of our fellow citizens have so far recovered, as many states are continuing to loosen or lift stay at home restrictions. that, though, raising some concern about a possible local surge in cases. but the fda has approved two new tests, all in the hopes of ramping up testing soon. meanwhile, at the white house, you heard about this, the positive coronavirus cases involving two high level staffers and a number of secret service agents. well, that has prompted three of the government's top health officials to go under some sort of quarantine including dr. anthony fauci. david spunt has more from the north lawn of the white house and the goings on there this sunday morning. hi, david. >> reporter: hi, eric. good afternoon to you from the white house. president trump said just two days ago that it could happen anywhere. well, guess what, it has happened at the white house as you mentioned, those two staffers have tested positive in the white house. it is also prompted those three doctors, fauci, redfield and hahn, the fda commissioner to go

ahead and self quarantine. earlier this week at the white house, eric, we found out about one presidential valet, someone that's a naval aide that had been in contact with president trump, then we found out about the vice president's press secretary, you see her right there, katie miller many she's in isolation. she put out a statement thanking people for well wishes. miller was a frequent attendee at coronavirus task force briefings and meetings, she's been around the president and vice president. she's married to steven miller, a close advisor of president trump. fox news has also confirmed first daughter ivanka trump's personal assistant tested positive, she is not a white house employee, she has not been on the white house campus in months. the doctors will testify this week at a planned senate hearing on tuesday about the coronavirus. hahn and redfield will testify remotely from quarantine. fauci will likely show up with a mask because as folks say at the nih, the national institutes of

health, fauci's exposure here at the white house was limited. so he's going what's under a modified war quarantine. eric. eric: would certainly hope all will be okay. a lot of concern about the economy, treasury secretary talking about a potential huge rebound later on this year or early next year. what is the latest from there? >> reporter: the house is coming back into session this week, later on this week, and house speaker nancy pelosi indicated she is into a phase four relief package for the american people, whether it's small businesses or people at home that are struggling. the white house is saying let's just wait a minute, we don't want to jump into anything yet because after all this is a taxpayer money we're talking about. but this is after the house comes in next week that we could possibly see a phase four. now, on friday, we saw the worst jobs report in u.s. history, eric, 20.5 million americans lost their jobs, pushing that unemployment rate to 14.7%, the

highest since the great depression. treasury secretary steven mnuchin joined chris wallace this morning. listen. >> my numbers aren't rosey. what i said is you're going to have a very, very bad second quarter and then i think you're going to see a bounceback from a low standpoint. none of the economic models have ever worked in predicting what happens when you close down due to medical reasons. >> reporter: secretary mnuchin said as far as a phase four bill is concerned, he wants to kind of take time, let's see what happens, he said after all, if you're going to spend trillions of dollars of taxpayer money, trillions of more dollars of taxpayer money you want to make sure the money is spent carefully and appropriately. that's the line here from the white house this afternoon. eric. eric: already, david, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: well, eric, thank you. health officials in pasadena, california warning against gatherings for mother's day, this after tracing a cluster of

coronavirus cases back to a birthday party. aishah hasnie has more now. hi, aishah. >> reporter: hi, arthel. yes, contact tracing led to that discovery, more than five confirmed cases and many more people are now sick, all leading back to a large gathering that took place after the stay at home orders were issued and, again, a reminder of how quickly this virus can spread as the country begins to reopen. 40 states are reopening or relaxing restrictions beginning to. ohio one of those states to begin phased reopening this week as protesters rallied at the state house on saturday. governor mike dewine says new cases and deaths in his state are at a plateau but he can't underestimate more than 1 million who applied for unemployment. here he is on fox news sunday. >> well, it's really a risk no matter what we do. it's a risk if we don't do anything, it's a risk if we do

this. what we have done is come up with the best practices for businesses to reopen. >> reporter: and then over in south dakota the governor clashing with the sioux tribes over coronavirus checkpoints, the tribes have been asking nonresidents to filling out a health questionnaire before entering the reservation. the governosports in the era ofy look like this. fans watched from home as the usc returned, the first major sporting event to resume amid the pandemic. the match took place in an empty florida arena complete with new testing protocols and in a taped message president trump congratulated the usc for essentially restarting the sports world. arthel. arthel:.>> they were the ones e

paying for dirt that they thought came from russians and then asking about sick things like tapes and prostitutes to every one of these witnesses that came in. now you're starting to see the pieces of the i don' i don't rep that i think -- coverup that i think are more important. that's why what happened with general flynn being exonerated is the first part of the coverup of the democrats covering up for using this sick dirt that they paid for. eric: that was republican congressman devin nunes this morning on sunday morning futures, he was slamming the michael flynn investigation. what he describes as the democrats using false information for political purposes. this as the top democrat, president obama, took the rare and unusual step of weighing in on all this on the doj's moving to drop the flynn case, this happened in that leaked audio in which the former president talked with former members of his administration. take a listen. >> that's the kind of stuff

where you begin to get worried that basic -- not just institutional norms, but our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk. eric: meantime, vice president mike pence is telling axios on hbo that he now welcomes the idea of the former general flynn returning to government, calling the former national security advisor, quote, an american patriot. we were told that flynn resigned for misleading the vice president about his conversations with russian ambassador. joining us for more on this, phil redman of real clear politics. former president obama has thrown his hat into this. it's really a first, does this signify his greater involvementt in what is now the presidential campaign? >> well, president obama entered the chat and i don't think he's

going to go anywhere anytime soon. also on that call, he urged his former colleagues to go all-in to help former vice president joe biden win his campaign. and in a lot of ways this is exactly what biden wanted. he wanted obama's endorsement. he wants to run on a platform of a return to progressive normalcy. this does come with political liability, the trump campaign is going to argue the progressive normalcy included partisan investigations. eric: yes, di does this come wh the possibility that the president could be called to testify himself, the former president? this also opens the pandora's box of how the investigation started, what exactly happened, and what did president obama know and was he part of that. >> because every time president obama talks about trump and russia it raises a parallel question you just pointed out, what did he know and when did he know it. i think he's going to have to answer that question on his own

or perhaps in the coming months we'll learn more as the department of justice and others release documents. one outstanding question here is how did he learn about the investigation of general flynn? if you look back at the susan rice memo from january 5th of 2017, a lot of president trump's top intelligence officials were surprised that he even knew of the investigation, so that's an open question and someone who might be able to answer that is former vice president biden. he was in the oval office during that briefing. eric: you mentioned that briefing in which the former vice president was in and certainly he will likely at least in the campaign trail be asked about this. here's the e-mail. kind of unusual that susan rice sent it. let me read it to you. quote, she says in that meeting president obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensure that every aspect of this issue is handled by the intelligence and law enforcement communities by the book. the president stressed that he

is not asking about initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. he reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book. is that a legitimate objective view or is that a number one c-y-a on president obama because here's what sidney powell said this morning on the fox news channel about that meeting. >> so the whole thing was orchestrated and set up within the fbi, clapper, brennan, in the oval office meeting that day with president obama. eric: there she says it, it was orchestrated and set up by president obama. will he be asked about that? will we get more on this? >> i certainly hope we learn more about what actually happened but we're at a moment right now where it's an argument between two extremes, the trump administration, they think they got sucker punched. we just heard the obama administration, they think they

were doing everything according to the book. i think the final arbiter is going to be the american public, come november. they're going to make their decision about what happened in 2016, if it actually does bother them at the ballot box. by the way, they're also going to be doing this during a global health pandemic. eric: man, i know there's just so much on the pleat. plate. how do you think this will roll out, president obama clearly disturbed by the justice department moving to drop the flynn case, it's still up to the federal judge sullivan whether or not that will indeed happen. and critics, the democrats, also saying that it's been a real mischaracter of justice done for political purposes which of course the administration deny. >> right, just scroll over to president trump's twitter feed this morning to see how he is going to address the arguments. he called it the worst political crime in american history and that's not going to stop. he's going to continue to make that argument that this was a miscarriage of justice, that the

fbi tried to manufacture a crime against general flynn. we heard kayleigh mcenany make that arguments in the briefing room this week. this is not going to stop. what's interesting is that both sides have a grievance, the left says that dismissing the charges was a miscarriage of justice and the right says the whole thing was a miscarriage of justice as well. eric: finally, you think the republicans on the hill will actually call president obama and vice president biden to testify? >> i think that it would be extraordinary if they did. we know that in the past when former vice president biden has been asked about possibly testifying that he has said he's up for it. what's interesting is that both obama and biden they're both former senators, they're very comfortable in that chamber and i think we would learn a lot if that happened. but the precedent that would set would be very unusual moving forward.

this is not something we've seen. eric: yeah, no one is above the law in our country, republican or democrat. phil redman of real clear politics. thank you. >> thank you. arthel: and as he does daily, new york governor andrew cuomo is giving us an update on his state's response to the pandemic. let's listen in. >> the president must be referred through the department of health which will find alternative care. if a nursing home operator does not follow these procedures, they will lose their license. well, that's harsh. no. harsh is having a nursing home resident who doesn't get the appropriate care. that's what's harsh. having someone's parent or mother or brother in a situation where they're in a facility, they can't even get a visitor, they're isolated, they feel alone, and they're not getting the appropriate care.

that is what is harsh. and if that's what happens, then that facility operator should lose their license. i have no problem with that. i was the attorney general. i did investigations of nursing homes. i have tremendous respect for what they do. but this is the essence of their responsibility and obligation. again, we have the facilities. we have the beds. it's not like a situation where there are no options. we have options. and we want to use them. so if there's any reason why you can't provide appropriate care, let us know and we will put them in a facility that has it. also, this is an issue that people need to be aware of. new york state is investigating 85 cases of a covid-related illness in children. mostly toddler to elementary

schools, symptoms similar to kawasaki disease or toxic shock-like syndrome. this does not present as a normal covid case, covid cases tend to be respiratory. this presents as an inflammation of the blood vessels, sometimes inflammation of the heart. it's possible that these cases were coming in and were not diagnosed as related to covid because they don't appear as covid. but it is a situation that has taken the lives of three new yorkers, two additional deaths that are currently under investigation as possibly related to this same situation. the new york state department of health is going to notify all the other state departments of health, every state has a department of health. they will notify their

counterparts in the other states to put them on notice of this. again, we've recently found this and are investigating it but it may be possible and it may even be probable that this is a situation that exists in other states and we want to make sure that they are aware of it. new york state department of health is actively pursuing a new drug therapy, remdesivir has been shown to have some positive effect and we're desperately looking for a treatment for this virus, so the cdc has started tests on this drug and new york state is working with hhs, health and human services on the federal side, administering it to 2900 people at 15 hospitals and we're looking for more doses to start with an additional 500

people. this week is may 15th, may 15th the pause order, the close down order expires. we're looking region to region across the state, as to where it would be appropriate to reopen. this state we have a clear uniform set of criteria, the same all across the state, it's all science based, all data based. arthel: governor cuomo of new york assessing a potential may 15th open date for the state of new york and for the city of manhattan. before that, the governor saying that you cannot discharge patients to nursing homes unless they test negative to the virus. this as those in the hospital field are looking for the next stop for covid patients once discharged and we will keep an eye on the governor's press conference there. if he makes news we'll dip in, meanwhile check it out on

er we have an update on the shocking killing of ahmaud arbery, the unarmed black jogger in georgia, well, that state's bureau of investigation now confirms that it is reviewing some new surveillance video that they say is related to the shooting. that video appears to show him at a property under construction moments before that white father and son allegedly shot and killed him. lawyers for his family say the new video doesn't change any

facts about the murder case. steve harrigan live in atlanta with the very latest on this disturbing case. hi, steve. >> reporter: the video, security video about one block from where the shooting took place just before the shooting took place, it appears to show, it could show ahmaud arbery but you can't be certain from the videotape, it is about a six minute long tape. it shows the young man in a white shirt and shorts walking around an open construction site and leaving empty-handed. police report they received two phone calls reporting suspicious behavior. but when confronted with this tape, the lawyer for the arbery family said ahmaud arbery did not take part in any felony, was not armed, yet was shot three times with a shotgun at close range. video of that encounter was taken by a cell phone and it shows arbery being pursued by two men in a pickup truck. greg and trevor mcmichael.

greg mcmichael, the father in the back was armed with a handgun. trevor mcmichael was armed with a shotgun. arbery was unarmed. three shots were fired, arbery was killed. that day the second district attorney involved in the case actually told police that this was a just a justifyable homicit no arrests should be made and the mcmichaels were allowed to go home. it was 74 days later after the video came to light in public and after the georgia bureau of investigation became involved that could arrests were made but despite the arrests made for murder, the protests go on across the country. jajay-z and several others callg for an independent prosecutor to look at what happened, and at cities across the country, membememorial runs, 2.23 miles, marking the date of the attack, february 23rd. eric, back to you. eric: thanks so much.

arthel. arthel: well, the coronavirus pandemic taking a massive toll on mental health not only for the tens of thousands who have lost loved ones to the disease, but also for those on the front lines of the battle, the healthcare workers being pushed to the limit themselves. dr. patrice harris is here. i want to jump in and ask you first of all in all of your years, have you witnessed so many doctors, nurses and those dedicated to saving lives taking their own lives and then what are the resources available to the doctors and nurses facing unprecedented levels of death in such a condensed amount of time? >> arthel, thank you for having me on today. and actually, we come into this pandemic with a foundation of increased burnout among physicians and so now we see the emotional toll that it has

taken, particularly on physicians on the front lines, they are feeling stress and anxiety and physicians are used to taking care of others and sometimes we often -- tossen times we put ourselves -- oftentimes we put ourselves last. this pandemic heightened the need to address mental health in the broader community and in the physician community. at the ama we have a resource page with resources but i know my colleagues across the country in hospitals and systems are putting resources and support systems in place for physicians and other healthcare workers on the front line. arthel: very good. very good. and also there is the emotional and psychological impact on the relatives of the covid-19 patients. i mean, loved ones taken away, unexpectedly and suddenly, not able to be physically in the room during their transition, you have nurses acting as their proxy. what's the psychological toll in

all of that? >> that is tough on so many levels. certainly when you're not feeling well, when you're in the hospital, family members are there, other friends are there to support both the patient and to be surrogates with other staff and when you don't have that level of support, it's very difficult and i know many of my colleagues and the nurses are worried about having to stand in for patients and it's just another level of stress that's added to what is already a very stressful situation. fortunately, some systems are developing and using technology to help but it still is very stressful. it's very stressful on the families as well, because they feel that they can't be there for their loved ones and so a lot of grief is involved in this on so many levels.

arthel: absolutely. and then as you well know, covid-19 is ravaging african americans in disproportionate numbers. if you break that down by counties, you've got predominantly black counties that make up 22% of the country, but those counties account for 52% and 58% of covid-19 cases and deaths. if you would, talk about the psychological impact on this aspect of this story. >> well, certainly another area that is getting the spotlight and it's deservedly so is the impact of covid-19 disproportionate impact on communities of color. we've seen data come out from the very beginning, from a couple of our cities, from mill milwaukee, chicago, new york, new orleans and this recent study by amfar, the county data that you mentioned. we have to make sure what we do is make a commitment to

addressing the pre-existing health inequities, right now in the acute phase, we need to make sure we get the data and target interventions to those communities that are dispro force ' portion nets -- disproportionately affected. we have to make sure we address the inequities when we get through the acute phase of covid-19. we have the resources and we'll plan to do so. arthel: dr. harris, i have a commercial break i have to take. i have one more important question for the community at large. will you stand by until i take this break, until we take a break, please? >> absolutely. arthel: eric, are you going to tell us what's coming up.

these are extraordinary times, and we want to thank the extraordinary people in the healthcare community, working to care for all of us. at novartis, we promise to do our part. as always, we're doing everything we can to help keep cosentyx accessible and affordable. if you have any questions at all, call us, email us, visit us online. we're here to help support you when you need us. take care, and be well. to learn more, call one eight four four cosentyx or visit cosentyx.com arthel: we're back with dr. patrice harris, the president of the american medical association. i wanted to wrap up with this. when you take a look at the mental health picture overall, there is a surge in mental

distress showing up in all age groups. however, young adults and those with children experience the most pronounced spikes when you look closely at adults living at home with kids under the age of 18, the rate of severe distress rose from just 3% in 2018 to 37% last month. so dr. harris, you're a psychiatrist. how can the psyche of america deal with and eventually recover from the scars caused by this pandemic? >> well, this is going to need to be an all hands on deck approach. you know, we've had an under-supported and under-resourced mental health infrastructure in this country for decades and so we are going to have to increase the resources. we have going to have to have a national strategy and plan so we have the support services that are needed now and i know there are many states and private groups that are offering

services. we are now using telepsychiatry and telehealth to help with that we're going to have to have a very strong -- the worst outcomes don't have to be inevitable. we have to take action to address some of these issues. arthel: dr. harris, it's my pleasure to have you on. we'll see you again. thank you very much and have a good day. thank you very much. and meanwhile, the u.s. postal service board of governors approving one of president trump's major campaign donor as the new postmaster general. lewis join, a former ceo of a logistics firm that worked with the usps is expected to start next month. in a statement, he says having worked closely with the postal service for many years i have a great appreciation for this institution and the dedicated workers who faithfully execute its mission. i look forward to working with the supporters of the postal service in congress and the administration to ensure the

postal service remains an integral part of the united states government. he has given heavily to the president and the republican national committee, donating more than $860,000. now, his appointment comes with the postal service facing extra scrutiny as some states decide to use mail-in ballots for the 2020 elections and as president trump demands that it raise delivery fees to close its budget gap. let's talk about all of this with anita kumar, a white house correspondent and associate editor for politico, jumping right in, so listen, you know anita that the post office is on financial life support, needs resuscitation. louis dejoy will be the first postmaster general in 20 years who did not come up through the ranks, is a political appointee. is it time for a change at the top and is dejoy the right person to oversee the government agency? >> well, the reason you gave is exactly why you're hearing

criticism from democrats and ethics groups who are saying it should be someone that comes up through the ranks. you mentioned it's been a couple decades. the current post, the person who is currently in that job was a letter carrier and worked her way up and so people were looking for that kind of mold. what they're afraid of at this point is that president trump who has criticized the post office since way before when he was president, since 2013 at least, will actually push him to make those changes now. things that people that are watching the post office, the postmaster general's job are saying shouldn't be done. and so they're afraid this person will succumb to some of those pressures by the president. arthel: the president wants to privatize the postal service and even quadruple their fees because companies like amazon are underpaying for the millions of packages they ship through the post office, he says. however, speaker nancy pelosi says jacking up prices will hurt

many seniors who get meds through the post office, especially now when so many people are on lockdown. let's listen to the speaker. >> in this time where so much is being done remotely and the rest and so much depends on it being materialized by the postal service in terms of delivery and the rest, the goal has always been to privatize, to make a profit off the postal service for private purposes. we are for the public having the postal service meet the public interest, not some special interest. so that's the fundamental difference that we have. arthel: and anita, before you jump in, let me set this up. the post office said it's likely going to run out of money by the end of september. when it will be $13 billion in the red. that could mean no payroll, no mail. the democrats want to give the postal service another $25 billion in the next round of coronavirus relief legislation

and there is a new york times report about an online coalition of retailers backed by amazon and cvs spending a couple of million on ads aimed to get republicans to oppose the pose office price hike. that's proposed by the president. so who wins? >> yeah, i mean, this has really been way before coronavirus, this has been an issue you with the postal service. for years, since president trump has been in office, he's talked about raising price as you said. he had an executive order bout this a couple years ago in 2018 where he talked about possibly privatizing. he really wants to increase prices on the large package industries like amazon. especially always mentioned amazon but it's also others. you have the other side saying actually the postal service gets a lot of money from amazon and if you raise the prices they might go elsewhere. amazon and others could use another service. so they could end up losing money. you mentioned something that's coming up during coronavirus.

the democrats want to give sort of bailout money and hand them money and say let's shore up the postal service. where the republicans want it to be more of a loan, like a line of credit and so the treasury department can watch over them and so that's really been the fundamental disagreement and they're going to, as these recovery bills keep coming up, this is going to be what they're going to continue to argue about. arthel: finally, i was reading a yahoo news poll that says 61% of americans say that they would rather vote by mail than in person this coming election. so in that vein, that's where the politics will come in. the question will be the appointment of lewis dejoy, a political appointee, become a political hot potato if you will come this election a few months from now as people will still be on lockdown. >> we don't know what it's going to look like. president trump has said he's opposed to that because he

thinks that's the way you could have voter fraud come in. but you already have five states that have nearly all of their voting by mail and you have the house speaker, nancy pelosi, and other democrats arguing for a mail -- vote by mail system, national system by the time of the election. so we're going to see a lot of back and forth on that. i think it will depend on how things look in a couple months or a few more months. we have six months before the election. i think that's going to be one of the big issues that's coming up for november is how do people vote and how do they feel confident in their vote. arthel: especially you've got the scientists saying there could be, god forbid, we don't want it to be, but there could be a resurgence of the virus come that time of the year, the fall. anita, it's always a pleasure to talk to you and i'll see you again. thank you. >> thank you. arthel: eric. eric: well, arthel, it could be a preview of the contentiousness of november's presidential election, it's happening in california. president trump blasting an in-person polling place that was

put in a majority democratic area, that others say the ones in the republican area balance it all out. the fury continues. we'll tell you about that, straight ahead. all the moms out there and especially the moms that i am privileged to work with on "fox & friends," ainsley, janice, and of course to my own wonderful mother, all that i am and ever hope to be, i owe to my angel mother. happy mother's day, sweetheart. usaa was made for right now. and right now, is a time for action. so, for a second time we're giving members a credit on their auto insurance. because it's the right thing to do. we're also giving payment relief options to eligible members so they can take care of things like groceries before they worry about their insurance or credit card bills. right now is the time to take care of what matters most. like we've done together, so many times before. discover all the ways we're helping members
