Reporter hey, savannah, good morning to you some georgia businesses begin reopening today like nail and hair salons, bowling alleys, tattoo parlors with the governors green light President Trump again is slamming the states governor saying effectively hes jumping the gun, not following the white house guidelines that recommend a twoweek downward trend in cases before reopening the georgia governor saying his decisions are driven by data, guided by Public Health experts. On the other side, the state of illinois is now extending its stayathome order through the month of may also today medical experts are warning against President Trumps eyebrow raising suggestion that injecting disinfectants into the human body could help combat covid19. I see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, one minute is there a way we can do Something Like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Youre going to have to use medical doctors but sounds interesting to me. Overnight lysol responding in a statement saying, under no circumstance should the disinfectant products be administered in the human body the president also suggesting exposing the body to light and heat can help fight the virus. A scientist with department of Homeland Security saying preliminary research is finding that the virus fares worse in warmer and more humid climates but, again, says americans should continue following those social distancing guidelines finay, now showing from Antibody Testing that one in five new york residents may have already had the coronavirus, more than the number of confirmed cases suggests andrew cuomo, the states democratic governor saying that could mean as many 2. 7 million new yorkers already had the virus. It would also be significant because it would suggest the death rate is much lower than initially believed savannah. All right, peter, ill take that one thank you. Denmark started to reopen this week and sending younger students back to school was a major part of that strategy. Nbcs molly hunter in copenhagen, including what the future could look like in the United States. Denmark locked down early so they are in a position to open earlier than anyone else, weeks ahead of london, new york the government here says they are going cautiously, strategically, but the world is watching its a rare sight in the world today, kids just playing together. Hey, guys hi so are you happy to be back, excited . Denmark has reopened schools for students under the age of 12 after a month in lockdown. What did you miss the most . Did you miss your friends . Teacher. Teacher whats it like being back with all your friends . Great you can hear it they are having so much fun out there. Thats a sound we havent heard in a while. But it doesnt look the same. Recess and playtime with the same small group and new games. Of course they are playing tag but they cant actually touch each other. Its a kind of tag we invented on friday they have to tag each other on the shadow. Literally the shadow. I can touch your shadow here. In just a matter of days, schools built outdoor tents holding most classes outside. The parents seem happy, the children seem happy. The kids seem really happy. The kids seem really happy.

There was nervousness between parents. Again, a balance between weve got to do our work, they are really, really board. Bored denmarks minister of education says not only the littlest kids bored but Virtual Learning is much easier in the older grades everyone will get a level of concern when the children reenter the school what has been important to us is to say it doesnt matter if we open now or a months time or two months time. Denmark lockdown on march 11th when the only other country doing so was italy with hundreds of deaths and 12,000 infections. At the time denmark had around 500 known cases and no deaths. Now six weeks later denmark had some 8,000 known cases and fewer than 400 deaths. And because of fast action, denmark is now in a position to start unlocking. While they started with schools, hair salons, beauty parlors, even some parks, they are all reopening this week. Getting back to normal, even the youngest slowly, cautiously, put one step ahead of the rest of us now as parents everywhere know, its a lot easier to get back to work if youre not also home schooling a 5yearold while denmark may be a template for the rest of the world, countries that didnt act as quickly wont be able to replicate this exit strategy, at least not yet.

In new york city in just a month police say they have investigated 11 hate crimes against Asian Americans compared to three last year oca, a Nonprofit Group that tracks discrimination against Asian Americans said it received more than 1500 covid19 related hate incidents since january. We have seen everything from cashiers who will tell somebody im not going to serve you because i dont want to catch coronavirus. Weve also seen patients who have gone into Health Clinics who say i dont want you as nurse. I want somebody else to help me. Because the nurse was asianamerican. Exactly. Mid to late march President Trump called the coronavirus the chinese virus. The chinese virus, fight against chinese virus. Comes from china. Thats racist. Not racist. Went viral on social media.

Taxpayers who the kids were supposed to serve. This kind of behavior goes beyond the bounds of immoral. Its cruel, heinous, sociopathic even. Sociopathic, what . Selfinterest, unstable personality, parade of bad marriages. Frank. You need help, real medical help. Sick woman. Okay. Hugh, it looks so good. We cant wait to talk about the movie. How are you . Thank you. Im doing so good. Its so good to see you. I see you every morning but nice to actually talk to you. Good to see you. Where are you, by the way . What room are you in . Im in my office, i suppose you call it. Clearly an actor, i dont often come to the office. This is my home. Deb is over in the kitchen. Tell us a little about what quarantine life is like for you. Whats at this time like, a we morning. You probably know this. Im a meditator. We meditate, read together, walk the dogs, wake up the kids. Ava is doing school. So shes online doing school. My son is 19, and hes on like a gap year. So hes doing various things. Im cooking, were playing backgammon. Were up to 300 games this month. Im doing jigsaw puzzles. I was a little proud of my bread i made yesterday. I shouldnt be boasting but im going to boast. I dont know if you can see that, but come on. Come on. I made that. Come on. That is awesome. Literally the kids came to dinner and they are looking at me. They couldnt compute. They just presumed i got someone to do it for me. Hugh, you talked about your beautiful wife deb. You guys celebrated 24 years of marriage in quarantine. I was impressed by your post on insta, you broke this is 24 years are the best of my life. As far as i know we keep getting better. I love you, deb, with every fiber in my soul. How did you guys celebrate . I dont know why. Often were not together on our anniversary. Were together all the time but for some reason im filming. For us to be together, deb made a beautiful dinner and we sat with our two kids. Deb and i were being really romantic and we made speeches and the kids were rolling their eyes the whole time. They got a little bit of wine, so they were happy. Okay, yeah. When i read the post, i was so struck by one of the comments. It said it was by your friend Ryan Reynolds, and it said, hang in there, deb. That made me think your feud aint over. Whats the latest with that feud . Its not over. Look, were in extraordinary times. Deb actually said to me, look, rethink all that. Maybe its time to build a bridge. I wasnt ready for that but actually blake reached out. Blake and deb have been brokering this thing. We came up with the allin challenge. Were going to do a Lemonade Stand together. Whoever wins, were going to go thats how much i want to support the frontline workers and make sure people have food and all that sort of thing. Listen, weve been reaching out to blake. We talk to her, because can you imagine quarantine stuck in the house with ryan. It must be brutal for her. So were reaching out. So the feud isnt over. Ive got to get to bad education. This thing is getting rave reviews. Every review i read was like, wow, hugh jackman and alison janney, the two of you. The two of you in this movie, schools in long island, right in the middle of an embezzlement scandal. Its the first time you two had worked together, allison janney, i was struck by that purchase me, too. Were both from the theater, weve met several times. To work with her was a dream, the whole cast, her an romano and emily ashford. A great cast, director. I think the story was just incredible. So im really excited for people to see it. You pay this kind of super sleazy guy, doesnt seem like you at all. Must be hard to get into that character. I dont like to think of humans who are all good or all bad. As an actor, he made a mistake. I never forgot frank was beloved in the community. He was the number one and he dedicated his life. I was more ipperess. How does it come from charging a pizza and soda to the School Account to all of a sudden 12 million embezzlement. Thats what the story is about. We cant wait to watch it. You know who else cant wait to watch it . Savannah guthrie . Hi. Hello, gorgeous. Lovely to see you. I told hoda, im just going to crash. I love you guys. Hugh just called you gorgeous. He said he loved you. Im dying. I literally am dying. Can you laminate something just on television and engrave it. Youre the best. I love you. Youre the best. Tell deb hi. I will, savannah.

He just makes us feel better with his very presence, so hes back with another beautiful story. Hi, harry, good morning. Happy friday. Happy friday. No heavy assignment here you know, our hearts and our souls break a little bit every day for the last five or six weeks, and we kind of yearn for that sense of when can we get back to normal again the answer is not yet. As the virus spread, so, too, the news a friend is sick, or the parent of someone you know there are few or no degrees of separation we are in awe of the frontline daily undaunted, facing a disease that has no master and we are dumbfounded that these heroes off dont have the gear they need to stay safe. We work from home in too close proximity to those we love and wonder how long we can keep this up but we rejoice to learn the teenager about to graduate got accepted into college. Yet theres no prom and theres no parties, and there will be no pomp and circumstance either so we will hail the virtual valedictorian and promise to do something just as good as prom, but its not the same. The year end concert, the spring musical, the big games our children play. The june wedding, is it on or is it off the celebration will have to wait usually as the weather warms the grills light up and our back yards fill with friends happy to swat f maybe this summer. Maybe. Will we take a Family Vacation should we . Is it safe can we afford it when can we go see grandma grandma and grandpa give the best hugs. The family reunion, what about that we miss the faces of the folks we used to see every day at the place we got coffee or lunch or a Lottery Ticket we miss the nooks and crannies of the spaces we feel at home in maybe a bar or a restaurant or a bookstore, places we felt welcomed we miss the sound of busy streets, the sight of and the feel of crowds, the emergency of humans in a rush we miss our friends and colleagues, their laughs, even their irascibility paycheck, pre of providing for your family we miss going to work, even when work stinks, a paycheck, pride of providing for your family a ballpark or church on sunday, a show or concert or stroll through a museum we miss the community of knowing we are in the company of strangers who love the same thing we do. We zoom, we facetime, but the technology doesnt let us see the light in your face or the warmth of your touch we realize now its not toilet paper or Hand Sanitizer we should be stockpiling but patience its more valuable than all that stuff. D of the day, so the word of the day, patience, perseverance yeah you know what, youre right. We wri tanwe put them together, and honestly its a catharsis. Get out your handkerchief and lets move on. Harry smith. Every single time, harry. That was beautiful. Great to see you all. Thank you, harry. Thank you, harry. You, too, harry. We do have a lot more coming up we have the third and fourth hours coming up in just a bit. Craig, what do you have coming up hoda . No, s. G. , go ahead. I was just thinking about, since we had a moment, i was thinking about what harry said and all the things we missed i was so struck because i thought, even life beautiful, even the ordinary stuff. I think this way sometimes about grief, when you lose someone, and you miss them, because they are worth missing. Good morning. 7 56. Im marcus washington. Just in, were learning sombering news on the death toll in the United States with 50,000 people dying from covid19. Plus, a mobile testing unit making a stop in fremont for two days. The station at the hub on mowry avenue all day. Youll have to make an appointment first. Those results are available the same day. Youll now need a Face Covering if you go out in milpitas. Less than an hour ago, that requirement went into effect making milpitas the first Santa Clara County city to require Face Coverings. Were looking closer into what places are making Face Coverings mandatory for employees. Hell have a live report at midday. And caltrans is taking advantage of the shelter in place. Reconstruction is under way on the 101 interchange. Well have a live report at midday when caltrans expects to finish the project. And the strong warning this morning from Governor Newsom asking people to stay inside despite the good weather coming this weekend. He says the curve is flattening, but on wednesday, more than 100 people died from covid19. Were all doing our part by staying at home. That could mean an increase in energy bills. You can save by setting your heat to 68 or lower. Unplugging and turning off devices when not in use. Or just letting the sun light your home. Stay well and keep it golden. And good morning to you.
