Brad paisley surprising these amazing frontline workers. Count their dediti a sgi eiprse good morning, america. Great to have you with us on this tuesday morning. And, robin, i know you have great news out of my home state of texas. Always love starting this way, michael. Lets take a look at this moment. After battling coronavirus for nearly 40 days, a texas man finally released from that medical center, reunited with his familygl there, what a fighter. And, amy, we hear there at that hospital when a patient recovers from coronavirus, they call it code rocky. Oh, i love it and you know, he is not alone because more than 111,000 americans have recovered from the virus as the total number of confirmed cases in the United States nears that 1 million mark. 23,000 new cases just yesterday, but in one of our major cities, this is an important milestone. I know, robin, youre listening to this. For the rstier a mo with no nedehs froedgeorge. , th amy. We are going to begin, based on that, with the latest moves to reopen the country. Some states are taking significant steps, others keeping lockdowns in place, even extending them, while laying out plans to relax restrictions in the coming weeks. Our chief National Affairs correspondent tom llamas tracking it all from the Javits Center in new york. Good morning, tom. Reporter george, good morning to you. And were out here this morning because Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked the president to keep the makeshift hospital here open and on standby. Governor cuomo fears a possible second wave of the coronavirus but also the possibility of a collision of virus come the flu season in the fall. This as several businesses are opening in some states and new Research Shows americans are on the move. This morning, the push to reopen america coming straight from the president. Theres a hunger for getting our country back and its happening and its happening faster than people would think. Reporter but some governors say they still need help when it comes to testing. The white house on monday releasing a plan touted as a blueprint to do just that. An Administration Official saying they plan to give governors the ability to test 2 of their residents per month but the onus to do that still falls on the states. Critics say the plan doesnt offer ways to fix the supply chain or expand lab testing. The president also dodging questions about his Statement Last week when he suggested injecting disinfectants as a solution to battle the coronavirus. States then reporting a spike in calls about whether the disinfectant kills covid19 in the body. Do you take any responsibility . No, i cant imagine i cant imagine. Reporter the president s comments come as new Research Suggests americans are suffering from what experts call quarantine fatigue. Using anonymous cell phone location data, the university of maryland is keeping track of how far and how often americans are traveling during the pandemic. On Easter Sunday researchers say the number of people staying home reached a record high. But almost two weeks later data shows social distancing has reached its lowest level since march 20th. The break with stayathome orders comes as several states are moving to lift theirs or roll them back. On friday, in texas, retail stores, restaurants, museums, libraries and malls can open with 25 capacity. In ohio, a rollout plan that starts with nonelective medical procedures, dental offices and veterinarians all open for business. I think we found the spot that is most likely to cause less damage, more likely to cause good. But its a risk. Reporter but other states not ready to ease restrictions. New jerseys stayathome order extended indefinitely. We need to ensure we have a robust and fully functioning Health Care System ready to meet the challenges ahead. Reporter in new york, where there are still 1,000 new hospitalizations a day, Governor Cuomo saying he will extend new yorks pause order in many parts of the state and preparing for the fall flu season and possible second wave of covid19. The facilities that were built, i spoke to the president about leaving them in place until we get through the flu season. God forbid we need extra capacity again. Reporter the work in new york still taking a profound toll on the Health Care Workers on the front lines. The medical director of the Emergency Department at new yorkpresbyterian hospital, dr. Lorna breen, died by suicide. Dr. Breen had contracted the virus herself, recovered, and went back to work. Her father telling the new york times, make sure shes praised as a hero, because she was. Another painful reminder it is far from over. Another headline we want to mention this morning involves colleges and universities, so many wondering if they will be open in the fall. One major university, harvard, with a very blunt assessment saying they will be open this fall, but the learning, all of it or some of it, would be done remotely. Michael . Thank you so much there, tom. As some states relax lockdowns theres concern about reopening colleges and universities around the country this fall. Joining us is Purdue University president mitch daniels, also a former governor of indiana who last week announced plans to welcome students back to the campus this fall. Thank you so much for joining us this morning. You described purdue as a city of more than 50,000. So how can you reopen the School Safely . Well have to do that under very different conditions. I will point out that city, which you mentioned, is unusual its residents on a daily basis are under the age of 35. And, therefore, the data is very, very clear that essentially no lethal risk from this disease. Our problem, and its a big one, will be to see if we can devise ways to protect the those who are vulnerable, those who are older, those who have various associated comorbidities from the virus. And itll take every day between now and the fall to make those preparations and those changes and thats why we are trying to start now. I know you just said 80 are 35 and under but the other 20 , theyre still vulnerable. Not only is it just the students there is but also the faculty, you know, some other people who work there who are at risk as well. What would you say to them about, okay, the school is going to open. You are at risk. What is the plan that you have to protect them as well . Michael, thats exactly the point weve made to them if you read our letter. Listen, michael, we are here for our students and our students in overwhelming numbers say they want to be here. Our applications have set another record this year, acceptances of our offers have set a record which surprised us. And im hearing every day from students who want to know will we make arrangements so that they can pursue their education and get their lives started on the schedule they wanted. So, the whole challenge for us, the biggest challenge is exactly as you said, what do we do about to protect our faculty and staff, that significant number who would be at greater sses. La the of c, dini sidential arrangements and everything with that goal in mind. We think we can do it, but we dont pretend to have all the answers. Were working very hard right now. I know social distancing will be tough because kids share bedrooms. They share bathrooms, common areas, lunch areas and all those different things. Harvard University Said it cannot guarantee they will reopen in the traditional way this fall. What makes you feel what makes you so much more confident you can reopen your campus . Were not guaranteeing anything. Were just saying we have a can do attitude at purdue. You know, were known for engineering and science that weve always said that we want every graduate whatever they study to leave here with a as a problem solver. Someone prepared to try to tackle the challenges of life, make a better world. And thats what were saying were trying to do now on behalf of 40,000 students who are telling us they want to be here and want us to make that possible and safe for them and for those around them. Have you been talking to other College President s and if so, do they have a similar plan like you do . Well, were hearing from a lot of people. Again, we dont pretend to have a plan yet, although we have many, many ideas. A faculty led group including some of really the worlds premiere biologists and Public Health experts has been working on options. Well be looking at them very soon. Were not prescribing, and we never do at purdue, anything were doing for anyone else. Were trying to make the best decisions for our students and our institution. If we think weve learned anything, well gladly share it. But for the moment, were in a planning mode and in an analysis mode and therefore not holding ourselves out as worlds experts on any of this. All right, we appreciate your time, mr. Daniels. Thank you so much and good luck in this Upcoming School year. Thank you very much. Robin . All right, michael. Thank you. Now to the urgent search for a treatment for coronavirus. Several existing medications are now being studied including the active ingredient in a popular overthecounter heartburn drug. Eva pilgrim joins us now with more on that. Good morning, eva. Reporter good morning, robin. Yeah, researchers are looking into all the options following the scientific clues, hopeful one will lead to a treatment. This morning, the popular overthecounter heartburn drug famotidine, the active ingredient in pepcid, is getting a lot of attention. Were not using conventional what we call pepcid or overthecounter reflux doses. Reporter doctors at new yorks Northwell Health giving some patients at the drug at nine times the strength intravenously, at times coupled with hydroxychloroquine, that controversial antimalaria drug. The basic theory famotidine may act like a decoy throwing a wrench into the virus machinery limiting its ability to spread through the body. The study started after doctors in china noticed that patients who just happened to be on the medicine fared better in their fight against covid. It was like a mac truck hit me. Reporter christine from long island, an essential worker, said she tested positive for covid19. Her brother, a biologist, after consulting a doctor suggested she take famotidine. At noon my breathing, shortness of breath and the fever had gone away. Reporter meanwhile researchers at yale will soon begin a Clinical Trial looking into ibudilast, an asthma drug scientists exploring its potential for treating acute respiratory distress syndrome, a potentially deadly lung condition popping up among some stricken with covid19. As the virus is proving more deadly for men than women, some experts in long island and los angeles are also beginning to look into two hormone treatments to fight the virus. Its important to remember these are all potential treatments. Scientists say at this point they dont know yet if these potential treatments will actually work. Amy . All right, eva pilgrim. Thank you very much. Dr. Jennifer ashton joins us now. Dr. Ashton, lets talk about evas report. It appears that these chinese doctors stumbled upon this potential treatment by accident. Is that common . Amye often find or discover ne, thsenwa discovered. But we have to remember when youre talking about an off label use for Something Like this in critically ill or seriously ill patients, you have to balance risk versus benefit. First do no harm. And i really worry when we hear these anecdotal reports of one patient was helped. One patient felt better. In medicine and science, we base our decisions based on hundreds and thousands of patients. So not ready for primetime yet. Some important perspective there, dr. Jen ashton, thank you very much. Now to new concerns about zoom. Homeland security warning the Popular Video conferencing progn spies, urging organizations to consider the risk before using it. Chief justice correspondent Pierre Thomas is in washington, d. C. With more on this. Good morning, pierre. Reporter amy, good morning. Thats right. Today Homeland Security is warning Law Enforcement that zoom, the highly Popular Video conferencing service, now 200 million users strong, could be used to eavesdrop on u. S. Citizens or for espionage. Homeland Security Officials are especially worried about china because zoom did some of their development there and Homeland Security claims that china has access to zooms service and could exploit them. But overnight zoom telling abc news that the u. S. Governments intelligence is heavily misinformed and they claimed that chinas workers do not have the type of access that would allow them to spy. George . Okay, pierre, thanks very much. We turn to the race for the white house and joe biden preparing to announce the team that will help him choose a running mate as new polls show him leading nationally and in key states. Mary bruce tracking all the latest. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, george. Joe biden is trying to narrow his search for a Vice President. Already the public auditions are well under way. Plenty of his former rivals are now potential picks including Senators Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris out actively campaigning for biden. He said he will pick a woman to be his Vice President and while at home in delaware hes been interviewing some of his potential picks in his new podcast and recently heaped praise on senator Amy Klobuchar and has been reaching out to Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer as she tackles this crisis. And then there is former georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams she is taking things a step further. She is actually actively campaigning for the vp job. He has said hell announce his formal Search Committee by friday and he has said that he could announce his pick in june. Robin . Many anxious to see who that will be. All right, mary, thank you. We have the latest on kim jongun, not seen in public for weeks. President trump saying he has, quote, a very good idea about his health but adding he cannot talk about it. Martha raddatz is in washington, has the latest on all that for us. Good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. President trump managed to deepen the mystery about kim jongun saying he knows, relatively speaking how kim is doing, but a senior u. S. Defense official told me in blunter terms the stories of kims death are hogwash. But the official added that something is going on and although we havent seen kim in weeks, satellite images from 38 north have spotted what appears to be kims train, his preferred mode of transportation at one of the family compounds. So could he be hiding out to just avoid covid19 . But none of this intelligence is solid proof and until he appears in public, the speculation will continue. Michael . All right. Thank you so much, martha. We are following a lot of headlines this morning including the crucial issue of testing for covid. The white house announcing that new plan to help states, the task forces testing czar is joining us live. And then soldout supplies.

To deliver prescription medicine by drone. Sis da cvs says the Drone Program is meant to help people who are sheltering in place. Well have a lot more on that coming up in our next hour. George . Okay, amy, thanks. We begin with a closer look at the critical issue of testing for covid. So far the u. S. Has completed 5. 4 million tests but experts say that number will have to rise dramatically, up to 20 million a day before we can fully open the economy. And yesterday the white house laid out guidelines for states to ramp up testing to 2 of the u. S. Population each month. Were joined by the official in charge of the white house testing effort, admiral brett giroir. Welcome back to gma, admiral. Thank you for joining us this morning. Theres a strong consensus well need lots of testing to reopen. But critics are saying the white house guidelines dont go far enough, that you need mandates and a national strategy, more funding. Heres what senator patty murray had to say. Your plan doesnt set specific minimum goals, offer a timeframe, identify ways to fix our broken supply chain or offer any details whatsoever on expanding lab capacity or achieving needed manufacturing capacity. What is your response to senator murray . Well, my response is the blueprint we did yesterday was meant to outline the roles and responsibilities as well as the core objectives of a testing and Rapid Response program. I guess senator murray just does not understand the details of what have were doing on a statebystate basis. Our team has contacted and are working with every single state, d. C. , puerto rico to define really the specifics of what that state needs according to their state reopening plan and the 2 really is sort of a minimum floor. There are many states that want to do 4 , 6 , 8 every month. We have the supply chains figured out. We know what we can supply the states so we really are much more sophisticated. The overall strategy is a strategy. Its not a statebystate plan. Thats what were doing individually with the states. But its not just senator murray who has had this kind of criticism. Even one of the president s strongest allies, former governor Chris Christie of new jersey says that the white house has or the president has to order the defense production act to fix the supply chain and make sure every state has what it needs. You know, im in the middle of this. Everyone who is commenting is on the periphery of it. Let me tell you the ground truth. The ground truth is for most circumstances the dpa is not necessary because there is maximum production. All the industries are working together. On the supply chain related to testing, there will be a dpa rculpactions but a n greatly pa the testing we need, some of the testing supplies so that particularly by fall when we may have covid circulating with influenza and need drastically more tests than we have now, well have the supplies that we need. But the dpa has been used selectively when its necessary but in most regards, certainly regarding testing its really unnecessary, but the hand up, you will see, will be implemented as necessary. I guess one of the big questions, is that hand up going to be enough . I know youve seen the report from the experts at harvard who say that were going to need to really open the economy, to get started, well need to be testing 5 Million People a day in june, up to 20 million in july, and that the guidelines youve laid out cant get us anywhere near that. So, we dont believe those estimates are really accurate, nor are they reasonable in our society. What were talking about, the 2 context. 2 per month is almost double the per capita rate that south korea has achieved over the last four months accumulated. This is a massive amount of tests. And in many states well be doing 4 , 6 , 8 according to the state guidelines. We know for a fact that we can supply those states with the full supply chain, the swab, the media, the testing capability to achieve those goals. And, remember, particularly in the summer its not just about tests, because we can look at syndromes. There is no influenza circulating in the summer. So when someone comes in with an influenzalike illness well have a good idea that person is likely covid infected and can search that area. So tests are absolutely important. Theyre critical. They will be expanded dramatically as we reopen but its not the only tool we have in the toolbox. I know youre also working to dramatically expand the Antibody Test. Are you satisfied now with the quality of the tests that are going to be going out in the states . So, as weve stated many times, particularly the point of care Antibody Test could be fraught with inaccuracies, and that is why the National Cancer institute along with the fda and cdc are really running the full panels of these tests against what we believe is a gold standard. Youll be seeing some of those results really soon. Many tests are just not up to par and some seem to be performing very, very well and thats very, very important and it actually took a whole appendix in the blueprint we talked about yesterday about why having a very highly specific test, particularly for an antibody to talk about immunity, is really critically important so youll be seeing those results very soon. Admiral giroir, thanks for your time this morning. Youre welcome. Now to the household supply chain. Weve talked about likely Food Shortages but other common items like toilet paper and cleaning products are very scarce as well. Experts say some will be back soon but others could take a while. T. J. Holmes joins us with what you need to know. Good morning, t. J. Reporter good morning. And, yes, there is a chance that your neighbor at some point in recent weeks has more toilet paper in the closet than your local store had on the shelf. Yes, people went on a panic buying spree. But and i hope youll forgive the word relief is on the way in terms of toilet paper but for a few more items well experience shortages for possibly more months. Americans stocking up, retailers selling out. Common Household Items have been flying off store shelves during this coronavirus crises and some of those shelves might be bare a while longer. Syracuse University Supply Chain Management professor Patrick Penfield says that manufacturers are adjusting their strategies. Panic buying is what occurred so people just bought en masse. Reporter cleaning supplies have been in high demand and at times hard to come by as americans try to protect themrovirus. Now shortages for things like disinfectants and antibacterial wipes are expected to continue well into the summer. You know, lysol, a lot of manufacturers, they get ingredients from china and then china had some issues in regards to the coronavirus and so what were seeing is this disruption thats happening throughout the supply chain. Reporter but penfield says expect better luck this week with toilet paper and paper towels. Americans went on a panibuyispr toilet paper and paper towels are made right here in the u. S. And manufacturers ramped up production. Charmin tells us their Production Facility at the moment looks about the same as this, saying in a statement to abc news, we are producing and shipping charmin at record high levels. Demand continues to outpace supply but we are working diligently to get product to our retailers as fast as humanly possible so everyone can continue to enjoy the go. Georgia pacific which produces angel soft is now producing p scott and cottonelle is closely monitoring their levels and adjusting their supply chain strategy. Now, they do recommend if you cant find some of these cleaning products, the cdc says, yes, a specific mixture of bleach and water will water and isopropyl alcohol and Hydrogen Peroxide have been effective and also helpful, the supplyfinder. Com, a specific website, put in your zip code and it will tell you specific areas where you can find needed items. Great advice. T. J. , thank you so much. Get a little creative and make your on concoction as well. Coming up next that alarming scene caught on camera. A crowded passenger plane making it very difficult for social distancing. What one Major Airline is doing this morning to protect everyone on board. On board. On board. I wanted more from my copd medicine thats why ive got the power of 1, 2, 3 medicines with trelegy.

We are back now with those new concerns about coronavirus and air travel. After this video, have you seen it, the packed plane, it made the rounds online. Many are asking if the airlines are doing enough to keep passengers, keep everybody on board, kemp them safe. Gio benitez has more on that at lga in new york. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, robin, good morning to you. The airlines say theyre trying to maintain social distancing but this morning, one woman says she was shocked when she boarded a flight that was nearly full. This morning, six seconds of video getting a lot of attention online. An American Airlines flight nearly full going from new york to charlotte saturday. People sitting side by side. Erin strine recorded the video. What was this experience like . You get on this plane and you were surprised to see so many people. It was shocking to say the least. It was the first time i felt truly unsafe. I recognized the risk i was taking by agreeing to be on an airplane in the first place and while i wanted to believe all of the precautions would be taken that i had read on the airlines website, you know, there are lots of asterisks there. Reporter the plane was about 85 full. The airline says its leaving about half of its middle seats in standard economy empty. This flight in particular was not a leisure flight for you. No. My grandmother passed away recently. And so i wanted to come home to be here for my parents, my dad especially. You know, it wasnt a decision i made lightly. Reporter captain dennis tajer heads up the union for American Airlines pilots. He says he was shocked by what he saw. Were not where we need to be. Having a flight go out with mostly every seat booked is not the answer. Reporter american saying it will start to offer masks to passengers but overnight jetblue going a step further becoming the first major u. S. Airline to require all customers to wear face coverings during travel. American, united, delta and jetblue are also mandating masks for flight attendants. Sara nelson is president of the largest Flight Attendants Union. You want the public, crew members, airport employees, you want everyone Wearing Masks . From the airport door to the airplane door on the airplane and then back out through the airport, we want people wearing face coverings in all those areas. Reporter so what will air travel look like in the future . United says starting this week, it intends to leave one seat open next to each passenger but it wont guarantee it. And one aviation interior Design Company is proposing a change like this, seats with transparent barriers and another model shows the middle seat in reverse. Inside a least a dozen airports tsa installing plexiglas barriers at travel document checkin stations. Emirates offering some passengers rapid covid19 tests before boarding, the First Airline to do so. Now, the airlines say that in most cases theyll allow passengers to move to another seat if they feel more comfortable. But no matter what, the cdc recommends that all travelers wear a face mask. Robin . Absolutely. All right. Gio, thank you so much. Coming up, our play of the day. So come on back. And sing along almost any time that i can. Its my own thing that i can do for me. Since i dont have time to read, i mean i might as well listen. If i want to catch up on the news, or history, or learn whats going on in the world, i can download a book and listen to it. I listen to spanish lessons sometimes to and from work. Yea, it makes me want to be better. Audible reintroduced this whole world to me. It changes your perspective. It makes you a different person.

Hey, gio. Hey, amy. Michael, good morning. Listen, this driver is okay but this got us thinking. When should you wear a mask and when shouldnt you . This morning images of a dramatic crash in new jersey when a driver lost control and slammed her car into a pole. It turns out police say she was wearing an n95 mask. Thats the kind of heavy duty mask meant for medical professionals. Police say the driver was alone wearing the mask for several hours and ultimately passed out while operating the vehicle. This doctor specializes in infection prevention. When someone is driving around. Should they be wearing a mask about they are alone in the car . You know, if youre by yourself or youre driving your car alone you dont need to wear a mask. If you go to a Grocery Store and social distancing is difficult, thats the environment you should be wearing a mask. Reporter while police dont know for sure if it casted the crash, dr. Po saidt possible to passion out while wearing one. Their lungs and hearts are having to work harder. It is harder to breathe. Reporter if youre Walking Around your neighborhood should you be wearing a mask . I think it depends. Are you walking to go run errand, are you going to be running into a lot of people . Reporter nab brick masks she suggests can make it easier to breathe but dont wear ang because that could definitely increase the risk for some breathing issues and, you know, if you have lung or cardiac issues talk to yore mode cal provider before Wearing Masks heavily. Reporter police say she was wearing that mask, that driver, she was wearing the mask for several hours but doctors say you should only be wearing these for short periods of time, amy. Good to know. For people who wear eyeglasses, a lot of people have been complaining that when they put those masks on the glasses fog right up. Is there anything you can do to avoid that. Reporter yeah, i know the struggle, amy. I wear glasses quite a lot. Heres whats happening. Basically your breath is escaping from the top here of these masks, so what you want to do is make sure that its a snug fit and if you have one of these surgical ones, they usually have a piece of metal. Get that metal and mole it around your nose just to make sure that its a snug fit. If you dont have that metal maybe you could use a pipe cleaner or use medical or athletic tape, it around the nose, its just that breath getting out through the top. Good to know, gio. Thank you. Robin, over to you. Those are all some great suggestions, thank you, amy.

Were already seeing beaches and Small Businesses reopen in some states but we cant have a conversation about summer without mentioning summer camp, stomach 20 million children attend summer camps each year but this summer theres a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not those camps will happen.

Places can you go and maintain somewhat of a distance are going to be more favorite type activity, heading toat the.

Reporter for sandra, a single mom from chicago, whose 11yearold daughter is registered to attend two overnight camps, its a waiting game. Nothing is officially canceled. Shes registered for it at least but everything is on a wait and see mode and i think even if th decision independently of that whether im comfortable sending her. Reporter the American Camp association who have already started virtual camps ahead of summer tells abc news that they are monitoring cdc guidelines for camp safety. It depending on the guidance that the cdc puts forward as well as the rules and regulations for covid19 environment that state boards of health and local county Health Authorities promulgate. Reporter some worry osstate. Places like new york city have already closed pools for the Summer Season and are canceling over 1,000 summer camps run by the parks department, the fate of beaches remain unknown. You cant tell people in a dense urban environment all through the summer months, we dont have anything for you to do, stay in your apartment with the three kids. You know, that doesnt work. Theres a sanity equation here also. Reporter in the meantime, she is hoping the camp also go on. I still really want to go to summer camp. Reporter whether summer camps operate its going to be determined, robin, by a statebystate basis. Some i know are toying with condensing or shrinking the session times but theyre really leaning on the cdc for guidance.

Good housekeeping style director Lori Bergamotto joins us with more and, lori, well start with a modern take on a classic gift for mom. Were talking flowers. Thats right, amy. Who doesnt love getting flowers . Right . But things have changed a little bit during this quarantine and its not as easy to go run down to your local florist. The safest way to do this righ now is to turn to some of those online floral Delivery Services and one of the ones we love best is urban stems. The reason we love it so much is because its perfectly curated. So its comparable in price to a lot of other ones youve seen but the difference is you get this baked in design element. The arrangements are beautifully curated, beautifully designed. Youre going to want to make sure you order by may 8th at 2 00 p. M. Eastern in order to get it in time for mothers day. The arrangements start at 30 and they ship nationwide. Lori, the next gift is what we call picture perfect.

Procrastinators will also like this because you have until the morning of mothers day, may 10th, to order this and the way that it works, you sign up on the site. Its essentiallya subscription and it gets sent an email prompt gets sent to mom each week where she is sort of asked to think about her life and memories of you and being a mom and life before she was a mom and after a year of that, amy and michael, it gets put into a beautiful book and sort of helps mom write her memoir so its a gift to her, its a gift to all of you. It come this is a beautiful gorgeous bound book and its just basically a year of beautiful memories and thoughts. That is a great idea. And finally, every mom loves breakfast in bed.
