Great to see all of you here. Its a little weird not to have my dogs with me broadcasting at my feet, but it is good to be back. Hey, robin. My dog is still here at my feet, george, but it is great to see you doing as well as you are. Welcome back. And take a look at this welcome back for an emergency room doctor who volunteered to come to new york and help out on the front lines. The physician just returned home. Elbow. Just returned home to california with his colleagues as you see, lined up at Mercy San Juan Medical Center in carmichael. Great sign to see people, doctors like that being able to go back home, george. Nice to be back home last night and be part of that 7 00 p. M. Tribute to all the Health Care Workers here in new york as well. The total number of cases here in the United States has passed 1. 3 million, the death toll approaching 80,000. At least 45 states have lifted some r re taking the first steps to reopen, get people back to work, but cases are still on the rise in 15 of those 45 states. Were going to begin this morning with those growing concerns about infections in the white house after at least two people in the west wing tested positive for the virus, including the Vice President s press secretary. Three of the nations Top Health Officials, including dr. Anthony fauci, are now selfquarantining. Our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega has the very latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter hey, michael. Good morning to you. As the administration tries to assure americans that it is safe to reopen parts of the country, it is now dealing with its spread, its own spread of the virus right on the white house grounds. And now officials are facing this question, if not even the white house is fully safe, how can americans feel secure about returning to work . After two people in the west wing tested positive this morning the white house is looking to ramp up social distancing measures including having more aides and secret Service Agents wear masks and space six feet apart during meetings. Among those who tested positive, the Vice President s press secretary. His office saying in a statement he will be at the white house today and that he has tested negative every single day. It is the latest sign that not even one of the most secure compounds in the world is safe from the virus spread. The nations top coronavirus experts now forced to selfquarantine after coming into contact with an infected white house staffer, including dr. Anthony fauci who is in what he calls a modified quarantine, working from home, but still possibly traveling in for meetings. Cdc director Robert Redfield and fda commissioner stephen hahn also in quarantine for 14 days. All three officials expected to testify tomorrow before the Senates Health committee. That will now happen over Video Conference instead. Even the committee chairman, tennessee senator Lamar Alexander announcing overnight he too is in selfquarantine after a staffer tested positive. He says he will run the hearing remotely. Still, some Administration Officials insist the white house remains safe. I can tell you this is probably the safest place that you can come to. Reporter but others like the president s senior economic adviser say they are scared. It is scary to go to work. Its a small, crowded place. You know, its a little bit risky, but you have to do it because you have to serve your country. Reporter even after his own valet, part of the team who serves his meals, tested positive last week, President Trump said hes not worried. Well, im not worried, no. Im not worried. Reporter his focus, on reopening the country, even as cases continue to climb in some areas. 45 states now rolling back restrictions. The latest, kentucky, where a federal judge cleared the way for sunday Church Services as long as social distancing rules were followed. In colorad shop defying state orders, and in Northern California the cottonwood rodeo bucking guidelines to throw a mothers day event. Given those two positive cases at the white house, there have been questions about whether the president and the Vice President should be kept separated in the event that either one contracts the virus. At this point senior Administration Officials say there are no plans to do that. And President Trump has said he didnt think it was necessary since, george, both are repeatedly tested and they have both tested negative. Every day, okay, cecilia, thanks very much. Lets bring in dr. Jen ashton, our chief medical correspondent, for more on this. So you have two cases in the white house. Tests every single day. Should they be worried about a broader outbreak . Well, george, i think everyone should be concerned. Its normal to have a certain amount of fear and anxiety, concern, apprehension. I mean were in the middle of a pandemic in unchartered territory. And i think what this shows us is can h to xample that truly no anyone. And that is the thing. The white house presumably the safest place in the country, tests every day, temperature checks for everyone coming into proximity with the president. Yet the virus still gets inside those walls. One of the disconcerting things, at least to me over the weekend, was seeing the Top Health Officials all quarantined, but not more white house officials quarantined. So what should people know about what kind of precautions should be taken right now . Well, i think you have to look at it on a spectrum, george. Remember, theres general precautions, recommendations, and guidelines issued by the cdc which is for the general public, the american population, but like any health or medical recommendation, they are really designed also to be individualized. So you have to look at the minimum that can be done and then whether its appropriate to take extra or maximum steps given the location and personnel that is trying to be protected here. And so that will represent a whole spectrum. But again, Wearing Masks to protect others, keeping at least six feet of distance in the workplace which, granted, is not always an easy thing to do, thats at the minimum and then surveillance, extra screening would be on the higher end of the spectrum. Dr. Jen ashton, thanks very much. Robin . All right, george, thank you. Now to that urgent warning about children and covid19. Evidence mounting that the virus is linked to a dangerous condition that has taken the lives of at least three new york children. Stephanie ramos has more at Lenox Hill Hospital there in manhattan. Good morning, stephanie. Reporter robin, good morning. Doctors say this rare inflammatory syndrome is affecting toddlers to Elementary School aged kids weeks after theyve been exposed to the coronavirus. With so many more cases, the department of health here in new york is now working with the cdc to develop a National Criteria to better identify this illness. This morning, an urgent warning for parents as cases of a Mysterious Illness possibly linked to coronavirus affect more children across the u. S. In new york, Governor Andrew Cuomo announcing that the state department of health is now investigating 85 cases of pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome. This is every parents nightmare. Reporter the illness, though rare, blamed for the death of at least three children. Possible cases now reported in at least ten states and washington d. C. 13yearold Anthony Lawson now fighting for his life in Washington State after what started as allergylike symptoms took a dangerous turn. He was complaining that he wa zzy. He had a headache. You know, somethings just not right. Reporter after arriving at the hospital, his condition worsened drastically. Theresa lawson telling abc her son tested negative for coronavirus but positive for covid19 antibodies. Doctors like the university of chicagos melissa tesher say this is part of a growing trend. Shes seen it firsthand with three young patients shes treating. We seem to be seeing this in the later stages after the children have been exposed to a known infection. Reporter now, young survivors are sharing their stories. 14yearold Jack Mcmorrow of new york is recovering from the illness. I had a swollen lymph node on my right side and i got a headache and it just started going downhill from there. Reporter Health Officials now warning people not to let their guards down, saying at least five covid19 cases are linked to a pasadena party in april where one attendee kept coughing and didnt wear a mask. Here in new york city the mayor says all children with symptoms of the illness will be tested for covid19 antibodies, and doctors say they want to remind parents to be on the lookout for those symptoms. That is the best way to detect this early. Michael . Always keep your eyes open. Thank you for that, stephanie. Turning now to the latest on the pandemic abroad. Around the world there are more than 4 million covid19 cases and now some european nations are trying to get back to normal. In france, people are going back to work and some students are getting ready to go back to school. Maggie rulli joins us from paris with more. Good morning, maggie. Reporter hey, michael. Good morning. We were in paris this morning. As the city woke up to their new reality, we saw fresh baguettes going out for delivery extra early as now some people are heading back to work. Hair dressers reopening and they tell us theyre booked out for weeks and perhaps the biggest milestone today, people are here able to now leave their homes for the first time in 55 days without a permission slip. But even as paris slowly starts to open back up, were now seeing new cases pop up in other countries. In brazil, rates of up to more than 10,000 infections are reported leading many to fear that country could become the next global epicenter. And in south korea, a country that initially flattened the curve very quickly, theyre now seeing dozens of new cases all linked to one man who went to five different nightclubs. And in wuhan, china, the for tht time in a , theyre of thats why here in paris people say theyre excited to get back out here, but theyre also cautiously optimistic because they know this is not over yet. George . They have to be careful. Maggie, thanks very much. We turn to that alarming photo shared by a doctor on a crosscountry flight. It shows a packed plane including Health Care Workers flying back to San Francisco after volunteering in new york. Gio benitez brings us the details from newark airport. Good morning, gio. Reporter hey, george. Good morning. Yeah, that doctor was praising united for flying volunteers for free. But he says once he got on that plane, they were shocked. This doctors tweet going viral after boarding a united flight from newark to San Francisco that was 85 full saturday afternoon. Dr. Ethan weiss posting this tweet, i guess united is relaxing their social distancing policy nowadays. Sarah nelson heads up the largest flight attendants union. What did you think when you saw that photo . The first thing i thought is that d. O. T. Needs to take action here. This really has to be directed from the government. Reporter united says there were 22 empty seats on the plane, that most flights are less than 50 full, and that it is limiting advanced seat selection but cannot guarantee that all customers will be seated next to an unoccupied seat. And on friday tsa screened the most passengers since late march. So starting today all u. S. Airlines require passengers to wear a face mask. Robin . Everybody needs to keep that in mind. Gio, thank you so much. Now to the new developments in the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, that young unarmed black man in georgia. The states attorney general is now asking the Justice Department to investigate the handling of the case as authorities review newly obtained Surveillance Video that appears to show him in the moments before the shooting. Steve osunsami has the latest. He joins us this morning from atlanta. Good morning, steve. Reporter good morning to you, robin. This states attorney general is asking, of course, the u. S. Justice department, as you said, to look into this case, but in particular, to look into the actions of the two prosecutors who did not issue charges in this case and who removed themselves from this investigation because of their connections to the two accused murderers, one of them a former police officer. State investigators who have taken over this case from county authorities are this morning looking at new videos that appear to show Ahmaud Arbery in the moments before he was shot and killed by Travis Mcmichael and his father gregory who spent a career in Law Enforcement working for local prosecutors. The two are charged with murder last week, nearly two and a half months after this killing was recorded on a cell phone in february. They say they were trying to make a citizens arrest when they say this young black man fought them. According to police, the mcmichaels told police they thought that arbery looked like someone who was seen breaking into neighborhood homes, but this morning those same police share that there were no reports of burglaries or thefts in that area in the two months before arbery was killed. This Surveillance Video obtained by our atlanta affiliate wsb will certainly be part of the debate. It was recorded shortly before arbery was killed, and shows a man walking into an open Home Construction site and looking around. Arberys family attorneys say they believe the second video obtained by abc news does show the 25yearold former Football Player in that home under construction, but they underline that he wasnt breaking the law and left empty handed. Theyre trying to make out and try to justify for what they did. They cant do it. Reporter in a statement overnight, the owners of that home under construction make it very clear they had nothing to do with the young mans death and say that they want Ahmaud Arberys parents to know that they are very sorry for the loss of their son and they are praying for them. The family says they have no relationship with the mcmichaels and would have never wanted what they call a vigilante response. The family that owns that home where that home was being built, the construction site, says that when they looked at the video they werent even sure that it was arbery. Arbery was seen out jogging that day. It is a mostly white neighborhood, and authorities tell us that the only Police Report that they have in the area from around the shooting was a gun theft from a car, and that that home where that happened was the home of Travis Mcmichael, one of the two men accused of murder. Michael . Oh boy. Okay, steve, thank you so much for that. And this morning we are celebrating the life of beloved actor Jerry Stiller who passed away overnight. The comedian was one half of the comedy duo stiller and meara and his wife anne meara, they were married for more than 60 years. They appeared together on the ed sullivan show.

We begin with an abc news exclusive interview with the president of clorox. As the demand spiked up 500 for disinfectants, the company is running plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Were joined by linda rendle, president of the clorox company. Thank you for joining us. As you know, clorox products, particularly wipes, are in short supply. What are you seeing as far as supply goes or demand goes . Good morning, michael. Before i get started, i would love to thank everybody, all the caregivers and essential workers that are working so hard to keep our Community Safe and our hearts go out to everybody whos been affected by covid19. It is true, wipes are in short supply right now, but the good news is were delivering wipes to stores every single day. Unfortunately, theyre being snagged just about as soon as they hit shelves, many times within minutes. Weve seen unprecedented spike in demand for wipes, up 500 versus a year ago, but were working with everything feasible in our power to get as many disinfecting products to people as quickly as we can. Your workers are working nonstop to make sure we have enough of these wipes. But are people stockpiling or is this a case of just new demand for your products . Why is there a shortage . We have seen so many people buy wipes that havent bought them in the past. So most of this is new users and everybody wants products on hand so that they can disinfect and keep themselves safe during this time. We have seen some people stockpile and we would encourage all of those people who have a little too much at home to help share with everyone else so we all have the disinfecting products that we need. Heres the big question. When can you walk into a store and theyre there and you can buy them whenever you need them . I know thats the question on everybodys mind. We will expect improvement come this summer. It will all depend on the demand but we are doing everything in our power to ensure that we get products to store and that includes running our cleaning plants 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We began that in january. Were contracting with Third Party Suppliers who are helping make product for us, as well as ensuring that we are prioritizing making products that disinfect in our cleaning lineup and thats going to help us get into a better position in the summer. And because of the big demand weve seen price gouging happening. What are you guys doing to help fight that . We have absolutely zero tolerance for price gouging. Everyone should be able to get the disinfecting products they need at standard prices. Weve partnered with state and federal authorities to ensure that were stopping the third parties from price gouging online, and the good news is we have seen improvement but were continuing to monitor daily to ensure that we do not see that continued activity. And what are you guys doing to make sure theres demand in the fall and even next year, especially if there is a second wave of the coronavirus . Yes, michael, we dont know exactly what the future holds for covid19, but our team is doing everything we can to be ready, and it really comes down to ensuring that we can continue to run our operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and thats about keeping our team, the incredible people who are manufacturing our products on the front line today, healthy and well. We are doing that by ensuring that we enhance the safety protocols in our manufacturing facilities. Weve implemented temperature scanning, face coverings, practicing distancing. Weve also enhanced benefits and pay for those workers to ensure that theyre able to deliver as many products as possible so were ready for whatever the future holds. We know you guys are also doing a lot for the front line workers in health care. So what have you been doing . I know youve been making bigger drums of disinfectant and all those things for the hospitals. Yes. So weve prioritized the care of caregivers in our communities during this time, and with that weve been able to donate 14 million in cash and product to help through organizations like the cdc foundation, the american red cross, and direct relief. In direct relief we were able to get essential products like masks, over 2 million masks, to hospitals in need over the last couple of months, and we did create a special drum. Its 55 gallons of clorox bleach that we have donated to some of the Largest Health care facilities in the country, and that allows each one of those hospitals to clean up to 14,000 rooms so that they can keep their employees and their patients safe. Ms. Rendle, we want to thank you and we want to thanks clo rocks for their work and all your workers working 24 7 to make sure we have the supplies that we need. Thank you so much. Thank you. We turn now to shanghai disneyland. It is starting to reopen this morning, just the first phase, a careful first phase, with visitors required to wear masks, submit temperature screenings and social distancing. Will reeve joins us for what this could mean for parks here in the u. S. Good morning, will. Reporter good morning, george. Careful is the operative word here.

We have cast members throughout the park that are continuously wiping down and making sure that everything is disinfected and sanitized. Reporter along with increased cleaning, the park limiting total attendance to 30 capacity. Temperature screenings and face coverings required for all guests entering the park, and social distancing enforced at all times.

The Walt Disney Company saying in a press release, quote, a limited number of shopping and dining experiences that are owned by thirdparty operating participants will begin to open during this initial phase.

The disney family singalong volume 2 was packed with stars from keke palmer to katy perry. Were taking you behind the scenes as we say good morning, america. Nothing like a good singalong. Weve surpris allstar do robin. We certainly do. She is a big Lionel Richie fan, so we sent t. J. And our team to figure out how to pull off one big surprise, and lets just say we left her dancing on the ceiling, george. They do know how to do it. That is coming up, robin. First the latest on this covid19 crisis. There are now more than 1. 3 million cases here in the United States. At least 45 states have lifted some restrictions, taking the first steps to reopen, get people back to work. Were going to begin with those growing concerns about infections in the white house after at least two people in the west wing tested positive for the virus, including the Vice President s press secretary. Were going to go back to our senior White House Correspondent cecilia vega. Good morning, cecelia. Reporter good morning, george. Because of those positive tests on the white house grounds there, dr. Anthony fauci and other Top Health Officials are having to selfquarantine. They were scheduled to testify before the Senate Health commite , eo conference instead. Morning the white house is looking to ramp up social etings. Ing measures including among those who tested positive, the Vice President s press secretary. His office saying in a statement he will be at the white house today and that he has tested negative every single day. It is the latest sign that not even one of the most secure compounds in the world is safe from the virus spread. The nations top coronavirus experts now forced to selfquarantine after coming into contact with an infected white house staffer, including dr. Anthony fauci who is in what he calls a modified quarantine working from home but still possibly traveling in for meetings. Cdc director Robert Redfield and fda commissioner stephen hahn also in quarantine for 14 days. Still, some Administration Officials insist the white house remains safe. I can tell you this is probably the safest place that you can come to. Reporter but others like the president s senior economic adviser say they are scared. It is scary to go to work. You know, its a small, crowded place. You know, its a little bit risky. Reporter and in another sign of just how close to home this virus is now hitting washington, tennessee senator lamar selfquarantine after a staffer tested positive, and his office says hes fine and has tested negative, but he will run Tomorrows Health Committee Meeting with dr. Fauci and other officials via Video Conference from home, robin. A sign of the times down here. Certainly is, thank you. Now to more details on the Mysterious Illness affecting children with links to covid. 85 cases are being investigated in new york alone with more popping up across the country. Dr. Jen ashton is back to help us break it down. We saw Governor Cuomo talking in a press conference about the new York Health Department investigating these cases. Can you shed more light into that . Well, were still in the collecting and observing stage, robin. We have to remember, this virus is about five months old, so right now its about making observation, connecting the dots, reviewing the Clinical Data on these cases thus far and trying to figure out what exactly the connection or association is. Are the symptoms similar between this rare disease and covid19 . Well, when you look at kawasaki disease which is the most similar of this hyper inflammatory shock by the way, we dont know what causes kawasaki disease. Then you look at the common symptoms of covid19, you can see that really the biggest overlap in the acute setting is with fever, but we have to remember were still learning about the signs and symptoms of covid19. They may present differently in children. Theres a saying in pediatrics, kids are not little adults. So again, we cant just have tunnel vision for only covid19. We have to look for similarities, differences, and remember that this is a unique age group and a different population. We need to keep all of that in mind. But you know parents are going to be very concerned hearing about this. So when should they reach out to their pediatricians . I always say always, robin. Try not to be a doctor or a nurse to your own children, and if your child clearly has any of these concerning signs or symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a change in the coloring around their lips or nail beds or chest pain, obviously you want to be in touch with your childs pediatrician. Better to be safe than sorry, and everyone is on the lookout for this so youre never bothering someone. Thats what they need to keep in mind. You cannot bother a pediatrician. You cant bother a doctor at all, especially during times like this. Okay, jen, no worries there. Thank you so much. Michael . Thank you, robin. Now to our gma cover story, that deadly shark attack in california. A 26yearold man killed while surfing even as officials limit beach access to keep crowds down during the pandemic. Matt gutman joins us with more from los angeles. Good morning, matt. Reporter hey, good morning, michael. Now its believed that a juvenile great white shark likely killed that surfer who bled out from a leg woun that beach just about an hour south of San Francisco. Now, that was saturday. A day earlier a local shark expert took these images, great whites prowling the shallows. Now, that 26yearold, ben kelly, he wasnt just a surfer, he operated a shop hand crafting surf boards in the area. Sharks often harmlessly share the same waters as humans. Ive seen it firsthand with shark researchers right off the Southern California coast, but this morning in Northern California the Sheriffs Department not taking chances, putting up these warning signs and prohibiting swimming within a mile of the attack. Researchers tell me these shark attacks are extremely rare. Sharks only killed two people in the u. S. Last year. They also say this had nothing to do with covid. Sharks apparently were attracted to these waters because theyre warmer. Michael . All right, matt. Makes sense. Thank you so much. Robin . All right, michael, thank you.

Great job with pop news as always. We are turning now to Chrissy Teigen taking a little break from social media and making her famously funny twitter account private. This all after being criticized by cookbook author alison roman whose comments immediately received backlash. Kaley hartung joins us from los angeles with more. Hey, kaylee. I watched this thing play out myself. Reporter hey, michael. I bet you did. Chrissy is among the highest paid models in the world and shes really built an empire with her brand, cravings. Yet alison roman who is a star in the food world says shes horrified by chrissys business model. This opened up a boiling conversation about how women support each others accomplishments. Welcome to our kitchen. Its me, chrissy. Reporter Chrissy Teigen, the model turned chef, has popular cookbooks, tv shows, even a line at target. Now her recipe for success is under attack by another star in the food world. Im not mellow at all, actually. Reporter cookbook author and New York Times food columnist alison roman whose recipes, the stew and the cookies, have been viral sensations, coming for teigens success. What Chrissy Teigen has done is so crazy to me. She has an Instagram Page with over a million followers where its like people running a content farm for her. That horrifies me and its not something i ever want to do. The comments part of an interview with consumer magazine where roman also reveals her own effort to start a product line and that she sold a tv show too, a show teigen says she was helping to produce. This is an argument thats been happening in the food world around privilege and around whose voices are heard. Reporter the backlash to romans criticism swift. Chef Sunny Anderson on instagram summing up what so many felt online, saying, let me know if you need me to side eye privileged cookbook authors. Acting like the way they make their pennies is better than the way you make your dollars. Teigen tweeting her disappointment. I dont think ive ever been so bummed out by the words of a fellow food lover, writing her popular cravings isnt a machine or content. Its me and two other women, and i didnt sell out by making my dreams come true. Adding shes long been a fan of romans. Roman eventually apologizing online saying in part, im genuinely sorry i caused you pain for what i said. It was flippant, careless and im so sorry. There are so many white women who have been successful in the lifestyle sphere. Hopefully we see more women vocally supporting other women and writers of color in the food world. Reporter Allison Roman also addressed that apology to marie kondo. She attacked the organizational guru in the interview as well, calling her a sellout for trying to capitalize on her fame with retail products. Michael . You shouldnt have to apologies for your success. I guess there are just too many cooks in the kitchen, kaylee. Now were going to go to ginger at home. Hey, ginger. Reporter hey there, michael. Lets look at a little snowman thats having a hard time in pennsylvania. Yeah, its spring, so even when we get that snow, its not going to last long, especially as we go toward the end of this week.

He was there for whatever he needed. He was there to take care of him. When my father got killed, he became like a father figure to me. I had to have him next to me everywhere i went. Some drama coming up next week. Joining us now, Bill Wennington, the former bulls center, now does radio commentary for the bulls. Bill, thanks for join ing us this morning. You were part of the bulls for those last three championships. Tell us what it was like. George, it was phenomenal. Obviously when you can reach the pinnacle of the thing that you do and in my case basketball obviously, and get to the top and win a championship, its absolutely amazing. Being part of that team was so very special to all of us because the guys on that team were great guys, a great team to be a part of. You knew Michael Jordan way back when, way back in college. Give us some insight into what he was like before he was the most legendary basketball in the world. We met back as mcdonald allamericans in 1981 and he was competitive back then. I remember riding on the bus to the game in wichita, kansas and he was busting on everyone. We were going to st. Johns and talking about whose school was going to be better and who was going to win championships. You could tell back then how competitive he was and how good he wanted to be and was going to push himself to be that good. Push himself and push his teammates as well. You tell a story about being in practice with him blocking a shot. George, hes one of the most competitive guys that ive met. One day early in practice we were doing a three on two, two on one drill transitioning up and down the floor. I had blocked his shot in the drill. That was early in practice. The rest of the practice he made sure he shot the ball over me and challenged me to be a better player, would literally dribble through everybody else on the floor. Come over to me, and im isolated in the corner, and on the other side of the floor, jump into me, hit me and say, block that. It was on for the rest of the practice. That was kind of the way it played out. That is one way to get you inspired right there. One of the things were all learning from this documentary or being reminded of in this documentary is what a media circus it was surrounding Michael Jordan and your whole team back then. It really was amazing. You get to places, wed be playing the New York Knicks and staying at the plaza on 5th avenue by central park and that whole area in front of the hotel, the little square with the fountain in it, would be packed with people. We would be coming out and there would be thousands of people out there just to watch us walk 30 steps from the hotel front door to get on the bus. It was absolutely amazing to see e pele and see michael, just to watch him walk on a bus for five seconds. And its great for all of us to relive it again, see it again.

Tell me this, what are your days like these days. An emotional roller coaster. Some of these patients are so vulnerable. The minute i told them they were positive, even though some of these patients had mild symptoms, they thought it was an automatic death sentence. I just feel like this could be me in an instant. This could be my loved one thats sitting there. Reporter one of dr. Douges patients, maria seguerra, 82 years old and with a slew of underlying conditions. There were some doctors who were very helpful but there were others who said, well, theres nothing that we can do. Reporter seguerras granddaughter tells us just when the family thought all was lost, they met dr. Douge who refused to give up. She said were going to find out whats going on here. I told the family, i told the patient that we are going to do everything and Anything Possible to help her recover. I was determined she was going to be a success story. She dug and dug and she found the reason, and she treated it. She gave that extra that made the difference in our case. God uses people as instruments to carry out his work, and i believe that dr. Douge was that instrument that god put on earth to help my grandmother get through this and help her come back to us. Reporter for going above and beyond, we couldnt wait to give dr. Douge a little treat. Its funny now because all the things were talking about and my producers were getting me sad and saying she does this and works these hours, telling me all this stuff about this pandemic but, oh yeah, by the way, shes like a rabid Lionel Richie fan. All night long, all night, all night how cool would that be. This sounds cheesy and its like a dad joke i guess but wouldnt it be cool if he could say hello right now.

Oh, my god. Thank you so much. Reporter she was so fantastic. Robin, get this, she says she admits they try to tell them to limit the time youre with your patients. She admits she stays in there sometimes longer than she should because shes trying to comfort them because they cant have family around. This is a great treat to be able to give her and i talked to her this morning. Things are better at the hospital. They used to be every inch Covid Patients. She said theyre able to open some other areas for different patients. Its good to be able to report that, yes, people on the front lines are saying things are Getting Better in their hospitals.

Thank you for joining us, man. Good morning, michael. Thank you so much for having me. Of course. How are you and the Family Holding up during quarantine . What are you doing . You know, michael, were doing fine. You know, i just feel so blessed that were all healthy, were all together, and you know, weve had some good quality bonding time during this. Its been unique. I didnt know retirement i was going to go straight into teaching so we got a big day ahead of us. We got parallelograms, a rhombus involved, some trapezoids, the industrial revolution. We got to talk about that a little bit. I got my math down, i got my fractions. I had to refresh the mind on that a little bit, but overall it is going well. Were having some fun also, some bike rides and Different Things like that. But i cant complain. We are healthy and doing well. Great family time for sure. Lets talk about tonight. You do a lot of work with Robin Hood Foundation. Why is that so important to you . Well, i think for me its just these are the people who, they cheered for me, they supported me for my 16 years as a giant. They wore my jersey, they wore your jersey, and they just you know, during the great times they were there. I remember going through the canyon of heroes after you win a championship and you see 3 million new yorkers cheering you on, and then also during the tough times, during the losses, you know, they had my back and support me. Now these people need our support. They need our help. Theyre going through a tough time. Theres 2 million new yorkers that are going hungry right now. Theres 750,000 kids that have lost access to meals because theres no more schools. Parents are skipping meals to try to feed their kids. So they need our help and no one knows how to help them better than robin hood. Theyve been doing this for 30 years. They know how to get access to these people that need our help that have been affected by this pandemic, and so to jump on with them for this telethon to raise awareness, raise funds, for you and i to start our own gofundme page to get some teammates, this is important to help these people to show a thank you for supporting me, and also knowing theyre in need, and its my job to support them during this time.

You and i along with phil simms and justin tuck are going to play touch football with the winner. On top of that, its going to be commentated by the legendary bob costas and mike tirico.
