Deborah roberts, abc news, new york. Coming up in our next half hour, working from home forever. Facebook is now giving many of its workers the option to work from home permanently. But why some may have to accept a cut in pay. But first, the new advisory from the cdc saying that the Novel Coronavirus is not easily spread from surfaces, so can we ease up on the wipes . What our medical expert is telling this morning. You have the support of a, probiotic and the gastroenterologists who developed it. Align helps to soothe your occasional digestive upsets twentyfour seven. So where you go, the pro goes. Go with align. The pros in digestive health. And if stress worsens your digestive issues, try new align digestive destress. It combines aligns probiotic with ashwagandha to help soothe occasional digestive upsets, plus stress that can make them worse. And try align gummies with probiotics to help support digestive health. Welcome back. New guidelines from the cdc suggest the coronavirus is not as easily spread from surfaces as weve been led to believe. It comes amid a surge in cases in south america. I spoke earlier with dr. David eisenman. So much talk of a second wave. The cdc director is pointing to the current cooling temperatures in the Southern Hemisphere and the surge in cases in countries like brazil. What are the concerns here . Well, so cases are growing in south america and in brazil most of all, which is the most populous nation in south america. So its growing in their winter, which implies theres a seasonal component that grows more during the winter, which means if this is the case that it could come back even harder and hit us during our winter. Which is also our flu season and our cold season. So then were walking into a time when it is a double whammy, a onetwo punch, when you have coronavirus and influenza at the same time. And doctors as well as the population have to worry about which infection they have and all the cases coming into the hospital. Lets talk about that new advisory from the cdc now saying the coronavirus does not spread easily from surfaces. As you know, so many have been pretty vigilant during this pandemic, wiping down everything from cellphones to the items or packages that come into their homes. Is it okay to ease up . No. And this advisory, this change, confused me too. Theyre still saying that its possible to get covid19 from touching a surface that has it and then touching your own face, theyre just emphasizing that this is not the main way that the virus spreads. They havent changed the essential message. So i for one am not altering my habits, im still washing my hands after i handle packages, were wiping down shared surfaces with household disinfectant. I think if people find it comforting to quarantine their mail or wipe down Plastic Packaging with disinfectant, theres no harm in doing that. As we head into memorial day weekend, people will be looking to get out and about. Whats your overall recommendation about traveling this Holiday Weekend .

I will stay away, though, from any situation where i cant keep six feet apart between me and nonfamily members. I will wear a mask in a crowd or if im buying food from a vendor. And i really recommend that public remembers that you can have covid inside you, not have symptoms, and still infect others. That up to half of the spread is due to these asymptomatic spreading situations. So remember, my mask protects you, your mask protects me. Its showing respect and courtesy for your fellow american on this memorial day weekend to wear a mask. Our thanks to the doc there. We hope he has a great time going to the beach, going hiking with his family. Yeah, when you go out, essentially, be smart. Remember everything thats happened over the past few weeks when it comes to Wearing Masks and sanitizing your hands, washing your hands, all important things to remember. We can all play a role in stopping the spread. Six feet is not that far apart. No, its like bam, bam, bam, bam. You shouldnt be within six feet of someone at the beach, theres so much space. Hey, a brandnew mix coming up. Coming up. And looking to buy Life Insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. What are the three ps .

Reporter many anchorage residents say theyre worried about the annual influx of fishermen returning to the area who could potentially carry the virus. But businesses say theyre ready to welcome everyone back. I think we earned it, though. I do, i think businesses here earned that opportunity to open earlier, because we shut down well ahead of what other states saw in terms of the need to shut down. So thats been, i think, gratifying that weve been able to help our state keep those numbers low. With more americans venturing out, the cdc has updated its website to remind people this virus spreads easily between people.

Reporter President Trump left washington for the third time in three weeks to visit a state key to his reelection. This time michigan. He toured a ford plant thats now building ventilators. Maintaining social distance, but once again opting not to wear a mask, even as those around him did. Not necessary here. Everybodys been tested, and ive been tested. Reporter masks are required at the plant, and michigans attorney general had urged him to wear one. Todays events were extremely disappointing, and yet totally predictable. Reporter the president has never been seen in public with a mask on, but he revealed that he does have one. He said he wore it behind the scenes. Here is my mask right here. And i like it very much. Reporter his visit to michigan comes after he threatened to cut federal funds to the state because Election Officials there mailed voters applications for absentee ballots. The president falsely declared that was illegal. Michigans governor, who is dealing with not just the pandemic but also a massive 500year flood urged him to stop making threats. Threatening to take money away from a state that is hurting as bad as we are right now is just scary, and i think something that is unacceptable. Reporter still, the president ramped up his baseless charges about voting by mail, saying it should be reserved for sick people, for people with a reasonable excuse, and for himself. We dont want to have vote by mail, we want people to vote now if youre president of the united states, and if you vote in florida, and you cant be there, you should be able to send in a ballot. To vote, to really vote, and without fraud, you have to go and you have to vote at the polling place. Reporter theres no evidence of widespread fraud in voting by mail.
