk about how the show kicks off. A very special guest appearance, youve got your husband, joel madden. We see you and joel and his brother bengis Record Company pitching the idea for nikki fre h, and this actually all happened in real life too . Yes. This scene actually on some level happened in real life because i wanted to make this album. I was excited to make a nikki fre h comedy album and i really had to go into joels office. I made an appointment with him because you can say whatever you want at home, right, but like i wanted to make it real so i booked an appointment with him and bengi and i had to walk into a room with them and probably four other guys. I was the only girl in there. I was wearing a dress. Everybody else was in all black, covered in tattoos. And i walked in there with a poem and read the poem and told them that poem was a big inspiration to me to do this trap album. You know, they were they were very nice about it, you know, but i loved that day so much and so joel and i have never been on camera together in our lives and weve never worked together. But i was like, please come and do this First Episode with me just because i really wanted to recreate that scene. You know what, now youre the hottest rapper in the game as they say. Nicole, we im so happy youre on my page. Thank you. Well, you know what, congratulations on the show. Were looking forward to it, looking forward to the album as well. The first three episodes of nikki fre h are available now on quibi and the rest of the series will be up daily. Thank you so much to nicole richie, everybody. Well be right back.
