abc's rachel scott is on that story from washington. rachel, good morning to you. >> reporter: dan, good morning. see places of prayer open immediately. this morning, religious leaders are weighing the call to worship in person against the risk of the coronavirus. this morning, the president's demand to reopen places of worship sparking praise and outrage. >> we'd like to thank our president today. >> we don't have to gather in a building to be the church. we can gather virtually. >> reporter: for the first time in weeks, solid rock baptist church in new jersey for open its doors for sunday services. defying state orders. >> we'll do things safely, sanitized and using social distancing. >> reporter: president trump calling on governors to allow churches, synagogues and mosques to hold in-person service this is weekend. >> the governors need to do the right thing. allow these essential places of faith to open right now. if they don't do it, i'll override the governors. >> reporter: it's unclear

whether president trump has the authority to do so. the cdc recently posted this graphic on twitter, showing how two people with the virus infected at least 35 others at a church gathering in arkansas back in march. now some religious leaders are saying returning to worship in person could cost lives. >> what's at risk is probably doing a bunch of funerals. what's at risk, children losing parents and grandparents. >> reporter: with coronavirus ravaging minorities, black congregations are still reeling from losses. bishop douglas wily tested positive for covid-19 himself. >> rather than rushing back into a building, i think we need to take into account all of the factors -- medical, social, >>epteic. ghsos. ey plan to resume church with or without the state's permission on may 31st.

>> as you can see, our sanctuary is empty. >> reporter: this weekend, virtual services will continue to connect religious communities. muslims are marking the end of ramadan without coming together. now, religious services gathering in person will look a lot different. new cdc guidelines are encouraging leaders to hold worship outside if possible and even limit singing because it may contribute to the transmission of the virus. dr. deborah birx on the white house coronavirus task force says states with high cases may still have to hold off. whit? >> many people heading out to church this morning, rachel, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we want to bring in our medical contributor, dr. todd ellerin. he has some ideas on how you and your family can stay safe from the virus this weekend. dr. ellerin, thanks so much for joining us. i want to start with churches, because this is a big test, first holiday weekend in the season of reopening you could call it, president trump basically deemed churches essential across the country. they are starting to reopen to some degree. what can people do as they head out to worship today to protect themselves and their families?

>> yes, good morning, whit. so it's important to recognize there have been outbreaks that have started in places of worship. we have to take this seriously. if you can do the services outside, where there's better ventilation, less likely to spread, and if you're inside, perhaps limiting the number of cac cacee -- other pew, and other things like universal masking. masking definitely decreases transmission and trying to avoid singing at least in this first phase. >> what about things like heading out to the beaches, we've seen the images of packed beaches. backyard barbecues, obviously, a memorial day pastime. is it still possible to gather with friends and family in a safe way? >> it is. we've heard this term quaran-teaming. t-e-a-m. so when you have the people in your bubble, you know, you can stay within six feet, but when you have other people gathering

that aren't in your bubble, that's when you really want to make sure you have your mask. make sure that your seats are more than six feet away from other people, and good hand washing. obviously frequent sanitizing of the bathrooms, the shower pavilions, those are very important, but the same principles that have kept us safe inside are more likely to be even safer outside because the virus, with ultraviolet radiation and the humidity, less likely to spread. >> and now more than ever, the pandemic, it's really up to individuals to be responsible as they head outside. dr. ellerin, thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. eva, over to you. now to the economic situation as americans face the worst downturn since the great depression. this morning as businesses began reopening, calls for ford to shut town a dearborn plant after two employees tested positive for covid. 25 people are quarantined. the plant reopened too soon. still, it's been a constant struggle for americans to make ends meet.

>> reporter: some are now turning to side jobs to make extra money for food and bills. >> right now since the pandemic i have four side hustles going right now, between nannying, yoga classes, grocery shopping for families and delivering product for my friend's company. it's been hard and hectic. >> reporter: house democrats passed a bill last week that seeks to buy more time for americans. the democrats proposed pushing an extension of the $600 per week federal backstop until january, 2021 rather than this july. senate majority leader, though, mitch mcconnell said the next coronavirus relief bill will not extend the benefit. dan? >> so much pain out there economically, physically, psychologically. deirdre, thank you. for more on all of this, let's bring in abc's martha raddatz who will be hosting "this week" later this morning. good morning. i want to bring that stunning image from the front page of "the new york times."

the list of the dead as america approaches the grim milestone of 100,000 fatalities. what impact does this number have most likely on the ongoing political and policy efforts to reopen the economy? >> well, i mean, first of all, dan, it's so important to remember every single one of those numbers is a name. is a family member. is a husband or a wife who contributed to our society in some way. that's a reminder that we all need to have at this point. but you also have a country clearly eager to start reopening, with all 50 states now reopening in some way, so it is that balance. we know that there has been this horrific loss. we know that there could be loss in the future, but people as you have said all morning, people are eager to get out, people are eager to get back to work, so it's that balance of the health risks and the economy that we've been facing for months. >> of course, there are health risks to keeping the economy closed, depression and many

other health risks. >> exactly. exactly. >> it's an incredibly tricky balance. on the show this morning, i know you're going to be talking about these striking and really disturbing racial disparities when it comes to the impact of this pandemic. what is -- we're seeing a disproportionate impact on african-american communities. what's being done on a policy level, if anything, to address these disparities? >> one of the things that's happening, and we're talking to mayor muriel bowser from washington, d.c., i know what she's trying to do and so many others to have people look at the root of the problem. why it's affecting these communities to a greater degree there? it's the lack of health care even before the coronavirus. it's the lack of grocery stores even before the coronavirus hit. it's the lack of hospitals. one of the things that they're doing here in d.c. is opening a

new covid ward in this hospital and in a new icu.ese ar tt eye >> the pandemic exposing old, old disparities and wounds in this culture, no question about it. martha, thank you so much. i want to remind everybody, martha has a big show this morning. she's going to go one-on-one with the white house coronavirus response coordinator. that's dr. deborah birx. plus, rahm emanuel and chris christie read the tea leaves on joe biden. that's coming up on "this week" later this morning right here on abc. whit, over to you. let's head outside and rob marciano getting a check of the forecast on this memorial day weekend. ofomes f t first ple heading out time in a long time, depending on you to deliver some decent weather. what's going on? >> yeah. well, the first third, whit, of the holiday weekend was rough for a lot of the country. there were multiple pockets of severe weather throwing down damaging wind, big hail, and there were 18 reported tornadoes across eight states already.

>> oh, yeah. it's on the ground. >> reporter: overnight, tornadoes breaking out in the midwest as severe storms march across the country. >> there goes the roof of their house. we got to get out of here. >> reporter: this twister caught on camera spinning just outside of iowa city. the powerful winds tossing debris, and ripping off the roof of a home. in illinois, that same system bringing heavy rain, strong winds and damaging hail to joliet, southwest of chicago. >> look at the size of the hail. >> reporter: this resident capturing the downpour of hail. in the texas panhandle a dramatic lightning show, watch as the bolt spreads across the sky. clean up after a ef-1 tornado, with winds of 95 miles per hour tore through there, leaving homes and businesses in shambles.an twe he stmss that g. so let's get to that and a pretty wide area of severe weather threat today especially across the midwest. there's severe weather posted
