want to g to the big story we've been following, though. the ongoing coronavirus emergency. our dr. jen ashton and her team have been answering hundreds of questions from "gma" viewers. she is back now with more on that. thank you for joining us once again for our second hour. before we get to the questions, though, walk us through some of the latest developments here. >> so, again, the numbers are changing literally by the hour. but globally we're at approximately 102,000 cases. here in the u.s. approximately 230 cases. again, these numbers are likely significantly underestimated because we don't know how many people are truly infected. so this really represents the sicker end of that spectrum so really tip of the iceberg. >> let's get some more of those viewer questions. what's the one thing people keep asking you about? >> i got a great question from tess on twitter who asked for people who have been infected with the virus and recovered, what's the average time from infection to recovery? unknown. that's part of this transmission

dynamics. we don't really understand how this virus behaves. remember, it's less than three months old for all intents and purposes. so from time to exposure to symptoms to recovery where someone is no longer shedding the virus really unknown at this point. people are thinking one day from exposure to symptoms approximately to as far out as two to three weeks. >> wow. it's a 3-month-old virus. we don't know a lot yet as you pointed out. what about pets, if we're symptomatic, should we not be hugging our cats, dogs? >> the cat data, dan, i'm sorry to tell you this is lagging. carla on instagram asked me about pets. so many people concerned about their pets. there have been two case reports of small dogs inside china who were found to have the virus in their nose when they were living with someone who was known to be infected. the dogs were not showing symptoms. so, again, in the world of veterinary medicine, the field of zoonosis, as we say it, they're watching it. it doesn't appear dogs can become sick from us. again, it's unknown about cats,

but common sense precautions. if you are feeling sick maybe you want to keep some distance from your pet. >> can i ask a question, the dealer's choice question. i've asked you this before off off camera but i think it's worth talking about on camera. we've talked about the concern, consternation over the fact that there aren't enough testing kits out there. just say we flood the zone with testing kitsshould and we test millions of americans and find out many of us have this virus, what do we do? are we all going into quarantin? >> probably not obviously but you're talking about the terms incidence and prevalence which is how common this virus is, because it is thought to be affecting so many people who either show no symptoms at all or very, very mild symptoms. we do need to eventually start testing people to see if they've been exposed in the past, to see with surveillance testing, blood and swabs, we're not even remotely there. but if we find that it's so, so common, and, again, over 80% are

mild, it just helps us with the understanding of where to focus our attention and, again, that will be on the most vulnerable population. >> it's important to put those numbers into context as well. because as tests go up there will be more cases. >> exactly. >> dr. ashton, thank you very much. keep sending dr. ashton your questions on twitter and instagram using the #askgma. she and her team will continue to answer them. thank you. >> you bet. >> thanks, dr. jen. coming up, after a major controversy around an oprah's book club pick, oprah herself opening up about it. what went down? it's our "gma" cover story. and up ahead, when celine met celine, the iconic singer having a ball with a glamorous look-alike at her concert. that coming up in "pop news." concert. that coming up in "pop news."

>> it's a very fraught conversation, and i think it's been simmering for such a long time, especially in the publishing industry. >> reporter: the publisher eventually canceled the book tour saying they and the author were receiving threats. >> i fundamentally, fundamentally believe in the right of anyone to use their imagination and their skills to tell stories. if one author i felt, one artist is silenced, we're all in danger of the same. >> reporter: oprah defending her decision to choose the book invited a panel of latino writers to discuss the fallout on her apple tv plus show "oprah's book club." >> you are a king and queen maker. was this a wake-up call for you? >> reporter: the women pressed winfrey to re-examine the way st ro boo iyoub, at have been writ mexican-americans. noloing for latinx writers. i will tell you, i'm guilty of that because i haven't looked for any particular race or for

any book. i just look for the book that i particularly like or somebody recommends to me. i will now because my eyes have been opened to see, behave differently, and that's the most i can say. [ applause ] >> reporter: winfrey called the conversation a seminal moment that she hopes will leading to lasting change. >> she doesn't shy from controversy. she embraces all sides, lets everyone's voice be heard, and i think she can easily move on from this particular incident. >> and oprah is now receiving some attention for another book club pick. "my dark vanessa" initially her march selection faced criticism from another author who says the book is eerily similar to her memoir. ultimately reviews found no plagiarism but oprah's spokesperson said we had plans to choose "my dark vanessa" as the next book club selection, but ultimately decided not to move forward. >> so interesting how she in this case with "american dirt" leans into the controversy. >> well, that's what people said.you kn thewereble to have

a frank discussion and hopefully learn from it to make change going forward. >> seems like she may have. diane, thank you. appreciate it. over to whit. >> thanks so much. now to daylight saving. we are springing forward overnight and we need to reset our internal clocks in addition to our physical clocks so here to tell us how to prepare our bodies and lose an hour of sleep is health and science journalist max lugavere. thanks for being here. we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> this is always a scary night for morning news anchors on the weekends, right? we lose it, lose our sleep. it's a real problem. first we want to talk about food though because what you eat actually impacts how we spring forward. so what foods do you recommend? >> absolutely. so we want to maximize our sleep and so we've got foods that will provide the nutrients that do that. on this side of the table, we have foods that are rich in vitamin a. we've got sweet potatoes and we've got dhar rots which are rich the vitamin a and wild salmon that

provides a form of vitamin a that is plug and play for our bodies. why vitamin a is so important, it serves as a precursor to a protein that sets the master clock in our brains. >> what about the sardines? >> sardines are rich in -- actually you can also get vitamin a in sardines. over here in the middle of the table we have foods rich in dha fats. that's one of the most important structural building blocks of the brain and it's also important -- they've shown in studies that when rats were deprived of this fat, they were unable to produce melatonin in their brains. >> we wouldn't want to deprive the rats. >> we wouldn't want to deprive the rats. but it's safe to assume that, you know, being mammals that the same similar thing would happen in humans because we know how important dha fat is for the brain. eggs, sardine, then we have plant-based forms, walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseed. >> great. let's move to the next station. our bedtime routine, it's very important. if you do the wrong things during the day, you could be in trouble. e. a lot of people metabolize

caffeine pretty slowly. so you want to make sure you're cutting caffeine consumption to 2:00 p.m. at the latest. everybody is different ultimately. but caffeine actually acts on your brain the same way bright light does and over here we have a clock signifying 8:00 p.m. you want to curtail your food consumption to about 8:00 p.m. and not eat for a few hours before you go to sleep. that can disrupt the clocks in your periphery in your body. >> got it. it's giving you energy, keeping you awake. let's talk about the light we take in. this is tough. everybody wants to check their phone before they go to bed and looking at it and watching tv and watching screens. you say that's a problem. >> i'm guilty of it too. the problem is bright light emitted from our laptops, from our e-readers, from our smartphones, from our tvs all trick our brains into thinking it's daytime when it's not. so it hinders the reparative and restorative aspects of sleep and can make it harder to get to sleep. and actually what researchers have shown is that by wearing blue light blocking glasses before sleep, you can actually mitigate some of that blue slight. i always recommend, you know, limiting your use of devices before bed and if you have to use your devices working into the wee hours then these glasses

are a great option. >> i tried some of these and thought it worked if you used it consistently. >> for two to three hours before bed. they sound gimmicky but they can work. >> got it. we're okay with gimmicks here at "gma" every now and then. max, thank you very much. we appreciate it. and remember that brand-new book called "the genius life" out march 17th. you can preorder it today. rob, over to you. >> you look great in those glass, whit. yeah. it makes you look smart finally. no, i'm kidding. i'm kidding. i kid you. >> good one, fella. >> you know you look fantastic. one of the smartest guys in the room as i look at dan. all right, check this out. our moment for right now is somebody who is gifted athletically but may not be so smart. the northeast has tuckerman's ravine, and this is jackson hole which is korbut's cooler where a bunch of extreme athletes go there and they compete for the most amazing runs and aerial acrobatics and crown the king and queen. did this recently and each win a

both through work and her personal life. and when she realized there was nowhere for people coping with that kind of grief to go to vent and be reminded they're not alone, she created it. >> he's not coming. >> reporter: heartbreak, break-ups -- >> it's over. okay. it's over! >> reporter: and loss. >> you were such a great dog. >> reporter: an intense and a feeling that 29-year-old naasz perez is looking to change with her monthly support group for the heavy-hearted. >> so good to see you. >> reporter: i stopped by to see how her group is helping people heal. >> heart broken anonymous has one purpose, to help and give hope to the heartbroken. >> reporter: strangers sit in a circle and open up sharing their sadness and frustrations while the group silently offers emotional support, something naasz says she needed after experiencing her own heartbreak. >> it was the most debilitating

thing in my entire life. like i was just having nightmares. i couldn't sleep. you know, i have friends and family obviously that are supportive but when you talk to someone not going through the same thing, it doesn't feel the same. >> reporter: she stresses this isn't therapy, just a place to connect over life's challenges that can otherwise be so isolating. >> it's kind of silly how, you know, in society yctor's note a yoreeang with otiol, you know, trauma, there's >> reporter: the group britogeta e emotions, we all have heartbreaks. >> reporter: singles and couples. >> it's good to just learn how to listen with your heart and, you know, every time i come here i wind up listening and it compels me to share. >> reporter: offering catharsis, a sense of community and some much needed comfort. and is this giving you a little bit of hope moving forward? >> it definitely is. >> it helps put pieces of me back together.

>> you know, no one can really take your heartbreak away, but if you can come here and remind yourself that you're not alone and that there's other people going through similar situations, hopefully that is somewhat cathartic and therapeutic in itself. >> reporter: i got to tell you, it really is so moving to be in that room to hear how vulnerable people are willing to be and see the kind of connection even friendships that can lead to. naz believes in this so much she pays out of her own pocket to rent that meeting space here in los angeles once a month, and she's now hoping that others will pick up on this idea to expand heart broken anonymous to other cities. guys? >> it's a really cool idea and takes a lot of bravery to talk about this. marci, thank you very much. coming up on the show, today marks the beginning of our month of mindfulness and we're diving into intuitive eating and how to fundamentally change your relationship with food without giving up on any of your favorites.

♪ i got you on my mind back now with the start of our month of mindfulness introducing you to healthy habits anybody can do. first up, intuitive eating. this is a provocative and counterintuitive approach which i sometimes refer to as the anti-diet. we spoke with one of the designers of this approach, the architects of this approach, her

name is evelyn tribole as well as one of our colleagues who is giving it a try. ♪ elena genovese-picard is a busy mom of two young children and a tireless producer right here at "good morning america" who has waslittle is ttrrythg th there itas nevugh. the constant pressure to do more was always when i failed. >> reporter: last year she decided to let go of diets for good. turning to intuitive eating to change her relationship with food and with her body. evelyn tribole, the co-author of "intuitive eating" says it's a form of self-care that gives people freedom from the cycle of restriction and shame that comes with dieting. >> intuitive eating is an inside job. you're listening to what your body is telling you. what feels good, what tastes good. dieting is all about

external rules and doing things people tell you with no regard to what's going on with you. having mindfulness is so important and so helpful to access this in terms of having awareness and connection to your body without judgment. >> reporter: critics say intuitive eating is not good for long-term weight loss. but evelyn says that's not the point. the point she says is to change your relationship to food. one rule, she says, there are no good foods or bad foods. instead she says you should pay attention to how you feel when you're eating. >> so an intuitive eater will s body is feeling, what their hunger level is like, how the food is tasting, the different textures and sensations, what it looks like and ultimately is it satisfying? >> reporter: as for elena listening to her body's cues has allowed her to enjoy her food instead of fearing it. big shoutout to elena, very brave for her to come on and talk about this stuff. so, guy, let me give you three quick tips from evelyn who

i love, by the way, and actually work with personally. first tip, stop the war internally with food. make peace with food. so, for example -- and, by the way, i should say when you make peace with food and allow yourself to eat what you want, that doesn't mean you shouldn't eat healthy, you should but you don't have to just have healthy food. you can also with dinner maybe have a piece of bread, maybe have a brownie. >> can it be that big? >> it can be that big. >> because that's a big one. >> you should be listening to your body's cues as you eat it because you may not need to eat all of it. and when you're restricting yourself, evelyn's thesis is, then you get into this mode of deprivation and binging. >> that's why you actually have added sugar back in to your diet. >> yes. >> viewers may notice you're eating again. >> yes, i eat again in part because i met evelyn. here's tip number two. make dining an experience. instead of just setting up, you know, your take-out carton, set the table. have a proper table setting and then it'll feel like this is a meal, this is a time where you

can pay attention because, again, the core as i understand it of her approach is let your body tell you when you're full instead of just feeding your ego, instead of just -- >> i have this dangerous relationship. there is a trigger, if i bite into something i like, it unleashes something violent and aggressive. >> yes, yes, yes. >> i don't know that i'm full. i just keep going, especially take-out. >> that's exactly what pie problem with sugar was. it's like you threw blood in the water with a shark. you go crazy. and her point is you can slow down and start to see that your body has natural satiety cues. people like you and me are not listen to them and that's possible to do. meditation is a big part of this. it can give you self-awareness. third thing and this is really right on point when it comes to paying attention when you're eating so you can listen to your body. don't eat with your phone and the newspaper or whatever next to you. just have the food. and it might help to also have other human beings. we live in a time when we're starved for social connection so actually talk to other people or
