and the touching tributes for kobe bryant. the performances, jerseys and the moments that had fans on their feet. we do say good morning, america. great to have you with us on this presidents' day. great to have tom with us. >> great to be here. >> you guys were talking about that powerful night. they were talking hoops, the all-star game honoring of course, the nine people who lost their lives in that helicopter crash including kobe bryant and his daughter. >> and take a look. that patch appearing on all the jerseys, nine stars for the nine lives lost. just one of the ways the nba paid tribute last night. >> one of the most powerful all-star games in years. we'll have much more on that ahead. we begin with the breaking news, those coronavirus evacuation flights landing here at two air force bases here in america this morning, carrying hundreds of americans from that diamond cruise ship from japan. we know at least 14 people who flew on those planes are battling coronavirus.

>> all those passengers face an additional two-week quarantine amid growing fears about the virus spreading across the globe. so far there have been more than 71,000 cases and 1,700 deaths. marcus moore is at lackland air force base in texas where one of those flights just landed. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: robin, good morning. it is the latest development in the response to this fast-moving outbreak. that jet landing here in san antonio this morning, and those evacuated americans will now stay in special isolation facilities here on base. 300 passengers from the "diamond princess" cruise ship back on u.s. soil this morning, arriving at military air force bases in both california and texas overnight. including 14 passengers who have tested positive for the coronavirus. those passengers confined to a specialized, isolated containment area on the aircraft. mark jorgensen was on that flight. his wife, jerry, has the coronavirus and is still in japan. this is what it looked like when

passengers first boarded. flight crew members in full hazmat suits giving a preflight safety announcement. meanwhile passengers who stayed on the "diamond princess" are now slated to face another two weeks of quarantine. american matthew smith says that's fine with him. >> we were confident in the quarantine that the japanese officials have established and are following through on. we were upset that the u.s. plans involve breaking this quarantine. >> reporter: at least 454 cases of coronavirus have been diagnosed on board, the largest confined cluster outside of main land china. this as fears mount over a new coronavirus on another cruise ship in cambodia. over the weekend, an 83-year-old american passenger on the luxury cruise ship "westerdam" was diagnosed with coronavirus just one day after the passengers and

crew disembarked from the ship. many passengers on the "westerdam" have traveled onto destinations worldwide. and for the americans who have arrived back here in the u.s., by the time they're done with their isolation, they will have been in quarantine for about a month. this as health officials try to prevent a global pandemic. robin? >> okay, marcus. we're going to bring in abc news chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. let's start with the cruise ship in cambodia. that one pasnger getting off testing positive for the coronavirus. >> you know, robin, i think it's important here not to get bogged down on one number, number one, when we're talking about millions and millions of people and cases and risk here. this might be the tip of the iceberg phenomenon. we really need to know how many people are exposed, how many people are infected and how many people are sick, and if the number sick in this case, one, remember, tip of the iceberg. so again, that's -- it's just -- this is just an evolving situation. >> and can you just put it in perspective here for us? people wake up to this headline every morning and there's concern. >> in particular, we're seeing

something play out here that doesn't make sense to a lot of lay people, why we're bringing people with known infection into the u.s. that's a judgment call about risk versus benefit, risk of staying on that ship versus benefits of being here in the u.s. where we know how to isolate and contact trace, and again, that is the key to controlling this outbreak. >> all right, jen. thanks so much. michael? >> thank you, doc and robin. now to the state of emergency in the south. the pearl river in mississippi is now at its highest level in decades and still rising. neighborhoods already swamped. alex perez there in jackson. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, michael. i want you to take a look behind me. we're outside this power substation and there's so much water here you can't tell where the pearl river ends and land begins. it has been an anxiety-filled few days here. overnight, the mississippi capital in a state of emergency. with water rising this morning from the pearl river, levels expected to reach its highest in nearly four decades.

2,400 homes and structures now in jeopardy. part of jackson completely submerged. >> we do not anticipate this situation to end any time soon. if you have not evacuated yet, we urge you to do so. >> reporter: with floodwaters rising, first responders and volunteers using boats to help those stranded. >> we're trying to save whatever we can. >> reporter: some cars completely underwater while others are trying to fight their way out of tricky situations. floodwaters from water being released from the reservoir, expected to push the pearl river to crest today at 37 1/2 feet. and in tennessee, floodwater wreaking havoc there too. relentless rain causing so much ground saturation, this home saturday night plunging down a steep embankment as sparks fly. and authorities have distributed more than 146,000 sand bags here to help protect homes. they're expecting more rain here later this week. michael? >> all right, alex.

you said it, unfortunately more rain is on the way for the south, and there are flood warnings from texas to north carolina. sam champion is in this morning for ginger. good morning, sam. >> yeah, michael. this is a terrible situation for a good part of the south. even in the satellite picture you can see how it looks a little drier today, but that is coming from san francisco to denver, and there's more rain coming. the flood warnings come from texas to south carolina. there are more than three dozen rivers and bayous at flood stage or above. the worst flooding is in mississippi right now, but take a look at the pearl river. the highest since 1983. now some people have not been around to see that flooding. i remember 1983, but a lot of people in this area were born after that. so this is the worst flooding they've ever seen. why are we in this situation? if you go back to january for jackson, they have had more than 20 inches of rain, and just in the last ten -- week and a half, ten inches of rain for a good part of the south. we have two to three, and most of that is tomorrow. this situation is not over.

tom? >> we'll keep an eye on that. sam, thank you. let's turn to politics now and the race for the white house with just five days to go until the next votes in the nevada caucus. here's how the national polling average changed over the last week. take a look. bernie sanders is holding steady on top, and joe biden in second, but dropping several points. michael bloomberg on the rise in third. he's not even competing in nevada but already a target of the other candidates as early voting gets under way there. eva pilgrim has more from las vegas. eva, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, tom. time is ticking. the nevada caucuses are at the end of the week, and with no clear front-runner in sight, the elbows are out as candidates make stop after stop trying to get voters in their corner. a massive turnout for early voting in nevada left people waiting for hours in lines described as a chaotic mess of confusion. the democratic presidential hopefuls appealing to voters to keep coming out as they keep campaigning. many now making focused attacks on michael bloomberg. >> i never thought i was going to be able to compete with some

of my opponents' bank accounts. >> $60 billion can buy you a lot of advertising, but it can't erase your record. >> reporter: bloomberg is not even on the ballot in the silver state. the businessman listed by "forbes" as the eighth richest man in the world worth almost $63 billion, instead focusing his attention on the super tuesday states. >> mike bloomberg's never been afraid of tough fights, and wants to make a true difference in people's lives. >> reporter: and spending an unprecedented $381 million on ads so far. but as bloomberg's polling numbers increase, so does scrutiny on his past, including the billionaire's treatment of women in the workplace and allegations of sexist comments reported by abc news and receiving renewed attention after another investigation by the "washington post." the article accusing the billionaire of creating a workplace culture that allowed the sexual degradation of women, bloomberg allegedly making crude comments, telling an employee who just announced she was

pregnant to kill it, and scolding a female employee who couldn't find a nanny saying, all you need is some black who doesn't have to speak english to rescue it from a burning building. court records reviewed by abc news finding that at least 17 women have taken legal action against bloomberg's company over the past 30 years. three cases specifically naming bloomberg for his role in the company's culture. none of the cases made it to trial. four were dismissed or withdrawn. five were settled out of court. three cases remain active. bloomberg this weekend tweeting, i would not be where i am today without the talented women around me. i've depended on their leadership, their advice and their contributions. as i demonstrated throughout my career, i will always be a champion for women in the workplace. and lots of chatter around if bloomberg could make the next debate on wednesday. he needs one more state or national poll putting him above 10% to make the cut. tom? >> yep. the clock still ticking there.

eva, let's go back to the nevada caucus right now. big turnout for early voting and a big concern. there's not a repeat of what happened in iowa with calculating those votes. >> reporter: well, it's certainly going to be a mad dash to the finish here. they completely scrapped their original plans at the chaos in iowa. volunteers here telling us that they are concerned. state party officials say they're working around the clock testing the different backup plans they already had in place, but time is running out. the caucuses are on saturday, tom. >> yeah, and the pressure is on. all right, eva. thanks so much. robin? all right, tom. to washington now where attorney general william barr is facing new criticism for intervening in the case of president trump's long-time confidante, roger stone. more than 1,100 former justice prosecutors and officials are now publicly calling for his resignation. cecilia vega has the details for us. good morning, cecilia. >> reporter: good morning to you. these are folks who worked in both democratic and republican administrations now calling on bill barr to resign.

this is part of that growing fallout. of course, after the justice department overruled prosecutors' seven to nine-year sentencing recommendation for stone. that reversal happened after, of course, the president blasted the original recommendation publicly. now these 1,100 names signed this letter including the former deputy attorney general under president george bush, about 50 former u.s. attorneys. they're now calling on justice department employees to report abuses of political interference and to resign if they see them. take a look at what they said. they said, quote, it is unheard of for the department's top leaders to overrule line prosecutors who are following established policies in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the president. such behavior, they say, is a grave threat to the fair administration of justice. so far, robin, no comment from the justice department, but meantime, stone is yet to be sentenced on thursday. >> thank you, cecilia. michael? thank you, robin. now to a major arrest in the murder case of barnard college student tessa majors.

a 14-year-old taken into custody, charged with killing majors in a new york city park in december. stephanie ramos is there with more. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: michael, good morning. police say the 14-year-old they just arrested is responsible for taking the life of tessa majors. this is where police found her, on these steps, after she fought back against three teens. the nypd announcing on saturday that 14-year-old rashaun weaver is being charged with two counts of murder in the second degree as an adult under state law in her fatal stabbing just a few blocks away from her college campus. now according to the criminal complaint, video surveillance shows majors entering the park just before 7:00 that evening when she was approached by the three teens trying to steal her cell phone. michael? >> stephanie, prosecutors say there's a lot of evidence connecting him to her death as well. >> reporter: absolutely. authorities say smartphone evidence, dna evidence, witness

identification and even the defendant's own statements help in this case. now, weaver is due in court this wednesday. michael? >> all right, stephanie. thank you so much. tom? >> all right, a sad story all around. let's turn to sports now. the daytona 500 deterred by rain this sunday. now set to continue this afternoon. drivers took just 20 laps with ricky stenhouse jr. in the lead. sentimental favorite, jimmie johnson, who is retiring after this season, in eighth place right now. we'll see how it ends in a few hours. >> a lot of people are going to be watching. now to that action-packed nba all-star game. the best players in the league facing off in chicago, and also paying tribute to the nine people who were killed in that helicopter crash including kobe bryant and his daughter. t.j. holmes is here. he has those exciting details. >> reporter: good morning. you could almost argue that kobe bryant played for two teams in his nba career, the l.a. lakers and the western conference all stars. he was in this game 18 times. this was such a part of his legacy. it's a special place, and they made sure pretty much at every facet of all-star weekend kobe's

presence was felt. the nba all-star game this year focused on one star in particular. >> we will never see another basketball player quite like kobe. >> reporter: the league paying tribute to kobe bryant, his daughter gianna, and the seven others who died in a helicopter crash last month. ♪ this may only be a dream >> reporter: jennifer hudson opened the night with her rendition of "for all we know." performances also by fellow hometown superstars, common -- >> even in the darkest times, you'll feel kobe's light. >> reporter: -- and chance the rapper. ♪ and the players on team giannis' red team all wore 24 in kobe's honor while lebron's blue team wore number 2, the number worn by gianna.

both sides also sported patches with nine stars, one for each life lost on that california hillside. >> from center court, yes. >> reporter: the two teams showed a little mamba mentality, fighting down to the very last point, and even the biggest prize of the night, dedicated to number 24. kawhi leonard took home the first ever kobe bryant mvp award. >> words can't even explain. just making this the first kobe bryant mvp trophy, thank you. this one's for him. >> i mentioned kobe made 18 all-star games. only one person has made more, kareem abdul-jabbar. that's rarified. nobody won more mvp awards than kobe in the all-star games. he won four. >> that's right. >> it just so happens, it was announced kobe is a finalist to the hall of fame. this is his first year eligible, it just happened to fall -- >> i have a feeling he'll make it. >> well deserved. >> thank you so much, t.j. we're following a lot of other stories this morning. next, the interview with duchess kate. what she's revealing about

podcast interview, and to paraphrase one of her more revealing answers, she said, you think things are going to go back to the way that they were before you had a child, and you don't realize the impact that having a child has on your life until they arrive, but that no amount of planning or preparation can really get you ready for when that moment comes. this morning, she's one of the most famous mothers in the world, raising her three young children in the public eye. and now for the first time, the duchess of cambridge is opening up about the realities of parenthood behind the palace gates. >> do you struggle with mom guilt? >> yes, absolutely. anyone who doesn't as a mother is actually lying. even this morning, george and charlotte were, like, how could you possibly not drop us off at school this morning? >> reporter: in a rare, no holds barred interview on the podcast "happy mum, happy baby," duchess kate admitting her pregnancies were not easy. >> i had really bad morning sickness. i'm not the happiest of pregnant people. lots of people have it far, far

worse but it was definitely a challenge. i was really sick but yet my body was still able to take all the goodness from my body and to grow new life. >> reporter: the 38-year-old revealing she turned to hypnobirthing, a mindfulness technique, to help with morning sickness and help easy the pain of childbirth. >> the power of it really is meditation, and the deep breathing and i realized this is something i can take control of during labor. it was hugely powerful, and actually because it had been so bad during pregnancy i actually quite liked labor. >> it was nearly over. >> i knew there was going to be an ending. >> some people might be surprised at how open she has been. she's the future queen. she's talking a lot about life behind closed doors, which is not something that we usually get the opportunity to hear about. clearly she felt it was important that she reflected on

her own experiences. >> reporter: the duchess revealing how she felt about that iconic photo op, debuting prince george to the world just hours after giving birth. >> slightly terrifying, i'm not going to lie. both william and i were really conscious of, you know, this was something really everyone was excited about, and we were hugely grateful for the support, but equally it was coupled with a newborn baby and sort of inexperienced parents and the uncertainty about what that held, so there was all sorts of mixed emotions. >> reporter: and in other royal news, harry and meghan who announced their intentions to step back from senior royal duties were spotted over the weekend getting off of a commercial plane, carrying their own luggage in their reported new home country of canada. guys? >> all right, will. >> just like us. >> i've been carrying my own luggage for a lot of years. >> good to know. we turn now to a very strange story, the bizarre babynapping plot. a mother and daughter are accused of pretending to be

photographers and then drugging a mother to kidnap her 5-week-old girl. gio benitez has more on this disturbing story, and gio, this is a weird one. >> reporter: it really is, tom. good morning. turns out the woman has quite the digital footprint because just last year she ran for mayor of colorado springs, but now this morning, police say she intended to steal a baby. >> hi. my name is juliette parker and i'm currently a candidate in the upcoming colorado springs 2019 mayoral election. >> reporter: this morning a former mayoral candidate juliette parker is accused of pretending to be a baby photographer in order to steal a baby. >> we believe she was attempting to find a small, female infant and was going to kidnap the baby and take the baby out of state and raise it as her own. >> reporter: investigators say the 38-year-old reached out to a facebook moms group offering free newborn photo sessions to build up her portfolio. a woman authorities are not naming agreed to the photo session. on the third visit to the woman's home, parker's

16-year-old daughter offered the woman a cupcake. the woman said she immediately became ill and disoriented. she called 911 and kicked parker and her daughter out of her home. >> she believed that she was drugged and that they were going to take her baby. through our investigation, we have determined that that probably was the case. >> reporter: the woman telling police that parker took selfies with the baby before leaving, wiped her fingerprints off of everything she touched and stole the house keys. >> i was completely appalled. i was, like, that could have been me. >> reporter: amanda appling says she responded to the same facebook post in december hoping to get photos of her baby boy. >> she informed me that she wasn't looking for a boy at the time, but that she would save his picture and let me know later on if she was looking for a little boy to do photos with. so i just let it go and was, like, okay, whatever. >> reporter: and victoria morris says parker took these maternity photos while she was pregnant. >> i'm really, really upset and scared because she had my

address and she's been in my home. >> and parker was charged with attempted kidnapping and second-degree assault. she and her daughter are expected to appear in court tomorrow. can you imagine being those other mothers hearing about these allegations? >> scary. >> very scary. thank you so much, gio. now to the new and potentially dangerous fallout in the houston astros sign stealing scandal. the team's new manager is urging the mlb to protect his players from opponents who may want to retaliate against them for cheating. t.j. holmes is back with that story. what's up, t.j.? >> let's be clear, the houston astros cheated. the year they cheated they won the world series. they get to keep their world series title. we're hearing how much that doesn't sit right with other teams who say, mlb, you didn't punish these astros players. we might punish them ourselves on the field. >> reporter: the houston astros kicked off spring training in florida, but it was the sign stealing scandal that has other

teams taking swings at the 2017 world series champs. >> personally i lost respect for those guys. >> they cheated. they've cheated the game. >> everybody around the league is really upset and rightfully so because it's really a disgrace to the game. >> reporter: a league investigation found in 2017 the astros used an off-field camera and a system of bangs on a trash can to get the upper hand. and after the astros faced backlash for their widely criticized public apology, some around baseball now speculating that opposing pitchers will look to retaliate by intentionally hitting houston batters this season. when asked about this, dodgers pitcher ross stripling tells espn, in the right time and in the right place, it would certainly be on my mind, a threat the houston astros are taking seriously. >> we're depending on the league to try to put a stop to, you know, this seemingly, you know, premeditated retaliation. i'm just hoping that the league puts a stop to this before

somebody gets hurt. >> all right, and of course, spring training is just opening up so we're hearing from all these players and teams. yu darvish of the dodgers was lit up, a superstar pitcher, lit up in that world series. he has put it this way -- in the olympics, when they find out later you cheated, they take your gold medal away. why do we find out these guys cheated they get to keep their world series title? it's not just about money, but i'll throw this out there. they got bonus checks of $438,000 a piece for winning that world series. you put that together, that's not going to sit right with a lot of teams they have to face. they're going to keep their eye on this. >> i saw one player say, if you hit one of them, you'll get suspended and serve more time away from the game than they did for being involved in this whole scheme. >> the astros were fined $5 million, and the gm and manager lost jobs. not a single player was punished. this could turn into something during the season. they have to keep an eye on it. >> we don't want it to turn into that. thank you, t.j. coming up, the surprise

[ applause ] we move on now to our "gma" cover story. amy schumer has always been candid about her fertility journey, even reaching out to her instagram followers for advice. now she is sharing new details about her ivf treatment and the struggles she is facing. kaylee hartung has the latest and joins us this morning. good morning, kaylee. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the difficulties that amy schumer faced in her first pregnancy, inspired her latest comedy special. her willingness to show herself is her trademark, so amy once again is keeping it real. 38-year-old amy schumer is now sharing new details about the journey she's on to conceive a second child. the comedienne revealing on instagram that she's completed a successful round of in vitro fertilization, and she and her husband feel lucky to have one healthy embryo. she broke down the numbers of

her process, writing, quote, they retrieved 35 eggs from me. not bad for the old gal, right? then 26 fertilized. whoa, right? from all of those, we got one normal embryo from that and two low level mosaic. the comedienne who has a 9-month-old son with husband chris fisher has been candid about the challenges they have faced as they try to expand their family. last month, describing the physical pain of ivf to oprah. >> i don't want to discourage anyone, but it hurts. those shots hurt, and then -- and then you get -- you have the egg retrieval, and then after, you know, your ovaries are filling up with fluid. ivf, guys. woo! >> reporter: schumer admitted she was worried about the toll the treatment was taking on her mind and body. reaching out the her followers for advice writing, i'm a weakened ivf, and feeling run down and emotional. the post garnered more than 35,000 comments of men and women sharing their stories. >> women were just really down

to reach out and share and help me and, like, hold my hand through it. >> reporter: the superstar hoping her transparency inspires others to be open about their own fertility battles so they don't suffer in silence. >> we are warriors. all of us. i mean for real. that is what i learned. i didn't just learn how strong i was. i really learned as a whole how strong women are. >> reporter: amy says the stories others have shared with her have helped her more than you could imagine, and with that support, she's learned to be more patient and kind to herself. robin? >> good to hear that, kaylee. thank you. dr. jen is back because she gave us a lot of numbers here. >> yeah. >> she said 35 eggs retrieved, 28 fertilized and one normal embryo. can you put that into context? >> i want to be clear. the number of eggs or embryos if you even choose to use them is not a reflection of a woman

as a human being. don't get bogged down on numbers. when we go through an ivf process, we take as many eggs out of the ovaries as possible, and then those get fertilizefer. we have to look at which of those are high enough quality to be transferred to the uterus, and we say it all the time in ob/gyn because it is true, you only need one. >> only need one. she said something that i was not familiar with. mosaic. what's that? >> it's good that that's being discussed. that refers to the percentage of abnormal cells to normal cells when is the embryo is about to be transferred into a woman's uterus. higher levels of mosaicism indicate more abnormal cells. we're able to look at them, and we don't know -- you or i might have had a certain percentage of abnormal cells. there's a lot of research ongoing, but it can be stressful for the doctor and couple. >> stressful, the emotional toll that amy talked about. >> that's what's so important here, and it affects both parents here. it's not just a financial and physical toll.

it's emotional, psychological, and social. we tend to think of ourselves as a failure or have doubt, anxiety, fear, shame. talking about this is the first step in bashing all of that, and whichever route people decide to take to become parents, if they make that decision, there's fear and anxiety across the board. >> that is universal. all right, jen. thanks so much. >> you bet. >> michael? thank you, robin. now a sneak peek at tonight's "bachelor." pilot pete is down to the final four ladies and he's headed on hometown dates. sara is back. a blast from the past is making an appearance tonight and not everybody is happy about that. >> chris hanson promises this might be the most dramatic season ever, and pilot pete hasn't let us down. we follow him to four hometowns to meet his potential in-laws, but this time we run into some unforeseen turbulence. >> reporter: it's time for hometowns, and after the

unexpected -- >> shut the front door. >> reporter: -- anything can happen. >> it's really hard to get him to make a definitive decision and cut the cord on some of these relationships, but because they linger. we are on a timetable. >> reporter: still in the running for peter's heart, champagnegate star, kelsey. >> are you okay? >> reporter: model hannah ann. madison, who hopes that pilot pete is the one. >> in a marriage, like, i want someone who, like, also has that relationship with the lord and loves that about me. >> reporter: and we can't forget victoria f. >> it's like every single time we're together, i feel like you're always in a mood. >> reporter: who all season long has provided moments like this. >> it's always her, i'm done. i don't want to be here anymore. he can be with hannah. i'm done. i'm going home. i'm done. >> reporter: this season even featuring a cameo from her ex, country star, chase rice.

>> nothing could be worse. i'm freaking out right now. >> reporter: and tonight, the stakes even higher. in a "gma" exclusive clip, bachelor peter reveals a blast from his past is making an unexpected return. >> okay. >> take a seat. >> yeah. >> you know how on our first date at that concert, you had an ex there. >> mm-hmm. >> today i had an ex there too. >> okay. >> she just brought some stuff up to my attention that she thought that i should know. >> i'm just, like, disgusted right now. >> you heard my words. do you think there's any way i couldn't address this? >> then i don't want to do this. >> can we just talk? >> let's talk it out. what do you want to say? >> i did not accuse you of anything. i simply told you what happened because i was -- >> you were supposed to meet my family tonight.

>> i want you to be completely realistic right now. >> i am so done with this conversation right now. i can't do this. >> so that's a teaser. to find out what happens, tune into "the bachelor" tonight at 8:00, 7:00 central right here on abc. >> she was disgusted. i'm disgusted too. tell you. all right, sam. over to you. what you got, buddy? >> i don't know, michael, i just want to make sure everybody's okay. i mean, is everybody going to be okay? i want to show you something that i have always wanted to do. take a look at the video here because the setup is this is coming out of finland. this is lapland. northern finland. it's awesome, right? this is way up in the arctic circle. so these are several videos, about two years of videos that have been taken of the aurora borealis, the northern lights. this is when it bounces off our protective layer of the earth and sets off all these beautiful colors. there are all these places where you can go up and stay the night or stay for a couple of nights i guess because it's a longer trip than just one night. might not want to go for one night.

and you can watch the lights dance across the area. but they say it's a little like trying to catch a wild animal because they're not always there, and they're hard to see. and we're back now with a health update. as cases of the coronavirus soar and a second wave of the flu hits children, a look at how

to stay healthy while traveling. the cdc estimates there have been at least 26 million flu cases, 250,000 hospitalizations and 14,000 deaths so far. gio benitez is back now with helpful tips before spring break. >> good morning again. planes, trains, buses, some of the best ways to get around, but some of the fastest ways to get sick. this morning, we're going to go to the experts now for that crucial advice. take a look. >> reporter: as more than 75 million americans are expected to travel this month by air alo alone, dr. nick tess ta, chief medical officer in los angeles, reminds us on this fake plane at air hollywood how to stay healthy when taking to the skies. >> on an airplane, you have almost a hundred time increase to contract a respiratory illness. >> reporter: this route makes about five flights a day. that means at least four strangers are touching your table tray, shade, arm rest and air vent. according to one study, a tray table has 12 times more bacteria, harmful or not, per inch, than your toilet seat at home. >> if we bring a wipe, we want to wipe it with us, and clean off the tray table. >> reporter: and air on board is

circulated from ceiling to floor, filtered every two minutes. if a flu carrier sneezes, watch this simulation done for popular science. these passengers, because of the air flow to the sides and behind the sides, are most at risk, but it's not just planes. when it comes to buses -- >> you probably don't even realize how many things you're touching. you'll present your fare, and touch that. you'll touch these steel bars and of course grab onto these straps and when you sit down, you'll touch the steel again, and of course, you'll pull that cable to request a stop. >> reporter: and dr. testa says, move to the back if there are less people there. staying close to the exit door where the air circulates >> the way we get sick, is we're crowded together and we're rebreathing each other's air. >> reporter: he says your seat selection can sometimes protect you and on trains too. >> if you sit at the window seat, you actually decrease your chances of getting sick because less people are walking by you. >> reporter: how far can germs travel?

>> if you were to sneeze what would happen? >> i can create a cloud of virus that extends 12 feet. that's the people in front of me, the people behind me, and you, the person next to me. >> and the person on the other side. >> absolutely. >> reporter: that's why dr. testa says, cut the small talk. >> even by speaking they can easy expose you. >> i recommend decreasing the small talk when you're sitting next to anyone on the train. >> keep it quiet. at the end of the day, your best bet is just staying hydrated, lots and lots of water. try to stay away from those dehydrating drinks, but every single time that i'm getting on a plane, i'm getting those anti-bacterial wipes. you get those, and i'm wiping it down. i don't care who's watching me. you got to do it. it takes a few seconds. >> and the tray. remind me, how bad was it again? >> 12 times. everybody in here said -- oh yeah. everybody in here said, ew.

we met outside during a commercial break. they are playing in carnegie hall. can you believe that? [ applause ] hey, guys. how did you get to carnegie hall? >> all: practice, practice, practice. [ applause ] >> it's an oldie, but a goodie. >> we know you guys are excited to be at carnegie hall so thank you for blessing us with your beautiful voices this morning. and we are so excited to have these two oscar nominees with us this morning. liam neeson and lesley manville are starring together in and getting great reviews for the new movie, "ordinary love." welcome, you two. thank you for joining us this morning. >> great to be with you. >> your chemistry is just incredible in this film. it's amazing to me that you have never worked together. >> no. >> but what was your first impression szs of each other when you did meet?

>> thank god we got on, didn't we? he's all right. he's a bit tall, but, you know. >> she looked very small. i thought, aww. she needs looked after, you know? we had never met before. i was aware of who she is. lesley is one of the great actresses and i mean that, great. >> you're not bad yourself. [ applause ] >> acting with her is like a walk in the park. >> makes it easy. >> she just makes it easy. >> well, you play a lovely married couple, and the producers, when they were coming up with this, they had you two in mind for this role, and liam in particular, they really wanted you for this. is it true that they sent the script to your good friend bono for him to give it to you? >> my old pal, bono. yeah. yeah. he says, read this. i couldn't stop turning the pages. i thought, okay.

i'll read it, and it was true. i literally couldn't stop the pages. >> what is it about when you received the script? what was it that just jumped out at you? >> well, you know, it starts and ends with the script where, you know, you can have great people in it, great directors, but if what's on the page is not well written, you're going to -- you're onto a loser really. but, you know, it's such a beautiful film because it's so -- it's a big epic terrible thing that's happening to this couple, but at the heart of it, it's about them and their relationship, and their enduring love which is quite unusual to see a middle-aged love story on screen where they still really like each other. >> after 30 years of marriage. >> yeah. >> such grace between you two, and unexpected humor that would come through as well at times. >> they're a funny couple. that's one of the things that keeps them going, their humor. >> should we show them a clip? >> let's look at a clip, "ordinary love."

>> there's no point of thinking like that. you don't know. you can't do anything until you know. >> i know. i know. i know i've got it. >> so you're a doctor now? >> you don't have to be a doctor to know things like that. >> yes, you do. >> i know that three is closer to five, and i know i've got breast cancer. >> okay. what are we going to do now? >> i don't know. >> correct. because you can't do anything because you don't know. [ applause ] >> wow. wow. and liam, this movie is a departure from a lot of the action-packed movies we've seen you do. >> that's the thing, michael. when i read the script and i know the subject matter is breast cancer, they told me i had three fight scenes. >> listen, if i started beating

you up, you'd have no chance. >> i agree. i agree with that. lesley, your character wore a locket throughout the movie. what was in the locket? >> well, in the story, they've got it -- they have had a daughter who's die some time ago, and i just had this little idea to have a locket with a photo in, but i put a photo of my granddaughter, matilda, in it as a little girl. i've still got it. i stole it actually. >> but nobody knows. >> little trinkets like that. "ordinary love," but it's extraordinary. what makes this so extraordinary? >> go on. you say. >> well, love itself is extraordinary, right? marriage, living together, it's hard after a number of years, and these two, they have been married for 30 years and they live almost in a little cocoon

of their own love. they make fun of each other, they get each other's humor. they insult each other in a good way, but they're absolutely crazy for each other, and that's rare i think. [ applause ] >> well put. well put. it is extraordinary love, but you guys make sure you go check out "ordinary love," all right? it's in theaters now. coming up, we have the new "emma," anya taylor-joy. she is here with the details on her growing up in a family that struggled economically powerfully influenced my values. bernie sanders he's fighting to raise wages. and guarantee health care for all. now, our country is at a turning point. hard working people, betrayed by trump, struggling to survive. in this moment, we need a fighter.

[ applause ] >> ginger can do it all. tune in tomorrow when we will be live at the theater for a performance for "moulin rouge: the musical." ginger is not here. she is traveling on an exotic, wonderful assignment that she's going to share with us later this week. that's why we're stuck with this guy. [ applause ] robin, i found video for what we're going to do when go to lap land to watch the aurora borealis. the last show i showed you, blowing bubbles in subzero temperatures. so this is from storyful, and she did everything right. the sunrise is in the background. you have about 22 degrees below zero. she's in the backyard blowing bubbles. you can see the ice crystals form and the bubbles and then slide a little bit as they

burst. absolutely gorgeous video. there is one opportunity to do this left. we know for sure, so you guys, if you are in minneapolis for sure, look at aberdeen. these numbers are below zero to you get another opportunity to do it. if you do it, take video, but it's going to be hard to beat carol's because that was pretty perfect. >> that really was. i just like showing my profile here. [ cheers and applause ] [ cheers and applause ] i'm here with anya taylor-joy who stars in "emma" which critics are calling witty, dazzling and hilarious. thank you for being here. welcome to the show. >> thank you so much for having me. >> we have been seeing you in a lot of movies over the last five years or so.

but the way you got discovered was really fascinating, yet a little scary. >> a little bit creepy. >> you were walking your dog and a car started following you? >> yes. i was wearing heels for the first time because i had a party i was trying to practice for, and this black car started following me so i freaked out, picked up my dog and ran, and then a guy stuck his head out the window and said, if you stop, you won't regret it which is like every horror movie ever, but i did stop and it was the head of a modeling agency and it all worked out, but i do not suggest people stop if a car is following you. i feel like just keep running. >> good public service announcement. do not stop, no matter what. now you're starring in "emma." >> yeah. >> just a few years later, but you say you make a play list for every character you play. >> mm-hmm. >> what's on emma's play list? >> the main one is hall and oates "rich girl." it was kind of the theme. there was a whole bunch of just really romantic music like "i'm

forever blowing bubbles," louis armstrong, and the love theme from the "robin hood's" animated movie that maid marian sings. >> i guess the music inspires your character. we'll look at a clip of you in action as emma. let's check it out. >> she's pretty and she's good-tempered. that is all. >> that is all? these are not trivial recommendations, mr. knightly. some men do fall in love with well informed minds instead of handsome faces. a girl should be admired and sought after wherever she goes. i'm very much mistaken if your sex in general would not find these the highest claims a woman can possess. [ applause ] >> don't want to mess with you. but there have been a few adaptations of "emma," but what set this one apart? >> i think it's the fact that period drama, it seems like it happened such a long time ago that people will almost treat it like science fiction, and we wanted to remind people that it's really funny, and

underneath the corsets and bonnets and the whole shebang, these are real people and they're hot messes most of the time so we wanted to create like a hot mess emma, if that makes sense. >> hot mess? >> we have panic attacks and everyone is losing it all over the place, and still trying to keep it, like, straight. >> keep it proper. >> yeah. >> you mentioned the costumes, beautiful. >> yeah. >> how much of the costumes make the woman in this film, and did you keep anything from the set? >> i dropped crazy hints. i was, like, i can wear this with my doc martins and i can make it work, but no, they're expensive so i didn't get to keep any of them. that being said, emma is such a vain character, that if i was wearing a coat that had an incredible bag, i would find myself delivering it over the shoulder to show off the coat because that's the sort of girl that emma is. so it was a nice, like, in to the character. >> you have a very musical cast there with you on set. >> mm-hmm. >> i hear you guys would break into song. >> yeah. yeah. >> we have a tape of that. let's check it out. >> oh, gosh.

this is us dancing to one of the songs that we put together. we had a lot of time, guys. >> quite a bit of time. >> we had a lot of time to do stuff. >> you have been so busy. you were in the new "x men" movie. [ applause ] it's coming out this spring. so what can you tell us about that? just give us the whole script. give it away. >> um, no. but i will say that i get to play a very sassy, very aggressive russian lady who doesn't really, you know, care what other people think of her, and i'm not quite like that. so it's a fun energy to go into work every day. >> i tell you what, it's amazing. people, do not stop for cars, but we're glad you did. we're looking forward to seeing you in "emma." it's in select theaters on friday. sara and keke, they are here. what's coming up on our show this afternoon, ladies?

>> first of all, sara and i want that dress. >> it's beautiful on you. >> you cannot have it. >> michael, we have a great "strahan, sara and keke" coming up for you this afternoon. we're sitting down with the big man himself. not michael, but terry crews. >> oh, the bigger guy. okay. >> plus, we have a big surprise in store for an 8-year-old who helped pay off his school's lunch debt. >> and we're putting the audience to the test in a special game in honor of presidents' day. >> be sure to check that out at lunchtime. up next on "gma," a look at the new miniseries event about our first president. we'll be right back. [ cheers and applause ] ies event about our

othroughout the country for the past twelve years, mr. michael bloomberg is here.

vo: leadership in action. mayor bloomberg and president obama worked together in the fight for gun safety laws, to improve education, and to develop innovative ways to help teens gain the skills needed to find good jobs. obama: at a time when washington is divided in old ideological battles he shows us what can be achieved when we bring people together to seek pragmatic solutions. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message. [ applause ] back now with a miniseries event perfect for president's day. "washington" tells the life story of our first president. from soldier to the reluctant leader of a new country. >> washington is without question the greatest leader in american history. >> reporter: now the miniseries event, "washington," is taking viewers on an epic journey from

ambitious young soldier to america's first president. >> you'll see him making terrible misjudgments, making terrible mistakes and i don't know we know that about him, but it's a great thing to know because then you can see him as he grows older feeling what the result of those mistakes were, and trying to make sure he won't make the same mistakes again. >> reporter: executive produced by the pulitzer prizing winning presidential historian doris kearns goodwin, featuring dramatic recreations. >> i, george washington -- >> reporter: in interviews with historians and scholars. >> what makes us a nation? two things, the constitution and george washington. >> george washington really defined what a president was. the constitution is pretty vague in some ways about what the presidency represents. i mean, he had to make decisions right from the start. i mean, almost everything he did even like giving the first state of the union which is in the constitution, but he went there in person to the congress, how

do you create a precedent for what the presidents will become afterwards? i think he had that sense of sort of dignity that he knew that respect mattered, and he was going to be an example for the people at large. [ applause ] >> it's so good. i saw a little bit of it last night. you can check out the three-part miniseries event, "washington" tonight at 8:00 p.m. on the history channel. tis better than the criminal in democrathe white house.esident we all have progressive plans to address the big challenges facing our country. what makes me different, is i've been working for ten years outside of washington, to end the corporate takeover of our democracy, and to return power to the american people. i started need to impeach to hold this lawless president accountable. i'm proposing big reforms like term limits...

...a national referendum... ...and ending corporate money in politics. as president, i'll declare climate change an emergency on day 1. and, use those powers to finally address the climate crisis. and, i've spent 30 years building a successful international business. so, i can take on donald trump on the economy - and beat him. i'm tom steyer and i approve this message - because there is nothing more powerful than the unified voice of the american people.

"good morning america" is sponsored by sleep number. don't miss the ultimate sleep number event only at a sleep number store. >> good morning, sunshine. >> good morning, sunshine. >> that's our new campaign. >> i love it. i really love it. >> we hope everyone enjoys their day. have a wonderful holiday weekend. people are off today? >> is that true? are you guys off today? >> have a great day.
