the virus. rockefeller plaza, this is the the main emphasis was about th antibody test themselves, number one, we're not sure about their reliability because they have "3rd hour today." >> good morning are morning. been pushed out so quickly welcome to the third hour of passport people talking about certificate of immunity. they are concerned because they think people might be using that "today." craig melvin in studio 1a, al erroneously and it gives them a false sense of security. and sheinelle rking at home. may not feel like spring but they still want social we're trying to do our part in distancing not going out thinking i have immunity, i can do whatever i the third hour to bring the want. season indoors you've got the spring graphic behind me, behind al roker as well >> back to the primary opponent al, certainly didn't look like -- point there. we don't have the study yet to spring outside your window. >> no, it didn't show there's some immunity after somebody has had this virus. woke up this morning, and we had is there any reason to think a couple o this wouldn't track with other viruses so there's some level of immunity >> at this point there's no reason to think it won't be like other coronaviruses where you do get a level of immunity. what they don't know is what level of antibodies do you need to get some of that immunity and how long will that immunity last what they have found out is some

people have high levels of antibodies other people who had infections, verified infections aren't showing levels of antibodies they aren't sure what that means and it's going to take years to figure that out. they are trying to make sure people don't have that false sense of security saying i have antibody and therefore i can do whatever i want. they don't have to necessarily take the precautions they are saying, number one, again, they aren't that accurate and number two, people aren't getting people infected. >> why have the antibody tests been so inaccurate, false positives, different types, a black market out there why is this such a confusing area >> it's not just a confusing area in the u.s., it's around the world. if you remember uk they ordered antibody tests from china. they are asking for refunds because the tests aren't that good it's one of these things, this virus has come on so fast and so quickly, it's hard to get a test that quick and that accurate

there have been stumbles along the way at validating the tests an whether they can validate them they are pushing them out faster than some scientists think they should that is giving us tests we don't want or need that's going to take years to get. in the meantime these tests can help a little bit but they aren't as reliable as we want or need them to be. >> thank you for your time hoda, over to you. >> to a troubling new warning about the nation's food supply which was already major concern on the minds of many consumers it's coming from one of the country's top meat companies kerry sanders has been covering that story for us. he's in ft. lauderdale this morning. hey, kerry, good morning. >> good morning. this morning there is a warning that our nation's meat supply is about to be tested ranchers report in the last seven days they have sent 30% fewer cattle to market because the meat processors can't handle it it not just beef same thing with pork and also chicken. what that means to us is we may

see less meat at the grocery store. >> the food supply chain is breaking that's the warning in a full page add from tyson foods released in the "new york times" on sunday. it comes after one of the country's largest meat processors closed a massive pork processing plant in iowa because of a coronavirus outbreak. the letter from tyson's president going on to say, there will be limited supply of our products available in grocery stores until we're able to reopen our facilities that are currently closed. >> ambulances started coming to the plants, people started being carrie out of there so we were always asking our supervisors, basically, what is it that's going on here. >> nbc news talked to one tyson worker at that iowa plant who concealed their identity. >> didn't have enough material or masks or things like that to provide to us, so they started giving us different types of rags they had that they had washed clean.

>> tyson responding telling nbc news, we've been working diligently to protect our team members. early on we allowed workers to bring their own masks. we even supplied some until we could secure surgical-style coverings which we now require all team members to wear. adding, we aren't aware of any ambulance visits to the plant for covid-19 reasons. nbc news has not been able to independently confirm ambulances at the tyson plant. tyson's waterloo plant, one of several closed across the country, shut down by beef, pork, and poultry companies trying to contain virus outbreaks. the ceo of the national cattleman's beef association says he fears things are only going to get worse. >> if we start to see panic buying much like we did the first two weeks of this pandemic, yes, we're going to have an issue on our hands, there's no doubt about it. >> meat suppliers, processors say in their freezers they have a supply of beef, pork, and

plants are closed, the faster the nation's meat supply will dwindle. savannah. >> that's going to get a lot of people's attention this morning, kerry, thank you. now to another story we are following closely, the misery and growing speculation surrounding the health and whereabouts of north korea's leader kim jong-un. today senior international correspondent keir simmons has the latest on this. keir, good morning. >> reporter: hey, savannah, good morning. the rumors are really swirling now including one suggesting that kim jong-un's surgeon's hands were shaking in fear. u.s. officials have told nbc news of indications kim jong-un has had cardiovascular surgery. but as always with north korea, it's hard to get to the truth. kim jong-un has not been seen in public for more than two weeks. these images are thought to show the supreme leader's train at the north coast at a luxury

>> you thank kim jong-un for this? >> yes. >> whatever the truth, this woman may be central behind the scene. kim jong-un's sister represented him at the winter olympics and accompanied him during his two summits with president trump. it's possible, of course, that kim jong-un is in lockdown over the coronavirus. but savannah, it's so important, because, remember, north korea is a nuclear-armed nation. if it lost its leader, a weakened world would face another crisis. savannah. >> all right. keir simmons, thank you very much. it is 7:17, hoda, send i to you. >> good news. finally back home with their families this morning after they were stranded in the caribbean without a flight home because of the whole coronavirus lockdown. the dutch students were in the caribbean on an educational cruise. they were supposed to fly back from cuba. they couldn't get a flight, so organizers booked them on a 200

and what small businesses can do to stay afloat senior business correspondent stephanie ruhle. steph, good morning. i know a lot of small business owners are waiting for this day. if you haven't applied at all, can you get in on it what if you already had an application in that was denied >> let's walk through this because you and i both know how important this money is. according to the small business association, every hour a small business closes. we've got to get the money out let's walk through it. today the port always open if you have applied, contact your bank, find out where you are in the process there's a huge backlog some of the biggest banks out there, jpmorgan, pnc, they aren't even accepting new applications they have hundreds of thousands in process ready to go so if you've applied with them, what you need to do today is pick up the phone and say what other information do you need about me, i'm here to do that. let's say you haven't. you shouldn't give up until the opportunity is there

you said there's over 300 billion in new funds available call local banks the government has set aside $60 billion for smaller lenders, community banks. call around. you're allowed to apply with one or more institutions don't think, oh, my goodness, could i be committing fraud here, i'm calling multiples? absolutely not apply where you can. there's non-tra additional like a paypal or a square if you're a small business and say i don't have a sophisticated payroll system you need to you're going to have to have your payroll, utilities, bank statement. if you don't provide this information, you won't have access to the money. >> okay. there's this program, ppp program. there's also federal reserve talking about loans to main street businesses. what is that about it's obviously separate.

how do you get in on that? >> okay. that isn't happening just yet but think about this over the last week there's been all this pushback. why were so many bigger businesses in this program the government realized, savannah, if you run a business with two people, should you be competing for the same pot of money as me who has a company of 500? so now what they are looking to do is create a main street lending program for those mid-sized businesses that's going to come, we should be on the lookout in the next few weeks. it's not going to be a forgivable loan like ppp but it will help some of those bigger businesses i want to remind our audience, those who want ppp, because it is forgivable, that's awesome, you don't have to pay it back, it's only forgivable if you keep all of your employees on i realize that's really tricky imagine, savannah, if you ran a local restaurant as these days are passing and you're shut down, you're likely to lay those employees off if you want to get this money, you're going to need to bring them back on. >> so if you've already had to lay people off but you want to get in on this money you could rehire them and still have access to the loan

correct me if i'm wrong on that, i want to mention what you just alluded to some of these bigger businesses, household names have gotten some of this first round of funding from the ppp. what's happening with that are they cracking down on this next round >> they are. it's really tricky, savannah you could argue what in the world were they doing there to begin with, they shouldn't have. if you ran a business and had access to the money, there's a good chance you would apply. they changed some of the rules so some of the more financial focused businesses, hedge funds, private equity funds, they can't apply. some bigger nations, auto nation, ruth chris steakhouse, shake shack, they already gave their money back there's a lot of publicly traded companies in there treasury secretary steve mnuchin said companies in there that shouldn't be will face serious consequences the issue is a lot of them were allowed to be in the program the truth is, any business with the exception ofnext f

pharmaceuticals, some big retailers like amazon, any business, savannah, is suffering. they are going to be over the next few months. the one other thing i would bring up, this money is going to go very quickly. there's $320 billion in the new program. just yesterday the ceo of bank of america said the government needs to put more money in this. savannah, we're preparing ourselves from a health perspective to possibly deal with this for the next year. but from a financial perspective, we're only thinking about it for the next couple of months i'm right now in new jersey kind of on a jersey shore town. if these businesses are closed for four months, we're going to lose this whole region so the government doesn't start looking at what this is going to do for a much longer period of time, we could be in trouble for today, any small business out there, we've got to help them it is time to apply. ppp, this is your day. >> don't delay stephanie, thank you so much it is 8:18, let's get a check of the weather for mr. roker.

>> welcome back monday morning. millions have been tuning into "last dance" fascinating basketball documentary about michael jordan we heard from another icon of the sport, magic johnson first, what many saw the passing of the torch between two of the best who ever played the game. >> michael jordan and chicago bulls against magic johnson and

nba lakers. >> michael jordan and chicago bulls against magic johnson and nba lakers. >> the last for laker magic johnson and the first of many for michael jordan and the up and coming bulls. >> you know, when you're a competitor, you want to play against the best i played against larry and i always wanted to play against mike. >> up until that point, it was a stigma michael jordan only wins scoring titles, never championships. >> behind the scene of jordan's quest to win that elusive first title. they say to be the best, you have to beat the best. that's what jordan did earning mvp leading bulls over magic's showtime lakers. >> at last i fit somewhere in the category of larry bird and magic johnson. >> at the time magic saying. >> a beautiful feeling if you're going to lose, you're going to lose to them. i'm going to lose to michael

>> years later reflecting on that passing of the torch. >> when they beat us, well, we met in between both lockers rooms. he just put his arms and just started crying he was so happy he won, that he busted through that was a special moment for him and myself. >> welcome in the man himself, magic johnson. good morning, sir. >> good morning, craig how are you doing? >> doing well. doing well by the way, i'd like to point out that only magic johnson would go full suit and tie at 5:30 in the morning in california for us. you look fantastic last night you're watching realtime like the rest of us looking back on that hug in the tunnel between the two locker rooms back in '91 and mike is crying and you're probably crying in that embrace, did you know the torch was being passed >> for sure, craig we knew that was probably going

to be our last run at trying to win a championship, and we knew that the to be our last run at trying to win a championship, and we knew that the bulls, that was the start of their really dynasty, because in '91 when they beat us, they dominated the '90s just like the lakers the '80s i remember on the dream team bus and he said to larry and i, hey, there's a new sheriff in town. that's me and the bulls. so we had to start laughing and say, michael, you're right you are the new king and good luck man, he did not disappoint either. >> you mentioned the dream team, that apparently is going to be part of the focus of the next episode. that '92 team arguably the best

sports team ever assembled regardless of you and larry and michael jordan and these guys. before that you hadn't played with like. when you played with him in '92, how did that change your view of michael jordan >> well, it started really our friendship we really started -- we played jump cards every night together we worked out in terms of when we have practice i shot with him, whether it was jump shots or free throws. it really brought us closer together as friends. then craig, you know, when you can have michael jordan on your fast break, i could throw it anywhere, he was going to go get it and right-hand side, man, on the fast break, i could throw it anywhere, he was going to go get it and dunk it, man. the highlight reel that he provided, all those moves that he did on the dream team was unbelievable he's the first athlete i've ever seen -- the opponent started crying when michael jordan fouled him he started crying.

i can't believe it michael fouled me. oh, my god right in the middle of the game. it was crazy the impact of the dream team was unbelievable. >> magic, one of the things that struck me about last night's episode, and i'm sure it struck you, too, they are showing michael -- they are showing jordan this video of isiah thomas talking about the '90s finals explaining why they team didn't shake michael's hand. thirty years later michael jordan is still visibly angry, visibly angry about this handshake. >> it's always going to happen like that, you know. they hate the pistons. >> still. >> still today that was a bitter rivalry with michael and his bulls and isiah

and his pistons. you know, first of all you've got to give the pistons credit because they learned from the celtics, right you have to learn how to win a championship before you can actually win one so the bulls kept trying to go through and through and they denied them several times. it made the bulls the championship team they were. so because the pistons were so physical, and they took a lot of cheap shots, too i can understand why michael was so upset, because even when we played against them twice, showtime lakers they took a lot of cheap shots that's had you they played play. they were a rough, tough team, one of the best defensive teams ever played. they were a rough, tough team, one of the best defensive teams ever played.

michael, that was a bitter rivalry for both those teams even today they still hate each other. the great thing is, i think the pistons made michael jordan be the g.o.a.t. last night we saw him say, hey, i've got to get stronger, so he started lifting weights. that's the reason why he became the focus because he had to go through the pistons to beat them at the end of the day, we all have bitter rivals we still hate celtics, that's how it goes. you're going to hate your rivals i'm friend with larry, isiah and michael, they aren't friends. >> before i let you go you're part owner of three different sports franchises. a lot of folks in this country realizing how much we ned sports in our lives how do we get back to professional sports in this country? what does that look like >> i think it looks like in the

beginning, no fans you've got to keep the players safe first you've got to test all the players as well as those who work with them, those teams, the staff, the members of the team i think it's going to start without fans in the beginning. i think all of us will take that because we're at home, and we get to see sports, that's all we want in the beginning. we just need something to make us feel good and to give us some hope, and we can laugh or cheer for our team and yell at the tv screen we need that right now i just want to say god bless the whole country and then our first responders and everybody who is risking their lives for all of us all of these people work at these grocery stores, so we can keep eating. man, this is just a hard thing for all of us, but we need sports to come back, and i hope that happens soon. >> magic johnson always good to see you, sir. >> you too, craig. >> give my love to cookie. take care.

>> what a great guy. all this humility talking about michael and passing the torch, yeah, he was the best. >> it was his time for s encourage them you can't give live sports right now, it's the next best thing. just ahead with so many students missing out on treasured milestones at the end of the school year, we decided to help, a virtual prom there's the chaperone. mr. roker, a class of high school seniors complete with a special surprise from demi lovato but first this is "today" on nbc. these are real people, not actors,

who've got their eczema under control. with less eczema, you can show more skin. so roll up those sleeves. and help heal your skin from within with dupixent. dupixent is the first treatment of its kind that continuously treats moderate-to-severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, even between flare ups. dupixent is a biologic, and not a cream or steroid. many people taking dupixent saw clear or almost clear skin, and, had significantly less itch. that's a difference you can feel. don't use if you're allergic to dupixent. serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaphylaxis, which is severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. if you take asthma medicines, don't change or stop them without talking to your doctor. so help heal your skin from within.
