the cdc now saying if the virus is living on a surface or an object it does not appear to be a significant mode of transmission if you touch it, the same with infected animals. it gets confusing and they say it is possible if you touch a surface and the virus is live and immediately touch your nose or mouth you could get covid-19 but the main form of transmission still means person-to-person and still got to wash your hands. experts say just be careful. >> tom. thank you. we want to turn to the very latest on that passenger plane crashing in pakistan. the airbus a-320 carrying 90 passengers and at least 7 crew members. some witnesses say the plane tried to land two or three times before crashing in a residential area near the airport. maggie rulli joins us now with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we're still waiting to hear if there are any survivors but the images from this crash are horrifying. the plane ripped through a densely populated residential neighborhood just outside the airport. you can see buildings look like they've been sliced in half. there were at least 98 people on

board that pakistani air national airlines flight. the country had only started domestic flights again earlier this week. in the plane's final transmission the pilot can be heard crying out mayday multiple times and tells the control tower we've lost engine. witnesses on the ground also report seeing the plane trying to land two or three times before crashing. guys, remember, it is almost the end of ramadan there in pakistan. many people were traveling home to see their families. it's a tragic thing to happen during a time that's supposed to be a celebration. amy. >> thank you, maggie. to that urgent new warning about that rare inflammatory syndrome linked to coronavirus and we've seen it mostly in kids but now some doctors say they are also seeing it in young adults in their mid-20s. stephanie ramos joins us with more on this story. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: amy, good morning. while the overall number of covid-19 patients has gone down in new york city and other states, the number of children and young adults with this inflammatory syndrome has not. many of them testing positive for covid-19 antibodies

suggesting they may have been exposed to the virus weeks earlier. this morning, several doctors are warning that the rare inflammatory syndrome linked to covid-19 is not just affecting children, but also young adults. >> we've actually had a number of individuals, particularly through the teenage years, but clearly into, you know, very young adulthood. >> reporter: young people ages 20 to 25 years old sick with the illness now reported in california and new york. some medical experts warn the syndrome could present itself more seriously than it does in children but it's still too early to know. >> they may be more severe in this young adult population, both in terms of direct heart injury as well as a sort of blood vessel problem. >> reporter: according to the cdc symptoms of the multisystem inflammatory syndrome include fever, abdominal pain, neck pain, red eyes and rash.

in young children parents should seek emergency care right away if their child has problems breathing, bluish lips or face, pain or pressure in the chest that does not go away or severe abdominal pain. the number of children with it is growing spreading to 13 countries and here in the u.s., cases reported in 25 states. new york department of health now investigating 157 cases in new york alone. >> we don't know how widespread it is. but the more we look, the more we find it. >> reporter: the covid-19-related syndrome now raising concerns about schools re-opening in the fall. for young adults planning to return to colleges and universities, the cdc says the schools should recommend and reinforce the use of cloth face coverings, hold smaller classes in larger rooms and check to make sure the room has proper ventilation.

the cdc also notes that dorms should have physical barriers like plastic flexible screens between bathroom sinks and beds, some strategies listed on the site. michael. >> thank you, stephanie. we'll bring in dr. jennifer ashton to answer a few of our questions and, doc, initially they believed this multi-inflammatory syndrome only affects children. are there theories as to why it's now occurring in young adults? >> right now in terms of patients in their 20s, one of the theories is this picture we call infectious vasculitis, an inflammatory due to an infection and particularly the blood vessels that feed the heart and the heart muscle but potentially anywhere in the body. right now they're still d treae young en in their 20s have never seen a case of kawasaki syndrome

because, again, remember, that usually happens in children. >> doc, we also hear the first doses of a vaccine could be delivered by october which is way ahead of schedule. what has changed in that? >> so this is another contender, michael. this comes from researchers at oxford university in conjunction with astrazeneca and the thinking and hope is that they will be accelerating development and manufacturing of their vaccine set to go into phase 3 clinical trials with 30,000 u.s. volunteers in the next couple of months and the hope is that they can combine the steps particularly those of manufacturing at the same time as the research and clinical trials rather than do them one after another and when you talk about manufacturing, michael, remember, hundreds of millions of doses potentially or more for the world with vials, stoppers, temperature controlled. it's a very specialized process. >> very specialized and a lot needed. doc, thank you so much. whit. toasnganth latest on president trump. our new abc news poll with ipsos

showing less than 40% approve of the president's handling of the coronavirus crisis and the president under fire this morning for, again, appearing in public without a mask during a visit to a ford plant in michigan that's currently making ventilators. senior white house correspondent cecilia vega joins us from washington with more. cecilia, good morning. >> reporter: hey, whit, good morning. despite the warnings from the state's top law enforcement officer there, the factory's own rules and, of course, cdc guidelines recommending facial coverings, president trump again refused to wear a mask in public. on a tour of a ford motor plant that now makes life-saving ventilators president trump openly flouted not just the factory's policy requiring masks but michigan law too. the president surrounded by auto executives, everyone socially distanced and everyone wearing masks except him. at one point he held up a face shield and even showed off a mask of his own complete with the presidenal >> by the way, here is my mask right here.

and i like it very much. i actually, honestly, i think i look better in the mask. i really did. i look better in the mask but i'm making a speech. >> reporter: in front of the white house press corps thimver put it on. >> i had one on before. i wore one in this back area but i didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. >> reporter: he said it just wasn't necessary. >> everybody has been tested and i've been tested. in fact, i've been testing this morning so it's not necessary. >> reporter: ford warned the white house about the policy well before the president's arrival. but with the president standing right next to him, ford's chairman would only say this. >> mr. ford, can you confirm that the president was told it's okay not to wear one in this area? >> it's up to him.>> reporter: president left, the company issued a statent sayinbi ford encouesident to wek and that while he complied during a private viewing of ford cars, he then removed it for the remainder of the visit. after he left michigan's

democratic attorney general let her outrage be known. >> the president is like a petulant child who refuses to follow the rules. >> reporter: the attorney general reminded the president michigan is a hard hit state with more than 5,000 deaths. she says her office will now be having a serious conversation with ford about this violation of state law and she added that president trump is no longer welcome in michigan. of course, amy, this is a crucial battleground state. >> yeah, certainly is, cecilia vega, thank you for that. now to the new development in the ahmaud arbery killing. the man who recorded the last moments of the 25-year-old's life is now under arrest. william roddy bryan charged with murder by the georgia bureau of investigation after turning himself in to authorities. arbery's family saying they believe bryan was partially responsible for ahmaud's death because he wasn't reacting to the scuffle or the gunshot. bryan told abc news earlier this month he was cooperating with investigators but he would not say why he was at the scene or why he even recorded the video,

which set off a nationwide outrage. there is no evidence arbery committed any crime. now we are going to go to gio benitez and gas prices for the memorial day weekend. almost 20 years they are the lowest. this comes as you expect to see a record low number of cars on the road. gio benitez at a gas station in cliffside park, new jersey, with the latest. good morning, gio. >> reporter: good morning. in some states you can find gas for $1.50 a gallon. here in cliffside park we're seeing $1.89. the national average, $1.94. now, while traffic is down dramatically cell phone data is showing more people are moving around over the past couple of weeks as states re-open and they are traveling farther from home. apple maps also showing that requests for driving directions are actually going back up. but, remember, emptier roads eoof led ts dree a crashinths so several

states are issuing new warnings about this weekend and some are already saying they will increase dui enforcement, michael. >> speed has definitely picked up with the open roads. how long do we think these prices will last? >> reporter: well, some experts say that these gas prices are going to be hovering around $1.93, $1.94 for memorial day but they do expect those gas prices to start going up, in fact, gas buddy is telling us we should be seeing a national average go up to about $2.25 to $2.50 by labor day. michael. >> all right, thank you so much, gio. we are following a lot of other headlines including that bombshell from lori loughlin, the actress and her husband will plead guilty to charges in the college admissions scandal. memorial day weekend at a distance. an infectious disease doctor tells us how she's using quaran-teams to stay safe while socializing but first we go to ginger. good morning, ginger. >> good morning.

standardized tests for admissions. the school is developing a new test that more closely aligns with what we expect incoming students to know to demonstrate their preparedness for uc. golf fans, they're looking forward to sunday's "the match: champions for charity," tom brady and phil mickelson against tiger woods and peyton manning. whoo, said strahan. an epic showdown in florida raising money for coronavirus relief. they are talking some serious trash though leading up to this weekend. manning saying, i would have loved to have this tournament in a place where they don't like tom very much. indianapolis, denver, boston, ooh. >> burn. >> i love it. i love it. >> too soon. >> manning pointed out that brady wasn't too happy about the last time they matched up against each other. so redemption, brady says for him. we are moving on to that bombshell in the "varsity blues"

college admission scandal. actress lori loughlin and her husband, mossimo giannulli reversing course and agreeing to plead guilty. deborah roberts here with more on the deal which includes prison time for both of them. deborah, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. yeah, they became the public face of this astonishing scandal. for awhile, lori loughlin pushed back against prosecutors, but just months before what was going to be a costly trial, she and her husband gave up the fight. >> anything you would like to say? >> reporter: this morning, lori loughlin and husband mossimo giannulli admitting ei in the college admissions cheating scandal. later today the "full house" star will appear in front of a judge via video conference due to the pandemic pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. her husband will plead guilty to two charges. under a deal with prosecutors, loughlin will serve two months behind bars. her husband, five. they'll also pay combined fines of $400,000 and perform hundreds of hours of community service. the couple's change of heart coming more than a year after being arrested along with dozens

of other parents in the bombshell "varsity blues" case. loughlin and giannulli accused e to gethe thoueither girl rowed competitively. at first pleading not guilty insisting the payments were legitimate donations and accusing prosecutors of misconduct. their daughters, 20-year-old olivia jade and 21-year-old bella, no longer attend usc and both have kept low profiles since their parents' arrest. >> obviously i've been gone for a really long time and as much as i wish i could talk about all of this -- >> reporter: the sisters recently posted heartfelt tributes to loughlin on instagram for mother's day. >> i said a lot of things i shouldn't have. i'm sorry. >> reporter: "desperate housewives'" felicity huffman who, unlike loughlin, apologized and pleaded guilty immediately after being charged, huffman served two weeks in federal

prison for paying $15,000 to have a procter correct her daughter's s.a.t. exam. lead prosecutor andrew lelling speaking to our affiliate days after huffman's sentencing. >> she took responsibility almost immediately. she was contrite, did not try to minimize her conduct. i think she handled it in a classy way. >> reporter: jennifer myers who served time behind bars herself is now a prison consultant who helps nonviolent first-time offenders prepare for their life behind bars and says loughlin could face challenges in prison. >> there's going to be some women that are not going to like her. the sense that maybe lori's entitled especially because of what she did, possibly that she didn't take responsibility immediately is going to really bother some women. same with guards and cos. some are not going to like lori at all. >> reporter: a federal judge will have to sign off on all of this. in about 90 days loughlin and

je giannulli will find out their decades. as for singer, he is facing decades in prison. amy? >> our thanks to deb roberts for that. let's bring in dan abrams and former federal prosecutor sunny hostin. thank you for being here. dan, what do you make of this plea deal, and do you think the judge will accept the terms of the deal? >> well, look, i think it's likely a judge will accept the terms but what i think happened here, i think both sides ended up coming together. meaning initially the position of lori loughlin and her husband was we're not pleading. we're innocent, not happening. but they recently lost a big motion in the case to dismiss it. i think also though prosecutors have realized that they might have some holes in their case as well, because initially when this case was just starting, defendants who had conduct similar to what we're seeing from lori loughlin and her husband were being offered deals where prosecutors would recommend 15 months and now you

see mossimo being offered five months, lori loughlin being offered two months. that says to me prosecutors have also moved a little bit and i think that's what brought the parties together here. >> sunny, what do you think? after 14 months of claiming innocence, why do you think they pled guilty now? >> you know, i would agree with dan that it's pretty clear that they lost this motion to dismiss and that that -- it was a hail mary motion in my view, but certainly that had a lot to do with the fact that they decided to plead guilty. i don't think that the prosecutors have a lot of holes in their case, but i am surprised at the recommendation, two months and five months, after wasting prosecutors' time for seven months is very odd to me, but i will say this. this is a perfect time for them to plead because covid-19 is the headline. a lot of people are getting equation. you plead guilty now. are you even going to serve two

months or five months? perhaps you serve even less than felicity huffman. she was sentenced to two weeks in prison and she served 11 days so she served quite a bit of her sentence. i don't know that would happen here at this time. >> yeah, dan, i was going to ask you. do you think this pandemic will affect the amount of time they serve behind bars? >> yeah, i don't because i think there's actually a provision in the agreement which specifically addresses that which says, for example, let's wait 90 days on executing this specifically to avoid them getting some covid break. as we've seen, by the way, with other defendants who have pled acuty aware of. i think -- i really do believe that this had to do with the defense thinking for awhile, we've got some really good arguments here. there are some real problems with the middle man, singer's account.

we're going to really be able to get the judge to take some action on our behalf, and when none of that happened, i think they realized, we've got to work with them. but again, look at the numbers that the prosecutors were offering months ago to people whose conduct was similar to theirs, and you have to say, what happened? it seems to me what happened is that prosecutors, for whatever reason, are more concerned today or more willing to give better deals today than they were months ago. >> yeah, sunny, you're a former prosecutor. how does this deal compare with what felicity huffman got and could loughlin have been sentenced to less time if she cooperated from the beginning or is she getting this relief because it's covid-19?im i really do believe that this is a slap on the wrist type of sentence because if you think about felicity huffman, she took responsibility immediately. she didn't waste the government's time. she didn't waste taxpayer dollars. she was the first parent to plead guilty and she only paid

$15,000. while that is a lot of money, when you compare it to what lori loughlin and her husband paid, we're talking about $500,000 for two children whereas felicity huffman's involvement was limited to one child. and so really you can't compare the conduct and i am surprised at the lightness of the sentence that was offered. >> all right, sunny hostin, dan abrams, we appreciate both of your legal analysis. thank you so much. >> all right, amy. coming up next, how to navigate social distancing this holiday weekend. we have the important safety checklist from an infectious disease doctor right there on the front lines. the front lines.

and even those being limited to places like the grocery store while wearing a mask. dr. kraft has three kids, 9, 11 and 13. a few days ago she allowed them to see friends outside, playing games without physical contact. and it's not just kids. >> we have a very small circle of people that we interact with. >> reporter: two other couples came over to sit outside and talk. the six-foot hangout. >> even when interacting with them we don't spend a lot of time, you know -- it's always outside and it's at a distance. >> reporter: that distance, six feet or more and that's why she says they don't wear masks. unless you think she's throwing caution to the wind dr. kraft says it's literally wind or air circulation that disperses any potential infectious particles making the risk lower. all indicators of what socializing may look like nationwide hopefully soon. some states still limit gatherings to ten people or even less. many states forbid gatherings of any kind with people outside

your family group and the cdc warns against it. and, remember, michael, these are small gatherings for healthy non-vulnerable members of the population. >> becky, we know dr. kraft was generous enough to track her whole weekend for us. what else wasn't she comfortable doing? >> yeah, interesting what she won't do. she says she won't go to the mall. she would not get her nails done or go to the gym and even when social distancing outside with her quaran-team she says they don't share food or utensils and she and another infectious disease expert we talked to with a younger child says they're not going to playgrounds. kids and social distancing, whoo, it can be tough. >> yeah, definitely can be tough. becky, thank you so much. for more tips on how to stay safe with family and friends in the coronavirus, visit goodmorningamerica.com. ♪niroin rolling, have our " rollin ♪ burning, rolling, rolling, rolling ♪ rolling down the river ♪

reported technical issues to the control tower, and both runways were open before the plane crashed. it went down in that residential area by the airport. it's a very populated area. also known as being a poor and congested area as well. it's too early to tell how many were home at the time but a military official tells abc news right now their teams are on the ground and they're looking for any bodies or survivors from that plane crash or from the homes in that area. it's also important to remember that right now in pakistan, it's beginning to the the end of ramadan. this is a time where people come together as families may have been flying home to see their families or out shopping trying to get food for a celebration dinner so it is tragic something like this happened at a time that was supposed to be a celebration. >> it certainly is. maggie rulli, thank you so much. let's bring in abc news aviation expert, colonel steve ganyard joining us by phone. colonel ganyard, what stands out to you? i know you have your ear to the ground about details coming in

about the crash. >> amy, i think the thing that's interesting it was a perfectly clear day and the pilot, as maggie noted, the pilot did attempt to land we know at least once. we have data that shows the plane got to about 300 feet above the ground and aborted and crashed on the second attempt to land. very strange. beautiful clear day but points to a mechanical failure rather than weather-related problems. >> speaking to that, what can you tell us about the plane? it is an airbus a320. historically had there been any problems with this type of plane? >> no, it is a great airplane. it's one of the most widely flown airplanes around the world. pia is the national airline of pakistan. it has a spotty record in terms of safety, but the a320 is a great airplane so very, very strange and i think investigators will be looking at some sort of mechanical problem that was contributing to the crash. >> but a tragic, tragic development, indeed. colonel steve ganyard, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. michael. >> thank you, amy. now to the latest on the

taking part in his first national tv interview in weeks. >> i think you're probably going to be seeing a little bit more of me and my colleagues. there was a period of time there was a little lull in our being out there with the press, but i believe that's going to change. >> reporter: this as more states are opening even further. starting today, most of indiana allowing gatherings of up to 100 people. retail stores and malls now operating at 75% capacity. alaska skipping straight to phase four and will be mostly open. ohio announcing plans to allow wedding receptions of up to 300 people to start at the beginning all of this as thousands, if not more, are likely heading to the shore this is holiday weekend like point pleasant beach at the iconic jersey shore. their town engineer determining the beach can hold 197 groups in roughly 18-foot-square areas with six feet in between.

their mission to make sure no pet goes hungry. so far they have given away 130,000 pounds of pet food and today they are making sure both dogs and humans get enough to eat, partnering with a local food bank for the first time ever, the group will give away both pet food and human food to anyone in need. the event is happening today at mckeesport high school in mckeesport, pennsylvania. jonathan, the co-founder, says no one will be turned away. wanted to give them a shoutout for their amazing generosity and hard work. and last, but certainly not least, katy perry, everybody. she is, of course, one of the best selling musical artists of all-time. she is an "american idol" judge, and she is with us live this morning kicking off our "gma" concert series. katy will perform not one, but two songs for us. we're so excited about that but first, a little live catchup. hi, katy. you look so cute. how are you? how's the pregnancy? how's everything? >> oh, hi. good morning. i'm okay.

i'm actually -- it's about 5:15 in the morning in los angeles and i'm in my stepson or future stepson's room because it's the furthest away from everyone else's room because i didn't want to wake anybody up. bunk beds and stuff. everything is good all things considered taking it one day at a time and finding my silver linings. >> you know, you look good. >> how are you feeling? sorry, michael. i just wanted to ask how the pregnancy is going. how are you feeling? are you nesting like crazy? >> yeah, i mean, i definitely was nesting a little bit more a couple months ago. now i'm resting instead of nesting. but somehow i decided to put ou foyoryooy haven't been

resting. as you said, you put out "daisies" last week. what do you hope people take away from this song right now? >> you know, i think for me it's a song about going after your dreams and not caring about what anyone thinks about that or if they're too big. but i think in quarantine it's taken on a really -- kind of a different meaning about maybe we've all had this time to reflect and maybe we have taken things for granted or put certain dreams on a shelf that we always thought were accessible, and now when we get the freedom to live our lives, aren't we going to live our best lives and maybe fulfill some of those dreams that we have been thinking about for ten plus weeks? i know i am. i'm not going to take anything for granted anymore, especially wine after this pregnancy. >> i hear you, katy. i hear you on that one. you remarkable. shot for "daisies" and did it all socially distanced and a virtual reality shoot for "american idol." what's it been like being a performer in these quarantine times?

>> well, you got to kind of like jump on the train and hold on for dear life and get innovative or you get left in a weird way. i mean, not everyone is up to the challenge of putting out a record during a pandemic. some people are, like, okay, i'll chill for a second and wait this one out, but quite honestly, after my child comes, i'm going to go into my own other version of quarantine and i would like, you know, this record that i've been working on for two years to come out and be a gift to the public because i think we're all going to be dancing in the street at some point when it's safe but it's interesting when you are the hair, the makeup, the wardrobe, the lights and when you're all -- and you got to like really think outside of the box safely obviously so i think we're doing that, you know, coming up. this performance, i shot it in my backyard and right next to my

favorite tree in my backyard. so it was amazing to like utilize my own house in that way. >> well, we're definitely looking forward to that and know you've been keeping busy and mentioned that album, your fifth album dropping august 14th and you've been working on this for years. what can the fans expect? >> well, i think what they can expect is they can expect a record about resilience and finding kind of the light at the end of the tunnel because i've been writing it over the past two years and in the beginning of those two years they were really difficult. i was really kind of like -- i was kind of clinically depressed coming out of that, and didn't know what my life was, and if i was going to be -- i wouldn't really even imagine living to be completely honest, and now i feel like i've done the work and i'm still doing the work emotionally, spiritually, physically, psychologically and now i've come to this light at the end of the tunnel which means i am going to live and not only that i'm going to bring life into the world. so it ends in a positive place so far. >> we love your honesty.

that's very honest. we love that. we know a lot of artists are making a very difficult decision to delay releasing any new music. why did you go ahead with releasing your album? >> well, i think, you know, like i said earlier, it's just that i'm going to have, you know, i have two dates on the calendar and one of them is not changeable and that's my child coming. she's not going to just like hang out for 60 weeks. no way, no how. so i'm going to go and transition into being, you know, a mother, and i have this incredible body of music, and i was actually going to put it out sooner than i'm putting it out, and i just decided, look, these are -- this is a record full of songs of empowerment and resilience and joy and like maybe people want that kind of music to dance during the summer with. >> well no doubt. i tell you what, you always bring a lot of joy to the show because you are unabashedly

yourself. you are fun. we really appreciate the love you show us here at "gma" and showing the love back to you. >> thank you. > we have much more ahead this morning with katy perry. there we are. we get to see the baby bump. when we come back -- so sweet. congratulations, as always. >> thank you. love you. >> we'll have your performances. we cannot wait. we've been waiting all week for this and we love you as well and now we'll go to ginger. hey, ginger. hey, michael. when everybody is dancing to "daisies" from east coast to west coast we've got some sunrises to share with you and also a forecast so let's look at it. this morning a gorgeous one from new jersey. ooh, looking good. those waters though, could have some rip currents in them this weekend so watch that. san diego, california, always love jim grant's take and here we go, sunny and warm, especially the heat wave coming back to the southwest, some scattered storms in the middle. pretty warm, chicago, sunny and nice in the northeast on monday. let's get a chec
