a good morning to you on this friday. thank you for starting your morning with us. i'm marcus washington. >> and i'm laura garcia. let's start out with a look at the forecast. we'll get to you in a little bit. kari, what are we looking like for today? >> it's going to be a hot day but at least it does start out co cool. we're going to see highs in the 90s today. to the tri-valley. on 580 a steady flow of traffic. we are going to have people working under really hot conditions for today with some mid-50s to start. look at the trend going up by 2:00 we're hitting 90 degrees here. we could see some spots reaching up to 95 today, the hottest day once again but it does cool down this weekend. more on that in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. kari, thank you. breaking news this morning, and it's developing fast. the april employment report came

out about 30 minutes ago and it does not look good. it's the worst in history. keep in mind that number does not include workers who are furloughed. the impact is even bigger. new this morning unemployment now stands at 14.7%. this is the worst since the great depression. scott mcgrew is watching this story unfold and watching the futures board ahead of the opening bell coming up at 6:30. a live analysis in about ten minutes. cnbc reports the facility will open with limited operations. it's not clear if alameda county

will try to intervene. the governor's orders should supersede county restrictions. bob redell will join us for a live report. happening today three bay area counties will partially reopen. napa, sonoma and solano counties and the bulk of the bay area is still holding fast to phase one, not moving ahead to phase two. the latest order leaving a lot of business owners wondering if they're good to go. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez is live for us in san jose to break all of this down for us. kris? >> reporter: hi there, marcus. we're here at hill's flowers which has been ramping up for mother's day orders. they knew they were going to have to do delivery but were hoping they might have curbside pickup. now we know that is not going to be the case. businesses were anticipating they would loosen restrictions. not until yesterday did we know how that would be tied to health metrics.

because most bay area counties are still having rising infection rates, health offices are sticking with local restrictions. if you think it's confusing some so do the business owners. >> there's nothing written stating what any parameters are that we need to follow. >> reporter: in order to meet the guidelines counties must meet testing requirements and tracing requirements. they must have two weeks of no covid-19 deaths. there must be a plan to handle a surge in cases if infections spike and counties must provide protection. infection rates are lower and social distancing easier because it is a rural area so they will follow the state's guidelines rather than enacting local ones. we'll talk about which counties

and what they're doing for you if you're thinking a trip to wine country sounds good during our shelter order. the governor also saying the second part of phase two will include reopening offices for people who can't work from home. phase three will include salons, gyms, movie theater and churches. >> some people at nail salons were caught off guard by comments, saying that was where california's first case of covid-19 started to spread. the governor says someone at a nail salon was the first to catch the virus locally. so far are not among those allowed to be open. one says this only adds to all

the industry uncertainty. >> i was surprised about what governor gavin newsom said because we haven't heard anything about that. we don't know what to do when it comes to protecting ourselves, clients, customers. we're going to need ppe, too. happening today oakland schools are celebrating latino students who made the honor roll. more than 3,000 students in grades 6 through 12 maintained a gpa of 3.0 or higher for the school year holding a webinar today to honor those students. 6:05 and there is something good to tell you about, that there is a teacher who received a special surprise for teacher appreciation week. >> yeah, this is really cute. this is miss amy we want to introduce you to and students at

san jose parents participating nursery school came by to show miss amy some love. they held a parade party, cards and signs showing how much they miss her. they surprised her. >> miss amy! miss amy! >> i love to see all the things people are doing to reach out. i saw a banner. it was their 60th anniversary and they hung a banner outside. you see grandparents social distancing from the kids. it's sweet. >> it's hard and i know some are planning social distancing style for mother's day. >> that's right. >> i'm glad you didn't forget. >> i just mailed my cards yesterday so they may not get there in time. sorry, mom, aunts and grandma. 6:06 for you right now. a look at that forecast for today which is going to be a hot one out there, kari, so we need to prepare.

be prepared for quickly rising temperatures as we start with a live look outside in the south bay and looking at where we're headed for this afternoon. are you ready? we'll reach 92 in san jose. the record is 98 degrees. the last time we had weather this hot in may was 2001. we'll be close to setting some of those records standing for about 19 years. i'll be keeping an eye on all of these numbers and we'll talk about it ahead in a few minutes. as we head over to you, mike, what's been going on in the morning commute? >> you asked about the 92, no, i'm not ready. we're looking here to the red on our sensors, not the thermometer, slowing into san leandro. there's a road crew there. that is the slow section south of washington and davis where

there is slowing right now. that should clear the next 20 minutes. that is the hope. things should smooth out. there may be a traffic break we'll follow up back to you. >> thanks, mike. mother's day almost here. it's sunday. if you haven't gotten a gift, don't you worry. we'll break down the things you can get your mother without having to leave your home. mother's day is sunday but today is jobs friday. 14.7% unemployment. i'll walking through the numbers coming up. ♪ we continue to celebrate bay area graduates going without that official ceremony this year because we're all quarantined this is our last week for great

grads segment and a special congratulations to the high school students. you did it. what an accomplishment. and, of course, thank you to everyone sending in some of their photos as well of their graduates, all those candids. we appreciate it. you're watching "today in the bay." it is 6:09 right now.

right now at 6:11 as we check out our at the present time trend in martinez, open up the windows, let in some fresh air now because it's going to heat up quickly today. we're going to see some low 90s by early this afternoon, and it continues to rise from there. we'll get a look at a cooler weekend ahead, that's in the forecast coming up in a few minutes. and good morning, a very happy friday to you. for the last ten years i have really looked forward to this friday because it's jobs friday. and over those ten years or so i've been able to document to you the recovery of the american economy from recovering from the recession all the way to running on full cylinder. and obviously coronavirus has put a stop to that and we got the numbers showing it. 20.5 million job losses last month. now this is an awful number but it's kind of right in with the

predictions. on wednesday we got that hint it would be 20 million from adp. adp handles paycheck processing for american companies. thursday the latest first-time jobless claims showing just last week another 3 million plus of friends and neighbors applied for unemployment for the first time. and again today the confirmation from the labor department. as we look at these numbers on your screen they are, of course, more than numbers. you know that. these are people. going out to wall street investors actually pushing the dow futures up. this is because, as i mentioned, these are the numbers that we expected, and there is a hope that a recovery can be around the corner. after all the job losses are why many but not all of our leaders are eager to get america back to work, some debating the cost and whether opening the doors too soon will actually cost more jobs, more lives, weaken the economy further with a second

wave. bob redell is debating that with tesla because gavin newsom says manufacturing in california can get back under way but the local county says it cannot. kris sanchez once said when it comes to these sort of rules it's like strict parents, having two parents, one of whom is strict, you listen to the stricter parent. we'll see what tesla will do. america and china are back talking again with trade negotiations. this video from a different type where we see our trade representative talking. they did talk by phone. and, marcus and laura, this is what our show press here will look like when it returns, an experimental version and then we'll get back to regular production after that. we're going to talk with hemant

taneja about how silicon valley talks. will we see the same sort of jobs, will people stay here or have we discovered working from home maybe you don't have to be here to succeed here. >> very expensive as people try to make it in the bay. >> thanks, scott. okay, so when you're watching scott's shows this weekend don't forget your mother, mother's day as we've been telling you, maybe a little bit, of course, for a lot of people. a chef-guided meal kit or maybe brunch with a bouquet. we would do that normally, right? in some areas are momosa can be delivered. now is the time to show your mother love no matter how big or small. >> if no other time we as moms need to be encouraged right now.

we need to know that today. >> we need to know thatuality time. that was my own. door dash offering a mother's day special, any gift card of $75 or more includes a free $10 gift card. so there you have it. >> something for mom. this morning we are doing our part to wish all the moms out there an early happy mother's day for you. so -- >> let's look at these pictures. >> you can see these are just the pictures some of our staff at "today in the bay," all of our moms, my mom with me when she visited back in december. that's laura's mom and, of course, the beautiful laura with all of her kids. that's kari's mom. hey, mama hall. mike and his mom there as well. and so many people that we have here that work behind the

scenes. you see kris and her daughter as well as mother and so many people just celebrating their moms. bob redell's parents, scott mcgrew's mom there. it's just beautiful to see all of these moms. like you said, we deserve to show our moms appreciation every day. i try to do it as much as i can even when she calls me and says i haven't talked to you this week. where have you been? >> you'd better call. it's a treasure. treasure that time. >> happy early mother's day to you as well. hard working mothers. >> thanks. >> you deserve all the praise the wonderful mothers you are. >> thank you. >> my kids are sleeping. what about yours, kari? >> well, bela was awake. i was worried my mom was going to have to wake up but she's the one who keeps her quiet while

i'm on the air, so much gratitude to her for doing that and allowing me to work from home this morning. i've been tracking some high heat for the bay area. at least in time for mother's day we get a gift from mother nature, cooler. a live look in san jose. head over to campbell. the temperature trend in the mid-50s and whatever activities you have, make sure you do it early in the day. it's going to heat up fairly quickly at noon. 77 degrees and 87 at 2:00 today and just keeping in mind that normal for early may is about 73 degrees. we also are going to be tracking some high heat for now but it doesn't last long. still, a high of 95 in antioch and at least for the coastal areas, half moon bay reaching 66 degrees.

74 in san francisco. low 90s for santa rosa. more people heading back to work, make sure you are taking care of yourself. drink lots of water, take frequent breaks, keep a cool towel on your neck, and then also remember that inside of a vehicle it can be 30 to 50 degrees hotter than the outdoor temperature. never leave your children or pets inside of a car. bring your pets inside for today. this is the storm system that will be coming in. as it arrived tomorrow it will start to bring in a shift in the winds. we could see some rain moving in. it's been quite a while since we've had some rain. this is not a really strong storm but spotty showers on monday and tuesday and then drying out as we head to the middle of the week. early runs of the computer

models show for most of us we're looking at a tenth to a quarter inch of rain. it could be higher like santa rosa could reach a quarter inch. so we'll be fine-tuning that foreca forecast. look at these temperatures. a little bit of something for everyone. if you like the hot weather, you want to go swimming, 94 is your temperature today. cooling down if you want to get out for a hike, 77 for a picnic with mom. next week we may have to dust off those umbrellas. mike, you've been watching the commute. any new issues coming up? kari, something new which was older before, old hat. we'll take you out to the roadways and look at the speed sensors, mostly green. that's great news. i spotted this at the altamont pass. 580. a little bit of slowing. more than we've seen for a

while. so we'll track that. no scheduled construction there. there is construction here, and that is southbound 880. that cleared 20 minutes ago on the grid but that doesn't mean that all those speeds have recovered. a little slowing looking better now. nothing else going on right now. we'll track it. thanks so much, mike. nordstrom stores including one set to shut down leaving hundreds without jobs. plus, nbc bay area responds. a lot of people have reserve parking spots at train stations. what happens when they're not using them? do they still get billed? i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. we're speaking up for some commuters next.

welcome back, everyone. parking lots across the bay area, they've understandably been empty but some consumers are still getting billed for paying those spots. >> and they can be pricey, you know that. some drivers are asking consumer investigator chris chmura and his team for some help. >> reporter: good morning. connie in san francisco has a reserved parking spot through sfmta, but she isn't using it right now because she's staying at home. still, she got billed for march, $400. connie didn't think that was

fair, though she didn't want to lose her spot. >> i wanted to reach out to the right outlet that i don't lose my parking but suspend it. i do need the parking. it is a life line for me. >> reporter: connie tried to get ahold of someone to pause her account but had no luck. we contacted sfmta. when we got in touch with them they gave her a $400 refund. we got a similar complaint from marianne in richmond about her b.a.r.t. spot. b.a.r.t. tells us they have suspended auto payment. kudos for connie and marianne for keeping an eye on their auto payment. we ream you do that with all your bills. have a great weekend. >> thank you very much, chris, you, too. a popular nordstrom store is set to shut down after all the business concerns due to the pandemic.

according to the pleasanton weekly the stone ridge store is among 16 locations being closed. it will not reopen when the pandemic end. another on the list, at sacramento's arden fair mall is closing after 30 years in business. shoppers there say they're sad to see it go. >> i've watched it grow into a lovely place to come shop and it's sad to see any of the stores close. >> managers say 300 employees there will get a severance package. while many people are still unemployed, others are heting back into the workforce. starting today cosmetology salons, hair salons, nail salons in texas are allowed to reopen. all must ensure at least six feet of social distancing between the operating workstations.

hawaii says tourists are going rogue amid the outbreak and are now tracking down. several arrests were recently made of hotel guests violating the state's mandatory 14-day quarantine policy including a young couple from citrus heights who were arrested on their honeymoon last week. hawaii's are the strictest of any u.s. state. as of wednesday it reported 626 coronavirus cases and 17 deaths. 6:27 for you this morning. next here the top stories today including phase two. a live report on the counties set to allow some businesses to reopen today, and we'll talk about the growing confusion for those in counties holding out. plus, the future of daycare. a look at the steps one is taking to prepare for kids to return. we're all doing our part by staying at home.

that could mean an increase in energy bills. you can save by setting your heat to 68 or lower... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or just letting the sun light your home. stay well and keep it golden.

( ♪ ) we may be stopped, but the people we need, they keep moving.

so we can start again. thank you. - only invisalign treatment uses smarttrack technology. it moves teeth more comfortably and predictably than ordinary aligners. so i can create custom treatment plans for every smile. good morning. it's 6:30. you're watching "today in the bay." i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. breaking news this morning, right to the markets. within the last hour we learned that a record 20.5 million jobs were lost in april. this is the worst in u.s. history. you see the dow is up 333 points. unemployment right now stands at 14.7%. this is the worst since the great depression. scott, this is historic, not in a good way. why are we seeing the markets up

right now? >> because we expected these numbers, marcus. we know everyone is at home. we know businesses are shut down. we got an early look from adp on wednesday, 20 million people losing their jobs last month. that's what the labor department said. that's why this is built in, baked in is what they call it, and the hope there is a recovery and investors want to get ahead of it. out to a live picture of the white house. we have not seen an official response from the white house just yet, but a late poll just a couple days ago show americans continue to support the president and his handling of the economy even as the economy has been devastated by coronavirus. we'll be looking more into that as we talk politics in our checks and balances segment. a look at the forecast today. we know it's going to be a hot one. meteorologist kari hall has been tracking that for us. kari, how hot is it going to get

today? we're talking some of our inland spots reaching into the mid-90s today and at least it will be cool along the coast so a wide range in temperatures. walnut creek will want to be one of those hot spots as we start out with a cool morning with mid-50s, we can see the trend going straight up as we go into late morning as well as the afternoon. a look at all of our micro climates and what we're expecting today. very hot but milder. 95 will be the high in antioch. a cooler weekend ahead. >> certainly some pool weather there. happening today napa, sonoma and solano counties will partially reopen as part of phase two. what's happening where you live? maybe you don't live there. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez to explain why all the

bay area counties won't be falling in line at the same time. kris? >> reporter: not all bay area counties are experiencing covid -- that's why some counties will adhere to stricter local guidelines rather than going with the safe, looser guidelines going forward. public health officers are allowing some nonessential businesses to reopen under state guidelines. nonessential retail like bookstores, clothing stores, sporting goods stores so long as it is curbside pickup, no customers in the store. manufacturing can return if there is enough social distancing and break areas and warehouse areas are open air. other phase two businesses like dine-in restaurants, salons, gyms, movie theaters and churches may be restricted for months to come. >> we need to make sure we're not exposing people who will then get sick and die.

>> reporter: now because the cases of covid-19 are still on the rise in many bay area counties including santa clara county where i am, the local restrictions will remain in place for now but the rule of thumb is whichever order is more strict is the one you do have to follow. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> before you go, i know a lot of people are hearing those counties are open. let's go up there and have some fun. sounds like a good idea in theory, but will it be allowed? that's the question. >> reporter: it sounds like a plan we should plan on far down the road. these are essential businesses opening up for the folks who live in those counties. the wineries are closed, tasting rooms, restaurants are closed. we're talking about making things easier for those who live in wine county.

>> san francisco will be loosens some of their restrictions for retailers allowing storefronts pickups for a limited number of shops starting may 18th. the store just for fun and scribbledoodles has been delivering art supplies, games and gifts in san francisco since the shutdown in march. owners say it's a step forward but won't pay the bills. >> it will serve the community well. it won't do anything for our business because we simply can't do enough volume to even pay the rent. >> the mayor's office says that more information about what's expected from retailers will be released next week. developing overnight tesla says it will resume limited operations at its fremont electric car plant. this after the governor lifted some restrictions. we want to check in with "today in the bay's" bob redell this morning live there outside of

the plant. so will they be violating any of the alameda county restrictions still in place there, bob? >> reporter: possibly so, laura. though the governor set new manufacturing rules for businesses here in california making this announcement yesterday, alameda county still has its shelter in place order in effect. we've reached out to the sheriff's office for comment, still waiting to hear back. the state order announced yesterday does not supersede the county order. in an email obtained limited operations with only 30% of the employees who would be working on a given shift. it's not clear how they can without a reduced head count. the shelter in place faq

section, it is still permitted. another section states businesses may also operate to energy resource components like solar panels. it doesn't mention anything about electric vehicles. back in march tesla stayed open in defiance of the stay-at-home order. last week elon musk called the shelter in place orders in the bay area and throughout the u.s. fascist. he wrote he'll be on the line personally helping wherever he can and said if you feel uncomfortable coming back to work at this time, do not feel obligated to do so. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks for the latest from fremont there, bob. there's been so much uncertainty for families as well as to when students will go back

to school. in southern california we're getting a better glimpse what it may look like because there's an emergency daycare center that is open there for essential workers right now. they have to look at what social distancing might look at. the school district in san diego is providing free child care for persons who are essential workers. all students are six feet apart at all times and no more than ten kids in a classroom. they care for 28 kids. by monday that will be doubled. the superintendent is worried about staffing. >> in order to do this program this way it increases staffing. you need more staff because you have a smaller ratio of class size. districts don't have the funding to do that. with the shortfall for school budgets, how are you going to do more with less resources? >> and just think of the room you would need to keep all these kids apart.

the superintendent hopes they can accommodate more kids as people go back to work. >> for many looking to enjoy the week outdoors, the good news is parks will be open. the bad news for you in some cases you may not be wanted there. san mateo county has a ten mile rule in effect. not so in contra costa county and alameda counties where some people in the east bay parks locations have walk-in access. county restrictions vary, so make sure you check ahead before you check out. we've been talking about the heat coming our way. here it is. take it away, kari. it's going to be a hot day if you are going to be heading out there. if you are going to the park, of course remaining socially distant, a cool morning. the early morning hours will be the best time. we talked about rattlesnakes

being out and more active so that, for me, is another reason to just stay at home. a look at where we are compared to our record and what we're expecting in the north bay like santa rosa reaching up to 91 for the day. the record is 93. we'll be close here and across the bay area. we'll have to see if some of the records fall but it's not supposed to be this hot this early in may. we will talk more about a weekend cooldown in the forecast coming up. you've been tracking the commute. how is it looking now? >> my friend christina thinks she saw a rattlesnake crossing the roadway in front of her yesterday. the roadways themselves green, moving nicely around the bay. let's move on to what is the new normal for a lot of folks if you're like me wondering how hard it is to grow or regrow kitchen staples we get every week. let's check with los gatos and

out of the ground joanne will show us some of the new growth from old kitchen scraps. celery. a beautiful walk through of how she regrows green onions and other simple tasks. you can link through insta grm or youtube. nifty had a rundown of vegetables and fruits you can regrow at your store. some things like kiwis or lemons will take more than a couple weeks. they have to mature, sprout. so it's not just all a few weeks. let's get out and about before the lemon trees sprout. >> that's nice to have fresh produce there in your own yard. >> head out and pick it up. thanks, mike. 6:41 for you this morning. we have new developments in the

deadly shooting of a black man out jogging in georgia. who authorities have taken into custody. a majority of americans still support the way the president is handling the economy even know as we have the latest numbers of 14.7% unemployment.

[music] [music] especially in times like these, strong public schools make a better california for all of us.

right now at 6:44 let's head outside with a live look in

dublin. a lot of people heading back to work today. a steady flow of traffic. at least we do have a cool start to the day. it will heat up today. get ready for temperatures inland reaching into the 90s. i'll have a look at a weekend cooldown in our forecast coming up in a few minutes. looking forward to that. a father and son are now under arrest in connection with the shooting death that's caused national outcry. state agents arrested gregory and travis mcmichael. the men are now facing murder charges in the february shooting death of ahmaud arbery. the arrest happened after cell phone video came to light this week showing the 25-year-old arbery being stopped by the pair as he was out for a run. the video seems to show him wrestling with the younger mcmichael over the rifle before being shot to death. arbery was not armed. his mother is outraged. >> it really breaks my heart. he didn't know he was in the last minutes of his life.

>> prior to the video coming out authorities found in fault in the shooting. that investigation is ongoing. and new this morning, joe biden and the woman accusing him of sexual assault are both speaking out. first a court document showing tara reade did mention harassment while working for biden decades ago. the document was filed in 1996 by reade's ex-husband fighting a restraining order filed. the document mentions allegations of, quote, harassment, but does not include reade's recent claims of sexual assault. it also doesn't say if biden was the harasser. meantime, reade is telling megyn kelly biden should drop out of the presidential race. >> joe biden, please step forward and be held accountable. you should not be running on character as president of the united states. >> the truth is what matters and in this case these claims are flat out false.

nothing ever happened. >> that's biden speaking to a tv station denying those allegations. can the white house leadership lift us out of the worst jobs disaster since the great depression? >> people want to work. scott mcgrew joins us now but most americans understand this is not the president's fault. >> absolutely not. most understand this was created by the coronavirus and, indeed, a poll just this week from "the economist newspaper" shows 53% of americans approve of the way the president is handling the economy right now in the middle of the crisis. when you look at the testing or stimulus we are behind other countries. let me throw some numbers at you. america spent about 15% of gdp on stimulus. germany 50%.

today's job loss the worst since 1982. the highest since the second world war. much worse than the recession of 2009. fortunately the great depression's record remains unbroken. washington and the legal community stunned by the latest developments where the department of justice wants to withdraw the case against general michael flynn. >> if i did a tenth -- a tenth of what she did, i would be in jail today. >> that was flynn before he was national security adviser talking about hill hi. flynn himself would indeed face prison time for, among other things, lying to the fbi about his contacts with russians. fbi agents questioned national security adviser flynn about his conversations with russian ambassador and flynn lied to them. how do we know?

flynn admitted to lying. even president trump said flynn lied when he fired flynn. but in an extraordinary development the justice department says the interview in which flynn lied was not jermaine to the investigation into flynn's phone calls. read along with me. the doj telling a judge yesterday the government has concluded the interview by the fbi of mr. flynn was untethered to and unjustified by the counterintelligence investigation into mr. flynn. president trump seemed to agree flynn had done wrong. he said i had to fire him because he lied to the vice president and the fbi. he's pled guilty to those lies. legal analysts can't think after single time in which somebody pled guilty to federal charges and then after that the department of justice decided it wanted to drop the case.

you heard what president trump said about flynn back then when he lied. here is what president trump has to describe the federal prosecutors and fbi agents originally involved in the case. >> and i hope a lot of people are going to pay a big price because they're dishonest, cooked people. they're scum. and i say it a lot. they're scum. human scum. >> it'll be up to a judge to decide if she'll accept the doj's argument. we'll keep you posted on twitter. the latest job numbers as well. you can follow me at scott mcgrew. doctors all over the world taking action to fight the coronavirus. one epidemiologist from ucla is heading the covid-19 rapid response which focuses on antibody testing. joining us now to talk about the virus and impacts of covid-19 is dr. anne rimoin. thank you so much for joining us this morning? >> good morning.

nice to be here. >> we hear people talking about the test to find out if you have covid-19 but a lot of people were denied because they weren't showing symptoms. some even saying they possibly had covid-19 before the pandemic. talk to us about the antibody testing, how will it help us at this point? >> antibody testing is there to be able to tell you whether or not you've already had the virus. but it doesn't tell you if you have active infection. this is a very important point people are having a hard time understanding the difference between being tested for active transmission, which would be with a pcr test like the nasal swab or saliva swab or throat swab that tells you right now do you have the virus. antibody testing tells you if you have had it in the past. we are still unclear whether or not antibody testing will tell you if you have immunity to the virus and if you do, how long that might last, and if a person can still be reinfected after

the immunity may wane. an antibody test is useful for having an understanding of how the virus is spreading in a population which is great for policy but very difficult based on an antibody test. >> all of this is still so new for all of us. trying to grasp hold what's going on with it. dealing with the state reopening, seeing more counties opening businesses, so what should we do to minimize our risk of getting the virus? >> the message for how to reduce risk of getting the virus remains the same. you need to have excellent hand hygiene, washing your hands, social distancing is critical, at least six feet apart from everyone else. wearing a face covering, a mask, a bandanna. there's a lot of evidence showing even t-shirts will work

to be able to keep your droplets to yourself so you protect me from getting sick and i protected you from getting sick. all of these things together will help us reduce the spread. it's important people realize individual behaviors that in the absence of vaccines will protect everyone. >> and before we go, one more quick question. what are you fearful of, if anything, with states reopening? >> i have the same fears that everybody else on these news channels are talking about. i worry a false sense of security that people will relax these measures that are so critic critical. it's so important for people to be able to get back to work. and the economy to be moving

forward and we do not have adequate testing in place. we do not have a vaccine and therapeutics are in very early stages. these blunt measures of keeping people safe by keeping them apart from each other and making it harder for the virus to spread from person to person is really all we have. >> all right, doctor, i want to thank you for joining us this morning to give us a better insight of what we're dealing with here. >> it's my pleasure. >> laura? the pandemic is increasing the pop culture fame of major figures in the outbreak. on etsy you can buy socks in support of andrew cuomo. in washington, d.c., a speak easy offering cocktails to go named after dr. anthony fauci. it's called the fauci pouchy. it's vodka and features his photo on the front.
