at the polls >> reporter: so he got busy. a recent college grad, he started recruiting on instagram. how many people have you recruited? >> 700 >> reporter: 700 people. most of those on social media. soon local election officials were asking him for help >> we're always told vote, vote, vote yes, we should vote. but young people should work the polls. >> reporter: forcing states to get creative wisconsin using national guard troops to work the state's primary. in battleground ohio, they're recruiting at barbershops. and companies like old navy and target offering employees a paid day off to man the polls but some states like maryland are already feeling the impact >> we're down as i said down about 50%. that's 20,000 people that we're trying to recruit. >> reporter: now the state is forced to change its process opening new supersized voting centers. accommodating more people inside but drastically reducing the number of locations from 3,000 statewide to under 400 do you have any concern that this new system will make it

more difficult for people to cast their vote? >> it's always a risk when you launch a new project if you go down the one path where you try to open all the sites on election day, you will have a problem because you won't have enough election judges to open up all the equipment. >> reporter: that's why for many championing voting rights, the push for poll workers has become a central issue. wnba star renee montgomery chose to sit out this season instead focusing on activism >> so when it comes to voter suppression and poll workers, they're synonymous you need all of it to work right. >> reporter: she's now part of more than a vote, a group of athletes and artists led by lebron james working to recruit workers for november >> i want people to understand you don't need this big grand thing to make a change you can literally be a poll worker and create a lot of change >> reporter: so, guys, we talked about some of those companies

stepping in and offering paid days off there are a number of places doing that it's part of a bigger effort where they're connecting poll workers with the training they need what's interesting about this is they found that companies that did this during the 2018 midterms, a study shows not only did it increase participation in the electoral process, but it was also good for business guys >> yeah. blayne alexander there at the home of the atlanta hawks. thank you. so many nba teams doing the same thing. opening up their arenas for voting many celebrities also encouraging folks who can to volunteer. >> saw mandy moore and others online doing that. mr. roker, what you got? >> yesterday we talked with u.n. secretary general antonio guterres and today the u.n. and the meteorological society put out a report 2016 to 2020, the warmest

five-year period on record polar ice continues to melt at a record level and that sea level rise accelerates because of that. greenhouse gases since 1990, co2 emissions increasing 62% those greenhouse gases trap the excess heat. and that causes the global warming. and extreme weather events are rapidly intensifying hurricanes especially more likely to intensify rapidly during 2020. and most severe impacts we're seeing droughts and floods so we continue to watch 2020 as it's a year for the record books. also record snow today and record cold in the rockies heavy rain down through southern texas. strong morning winds out west. and wet weather making its way from the mid-atlantic all the way down into florida. that's what's going on around the country. and record wildfires, that's what we are seeing with all of this heavy smoke this morning. this is the live vie of san

qualities here but what happened? >> have a little faith many of us are wearing a mask every day. most of us probably aren't washing or replacing our masks as often as we should. but what exactly is living on our masks? and could it make us sick? let's just say i think you're going to want to wash your mask or maybe grab a new one after you see this we wear them almost everywhere we go. from the grocery store to working out, our face masks are on our kids even wearing them in the classroom. while they help prevent the spread of covid-19, just how dirty can they get to find out, we're enlisting the help of our "today" family i brought brown paper bags for y'all. you need to put your mask in the bag with your name on it and we're going to swab them and see what's on the inside and outside. savannah >> i don't even want to do this. >> i know mine is filthy i can tell you right now >> you think yours is clean?

>> no. >> mine is filthy. >> i use disposable so how dirty could they be? >> we've seen your purse don't be too overconfident >> i vote savannah's is the grossest. >> reporter: dylan and sheinelle hand over their face masks too i also add mine into the mix i've been wearing it all week. i get to work with special sterile swabs. they won't detect if coronavirus is on a mask, but they will pick up any bacteria. savannah's mask. i start with savannah's. first i get the inside of each mask the part that touches your nose and mouth. got you, hoda. i change gloves in between each mask and i use a different swab on the outside. outside of dylan's mask here this is sheinelle's. outside of her pretty pristine brand new looking mask remember, the outside of the mask is the part we likely touch the most with our hands. stylish mask, craig. that looks like a coffee stain i labeled each swab and then they're off to the lab >> here you go, dr. whittier >> reporter: we enlist the help of microbiologist dr. susan whittier she transfers whatever is on the

after 72 hours, the results are in all right. drum roll, please. this is the moment we've been waiting for. >> these are the swabs that we cultured >> reporter: whose mask had nothing on them. >> d.d. was negative >> reporter: you found no bacteria on the inside or outside of her mask? >> no. >> reporter: but what about the rest of us savannah, hoda, sheinelle, and i all had skin bacteria growing on the inside of our mask >> that makes sense because the large majority is on your chin or above your nose >> reporter: they can't make you sick >> it's normal skin bacteria we would find on 100% of people >> reporter: and outside the masks? craig had a little skin bacteria, but savannah and hoda? >> there was a lot of growth it was quite surprising. it was like, oh, my gosh >> reporter: and you're a scientist.

>> yes, exactly. >> reporter: take a look the swabs from savannah and hoda's swabs picked up the most bacteria both had pseudomonas, a bacteria found in tap water >> i would see that as an indication of somebody touching the outside of their mask with damp or wet hands. >> reporter: good to know. your dirty mask probably won't get you sick, but it can cause skin irritation and even outbreaks. what is mask-ne? is it real >> yes it is real because i suffer from it myself. >> reporter: dr. gohara is a professor of dermatology >> it comes from friction and rubbing. also the fact there's moistness and humidity under the masks >> reporter: and some mask materials are better for your skin than others >> the masks that are better at preventing acne are cotton masks. that's because they're lighter and more breathable. the mask that can promote mask-ne are those made of polyester and rayon. because the humidity gets trapped under them >> reporter: but you can prevent it by washing your mask often. dermatologists recommend if you have sensitive skin, use the same cleanser to wash your mask

you use on your face tips to use to keep yourselfnt h >> all right so let's remember, while the masks can get dirty if you don't wash them, public health experts agree masks prevent the spread of covid-19. it's important to wear them. replace them or wash them to keep them clean. way to go, dylan go, dylan. super clean. >> i didn't know m super clean. >> i didn't know my face was so clean. >> wait a minute we want to get back to ours for a second >> don't show the picture.no. that's so disgusting. >> enjoy your breakfast. >> you said the thing about tap water. so we could have literally -- >> there it is >> no. that's so disgusting >> enjoy your breakfast. >> you said the thing about tap water. so we could ha nothing harmful on any of the masks. >> were you guys gardening again? >> dry your hands o nothing harmful on any of the masks. >> were you guys gardening again? >> dry your hands off before you

touch the masks. >> your mask is perfectly fine you can wear it again. you can throw it out but for us, just wash our masks. my mom washes hers every day she washes it after she washes her hands. >> what about sheinelle? >> i use the disposal ones. her hands. >> what about sheinelle? >> i use the disposable ones so i was surprised that, you know -- >> what's roker doing? >> here's al >> i use the disposable. >> if you swabbed the inside of our mouths, there'd be bacteria. it's on you. you're not spreading it all over the world. >> totally while you may be grossed out, there's bacteria on your mask, it's super normal. there wasn't dangerous things on it >> does anybody want to borrow my mask? >> remember hoda throwing some shade? like she thought savannah's was

going to be the dirtiest see what happened? >> it's called karma and it never rests >> all right you're going to be back as these guys said in the third hour. you'll do a deeper dive into those masks and also -- >> do we really need to? >> what is it called weather. >> we've hosed down our weather map. it is clean as a whistle. we were >> pseudomonas >> whatever. let's get a check of the weather. >> we've hosed down our weather map. it is clean as a whistle we were mentioning this area invest 94-l. it's got a 34% chance of development in this area over the next couple of days. whether it does or not, we're going to see an onshore flow of tropical moisture through tomorrow heavier showers making their way up into the northeast. and increasing threat of heavy rain and then by friday, another system comes along, brings more wet weather to the northeast that'll clear out. but moisture will linger through the southeast. look at the rainfall amounts we're talking about 1 inch to 3 inches of rain down in the mid-atlantic into the northeast. little wetter into the southeast. that's what's going on around the country. here
