this morning more than 2,400 passengers on the "grand princess" cruise now ordered to stay in their rooms until they can be evacuated. a 71-year-old man who sailed on the "grand princess" last month died of covid-19, the state's first death linked to the illness. at least 20 people on board reportedly showing symptoms. a nurse from northern california now under quarantine after treating an infected patient issuing this anonymous statement through a union representative criticizing the way the cdc has handled the outbreak. >> the national cdc would not initiate the test. >> reporter: seattle has seen the virus spread to at least 70 patients. take a look at the city's iconic pike place market, normally bustling with tourists and shoppers, on thursday, virtually deserted. >> it's like a ghost town. >> reporter: some of the emerald city's biggest employers ordering workers to stay home. overnight microsoft and linkedin confirming one worker from each company testing positive for the virus. amazon and facebook already closing their offices until at least monday amid the outbreak.

>> well, about two days ago we had a piece of paper slid underneath our door telling us that the cdc determined that there's some people on the boat that were symptomatic and that we were having to head back to san francisco and miss our stop in mexico. >> so we can see you in your room there now. it's our understanding that you're now confined to that room but passengers were allowed to mingle even after it had been discovered that there were previous passengers who tested positive. is that concerning to you? >> it wasn't concerning because we all figured we'd been together and mingling for the last 13 days so if we were exposed to it, it would have happened already. >> what are the conditions like for you right now? are you getting food? being able to see your parents? >> we're next door and there's a little door between our balconies that is open and so i've been able to see them and play some cards with them. >> good. we're glad you can keep an eye on them. i want to ask, did you have any

concer a cruise in the first place given everything that's going on with the coronavirus right now and what has happened to previous cruise ships in recent weeks? >> we did have some concerns and especially because my parents are elderly and my mom has asthma, so we talked it over and we just figured that we -- that there was a small chance, but it was worth taking. >> do you feel like you're getting information you need from the crew and the cruise line at this point? you have what you need? >> the captain is coming on every two or three hours to keep us updated as to what's going on and what the cdc is telling him and what's being required of us. >> well, debbi, thank you very much. i wish you well, i wish your parents well and the same for all the other passengers on board with you right now. >> thank you and let's just pray everything comes back negative. we should know about 9:00 this morning pacific time. >> be well. >> well, they're still in good spirits.

i guess they figure if you're exposed what can you do but follow the guidelines and hope for the best. >> self-quarantine. so many people affected around the globe. thousands of new cases of coronavirus were reported overnight. the number now topping 98,000 worldwide. james longman is in london where the virus has now turned deadly. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, amy. good morning. here in the uk we've now had our first death from coronavirus. the prime minister's office saying it's likely it will spread in a significant way and it seems that the way it started in china is now cresting here in europe. italy's cases keep jumping and now the vatican has its first case. a medical clinic there has now been shut down for sterilization and take a look. this gives you a sense of how quiet major tourist spots around the world are. rome, spanish steps as they normally are and now and a similar picture in mecca, saudi arabia, look at what it usually looks like and now that it's been restricted. the holiest site in islam. millions of people are being affected by this. but there is a glimmer of hope in asia. the world health organization has said the spread there

appears to be declining so you've got to hope a decline follows now for the rest of the world. they do warn that this virus is still very much a threat for all nations. george. >> james longman, thanks. the consequences of the coronavirus are also cascading across the global economy. wall street bracing for another wild day after the dow plugged nearly a thousand points thursday. rebecca jarvis tracking it all from the new york stock exchange. good morning, rebecca. >> reporter: good morning, george. that's right. just as american families are asking this question, how might we deal with the coronavirus and the outbreak, wall street is asking that very question. how will the consumer respond? as consumers we make up 70% of the economy. our spending matters and businesses have already cut back dramatically from boeing to ford to amazon, all telling their employees not to travel. we've seen it reflected dramatically in airline stocks across the board. united, american, jetblue, all getting crushed. they have been waiving those change fees allowing people to

cancel, but that hasn't helped as far as the stocks are concerned. and for the cruise companies, those stocks have been cut in half, and when we look at this virus and the impact it might have on the economy here, we can look to china and what's already happened there. u.s. companies with a presence there, for example, starbucks which does about 10% of its business in china, they say that in this quarter they, george, have seen sales dip 50% because of all the stores they've had to shutter as a result of this virus. >> what a huge drop. you mentioned companies banning travel for their employees. you're also seeing more and more companies telling their workers to work from home. >> reporter: this is a giant experiment. we heard it from whit earlier in the program. a number of companies in seattle have told their employees to stay home. amazon, facebook, microsoft among the companies and, george, i have heard from a number of business executives who are contemplating the same measures for their companies. that could apply to millions of employees here in the u.s., george. >> more to come.

rebecca jarvis, thanks very much. amy. well, as thousands of people self-quarantine here in new york and those passengers are told to stay in their rooms on the "grand princess," a lot of questions about how well these quarantines will work. let's bring in our chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton. we heard about those passengers and heard from them who are stuck on to cruise ship. the last time people self-quarantined on a cruise ship it did not end well. why is this still the best course of action? >> obviously as most people can imagine you have a lot of people in close quarters. in general we think the closer and longer the contact, the greater the risk of spread or transmission and to decide whether or not to keep people on a cruise ship like that it's risk versus benefit. it's what are the risks of keeping them on and what are the risks of letting them off? what are the benefits of keeping them on and what are the benefits if they're let off? very difficult risk/benefit analysis. >> we heard from james longman, good news potentially, in china now which is where it all began

the rate of spread as declined. what does that mean for the rest of us? >> in some ways it could be an example. china took extremely aggressive measures. obviously they were not able to completely wall off the outbreak from spreading to other countries, but be clear, the reason we're seeing numbers allegedly drop right now in china is because of the interventions that they took. so, again, there may be some lesson in that for the rest of the world. >> in the meantime, more than 2,000 people right here in new york are self-quarantining. is that going to be the new normal, and for how long? >> it may be, amy. i'll tell you why. we might be changing phases now from trying to contain or stop or prevent this outbreak from coming here to mitigate or slowing its spread so we talk about things like nondrug interventions, things likescollr gatherings, telework or teleschooling if possible. these measures not only protect the individual but potentially protect the most vulnerable

which is the elderly and older population. >> dr. jen, we appreciate it so much. and you can send in your questions for dr. jen on twitter and instagram all morning with the #askgma. she will answer some of them live in our next half hour. george. looking forward to having you back. we turn to the race for the white house, two-man race on the democratic side after elizabeth warren dropped out in the wake of her shutout super tuesday. both joe biden and bernie sanders hoping to get her endorsement. mary bruce is in washington with the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, george. well, senator elizabeth warren billed herself as a progressive candidate with a plan for everything but now that she's dropped out of this race, the big question this morning, what's her plan for what comes next? this morning, elizabeth warren's endorsement is up for grabs. >> well, let's take a deep breath and spend a little time on that. we don't have to decide that this minute. >> reporter: overnight bernie sanders courted warren's supporters. >> tonight we invite senator warren's supporters into our campaign. >> reporter: progressives are hoping she'll back bernie sanders.

he needs a boost after joe biden's super tuesday surge, but warren is making it clear it's not that simple. >> i was told at the beginning of this whole undertaking that there are two lanes, a progressive lane that bernie sanders is the incumbent for and a moderate lane that joe biden is the incumbent for and there's no room for anyone else in this. i thought that wasn't right, but evidently i was wrong. >> reporter: sanders and biden have both spoken with warren. in a tweet biden calling her one of the fiercest of fighters for middle class families, adding, we needed her voice in this race. not lost on warren or her supporters, this is now a two-man race. warren now reflecting on all those pinky promises she made to little girls across the country. >> i'm running for president because that's what girls do. >> all those little girls who are going to have to wait four

>> reporter: now warren was played in isn and veen a a trap question for every woman who must decide whether to address sexism and risk being labeled a whiner or simply deny it altogether. cecilia. >> she said she has a lot more to say on that one. mary, thank you. we turn to a blistering new criticism of attorney general william barr and his handling of the mueller report. a federal judge calling his public statement, quote, misleading and distorted. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas has more on this. demanding to see the censured portions basically saying barr cannot be trusted. >> reporter: good morning. that's right. judge reggie walton who was appointed by president george w. bush issued those scathing comments as he oversees a lawsuit asking for the full release of the mueller report. he challenges barr's very integrity and questions whether, quote, barr made a calculated attempt to influence public discourse about the mueller report in favor of president trump. walton goes on to say that he

has, quote, grave concerns about barr's actions and that the attorney general barr's lack of candor specifically calls into question attorney general barr's credibility. barr has flatly denied claims he was misleading about the mueller report when he says he quickly and largely released. sources close to barr telling me this morning the judge is wrong on his facts and his comments on his intentions are inappropriate. amy? >> all right, pierre. thanks for the latest. we turn to those missing idaho sib listeni siblin siblings. the mother set to face a judge today as the fbi puts out a new call for help focusing on a trip the family took to yellowstone last september. diane macedo has the story. >> reporter: this morning, the fbi is asking for the public's help after releasing new photos of lori vallow's missing children, 7-year-old j.j. and 17-year-old tylee. they say this september 8th trip to yellowstone national park is the last time tylee was seen. now the bureau is asking for any other photos from the park that day that might show lori, her brother alex, the kids or their car.

vallow seen here arriving at the airport in idaho on thursday was just extradited from hawaii to face charges for felony child desertion and misdemeanors like contempt of court. >> let the record reflect that miss daybell is now in the courtroom. >> reporter: on wednesday the 46-year-old appeared in a hawaii court, invoking her fifth amendment right, standing silent with arms folded. >> she is invoking her fifth amendment rights to remain silent. she should not be questioned without an attorney present. >> reporter: vallow had been living in this condo with her new husband, chad daybell, after abandoning her home in idaho when police came looking for her children. her attorney says she plans to defend herself against the charges. as for the kids neither has been seen since september but this weekend lori's husband chad told abc news, quote, the kids are safe. has not elaborated since. >> see if we hear anything new in court today. thank you, diane. we are following a lot of other stories including the latest on harry and meghan's final royal tour. they are back in the uk

who are here traveling were all talking about these high touch surfaces. how long does this virus survive on these hard surfaces? we don't know that answer yet but one cdc official suggested it could be up to a full day. so this morning we are looking at how many of those high touch surfaces we come across on a long commute, the ones everybody puts their hands on. from door handles to elevator buttons to touch screens each day we touch hundreds maybe even thousands of surfaces and might not even realize it. so we decided to do our own experiment. so we're starting our journey to the airport now. we're getting on the d.c. metro, and we're going to see how many things we touch along the way. right from the start, the escalator. you might hold the handrail and touch all those buttons and screens when you buy a ticket. >> i'm touching these buttons a lot. >> reporter: on the train you'll grab those bars just like everyone before you. we've been touching so many things it seems like a good opportunity to go ahead and use that hand sanitizer.

but at the airport a sign of the times. so everyone is washing their hands in the restroom right now. one guy even told me he wished people washed their hands this much before the coronavirus. we board the plane. if you use wipes make sure to read the label to see how long it takes to kill bacteria. that can range from 30 seconds to a few minutes. this is the most important thing. in one study sponsored by the faa researchers found that the bottom of the tray table had less bacteria than the top but armrests had even more germs than tray tables. and don't forget that air vent but if you're healthy experts say don't even open it. air on a plane is refreshed every few minutes. that's more often than the air in an average office building. but let's say someone next to you sneezes, experts say you should close your air vent. an open one may help push their germs right at you. >> also you might want to ask

him to turn his vent on because that will take whatever he's forcing out and take it like right down to the floor. >> reporter: some good advice there. look, at the end of the day it's about how close you are to someone who is sick. the research actually shows that the best place to sit on a plane may just be the window seat because you have less contact with other people. amy. >> great, i've got the aisle. thank you so much, gio. super excited. let's go back to dr. ashton. "gma" viewers have been sending hundreds of questions about coronavirus to her and to her team of doctors and they're going to answer some of them now. dr. ashton, what are people ask -- asking you and your team most right now? >> oh my fwogosh. first of all, we're getting hundreds of questions and we are doing our best to answer them. working around the clock. i want to introduce you to our team at the abc med unit. these are all senior and chief residents, real doctors. we're fielding all of these questions and i think the most -- one of the most common ones came from gina on twitter. she said she's had these

symptoms, a terrible cold with a sore throat two weeks ago. is it possible that people are getting the coronavirus and will never even know? that is really important because that really speaks to the fact that we need to start testing more including people who not only have mild symptoms but may have no symptoms. that's how we're going to get a grip on this virus and how common or prevalent it is in the u.s. another big question came from molly on facebook. she asked, i'm five months pregnant. what should i be aware of? am i any more prone to getting sick? very, very limited data so far on pregnant women and this novel coronavirus. there's been about 19 patients reported in the literature. it's not known whether they're more susceptible, but it does appear that there is no evidence right now of direct transmission from the mother to the fetus. so that's going to be something we're going to be watching because we know that pregnant women have a compromised or lowered immune system. >> i know a lot of people are asking questions about doctors'

visits. what's your advice on that? >> listen, same thing as if you had the flu, you don't want to overburden doctors' offices and ers and urgent care. if you have a provider be in touch with that person by phone before you just go in and, again, doctors and health care providers are getting slammed now with questions, tests, all kinds of people with viral syndromes, not just coronavirus. this is going to be evolving. >> thanks so much and, of course, keep sending your questions for dr. jen on twitter and instagram with the #askgma. she and her team will answer more live in our next hour and tonight you can see a special two-hour "20/20" on the coronavirus outbreak at 9:00, 8:00 central right here on abc. >> so much information on that. also ahead in our next hour the tiktok videos about the coronavirus getting billions of views. what your children should know about them. and coming up next, president clinton is opening up like never before about his affair with monica lewinsky. we'll tell you what he is now saying. we'll tell you what he is now saying.

questions from "gma" viewers online and they are back now. dr. ashton, what are you hearing? what's top of mind? >> so many questions and we're working constantly to answer them. so please keep them coming. one great one from laura on facebook asked about pre-existing medical conditions. would asthma be an underlying health condition for the virus? you know, it is known right now that older people and those with chronic or underlying medical conditions are at higher risk. there is a long list but the big ones we tend to think about, things like asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, but anyone with a chronic or weakened immune system, so, of course, transplant patients in general, pregnant women are considered to be immune suppressed so we're still in a stage of collecting the clinical data and that list is likely evolving. we also got a great question from lynn on facebook who asked, if a nursing or breast-feeding mom has the virus but it's undiagnosed, can she pass the virus to her baby?

there is no evidence at this time that the virus can be transmitted in breast milk but a recent article just out in a big ob/gyn journal really is recommending even though it's not ideal, if there is a known case in the mom, temporary separation from the infant out of an abundance of caution but right now we'll follow that closely. >> we know you are and coming up videos like these about coronavirus are going viral online. it's leading to a lot of questions from children. we'll have a reality check on what to tell them. demi lovato's powerful interview, the moment that led to her overdose and how she is coming back from it. look who is here. cake masters, buddy valastro and duff goldman will judge sara haines and me when we face off in a "gma" cakeoff. we have a great audience and we will be right back. s20 ultra 5g powered by verizon 5g ultra wideband. 5g ultra wideband is so much faster than even my home internet.

hand washing video has almost 3 million views, and tiktok users across the globe creating their own coronavirus memes. the world health organization posting its first ever video on the site. but there are also posts of people showing what it's like to be in quarantine, funny for some but kind of scary for younger kids. >> my kids have heard a lot about the virus and they just confided in me yesterday that they're not sure if school is going to close and they're nervous that their grandparents are going to get sick. here's what the experts advise. get in front of this. know what your kids are watching and hearing. let them know what's being done to keep them safe. keep your information honest and simple. validate their concerns, and be available for questions. now, some kids i talked to are freaked out about the coronavirus and others are, meh. so one thing is for sure for us parents. we need to share our own worries with other adults and if

possible shield our kids from that fear. our job as parents is to make our kids feel safe to the best of our abilities which can feel pretty daunting at times, amy. >> yeah, i know, certainly but it's all good advice. in fact, we're going to get some more now. let's go to psychiatrist dr. janet taylor who's joining us from sarasota, florida. dr. taylor, we can control to an extent what our kids see on tv but social media is an entirely different beast. they have their phones looking at tiktok videos, everything from information to something that's frightening so how do we manage this as parents? >> well, you're right, amy. they are watching but as parents we'll take any port of entry to talk to them. so check in with them. it's a great opportunity to say what do you know, how do you feel? in fact, you can explore and get information together. >> what about if you're walking down the street and seem people wearing masks. that could frighten some children. what do you tell them? >> well, as an adult sometimes it frightens you like do you think should i be wearing one but what we know is that we can

get their reaction, ask them to tell us how they feel. explain how the virus is spread, and teach them how to wash their hand, for example, 20 seconds as you can sing twinkle twinkle little star, say your a, b, cs and also encourage them to greet people and certainly say hi but without touching adults and also other children. >> also in our reporting we've been talking about schools closing. what do you tell your kids if they're too scared to go to school because they hear reports about schools being closed? >> schools are still safe places. what we want to emphasize is a sense of normalcy. if your child is in a school that's closed it's not play time. you still want them to study and, again, it's a time to explain how the virus is spread and what symptoms may be like. for example, if they have a fever or if they have a dry cough or have trouble breathing to come to you and talk to you and then if they need to go to the doctor they can. but sometimes staying home may be safer for everyone. >> flip that around, though. if your kids see you with a cold or a cough or something they could get pretty scared. >> well, they can but the reality is we all get sick.

so it's an opportunity to talk about what their symptoms are like and explain you don't want to touch your face, you know, keep your hands out of your nose, your eyes, wash your hands constantly. if you blow your nose have one place where you can throw away the tissues and re-establish what those boundaries are, what you do when you don't feel well and the fact that they are safe. >> a lot of good advice there, dr. janet taylor, thanks. let's go to ginger. >> a "gma" moment from shelbyville, tennessee. but first let me take a selfie. look at this little one. that is not a selfie phone but she thinks it is and that's all that matters. we really loved watching her do that. that's isabel, almost 2 years old and we are so grateful you shared it.

insecure ian voiced by tom holland. brothers embarking on an extraordinary quest. >> ha, ha, yes. >> a film is so much about brotherhood and like we have a wonderful relationship anyway but i think being able to draw on your past relationships with your brothers goes a long way and really makes a difference. >> i'm playing the older brother but in real life i'm a younger brother and my character has the same kind of love and affection for his younger brother i feel like i got from my older siblings. i can't wait for my brother to see it. he's going to lose his mind. >> you did mention that your son saw the movie. >> my son saw the movie, yeah. >> what did he think. >> he loved it. >> fearlessness, my brother and i seek a map. >> it's about realizing you're stronger as a unit than you are as sort of solo character. i often find young boys have a hard time like expressing how they're feeling or their emotions or they don't communicate with each other so this film will allow them to do that without them actually

having to speak about it. there will be in a dark room and be able to cry to themselves and left it out. >> did you cry to yourself. >> i haven't seen it yet. >> they don't let tom see it. >> you haven't earned a viewing. >> they know he'll spoil it. >> so i get to watch it at the premiere with all the fans so i'll be crying with everyone else. we'll be crying in solidarity. >> it worked! the can is huge. >> a beautiful film of imagination with some core values in t i really can't wait for everyone to see it but "onward" in sheathers today so check it out. >> great. let's go to amy. >> thanks, guys. we are here with one of the most inspiring young actresses in hollywood right now. millicent simmonds is the deaf star who vowed audiences in "a quiet place" and now starring in the sequel alongside emily blunt. let's first take a look at the clip.

was a huge honor to be a part of teen vogue and to be a representative of young hollywood to meet other actors and other talent who bring so many things to the world. it was a huge honor for me and also just too, i might have this platform. i've been working with u.s. aid who is fighting for literacy, a global literacy project that gives children access to know their rights for acquisition of language. especially with deaf children who have hearing parents who have deaf children to have the opportunity to communicate with them in sign language which only can help your relationship and so i would love to encourage the industry to bring in disabled community as directors, actors, talent behind the scene, in front of the scenes and we can do it. you can see. we can do it. >> you are shining such a bright light for so many young people at home. we're saying if she can do it, i can do it. it's remarkable to see you and

tloifshg a thrive and this movie, i was raving bit. what was your reaction when director john krasinski asked you to make another one. he said, come back, do it again. >> translator: well, actually it was a bit of a surprise when we were working on the first one, i thought, oh, my gosh, this is so perfect. how could we ever replicate this? it was a massive story and just beautiful. i didn't think that we actually needed a second and then john came up with this idea and he sent me an email and we facetimed and he said here's the idea for the story and for 45 minutes we were talking with him and all we could say is, yes, yes, i love this story. sign me up right now. and it's so different than the other one.

or not he was a serial killer. after being abandoned as an infant gary said he always wondered where he came from. when he set out to find his biological father, he never imagined his search would lead him to a serial killer. >> i never started this journey to solve a cold case. >> reporter: now with the "the most dangerous animal of all" based on his best-selling book the 57-year-old reveals clues he uncovered that he claims suggest his father is the elusive zodiac killer who terrorized northern california in the late '60s and early '70s. >> why did i stumble across this psycho serial killer partway through my journey of looking for my father? launching his own nearly two-decade-long investigation finking fingerprints and this sketch to his father. but it's these cyphers that were sent that he says validate his theory. >> he insisted from the first

one to the very last one if you crack this cipher, you will have my identity. and immediately i saw my father's name. you can see it clearly, e, a, r. >> earl van best junior and spelled out junior. >> reporter: it poked holes and raised questions about his creditability. >> i would never have agreed to publish anything if it wasn't 100% truthful. >> reporter: while the zodiac killer case remains unsolved stewart says without a shadow of a doubt it is his father. >> if you provide me one shred of evidence that definitively eliminates my father as the zodiac killer, that would be the happiest day of my life. >> and the most dangerous animal of all premieres tonight on fx. up "the most dangerous animal of all premieres tonight on fx. up next,
