hey, dan. >> hey, guys. good morning. let's get straight to the pandemic news. so many states attempting to re-open with so many questions looming, particularly about testing. meanwhile overnight the president tweeting out that he's now got questions about whether he should continue with those marathon daily press briefings. >> that will definitely be something to watch. and dan, we'll check back with you soon. meantime, more than 100,000 people have now recovered from the coronavirus in the u.s. with cases topping 900,000. the pandemic has killed more than 53,000 americans. while many states will be re-opening in the coming days in some places, the numbers are still rising. >> all this as states roll out more testing, and the hopeful sign this morning, espn reporting that the nba is re-opening team practice facilities for players to hold individual workouts in states and municipalities that are loosening stay-at-home restrictions. avteam covthis g. s start with abc's trevor

bellorngu, trevo. while so many states are starting to re-open and others are fighting to get to that point, testing remains an all important necessity. here at bellevue hospital, front line workers will now be able to get tested for antibodies but all across new york state now many more essential workers will be able to get tested for this virus. across america this morning, stark contrasts in the response to an ongoing pandemic. in southern california, open orange county beaches packed with summer-like crowds. social distancing recommendations frequently being ignored. in the midwest an illinois food department because of rampant covid-19 concerns. in new york, even as the number of new cases and hospitalizations move down the curve, the state is still in the midst of a grim reality. >> just when you think you're going to have a good day, this reality slaps you right in the face.

437 deaths yesterday, which is actually a tick up. >> reporter: governor cuomo says the state is now compulsively, obsessively focused on testing, signing an executive order saturday allowing all first responders, health care workers and essential workers to get tested for the virus. new york also rolling out antibody testing for front line workers at four hospitals including elmhurst hospital in queens which weeks ago one doctor referred to as ground zero for the crisis in america. >> all the patients in this room, all the feet that you see, they all have covid. >> reporter: next week transit workers and police officers will be able to get antibody testing done as well. the hope is that those exposed to covid-19 will have developed antibodies and, in turn, an immunity to the virus, but dr. anthony fauci telling "gma" that's not a guarantee. >> there's an assumption, a reasonable assumption, that when

you have an antibody, that you are protected against reinfection, but that has not been proven for this particular virus. >> reporter: even without immunity, several states are kick starting the process to re-open their businesses. >> our savings account went through that month and now we're going into a new month. >> reporter: georgia was among the first states leading the charge allowing gyms and salons to go back to work friday, but tomorrow theaters and restaurants can join them. >> we're going to be good, providing we don't get shut down again. >> reporter: also happening tomorrow, montana and mississippi will allow retailers to operate with social distancing measures in place. tennessee restaurants will be allowed open at 50% capacity. colorado will allow personal services like dog grooming and personal training, and minnesota will let industrial workers and office employees who can't work from home and don't face customers to go back on the job. but the looming threat of the virus will still keep millions of workers home. so many finding their businesses crippled by an expanding

economic crisis. >> we're basically doing 20% of the business we normally do on a monthly basis. it's -- you know, you can't survive. >> reporter: congress rushing to pump another $310 billion into the paycheck protection program designed to help small businesses keep paying their employees. applications for those much needed loans re-opened monday but experts expect that massive sum of money to quickly run out once again as thousands of businesses who were shut out the first time now find themselves in desperate competition with each other. >> we don't necessarily have high hopes that it's going to happen, but we keep our fingers crossed every day. >> reporter: and as so many of these small businesses are in dire need of that stimulus funding in order to stay afloat, a number of larger companies, some of them even publicly traded, have come under fire for taking out these loans that are meant for small businesses and under that criticism at least a dozen companies have said they're going to be giving their loans back.

that totals up to more than $170 million. dan? >> so much controversy there. trevor, thank you very much. we're going to turn now to the desperate effort to get food to the people who need it the most, including people who have lost their jobs as a result of this pandemic. abc's stephanie ramos is on that story. stephanie, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. food banks nationwide are either dealing with short supplies or surging demand right now. the need for food banks is so dire, some organizations like this one here in the bronx that have never operated as a food bank before are now handing out food. this morning, as the coronavirus pandemic stretches on, millions of americans have been crushed under a collapsing economy. many unable to buy food and pay bills. >> if we're not able to pay our bills, then what's next? like, what's going to happen? >> reporter: from texas to miami, thousands of food banks across the country are stepping up. long lines like these seen

nationwide. among those waiting in line is this mother of two in savannah, georgia fighting to keep food on the table. >> i am out of money and just about out of groceries. i've spent my savings on groceries and at this point i really can't spend anymore savings on groceries. >> reporter: for david horton in pittsburgh, he's grateful for the compassion. >> it's great that we're able to be supported in such struggles like this. >> reporter: many companies are now buying surplus food and donating them to distribution centers and pantries who are having a hard time keeping up with the demand. >> we've had people coming from all over the pittsburgh area but we had a couple of folks that actually drove in from ohio. >> reporter: and after seeing this images on "world news" tonight of farmers forced to discard produce and milk, a new effort has been created, farm to food banks. this truck carrying about 43,000 pounds of potatoes from that farm in idaho arriving in the south bronx to help nearly 4,000 families in need.

>> it is incredibly humbling and we are so excited to receive this food and also excited to distribute it to all of our famili jt want to mak sure that people see that the south bronx and other places, this is the picture of resilience. this is the picture of humanity. this is people coming together from all walks of life. >> reporter: ds says this won't be the last time they're able to hand out food thanks to farm to food banks. he says they'll be able to distribute food weekly to the nearly 10,000 families in this area. whit? >> some of the most important teamwork happening right now. stephanie ramos for us, thank you. now to what may be another hopeful sign on the testing front. we have an inside look this morning at a military-funded lab that they say will be a game changer, able to do tens of thousands of tests per day. abc's devin dwyer has more. >> reporter: some scientists are calling it a covid testing breakthrough, a supervised but self-administered test for

coronavirus from a sample of your saliva. experts say if done properly it could be as effective and much easier to perform than those intrusive nasal swabs by medical workers covered in ppe. different set of supplies that are needed. >> reporter: abc news got a look inside at one new oral fluid coronavirus testing lab in the nation's capital, a facility funded by the u.s. airforce to test thousands of military personnel. biotech start-up curative flying in the equipment from california, setting up the lab to test saliva samples in 24 hours or less. >> that lab will be scaling to 50,000 tests per day of capacity over the next few weeks. >> reporter: the defense department calling the $13 million project a risk reduction alternative to nasal swab testing and potentially game changing. >> we have the ability to expand our testing capabilities to wider military populations, prioritizing the highest risk to forces. >> reporter: if it's successful,

experts say widespread oral fluid testing could greatly improve surveillance of the coronavirus across the u.s. >> enough testing, tracing and supporngl dise we doresurgences >> so take the swab out of the packet. >> reporter: we took the test to try for ourselves. >> now cough into your elbow deeply three times. >> reporter: coughing into the arm to release fluid from the lungs into the mouth, then swabbing the mouth for 20 seconds. the test must be supervised by a clinician, but with proper social distance, does not require extensive ppe. while authorized by the fda, the accuracy of self-collected saliva tests in general is still under review. in one study from ucla, oral fluid and nasal swab specimens performed similarly when detecting covid-19, but a third of infected individuals who swabbed their mouths without clinical supervision registered false negatives, but still

showing enormous promise. >> this may be a long-term model for how we could scale up a return to work effort across the country. >> reporter: for "good morning america," i'm devin dwyer in washington. >> let's bring in our chief medical correspondent, dr. jennifer ashton. thanks so much for being with us. the antibody testing of health care workers in new york city, how helpful will this be if, as the world health organization says, we really don't know yet whether having had this virus leads to any kind of immunity? >> well, eva, i think you have to remember as the saying goes, the devil is in the details. also the devil will be in the data and how accurate those results are. basic premise in medicine is that when you've been exposed to a virus you will develop some immunity to it, but how long that lasts and how strong that protection could be is still to be determined. and remember, antibody testing is to determine past infection

ideally or susceptibility, so it could be potentially very important. >> now, we saw in devin's piece the saliva testing, the military funded lab is talking about eventually doing 50,000 tests per day. how significant is this? >> well, again now we're switchinto how do we active infection, and that absolutely is critical, so whether it's by a saliva test or a nasal swab or a finger stick, the key is accuracy, and as we heard, any test can have false positives or potentially false negatives, and turnaround time. so 24 hours, great, but ideally this will move to a point where someone can do it at home like a home pregnancy test so then you can act on those results, whether they be isolate yourself if it's positive, or negative and potentially then you can return to work. so we need to scale up and they need to be accurate, and 50,000 a day is great but there are some epidemiologists and public health experts that say we need to bab to do millis

tests a day. >> okay. now talking about symptoms and people being sick, the cdc adding to the list of coronavirus symptoms. a lot of these are symptoms that we've already heard about. >> we have, eva, and just a little bit of mini med school here.a sympm is sometf a diseas something that can be seen visually. the old three symptoms of covid-19, fever, cough, shortness of breath, now the cdc has added six more things like headache, body aches, chills, shaking chills, a sudden loss of smell or taste, but again, those have been reported in the medical literature for some time now. it's unclear why just now the cdc is changing and adding to that list of symptoms, but clinicians know that there are typical symptoms of this mysterious virus and then there are atypical symptoms and that list seems to be growing literally by the day. >> yeah, there's still a lot we don't know. dr. jen ashton, thank you so

much for being with us this morning. dan, let's send it over to you. >> eva, thank you. let's talk politics now. after the president's controversial comments last week about injecting disinfectants you may have noticed that his next press briefing was much shorter. then on saturday, no press briefing whatsoever. and overnight, he tweeted out this, asking, what is the purpose of these briefings? then he went on to blame the media for asking too many hostile questions. so let's bring in abc news political analyst matthew dowd. good morning to you. my first question is, would it be politically wise for the president to ditch these briefings? >> well, i think the most politically wise thing would be change the briefing. i think the briefings are substantively important for conveying information to the american public about what's going on with covid-19, what should the american public do, but the president has a tendency to score own goals on himself either at the briefings or in

the aftermath. so if i were the president -- and i've said this from the very beginning -- he would be much better off introducing the doctors on his task force and then letting them conduct it, but the president seems to have a real hard time letting other people shine in the limelight. but he'd be much better off both politically and substantively letting the doctors lead at these press conferences. >> as states start to re-open, some of them at least, we're starting to see some tension between the president and the governors. the president at one point calling for some states to be liberated and then at another point criticizing his republican ally, governor kemp, in georgia for re-opening too fast. so how do you see all of this playing out? >> well, this -- if we thought the beginning of this was complicated about how states were going to shut down and what they were going to do with regards to mitigation and stay-at-home orders, i think actually this next phase is even more complicated in that how states are going to open and what are they going to do and what are the metrics.

i think the president gave a very thoughtful, reasonable approach two weeks ago about the stages and the needs that need to be met, but the problem is you have 50 state governors and people in territories in charge of what happens. so it's going to be very inconsistent going forward. some states are going to open up really well. some states aren't going to open up at all and what's going to begin to happen is there's going to begin to be political pressure across the country as one state sees another state open up and people in restaurants and all of that. i think what's going to happen is we are not going to know the full tale of this and what happens with the virus until we start watching the metrics and the data as states open up. so i actually think, as i said, this is going to be even more complicated in the opening as opposed to the closing. >> yes, we're in for a choppy, complex phase here. as somebody had said, we're in a marathon for which none of us has trained. matthew dowd, happy to have you on a saturday morning. really appreciate it.

i want to remind everybody, stay tuned for "this week" with george stephanopoulos. he's going to go one-on-one with maryland governor larry hogan and trump's economic adviser kevin hassett. that's "this week" coming up right here on abc later this morning. whit, over to you. >> dan, thanks so much. let's get a check of the forecast and get to rob marciano. it's always a question, will he be in the basement? is he outside, inside? rob, what do you got for us this morning? oh, look at that, breathing some fresh air. >> yeah, we are. we're in the front yard, blue jacket, all business today. we've got a little bit of a storm moving in here. we had a little bit of rain earlier. it will only get more intense as we go through time. really the eastern third of the country affected by this storm. we've already had severe weather reports. it's double barrel low. not a whole lot of severe weather with this, but a lot of rain back from indianapolis, louisville, cleveland, pittsburgh. d.c., philly and new york, this will all become heavy. wind with this too,

through upstate new york. look at the white beginning to increase. above 1,000, 1,500 feet, two to six inches of snow, northern new york, northern new england. tomorrow cool and rainy and that continues kind of a miserable monday and tuesday tooks to looa little better. i want to mention this, we have our first tropical cyclone of the eastern pacific hurricane season. it's not even th good sunday morning, low clouds and fog back in the city with even some mist and drizzle close to the shoreline. those westerly winds bringing temperatures down today. a little change for your monday, and then a big warmup on tap for tuesday. mid-70s today in fremont, that's about five degrees cooler. 67 downtown, breezy winds at the coast, 80 in napa. 81 in antioch and the accuweather seven-day forecast looking at pleasant numbers we have a special treat on this sunday. coming up in the next half-hour, glowing dolphins.

always wanted to play against michael. >> up until that point it was a stigma that michael jordan, all he does is win scoring titles. he never wins championships. that was my chance to get in the category of larry bird and magic johnson. >> all right. you can catch episodes three and four of "the last dance" tonight on espn at 9:00 p.m. eastern. dan, i know you're more of a spud webb fan though, right? >> correct, my friend. i love spud. we're the same height. let me tell you what's coming up on the show. coming up, a fascinating look at what life is like in the parts of america where this virus has not yet hit. and virtual babysitting. how some parents are getting online help with their kids as they juggle the chaos of staying at home. and changes coming, what's likely to be different at your workplace once you head back. more "gma" after this.
