and protesters tell me while symbols like this one in front of the white house are powerful they say it's not enough. they want to see action from the president and their lawmakers. dan? >> they want real change. another big day in washington. rachel, thank you. as rachel mentioned the president is glowing about most recent jobs numbers, the economy gaining 2.5 million jobs in may and unemployment rate going down which virtually nobody expected. but still the pandemic has deeply damaged the economy. so let's bring in economist and abc news contributor austan goolsbee. austan, good morning to you. let's start with something rachel scott mentioned. the unemployment rate went down overall but ticked up slightly for black americans. is there a danger that black people will be left out of the recovery? >> there is some danger of that. i mean it was a strong month, but it followed the worst month that we have ever had. and we've got to come back, but if that's going to be focused and heighten the income
7:13 am
disparities that existed before covid ever arrived, i think there's going to potentially be an issue there. >> so this pandemic and the recovery such as it is could end up exacerbating these racial inequities. while the overall numbers in the report do look pretty good, 2.5 million new jobs, you have warned that this might actually be false hope. why? >> well, it was a very strong report and it's great that we got a positive number when everybody was expecting a negative. but the thing to remember is we lost 21 million jobs the month before. so add 2.5, that's a start. more than half the jobs were focused just in the restaurant sector. so we want to be careful to distinguish a real turnaround from just a blip that are just temporary jobs coming back.
7:14 am
hopefully this is the sign of a full turnaround but right now it's focused in one sector and it's not big enough. >> let's hope this is the start of a full turnaround. the federal government has been spending trillions of dollars trying to prop up the economy. at this point, do we know yet whether that was money well spent? >> we probably don't know yet. much of that money was not kind of traditional stimulus where you're trying to jump start the economy. it was really just relief and as i say it was sort of like burning money to stay warm while the heat is on. >> we appreciate your analysis on a saturday morning. thank you very much. eva, over to you. now to where things stand with the pandemic. we have more areas re-opening even as 18 states and puerto rico report increasing numbers of cases and there's the question of whether the protests will make the outbreak worse. abc's trevor ault has that story.
7:15 am
>> reporter: with massive gatherings popping up in hundreds of american cities, this morning, there's mounting concern about a lack of distancing and masks. the world health organization now issuing new guidelines recommending medical grade face coverings in crowded areas and everywhere for people over 60 with health issues as 18 states and puerto rico are reporting an increase in covid-19 cases. >> we've gotten a little lackadaisical about this horrific virus that hasn't gone away from the world or from our communities. >> reporter: this week florida amid an increase in testing saw its biggest spike in cases so far. while in texas, houston has seen cases climbing stead a health department official says it's unfair to place the blame on protesters. >> if anything, it's going to be the re-opening of society and, you know, people becoming fatigued, if you will, with the precautions we've asked them to take. >> reporter: pennsylvania officials say erie county is in
7:16 am
the midst of a possible outbreak, but a dozen other counties in the state have now transitioned into the next phase of re-opening granting access to salons, gyms and indoor dining with restrictions. >> the phones have been nonstop, can i make reservations? we're not doing reservations because we only have six tables. >> reporter: in illinois the governor signed an executive order allowing in-person summer schools to resume, while california will allow schools, day camp, bars, gyms and professional sports in friday. and already las vegas hotel casinos and wayne newton and flamingo show girls in bedazzled face masks welcoming gamblers for the first weekend back. >> it's like going back to school first day at class, we'r re-opening starts reporting hospitalizations have gone up from 48 to 84. the mayor says that spike is not
7:17 am
from the protests, but is urging all protesters to get tested and for new york state as a whole, much better news from governor andrew cuomo. >> 42 deaths, the lowest number since we started. eight weeks ago we had 800. >> reporter: on new york's long island a spaced out celebration for the first graduating class of the academy high school. >> tania will attend ithaca college. >> reporter: seniors grateful for an in-person commemoration complete with a parade of cars. >> this is great. i never smiled so much in my life. this is the best day of my life. >> reporter: the u.s. and the rest of the world continue to hang their hopes on a vaccine. and president trump has announced 2 million units of a possible vaccine could be ready by the end of the year if it passes all its clinical trials. of course, that's a still a big if right now. whit? >> a lot of people watching the numbers in the days ahead. trevor ault, thanks so much. we want to turn to weather and rob marciano is in new orleans this morning as they
7:18 am
prepare for cristobal to potentially make landfall. rob, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, whit. we are in scenic jackson square, quiet and peaceful this morning. last night it was the scene of thousands of peaceful protesters and in anticipation of that potentially getting worse and i guess the storm, this is what we saw around the french quarter. stores and businesses and restaurants completely boarded up. about 90% of them closed. i have never seen new orleans this quiet and empty even before katrina. so stark scenes with a three punch of covid-19, protests and also this, cristobal, which is in the center of the gulf of mexico with 45-mile-an-hour winds. doesn't look like the classic tropical storm. that's good news. the bad news it loda seeing bands of this roll in and you will continue to see heavy rain. you don't need it, i know. the florida panhandle, you can use a little bit of the rain, but you don't want the wind and waves. you'll probably get that. you don't need that.
7:19 am
tropical storm warnings all the way to the panhandle. landfall, 60-mile-an-hour winds late tomorrow with wind and waves and diminishing after that and the flooding is going to be an issue, especially east of the ce good saturday morning. pretty view of santa cruz before those winds begin to pick up. it's going to be a windy weekend with the windiest conditions along the coast. the upper elevations. and that will bring down the temperatures certainly by the second half of our weekend. but then we will reverse that trend as we start the workweek. 68 today in oakland. only 72 in livermore. and the accuweather seven-day forecast shows some cool and breezy >> reporter: new orleans eerily quiet on many levels, but still quite beautiful before the storm gets here. guys, back up to you. >> always beautiful. always beautiful. rob, thank you very much. really appreciate it. in a time of so much fear, anger and division in america,
7:20 am
there really have been striking acts of unity and courage out there. abc's diane macedo has more. >> reporter: across the country protesters are taking to the streets demanding racial justice and prompting acts of solidarity in support of the black community. in south orange, new jersey, white members of soma justice a group of community organizers held a so-called die-in at the town's busiest intersection. it lasted 8 minutes and 46 seconds, the same amount of time a police officer had his knee on george floyd's neck. >> i think there was something very important for me and for women who look like me to see white people sacrificing their comfort and safety. to recognize my humanity. >> reporter: after some tension with protesters, a minnesota national guardsman decided to try a different approach. >> so for the men and women and children that came out last night to have their voices heard, we heard it and we're going to stay back behind invisible so that you can't see us. is that okay?
7:21 am
>> all: yeah. >> reporter: what's your advice to fellow law enforcement officials on the frontlines right now? >> just literally take your glove off and your helmet off and stick your hand out and introduce yourself. that really speaks volumes. >> reporter: the call for change literally reached new heights when a black flight attendant spotted a white passenger reading a book titled "white fragility," it sparked an emotional conversation about race. >> by having that book it opened up the door for me to have a conversation with him. it was an affirmation for me. >> the passenger later revealed his title, ceo of american airlines. and in cyberspace reddit co-founder alexis ohanian announced he's resigning from the board of reddit urging his company to fill his seat with a black candidate. >> i'm saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks what did you do. >> reporter: activists say other ways to support the fight is

7:31 am
in a tweet friday president trump says it was a mistake for new orleans saints quarterback drew brees to apologize for his stance against players kneeling in protest against police brutality. i'm a big fan of drew brees. he should not have taken his original stance back on honoring our magnificent american flag. there are other things you can protest but not our great american flag. no kneeling. the super bowl winning quarterback firing back, writing through my ongoing conversations with friends, teammates and leaders in the black community, i realize this is not an issue about the american flag. it never has been. we can no longer use the flag to turn people away or distract them from the real issues that face our black communities. brees' comments earlier in the week erupted across the sports world leading to a powerful video from numerous star nfl players. >> what would it take?
7:32 am
>> for one of us to be murdered by police brutality? >> reporter: roger goodell changed his stance taking the side of the players. >> we, the national football league, believe black lives matter. >> reporter: without addressing president trump's comments he delivered a stunning reversal. >> we the national football league admit we were wrong for not listening to nfl players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. >> reporter: goodell says he has personally protested with those around the country pushing for change and is actively telling players to peacefully do the same. ♪ the land of the free >> without black players, there would be no national football league. and the protests around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality and oppression of black players, coaches, fans and staff. we are listening. i am listening. >> reporter: the commissioner also made no specific reference to former quarterback colin kaepernick who began kneeling during the national anthem before games to call attention to racial injustice. the former san francisco qb has not played in the league for
7:33 am
four years with teams refusing to sign him. >> believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. >> reporter: goodell's statement comes three years after the president first took on the league on a deeply divided issue. >> get that son of a [ bleep ] off the field. >> reporter: this week, it pledged more than $60 million to causes that fight against systemic racism. deirdre bolton, abc news, new york. now to the growing calls across the nation to defund the police. but what does that mean? what could it look like? and will it make our communities safer? abc's byron pitts with more. >> reporter: viral incidents like these caught on camera over the years. >> i can't breathe. >> reporter: kindling for the fire burning across america this morning as protests continue. [ crowd chanting ] among the chants for justice is a growing call from activists to defund the police. even celebrities pushing the issue. black lives matter organizer and
7:34 am
actor kendrick sampson talked ti stance on the issue. >> we don't want anybody to take a knee. it does not give our communities the resources that they actually need for mental health care, for relief from covid, from the things that would keep us safe, not cops. we're calling for defunding the police. >> reporter: with rising talk about defunding the police, what exactly does it look like? advocates say it's about scaling back. over the last three decades police budgets across the country have risen into the billions. >> what we're not willing to pay for is an outcome or interaction or public safety that is unfair or discriminately treats communities differently throughout this country. >> reporter: new york taking the lead with approximately $6 billion, the largest funding for any police department in the u.s. scaling back would mean smaller budgets where funds are allocated back to community programs like affordable housing and public health. >> that conversation brings us
7:35 am
to an evaluation of where our money is being allocated and how is it being spent. >> reporter: the push for defunding comes plans of action. mayors in some metro areas promising cutbacks outside of pre-existing efforts for police reform. in los angeles, mayor eric garcetti saying earlier this week they will look into taking out nearly $150 million from the city's roughly $2 billion police budget. but there is strong opposition to the idea. the l.a. police union responding in a letter to possible budget reductions saying eric has apparently lost his expletive mind. police reform in those cities already seeing some improvements. in 2019 use of force in san francisco was down 30%. in los angeles, police shootings have declined in each of the past four years down to 12% in 2019. >> so many interesting policy discussions happening right now and that's what these protesters
7:36 am
want. they want the discussions and then they want the action. our thanks to byron pitts from "nightline" for that report. let's switch gears because we have a big weather story. tropical storm cristobal nearing both the florida panhandle and new orleans and that's where we find our rob marciano right there in new orleans this morning. rob, what's the latest? >> reporter: well, dan, it's a moderate tropical storm right now. it's accelerating in this direction. just yesterday when it got back over the water the air force went back up, the hurricane hunters fired up their planes, they got in the air delivering us valuable information. there's information on the ground and in the air as well. so what we think is going to happen is continued strengthening with this, likely staying below hurricane strength. not that well structured but it's going to have a ton of rainfall, not just florida or the gulf coast but look how it goes all the way up really in the mississippi valley. pretty fast moving system. here we'll see a foot of rain. these pumps can't handle it. new orleans is below sea level so that will be an issue sunday, monday. there's some of that rain.
7:37 am
storm surge an issue. whenever a storm gets in this part of the gulf of mexico under the water and bathymetry and the angles of the coastline, you get amplified storm surge, so anywhere from one to five feet of surge not just through louisiana but all the way down towards marco island. about 900 miles of coastline we will see a storm surge for a significant amount of time. keep that in mind if you live near the coastline. that's a check of what's happening on cristobal. time for a look at your local forecast. good saturday morning. here semryville. you can see the low clouds in the distance. sunshine on the way. we won't get rid of the wind. it will stay blustery and brisk throughout the day. 60s and 70s for most. >> reporter: this weather report sponsored by blue buffalo. thank goodness it's not expected to be a powerful hurricane. in case it was, the covid era has allowed me to have a natural helmet from flying debris in the way of my hair. so i'm prepared on many levels.

we're back with today's weekend download making sure we're protecting ourselves in the best ways possible from covid-19. and the world health organization is providing some new guidance on wearing masks. joining us now is dr. todd ellerin, an abc news medical contributor and infectious disease physician. doctor, always great to see you. thanks for joining us this morning. there are some areas still seeing a rise in covid cases and even places seeing decreases. we want to make sure we're diligent because we want to keep it that way. walk us through the new guidance specifically on the masks. >> yes, good morning, whit. so basically a little background. so within the past week, "the lancet" came out with a study that was funded by the w.h.o. and it looked at over 170 different studies from around the world, over 25,000 patient
7:49 am
interactions and what it showed was that masks, eye protection and physical distancing decreased the risk of covid transmission. so based on this, w.h.o. just recently on friday changed its guidance and is now recommending that everyone go out with masks, especially if you're within six feet of someone and there is a potential for covid transmission. now, they also recommended how to use masks safely. and hand hygiene is very important for that. you want to make sure you wash your hands so you're not contaminating your mask when you take it on or take it off. and so that's extremely important. now, mr. tedros, the head of w.h.o., the director general, said masks alone are not enough. you need to consider the other infection control bundles like hand hygiene and like physical distancing. put another way, masks are not a
7:50 am
license where we can just run up to someone and get close to them for an extended period of time. you want to keep that pandemic distance. three feet is good but six feet or more is better especially if you have someone with chronic conditions or elderly. >> one other thing i wanted to ask you about too, we understand there is growing concern from the cdc about how people are using disinfectants and cleaning their home, even reports of people gargling with things like bleach. what is some of the new information and guidance we're getting? >> okay, so environmental hygiene is really important but some of these chemicals can be dangerous. so a couple of tips. the first one, you don't want to -- you don't want to clean food with bleach, okay. secondly, you don't want any of the chemicals touching your skin. you don't want to inhale or ingest these disinfectants and very importantly you don't want to mix bleach with something like vinegar because that can create a chlorine gas. so you're sort of inviting
7:51 am
chemical warfare on yourself. and lastly you want to keep these products away from children and remember to wear gloves whenever you're cleaning with these disinfectants. >> sadly we've seen reports of people misusing these chemicals. dr. ellerin, thanks. appreciate it. talk to you soon. be back in just a bit with our "play of the day." see ya! heartworm disease? no way! simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. and simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. it's simple: go with simparica trio. this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. protect him with all your heart. simparica trio. ask sherwin-williams. we're offering curbside pickup. call your local store or order online and pick up color chips, paint,
