we appreciate you joining us on this thursday morning. such a somber one as we mark that milestone of more than 100,000 lives lost here in the u.s. to the coronavirus since the start of this pandemic. >> robin, it is hard to believe it's been just over four months since the first known case was confirmed in our country and 13 weeks since we learned of the first death here. we want you to take a look at these pictures. these are just some of the faces of the grandparents, mothers, fathers, even children who have been taken by this disease. >> and, michael, to put that number into perspective, 100,000 is more than the number of u.s. military combat fatalities in every conflict since the korean war. >> and we continue to think of the families who have lost loved ones during the coronavirus. we continue with the breaking news overnight. we're talking about the protests and the chaos in the streets from minneapolis to los angeles. the anger erupting across the

country over the death of george floyd while in police custody. the minnesota governor calling the protests an extremely dangerous situation. alex perez starts us off in minneapolis with the very latest. good morning, alex. >> reporter: good morning, robin. those protests started right here at the scene peacefully but within hours turned very, very violent. police in riot gear struggling to keep things under control. smoke rising above minneapolis. parts of the city on fire as a second night of protests turning deadly. >> we're getting a lot of projectiles from the target line. northeast corner, left side. >> reporter: officers quickly losing control of unruly protesters spilling out from the intersection where george floyd was stopped by police on monday. >> tonight was a different night of protesting than it was just the night before. >> reporter: officers say one man was shot and killed amid the growing chaos in the streets. crowds descending on this shopping center leaving multiple

stores ransacked, looted or even set ablaze. the mayor of minneapolis now requesting assistance from the national guard as he joins the police in pleading for calm. >> people are there, truly there to honor the memory of the decedent and the family. this isn't how you do it. >> reporter: outrage over the death of george floyd leading to protests around the country. in los angeles, a human chain blocking traffic swarming police cruisers and smashing in windows before the officers are able to break through the crowds and escape. and tensions mounting in memphis as officers and protesters clashed. and this morning details on the officers in that disturbing video, abc news has confirmed the white police officer leaning on floyd's neck is derek chauvin. according to a police watchdog group he was among several officers investigated after a fatal shooting in 2006. a grand jury later declined to indict.

also in the video, officer tau thao, part of an unreasonable use of force lawsuit settled out of court in 2017. after swiftly firing the four officers, the mayor of minneapolis now calling for chauvin to be arrested. >> why is the man who killed george floyd not in jail? if you had done it or i had done it, we would be behind bars right now and i cannot come up with a good answer to that question. >> reporter: loved ones called floyd a gentle giant. a former nba player and close friend stephen jackson said losing floyd was like losing a family member. know and t people yo that cry for help in his voice -- >> reporter: it's important to note the family of george floyd through their attorney is pleading with protesters to remain peaceful.

they say they do not want to see anymore violence. robin? >> they were very clear about that. no more violence. okay. alex, thank you very much. you know, we hear these stories and we cannot become numb when we hear them. it's not just reacting to them but calling for action. calling for action for change. michael, when you spoke with george floyd's sister, bridgett, yesterday, she told you the concern that she has for her sons, not wanting this to happen to them or any other family. >> yeah, and, robin, i tell you, i think bridgett floyd's concern is a major concern for most families of children of color. you know, and what can we do? simply cannot forget this happened and move on like we've done in the past. i think this is something we have to stick with and have to keep fighting for change. only way it's going to change. >> i agree. >> thank you, guys. we turn now to the latest on the coronavirus emergency. the nation mourning the loss of more than 100,000 americans.

our chief national affairs correspondent tom llamas joins us with the latest as states continue to ease restrictions. good morning, tom. >> reporter: good morning, michael. we have to remember this is just happening over the last three months. when you put that number into context, this is one of the worst public health disasters of the last 100 years here in this country and even though hospitals here in new york and other former hot zones aren't seeing the levels of patients they once were, health officials are urging americans to please follow the guidelines. this morning, the grim reality, more than 100,000 american lives lost to the coronavirus. this as the virus' spread has significantly slowed but the number of new coronavirus cases is rising in 14 states across the country. >> we are moving forward. let us not forget the most vulnerable amongst us. >> reporter: california now the fourth state with at least 100,000 known infections as it eases restrictions and tries to restart its economy. >>a dor in azona who

she relin crds at sporng events to make ends meet. before the pandemic, she was going to move. but with no income, she tried to stay put. the court ruled against her. now she's been evicted from her home of 12 years. >> what's the next steps for you? >> homelessness. >> reporter: top infectious disease expert dr. anthony fauci saying a second wave is not inevitable as long as states re-open correctly. >> i am cautiously optimistic we would have a vaccine towards the end of this year and the beginning of next year. >> reporter: this as we mourn the lives already lost. beloved entertainers, health care workers, history makers and veterans. 100-year-old philip cannes was a decorated world war ii vet fighting in the pacific including the battle of iwo jima an air force veteran who won several battle stars. >> you know what this is? >> what? >> that's my flight because i was flying.

>> reporter: dr. james mahoney was a 62-year-old pulmonologist in brooklyn who died fighting on the front lines, putting off his planned retirement to continue his work. >> everybody loved him and everybody loved to be with him. he was such a giving person that, you know, you almost felt like whatever he had, you had. >> reporter: 5-year-old skylar herbert was the daughter of two detroit first responders. the kindergartner loved stuffed animals, dressing up in her princess dresses and playing with her grandmother's dog. a beloved member of our "gma" family, studio camera operator and musician, tony greer passing away from covid-19. and 35-year-old krist guzman who gave everything she had to help the most vulnerable. >> she seemed to like really treasure her time with her patients. >> reporter: so many lives lost

in the pandemic. but i do want to mention the vast majority of americans have survived this terrible virus and do want to leave you on one positive note. news we just found out about. there was a 103-year-old woman in massachusetts. she contracted the virus according to our boston affiliate wcvb while in a nursing home. her family didn't think she was going to survive, but she fought hard and she did survive and when they asked how she wanted to celebrate, she said with an ice cold bud light. i think we have the image there. she enjoyed that ice cold beer in her hospital bed. and when you're 103 years old and survive covid-19, you can celebrate any way you want. whit, back to you. >> she deserves it. we love hearing those positive stories, tom. but seeing the pictures of all those people who lost their lives, really puts it into perspective. thank you very much, tom. we turn to washington where president trump has been uncharacteristically quiet about hitting that 100,000 deaths milestone but tensions rising between the president and twitter after the social media giant put fact-check warnings on some of his posts. our senior white house correspondent cecilia vega has the details. cecilia, good morning.

>> reporter: hey, whit, good morning to you. the president had man taned the death toll from the coronavirus would have been significantly worse had it not been from him. he just tweeted we've just reached a very sad milestone with the coronavirus pandemic. deaths reaching 100,000. to all the families and friends, i want to express my heart felt sympathy and love for everything these people stood for and represent. god be with you. he's been very focussed on twitter fact checking him. the president threatening to take big action. we received a draft of the executive in the works. it's expected to rethink the scope of the law that prevents tech companies from being held liable. it has huge implications for free speech on social media and it would make good on the president's long-running threat

to take action against silicone vall valley. whit? >> all with the backdrop of the 2020 campaign season. cecilia, thank you so much. we appreciate it. robin, over to you. >> okay, whit. now to the latest on brazil emerging as the new epicenter of the pandemic. cases there surging and the daily death toll is now surpassing that of the u.s. our senior foreign correspondent ian pannell has the latest. >> reporter: this morning, another huge leap in coronavirus deaths in brazil. the country now the new epicenter of the pandemic. the death toll there now surpassing 25,000 with infections topping 400,000. brazil now has the fastest growth rate in the world with cases second only to the unitedr overflowing with patients. grave diggers barely able to keep pace with relentless rising cases. meanwhile here in mexico, the numbers also soaring with more

than 8,000 now dead. with spikes on both sides of the u.s./mexico border, concerns growing over large numbers of people still crossing. you can see there are thousands and thousands of vehicles crossing over from mexico into america, increasing the risk of spreading the virus. even so, mexico plans to relax restrictions for business and tourism next week with destinations like cancun re-opening to u.s. tourists. despite the plans to re-open the real concerns are that mexico isn't ready to go back to work and isn't ready to re-admit tourists to come to places like cancun. michael? >> want to thank ian pannell for that. now to all eyes that are on those new unemployment numbers that are due out later this morning. our chief business correspondent rebecca jarvis is tracking the very latest and, rebecca, several big companies are letting a staggering number of their employees go. >> reporter: good morning,

michael. another 2.1 americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. more than 40 million americans have lost their jobs over the course of the pandemic and crisis. overnight we learned from companies that are planning additional lay offs including american airlines which says they will lay off 30% of management and administrative workforce. boeing is going to cut 10% of its workforce. amtrak said they'll need to cut 20% of their workforce. perhaps the most optimistic aspect of the report are the number of americans filing continued claims for unemployment. that means people who have been laid off and need more help from the government. that number decreased ford the first time since this pandemic began by about 4 million. meaning people are going back to work as many states re-open. the question still is how many americans who have been laid off because of this crisis returned

to work? michael? >> unprecedented job loss. thank you so much, rebecca. whit. we turn to history on hold. with just minutes until liftoff, the first rocket launch from u.s. soil in nearly a decade was scrubbed. gio benitez is in cape canaveral, florida and mother nature just got in the way on this one. >> reporter: it sure did, whit. good morning to you. listen, you have that space ship right there. it's still on the launch pad. you've got that countdown clock now off. you know, this launch was scrubbed with just less than 20 minutes to go till liftoff there. overnight astronauts bob behnken and doug hurley sent out tweets thanking nasa and spacex saying they made the right decision. now, president trump and vice president pence were here. in fact, air force one flew right by that launchpad and you can see that right there. that's air force one. now the president says in a tweet that he's going to return on saturday. and that's because that's the next time that they can try to launch this. saturday at exactly 3:22 p.m.

but i got to tell you, whit, the weather is not looking great. at least the forecast isn't looking great. we're looking at 40% chance right now of the weather being good enough for a launch, whit. >> 40% chance. and so, gio, if the launch doesn't go on saturday, when can we expect it to happen again? >> reporter: well, they have sunday planned as well. but the forecast is not looking great there either. so, if that doesn't happen on su sunday, we're looking at a possible tuesday launch, whit. >> looks like you'll spend some time in cape canaveral, gio benitez for us, thank you so much. we're hoping for the next launch on saturday, again, you can watch take two of the shuttle launch on abc and abc newslive in partnership with nat geo on saturday beginning at 3:00 p.m. eastern. robin, over to you. >> okay, whit. now to tom hanks. you know what he's doing? he's a good man. he's giving back. the oscar winner lending a helping hand in the fight against covid-19. after recovering from coronavirus he and his wife rita wilson revealed back in march

they tested positive while in australia. well, hanks posting on instagram he donated plasma for the second time to help others on the road to recovery. the actor enthusiastically writing this caption on instagram, plasmatic on three -- two, three, plasmatic. guys, on three! >> he just messed it up again. >> new guy. my apologies. blame the new guy. >> no, no, no. >> tom hanks is always doing great thing, robin. >> yes. >> always inspiring. we are following a lot of other headlines this morning, you guys, including the new details on walt disney world's plan to re-open its gates, what ceo bob chapek says the future of the park will look like. also this morning, the latest on the college admissions scandal. the new details on lori loughlin. what we've just learned about when she will be sentenced and will she serve any time behind bars? and wearing a mask in the summer heat. what you need to know about fabric, color and fit to stay

safe and cool. first, let's go to rob at home. good morning, rob. >> reporter: hey, good morning from the front yard, michael. great to be with you. we'll start with what gio mentioned. the weather. this is two hours before launch. severe thunderstorm and see the rotating wall cloud there. one of the reasons they canceled that flight because of weather. some of that was because of bertha and the remnants of that tropical storm now in through the ohio river valley looking for heavy rain. tomorrow in front pushes towards the northeast and that could bring damaging storms to upper parts of pennsylvania. time for your summer cities brought to you by bed, bath and beyond.

incident. and that heartbreaking milestone this morning. 100,000 american lives lost to the coronavirus. the pandemic taking a tremendous toll on the american people. the number of new cases on the rise in at least 14 states but dr. anthony fauci saying a second wave is not inevitable if states re-open carefully. and on that note, whit, we are going to continue with walt disney world preparing to open its magical gates once again. our parent company, disney, announcing plans for the park to re-open in florida on july 11th. rebecca jarvis spoke to disney's ceo bob chapek about what could be in store for summer visitors and rebecca is back with that story for us. good morning again, rebecca. >> reporter: hi, robin. yeah, that's right. disney has submitted detailed plans to local officials outlining exactly how they're going to do this so that everyone in the parks, employees and visitors, can enjoy them safely and productively. while many things might look differt the goal is to keep that magic alive. overnight, disney unveiling plans to help make those magical moments possible again with a

phased re-opening of walt disney world starting july 11th. >> in order to go to full speed you got to start somewhere and we'll start from the beginning and we'll be very responsible in doing that. >> reporter: disney's ceo bob chapek outlining the new guidelines which include limiting attendance, requiring face coverings for all guests and staff, social distancing, plexiglas barriers, increased hand washing and sanitizer stations along with temperature and health screenings. how different is the park going to look when visitors enter now? >> well, you'll see a lot more areas that are taped off that are going to specify what six feet actually looks like in the park. you'll see a lot less density than you normally might cena disney park. while not everything will be open most will and that will, of course, do the math will turn into a much shorter wait time. >> reporter: disney, the parent company of abc news, drawing on its experience successfully re-opening shanghai disney and disney springs earlier this month. what has been the biggest challenge of re-opening the parks?

>> i think the biggest challenge in re-opening the park is the inherent sense of trust that the community places within disney. that is a bond. that is a contract that we would never ever want to violate and knowing that there's going to be some implicit risk in doing almost anything in a post-covid world, we need to make sure that when we do open up we're doing it very conservatively and in a measured way. >> reporter: chapek signaling a restart to the nba season at disney's espn wide world of sports complex in orlando could be in play. is that going to happen? >> well, we would be thrilled to see the nba finish out their season at walt disney world. as you know, ouridworld of sports facility is not only enormous but it's state-of-the-art. and we're in daily conversations with the nba to see if this is something that they want to happen. we certainly would like it to happen. >> reporter: i think that would be an exciting idea for a lot of people.

keep in mind everyone who enters the parks will need a reservation and in order to accommodate all those people who already had trips planned to disney world disney is not taking new reservations. they be working with people who have existing reservations, michael, to work out the details of those future plans. and i think i speak for all of us when i say we appreciate you, all of those disney cast members, for helping with this re-opening. >> absolutely. a lot of happy people when that opens up and as mr. chapek said shorter wait times. a lot of people smiled at that as well, rebecca. >> reporter: yes. >> appreciate it. as temperatures begin to climb and states continue to lift more restrictions, the big question is how to stay safe while enjoying summer fun. dr. ashton is standing by with why it's so important to keep wearing masks even in the summer heat. but first becky worley has some hot weather tips to help you stay cool behind a face covering. >> reporter: with summer heat starting to arrive, wearing a mask is more than just an inconvenience, it can feel

downright miserable. ooh. on a 78-degree day at my house in northern california, i use a remote thermometer to gauge the temperature of the mask i'm wearing. heat will definitely make it more difficult for people to be outside with masks on. it is not impossible and it is, in fact, very important. >> reporter: dr. anne rimoin is an infectious disease professor at ucla and worked studying ebola in africa. she says while wearing a mask in the heat is hard, there are some ways to make it comfortable. >> you want to wear a mask that is light in color because dark colors will draw -- will get hotter faster. draw the sun to you. >> reporter: sure enough my remote therm

105 degrees with a black mask. but with a lighter paper surgical mask, a little cooler, coming in at 94 degrees. dr. rimoin says to make sure it shouldn't be too tight. there should be a seal around the edge but room between your mouth and the cloth to allow for airflow. cotton masks are best because they absorb sweat. but they recommend taking extras with you so you can swap them out to avoid skin irritation. but if you're worried about wearing a mask in the heat, she says limit the time you'll need to be outside wearing one. >> making sure that you have something that is comfortable to you will make a very big difference. >> thank you, becky worley, for that great information. we bring in abc's chief medical correspondent dr. jennifer ashton with a few questions. we have a few questions for you, doc. everybody is eager to get out and enjoy the summer weather. how does being indoors versus outdoors impact the spread of the virus? >> according to a top epidemiologist from ohio state university think of four elements. time, space, people and place and let me show you what i mean. if you look at just the dynamics

of a sneeze, indoors under experimental conditions you can see the particles have been found to travel up to at least 26 feet. then if you take a situation indoors based on a real case report from china like a restaurant, for example, when one infected woman was found to infect people sitting as far as 15 feet away from her. again, you're talking about prolonged time, a lot of people in an indoor space. so i think that really makes sense. >> the sneezing graphic really gave us a good indication of how big the spread can be. but what do we know about why masks are so important for everybody to wear? >> well, there was a great demonstration in diane sawyer's recent special that i think really illustrates it. masks literally work as a barricade or barrier that can block the number of particles that are released into the

environment. so on the left you see someone, no mask, just speaking. on the right with a mask, you can see there's a big difference and, again this, is under controlled environment just talking, michael. so the masks can be effective to protect others. >> when it comes to re-opening and summer activities, people try to judge what i do, what don't i do, what is high risk versus low risk? >> well, to be clear first of all the since on this is still evolving but some commonsense stratification of risk here. we think at this time that high-risk activities would include going to indoor restaurants because, again, time, space, people, place, all at play there. religious gatherings, birthday parties, indoor celebrations or events like weddings or funerals and then low risk activities, basically things outdoors, beach, pool, camping, staying at a hotel generally low risk, small backyard gatherings, again, outside. no such thing as zero risk but low risk. >> you got to weigh the risk and reward. thank you, dr. ashton, really appreciate you.

back now with the latest on the college admissions cheating scandal. lori loughlin's sentencing date has been set as we learn new details this morning about why the actress and her husband

changed their plea to guilty. deborah roberts has been following this story. deb, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, whit. loughlin is going to spend the bulk of her summer waiting to see how much time she's going to do. but in the meantime, we are learning a little bit more about why this couple who vowed to fight finally gave in. in their surprise guilty plea last week lori loughlin and mossimo gee giannulli a deal they rejected nearly a year ago. loughlin pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud. her husband admitting to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud. she accepted a two-month prison term. he, five. >> previously lori and her husband really didn't want any jail time so they rejected any offer where jail was on the table. >> reporter: so what led the couple to suddenly reverse course after fighting prosecutors for so long?

"people" quoting sources saying the pressure was too great and that the experience has taken a huge emotional and physical toll on both of them. >> because this isn't a whole lot of time and because they'd be able to move on quickly they decided now was the time to take a deal. >> reporter: that deal struck after the couple was accused of paying $500,000 to rick singer to get their two daughters into usc as rowing recruits, though neither girl rowed competitively. the source telling "people" magazine loughlin was in the driver's seat regarding the couple's decision to plead guilty. >> she was the one who was rejecting the offers first off, because she had a specific idea of how she thought this needed to be done. >> reporter: now a judge will decide whether to accept the terms of the deal and where the two will report to prison and if their term could be cut short due to concerns over the pandemic. some nonviolent offenders are currently being offered >> i think it is almost certain that they will have to serve

time behind bars and if the reason they made this deal was because of covid, i think that may end up coming back to bite them. >> reporter: in the term, the prison -- or in the deal the prison terms won't begin until 90 days after sentencing which means the couple probably won't report to prison till fall. whit? >> a significant development in that case, deborah, thank you so much. coming up here next, our "play of the day." , our "play of the day."

♪ open up our hearts and let the whole world in ♪ ♪ let's try to make amends when life is good again ♪ >> reporter: "when life is good again" all about the challenges people are facing in this unsettling time and finding the silver lining. in one line dolly sings she promises to be more thoughtful and in the moment when life is good again. assuring listeners that we will get to the other side of this and there can be great lessons to take away from the pandemic. by the way, this isn't the only quantine.ol durg in aprilhe launched a web series called "good night with dolly" where she reads to children. parton also donated $1 million to vanderbilt university to fund research the school is doing on finding a cure for the virus. one thing is for sure life is good when dolly is in it.

and for anyone who relies on lipreading to understand what people are saying, masks are a problem. but some very thoughtful and creative employees at a best buy in pennsylvania came up with a great solution. they did it for dennis perry, the general manager at their store in easton who is hard of hearing. when he heard everyone had to wear masks, threw's seeing it. the story is when he heard everyone was wearing masks he was nervous he wouldn't be able to do his job since he relies on reading lips. they came up with these. they are custom face masks with clear vinyl panels. you can see people's mouths through them. perry saying, quote, it has been a godsend to be able to communicate with my staff. perry also says that there is another benefit being able to see people's smiles. couldn't agree more. do miss seeing more of those. finally a bigfoot sighting, everyone, in an unlikely place. the creature apparently likes

you had a trifecta this morning and with riva. >> reporter: thank you, my friend. >> always good. always good. thank you, lara. we move on to our "gma" cover story. we're taking you inside the mall of america before it re-opens monday and the biggest shopping mall in the country is of course, making big changes to help keep customers and workers safe. will reeve joins us with more on all of that. good morning, will. >> reporter: hey, good morning, robin. as businesses around the country move to re-open they have to change the way they operate and we got an exclusive look at how the biggest, most famous mall in the nation can preparing to let shoppers back inside. mall of america is the largest shopping mall in the country. usually servicing over 100,000 customers per day. now that number is being cut in half. >> the state of minnesota is requiring us to be at 50% capacity and by us reducing our parking capacity actually reduces the overall visitor capacity to about 35%. >> reporter: the iconic mall

will officially re-open its doors on june 1st with a variety of safety measures in place to keep customers and employees protected. the biggest changes immediately apparent. inside shoppers will be strongly encouraged to wear masks and can expect to see plexiglas between customers and cashiers, floor decals to promote social distancing and touchless hand sanitizer dispensers. >> it's also important for elevators to have social distancing markers and we restricted this to just guests with strollers and those who have mobility challenges. >> reporter: the mall will also have shorter hours to make time for additional cleaning and alternative services like curbside pickup will still be available. >> we recognize that shopper behavior has changed as we've all been quarantined and use a lot more online services and curb side, so we'll continue to offer those services, especially for guests not quite ready to come inside our building.

>> reporter: independent stores there are implementing additional changes. the electronic store beta is doing what they call guided tours bringing one customer around the store at a time. then doing a deep clean before the next shopper gets their turn. amy? >> whenever it takes, will. thank you so much. and now to our series "summer skin glow" with ways to take care of your skin as the weather heats up. this morning, though, it's all about those masks. they have become obviously a big part of our daily lives and as a result a lot of people are now dealing with breakouts because of them. dermatologist dr. whitney bowe joins us with more on how to combat what's being called maskne. good morning, dr. bowe. tell us what maskne is. >> yeah, so maskne is basically acne or breakouts underneath the mask and it results from the mechanical friction of the fabric against the skin combined with all the moisture that gets trapped underneath the mask and, amy, that is only going to get worse as the weather gets warmer. so it's just so important to learn how to prep, take care of our skin to prevent it from becoming a major issue.

>> the weather has heated up and noticed a big difference in how it feels to wear the mask. how do you treat mask-ne? >> two favorite ingredients are retinol and glycolic acid. less is more. if you try to use either one every single night you'll be trading one problem for another because you'll end up with dry inflamed patches of skin. now, if you just have one or two blemishes you can always start with a spot treatment. look for the ingredient salicylic acid. >> that's good. you also mention the two have some prep before you put your mask on. what should we do before we do that? >> you always want to start with clean skin. ideally start with a gentle water-based cleanser, look for words like hydrating or ph balance and then you want to pat dry and immediately apply a lightweight moisturizer, fragrance free and have ingredients that strengthen the skin barrier like niacinamide, glycerin, those are great and

then you want to wait, so i tell my patients, wait for 15 minutes before applying moisturizer or sunscreen and your mask. i personally on the days i'm wearing my n95, i'll wait a full 30 minutes because i want all those ingredients to soak into my skin if i'm trying to create that seal. >> create that barrier then you get home and take it off. what should we be doing in terms of our skin care? >> so if you're done wearing the mask for the day, cleanse again and this time you want to apply a richer heavier moisturizer, ideally one that contains ingredients like shea butter or ceramides. >> you say it's not just about treating your ski but treating your mask as well. >> yes, really good point. if you're wearing a reusable mask like this, you have to wash it frequently. i actually toss mine in the hamper every day. if i go running, if i exercise in this mask, i'll throw it in the hamper and put on a nice

clean mask. you want to prevent any debris, bacteria from building up in the mask. that will make it worse. >> makes sense. the good news if we are breaking out and wearing masks no one can see it. that's the win/win. i like it. >> the silver lining, amy. >> silver lining. dr. bowe, thank you so much. for dr. bowe's step-by-step guide on how to avoid breakouts caused by masks this summer you can go to our website goodmorningamerica.com. robin? >> reporter: simple solution, amy, just cover it up. good morning, amy. hello, everyone. we moved out to the suburbs about a year aitat it's teeming with wildlife. this captured yesterday outside my dining room window. this deer having a little nibble on a rose bush we bought from the local nursery when they told us it was deerproof. nothing is really deerproof. a little baby deer we saw in the neighborhood a couple of days ago. we were concerned that the mom left him but lo and behold this morning on this lawn where i stand right now, little bambi good morning.

our guy whit, this is one of your girls' favorite. >> the line where the sky meets the sea, it calls me. of course, we're talking about "moana." >> oh, boy. >> calls my daughters as well. here they are singing. i apologize for my singing. they're much better than i am with the grass skirt and the moana wig. for us it's personal because my wife is from hawaii so we've got in-laws in the islands and they go all the time. shoutout to moana valley, honolulu. of course, "moana" streaming on disney plus. great for the family. >> streaming on disney plus, and whit's version is not streaming anywhere. thank goodness. >> no, it's not. nope. perhaps on youtube. >> if you need to dance because a lot of people love to dance, lady gaga's new album "chromatica" drops tomorrow. we already love the singing "stupid love" and saw earlier "rain on me" with ariana grande. and i know, amy, you're a dancing machine. you got to be excited. >> i've got that cheesy sign in
