- No, no.
It makes no sense
for you to run the meeting
when the former manager
is here.
I can do this
from muscle memory.
- What are you talking about?
Your body has
literally no muscle.
Now give me the clipboard.
- No.
- Give it to me!
- No.
- Glenn, come on.
- I will not.
- I order you to give to me.
- You order me?
- Yes, I do--
- Sorry.
Sorry I'm late.
- I don't take orders from you!
Um, no problem.
Just was running the meeting
for you--
- [sighs]
- We covered a lot of ground.
- Parker's day care closed
at the last minute.
Some kid had lice.
- Logan. Surprise, surprise.
- So now Parker is here.
With his wet face, great.
- Well, I mean, I didn't know
what else to do.
My parents are out of town,
and Eric's working,
and Adam's at a convention
learning how to do beekeeping.
- Oh, if he wants bees,
I still got a ton in my car.
- Okay, so, uh,
St. Patrick's Day. Right.
Today we have a new "Follow the
Rainbow to Savings" initiative.
Customers will follow
the clouds with rainbows
to find coupons.
- Oh, my God, he's so cute.
My ovaries are exploding.
It's like,
scrambled eggs, anyone?
- Oh, gross.
- Disgusting.
- So Sarah, can you stock the--
- Is it okay
to hold him like that?
He seems uncomfortable.
- No, he's totally fine.
And this is a very standard way
to hold a child.
- Maybe he's afraid of heights.
Put him on the floor.
- You guys, he's good.
I promise.
Okay, Cheyenne, Sandra,
you're serving
our St. Patrick's Day
specialty snacks--
- Amy, sorry to interrupt,
but I think some pooping
is happening your way.
- Yeah, I know.
I'll change him soon.
- Oh, okay.
We're just supposed to ignore
the human feces in the room.
- She wants him to sit in it.
Teach him a lesson.
- No, I'm just trying
to get through this.
- All right, all right.
Come here, little buddy.
I got you.
- Oh, my God.
Jonah's holding Amy's baby
like it's his baby.
- I live with him, Sandra.
I hold him every day.
- I'm literally
screaming right now.

- Like, I get
the concept of babies.
I'm not even saying
don't have babies.
Like, have babies.
But do I have
to see the babies?
- Mateo, could you
give me a hand?
It's a dating thing,
and you're the only person here
in a functional relationship.

stop you right there.

"it's complicated."

Anything to keep looking busy.
Otherwise Amy's gonna ask me
to walk her baby or whatever.
- So you're dating someone?
- Yup.
Dr. Brian Patterson.
It's been a couple weeks.
I just--I really think
this could be something.
Not the normal cold,
anonymous sex I'm used to.
No offense, Garrett.
- Ah, well, we were
literally wearing name tags,
but generally speaking, yes.
- So it's his birthday,
and I wanna give him a picture
of the two of us together,
but we haven't really
had any taken yet,
so I thought maybe
you could Photoshop something.
I have his picture.
- Did you steal his license?
- Uh, yeah, you can't ask
to borrow someone's license.
They'll think you're a freak.
- I can whip something up.
He's cute.
Ooh, 6'1".
- Mm-hmm, and his proportions
are a dream.
Nipples exactly
where you want 'em.
Mm.
- Can you turn that for Mama?
- Just in case this isn't
what you wanted to do
for the next 10 minutes,
you want me to take him?
- Yes, that would be great.
Thank you--just be careful.
All he wants to do is
open your eyelid
and scream into it right now.
[cereal box rustling]
Uh, never mind.
Go--go deal with that.
- Oh, sir.
Sir, it's just the coupons.
We didn't hide anything
in the products.
- Oh, yeah?
Then what's this?
The prizes are in the cereal!
- No, it's...
No, that's just--have you
not had cereal before?
- The glitter was my idea.
Makes it look
more magical, right?
- Is that edible glitter?
- I mean, technically
all glitter is edible.
It's really small.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, wasn't Jonah cute
holding Parker?
- I guess.
- I just meant he looked
like a really good dad.
- Oh.
- Oh, my God.
Wouldn't it be crazy if Jonah
actually was Parker's dad?
- Yeah, that'd be wild.
But Amy was already pregnant
when she and Jonah had sex.
- Unless she just thought
she was pregnant.
It could've been
a false positive.
- Oh, yeah.
There was this girl in my class
who thought she was pregnant,
and then she went away
for a few months.
And when she came back,
it turned out that her mom
had a miracle baby,
like, way late in life.
- Uh-huh.

shoppers.

Whoa, whoa, whoa--hold on.
What is this?
- It's for Brian.
Mateo nailed it.
- Don't you think that
this is a little...big
for a first birthday together?
- Well, it needs to be big in
order to secure the balloons.
16, one for every day
we've known each other.
- Or maybe since you
just started dating,
you could go with something
like, and I'm being crazy here,
but something like a card?
- A card?
[laughs]
He's not
in the hospital, Garrett.
- Yeah, thanks a lot.
I...
[gasps]
I know what's happening.
He's trying
to give me bad advice
because he wants to sabotage
my relationship with Brian.
You still want me.
You poor bastard.
- No, I just think
that this is a lot
for any human man to take.
- Oh, Garrett, let it go.
It's over, okay?
There are women
on the internet.
Dozens of them.
- Hey, Amy.
I saw you were having
a little bit of trouble,
so I thought it might help
if Jerusha came in
to watch Parker.
- Oh, my God.
That would be amazing.
Thank you so much.
- It's really no problem.
We were just picking up some
T-shirts at Cracker Barrel.
But we're happy to have a
little playdate with this guy.
- Yes, that's so fun.
- Yeah.
You go back to being

Full-time mom is on the case.
- Well, yeah, I mean,
I am also a full-time mom.
- Yeah, but Jerusha's
a super mom.

HE DOES NOT PLAN TO ISSUE A 
STATEWIDE QUARANTINE BUT HE IS 
CONTINUING TO LISTEN TO THE 
ADVICE OF FEDERAL HEALTH 
OFFICIALS. 
HE ALSO PREDICTS THERE WILL BE 
MORE CASES WITHIN THE STATE. 
>> THE MORE WE TEST, THE MORE 
WE WILL FIND.

THINK THAT WILL CONTINUE.

DATA NOT ONLY IN OUR STATE BY 
COMPARING THAT TO OTHER STATES 
AND CITIES AROUND THE COUNTRY.

SITUATION CONTINUES TO MOVE, 
AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. 
>> CAN YOU CATCH THE COVID-19 
TWICE? 
THE QUESTION THAT MANY PEOPLE 
HAVE BEEN ASKING AFTER SOME 
CONFLICTING REPORTS. 
WE HAD OUR VERIFIED TEAM TAKE 
TO THE BOTTOM OF WHAT WAS 
REALLY GOING ON HERE.>> WE TALK 
A LOT ABOUT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF 
CORONAVIRUS CASES, SOME 
HOSPITALS SHOW MORE THAN 
200,000 CASES WORLDWIDE READ 
THE SAME DATABASE SHOWS ABOUT 
82,000 PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN OVER 
THE CORONAVIRUS, THAT IS GOOD 
NEWS, BUT SOME HEADLINES HAVE 
MADE ANY SECOND-GUESS THOSE 
NUMBERS. 
HEADLINES LIKE THESE, NEWS 
REPORTS ABOUT PATIENTS 
RECOVERING FROM THE VIRUS AND 
THEN TESTING POSITIVE AGAIN. 
SO WE WANT TO VERIFY, CAN 
SOMEONE WHO HAS RECOVERED TEST 
POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS AGAIN? 
TO ANSWER THAT WE WENT STRAIGHT 
TO THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION, THE AGENCY SAID 
THEY HAS SEEN THESE REPORTS AND 
THEY CONFIRMED THAT SOME 
PATIENTS ARE TESTING POSITIVE 
AFTER THEY CLINICALLY RECOVER 
BUT THE AGENCY SAYS THEY NEED 
MORE SAMPLES FROM RECOVERED 
PATIENTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW LONG 
THEY CAN ACTUALLY SHED THE 
VIRUS. 
THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE SHOULD 
PANIC AND ASSUME PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING THE VIRUS TWICE. 
IF WE STOP HERE WE MISS A LOT 
OF KEY CONTEXT. 
FIRST THE NUMBERS, THE REPORT 
FROM CHINA ONLY ACCOUNTS FOR 
ABOUT .2% OF CASES, 2/10 OF A 
PERCENT. 
SECOND, THESE REPORTS ARE 
MOSTLY COMING FROM NEWS 
ARTICLES, NOT SCIENTIFIC 
REPORTS, SO THEY DON'T GIVE 
REAL RAW DATA. THAT MEANS 
RESEARCHERS HAVE TOGETHER THAT. 
AND THESE PATIENTS ARE NOT ALL 
GETTING SICK AGAIN, MOST ARE 
TESTING POSITIVE AFTER GETTING 
OVER THE SYMPTOMS. 
TO RECAP, WE CAN VERIFY 
ACCORDING TO THE WHO, YES, 
THERE ARE PATIENTS WHO TEST 
NEGATIVE, CLINICALLY RECOVER 
AND THEN TEST POSITIVE AGAIN, 
BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLID 
ANSWER WHY JUST YET. 
IT COULD BE THAT PEOPLE HAVE 
NOT ACTUALLY FULLY RECOVERED OR 
COULD BE A RESULT OF BAD 
TESTING. 
THAT'S WHY THEY ARE 
INVESTIGATING. 
THE KEY, THIS IS A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE, LESS THAN 1% OF 
TOTAL RECOVERED CASES IN 
CHINA.>> FOR THE SYMPTOMS OF 
THE FLU AND COVID-19, THEY CAN 
BE VERY SIMILAR, AND IT'S 
ALLERGY SEASON SO A LOT OF 
PEOPLE ARE SNEEZING AND 
HACKING. 
HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF SYMPTOMS 
THAT YOU NEED TO BE ON GUARD 
FOUR. 
THE SYMPTOMS OF THE CORONAVIRUS 
ARE FEVER, COUGH AND SHORTNESS 
OF BREATH OR DIFFICULTY 
BREATHING. 
THEY WILL APPEAR TO TO 14 DAYS 
AFTER SOMEONE IS EXPOSED. 
WITH THE FLU YOU MIGHT ALSO 
EXPERIENCE FEVER AND COUGH. 
WITH ALLERGIES YOU MIGHT BE 
SNEEZING, HAVE AN ITCHY NOSE OR 
THROAT, OR RUNNY NOSE OR RED 
AND WATERY EYES. 
THE SYMPTOMS ARE IMPORTANT TO 
LOOK FOR IF YOU ARE TRYING TO 
FIGURE OUT IF YOU HAVE COVID-19 
OR SOMETHING ELSE. 
THE CORONAVIRUS IS FORCING THE 
CENSUS BUREAU TO SUSPEND FIELD 
OPERATIONS FOR TWO WEEKS.

THEY ARE, AND MIGHT START BY 
ASKING WHAT YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT 
THIS. 
IT GIVES YOU A CHANCE TO 
ADDRESS ANY MISINFORMATION AND 
CALM ANY FEARS THEY MAY HAVE 
HEARD YOU ALSO DON'T WANT TO 
SHARE TOO MUCH. 
AS PARENTS AND OTHER TRUSTED 
ADULTS IT IS YOUR JOB TO 
UNDERSTAND AND PROCESS 
EVERYTHING BEFORE TALKING TO 
YOUR KIDS. 
IT'S ALSO ENCOURAGED TO ASK 
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT 
THE CONVERSATION TO SEE HOW 
YOUR CHILD IS PROCESSING WHAT 
YOU ARE SAYING, AND MAKE SURE 
YOU TALK TO THEM IN THEIR OWN 
LANGUAGE, ON THEIR OWN LEVEL, 
NOT USING ANY BIG WORDS OR 
ANYTHING THEY DON'T CONNECT 
WITH. 
>>> STILL TO COME, DESPITE 
WARNINGS FROM HEALTH OFFICIALS 
HUNDREDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE 
SKIPPING ISOLATION AND HEADING 
TO THE BEACH FOR SPRING RAKE. 
WHY DOCTORS SAY THIS CAN MAKE 
>>> WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO 
SIT HERE AND PREACH EVERY 
NIGHT, IF YOU ARE WATCHING 
RIGHT NOW YOU ARE WELL VERSED 
ON WHAT'S GOING ON. 
BUT IT'S WORTH REPEATING, WE 
ALL NEED TO TAKE STEPS TO 
PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST THE 
VIRUS THAT WE HAVE TO 
ESPECIALLY REMEMBER TO HELP 
THOSE AT RISK. 
THAT INCLUDES OLDER AMERICANS 
AND THOSE WITH EXISTING MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS. 
MAJOR RETAILERS ARE NOW 
STEPPING UP TO HELP PROTECT 
SOME OF THESE MOST VULNERABLE 
SHOPPERS FROM EXPOSURE TO THE 
CORONAVIRUS, AND IT'S GONE VERY 
AGGRESSIVE. 
SOME OF THESE GROCERY STORES, 
TARGET, WALMART AND COSTCO, 
VERY AGGRESSIVE. 
THEY ARE DESIGNATING WARNINGS 
FOR SENIOR SHOPPERS, AND 
WALMART WILL ALSO HOST A WEEKLY 
HOUR-LONG SHOPPING EVENT FOR 
SENIORS EVERY TUESDAY FOR 
PEOPLE 60 AND OLDER, THAT IS 
SUCH A GREAT IDEA. 
IT WILL START AN HOUR BEFORE 
THE DOORS OPEN, WALMART ALSO 
ANNOUNCED THEY ARE TRIMMING 
IT'S OUR SO STORES WILL BE OPEN 
FROM 7 AM TO 8:30 PM LOCAL 
TIME. 
DESPITE THE WARNINGS THOUSANDS 
OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE CROWDING 
FLORIDA BEACHES. 
IT IS PART OF BEING YOUNG AND 
IT'S A DECISION THAT COULD PUT 
MORE OF US IN DANGER.>> 
Reporter: THIS MORNINGS SPRING 
BREAK GONE WILD. 
IN MIAMI BEACH, CROWDS OF YOUNG 
PEOPLE OUT IN FORCE DESPITE THE 
CORONAVIRUS THREAT.
>> IF I GET CORONA, I GET 
CORONA. 
I'M NOT GOING TO LET IT STOP ME 
FROM PARTYING.>> ENDING 
CLEARWATER FLORIDA, IT'S GOOD 
TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS BUT IT'S 
SPRING BREAK. 
>> ON VACATION FROM MINNESOTA. 
>> IS VERY CONFUSING TO ME AND 
VERY CONCERNING. 
OUR TOWN IS ALMOST LIKE A GHOST 
TOWN, EVERYTHING IS SHUT DOWN. 
BUT HERE, IT'S LIKE HONESTLY 
NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 
>> THE GOVERNOR REFUSING TO 
CLOSE BEACHES INSTEAD REPEATING 
CDC GUIDELINES, AVOID GROUPS 
LARGER THAN 10. 
BEACHFRONT ESTABLISHMENTS ARE 
ALSO OPEN. 
>> IT'S AN EPIDEMIC, BUT LIVING 
IN FEAR IS NO WAY TO LIVE. 
>> SOME BEACHES IN FLORIDA ARE 
SHUT DOWN BY ORDER OF LOCAL 
GOVERNMENT. 
AND ON WEDNESDAY CLEARWATER 
VOTED TO CLOSE ITS BEACHES, 
TOO. 
BUT THE CLOSURE, NOT IN EFFECT 
UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.>> IF WE 
DELAY THIS, HOW MANY OF US WILL 
GET SICK, HOW MANY MAY DIE? 
>> IT'S NOT JUST FLORIDA 
BEACHES PACKED WITH SPRING 
BREAKERS, PLACES IN TEXAS AND 
ALABAMA ARE ALSO BUSY. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ISSUING THIS 
WARNING. 
>> IF THEY DO GATHER ON BEACHES 
AND RESTAURANTS, YOUNG PEOPLE 
DON'T REALIZE IT. 
>> THE CORONAVIRUS IS UP TO 
YOUR GENERATION. 
MEANWHILE JUST A SHORT DISTANCE 
FROM THE BEACH, THOSE MOST AT 
RISK. 
>> YOU LIKE THE IDEA THAT WE 
ARE DOING THIS INTERVIEW WITH 
THIS PROTECTION? 
>> 93-YEAR-OLD SHIRLEY TOLD ME 
HER GENERATION WOULD HAVE 
HEEDED THE WARNINGS. 
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE TODAY? 
>> THEY THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL, 
THAT'S WHY I GOT TO BE 93, JUST 
LISTEN. 
>> THE ISSUE IN CLEARWATER IS 
THAT PINELLAS COUNTY IS VERY 
OLD, AND THERE ARE SO MANY 
PEOPLE AT RISK, THERE ARE A LOT 
OF MOBILE HOMES THAT SURROUND 
CLEARWATER BEACH, AND IT'S 
SOMETHING TO CERTAINLY BE AWARE 
OF. 
THE CONCERN IS ON THE HIGH RISK 
RESIDENTS, A NEW GOVERNMENT 
REPORT IS CONCERNING DOCTORS 
SHOWING MORE YOUNG ADULTS ARE 
BEING HOSPITALIZED. 
CDC RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT MORE 
THAN 2400 CASES OF COVID-19 AND 
FOUND UP TO 1/5 OF THE PATIENTS 
THAT HAD TO BE HOSPITALIZED 
WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 AND 
44 AND BETWEEN TWO AND 4% HAD 
TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ICU. 
HOWEVER THE DEATH RATE AMONG 
THAT GROUP IS STILL LOW.>>> I 
AM BROADCASTING TO YOU FROM MY 
HOME TONIGHT, IN MY BASEMENT, 
WE ARE ABLE TO FEED IN ALL THE 
DATA FROM OUR WEATHER COMPUTER 
INTO THIS MONITOR AT MY HOUSE 
AND KEEP YOU POSTED ON WHAT'S 
HAPPENING OUT THERE AS WE ARE 
EXERCISING SOCIAL DISTANCING. 
I KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS, AS WE 
WERE SETTING ALL OF THIS UP, I 
WAS LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND 
I WAS JEALOUS OF THE FOLKS WHO 
WERE ABLE TO GET OUT AND SOAK 
UP THIS WEATHER. 
WE GOT UP TO 80 DEGREES FOR A 
HIGH TEMPERATURE, OUR LOW THIS 
MORNING WAS 59. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 66 FOR AN 
AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURE FOR 
THIS TIME OF YEAR. 
AND 5 DEGREES AWAY FROM THE 
RECORD SET IN 1982. 
AND WE STILL HAVE THAT SURPLUS 
COME ABOUT 11 INCHES OVER WHERE 
WE SHOULD BE FOR RAINFALL SO 
FAR THIS YEAR. 
AND SPRING AGAIN TONIGHT AT 
11:49 IS THE EQUINOX, WHEN 
SPRING OFFICIALLY BEGINS IF YOU 
LOOK AT IT ASTRONOMICALLY. 
AT 11:49, IT WILL BE THE 
EARLIEST SPRING IN THE U.S. IN 
MORE THAN 124 YEARS. 
IT'S WHEN THE SUN IS DIRECTLY 
OVER THE EQUATOR, USUALLY YOU 
THINK OF SPRING BEGINNING MARCH 
21, AND SOMETIMES IT'S THE 22nd 
OR 23rd, THIS YEAR IT'S THE 19th
, JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT, THAT'S 
WHY IT'S THE EARLIEST SPRING 
WE'VE HAD IN 124 YEARS. 
SO HERE'S WHAT WE ARE WATCHING 
AS WE GO THROUGH THE SPRING, I 
WANTED TO REITERATE THIS AGAIN. 
THE FORECAST IS INDICATING FROM 
THE CLIMATE PREDICTION CENTER, 
TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARMER 
THAN NORMAL THIS SPRING AND IT 
LOOKS LIKE WE WILL CONTINUE 
THAT PATTERN OF WETTER THAN 
NORMAL TEMPERATURES OUT THERE 
AS WELL. 
FOR FRIDAY, ANOTHER ABOVE 
AVERAGE DAY, GETTING UP TO 80 
DEGREES. 
I'M REALLY THINKING MOST OF THE 
DAYTIME HOURS WILL BE DRY. 
WE WILL SEE SHOWERS COMING IN 
LATER IN THE DAY, MAYBE A FEW 
THUNDERSTORMS, BUT WE DON'T 
THINK THEY WILL BE SEVERE. 
THURSDAY, AT THE 8:00 HOUR, AS 
WE ARE WATCHING A FEW CLOUDS 
THAT WE HAVE AROUND, BUT NO 
RAIN HERE, A REALLY NICE NIGHT. 
THEN FRIDAY MORNING, A NICE 
START TO THE DAY, AND I THINK 
THE DAYTIME HOURS WILL BE DRY. 
A FEW MORE CLOUDS WILL BE 
BUILDING IN. 
LATE IN THE AFTERNOON, AROUND 
5:00 SHOWERS WILL START TO MOVE 
IN TO NORTHWEST GEORGIA, 
SPREADING INTO THE METRO AREA 
AT 9:00 WITH A COUPLE OF 
POCKETS OF MODERATE TO HEAVY 
SHOWER ACTIVITY. 
BUT WE THINK THAT WILL BE 
TAPERING OFF BY SATURDAY 
MORNING. 
WE WILL STILL GO WITH THE 20% 
CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON SATURDAY 
BUT I THINK MOST OF US WILL 
EXPERIENCE A LOT OF DRY HOURS 
ON SATURDAY AS WE COOL BACK 
DOWN TO 73. 
COOLER ON SUNDAY AT 64, BACKUP 
TO 50% CHANCE FOR MONDAY, UPPER 
60s ON TUESDAY, THEN WE HAVE 
TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY 
WITH A 30 TO 40% CHANCE OF 
SHOWERS THAT WARMING BACK UP 
INTO THE 70s FOR WEDNESDAY NEAR 
80 BY THURSDAY.>>> MYTHS ABOUT 
THE CORONAVIRUS ARE EVERYWHERE, 
THAT'S WHY THE VERIFY TEAM IS 
HERE TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT 
AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. 
TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT 
HAIRDRYERS BECAUSE TWO 
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MYTHS HAVE 
POPPED UP SAYING BASICALLY THE 
OPPOSITE ONE IS HAIRDRYERS ARE 
KILLING THE CORONAVIRUS AND THE 
OTHER SAYS THEY ARE SPREADING 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
HERE ARE OUR SOURCES, A DOCTOR 
FROM JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, 
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION 
AND THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE 
CONTROL AND PREVENTION. 
LET'S START WITH CLAIM NUMBER 
ONE, CAN HAIRDRYERS REALLY KILL 
THE VIRUS, OUR EXPERTS SAY NO. 
>> THERE'S NOT ENOUGH EVIDENCE 
TO SAY THEY REACH HIGH ENOUGH 
TEMPERATURES OR DRYING OUT THE 
VIRUS WILL PREVENT 
TRANSMISSION. 
>> THE WHO AGREES, THEY EVEN 
POSTED THIS TO A MYTHBUSTERS 
PAGE, THAT THEY ARE NOT 
EFFECTIVE TO KILLING THE VIRUS. 
AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU WILL 
SEE THINGS LIKE THIS, I BET 
THOSE HAND DRYER THINGS ARE 
FULL OF THE CORONAVIRUS. 
THESE CLAIMS ARE NOTHING NEW. 
A FEW YEARS AGO WE DID A STORY 
ABOUT THIS PRETTY HORRIFYING 
PHOTO ON SOCIAL MEDIA, IT 
SHOWED A PETRI DISH UNDER A 
HAND DRYER FOR A FEW MINUTES 
BUT LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. 
THESE ARE MICROORGANISMS OFTEN 
REFERRED TO AS MICROBES, AND 
WHILE THEY LOOK SCARY THEY ARE 
NOT NECESSARILY HARMFUL. 
THE CDC SAYS WE HAVE NO 
EVIDENCE OF HAND DRYERS 
SPREADING THE VIRUS.>> IT'S 
BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE LEAGUES 
BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN AND 
SUSPENDING, THE MLS BECAME THE 
FIRST ONE TO RELEASE A TARGET 
DATE TO RESUME GAMES. 
THE NEW DATE THAT MLS HAS 
TARGETED HIS MAY 10, THAT'S 
BEING INCREDIBLY OPTIMISTIC. 
THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WITH A 
DATE AND HERE'S WHAT WE'VE 
HEARD ON THE OTHER MAJOR 
LEAGUES. 
THE MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL AND 
NHL HOPING TO RESTART BY MAY, 
THE NBA IS NOT LOOKING UNTIL 
MID-JUNE, BUT THEY HAVE 
DISCUSSED OTHER OPTIONS SUCH AS 
A FUNDRAISER TELEVISION EVENT 
ACCORDING TO ESPN. 
AND WITH MUCH OF ATLANTA 
CLOSING DOWN, INCLUDING GYMS, 
IT WILL BE EASY TO BECOME A 
COUCH POTATO AND EAT ISOLATION 
SNACKS OF A LOT OF 
CARBOHYDRATES. 
LUCKILY ALEX GLAZE IS LOOKING 
OUT FOR US WITH SOME HEALTH 
QUARANTINE HEALTH TIPS JUST 
WHEN WE NEED THEM. 
>> JOINED NOW BY A PERSONAL 
TRAINER OUT HERE IN ATLANTA, SO 
CHELSEA, PEOPLE ARE HOME A LOT 
MORE NOW, WHAT IS A GOOD 
STRATEGY TO AVOID EATING MORE? 
IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, THE FRIDGES 
RIGHT THERE NOW. 
>> MY FIRST TIP IS BE MINDFUL 
OF WHAT YOU ARE BRINGING INTO 
YOUR HOUSE. 
THOSE QUICK SNACKS THAT YOU 
TEND TO MINDLESSLY EAT, AND 
WATCH PORTIONS TWO.>> CHELSEA 
CORREA, PERSONAL TRAINER AND MY 
YOGA INSTRUCTOR, I APPRECIATE 
YOUR TIME. 
>> I GOT A SNEAK PEAK OF THE 
GEORGIA FILM BLACK WIDOW, 
ALTHOUGH THE RELEASE 
>>> ALL RIGHT FOLKS, YOU KNOW 
WHAT TIME IT IS, IT IS TIME FOR 
THURSDAY'S EDITION OF THE A-
SCENE, WE ARE KICKING OVER THE 
LATEST PERSON IN THE  INDUSTRY 
THAT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
IN A VERY DETAILED INSTAGRAM 
POSE, A MUSIC PRODUCER SAYS IT 
ALL BEGAN DAYS AGO WHEN HE FELT 
LIKE HE GOT HIT BY A BUS AND HE 
WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF BED. 
AFTER BEING SEEN BY A DOCTOR HE 
TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE FLU AND 
SAYS THE DOCTOR REASSURED HIM 
THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN OUT OF THE 
COUNTRY SO HE DID NOT HAVE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
WELL HE SAYS HIS FEVER 
CONTINUED, SO DID THE DRY COUGH 
AND AFTER BEING RUSHED TO THE 
HOSPITAL AND BEGGING FOR THE 
TEST ALL WHILE BEING TURNED 
DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES HE WAS 
EVENTUALLY TESTED AND THE 
RESULTS CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
NOW HE HAS TAKEN TO HIS SOCIAL 
MEDIA TO URGE EACH ONE OF HIS 
FOLLOWERS TO SOCIAL DISTANCE, 
SENATE HAS PROPERLY AND DON'T 
THINK IT'S A JOKE. 
THAT'S THE TRAILER FOR MARVEL'S 
UPCOMING GEORGIA FILM BLACK 
WIDOW STARRING SCARLETT 
JOHANSSON, IT WAS FILMED RIGHT 
HERE IN ATLANTA AND IS EXPECTED 
TO HIT THEATERS MAY 1 BUT HAS 
BEEN SHIFTED AMID THE 
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC. 
THE DIZZY SUPERHERO ACTION WILL 
BE CURRENT DOES NOT HAVE A 
SCHEDULED DATE FOR RELEASE. 
BUT IN THE MEANTIME IF YOU 
REALLY NEED THAT BLACK WIDOW 
DECKS, CHECK OUT SCARLETT 
JOHANSSON'S COVER. 
THIS IS EMPIRE MAGAZINE AND 
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY. 
THE BLACK WIDOW STAR GETS 
CANDID AS MARVEL'S LATEST. 
>> IS THE CORONAVIRUS SPREADS, 
AMERICANS ARE URGED TO 
>> THE PHRASE OF THE BECOME A 
SOCIAL DISTANCING, OFFICIALS 
ARE URGING AMERICANS TO STAY AT 
SAFE DISTANCE FROM OTHERS. 
FOR SOME, ISOLATION CAN REALLY 
TAKE A TOLL ON OVERALL MENTAL 
HEALTH, BUT WHERE TO STAY 
POSITIVE, AND HOW TO DO IT. 
FIRST OF ALL, KEEP TO YOUR 
REGULAR ROUTINE AND STICK TO IT 
NORMAL SLEEP SCHEDULE. 
DON'T PUT YOUR PAJAMAS ON ALL 
DAY. 
UNEVEN SLEEP COULD LEAD TO 
STRESS. 
NUMBER TWO, STAY ACTIVE, YOU 
MAY FIND YOURSELF GLUED TO YOUR 
SCREENS, STOP, GO OUTSIDE, GO 
FOR A WALK, STRETCH, DO YOGA. 
FRESH AIR AND DAYLIGHT HELPS 
REDUCE STRESS. 
NUMBER THREE, LIMIT SOCIAL 
MEDIA. 
CONSTANT SCROLLING CAN MAKE YOU 
CRAZY AND CAN ACTUALLY LEAD TO 
FEELING MORE DISCONNECTED. 
PLUS, THERE IS SO MUCH BAD 
INFORMATION OUT THERE THAT IT'S 
STAGGERING AND IT'S 
FRIGHTENING. 
DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU 
READ. 
BE SURE TO ONLY VISIT TRUSTED 
NEWS OUTLETS. 
NUMBER FOUR, DON'T GHOST YOUR 
FRIENDS AND FAMILY. 
FACE TIME, GROUP TEXT, ALL 
GREAT WAYS TO REMIND YOURSELF 
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST BE 
REALISTIC WITH YOURSELF, SOCIAL 
DISTANCING WILL TAKE TIME TO 
FIGURE OUT SO DON'T EXPECT TO 
BE QUITE AS PRODUCTIVE RIGHT 
AWAY. 
GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME, 
AND CUT YOURSELF SOME SLACK TO 
WORK OUT THE DETAILS. 
IT'S IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THIS 
IS ONLY TEMPORARY BUT IT'S A 
CRUCIAL WEIGHT TO MAKE SURE 
DOCTORS AND ALL OF US GET 
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AS QUICKLY 
AS POSSIBLE.>> 11 ALIVE PRIME 
TIME  ON THAT ATL STARTS NOW. 
>> IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS THE 
NUMBER OF CORONAVIRUS CASES IN 
GEORGIA NOW STANDS AT 287. 
ALMOST 100 MORE THAN YESTERDAY 
EMMA EVEN MORE SOBERING 
TONIGHT, THE DEPARTMENT OF 
PUBLIC HEALTH IS NOW REPORTING 
10 DEATHS WHERE LAST NIGHT WE 
STOOD AT 4. ANOTHER MILESTONE 
GLOBALLY, ITALY'S DEATH TOLL IS 
NOW OVERTAKING CHINA WITH MORE 
THAN 3400. 
WORLDWIDE MORE THAN 242,000 
CONFIRMED CASES OF COVID-19. 
THE CONSISTENT CALL FROM THE 
GOVERNOR'S EACH AND EVERY DAY, 
WE ALL HAVE TO DO OUR PART TO 
SLOW DOWN THE SPREAD OF THE 
VIRUS AND MAKE SURE HOSPITALS 
AND DOCTORS DO NOT GET MORE 
OVERWHELMED TREATING A SUDDEN 
SURGE OF PATIENTS. 
A MAJOR PART OF THAT EFFORT 
INVOLVES REDUCING CHANCES FOR 
BIG CROWDS TOGETHER TOGETHER. 
SO TO COMBAT THE SPREAD OF THE 
VIRUS THAT MAYOR IS NOW 
ORDERING RESTAURANTS TO ONLY 
OFFER TAKE OUT SERVICE AND 
ORDERING OTHER BUSINESSES LIKE 
BARS, GEMS, MOVIE THEATERS AND 
OTHER VENUES TO CLOSE AT 
MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. 
THIS NEWS COMES AS THE 
SUPERINTENDENT IS CONFIRMING 
THE FIRST CASE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS AT ATLANTA PUBLIC 
SCHOOLS. 
SHE SAYS THERE WAS NO EXPOSURE 
TO STUDENTS AND THE SCHOOL 
EMPLOYEE HAD NO CLOSE CONTACT 
TO STAFF. 
PRESENT DONALD TRUMP VISITED 
FEMA HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON 
TODAY WHERE HE LANDED A 
VIDEOCONFERENCE WITH THE 
GOVERNOR. 
HE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO 
ADDRESS THE PRESIDENT. 
>> I WANT TO ENQUEUE FOR 
STANDING UP AT THE MEDICAL 
FACILITY, BUT I WANT TO 
ENCOURAGE YOU TO CONSIDER 
LEAVING THE FACILITY AND HELP 
US WITH THE SURGE WE ARE SEEING 
IN OUR AREA HOSPITALS. 
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, WE WILL 
CONSIDER EVERYTHING YOU'VE 
SAID, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
>> GOVERNOR KEMP ALSO SUGGESTED 
BLOCK GRANTS FOR STATES TO HELP 
WITH REVENUE SHORTFALLS AND 
GOVERNORS TO KEEP POWER TO 
DIRECT THE NATIONAL GUARD IN 
THEIR PARTICULAR STATES. 
IN THE LAST HOUR WE LEARNED 
MORE ABOUT THE DEATHS CONFIRMED 
IN GEORGIA BECAUSE OF THE 
VIRUS. 
WE ARE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT 
THOSE NUMBERS ALONG WITH A 
CLUSTER OF NEW CASES IN ONE 
PARTICULAR COUNTY.>> Reporter: 
AT THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE THIS 
AFTERNOON CONFIRMING 287 COVID-
19 CASES STATEWIDE ACROSS 35 
COUNTIES. 
ALSO UP IS THE DEATH TOLL, THEY 
ARE REPORTING 10 DEATHS AFTER 
JUST 1 ON WEDNESDAY. 
GOVERNOR KEMP ANNOUNCED FOUR OF 
THE DEATHS ARE FROM DORITY 
COUNTY, TWO ARE FROM FULTON. 
STATEWIDE FULTON COUNTY 
CONTINUES TO BE HOME TO THE 
MOST CONFIRMED CASES OF COVID-
19 ACCORDING TO THE STATE 
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH. 
BARTOW COUNTY REMAINS IN THE 
TOP FOUR COUNTIES FOR CASES 
WITH 26 TOTAL DESPITE ONLY 
HAVING A POPULATION OF SLIGHTLY 
OVER 100,000 PEOPLE. 
COMPARED TO A WEEK AGO THE 
TOTAL AMOUNT OF CASES ARE UP 
SIGNIFICANTLY STATEWIDE WITH 
CASES NEARLY 3 TIMES AS MANY 
COUNTIES. 
AS IS THE TREND KEMP CONTINUES 
TO SEE. 
>> EARLY ON WHEN WE DIDN'T HAVE 
MANY TESTS BACK AND RESULT IN, 
THAT THE MORE WE TEST, THE MORE 
WE WILL FIND. 
WE CERTAINLY SAW THAT TODAY. 
I THINK THAT WILL CONTINUE. 
>> GOVERNOR KEMP SAID HE IS NOT 
ISSUING A STATEWIDE MANDATORY 
QUARANTINE, INSTEAD HE IS 
LEAVING THE DECISION UP TO 
LOCAL GOVERNMENT. 
BUT HE'S ASKING EVERYONE TO 
PRACTICE SOCIAL DISTANCING, 
AVOID GATHERINGS OF MORE THAN 
10 PEOPLE. 
>> GOVERNOR BRYAN KEMP ALSO 
SAYING THE STATE DOES NOT PLAN 
TO FORCE BUSINESSES TO CLOSE OR 
ISSUE A STATEWIDE QUARANTINE, 
BUT HE IS PREPARING FOR 
SHORTAGES AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES. 
DOUG RICHARDS HAS MORE ON THAT. 
>> GOVERNOR KEMP SPOKE FROM A 
PODIUM IN A MOSTLY EMPTY ROOM 
AT THE CAPITAL WITH NO 
REPORTERS PRESENT. 
HE TOOK SOME QUESTIONS ONLINE 
AND EMPHASIZE THAT HE HOPES TO 
AVOID TAKING SOME STEPS OTHER 
STATES HAVE TAKEN. 
>> AT THIS TIME I DO NOT PLAN 
TO ISSUE A STATEWIDE QUARANTINE.
WE NEED TO CALL ON THE LOCALS 
TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION 
FOR COMMUNITIES. 
>> HE SAYS HE ALSO HAS NO PLANS 
TO ORDER BUSINESSES LIKE 
RESTAURANTS AND BARS TO CLOSE 
YOU KNOW LATEST ISSUE 
QUARANTINE ORDERS EVEN THOUGH 
SOME AREAS OF THE STATE ARE 
BECOMING COVID-19 HOTSPOTS.>> 
WE ARE SEEING COMMUNITY 
TRANSMISSION, PARTICULARLY IN 
SOME OF THESE HOTSPOT AREAS. 
AND SO IN SOME WAYS, THE 
MESSAGE WE ARE TRYING TO GET 
OUT TO EVERYONE IS THAT TESTING 
IS IMPORTANT, BUT THE MOST 
IMPORTANT THING THAT THE PUBLIC 
CAN DO RIGHT NOW IS FOLLOW 
THESE GUIDELINES, STAY HOME, 
DON'T GO OUT IF YOU ARE SICK. 
HONOR THE SOCIAL DISTANCING 
REQUEST. 
>> GOVERNOR KEMP SAID HE ASKED 
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO 
MAINTAIN THE SPACE AT THE 
DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE. 
STORMING TO PROMINENT DOCTORS 
IN ATLANTA SAY AT LEAST NINE 
PHYSICIANS IN THE CITY HAVE 
COVID-19 AND THEY EXPECT MORE 
CASES FOR HEALTHCARE WORKERS. 
DR. CARLOS DEL RIO IS THE CHAIR 
OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND 
DR. SANDRA IS A NEUROSURGEON AS 
WELL AS THE CHIEF MEDICAL 
CORRESPONDENT FOR CNN.>> SOME 
OF THE EMAILS CAME IN LAST 
NIGHT, GUYS, THIS IS HAPPENING, 
WE ARE SEEING DROVES OF 
PATIENTS BEING ADMITTED WITH 
COVID-19. 
NINE DOCTORS ARE NOW SICK WITH 
20 MORE EXPECTED TOMORROW. 
THE NINTH DOCTORS WERE TESTED 
POSITIVE. 
>> IT WILL GET WORSE OVER THE 
COMING WEEKS, AND THE ICUS AS 
WELL. 
AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS ARE AT 
RISK. 
>> BOTH MADE A VERY GOOD POINT 
TO SAY WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS 
BUT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND 
THAT REALITY OF WHAT'S 
HAPPENING INSIDE OUR HOSPITALS. 
THE DECISION WE ALL MAKE NOW 
WILL EITHER HELP OR PUT A 
STRAIN ON THE HEALTHCARE 
SYSTEM.>>> GEORGE'S COLLEGES

FROM THE CORONAVIRUS. 
FROM STUDENTS RAISING TO RETURN 
HOME FROM STUDIES ABROAD TO

INSTITUTIONS ARE WORKING AS 
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO ISSUE 
PARTIAL REFUNDS TO STUDENTS, 
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO REQUIRED 
TO MOVE OUT OF CAMPUS HOUSING

HUGE RELIEF TO ME BECAUSE NOW I 
KNOW THEY WILL BE OKAY.

LEADERS SAY THAT'S ONE OF THE 
BEST WAYS WE CAN HELP FLATTEN 
THE CURVE. 
THIS GRAPHIC SHOWS HOW CASES 
WOULD GROW IF WE CARRIED ON AS 
NORMAL. 
BUT BY PRACTICING SOCIAL 
DISTANCING WE CAN SLOW THE 
SPREAD OF THE VIRUS, MAKING IT

PROMISING A SURGE OF THOSE 
MASKS AND VENTILATORS THAT 
COULD BE USED TO PROTECT PEOPLE 
AND SAVE LIVES. 
BUT THE PRESIDENT BACKING OFF 
AN EARLIER PROMISE TO INVOKE A 
WARTIME POWER AND HAVING 
COMPANIES PRODUCE ESSENTIAL 
EQUIPMENT SAYING IT'S THAT JOB 
OF THE CITY AND STATE TO FIND 
THEIR OWN. 
>> THE CITY GOVERNMENT IS NOT 
TO SUPPOSED TO BE OUT THERE 
PROVIDING VAST AMOUNTS OF ITEMS 
AND SHIPPING THEM. 
>> THE PRESIDENT BRIEFLY 
RAISING HOPES THAT THE 
GOVERNMENT HAS HAD A FAST 
TRACK. 
>> WE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE THAT 
DRUG AVAILABLE ALMOST 
IMMEDIATELY. 
>> MOMENTS LATER HIS FDA 
COMMISSIONER IS SUGGESTING IT 
WON'T BE SO QUICK. 
TESTING STILL HAS TO TAKE 
PLACE. 
>> NO PROMISES CAN BE MADE, BUT 
ONE THING WE ARE DOING IS 
REALLY WORKING HARD TO FAST-
TRACK. 
>> WORKING IS WHAT A LOT OF 
AMERICANS ARE WORRIED ABOUT 
WITH THOUSANDS ALREADY OUT OF 
JOBS AND MANY MORE CONCERNED 
THEY WON'T HAVE JOBS TO COME 
BACK TO WHEN THE CRISIS PASSES. 
THE BIG THREE AUTOMAKERS IDLING 
PRODUCTION LINES FOR THE NEXT 
TWO WEEKS. 
AIRLINES CANCELING FLIGHTS, THE 
STOCK MARKET LOSING ALL THE 
GAINS MADE OVER THE LAST THREE 
YEARS. 
THE DAY AFTER PRESIDENT TRUMP 
SIGNED AN INITIAL AID BILL TO 
PROVIDE SOME SICK LEAVE AND 
FREE VIRUS TESTING, LEGISLATORS 
RACING AGAINST THE ROCK TO PASS 
$1 TRILLION ECONOMIC STIMULUS 
THAT COULD HELP AILING 
BUSINESSES AND PUT CHECKS IN 
AMERICANS MAILBOXES IN A MATTER 
OF WEEKS. 
>> CARNAVAL IS VOLUNTEERING 
SOME OF ITS LATEST TEMPORARY 
HOSPITALS FOR NON-COVID-19 
PATIENTS. 
CRUISE SHIPS CAN PROVIDE FOR UP 
TO 1000 HOSPITAL ROOMS WHICH 
COULD BE QUICKLY OUTFITTED WITH 
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT INCLUDING 
INTENSIVE CARE. 
THAT COULD BE REALLY VITAL HERE 
BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE 
AMERICAN HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION 
THERE ARE ONLY 924,000 STAFF 
BEDS IN ALL U.S. HOSPITALS, SO 
AS COUNTRIES AROUND THE GLOBE 
CONTINUE TO CLOSE THEIR BORDERS 
TO CURB THE SPREAD OF COVID-19, 
THAT'S LEFT THOUSANDS OF 
AMERICAN STRANDED ON SOME 
CRUISE SHIPS. 
ONE ATLANTA WOMAN SAID SHE 
ISN'T SURE WHEN SHE WILL BE 
ABLE TO GET HOME. 
>> WE HAVE NO IDEA IF WE WILL 
BE ALLOWED TO DISEMBARK. 
>> Reporter: KIMBERLY IS ONE OF 
THOUSANDS ON THE NORWEGIAN 
SPIRIT. 
SHE SAYS THE FIRST WEEK OF THE 
JOURNEY PRETTY MUCH WENT AS 
PLANNED BUT FOR THE LAST TWO 
WEEKS THEY'VE BARELY SEEN LAND. 
THE PORTS DID NOT ALLOW THEM TO 
DISEMBARK DUE TO CONCERNS OVER 
COVID-19. 
11 ALIVE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO 
CONFIRM ANY CASES ON BOARD  AND 
THERE IS NOT AS NEEDS TO BE 
HEARD. 
>> WE ARE PERFECTLY HEALTHY AND 
WE HAVE BEEN BASICALLY 
QUARANTINED FOR THE LAST TWO 
WEEKS, THERE'S NOT EVEN A COLD 
ON THE SHIP. 
>> LAST NIGHT SHE SAID THE 
PASSENGERS ALL GOT A NOTE 
ASKING THEM TO TURN IN AND GET 
READY FOR DEPARTURE ON THE 
22nd. 
THAT'S ABOUT ALL THE 
INFORMATION SHE AND OTHER 
PASSENGERS WERE GIVEN. 
>> WE WOULD FEEL BETTER IF WE 
WERE GETTING SMALL LITTLE 
NUGGETS OF INFORMATION. 
>> HER CONCERN NOW IS WHETHER 
THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DISEMBARK 
ON SUNDAY AT ALL. 
SOUTH AFRICA IMPLEMENTED TRAVEL 
RESTRICTIONS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE 
VISITED EIGHT OF THE HARDEST 
HIT NATIONS INCLUDING THE U.S.. 
>> IT'S A VERY REAL CONCERN 
THAT LITERALLY EVERY COUNTRY IN 
THE WORLD IS SHUTTING ITS 
BORDERS. 
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF US OUT 
THERE WITHOUT SOMEWHERE TO GO. 
>> THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW, A 
NORWEGIAN CRUISE LINE 
SPOKESPERSON SAID NORWEGIAN 
SPIRIT IS CURRENTLY SAILING I 
REVIVED 21 DAY ITINERARY FROM 
DUBAI ADDING IT WILL SHARE 
UPDATES AS THEY BECOME 
AVAILABLE.>>> I'M WITH YOU 
TONIGHT FROM MY BASEMENT, WE 
ARE EXERCISING SOCIAL 
DISTANCING HERE AT 11 ALIVE AS 
WELL AS TESTING OUT OUR ABILITY 
TO BROADCAST TO YOU LIVE FROM 
OUR HOME. 
I'M DOING THIS BY MYSELF, THERE 
IS NO ONE ELSE HERE WITH ME 
RIGHT NOW EXCEPT FOR MY WIFE 
UPSTAIRS. 
I HAVE NO CREW HERE OR CAMERA 
PERSON, NO ONE IN A LIVE TRUCK 
OR SATELLITE TRUCK OUTSIDE, 
THIS IS ALL COMING THROUGH MY 
PHONE. 
SO IF THIS HAPPENS TO LOCK UP 
IN A MINUTE, JUST STAY WITH US 
AND WE WILL GET IT BACK GOING. 
IT'S REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE 
WE CAN DO THIS FROM OUR HOME, 
AND WE ARE DOING THIS IN CASE 
THIS BECOMES THE NORMAL LATER, 
WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT. 
MEANWHILE DID YOU ENJOY THE DAY 
OUT THERE TODAY? 
WE HAD A LOT OF SUNSHINE, WITH 
SOME CLOUDS MIXING IN, I KNOW 
YOU SEE SOME GREEN THERE ON THE 
SOUTH SIDE, BUT THERE'S NO RAIN 
FALLING. 
OVER TO THE WEST WE HAVE 
SHOWERS AND STORMS ROLLING 
THROUGH, SOME TORNADO WATCHES 
IN EFFECT IN PARTS OF ARKANSAS 
INTO TEXAS AND UP NORTH IN 
KENTUCKY, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND 
INDIANA.>> REMEMBER CHRIS SAID 
THAT SOMETIMES HE MAY FREEZE UP 
BECAUSE HE IS DOING THE WEATHER 
CAST FROM HOME WILL GUESS WHAT? 
HE JUST FROZE BECAUSE HE IS 
HAVING SOME TECHNICAL 
DIFFICULTIES. 
WE WILL CHECK BACK IN WITH 
CHRIS AFTER WE GET RID OF ALL 
THE GREMLINS AND START ALL OVER 
AGAIN. 
RESTAURANTS ARE FACING ALL 
KINDS OF CHALLENGES THEY'VE 
NEVER SEEN BEFORE. 
DESPITE THAT WE HEAR FROM 
BUSINESSES TRANSFORMING TO HELP 
A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE.>> 
Reporter: A BREWERY IN DULUTH 
IS OPERATING LIKE A SOUP 
KITCHEN, GOOD WORD BREWERY AND 
PUBLIC HOUSE IN DOWNTOWN DULUTH 
IS OFFERING FREE FOOD. 
NEIGHBORS AND OTHER LOCAL 
BUSINESSES ARE DONATING FOOD TO 
HELP KEEP IT GOING. 
THE GENERAL MANAGER SAYS IT 
SOMETHING GOOD HE CAN DO AMID 
VERY HARD TIMES FOR HIS OWN 
STAFF. 
A SIMILAR SET UP AT THE BRICK 
STORE DONATION KITCHEN, 
CURBSIDE SERVICE FOR PEOPLE WHO 
DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO EAT RIGHT 
NOW OR THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT 
THEIR NEXT PAYCHECK. 
IF PEOPLE CAN OFFER A DONATION 
TO THE FOOD, GREAT. 
IF THEY CAN'T, THEY WILL NOT BE 
TURNED AWAY. 
100% OF THE MONEY WILL GO TO 
THE STAFF AS THE BUSINESS TRIES 
TO SUPPORT THOSE FAMILIES, TOO. 
>>> WE'RE BACK HERE WITH YOU, 
AS I MENTIONED SOMETIMES IT 
FREEZES UP ON US, SO LET'S GET 
RIGHT DOWN TO IT. 
AS WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE 
STORMS TO THE WEST, I KNOW 
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THOSE 
WONDERING IF THEY WILL MOVE OUR 
WAY. 
WILL THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER 
THREAT FOR TONIGHT WILL BE IN 
ARKANSAS, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AND 
INDIANA, THOSE PLACES WHERE WE 
SAW THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WITH 
TORNADO WARNINGS IN EFFECT. 
TOMORROW, THE ENERGY WILL MOVE 
TO THE NORTH AND EAST, THERE IS 
SOME OF THIS THAT WILL REMAIN 
IN THE SOUTH THOUGH. 
YOU WILL NOTICED THAT IT'S A 
LEVEL I RISK, MARGINAL RISK, 
AND THAT COMES RIGHT OVER TO 
THE GEORGIA AND ALABAMA LINE. 
THIS WILL BE A LOT WEAKER BY 
THE TIME HE MOVES INTO OUR 
AREA, WE ARE CALLING FOR 
GENERAL SHOWERS AND 
THUNDERSHOWERS POSSIBLE LATE 
TOMORROW NIGHT BUT NOTHING TOO 
SEVERE. 
I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN A 
THUNDERSTORM SYMBOL THINKING 
THUNDERSTORMS AND AND IT 8, WE 
REALLY THINK THE DAYTIME HOURS 
WILL BE DRY, IT WILL BE LATE 
WHEN WE SEE THE RAIN MOVING, 
AND HERE'S THE FORECAST TRACK, 
WATCH THE TIMELINE AT THE TOP 
OF THE SCREEN, YOU CAN SEE THE 
SOUTHERLY FLOW KEEPING US WARM. 
IN THE MORNING WE WILL BE 
LOOKING GOOD, BUT WATCH THE 
CLOUDS, THEY WILL START 
BUILDING IN DURING THE DAY, 
THIS IS A LUNCHTIME TO READ A 
FEW MORE CLOUDS AND STILL NO 
RAIN. 
THEN BY FIVE IN THE AFTERNOON 
DRY IN ATLANTA WITH SHOWERS 
COMING INTO NORTHWEST GEORGIA 
THAT WILL CONTINUE TO ADVANCE. 
BY EIGHT-9:00, SHOWERS WILL BE 
MOVING IN, AND THE POTENTIAL 
FOR THUNDER AND LIGHTNING, BUT 
WE DO NOT THINK IT WILL BE 
SEVERE. 
BY SATURDAY MORNING A LOT OF IT 
WILL HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE AREA 
AND WE WILL SEE A MIXTURE OF 
SUNSHINE AND CLOUDS, BUT NOT A 
BAD DAY FOR YOUR SATURDAY. 
AND THAT WILL BE THE DRIEST DAY 
WITH ONLY A 20% CHANCE OF 
SHOWERS, HIGHS NEAR 73, COOLER 
SUNDAY AT 64, AND A 40% CHANCE 
OF RAIN. 
50% OR MONDAY, WE START WARMING 
BACKUP TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY AND 
THURSDAY, OR 2% CHANCE OF RAIN 
AND WE WILL HAVE MORE LIVE FROM 
THE BASEMENT IN OUR NEXT HALF 
HOUR.>>> YOU KNOW WITH SCHOOLS 
CLOSING STATEWIDE BECAUSE OF 
COVID-19, IF YOU ARE A PARENT 
AND YOU ARE SETTLING INTO THIS 
NEW ROLE AS A HOMESCHOOLER, 
MANY OF YOU MAY BE FEELING 
OVERWHELMED AND AT A LOSS FOR 
RESOURCES WHILE YOU TAKE ON 
THIS NEW CHALLENGE. 
FOR FULL-TIME HOMESCHOOLER AMY 
MEDFORD, IT'S ALL ABOUT LEANING 
ON EACH OTHER.>> FIND SOME 
OTHER PARENTS, FIND A SUPPORT 
GROUP, A NETWORK, OR YOU ARE 
WELCOME TO COME IN AND JOIN OUR 
SCHOOL GROUP FOR A LITTLE 
WHILE. 
THAT'S ALL THIS IS, LEARNING 
FROM EVERYBODY ELSE. 
>> THAT'S RIGHT AND SUPPORTING 
EACH OTHER. 
MEDFORD ALSO SUGGESTS SETTING A 
DAILY ROUTINE TO KEEP YOUR KIDS 
IN LINE. 
PUT IN TIME FOR SCHOOLWORK, 
READING AND PLAYTIME AND TAKE 
ADVANTAGE OF ONLINE RESOURCES. 
REMEMBER, THIS IS ONLY 
TEMPORARY. 
>> IT WILL NOT BE FOREVER. 
YOU CAN MAKE IT, YOU CAN DO 
IT.>>> STRAIGHT AHEAD, WE ARE 
TAKING YOUR MOST PRESSING 
CORONAVIRUS QUESTIONS AND 
BRINGING THEM TO 11 ALIVE'S 
MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT . HER 
RESPONSE TO WHAT YOU NEED TO
>>> YOU BEEN SENDING US A LOT 
OF QUESTIONS INTO THE NEWSROOM 
ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS, SO SEND 
US YOUR QUESTIONS BY TEXTING US 
ON THE NUMBER AT THE BOTTOM OF 
YOUR SCREEN. 
IT'S 404-873-9 114. 
DOCTORS ARE READY IN HELPING TO 
ANSWER ALL OF THEM. 
HERE'S ONE OF THE FIRST 
QUESTIONS WE ARE GETTING IN, 
LAURA SAYS DOES IBUPROFEN 
WORSEN CORONAVIRUS SYMPTOMS? 
WE MET THERE IS A STATEMENT OUT 
OF EUROPE THAT IBUPROFEN COULD 
MAKE YOU WORSE IF YOU GET 
CORONAVIRUS. 
SO FAR DR. FAUCI AND THE WHO 
SAID THAT'S NOT BEEN PROVEN TO 
BE THE CASE AS OF NOW, SO IT'S 
OKAY TO TAKE IBUPROFEN. 
>> THE NEXT QUESTION IS FROM 
SUNSHINE JOHNSON, SAYS THEY 
KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE ELDERLY 
BEING AT A HIGHER RISK, WHAT 
ABOUT PREGNANT WOMEN? 
>> SO FAR THE DATA WE HAVE OUT 
OF CHINA, THERE'S NOT A LOT, 
BUT THE DATA SAYS THAT PREGNANT 
WOMEN WILL NOT PASS THIS ON TO 
THEIR BABIES, THE BABIES WILL 
BE OKAY. 
PREGNANT WOMEN ARE 
IMMUNOSUPPRESSED, WE DO KNOW 
THAT, AND THEY ARE MORE 
VULNERABLE TO FLUTE 
IMPLICATIONS. 
SO IN THE SAME WAY WE CONSIDER 
WOMEN POSSIBLY MORE AT RISK FOR 
COVID-19. 
HAVING SEEN THAT WE HAVE NOT 
SEEN IT AS SERIOUS AND PREGNANT 
WOMEN AS WE HAVE IN THE 
ELDERLY. 
BUT PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD TAKE 
THE SAME PRECAUTIONS WE ARE ALL 
TAKING. 
>> FINALLY THIS ONE FROM A 
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. 
SHE SAYS FAMILIES NEED A BETTER 
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT TO DO IN 
THE CASE THAT ONLY ONE 
INDIVIDUAL TESTS POSITIVE IN 
THE FAMILY. 
THEY NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO 
PROTECT OTHER EMILY MEMBERS 
YOUNG AND OLD. 
PLEASE SHARE QUARANTINE TIPS 
AND OPTIONS. 
>> IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER 
THAT HAS TESTED POSITIVE, THEN 
EVERYONE IN THE HOUSEHOLD WILL 
BE UNDER QUARANTINE BECAUSE 
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE THOSE 
PEOPLE MAY HAVE CONTRACTED IT 
SO WHAT TO DO THERE IS ALL THE 
PEOPLE WHO ARE IN DIRECT 
CONTACT WITH THE POSITIVE 
PERSON, AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, 
SELF QUARANTINE. 
MEANING YOU NEED TO LIMIT YOUR 
CONTACT OR DON'T HAVE CONTACT 
WITH ANYBODY OUTSIDE THE 
IMMEDIATE FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN 
AROUND THE POSITIVE CORONAVIRUS 
PATIENTS. 
>> THANKS A LOT DOC, IF YOU 
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS LET US KNOW 
YOU CAN TEXT IS TO THE NUMBER 
AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN 
AND REMEMBER TEXT, DON'T CALL, 
AND PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR NAME. 
SO CAN YOU GET THIS VIRUS 
>>> AS YOU KNOW INFORMATION IS 
ALWAYS BEING UPDATED, AND THERE 
IS A LOT OUT THERE, AND IT CAN 
BE OVERWHELMING FOR A LOT OF 
PEOPLE. 
BUT FOR THOSE OF US HERE ON 11 
ALIVE PRIME TIME, WE WILL 
CONTINUE TO FIND  CONTEXT AND 
FACTS, NOT FEAR EVERY DAY FROM 
8-11, SO THE STATE DEPARTMENT 
IS TELLING AMERICANS TO AVOID 
ALL INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, TODAY 
IT RAISED ITS GLOBAL TRAVEL 
ADVISORY 4, IT'S MOST SEVERE 
LEVEL, AND FOR THOSE AMERICANS 
ALREADY ABROAD THEY ARE BEING 
URGED TO RETURN HOME 
IMMEDIATELY. 
LOCAL OFFICIALS ARE CLOSING 
FLORIDA BEACHES AFTER THE 
FLORIDA GOVERNOR REFUSED TO DO 
IT AND SPRING BREAKERS REFUSED 
TO STAY AWAY, MIAMI, FORT 
LAUDERDALE, TAMPA BAY AND FORT 
MYERS ARE SOME OF THE CITIES 
SHUTTING DOWN PUBLIC REACHES 
FOR THE NEXT WEEK OR LONGER. 
TV DOCTORS HELPING THE REAL 
ONES, MEDICAL SHOWS ARE 
DONATING MASKS AND GLOVES TO 
HOSPITALS TO HELP PROTECT 
HEALTHCARE WORKERS. 
SO THE BIG QUESTION OUT THERE, 
CAN YOU CATCH COVID-19 TWICE, 
IT'S A QUESTION MANY OF YOU 
HAVE BEEN ASKING AFTER 
CONFLICTING REPORTS OUT THERE. 
WE HAD OUR VERIFY TEAM STICK TO 
THE BOTTOM OF WHAT'S REALLY 
GOING ON HERE AND HERE'S JASON 
PUCKETT READ 
>> WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THE 
NUMBER OF TOTAL CASES, JOHNS 
HOPKINS SHOWS OVER 200,000 
CASES WORLDWIDE, NUMBER WE MAY 
NOT HEAR AS MUCH, HOW MANY 
PEOPLE HAVE RECOVERED. 
THE SAME DATABASE SHOWS ABOUT 
82,000 PEOPLE HAVE GOTTEN OVER 
THE CORONAVIRUS, THAT IS GOOD 
NEWS. 
BUT SOME HEADLINES HAVE MADE 
MANY SECOND-GUESS THOSE 
NUMBERS. 
HEADLINES LIKE THESE, NEWS 
REPORTS ABOUT PATIENTS 
RECOVERING FROM THE VIRUS AND 
THEN TESTING POSITIVE AGAIN. 
SO WE WANT TO VERIFY, CAN 
SOMEONE WHO HAS RECOVERED TEST 
POSITIVE FOR THE VIRUS AGAIN? 
TO ANSWER THAT WE WENT STRAIGHT 
TO THE WORLD HEALTH 
ORGANIZATION. 
THE AGENCY SAID IT HAS SEEN 
THESE REPORTS AND IT CONFIRMED 
THAT SOME PATIENTS ARE TESTING 
POSITIVE AFTER THEY CYNICALLY 
RECOVER. 
BUT THE AGENCY SAID THEY NEED 
MORE SAMPLES FROM RECOVERED 
PATIENTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW LONG 
THEY CAN ACTUALLY SHED THE 
VIRUS. 
THIS DOES NOT MEAN WE SHOULD 
PANIC AND ASSUME PEOPLE ARE 
GETTING THE VIRUS TWICE. 
IF WE STOP HERE WE MISS A LOT 
OF KEY CONTEXT. 
FIRST, THE NUMBERS ARE THE 
REPORT FROM CHINA ONLY ACCOUNTS 
FOR ABOUT .2% OF CASES 2/10 OF 
A PERCENT, SECOND, THESE 
REPORTS ARE MOSTLY COMING FROM 
NEWS ARTICLES, NOT SCIENTIFIC 
REPORTS. 
THEY DON'T GIVE REAL, RAW DATA, 
THAT MEANS THE RESEARCHERS HAVE 
TO GATHER THAT. 
THIRD, THE PATIENTS ARE NOT ALL 
GETTING SICK AGAIN, MOST ARE 
JUST TESTING POSITIVE AFTER 
GETTING OVER THE SYMPTOMS ARE 
TO RECAP WE CAN VERIFY 
ACCORDING TO THE WHO, YES, 
THERE ARE PATIENT TO TEST, 
CLINICALLY RECOVER AND THEN 
TEST POSITIVE AGAIN, BUT THEY 
DON'T HAVE A SOLID ANSWER AS TO 
WHY JUST YET. 
IT COULD BE THAT THEY ACTUALLY 
HAVE NOT FULLY COVERED OR IT 
COULD BE THE RESULT OF BAD 
TESTING. 
THE KEY, THIS IS A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE, LESS THAN 1% OF 
TOTAL RECOVERY CASES IN CHINA. 
>> THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE FLU AND 
COVID-19 COULD BE SIMILAR, BUT 
NOT TO MENTION IT IS ALLERGY 
SEASON. 
SO HERE'S A BREAKDOWN OF THE 
SYMPTOMS YOU NEED TO WATCH OUT 
FOR. 
THE SYMPTOMS FOR THE 
CORONAVIRUS ARE FEVER, COUGH 
AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH OR 
DIFFICULTY BREATHING. 
THOSE ATOMS WILL APPEAR TO TO 
14 DAYS AFTER SOMEONE IS 
EXPOSED. 
NOW WITH THE FLU YOU MIGHT ALSO 
EXPERIENCE FEVER AND A COUGH. 
WITH ALLERGIES YOU MIGHT BE 
SNEEZING, ITCHY AND RUNNY NOSE, 
OR RED AND WATERY EYES. 
THESE SYMPTOMS ARE IMPORTANT TO 
LOOK FOR IF YOU ARE TRYING TO 
FIGURE OUT IF YOU HAVE COVID-19 
OR SOMETHING ELSE. 
THERE IS NO DENYING THE 
ECONOMIC IMPACT FROM THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
ONE PART OF THAT IS MAJOR 
SPORTS LEAGUES SUSPENDING THEIR 
SEASONS. 
WHEN ALL THAT HAPPENED IT 
CREATED A TRICKLE-DOWN EFFECT 
INCLUDING PARKING LOTS AROUND 
MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM WHO WERE 
EXPECTING LARGE CROWDS THIS 
SPRING. 
NOW, NOT OWNERS MAY LOSE A LOT. 
>> ON A NORMAL GAME DAY THIS 
PARKING LOT IS ALMOST ALWAYS 
FULL. 
HER LOT, WHICH SHE'S BEEN 
RUNNING FOR YEARS IS JUST STEPS 
AWAY FROM MERCEDES-BENZ 
STADIUM. 
>> WE CHARGE LIKE $40 A CAR. 
SOMETIMES IT GOES PAST THAT, IT 
ALL DEPENDS ON THE EVENT. 
>> ONE BIG EVENT THAT WAS 
SCHEDULED WAS THE FINAL FOUR, 
BUT THE NCAA CANCELED THE 
TOURNAMENT BECAUSE OF THE 
CORONAVIRUS. 
IN ADDITION TO THAT AGE LIKE 
SOCCER HAS SUSPENDED PLAY AT 
LEAST UNTIL MAY 10. 
SO HEINZ IS LOSING REVENUE OF 
AT LEAST THREE GAMES PLUS THE 
FINAL FOUR AND NATIONAL 
CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES. 
SHE SAYS THAT SHE GENERATES 
CLOSE TO $4000 PER GAME. 
>> THE HUGE EVENTS FOR THE 
YEAR, WE WERE GOING TO MAKE A 
LOT. 
>> SO WHAT CAN SHE DO NOW? 
HER LOT IS EMPTY AND SHE'S NOT 
SURE WHEN IT WILL BE FULL 
AGAIN. 
BUT THE $2000 RENT FOR THE LOT 
IS DUE, AND SO ARE HER OTHER 
BILLS.>> IF I DON'T PAY MY RENT 
FOR NEXT MONTH I WILL BE PUT ON 
NOTICE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO 
DO. 
>> THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS 
APPROVED A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR 
STIMULUS PACKAGE AND MORE HELP 
COULD BE ON THE WAY.  
FOR RIGHT NOW, THAT IS NOT 
HELPING HINES . 
>> I WANT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT, I 
WANT TO HAVE A BUSINESS THAT IS 
RUNNING RIGHT. 
BUT I CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT 
PEOPLE COMING OUT. 
>> THE AMERICAN RED CROSS AND 
BLOOD BANKS ARE NOW PUTTING OUT 
AN URGENT CALL FOR DONORS. 
AS THE VIRUS SPREADS, AND 
BUSINESSES ARE SHUT DOWN, 
DONATIONS ARE DROPPING 
DANGEROUSLY IN SOME AREAS. 
BLOOD WORKS NORTHWEST SERVES 
OREGON AND WASHINGTON STATE. 
ONE OF THE STATES MOST IMPACTED 
BY THE CORONAVIRUS, INTENDED 
SOME 2500 DONATIONS WENT 
UNCOLLECTED BECAUSE OF THE 
CANCELED LIGHT DRIVE AND DONOR 
APPOINTMENTS. 
TODAY, THE U.S. SURGEON GENERAL 
SAYS IT'S VERY CONCERNING. 
>> I KNOW DONATED BLOOD IS AN 
ESSENTIAL PART OF CARING FOR 
PATIENTS, AND ONE DONATION CAN 
SAVE UP TO THREE LIVES. 
SOCIAL DISTANCING DOES NOT HAVE 
TO MEAN SOCIAL DISENGAGEMENT. 
SO GIVE BLOOD, TODAY. YOU WILL 
FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT, AND YOU 
WILL BE HELPING YOUR COUNTRY 
AND YOUR COMMUNITY DURING THIS 
CRISIS. 
YOU MIGHT EVEN SAVE A LIFE.>> 
ADAMS CONTINUES TO SAY 
FACILITIES ARE DOING EVERYTHING 
NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY 
OF DONORS INCLUDING STAYING SIX 
FEET APART, DISINFECTING AREAS 
BETWEEN PATIENTS AND 
TEMPERATURE CHECKING STAFF. 
>>> WITH SCHOOLS CLOSING AND 
COMMUNITIES CANCELING EVENTS, 
PARENTS MIGHT BE WONDERING HOW 
TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON TO 
YOUR CHILDREN. 
WE SPOKE WITH A LICENSED 
PROFESSIONAL COUNSELOR AND HE 
SAID THE NUMBER ONE RULE IS TO 
LISTEN TO YOUR CHILD FIRST. 
EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT AND 
AGE IS A HUGE ROLE IN THIS, SO 
HEARING WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY 
WILL HELP YOU SEE WHERE THEY 
ARE. 
YOU MIGHT START BY ASKING WHAT 
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS? 
THAT GIVES YOU AN OPPORTUNITY 
TO ADDRESS ANY MISINFORMATION 
OR CALM ANY FEARS THEY MAY 
HAVE. 
THEY ALSO SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO 
SHARE TOO MUCH INFORMATION AS 
PARENTS OR OTHER TRUSTED 
ADULTS, IT'S OUR JOB TO 
UNDERSTAND HOW WE ARE ACTUALLY 
PROCESSING EVERYTHING OURSELVES 
BEFORE WE SPEAK WITH OUR KIDS. 
IT'S ALSO ENCOURAGED TO ASK 
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THROUGHOUT 
THE CONVERSATION TO SEE HOW 
YOUR CHILD IS ACTUALLY 
PROCESSING WHAT YOU ARE SAYING, 
MAKE SURE YOU SPEAK TO THEM IN 
THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, ON THEIR 
OWN LEVEL.>>> STILL TO COME, 
DESPITE WARNINGS FROM HEALTH 
OFFICIALS, HUNDREDS OF YOUNG 
PEOPLE ARE SKIPPING ISOLATION 
AND HEADING TO THE BEACH. 
MY DOCTORS SAY THIS COULD MAKE 
THE PANDEMIC A WHOLE LOT WORSE. 
>>> GREAT DAY OUT THERE TODAY 
WITH DRY WEATHER CONDITIONS, 
BUT WE ARE TRACKING SOME STORMS 
OUT TO THE WEST THAT ARE 
CAUSING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND 
EVEN TORNADO WARNINGS, WE WILL 
LET YOU KNOW 
>>> WE WILL LET YOU KNOW, WE 
ALL NEED TO TAKE STEPS TO 
PROTECT OURSELVES AGAINST THE 
VIRUS, BUT WE MUST ESPECIALLY 
REMEMBER TO HELP THOSE MOST AT 
RISK. 
THAT INCLUDES THE ELDERLY AND 
THOSE WITH EXISTING MEDICAL 
CONDITIONS VARIED AT MAJOR 
RETAILERS ANNOUNCED STEPPING UP 
TO HELP PROTECT SOME OF THEIR 
MOST VULNERABLE SHOPPERS FROM 
EXPOSURE TO THE CORONAVIRUS. 
PUBLIX IS DESIGNATING TUESDAY 
AND WEDNESDAY MORNINGS FROM 
7:53 AM AS A SENIOR SHOPPING 
HOURS FOR ITS CUSTOMERS 65 AND 
OLDER. 
WALMART WILL ALSO HOST A WEEKLY 
HOUR LONG SHOPPING EVENT FOR 
SENIORS EVERY TUESDAY FOR 
PEOPLE 60 AND OLDER, AND IT 
WILL START AN HOUR BEFORE THE 
STORE ACTUALLY OPENS. 
WALMART ALSO ANNOUNCING THAT IT 
IS TRIMMING ITS HOURS, STORES 
WILL BE OPEN FROM 7 AM TO 8:30 
PM. 
DESPITE THE WARNINGS, THOUSANDS 
OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE CROWDING 
FLORIDA BEACHES. 
IT'S A DECISION THAT COULD 
ACTUALLY PUT A LOT MORE FOLKS 
IN DANGER.
>> Reporter: THIS MORNING'S 
SPRING BREAK GONE WILD. 
AT MIAMI BEACH, CROWDS OF YOUNG 
PEOPLE OUT IN FORCE DESPITE THE 
CORONAVIRUS THREAT. 
>> IF I GET CORONA, I GET 
CORONA. 
AT THE END OF THE DAY I WILL 
NOT LET IT STOP ME FROM 
PARTYING.>> AND IN CLEARWATER 
FLORIDA -- 
>> IT'S GOOD TO TAKE 
PRECAUTIONS, BUT IT'S A SPRING 
BREAK. 
>> IT'S VERY CONFUSING TO ME 
AND REALLY CONCERNING BECAUSE 
LIKE, OUR TOWN IS ALMOST LIKE A 
GHOST TOWN. 
EVERYTHING IS SHUT DOWN. 
AND HERE, IT'S LIKE HONESTLY 
NOTHING HAS CHANGED. 
>> FLORIDA'S GOVERNOR REFUSING 
TO CLOSE BEACHES INSTEAD 
REPEATING CDC GUIDELINES, AVOID 
GROUPS LARGER THAN 10. 
BEACHFRONT ESTABLISHMENTS ARE 
ALSO OPEN. 
>> IT'S AN EPIDEMIC BUT LIVING 
IN FEAR IS NO WAY TO LIVE. 
>> SOME BEACHES IN FLORIDA ARE 
SHUT DOWN BY ORDER OF LOCAL 
GOVERNMENT. 
>> WHY AREN'T WE CLOSING OUR 
BEACHES?>> ON WEDNESDAY 
CLEARWATER VOTED TO CLOSE ITS 
BEACHES, TOO. 
BUT THE CLOSURE, NOT IN EFFECT 
UNTIL NEXT MONDAY.>> HOW MANY 
OF US WILL GET SICK, HOW MANY 
WILL DIE? 
>> IT'S NOT JUST FLORIDA 
BEACHES PACKED WITH SPRING 
BREAKERS, HOTSPOTS IN TEXAS AND 
ALABAMA ARE ALSO BUSY. 
PRESIDENT TRUMP ISSUING THIS 
WARNING. 
>> WE DON'T WANT THEM 
GATHERING, AND I SEE THEY DO 
GATHER ON BEACHES AND IN 
RESTAURANTS, YOUNG PEOPLE. 
THEY DON'T REALIZE, THEY FEEL 
INVINCIBLE. 
>> THE CORONAVIRUS IS LEFT TO 
YOUR GENERATION. 
>> THEN LET US HANDLE IT THE 
WAY WE WANT TO. 
>> JUST A SHORT DISTANCE FROM 
THE BEACH, THOSE MOST AT RISK. 
DO YOU LIKE THE WAY WE ARE 
DOING THE INTERVIEW WITH THIS 
PROTECTION? 
>> 93-YEAR-OLD SHIRLEY TOLD ME 
HER GENERATION WOULD HAVE 
HEEDED THE WARNINGS. 
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE TODAY? 
>> THEY THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL, 
AND WE JUST LISTENED, THAT'S 
WHY I GOT TO BE 93. 
>> A LOT OF CONCERN IS ON THE 
HIGH RISK RESIDENTS, THE 
GOVERNMENT CONCERNING SHOWING 
CONCERNING REPORTS OUT THERE. 
RESEARCHERS LOOKED AT MORE THAN 
2400 CASES OF COVID-19 AND 
FOUND UP TO 1/5 OF PATIENTS 
HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED AND THEY 
WERE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 20 AND 
44, AND BETWEEN TWO AND 4% HAD 
TO BE ADMITTED TO THE ICU. 
HOWEVER, THE DEATH RATE AMONG 
THAT AGE GROUP IS STILL VERY 
LOW.>>> I'M IN CHRIS HOLCOMB 
FROM THE  11 ALIVE STORM 
TRACKER, I'M IN MY BASEMENT 
TONIGHT, WE ARE EXERCISING  
SOCIAL DISTANCING AND TESTING 
OUT THESE SHOTS TO MAKE SURE WE 
CAN BROADCAST FROM HOME. 
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU MIGHT 
HIT A LITTLE GLITCH BECAUSE I'M 
HERE BY MYSELF, I HAVE NO CREW 
WITH ME, I'M BROADCASTING LIVE 
TO YOU THROUGH MY TELEPHONE 
RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, AND WE 
ARE FEEDING IN THE GRAPHICS 
FROM THE STATION. 
SO IF THIS KIND OF BUGS OUT ON 
US AND FREEZES UP, STAY WITH US 
AND WE WILL COME RIGHT BACK. 
WE ARE DRY RIGHT NOW, WE ARE 
WATCHING SHOWERS AND STORMS OUT 
TO THE WEST. 
THIS SYSTEM IS EVENTUALLY GOING 
TO MAKE IT CLOSER TO US. 
I KNOW YOU SEE TORNADO WATCHES 
OUT TO THE WEST THINKING WE 
WILL HAVE SEVERE WEATHER, WE 
DON'T THINK IT WILL BE SEVERE 
ONCE IT MAKES IT INTO OUR AREA 
LATER TOMORROW WITH SHOWERS IN 
A COUPLE OF THUNDERSHOWERS 
POSSIBLE. 
WE MADE IT UP TO 81 TODAY, OUR 
LOW THIS MORNING WAS 59. 
WE SHOULD BE AROUND 66 FOR THE 
MIDDLE AND END OF MARCH, SO WE 
ARE WAY ABOVE AVERAGE, AND WE 
WERE ONLY 4 DEGREES AWAY FROM 
THE RECORD TODAY THAT WAS SET 
IN 1982 AT 85. 
A LOT OF FOLKS WERE OUT 
ENJOYING IT TODAY, GETTING SOME 
FRESH AIR. 
SPRING BEGINS TONIGHT, IT IS 
NOT HERE YET, EVEN THOUGH IT 
FELT LIKE IT, IT WILL ARRIVE 
TONIGHT AT 11:49, THAT'S WHEN 
THE SUN WILL MOVE DIRECTLY OVER 
THE EQUATOR. 
THIS IS MARCH 19, NORMALLY WE 
THINK OF SPRING BEGINNING ON 
THE 21st, SOMETIMES IT EXTENDS 
TO THE 22nd OR 23rd, SOMETIMES 
IT'S ON THE 20th, BUT IT'S 
REALLY ON THE 19th. 
THIS IS THE EARLIEST WE'VE HAD 
THE EQUINOX IN 124 YEARS SO 
CONSIDER YOURSELVES LUCKY THAT 
SPRING IS ARRIVING EARLIER. 
NOW, I'M FEELING IT, AND I KNOW 
MANY OF YOU ARE, THE POLLEN 
COUNT IS 108, I REALLY WAS 
THINKING IT WOULD BE A LOT 
HIGHER TODAY AND I THINK IT 
WILL BE A LOT HIGHER TOMORROW 
WITH THE DRY WEATHER AND WARM 
AIR WE HAD TODAY. 
AND THINKING WE WILL SEE POLLEN 
COUNTS MUCH HIGHER. 
IT'S PINE, OAK, BIRCH, SWEETGUM 
AND SYCAMORE TREES. 
SO TOMORROW, GOING WITH AN 
EIGHT, AND THAT WE WILL SEE 
SHOWERS DEVELOPING LATER IN THE 
AFTERNOON IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA 
AND MOVING INTO OUR AREA IN THE 
EVENING. 
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING POSSIBLE 
BUT WE DON'T THINK IT WILL BE 
SEVERE. 
HERE'S THE FORECAST TRACK 
TONIGHT WE ARE FINE, WATCH THE 
TIMELINE, I KNOW IT'S KIND OF 
WITCHY, BUT BY TOMORROW MORNING 
WE WILL STILL SEEMINGLY SUNNY 
SKIES, THEN AS WE GO THROUGH 
THE DAY, AT NOON TIME WE WILL 
SEE A FEW MORE CLOUDS AROUND, 
THEN WE ARE THINKING THE 
DAYTIME HOURS WILL BE DRY. 
BY 5:00 SOME SHOWERS AND A 
COUPLE OF THUNDERSHOWERS 
POSSIBLE IN NORTHWEST GEORGIA, 
THEN MORIN COMES IN DURING THE 
EVENING ON FRIDAY, PASSES 
THROUGH LATE FRIDAY INTO EARLY 
SATURDAY, THEN SATURDAYS RAIN 
CHANCE IS ONLY GOING TO BE AT 
ABOUT 20%. 
SO TOMORROW, SATURDAY SHOULD BE 
A PRETTY GOOD DAY, BACK TO A 
40% CHANCE OF SHOWERS FOR 
SUNDAY, THE 2% CHANCE OF 
WEDNESDAY WITH A 60 DEGREE 
TEMPERATURE AGAIN, 75 FOR 
WEDNESDAY AND BACK TO NEAR 80 
DEGREES BY THE END OF NEXT 
WEEK.>>> MYTHS ABOUT THE 
CORONAVIRUS ARE EVERYWHERE. 
THAT'S WHY THE VERIFY TEAM IS 
HERE TO SET RECORDS STRAIGHT 
AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. 
TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HAND 
DRYERS, BECAUSE TWO COMPLETELY 
DIFFERENT MYTHS HAVE POPPED UP 
AND BASICALLY THE OPPOSITE. 
ONE SAYS HAND DRYERS ARE 
KILLING THE CORONAVIRUS, THE 
OTHER SAYS THEY ARE SPREADING 
THE CORONAVIRUS. 
HERE ARE OUR SOURCES, A DOCTOR 
FROM JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY, 
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION 
AND CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL 
AND PREVENTION. 
SO CLAIM NUMBER ONE, CAN HAND 
DRYERS REALLY KILL THE VIRUS, 
OUR EXPERT SAYS NO. 
>> THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT 
AND DRYING REACHES ENOUGH 
TEMPERATURES OR THAT DRYING OUT 
THE VIRUS WILL PREVENT 
TRANSMISSION. 
>> THE WHO AGREES, THEY EVEN 
POSTED THIS TO A MYTHBUSTERS 
PAGE, HAND DRYERS ARE NOT 
EFFECTIVE IN KILLING THE VIRUS. 
SO WHAT ABOUT CLAIM NUMBER TWO? 
IF YOU LOOK ON SOCIAL MEDIA YOU 
WILL SEE TONS OF POSTS LIKE 
THIS, I BET THOSE HAND DRYERS 
ARE FULL OF THE CORONAVIRUS. 
LET'S VERIFY, WILL HAND DRYERS 
SPREAD THE VIRUS? 
THESE CLAIMS ARE NOTHING NEW. 
TWO YEARS AGO WE DID A STORY 
ABOUT THIS PRETTY HORRIFYING 
PHOTO THAT WAS SPREAD ON SOCIAL 
MEDIA THAT SHOWED A PETRI DISH 
LEFT UNDER THE HAND DRYER FOR 
JUST THREE MINUTES, BUT LOOKS 
CAN BE DECEIVING. 
THESE ARE ORGANISMS OFTEN 
REFERRED TO AS MICROBES HURRIED 
AND WHILE THEY LOOK SCARY, THEY 
ARE NOT NECESSARILY HARMFUL TO 
THE CDC WRITES "WE HAVE NO 
EVIDENCE THAT HAND DRYERS ARE 
SPREADING THE VIRUS.">> IT'S 
BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE LEAKS 
BEGAN SHUTTING DOWN AND 
SUSPENDING TODAY THE MLS BECAME

DATE THE MLS HAS TARGETED HIS

TEST POSITIVE AGAIN. 
THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLID ANSWER 
WHY JUST YET. 
IT COULD BE PEOPLE HADN'T 
RECOVERED OR IT COULD BE A 
RESULT OF BAD TESTING.

INVESTIGATING. 
THE KEY, THIS IS A SMALL 
PERCENTAGE. 
LESS THAN 1% OF TOTAL RECOVERED
