As some of these States Reopen religious gatherings are emerging as hot spots with hundreds of ink infections linked to Church Services. Tom llamas is outside a church here in manhattan with more on this side of the story. Good morning, tom. Reporter cecilia, good morning to you. Church services have resumed here in new york city but with limited capacity and when parishioners come here theyll see the new rules, wear a mask, make sure to use Hand Sanitizer and social distance. But across the country pastors are making a tough decision to keep their churches closed. Theyre saying its too dangerous to praise in person. This morning, worship whiplash. Some churches that reopened now closing amid new covid19 spikes. The New York Times reporting more than 650 coronavirus cases have been linked to nearly 40 churches and religious events across the country. Many over the last month. Pastor derek allen of mobile, alabama stopping inperson services earlier this month. He says as the number of covid cases in his church started rising even though the state didnt mandate it. I do know that people really, really suffer with this particular disease. And so watching our people suffer and knowing that if we have an inperson service that it was likely to spread, even further in our congregation, thats why we decided to go back online. Reporter outbreaks linked to churches have happened in several states. Recently in oregon, texas, West Virginia and tennessee. In june, florida teen carsyn davis attended a church function with 100 other kids. According to the medical examiner, the 17yearold who had preexisting conditions didnt wear a mask or social distance. Three days later she started to feel symptoms. Ten days after that. She died. And back in march, just north of seattle, more than 50 members of a Community Choir became infected with covid19 after rehearsal. Two of the members died. The cdc calling that event a superspreader. Finding that just one asymptomatic person infected 52 others. Having had two friends that i sing with that died because of this it is not worth it. It is not worth it. Reporter Health Experts worry even with social distancing, in closed spaces singing and sermons can spread the virus through the air. Churches are particularly concerning because you have a lot of people singing loudly in choirs. As a result, you have a lot of particles spreading getting on other people and, hence, increasing their chances of getting the coronavirus. Reporter now as an alternative many churches have opted to Stream Services on youtube and facebook. Its nowhere near the same experience as gathering and fellowship, but many pastors feel its the safest thing to do right now. Very well might be, tom. Thank you. Dr. Ashish jha, director of the Harvard GlobalHealth Institute is joining us now. Doctor, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. We heard there in toms piece some of these churches, places of worship are considered superspreader sites. As we head into the weekend, what do you want people to know if theyre going to go to church and should they be going . Yes, good morning and thank you for having me on. What we know is that any indoor gathering of a large number of people is risky, especially if youre in a hot spot and obviously in places where theres singing or chanting or other things where those can really spread the virus. So i think if youre in most parts of the country right now, large gatherings indoors, including Church Services and other religious services is really risky. And i understand its deeply meaningful for many of us, but i think we have to be very careful right now and try to avoid it if possible. We have this warning also this morning from dr. Fauci talking about states with severe outbreaks, saying perhaps states should consider hitting the pause button. Im wondering if once the cat is out of the bag, can we really do that now . Can we put the pause button on some of these states . I think dr. Fauci is trying his best to be very diplomatic. In some places i think things are getting so bad or are so bad they may need to go back to a shelter in place order. I look at arizona, the 50 restaurant occupancy. Thats way too little too late at this point. I think the cat is out of bag in many ways, and states have to ratchet back what kind of reopening theyve done. Were seeing around the country these long lines. People waiting in blistering heat to get tested. Sometimes the results of these tests are taking a week plus to get back to people. Is our testing system collapsing right now . Yeah, you know, cecilia, this is something a lot have been talking about for months and saying we really need a far more robust testing infrastructure. Dr. Fauci has said that. All of us in the Public Health world have been saying that. Unfortunately, our political leaders have not invested in that and now were seeing substantial strains and in some places it really is starting to collapse and that is going to be thats going to make fighting the virus much harder. What were hearing from people on the front lines is a shortage of ppes, icu bed shortages, and it sounds like what we heard back in march. Can we handle the surge were facing . Yeah, you know, its one thing when it happened in march when you could argue we were unprepared. We didnt know it would be this bad. For this to happen in july in states like texas and arizona and florida, in my mind its just unconscionable. We have to protect our Health Care Workers and i cant believe were going through this again. But we do need to continue to push on ramping up, otherwise, it will be very difficult for the frontline workers to take care of people. Dr. Jha, i want to ask this. You have Health Experts like dr. Fauci saying, pause. You have political leaders like the president saying go. Who should people be listening to . You know, this is a Public Health crisis. This is a medical crisis and when you are sick or have a medical problem you want to listen to your doctor and not your politician. And to me this is pretty clear who people need to be listening to. Experts like dr. Fauci, dr. Birx, leaders in the cdc, those are the people who need to be heard right now, not our political leaders. Dr. Jha as always, we appreciate your voice. Thank you. T. J. We need to turn to Tropical Storm fay now. Its closing in on the east coast with winds hitting 50 miles an hour and our rob marciano tracking this tropical threat for us. Good morning to you, rob. Hey, good morning, t. J. Already on to the name of fay as we get into not even the middle really of july. Heres a look at what its doing right now. Ocean city, new jersey, ocean city, maryland, also getting waves and wind and this will be increasing throughout the day and asbury park, a typical spot we see storms coming in you see the waves acting up as well. The center, 50 miles southeast of ocean city, maryland with 50mileperhour winds and now we have Tropical Storm warnings that are posted for the jersey coastline, long island and all the connecticut coastline and already have flash flood warnings for parts of delaware. Heres the forecast track. Line not that important. We dont expect a whole lot of strengthening with this. It will be windy and some coastal flooding and certainly going to be rain later on this afternoon, tonight and into tomorrow morning and some of that rain is going to create some flooding. Well talk about that in just a few minutes. George . Rough weekend ahead here. Okay, rob, thank you very much. To the white house now where the president is facing his worst marks yet for handling the coronavirus emergency. Our new abc news ipsos poll shows 67 of americans disapprove of how hes handling the crisis. Lets bring in our chief white house correspondent, jon karl. Jon, the same number disapprove of how the president is handling race relations. Reporter george, these are staggeringly bad numbers for the president especially when you consider that these are the two biggest crises of his presidency, and there you have twothirds of the public disapproving of how he is handling them. If you look further into the poll, it gets worse for the president. Of course, the majority, the vast majority of democrats disapprove but look at independents. A whopping 73 of independents in this poll disapprove of how the president is handling the covid19 crisis. Hes even losing support among republicans, 22 disapproving, and on race relations, the disapproval extends all racial groups, 57 of whites disapproving. 92 of blacks disapproving and 83 of hispanics disapproving of his handling of race relations. Meantime, we had major rulings from the Supreme Court yesterday on the president s financial records and tax returns finding that he doesnt have absolute immunity from grand jury proceedings but that doesnt mean well see the tax returns any time soon. Reporter on one hand it was a total defeat for the president , 90 on the question of whether or not the president has absolute immunity as the president argued, so he doesnt have that, but make no mistake, these tax returns are going to be secret for some time. The grand jury in new york can get them but, of course, grand jury proceedings are secret. I dont expect well see those tax returns for a long time. The president also laying out some strong hints hes prepared to pardon or commute the sentence of his former associate roger stone. Reporter he sure did on an interview with sean hannity last night, clearly implying this was something he is considering. This would put him at odds, by the way, with his own attorney general, bill barr, who said he thinks stones sentence was appropriate. The sentence was 40 months for lying to congress, misleading investigators, but the president seems to be inclined to at least commute that sentence. We will see. Jon karl, thanks very much. T. J. . We shift to the return of sports. The final nba team arriving in orlando to enter that socalled basketball bubble as they prepare to restart the season but the covid outbreak created some setbacks. Will reeve in florida with more for us. Will, good morning to you. Reporter good morning, t. J. With the final teams arriving on site in this nonweatherproof bubble, it is in full effect and as weve reported, players and staff must selfisolate for 48 hours when they arrive and then need to get two negative coronavirus tests 24 hours apart before they can begin practicing. Some teams have started their practices already and weve been getting glimpses inside the bubble from the players themselves on social media. A lot of video game setups in their rooms. Those talked about playersonly lounges with pingpong tables look pretty good. Patrick beverley of the clippers saying the bubble is what you make it. Covid concerns are, of course, top of mind. Strict protocols in place regarding mask wearing and the integrity of the bubble overall. Superstar joel embiid was seen wearing a full body protective suit for the flight down here. Two Washington Wizards players, it was announced yesterday, did not travel down here at all due to positive tests and the nba has also faced some criticism regarding testing, and the frequency and some say it could take away resources for more vulnerable members of the popular in florida as cases surge, t.
