7:05 am
a crucial element to re-opening safely, but this morning, mayo clinic researchers say not all tests are created equal. this morning, a joint investigation by the mayo clinic and abc news, researchers at the clinic concluding that many of those covid-19 antibody tests flooding the market shouldn't be trusted. four out of nine quick fingerprick tests examined by the mayo clinic, deemed not up to medical standards. one test even giving a positive result for covid-19 antibodies when as you can see in the video only saline, not a blood sample was added. an automatic fail. >> so clearly there have been a mistake in how the kit was constructed. >> reporter: mayo clinic researchers found a more sophisticated test using a full vial of blood sent away to a laboratory, fared better but only slightly. >> out of the ten test kits that we looked at, there were four that really had, you know, "a" plus ratings.
7:06 am
there were a couple in the "b" range, and there were three that were definitely in the "f" range. we wouldn't want to use that in the clic >> reporter: so what antibody test, if any, should you choose? what's important, the mayo clinic doctors found, is authorization from the fda, specifically for testing covid-19. out of over 200 tests on the market today only 12 have been given the fda's emergency use authorization. but how is the average person curious to see if they have covid-19 antibodies supposed to figure out which test is authorized and which isn't? the mayo clinic says don't take this on yourself. work with a medical provider. >> i would just ask the doctor if they could confidently say, yes, they did have the covid disease if the test was positive and, no, they did not have the disease if the test was negative. if they can't answer that confidently, then i would be a little bit concerned about the tests that they were using.
7:07 am
>> reporter: this, as a new study out of emory university, finds antibodies could mean some level of immunity. emory scientists discovering a specific virus neutralizing antibody in hospitalized covid patients within six days of testing positive. >> what our test does is not only shows that you've been exposed to the virus and have made antibodies against it, but those antibodies at least, you know, to the extent we've tested now, seem to correlate with blocking of viral infection. >> reporter: researchers say there are still unknowns. >> so at this point we don't know how long people would be immune. >> i think going forward it'll be important to understand the durability of these immune responses over the next few >> rep a as far ashosa he decid those rapid tests in their own clinics because of quality issues. robin? >> all right, eva, thank you.

7:09 am
>> reporter: they're keeping a close watch on sick workers at food processing plants in nebraska, oklahoma, iowa and virginia. tyson employee gonzalo peralta should be at work today at a meat plant in kansas but instead is on a ventilator fighting for his life. his wife and son got sick too and have since recovered. >> my dad, you'd never see him sick. he's never been sick. never missed a day of work. so it just shows how bad this virus can affect someone that is a hardworking person and won't quit. >> reporter: there are more new outbreaks in nursing homes, prisons and the navajo nation which now beats even new york state for the highest infection rate in the country. in new york city, fewer are needing to be hospitalized. tuesday, but new york's governor points out in poor and brown and black communities there are many new cases. >> how do you socially distance

7:11 am
>> these are the real risk places. we have to make sure that there isn't explosive spread there because that can kill a lot of people. >> reporter: here in georgia, the numbers appear to be moving in the right direction. in fact, in the 21 states that have eased restrictions since may 4th or earlier, abc news has found no imagine in hospitalizations, deaths or percentage of people testing positive. george? >> boy, that is encouraging news, steve, thanks very much. now to president trump escalating his campaign against voting by mail with a series of false attacks even threats to withhold federal funding from michigan and nevada if they pursue their plans to expand mail-in ballots during the pandemic. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega tracking the story. the president is attacking vote by mail because he's worried expanding it will help democrats. >> reporter: exactly, george.
7:12 am
he has said explicitly that statewide mail-in voting, quote, doesn't work out well for republicans. now, during this pandemic we're seeing states lean on this mail-in voting as a way to get them safely to the polls and he has reignited his unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. as he faces new polling showing joe biden in the lead, president trump is now threatening to withhold federal funds from two key battleground states over unfounded accusations of voter fraud. >> if people mail in ballots, there's a lot of illegality and they send in ballots that they -- they harvest ballots. >> reporter: the president ramping up his attacks against mail-in voting, this time targeting nevada and michigan falsely claiming the states acted illegally in their push to vote by mail during the coronavirus pandemic. in a tweet the president incorrectly said michigan sent absentee ballots to 7.7 million people saying, this was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue secretary of state and he threatened to hold up funding if they want to go down this voter fraud path. he then made a similar threat against nevada saying they created a great voter fraud
7:13 am
scenario. but the reality, michigan's secretary of state sent out ballot applications, not actual ballots and she tweeted, just like my gop colleagues are doing in georgia, iowa, nebraska and west virginia. the president later corrected his error. and it was nevada's republican secretary of state who declared a nearly all male election primary because of the pandemic. president trump never specified exactly which funds he would withhold. >> yeah, well, i have very specific funding. you'll be finding out. they'll be finding out very soon if it's necessary. i don't think it's going to be necessary because mail-in ballots are a very dangerous thing. >> reporter: democrats questioning whether the president even has the authority to block funding. minnesota's senator amy klobuchar saying last time i checked, the constitution gives congress the power to appropriate money, not you. and while president trump publicly bashes mail-in voting during his re-election campaign
7:14 am
he himself votes by mail. in new york in 2018 and earlier this year in florida's primary. and now how is this one for timing? the president heads to michigan today where he will visit a ford plant that now makes ventilators and other personal protective equipment. his plan has a policy requires everyone wear face masks and that's something president trump has been reluctant to do. he says he's going to consider wearing one today, george, but it's going to depend on the situation, like how close he might be to other people with social distancing. >> we will be watching again and should emphasize there is no evidence that mail-in voting leads to widespread voter fraud. cecilia, thank you very much. michael? >> all right, thank you, george. now to the latest on the tan devaatinmichan afterho lapsed. romarciano is there in midland for us this morning. good morning, rob. >> reporter: hi, good morning, michael. it has been another historic may for rain across the great lakes but especially here in michigan where the rivers and reservoirs just couldn't handle anymore, and this is the result.

7:35 am
living space. two of the key things. how can you keep people safe in hotels? >> good morning, and thank you for having me here. the safety of our colleagues and customers is the principal thing on our mind every single day so we developed the hig way of cleaning in 2015 with world class partners. and we've partnered with the cleveland clinic to bring in that medical insight to make sure that our practices, how we operate our hotels are leading edge to have guests have a safe, comfortable stay and changing the journey putting in screens at front desks, hand sanitizing stations in hotels. social distancing markers in public areas, decluttering rooms and the public spaces to make sure high touch items are no longer present and new food and beverage standards to make sure guests can have a safe and comfortable stay and making sure we're using the cutting-edge technology as well and using electrostatic sprayers and uv technology and constantly innovating to make sure guests feel safe when traveling. >> which is important. you had hotels in wuhan, china
7:36 am
during the outbreak there. did any of your employees get sick? >> actually, wuhan, no, it was amazing. i'm so proud of the teams there. we had closed the hotels in one-day notice. we were asked to re-open our hotels and bring in our team so we could house the medical workers flown into wuhan to help support it. we also made all the meals for the teams that were building the temporary hospitals in wuhan as well. so really proud of the teams and our groups learned how to work with personal protective equipment and socially distance as well and thankfully among off our colleagues were sick during that time. >> for those thinking about traveling right now, how will their hotel experience change? how will you manage elevators, pools and buffets? >> yeah, we're having to think through all that. for elevators, for example, we're requesting no more than three people get into an elevator at any one time other than families and they socially distance. the pool areas we are moving some of the pool furniture.
7:37 am
we can create the appropriate level of social distancing. we're eliminating buffets in the restaurants and hotels and going to grab and go and a la carte and doing contact list room service delivery too. we're making sure we can provide, again, that safe environment and that also customers can still enjoy themselves because they do want to travel. >> they do want to enjoy themselves. with so much uncertainty, what is your policy if people need to cancel their stay at your hotels? >> one of the first decisions we made, we have to give our customers flexibility. so we've extended cancellations and changes to any existing reservation through the end of june and also launched some new promotions saying pay now, book now, pay later, that is. make a reservation at a discounted rate and not worry about having to put down a deposit. you can cancel 24 hours out. we're launching promotions in

the south in florida and georgia. so loyalty members can stay three nights and get a fourth night free so want to make sure we give flexibility to customers to have the confidence to book and have a great stay. >> yeah. holiday inn was founded in 1952 and it was done after the owner found that he needed a place to stay that was safe, clean, predictable, family friendly, and that's what we'll see. a lot of domestic travel. not a lot of international travel and people feel comfortable getting in their cars, driving to stay at a holiday inn or holiday inn express and see the united states or other countries around the world so that will be the travel trend with fewer people wanting to get on flights. >> we know you've been providing hotel rooms for health care workers and the homeless during this crisis and want to thank you and your company and thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. thanks for all you're doing. >> all right, mr. barr. coming up later, more on the future of flying after images like this showing packed planes.

because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. once weekly trulicity is for type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. it starts acting from the first dose. and it lowers risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in people with known heart disease or multiple risk factors. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, changes in vision, or diabetic retinopathy. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with sulfonylurea or insulin raises low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain, and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

♪ hey ya hey ya welcome back to "gma" and we are so grateful that you're joining us on this thankful thursday. we have some fun for you right now. nba superstar steph curry, one-on-one with our t.j. holmes. t.j. back with what the golden state warrior is up to, everything from homeschooling his three adorable kids to season two of his mini golf show, "holey moley." good morning again, t.j. >> reporter: hey, hello again, robin. i have spent time with steph curry every year around this time for the past five years because i've covered the past nba finals and his team has been in it. we still found some time. we just had to spend it together, it's tradition. i found out he is a much better
8:31 am
ball player then homeschool teacher. this is how we're used to seeing steph curry this time of year but the three-time nba champ apparently has room for improvement at home. how is homeschooling go? >> it's going better now. i got a bad review from my second grader. she said enough of that. got to go back to the drawing board. you got to have some kind of graciousness. it's hard. >> reporter: curry and his family have been home like the rest of us and adjusting. what has been the most challenging? >> for my kids trying to keep them as engaged as possible and keep them stimulated. it's as hard on them as anybody. >> reporter: the nba season suspended in march but the league is trying to find a way to resume this summer. are you ready to go play ball? >> absolutely. i think, yes, i think we've had so many conversations and they're going to continue to unfold as more information comes
8:32 am
out as everybody understands how to do it safely as best you can. >> would you be okay playing with or against a guy that you knew tested positive for covid-19? >> that would be tough if that is a real scenario. if you try to play and there is no vaccine, there is no way to really guarantee nobody is going to get it. i think if you're at a place where everybody says, yeah, we're ready to play and they know what they're committing to, if not, it doesn't make sense and you won't see a ball bounce. >> reporter: even without that he's giving everybody a sports fix. >> are you kidding me? >> reporter: of sorts. >> it's putt-putt on steroids. it's a mixture of comedy, and great family fun, but it's miniature golf at its root. >> reporter: his mini golf competition "holey moley" is back and raising the stakes for season two. >> i want as many bumps and bruises as possible. i want as many ooh and aahs. >> rob riggle, is he the guy i should be talking to? >> he knows ow to articulate in a pretty entertaining way how
8:33 am
to -- you set me up. >> you could see it coming. you could see it coming. >> i don't even know what's coming. i just popped out of my castle. >> reporter: comedian rob riggle returns this season. >> imagine the roman coliseum, lions and gladiators and chariots and then a couple of people in that coliseum playing putt-putt. >> reporter: all right. now, in fairness, robin, the golden state warriors are out of the playoff race so steph was going to be home right now anyway, but that's another story. but his show, "holey moley 2," the sequel premieres at 9:00 tonight on abc, robin. >> ouch. ouch. hey, but remember last year, we were together. we were together for a game in the nba finals. remember that? >> reporter: those were the days, robin. those were the days, weren't they? >> they were the days. and we're getting our money's worth out of you today because
8:34 am
coming up, t.j.'s also bringing us an amazing love story. two frontline workers are about to tie the knot live, t.j.'s going to be there. that could mean an increase byin energy bills.. you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden.

8:41 am
there were days of crying. >> so we decided to have a justice of the peace and just do something small and have just our closest friends and family. >> reporter: a doctor friend told them it was a bad idea to have even a small gathering. wedding number two canceled. so, okay, let's try this again and, no, a third time was not the charm. >> to have it scheduled for july and that was canceled as well. >> another letdown. >> it was definitely really hard. she definitely was devastated. the both of them were. >> so just the unknown has been the most difficult part. >> reporter: however, coronavirus has also brought them together. he is a police officer and she's an oncology nurse and together they're helping greenwich connecticut's contact tracing initiative. the two are also travel junkies. been almost everywhere. >> poland, spain, italy, st. lucia, thailand would be phenomenal. we wanted to do that for the
