this morning, the mysterious syndrome linked to the coronavirus has now taken the the lives of three children in new york. >> we were laboring under the impression that young people were not affected by covid-19. we're not so sure that that is the fact anymore. >> reporter: in new york state, more than 73 children have been affected by the rare illness called pediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome. there are cases in at least six other states, doctors believe that the syndrome is emerging in young children who may have been infected with covid-19. >> now these are children who come in, who don't present the symptoms that we normally are familiar with with covid. it's not a respiratory illness. >> reporter: doctors say symptoms for the rare syndrome including persistent fever, rash

and abdominal issues. symptoms similar to kawasaki disease. which causes the inflammation in blood vessels and can lead to heart problems. in michigan for days this 9-year-old girl had a fever and red irritated eyes. days later she started slipping into cardiac arrest. the doctor treating her said she tested positive for covid-19 and kawasaki. >> she'll need to be off those meds that are helping her heart. she'll stay on aspirin for actually six to eight weeks. >> reporter: in new york, this 8-year-old boy had a mild fever before becoming critically ill. he's finally off of a ventilator and expected to be discharged from the hospital today after going into cardiac arrest last week. he, however, tested negative for covid-19 and positive for antibodies. >> he's conscious. he's listening to us, but his voice is not there yet. he's not able to -- to say much.

>> doctors say this is a rare condition and can be treated but parents need to be alert to the symptoms. here in new york, the department of health says they are now working with the cdc to develop a national criteria for identifying and responding to this syndrome. eva. >> stephanie ramos, thank you. and our chief medical correspondent dr. jen ashton joins us this morning. hearing about these cases in children, it's scary, how rare is this and what should parents know? >> well, it is scary, eva, but in medicine and science we really have to remember the numbers and right now, luckily, this is rare, but, again, if it happens to your child, one is all it takes. i think that this is an evolving situation. pediatricians are asking for assistance from infectious disease, cardiology and they're still in the observation stage and they're just treating these children who have this hyperinflammatory shock, really right now based on symptoms because the cause is still unknown.

>> going back to those cases in the white house with those new covid-positive results, what should they be doing? >> well, listen, first of all, the cdc guidelines are just that. they are dpiguidelines and theye meant to be individualized, and it's not a one size fits all approach. but if you have close contact which is defined less than approximately 6 feet with a confirmed case in a certain group of people, the recommendation is self-quarantine for 14 days since the last exposure to that person. that means act as if you're exposed, eva. meaning, no one coming in and out of your home, mask on, keeping at least 6 feet of distance from anyone in your home environment. again, it's not about me it's about we and protecting those around you. that observation period right now is 14 days. >> now as for covid-19 itself, what can you tell us about this new study on a three-drug

treatment that we're hearing about? >> this was interesting, phase two trials, it was reported in two trials, it was reported in two trials, it was reported in two trials, it was reported in two trials, it was reported in two trials, it was reported in the "lancet." they compared a cocktail of three antiviral drugs, two were in pill form, one was in injection form, in patients with mild or moderate covid-19, they did see that the patients in this three-drug cocktail arm of the trial resolved their symptoms a little faster. top shedding virus sooner. again, these were mild to moderate cases, not severe cases, but it indicates preliminary that there may be a better synergy work together much like people than when one of these drugs works by themselves. still need more research, but definitely some encouraging results. >> some positive news to hear this morning. thank you, dr. jen ashton, we appreciate your information. now to the flood supply and essential workers speaking out about the dangers they say they're facing on the job. abc's trevor ault has more now

from paramus, new jersey. good morning to you, trevor. >> reporter: good morning, eva. i'm sure many people at home are well aware of this strain on the food supply chain because they're seeing it when they go grocery shopping. now american processing plants are trying to step up to meet demand. some of the workers saying that rush could come at the cost of their lives. this morning, america's food supply chain buckling under the pressure of a pandemic. many grocery store shoppers finding meat shelves empty, with strict limits on how much meat you can buy. amidst staggering unemployment, food banks are now seeing unprecedented demand. in arkansas, cars lining up at 5:00 a.m., workers serving 1500 families by the end of the morning. >> we know that the economic downturn is going to last for many months. >> reporter: america's meat processing plants have proven to be hotbeds for the virus with hundreds of workers

testing positive, more than a dozen plants shutting down, prompting the president to invoke the defense production act. 14 meat processing plants have now reopened in the midwest, but some workers aren't convinced they'll be safe. our affiliate spoke with gary whitehouse who works at this tyson plant in indiana. he said when the plant reopens, he's not going back. >> i wasn't going to take a chance of getting it. even if i don't catch it and i'm just a carrier i'm making them all, you know, capable of catching it. and i just -- i couldn't do it. >> reporter: in south carolina, a union is investigating claims of retaliation at house of raeford chicken processing plant after workers asked about safety conditions and hazard pay. >> i want to know that i'm going to be safe to go home to my child. >> reporter: the company saying in a statement, it's had covid-19 protocols implemented from march. this week decided to give employees an appreciation pay increase of $1 an hour. but even as plants reopen, they're still not expected to be operating at full capacity,

which means ranchers and their animals have nowhere to go. >> about 900,000 or something last week that didn't go to market. >> reporter: the problems extend beyond meat. fam farmers like paul allen say they can't even give away their leftover crops. >> we had to destroy millions of pounds of green beans and cabbage. i have had friends that destroyed millions of pounds of tomatoes. >> reporter: now to help out farmers and ranchers, president trump this weekend announced the federal government is going to be buying $3 billion worth of meat, produce and dairy. those products will be used in food lines in kitchens. dan? >> such a difficult situation, trevor, we appreciate your reporting this morning. let's bring in matthew dowd, matt, good morning. there's this tension in the country right now between two things that everybody wants -- one, getting back to work, and two, keeping people safe. but moving back to what we discussed at the top of the show

with people out of work self-quarantining at the white house, the highest levels of government, if people there are getting sick, how can the rest of us trust it's safe to go back to home? >> well, dan, i think -- when you think of politics generally, trust is one of the most important things that leaders have and i think part of the problem with this administration and the president is he lost that trust a while back, the american public, majority didn't trust him, and then through this crisis, he -- he has made conflicting statements that even more diminish that trust in this, and now you have these people sick at the white house while the white house says people need to go back to work, and all most people around the country, they want to go back to work, but they also want to be healthy. how do they do that in a manner that works for everybody in both of those ways?

they don't trust the president right now, they're going to have some questions about corporations that tell them to come back to work. because they wonder if they're just doing it for profit and not for them. and so i think ultimately, people are going to be looking at local leaders who they still trust. but it's a very difficult situation when you watch people get sick at the white house and on the other hand they're telling people to go back to work it's all fine. it's a difficult spot when you don't have trust of the administration. >> not a new observation on my part, but unchartered territory. no question about it. let me move onto another question here. at top of the show, we heard that leaked audio from former president barack obama criticizing the current administration. obama's right now is making more it's not lost on some observers that obama's right now making more noise in the news world than joe biden. how does biden reassert himself as this 2020 campaign heats up? >> well, you know, it's a two-edged sword. barack obama is the most popular democrat in the country, so it's a benefit to the vice president that he gets involved. there are also many people who look back at the obama presidency fondly in the midst of this in which biden served as

vice president. he has to be careful. he needs to stand on his own. the people of the country don't want to go back to something. they want to go forward in that, and one of the ways i think the vice president can do that is when it comes time to pick who his vice president is going to be, and i think he's going to need most importantly, to send a signal that this is a new brand of leadership. he has to demonstrate that he's a person that stands on his own and wants to commit to a future in politics. and one final thing, dan, happy mother's day to all the moms out there. this is going to be a difficult mother's day, an unusual mother's day, in this day and age, what they bring to the table is one of portant things. happy mother's day. >> well said, fully agree. plus one. thank you very much matthew. i want to remind everyone to tune into "this week" later this morning for more on the economic impact of the coronavirus.

chief anchor george stephanopoulos will go one-on-one with white house economic adviser larry kudlow. plus the latest on the efforts to find pottionines. that's later this morning right here on abc. eva, over to you. time now for a check of the weather, and rob marciano. looks like he's in the front yard this morning. how you doing there, rob? >> we're cold here this morning. 38 degrees here. 34 in boston. that ties a record low. snow squalls we had yesterday makes may the same amount of snowfall as february this year. here's the proof in the northeast, squalls coming through queens yesterday afternoon. also new jersey the night before. full-on blizzard in newtown. snow squalls coming through bristol, connecticut, home of espn, yesterday afternoon. all right, we've got the freeze areas this morning, and guess what? after today's chilly temperatures starting at or below freezing, at least feeling that with the windchill, we'll get into this afternoon. should be pretty nice for much of the country. but another blast of cold air coming in for tuesday morning.

that's why we say at this latitude if you're a gardener don't plant until at least happy mother's day to all the moms out there. happy mother's day to all the moms out there. because it's a special weekend, dan and eva, yeah, baby. deserves a special sweater. >> it looks really good with that ascot you're wearing, too, so it's perfect. >> yeah, the pipe is right here out of focus.

tweeted michelle obama. seeing him live was the most exciting event in my life at that time, elton john. little richard is true king, declared questlove. and a celebration of his 50th birthday in 1992, even the greatest, muhammad ali paying tribute. >> i'll say it again, honey. the king, thank you. >> reporter: he'd be in the first class elected to the rock and roll hall of fame. early in his career, white singers stole his thunder by doing tame covers of his songs, and he had been overlooked, or worse, by the music establishment as he reminded the grammys in 1988. >> y'all never gave me any grammys. >> reporter: in his latter years, he would become universally beloved. and with "gma's" spencer christian in 1995, testifying on his own behalf. >> i'm an architect. >> reporter: little richard died of cancer saturday at the age of

87, but the sheer excitement his music always generates will never be silenced. in 1993, the grammys gave him a lifetime achievement award. it was indeed a lifetime of great achievement. dan and eva. >> all right, thank you. and coming up, honoring moms on the front lines of the pandemic this mother's day. pandemic t "good morning america" is sponsored by geico. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. more on car insurance. 15 minutes could save you 15% or more on car insurance. thanks for sharing your cute kids. and your adorable pets. now it's our turn to share... with the geico giveback. a 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies for both current and new customers. cause 'rcommitted for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. so thanks again. one good share deserves another.
