kept are we seeing any action from leaders? >> hoda, we are. in fact, in chicago, mayor lori lightfoot has given the police department a 90-day deadline she says she wants to see a series of changes implemented in the department, some of those include bringing in community members to help teach some of the courses at academy and requiring officers to learn more about the history of the neighborhoods that they are patrolling hoda. >> good to hear concrete steps all right. blayne alexander blayne, thank you. 7:35, savannah. we've got a lot more to get to this morning including one very specific aspect of this protests that are adding to coronavirus concerns this morning. plus the findings from what's being called most comprehensive way to prevent the virus from spreading. that's right after this. sara, your movie plus trial is about to expire. do you want to continue or cancel?

this morning on in-depth, nationwide protest causing a new level of concern when it comes to coronavirus, savannah. >> that's right, hoda. images of people packed so closely together, some wearing masks, others not, have nation's top doctors worried about a potential second wave of covid-19 we're going to talk about those concerns with dr. torres in a moment first, sam brock has the very latest on this particular concern. sam, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, hoda, just a few days ago looters ransacked the stores here. it's much calmer but concern running high about crowds after a new study shows how crucial social distancing is in stopping the spread of the virus. more than a week into the nationwide protest erupting on america's streets, the crowds don't appear to be subsiding if anything, they are getting bigger. >> for me to be at home on my

phone retweeting and posting on instagram, that's not enough. >> throngs of people standing shoulder to shoulder from downtown l.a. to the nation's capital demanding an overhaul in policing and all in the midst of a pandemic. >> i worry terribly about the peaceful protests. i see some wearing masks i see others not wearing masks. >> dr. deborah birx promising to work with mayors to expand covid testing for protesters new york's governor applauding the passion but pleading for common sense. >> express your outrage but be responsible because the last thing we want to do is see a spike in the number of covid cases. >> those fighting racism say the virus of hate may be more dangerous than the actual virus. >> at this point i feel like i'm more concerned with the death and genocide of my black brothers and sisters than i am of getting this virus. >> fighting human rights instead of the virus

i've stayed home for the whole thing but it's time. >> masks and social distancing do keep coronavirus at bay some simple actions show a gaping difference in the risk of infection. 3% if you're wearing a mask, 17% if you're not. 2 1/2% risk keeping 3 feet of distance spiking to almost 13% if you don't. >> there's a chance miami will continue to cover 2 to 300 people out here, many wearing masks, many are not, standing far apart. for the lack of distance, many americans coming together for protest. >> i'm very worried about any resurgence i absolutely am. >> reporter: a troubling irony, it is communities of color that are disproportionately impacted by coronavirus next week testing for law enforcement and demonstrators.

savannah. >> all right, sam, thank you let's bring in nbc's medical correspondent dr. john torres. dr. torres, we talked about thi. if we were to see an outbreak because of the close proximity a couple days ago. if we were to see an outbreak because of the close proximity of the demonstrators, when might that develop >> savannah, you're right. this is a huge concern the closer you are to people, the longer you're around the people, the more likely you are to get coronavirus we do know people who don't have symptoms can spread it to others when they go back to their communities. what we're expecting is seven days to two weeks we'll see a rise in the cases. we've already seen a rise around the country because the concern is it's going to double, we'll see more rises and that's a big issue obviously, savannah. >> you do have young people mostly, many of them are wearing masks. it's warmer, summertime. could that help mitigate it at all? >> to some extent it could help mitigate it.

the masks, social distancing, masks, eye guard, socialotectio. you can still get distancing, none of them give you 100 percent protection you can still get it asymptomatically you don't have to have symptoms to spread it if you go back to your communities, especially if you live with someone vulnerable, you have to be extra careful with them. you might be spreading this could start that chain of transmission across the country and make sure we get it under control. we're going to take a close look and make sure these things don't turn into outbreaks. again, a big issue right now, savannah. >> real quickly, what about that study that looked at the effectiveness of social distancing and of masks. what did it find >> it found that the most important thing was social distancing that 6 feet was the important part, or more, of getting social distancing it found masks and eye goggles helped to a certain extent even all three, by themselves or combination, did not give you

100% protection. the best thing is avoidance if you can and keeping a close eye on yourself and protecting those you know are most vulnerable with this. >> dr. torres, thank you as always it's 7:45, let's get another check of the weather al, good morning again. >> hey, good morning, savannah we are tracking the tropics. we've got our third named storm, cristobal, and it's a fast start to the hurricane season. we just started on monday. third named storm. this the earliest that we've ever seen. cristobal is now 25 miles north northwest of carmen de mexico, 60-mile-per-hour winds, moving south at 3 look at the track. brings it into the gulf. by monday a tropical storm making landfall anywhere between houston and alabama. we're also watching these rapidly intensifying storms that are projected to happen more with warming climates. wind speeds increase of 35 miles per hour in 24 hours look at the last 70 years. you can see they are on the increase because of warmer ocean waters because of climate

como george floyd y estoy harta other black person killed and de esto. en houston se estima, que i'm tired of it. llegaron a unas 55 mil personas, entre ellos parientes de georged floyd que hicieron un llamado al cambio y se arrodillaron en un momento de silencio. en hollywood, los in houston, 55,000 demonstrators, calling for change and taking a manifestantes se unieran a knee in a powerful moment of silence. in hollywood, protesters embracing members of the miembros de la guardia nacional. national guard these south carolina residents en carolina del sur dijeron, forming a prayer circle while a massive crowd gathered from esto tiene que terminar. en charlotte to seattle to orlando all coming together for a common cause. >> we're tired of systematic oppression and it needs to end. >> back in new york city, cleanup efforts cause. >> we're tired of systematic oppression and it needs to end. >> back in new york city, cleanup efforts are pushing forward. crews sweeping up debris and boarding up businesses. >> our voice can grow. >> across the country, some are still picking up the pieces and pleading for level heads to prevail. >> please stop the madness, and

let's just do it the right way. >> cooler heads seemed to prevail by and large last night. another reason they think they saw less violence in new york city, that curfew. it had been 11:00 on monday night. last night it was 8:00 p.m. that curfew remains in place through sunday hoda. >> clearly had an impact all right, craig thank you. new details have been released about a series of public and private events being held to honor george floyd gabe gutierrez joins us from minneapolis where the first memorial service scheduled for tomorrow hey, gabe, good morning. >> good morning. a small peaceful protest happened here overnight. all this as the state of minnesota launching a sweeping civil rights investigation into the minneapolis police department as you mentioned, hoda, people here are preparing for a public memorial service here in minneapolis tomorrow another one in north carolina where floyd was born on saturday a public viewing in houston where he grew up, then his

funeral on tuesday now, protesters are also demanding more charges against the three other officers involved in this case. a floyd family attorney now says he expects those charges to come before the funeral on tuesday. hoda. >> all right, gabe thank you. houston police chief acevedo has been outspoken in his comments about george floyd's death and protests he's also been offering his support to floyd's family in houston. chief acevedo, good morning. thanks for joining us this morning. you offered the floyd family a special police escort for his body when he returns home to houston and said give us this honor. why did you say that >> well, because this is a home grown young man whose life was taken without excuse or justification.

our mayor turner, home grown, born and raised, we want to make sure as his body is brought here, that he's safe, his family is safe. most importantly people know our funeral escorts we do for the rest of the community, we most certainly need to do it for mr. floyd and his family so we look forward to it and we look forward to making sure that nothing goes wrong and that they can put their loved one to rest in a dignified manner and that's what we're going to do. >> another tricky logistics there but i'm sure you have that under control. by the way, your department, and we should point out, had its own set of problems. your police department has seen six fatal officer shootings since mid april. yesterday you were out with the protesters and they were confronting you, and they were upset about it it sounded like what they were asking for was for you guys to release the body cam video is that something you can commit to

>> absolutely but i think we have to have a national standard and we have to have a conversation because as we explained to folks why we don't want to in certain circumstances start understanding it what we need moving forward is a national approach to critical policies in law enforcement. you cannot have 18,000 sets of policies, or as with police departments or you cannot have 50 for every state we need some national standards. and laying out the circumstances and processes for the release of videos so people understand, and it's always the same so we will be releasing a tape of one of our shootings. another one that we don't want

to take any chances on a change of venue this is a very diverse county and city we don't want too much publicity if charges are filed on a couple of our cases the bottom line is, if charges are filed, we want a jury pool from this diverse melting pot of a citytes that isn't reflectivef our community. >> it instruction me you didn't walk away from those crowds. you stayed, you stayed, you listened they were yelling. you stayed and listened. i thought that was important the other thing that struck me as really important from your town, there was a piece of video that moved me and so many people there were a group of white people and black people coming together and there was a prayer going on everyone was kneeling down at one point the black group stood up and the white people stayed on their knees and let's just listen to a little portion of that.olding unfo >> father, we ask forgiveness from our black brothers and sisters for years and years of racism, systematic racism. not only do you receive their

redemption but god, we repent as the black community for holding unforgiveness, for acting out of anger, for failing our own community at times. >> it's such a moving piece of video. this is not just in a flh this is the spirit and we got t is that the answer are we looking at the answer right there, chief >> this is not just of the flesh, this is of the spirit we've got to turn our attention to god that right there is why i love houston, texas north, south, east, west, black, white, we are a melting pot. we're the city of tomorrow and this is what makes this city so special. above all else, houstonians, we may fight, disagree but we love our city like we showed in hurricane harvey, we love our neighbor so we're not just talking about scripture, we're following

scripture. i think together through love we're going to overcome the hate. >> all right houston police chief art acevedo. chief, thank you so much we appreciate your time. savannah, 8:10, over to you. >> yeah, good conversation los angeles is one city that did accept help from the national guard after local police faced overwhelming amounts of violence and vandalism there. last night nbc's national correspondent miguel almaguer got to ride along as they patrolled the city what did you find? >> it was another long night for national guard here in california fortunately there was no serious incidence of looting or violence in this area but their mission is far from over overnight nbc news given exclusive access to the national guard in los angeles where looting, vandalism, and fires have left this city shrouded in fear for days. at city hall last night, the guard, the last line of defense behind a weary police department this the first time they have been deployed to protect city hall in nearly 30 years when riots followed the acquittal of police officers involved in the brutal beating of rodney king.

the guard is here to protect cities from violence but they are also ensuring americans' right to protest. >> i absolutely support your right to protest i absolutely support that. >> reporter: today the guard is serving across nearly half the country. in many regions it's peaceful during the day but at nightfall, several cities have been engulfed in violence ryan whose day job is loss prevention at home depot called the situation on the streets here in los angeles surreal. >> we're living through history but we also have a job here and that's to support the local law enforcement and also protect the people and the property of all californians here practicing their first amendment rights. >> we were with the national guard's 18th cavalry as they patrolled hollywood. in cities like los angeles they are dispatched to hot neighborhoods and city streets 24 hours a day this is what the iconic sunset boulevard looks like right now the call for help could come

instantly. >> across the country, the guard has also been a target they are not just soldiers, they are citizens. >> this is a great place to take a family or if you're young to come out and enjoy a night out. now you can't do that. but it will come back. we'll secure it and this place will be back to normal. >> it was another busy night for the guards, the 18th cavalry making it home safe. it's unclear what challenges this new day will bring. so many members of the national guard here in california don't live far from where the rioting and looting has been taking place. their mission does continue. it remains open ended.

marching side by side with his anguished community, days after the killing of george floyd. >> it was horrific i couldn't believe it was occur. >> turning his duty into action seen around the world. >> all the people there and we were one some called it a symbol of peace. >> camden is an unlikely symbol of peace once named the poorest and most dangerous community in the city now a model for community policing, a way for police to partner with the community and build trust and find issues to public safety issues since camden reformed its police department back in 2013, crime has dropped significantly. >> camden has been called one of the most dangerous cities in america. is that still the case

>> we're at over 50-year crime low here in camden since 1991, yes, the most violent in the country per capita. >> so is community policing working. >> 1,000%. >> a tactic so successful it caught president obama's attention five years ago. >> i've come here to camden to do something that might have been unthinkable just a few years ago. that's to hold you up as a symbol of promise for the nation >> a much needed beacon of hope as police tensions reach a fevered pitch across the country. in the past week alone protesters caught officers on camera throwing a woman to the ground, driving into groups of protesters and using tasers to force college students out of their car. but as other cities boil over in anger, camden staying cool under immense pressure. >> you can have a safe community and march together under the same humane goals. >> reporter: and together they marched for change.

>> come on, chief, let's go. let's do it. i asked him, did he want to hold the banner with me, and he said yes. >> i knew when she smiled the way she did, we were in for a good day. >> you know, guys, what's so fascinating about this story is the way that they were together able to change the conversation. they were actually able to show us what communities can do when they focus on what brings them together instead of what rips them apart at the end of the day both the organizers and police chief said we're all human. hoda, savannah. >> lots to learn there we need to look hard at them and they have worked hard for it thank you for bringing us the story. we appreciate it. >> still ahead, guys, we have another story of hope. the families of the school impacted by the protest in minneapolis overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers. we are going to talk about that

>> yeah, let me start with you probably saw it saw on your feed and participated in. it was called blackout tuesday carson, what can you tell us >> yeah, let me start with you probably saw it yesterday, 28 million people posted the blackout tuesday square or #on instagram alone. it was a massive wave of online support there amplified by some of the music world's biggest stars responding to the death of george floyd himself a former rapper and member of influential houston-based music circle here is more the idea of blackout tuesday started with two music industry professionals along with the slogan the show must be paused the campaign struck a chord followed by millions of black squares on instagram as music's biggest stars called on the entertainment business to acknowledge its debt to the black community, quincy jones writing as gatekeepers of the culture, it's our responsibility to not only come together to celebrate the win but also hold each other during the loss

paul mccartney, we're doing blackout tuesday in solidarity with the music business and many people all around the world. rihanna vowing to shut down her businesses for the day, we ain't buying blank and ain't selling blank either madonna with a loop under her black square warner, sony and universal support for the initiative along with streaming services from amazon and apple music cable network's bet and mtv went dark 8:46 while spotify replaced artwork on some playlists with a black tile confusion over hash tags created controversy. when posts for tuesday combined with black lives matter tag which many rely on for news and information. >> when you post your black square, please don't use black b flooding hashtag search which is pictures instead of information. >> reporter: still others

question the idea of taking a pause during protest movement. >> it's weird blackout tuesday comes on a day when we need social media to inform those in primary areas. >> instead of black squares some posted links for worthy causes and encouraged others to vote. the original organizer responded, the purpose was not to mute ourselves. the purpose was a pause from business as usual. guys, we reached out to the two women organizers and didn't hear from them. interesting enough, though, in their initial statement they hadn't mentioned anything about a black square, per se that took on a life of its own yesterday. a lot of people who were posting it just being a part of blackout tuesday stood for a few important things really most importantly, the need to pause, reflect, and most important of them all is so simply listen, guys. >> listening is the key in this one. carson, thank you for that coming up, a remarkable story to

warm your heart. when protests forced stores in minneapolis to close, a school asked for just 85 food kits for families in need well, look what they got 30,000 arrived we're going to talk to the school's principal about the response that exceeded all expectations but first this is "today" on nbc well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours. we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property. for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. these are just a few uses of reverse mortgages.

or go online to request your free information kit. without a doubt, one of the best financial tools i've learned about. everybody should be taking a look at it. if they're over 62, they should at least investigate it. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. we've got great peace of mind. whatever comes up. we're ready. i advise you to call them. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. reverse mortgage funding. access your equity. stay in your home.

have peace of mind. we are back with an example of humanity at its best and we saw it in minneapolis. >> we did. that community feeling so many challenges right now but remarkable stories of uplift have emerged, including one that started with a simple request to help families in need at a middle school. we're going to talk to its principal in a moment but first the heartwarming story a food drive at a middle school
