should follow. with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis most of the president's events have been outdoors when methotrexate has not helped enough. we wanted one of the events in nevada to be indoors xeljanz can help relieve joint pain but the governor everywhere we and swelling, stiffness, went threatened to pull liquor license frgs people who would and helps stop further joint damage, give us the venue. even without methotrexate. we were forced to go indoors with that event. xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. but the reality is we have seen cases come down tremendously before and during treatment, over the last month. your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. we're seeing deaths starting to really come down test positivity rate tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b or c, i just looked at the numbers this morning for the past week have flu-like symptoms, or are prone to infections. serious, sometimes fatal infections, is at 4.5 brs and we're making tremendous progress on the cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. vaccine. >> yeah. fair enough. and the vaccine is super important. taking a higher than recommended dose but until we have a vaccine, the of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. public health message has been super clear -- wear a mask tears in the stomach or intestines stay socially distanced and and serious allergic reactions have happened. don't crowd in indoor events all three of which didn't seem to come into play. don't let another morning go by personal responsibility is one thing. but the president is the without asking your doctor president. about the pill first prescribed doesn't he have to send a for ra more than seven years ago. message? >> look, again, you know, we xeljanz. have to figure out how to live our lives to some degree as well ♪ all in this together president trump is not part of ♪ family this let's lock down for ♪ we're taking a chance perpetuity ♪ family people want to live their lives. ♪ like birds of a feather they want to do what they want to do. ♪ family again, we're giving guidelines ♪ take off your shoes and dance ♪

people about the danger of this and you, more confident and carefree. coronavirus the minute he knew >> yeah, the president was very forthcoming with the american people about what he knew and when he knew it. president trump obviously he banned travel from china and he banned travel from europe. this was an unprecedented pandemic as different facts evolved, the president involved the public. i'm a verizon engineer and i'm part of the team building dr. fauci who was on the record the other day saying the 5g ultra wideband. president was very transparent and he agreed with the way the president characterized things it's already available in parts of select cities at the time. and it's rolling out in cities around the country. this was an iterative thing. 25x faster than today's 4g networks. but again what's been very remarkable has been america's it's the fastest 5g in the world. response to the virus where we launched project air bridge. this is 5g built right. we brought all the ppe we needed we figured out how to ramp up testing. with moderate to severe treplaque psoriasists everyone who needed a ventilator uncover clearer skin that can last. got a ventilator so all the different challenges in fact, tremfya® was proven superior to humira® that people were hysterical about whether it was governors in providing significantly clearer skin. or the media we worked with them very closely tremfya® may increase your risk again, it was very good to have a entrepreneurial president who of infections and lower your ability to fight them. doesn't do things in a bureaucratic way he ran to all the different tell your doctor if you have an infection problems he ran into them or symptoms or if you had a vaccine or plan to. he confronted them seriously serious allergic reactions may occur. and we created good solutions for a lot of them. tremfya®. uncover clearer skin that can last. >> i think this goes to the larger issue and it matters when

but then... oh. ah. okay. plan, pivot. how do you bounce back? you don't, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. powered by the largest gig speed network in america. but is it secure? sure it's secure. and even if the power goes down, your connection doesn't. so how do i do this? you don't do this. we do this, together. bounce forward, with comcast business. we're back with something new. it's a special series we're calling "love in the time of coronavirus". >> there's just something in the air. just love in the air because our

resident cupid jenna bush hager joins us to prove it's never too late when it comes to love good morning >> good morning. there's a love potion. you may remember back in jul i interviewed dr. helen fisher she's a biological anthropologist and chief science adviser to match.com at 75 years old, helen had her own love story to tell >> i finally understand what teenage girls know intuitively >> reporter: dr. helen fisher has studied love for 40 years. yet this love expert never truly understood the idea of marriage. >> i thought, what's a piece of paper? >> reporter: that is until she fell for john tierney. you were probably the biggest expert on love in our country. yet you didn't think marriage was necessarily for you. >> intellectually i did get it but emotionally i'm not sure i ever did now i finally do >> reporter: the two met in 1994 when he a former "new york times" staff writer was

interviewing her for a story they remained cordial over 20 years. but everything changed in 2015 now both single john following a divorce and helen out of a long-term relationship, they decided to test the waters during a game of pool. when each wrote down what they wanted if they were to win he won >> i opened the sheet of paper it said sex and clarity. i said to him, you're going to have to realize that we could trigger the brain circuitry for romantic love or attachment. are you willing to take that chance and he said yes. >> reporter: i love that the love doctor had to explain it in science terms. the two got engaged in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic on one condition. >> i basically said i'll marry you, but i'm not moving in and that was fine for him. i've got a lovely little apartment in new york city we joke about our country home in the bronx and our city home >> reporter: and you say as an anthropologist that we're not

supposed to be with somebody 24/7 i say this as i've been quarantining with my husband for a long time. is that right? >> coming, going, regenerating the partnership is very important. it keeps everything very exciting >> reporter: just ten days later, they said i do. >> it is my honor to announce the happy newlyweds. >> reporter: what does it look like when we fall for somebody do you think our brains know this is it >> the first thing when you fall in love, somebody takes on what i call special meaning everything about them becoming special. high emotions. thrilling when you're with them. despair when they don't call real butterflies in the stomach. >> reporter: who do you think based on your research is the first to fall in love usually in a heterosexual relationship? >> men fall in love faster than women do they fall in love more often than women do. when a man meets a woman and falls in love with her, he wants

to introduce her to friends and family sooner. they want to move in sooner. when it comes to love, men are the more fragile sex >> reporter: now that we learned the truth, i had to meet the groom. congratulations. >> thank you i'm a lucky guy. >> reporter: i assume marrying a love doctor would be slightly intimidating. >> i quickly noticed she knows what she's doing it's great to be in the hand of a pro, basically so much fun. >> reporter: i mean, i'm having fun just being a third wheel in your relationship. helen, with him sitting next to you for any of those people that feel like oh, my gosh, how is it possible to fall in love and get married at any stage in life, what do you say to them? >> he's out there. you just got to get yourself out there. we're built to love. we'll always love.

we've loved millions of years ago. all you've got to do is get out there and be found you got to keep at it. it can be work but once you find him -- actually, i don't think it is work if you found the right person >> reporter: it doesn't seem like it's work in your relationship >> no, it's not. >> reporter: it seems like a lot of fun >> wow >> oh, my gosh how awesome are they >> that was a great story. >> so helen told me she's more in love with john now actually having that certificate, that marriage really affirms their love and of course i was wondering if anything changed in her research she told me no her studies remain solid but overall she's loved on a new level and she's so grateful to truly experience it for the first time >> you know, there's falling in love which is the cool thing everybody loves. then there's the staying in love so, like, did you learn anything in that department >> i did she says there's three keys. the first one is really obvious. she said you have to pick the right person and then she and her team have

studied couples married on average of 21 years. those who have empathy, control over their stress, and the people who overlook the negative are more likely to build a longer term happy in love partnership. you know what else she said? she said create a story like say in your mind dang, he's hot create illusions >> what? hank watches, you know >> but she said she even used the word illusion. create this happy narrative in your mind and that can also help i've been working on it. >> power of positive thinking. but also separate residences a lot of us perked up. just going to say. >> absence makes the heart grow fonder so he wrote down on the card, just to be clear, i want to understand, he wrote down sex and clarity. >> correct i found that to be very manly. >> that's craig's takeaway >> well, i just -- >> he stopped hearing words after sex. >> you know, they had this flirtation and he was like, okay are we going to do this or not >> yeah. that was a great love story.

>> can you continue this conversation in the fourth hour? >> of course we're both wearing pink. >> yes, we are >> smell good too. coming up next, with everybody wearing masks, now is the perfect time to actually brush up on your eye makeup skills you don't need lipstick, but how abt a dramatic eye ouwe
