good morning, america. more than half the states reopening this week, but are we ready for what could happen next? spring fever bringing out the crowds. people in texas packing bars and restaurants. lines of boats in florida ready to set sail. but scenes like this drawing words of warning. >> you are bringing death to their doorstep. plus, the increasing hopes for a treatment. the couple who says they're convinced this drug helped them recover. coronavirus cover-up? a new intelligence report obtained by abc news pointing a finger at china, did the country cost the u.s. and the world valuable time mounting a fight against covid-19? the meat of the matter. the growing concerns about the nation's food supply. why one big chain is adding

both of you. happy sunday to both of you. let's get right to the news, though, because we're heading into a truly pivotal week with more than half of america reopening in one form or another including the u.s. senate. meanwhile, all these open questions about whether it's too soon. >> and dan, cases in the u.s. this morning have surpassed 1.1 million with 66,000 deaths and more than 175,000 recovered. here in new york city, the numbers still high, but a gorgeous spring day bringing out the crowds. take a look at that. governor cuomo pleading with people to wear masks and keep their distance. >> the city planning to close the makeshift field hospital in central park, a process expected to take two weeks. we have team coverage this morning. let's start with trevor ault in new york city's central park. good morning to you, trevor. >> reporter: eva, good morning. you know, so many americans tell us they're facing a dire choice

between having to risk their life and risk their livelihood. more states are joining that movement tomorrow. this morning, images from coast to coast, crowds of people out at parks and beaches as many states considering their best path forward. in mississippi, a single-day surge in cases in deaths, enough for the governor to press pause on plans to reopen. >> this was a large enough change to make me take a step back and want to look at the board. to re-examine things and i have come to the conclusion that i must hold on for now. >> reporter: as other states open the door for businesses to return, millions of americans find themselves torn between their safety and their paycheck. >> we had a little, little cushion, thank goodness. but that's running very low. >> reporter: veronica wells was laid offer from her tourism job in nevada. her husband has been home with pneumonia since february. with her unemployment application stuck in limbo, she says that he has no choice to go

back to work tomorrow. >> i was very nervous. he's just barely, barely getting over, you know, all the side effects from pneumonia, with all the wheezing and all that. >> reporter: more than half of the country starts the process of getting back to work, many say they're feeling much-needed relief. >> finally, we're having fun. >> reporter: in texas, despite 1,200 new cases, the state's second highest day ever, residents packing parks and filling up restaurants. >> time to get back to living. we have been living in the home. >> reporter: in florida, miami, boaters backed up for nearly a mile on their way to the marinas, but some officials calling out what they feel is reckless behavior in the midst of what's still an ongoing pandemic. chicago mayor lori lightfoot declaring the ongoing house parties the height of foolishness. >> when you go out and party, when you go home to your mama, your grandma or anybody in your household who has an underlying medical condition, you are

bringing death to their doorstep. >> reporter: this weekend, warm weather leading thousands to city parks in new york, in response more than 1,000 nypd officers, plus a 1,000 more city workers making sure social distancing was still enforced. that as governor andrew cuomo says his state is undergoing the largest antibody study in the country. 12% likely infected and recovered. >> we have so much at stake, so many decisions that we have to make that we want to get those data points as quickly as we can. >> reporter: and a possible rising sign of hope for treatment. this seattle couple, josie and george taylor, were both hospitalized with the virus and participated in the clinical trial for the drug remdesivir that they say has shown positive results. >> even though we don't know what we got, whether we got the placebo or the remdesivir, we feel like we got the real thing because we got out quickly. >> more than anything it makes us happy for future use.

>> reporter: and in washington, d.c., a sizable crowd gathered, some wearing masks but others not, all turning out at the national mall for another wave of honorary flyovers. the blue angels and thunderbirds saluting health care workers on the front lines. now, eva, you mentioned this makeshift field hospital in central park is going to be closing down over the next two weeks. they've treated over 300 covid patients here, but as the rate of covid continues on a downward trend, while this outbreak is far from over this is a significant turning point here in new york. dan? >> a seemingly positive sign. trevor ault, thank you very much. let's turn our attention now to china, where, of course, this whole thing began. this morning, abc news has obtained a u.s. intelligence report that china hid the extent of this from the rest of the world while it stocked up on

crucial medical supplies. abc's rachel scott is on that story from washington. rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning, yes. this is the blistering assessment from u.s. intelligence officials. that report says china kept quiet about how bad the outbreak was, and intentionally concealed its trade activity as they stockpiled face masks and other medical supplies. this morning, u.s. intelligence officials are accusing china of a coronavirus cover-up. a new report from the department of homeland security obtained by abc news claims the chinese government intentionally concealed the severity of covid-19 in january. during that time, china was also building out its own supplies. and took steps to protect it. on january 14th, the w.h.o. shared this tweet, saying china saw no evidence of human to human transmission of coronavirus. but according to the report, as the country cornered off

supplies, there was a significant drop in exports, disrupting the global supply chain for nations that needed those essential items most. homeland security analysis states china produces about 80% of the world's surgical mace masks, but 48% fewer were shipped out. gloves were down 48%. and exported ventilators dropping 45%. president trump who once praised their handling of the outbreak. >> president xi loves the people of china, he loves his country and he's doing a very good job with a very, very tough situation. >> reporter: is now stepping up his attacks. last week, placing the blame on china. >> we are not happy with dhochi. we're not happy with that whole situation because we believe it could have been stopped at the source. it could have been stopped quickly and it wouldn't have spread all over the world. >> reporter: the white house press secretary says china mishandled the crisis and slow walked important information. but chinese officials continue to deny any accusations they

covered up details about the outbreak. whit? >> still raises a lot of questions. rachel scott for us in washington, thank you. right now, the pandemic is putting significant strain on the u.s. food distribution system. in some parts of the country, there are now restrictions at certain grocery stores on how much beef and pork you can buy. abc's stephanie ramos reports. >> reporter: this morning, growing concerns about the nation's food supply as more food plants shut down due to covid-19. facing potential shortages, grocery giant kroger tells abc news they're adding purchase limits on ground beef and pork at select stores. some factories like this tyson plant in nebraska closing for the weekend. they say they're undergoing a deep cleaning after hundreds of people tested positive for covid-19 in neighboring communities. >> they're doing testing of the employees. they're making modifications to the systems in there to keep people apart.

>> reporter: in indiana, just one week after shutting down, another tyson plant set to reopen. tyson releasing a statement saying, while the facility was idled we added more workstation barriers, installed more hand sanitizer dispensers, and did additional deep cleaning and sanitation. this coming after our first glimpse inside one meat packing plant. workers crowded shoulder to shoulder with masks down at a georgia's poultry plant in arkansas last month. georgia's poultry plant has since released a statement about upgraded safety measures, including temperature checks and face masks are now required. labor organizers fear for the workers' safety. >> they're just waiting to see when they are going to get sick. >> reporter: according to the cdc, more than 5,000 meat and poultry workers have been sickened nationwide by covid-19. 20 have died. the pandemic revealing a

vulnerability in the food supply. >> when you have a major distribution to the whole system, the system actually can't really cope with that. that's why you see the things that clearly should be in supply would appear to the average consumer as being out of supply. >> reporter: so many meat plants are scrambling to figure out how to stay open and how to balance safety and economics in order to keep grocers like these stocked. eva. >> all right, stephanie ramos for us. let's bring in medical contributor dr. todd ellerin. thank you so much for being with us this morning. let's start with the fact that this is a critical week for the country. a lot of states are planning to are reopen. what should officials be looking for to make sure the reopening process doesn't lead to a resurgence of this virus? >> good morning, eva. so i think what's most important here is two things -- we have to look for clusters of infections and we have to surround those people and make sure we test them to get them isolated and contact traced.

the second point is, surges into the hospital, as we note, hospital capacity is key for reopening because if we overwhelm our hospitals, then we can't take care of our patients. i think those are the two key points. >> and it seems like, just as an observation, we as a country are doing better with this virus but the world health organization numbers are showing numbers april 30th and may 1st was the 48-hour period with the most deaths in the u.s. can you explain to us those numbers? >> so remember. after a person's infected with covid-19, usually there's about a seven-day incubation period and then they have symptoms, and it's not often until their second week of symptoms that if things go bad, that's usually when you see it. when you look at mortality, that's a week or two after. so deaths lag behind the initial illness.

so it's really not surprising that we're seeing these numbers. i want to say one thing -- deaths are not equal. we have to be careful in patients who are obese, patients who are smoking, so, if there's any way that we can continue exercising, there's no better time to lose weight and stop smoking to protect ourselves from this virus. >> continue with those healthy habits. good advice for us. dr. todd ellerin, thank you so much for being with us. whit? all right, eva. tensions on the border between north and south korea this morning. south korean officials are reporting that north korean troops opened fire on their guards along the border at the demilitarized zone overnight. they say they responded with two rounds of warning shots. no injuries reported on either side. this comes after north korean dictator kim jong-un resurfaced after speculation about his health. dan? whit, thanks so much. for more on this story, let's bring in abc news chief global affairs correspondent, martha raddatz. she's in washington where she'll

be hosting "this week" later this morning. martha, good morning to you. so martha, a confounding series of events. kim jong-un apparently going missing and apparently resurfacing yesterday. hours later, shots fired from north korea over the dmz, how do we compute all of this? >> i think when you look at those shots fired, we have to learn a lot about that. sometimes that's someone trying to escape over the border. it may not have been planned that north korea fired those shots into south korea because the timing really does seem to be suspect. we'll have to learn more a lot about that. we'll ask secretary of state mike pompeo about that today on "this week." but the big mystery still remains, kim jong-un, he disappeared for three weeks, he didn't show up at that big celebration. where was he? i had a u.s. official telling me all along that reports of his death were as he said, hogwash, but still something was going on there and president trump added to that mystery by saying he

knows what was happening but he couldn't speak about it at the time. >> a mystery as you say. so i want to loop back to another international story with big ramifications for us here in the united states. this u.s. intelligence report that abc news has obtained that shows that china downplayed the severity of what was then an epidemic locally in china, with this new coronavirus. meanwhile, they were hoarding medical supplies. is this likely to lead to some sort of confrontation or retaliation on behalf of the united states? >> i think it could, dan. that's a pretty alarming series of events if china was outright hiding this to stockpile these kinds of ventilators and masks and whatever they could stockpile. i think president trump will take a very serious look at that, as you know he's been focusing on china. he's even suggested that the virus broke out in a lab in china.

so that's something that president trump will seriously look at to see if there's any retaliation. >> things have been escalating and this appears to add to that escalation. martha raddatz, really appreciate your analysis and reporting on this sunday morning. i want to remind everybody that martha has a big show this morning. she'll go one-on-one with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo. also with six months to go until our presidential election here in the united states. she's going to have exclusive interviews with the heads of the rnc and dnc. whit, over to you. meantime, let's check in with our friend, rob marciano for a look at the weather. today, we'll give you some credit, you delivered yesterday. >> oh, my gosh, so nice. >> yes, it with was sweet. folks across the northeast, finally well deserved, sunny, rather warm saturday.

that was nice, but nothing compared to what's been going on across the southwest. a little too much of a good thing there with record heat yesterday in places like abilene and lubbock, 100-degree record. 104 in midland. we'll see similar numbers today. then a rapid cooldown thankfully for this area by midweek. average as we go toward the week. there's your big falloff. another rebuilding ridge for southern california and arizona as we go into the middle part of the week and so that heat rebuilds. look at this, 107 in phoenix on wednesday and thursday. similar numbers in palm springs. that's quick check on what's happening fo good sunday morning. i'm lisa argen. a view from mt. tam, sunshine today, breezy onshore winds kicking up at the shoreline and warming up by the middle, end of the week. high temperatures range from cool upper 50s half moon bay, low 60s san francisco, low 70s

in napa, so a warmer day today for you folks in the north bay. we have the clouds. 74 in concord. look at th as pretty as yesterday was, we did get a little rain overnight. so the lawn is damp, and to my dog doesn't like to get her paws wet. she's not out there morning. hopefully it will dry out soon. >> she's a diva just like her daddy. >> just like me. exactly. >> thanks, rob. when you hear this next story you're probably going to say, i want to work for that guy. abc's adrienne bankert is joining us from home this morning with the details. good morning to you, adrienne. >> reporter: oh, good morning, eva. whit, dan, good to be with you guys again this weekend. you know, we all have heard of how hard this situation has hit the economy. many businesses trying to do all they can to help their employees which makes an act of kindness shine even brighter.

>> thank you. i'm speechless. >> reporter: this is one of the stories that really makes you smile. when an owner of real estate firm in ohio did about the kindest thing anyone can dream of for his staff. >> i started to think about our two important core values. do the right thing and people count. >> reporter: in the span of just eight days, ceo larry connor earned $1.6 million from his investments in the stock market. but instead of keeping it all, connor called a companywide surprise meeting. >> i'm taking the entire $1.6 milli $1.6 million and dividing it up amongst all of you. >> why? >> in my view, this is not a gift. you've earned it. >> i feel like there's so much i can do. i can help my family out. >> reporter: connor sharing his wealth with roughly 400 workers, maintenance staff, property managers and trainers all deemed essential who continued working during the threat of covid-19.

>> the people who really deserve this are these people on the front lines and these kind of times, i think you got to lead by deeds and actions. not just words. >> reporter: connor said the payments ranged from $2,000 to $9,000. he hopes this will inspire others to give as well. >> we're all in this thing together, and so we need people to help people. >> larry, larry, larry, thank you so much. >> wow, i mean, it's just -- it's giving -- he says it's not a generous act. he says it's more about being grateful. but i'd say it's definitely both. just as a footnote, we're told that this money is going to the least paid employees in his company, so they have to make under a certain amount of money to qualify for those thousands of dollars when they need it most. guys, back to you. >> that's moving gesture and to see the reactions from those employees. >> yeah, and he talked about those core values. >> game-changer.

>> that puts action to those core values. >> adrienne, thank you so much. we'll see you in a little bit with "pop news." dan, over to you. coming up on "gma" -- a fascinating economic question. with so many americans now considering leaving cities and heading out to the suburbs to avoid the the coronavirus, what could this mean for home prices and for the future of the economy? plus, the nfl is expected to release its 2020 schedule later this week. when the season could start. >> can we stop showing video of my 49ers losing by the way? and a sneak peek at the upcoming episodes of "the last dance" and michael jordan's moments with the late kobe bryant. we're back in a moment.

about half the country will start lifting restrictions this week, but questions remain about whether it's too early, this as the world health organization is reporting nearly 5,000 deaths in just the last two days. the deadliest 48 hours during this pandemic in the u.s. also right now, the nfl is expected to release its 2020 schedule later this week. espn reporting that it's expected to include the full 17 weeks of play with a september 10th opener and the super bowl on february 7th. now teams are said to be preparing to conduct offseason workouts in june, mini camps virtually. and paying tribute. uk prime minister boris johnson and his fiancee announcing they have named their newborn son willfred laurie nicholas johnson. willfred after his grandfather, and nicholas in honor of the two doctors who looked after the prime minister when he was hospitalized with covid-19. >> it was a close call for that british prime minister, no question, a harrowing story. let's start this half-hour

with the american economy, battered by the coronavirus. tens of millions of americans out of work. meanwhile, though, one influential investor says he sees reasons for optimism. abc's deidre bolton is on that story. deirdre, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. warren buffett as we know is one of the richest investors in the world. he's worth about $72 billion, he's 89 years old. he has seen a lot, numerous economic crises, numerous world crises and he says the same thing, don't bet against america. with 30 million americans out of work, next week's jobs report may show higher unemployment than the great recession. all kind of businesses are cutting workers, hospitality, restaurant, retail and travel are the hardest hit. even famed and optimistic investor warren buffett sold all his holdings in u.s. airlines. >> unfortunately, i think that

the airline industry, among others that are really hurt by a forced shutdown by the events that are unfolding. >> reporter: the pandemic is changing real estate. more than a third of americans are considering leaving big cities for suburbs. fewer city dwellers feel comfortable in big buildings with shared spaces such as lobbies and elevators. >> i want to take the children outside, you know, just to get out of the building. you're constantly passing people. you're passing the elevator. we love living in new york city. but it's very densely populated. there are a lot more obstacles just to be safe. >> reporter: one industry expert told us the suburbs will benefit from increased demand over the next two to three years, but longer term, that trend will reverse. that sentiment echos buffett. who has seen numerous economic rebounds. >> world war ii i was convinced of it. during the cuban missile crisis, 9/11, the financial crisis,

nothing can basically stop america. >> reporter: in the investment world warren buffett is a comforting presence to many. he famously still drinks coca-cola. he still lives in the same house that he bought in 1958 for $31,500. it's worth about $650,000 today. he drives a car that's six years old that's worth $45,000. so he keeps it simple in up times and down times. back to you. >> and that is the trick to it, to do it the same all the time, isn't it? good lessons to learn from him. time now for a check of the weather and rob marciano joining us from his front yard with the birds chirping this morning. good morning, rob. >> the birds are chirping. a little light rain. i thought i would get the "good morning america" windbreaker out of the storage trunk for you this morning. if you liked that, you'll like
