good morning, america. good morning, america. happy friday, everybody. a lot of people excited to see more of "the last dance" and also the nfl draft was fun from home last night. >> speaking of fun, looked like you were having some as you made an appearance there while getting in on the tradition of booing the commissioner for a good cause. but you were telling me that boo something a lot harder than it looks. you really have to dig deep. you had to dig deep and i was coughing after each boo. >> it looked painful. >> brad who is an eagles fan said he's from philly, they're used to booing so they don't cough after. >> new for you. >> they are used to it. you spank a baby in philly and they don't cry. that's how it all works. booed the commissioner last night but i'm cheering for george. george, good morning. >> good morning, michael. you're too nice to boo. that's the whole problem. >> i like that. we do have a lot of news to get to this morning. across the country, there are now nearly 870,000 confirmed

cases. and also this morning, we have a brand-new abc news poll with ipsos, finding overwhelming support for social distancing and stay-at-home orders. 86% of the country agree that they are responsible policies and not a government overreaction, and there's very little divide along party lines. 82% of republicans agree with the measures. only 17% say that they are an overreaction and an infringement on individual freedom. >> george, this comes as georgia's governor is now starting to allow nonessential businesses like gyms and hair salons to re-open. we'll talk with the mayor of atlanta in just a few minutes. but steve osunsami will start us off in atlanta with more on that and president trump touting new research on the virus. good morning, steve. >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. georgia's governor is taking all kinds of shots for re-opening bowling alleys and barber shops today, but to give you a bigger picture of the debate, i'm standing in front of a hair salon that's reopening today, and they tell us they are fully booked. even the president who is a

friend of georgia's governor is disagreeing with this decision. the trump administration this morning says it has growing confidence from an administration study suggesting that the summer will not be good for the coronavirus, but they're still warning americans against changing behaviors. >> the findings confirm that the virus survives better in colder and drier environments and does less well in warmer and more humid environments. >> reporter: the president was brainstorming ideas after an official said that their research found that uv rays and disinfectants like bleach and alcohol work well against the virus. comments that were immediately rejected by medical experts. >> supposing we hit the body with a tremendous -- whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and i think you said that hasn't been checked but you're going to test it. then i see the disinfectant knocks it out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that by

injection inside or almost a cleaning. as you see, it gets in the lungs and does a tremendous number on the lungs so it will be interesting to check that. >> reporter: the makers of lysol have come out saying that under no circumstance should our disinfectant products be administered into the human body or through injection, ingestion or any other route. president trump turned to task force member dr. birx to ask what she thought of the heat and light. >> that is a treatment. >> reporter: jon karl questioned dhs official bill bryan about the president's comment. >> the president mentioned the idea of cleaners, bleach. there's no scenario that that could be injected into a person, is there? >> no, i'm here to talk about the finding that we had in the study. we don't do that within our labs. >> reporter: but without any verified ways of stopping the virus, georgia families and businesses are still getting ready to re-open. today is the first day back to business for salons, bowling alleys and barbershops that

closed during the stay-it-home orders, an issue in which georgia's governor and the president disagree. >> i said you make your own decision. i told him that. i said you're not under guidelines but i'm letting you make your own decision but i want people to be safe and i want the people in georgia to be safe. >> reporter: at sanctuary salon in the atlanta suburbs being closed for more than a month nearly closed their salon. their appointments are now booked for three weeks solid. >> when the governor was announcing it was monday, before he finished getting it out of his mouth, our phones were blowing up. texts, calls, they all want back in. >> reporter: they say the precautions they're taking this morning are the same they would take if they had opened three weeks from now. >> we'll be doing temporal thermometer checks on clients and employees every day as they come in and prescreening them the day before when we confirm their appointment. >> reporter: many business owners are making different decisions. fred runs seven restaurants in the atlanta area and even though

the governor is allowing restaurants to have dine-in service starting monday, he's still keeping it to curbside and delivery only. >> we don't even let people inside the building anymore. we're really thinking about the long-term health of our guests, our community, our staff. >> reporter: the state of oklahoma is also re-opening parts of its state economy today. there are many people who are watching what's happening here in georgia, george, who say that the governor is taking a gamble, but who also hope that that gamble pays off. george? >> okay, steve, thanks very much. let's bring in the mayor of atlanta. keisha lance bottoms joins us. mayor bottoms, thank you for joining us this morning. i want to put up that cover from "the atlanta journal-constitution" this morning, re-opening today. it's happening today in the state of georgia, so what is your message as this process starts? what's the most important thing you want the people of atlanta and georgia and the country to know about this? >> well, good morning, george. i'm glad to see that you and your wife are feeling better. what i would say is simply just stay home.

listen to the scientists and there is nothing essential about going to a bowling alley or giving a manicure in the middle of a pandemic. it is -- it's necessary that we continue to distance ourselves to the extent that we have had any type of relief in the state. it's because we have been aggressive, especially in the metro atlanta area, and socially distancing and asking people to stay home. >> but, you know, the governor is insisting this is being guided by state health officials, that it's driven by data. did he explain that to you and what did you say to him? >> he has not explained that to me, but i'm looking at data that shows that our numbers are not going down. we are still having thousands upon thousands of people testing positive. our death rate is continuing to go up, and what -- the way that it's been explained to me by our public health officials is

simply because we may have reached one peak doesn't mean that we won't reach another and to the extent that we have any relief, again, in our numbers, it's because we followed the experts. we've listened to the science and we've stayed home over the past few weeks. and i think to make an assumption that we are out of the woods is not based on anything other than a desire to open up businesses and what i believe is that there are some who are willing to sacrifice lives for the sake of the economy, and that's unacceptable to me. >> boy, that is a powerful statement. are you surprised to see that you're on the same side of president trump on this question? is there anything more you think you should be doing right now? >> i am surprised to see i'm on the same side as president trump and as mayor, certainly the governor's orders supersedes my authority but his authorities

supersedes my voice so what we're doing in atlanta is trying to make sure people have food on the table, that they have access to small business loans through our city. we've even set up a beauty and barbershop relief fund. so we are trying to step in the gap, telling people, you don't have to pay your water bills right now. those are the things that we need to be thinking about as leaders and being creative with our budgets to find ways to allow people to feel comfortable staying at home, but to open up our state today is irresponsible simply because we have hospital beds, and we we are at capacity doesn't mean we need to work to fill them up. >> mayor, thank you for your time this morning and thank you for your well wishes. >> thank you. well, now to that highly anticipated preliminary results of new york's antibody testing. if the testing is accurate, it means millions of people in the state have already come in

contact with the coronavirus, including more than 20% of new york city residents. eva pilgrim is here in new york with more on this. good morning, eva. >> reporter: good morning, amy. yeah, in order to understand this virus, health officials say we need to know who's had the virus. this antibody study gives us a glimpse into just that. this morning, news the virus may have spread more widely in new york than we ever thought. a preliminary statewide antibody study showing 14% of state residents may have had it. the numbers in new york city even higher. more than 21%. >> they had the virus, they developed the antibodies and they are now, quote/unquote, recovered. >> reporter: and while testing was limited and it's not yet known if these antibodies give immunity, and to what extent, they're considered part of the solution to eventually re-opening society. >> if these results hold up it tells us we're starting down the path of herd immunity.

>> reporter: this as a new northeastern university study finds the coronavirus was spreading in the u.s. earlier than initially reported. the researchers saying that while the world was focused on the outbreak in china, hidden outbreaks were already happening across the country. >> there was a lot of people that had -- that were exposed to the virus, that were never tested for. >> reporter: officials in california now confirming what the scientists predicted, determining that two people in santa clara county, california, died weeks before the previously first reported american death in late february. but this morning, new hope for those who have recovered, now cautiously armed with antibodies. dr. dara kass returning to work after recovering from covid-19. she tweeted this picture writing, on the way to my first er shift in three weeks. >> when you are affected by the virus, it's also affecting your patients.

you come back into work with a sense of camaraderie and identity you didn't have before. >> reporter: right now you need proof of a positive covid test to get the antibody test but soon the red cross will allow people who think they've had coronavirus to also get the antibodies test, michael. >> i'm sure there are a lot of those people out there. thank you so much, eva. we'll bring in dr. jennifer ashton joining us from home. doc, let's take a deeper look at the results. even while making the announcement, governor cuomo expressed concerns about the accuracy of the testing. what are those concerns? >> well, think of it three ways, michael. when you talk about the need for widespread testing, it is important, but here's the reality. there are basically three main issues, the methodology or how that testing occurs and the accuracy of that test, are there false positives? how widespread can it be? in other words, how scaled up can we get it over what period of time and, lastly, how to interpret and use the results of that when you use data to drive decisions. you have to be very conscious of

how good that data is because your decisions will ultimately only be as good as the quality of the numbers that you put into those equations. >> and we heard earlier in the show the department of homeland security saying that the virus survives a shorter amount of time in direct sunlight, humidity and heat and hotter temperatures. you heard president trump. he spoke of treating people, as he said, with powerful lights and disinfectants. what do you feel about that? what's your response to that? >> so, michael, i think here's where the confusion is. it has been known for a long time that uv light can be used to kill bacteria or viruses in the environment, not in or on the human body. same thing with disinfectants. we know that bleach kills viruses and bacteria on surfaces, not in or on the human body and in terms of season, no one knows what's going to happen when the weather warms up. >> all right, we all cannot -- well, hopefully this doesn't happen, what we're going through right now. doc, thank you so much. george. >> okay, michael, thanks very much.

now to the nfl draft. it went virtual for the first time last night. command center commissioner roger goodell's basement and it went pretty much without a hitch. t.j. holmes has all the details. hey, t.j. >> reporter: hey there, george. yes, the basement draft got off to a pretty good start. yes, this was a major technical undertaking and the nfl was forced to do it this way because of this pandemic that's changed all of our lives, and yes, it changed the way these young men got the biggest news of their lives. the 2020 nfl draft, unique in more ways than ever before. >> i join you from my home for the first virtual nfl draft. >> reporter: drafted players traded on-stage celebrations for tear-filled hugs on their couches. coaches and general managers traded their team war rooms for home offices, or their yachts in the case of dallas cowboys owner jerry jones. >> bruce is fired up. >> reporter: fans from across

the country also cheered on their favorite team's picks remotely. some traditions never fade. fans started the night like they always do, by booing commissioner goodell, including one guy who looked a tad familiar. >> oh, strahan, come on. let's go. you guys can do better than that. >> reporter: this year fans were asked to record their boos as part of a fund-raiser for covid-19 relief efforts. >> the cincinnati bengals select joe burrow, quarterback, lsu. >> reporter: as expected, heisman winner lsu quarterback joe burrow was on the couch with his parents, and was the number one overall pick. >> joe, you were in nashville last year for the draft. if i had said to you then you will be number one overall in 2020, what would you have said? >> to jump up to number one overall is crazy to me. but it's a dream come true. >> reporter: others celebrated with small gatherings of friends and family. >> chase young. >> jeff okudah. >> andrew thomas.

>> reporter: some players still opted to go with the high fashion that we're used to like tua tagovailoa. >> he's got a nice lining to the jacket right now. well deserved by tua. >> reporter: but even with all the production adjustments, the heartfelt moments still defined the night with tributes to all the fans on the front lines who couldn't tune in this year. ♪ home of the brave >> reporter: who made an appearance also last night, stra and robach, it was dr. fauci. he had a recorded message and which he essentially thanked the nfl. this is a very big deal, big event for you every year and you went for it but you're doing it in a safe and responsible way. >> these are moments where we have to be creative and safe at the same time. thank you so much. you can see the nfl draft, rounds two and three at 7:00 eastern, 4:00 pacific right here on abc. it's also available on espn and the nfl network. can we kind of rewind and keep watching you boo? that was my favorite part of the whole thing. i'm sorry. >> not the coughing afterwards. what did i tell you? i'll be watching the draft

also right now, some much needed help for small businesses. the house approved that nearly $500 billion coronavirus relief package. the president is planning to sign it later today. and that new plan to use drones, we told you about, to fight the coronavirus will not be taking flight after criticism and some privacy concerns. police in connecticut are no longer planning to test the so-called pandemic drones to monitor people's temperatures. >> i know a lot of people were thinking it was an invasion of privacy. we're going to begin with "tiger king," the hit docuseries featuring joe exotic and his big cats. with joe now in prison their future is uncertain due to the coronavirus crisis. will reeve joins us with the latest this morning. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, michael. with "tiger king" being such a phenomenon, people wanted to know more about its cast of characters. netflix even ordering up a where are they now episode, but where are the tigers? it turns out many of them have been rescued, but the pandemic is putting pressure on their new

known as joe exotic, in the exotic animal park in oklahoma. >> i mean, joe is definitely a character. the thing that kind of was hard for me, i was asking about information for them and he just was like, oh, when you have 120 tigers you don't really care about their names anymore. >> reporter: passage was at the time under investigation by federal authorities and is currently behind bars serving a 22-year sentence for attempted murder for hire and wildlife violations including killing five tigers. becca mocelli, deputy of the sanctuary, says the tigers are now healthy, but the coronavirus pandemic is taking its toll with visitors quarantined at home. no donations means less food. >> to feed one of our big cats costs about $9,000 a year. we had to invest $200,000 to $300,000 to buffer what we lost in terms of food donations and that's a pretty sizable amount. >> reporter: experts say the tigers are now in a safer, more sustainable place. >> the animals have so much space to rome. tigers have pools to swim in. i think their lives are much better now. >> reporter: the sanctuary hoping for donations and support

so these animals can swim out their remaining days enjoying the sun and living their lives. becca said she was surprised when joe exotic was relinquishing the tigers to her and her sanctuary. he couldn't even remember many of their names and for the record, a few of their names are fireball, pearl and enzo. george. >> okay, will, thanks very much. we have a warning now about online scams during the crisis. with record numbers of americans filing for unemployment a rash of criminals are looking to cash in on people seeking jobs. the department of justice says it has disrupted hundreds of covid schemes and our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with more on what you need to know. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: george, good morning. with 26 million people out of work and counting, americans are desperate for jobs and the bad guys know it. authorities are warning about thieves promising jobs and the safety of working at home. >> hello, this is a courtesy

invitation to work with amazon from home. >> reporter: an automated call promising a good paying job. >> make up to $400 in a day. no sales or technical experience are needed. >> reporter: problem is, the fcc says this call is nothing but a scam and has nothing to do with amazon. according to the federal trade commission, consumers filing more than 24,000 covid-19 related complaints since january losing nearly $19 million to fraud. >> they want to work and they're looking for opportunities. that's what makes this so despicable. >> the fact that we have this dark underbelly that is going to try and profit off of the fear that this virus has brought into our daily lives is -- the word you used -- despicable. it's really terrifying to think about. >> reporter: the targets people like chris o'reilly. he lost his job and he was anxious for work.

he says he thought he found a work, proofreading related to the pandemic. >> part of the reason i was extra sold on the job was because it would be helping put out material that would be educational for people during this time. >> reporter: he says he received a check for $3,000 to pay for a computer and other items and instructions on how to buy them from so-called approved vendors. >> i divided the $3,000 payment into two $1,500 payments. >> reporter: but after paying those vendors, chris learned that the $3,000 check bounced and no job or computer ever came. >> it's an extremely intricate scam they run, and they're sophisticated. >> reporter: in addition to losing money, another common trait in work from home schemes, identity theft. >> you're giving them your name, your address, bank account routing number, your social security number. >> reporter: so how do you protect yourself when searching and applying online? >> don't use the phrase work from home or the phrase work at home when you're searching online for jobs. most scammers are going to use those phrases. >> reporter: when searching online experts say use terms

like remote work, telecommuting or virtual work. those are the legitimate terms that companies use. the online service in chris' case says he communicated with other individuals, not the company directly, and when parties message off the platform, it removes their ability to detect malicious activity, george. >> what other tips do you have for people at home searching for work? >> reporter: do your homework and research the company. call the corporate offices, check with the better business bureau for complaints and, george, never give up any of your personal information or money before you're satisfied the employer is legitimate, george. >> so important to remember that. okay, pierre, thanks very much. coming up, the latest on broadway star nick cordero's situation right now. he's still in a coma. we're going to have what his wife is saying this morning. and next, deep cleaning dangers. the new warning from the cdc about common household cleaners and the way some people are misusing them. susing them.

we are back with a "gma" safety alert. the cdc releasing new warnings about a dramatic increase in calls to poison centers about potentially dangerous exposure to cleaning and disinfectant products. becky worley is joining us from san francisco. good morning, becky. >> reporter: good morning, amy. we are disinfecting our homes, our phones, our everything right now, but this high-stakes cleaning spree has some warnings you need to hear.

spray, wipe, rinse. but what seems like a straightforward process to keep us healthy is sending more people to poison control hot lines and in some cases, the er. >> nationally we have definitely seen an increase in certain types of calls. >> reporter: data released from the cdc showed a 20% increase of calls from january to march related to cleaners and disinfectants compared to last year. one of the big problems, people mixing household cleaners like bleach with ammonia. also bleach with vinegar which experts say you shouldn't do because it can create harmful fumes. it's especially happening in unventilated spaces. the exposure can lead to blurry vision, skin and lung irritation. >> we have to be cautious and stick with one product. >> reporter: julie weber worked with the cdc to collect the data. >> almost every fourth call is a type of cleaning product call here today. >> reporter: weber sharing with "gma" some of the calls her missouri poison center is receiving.

[ crowd chanting ] >> reporter: back in the 1980s at the start of the hiv and aids epidemic, the fda banned gay men from donating blood.

at the time experts say there was a lack of testing technology. >> and the second was really just this underlying and rampant homophobia. >> reporter: the fda relaxed restrictions saying gay men could donate but only if they had been abstinent for a full year. earlier this month citing a shortage, the fda changed that deferral period to three months but hiv specialist dr. monica han says in her opinion that's no longer needed. >> our testing capacity has been truly revolutionized meaning that we can really accurately detect the presence of hiv in patients about ten days after hiv transmission occurs. >> reporter: just this week dr. han and colleagues wrote an open letter to the fda asking to lift the ban, more than 500 medical professionals joining in, along with the american medical association. >> so the ama has been a long-term advocate of using a risk-based approach rather than stigmatizing one group of

people. so we believe there should not even be the three-month deferral. >> reporter: meanwhile for lukus a happy ending. after his post went viral a new york city hospital called him up and got that plasma donation. >> i want an end to this bang. i want science and not stigma to determine donor qualifications. all any of us really want to do is help. to try and save lives during a global health crisis. we just want to help. >> reporter: the new york blood center which initially turned him away telling abc news, it needs time to train staff on new guidelines and that we would welcome him to come back when we begin accepting newly eligible donors. now, overnight the fda told abc news it is looking to end donor time deferrals and they'll actually start conducting a pilot study to see if a questionnaire alone is effective. amy. >> all right, gio. can you read more about this

"love & basketball." it hit theaters 20 years ago this week, 20 years and you might recognize a familiar face in it. robin. that's right. nice, nice hair, robin. she made a guest appearance in the movie and we've got a message from the star herself, sanaa lathan and here's why she

thinks the movie still resonates with so many people after so many years. take a look. >> it's just a good old-fashioned love story and who doesn't love love? i know i do. and monica and quincy's story has touched so many generations, so many races over so much time, and i just am so appreciative to have been apart of such a beautiful movie that touched so many. here's to love. here's to loving ourselves. here's to loving each other and to being kind to ourselves and to each other. >> sanaa, we loved the movie, we love you and we love love. speaking of love, lara has a show we all know and love. a real classic. tell us what you've been watching. >> michael, i'm going with "the golden girls." can you believe the show went off the air in 1992. i am telling you this one still stands the test of time. these ladies are so funny, so sassy, if you've seen "the golden girls" you know what i'm talking about.

if you've never seen it, go to hulu and binge. all four of these actresses won emmys for their roles as seniors living together in miami. the great betty white, 98 years young plays the hilarious rose. i have been told by kelly, my producer, i am blanche. everyone who watches will side with one of these women. i hear you laughing, amy. dorothy, her mom sophia. if you want to feel good friday, i suggest you make some sausage balls, you hunker down with "the golden girls." you would not be sorry, 180 episodes. let's get to it. >> i looked at my hulu account, and someone in my house is binging it right now so i'll have to join in. i can't wait. >> we'll be doing that. >> so fun. >> lara, thank you for being a friend. really appreciate it. [ laughter ] >> well done. well done. >> and next up, the cult classic hit that hit theaters 25 years ago, "clueless."

yes, we think "clueless" is the perfect movie for a girls night in binge. we want to bring in the star who played her, alicia silverstone. and we're going to talk to her about her new movie "bad therapy" but, first, good morning, alicia. >> good morning. >> yeah, alicia, so hard to believe it's been 25 years since this movie first came out. why do you think it holds up, it stands the test of time? >> well, first of all, jane austen isn't too shabby of a writer and so her book "emma" is a wonderful story and amy heckerling is so talented and her modern version of it is just incredible. so i think that the two of them made it really, really good. >> your character cher has so many lines that we steal here today. do you have any favorite?

>> well, i really love, you see how picky i am about my shoes and they only go on my feet. >> and then, of course, there's as if. sorry, i had to do it. you've never been asked to do. >> sometimes i say oops, my bad, in my mind. >> all right. now this is so cool because you have a new movie out that people are going to want to start bingeing. it's called "bad therapy." it's a dark comedy. tell us about it. >> well, rob corddry and michaela watkins, these yummy people, the three of us are in this movie together, and rob and i play husband and wife, and i'm, you know, this normal woman who loves her husband, but has a few things she wants to work out. so she decides to get them into therapy. he doesn't want to go, but she drags them. they go and their problems would have been easily fixed, i think, with a few sessions but unfortunately they picked the

wrong therapist so michaela watkins plays that therapist and she slowly tries to manipulate them and destroy their lives and my character ravels out of -- you know, completely loses her mind and pulls a knife on her husband like you do. >> you know, there you go. let's take a look at that clip with that. >> i think we should try it. it doesn't mean that there's something wrong with us. it just means that we want to understand each other better. it's totally normal. >> it may be totally normal but why do we need it? >> because we do. because it's a good idea. >> we're fine the way we are. and you talk about money issues, right, we're going to pay to invite a complete stranger into our lives? >> well, i was waiting for the knife the whole time. not now. alicia -- >> not that scene. >> why is this a movie that everybody should binge this

weekend? >> well, it's really fun, first of all. i just think you'll have a good laugh and i think be a little on edge as well. there's a sort of suspenseful feeling, edgy feeling while laughing at the high jinx and mayhem that occurs. at one point my character starts popping pills and getting very drunk and behaving badly. you know, it's all just, you know, what happens when these therapists ruin your life and you go crazy, really. and it's really a fun, fun ride. >> one of those things where we watch you completely unravel and feel like our lives are a little better than your. >> there you go. >> i love those types of movies. >> we want to thank you for waking up early and joining us this morning. we hope you and your family are all well. thank you so much, alicia. >> thank you so much. >> and "bad therapy" is available on demand right now.
