Look around to the ground and the sky is a hazy shade of winter the ground the ground and the sky is a hazy shade of winter hang on to your health my friend no matter where you are theres no doubt about it, we are still in the throes of winter. But this week is already kicking off spring break for millions of children. But it comes as we are hearing about a second wave of the flu marching across the nation. And this morning abcs gio benitez shows us how to stay healthy while hitting those planes, trains, and buses. Reporter as more than 75 million americans are expected to travel this month by air alone, dr. Nick testa, chief medical officer at Dignity Health in los angeles, reminds us on this fake plane how to stay healthy when taking to the skies. On an airplane, you have almost a 100time increase for contracting respiratory illness. Reporter think about this, a plane flying a typical new york to washington, d. C. Route makes about five flights per day. So that means at least four strangers are touching your table tray, shade, armrests, and air vent. According to one study, a tray table has 12 times more bacteria, harmful or not, per inch, than your toilet seat at home. So if we bring a wipe, wipe it down, clean off the tray table. Reporter air on board is circulated from ceiling to floor, filtered every two minutes. If a flu carrier sneezes, watch this simulation upon for popular science. Those passengers, because of the air flow to the sides and behind the sides, are most at risk. But its not just planes. When it comes to buses you probably dont even realize how many things youre touching when you get on the bus. You present your fare, you touch that. You touch these steel bars. Youre going to grab onto these straps. When you sit down, youll touch the steel again. And of course you will pull that cable to request a stop. And dr. Testa says, move to the back if there are less people there. Staying close to that exit door where air circulates. The reason is, the way we get sick is because were crowded together, rebreathing each others air. Reporter he says seat selection can sometimes help protect you, and on trains too. If you sit in the window seat, you decrease your chances for getting sick because there are less people walking by you. Reporter how far can germs really travel . If you were to sneeze right now what would happen . I can create a cloud of virus around me that extends 12 feet. Thats the people in front of me, the people behind me, and eye, the person next to me. And even the people on the other side. Absolutely. Reporter thats why dr. Testa says, cut the small talk. Even by speaking, they might expose you . Correct, by speaking you can introduce virus into the air. Decrease the small talk when setting next to anyone on the train. Our thanks to gio for that. Do we thank him . I cant talk to anyone, i cant touch anything, i cant go anywhere. Sit near windows. I cant do anything. I know. Im going to get sick. Germophobe here. Im like i actually have a wet nap already over here. Lets wipe everything down, its flu season. Ive been trying real hard, dont get sick, dont get sick.

Newman was in the lead, nearing the finish line, when his car spun and hit the wall headon. It went airborne and collided with the car of corey lajoie. When the car stopped sliding on its roof, crews rushed to put the flames. Spectators stunned. Sports anchor joe kepner from our orlando station wftv right there. It was easy to see the wreck because it happened directly in front of us where we were standing in victory lane. But it was difficult to see after that because of how far the car slid after that. We know ryan newman, they had to cut the roof off his car to get him out. Reporter emts rushed the 42yearold to the hospital. A vehicle a mangled mess as it was later hauled off the track.

In a statement nascar says newman is in serious condition but amazingly doctors have indicated that those injuries are nonlifethreatening. Overnight we saw video of fans outside the hospital in Daytona Beach celebrating that news. That video is so difficult to see. And you talk about fans and fellow drivers also weighing in. And theyre saying that a wreck like this is never good to see, but like you said, hes going to be okay. Hes going to be okay. Some racing fans, also theres a little fallout from this, because the winner, mr. Hamlin there, he celebrated, doing doughnuts, which is what the winner typically does after winning a big race like daytona 500. He was getting some pushback. He was under fire for that by the fans. So he put out a tweet last night saying, first and foremost i want to give well wishes and prayers to ryan newman. I had absolutely no idea of the severity of the crash until i got to victory lane. Theres very little communication after the finish and i had already unhooked my radio. Its not anyones fault. And he gave a shoutout to rocket there, because mr. Newman there, known as rocket man. Obviously a little fallout from that, but the good news this morning, nonlifethreatening injuries, hes recovering in the hospital. Absolutely.

For decades, a painting in allentown, pennsylvania, hung on a wall credited to the studio of rembrandt, close to the legendary dutch painter but for all intents and purposes considered a knockoff, that is, until it was taken down for a cleaning and a closer look. An undiscovered piece of art history hidden in plain sight. A revelation like this takes a little more than lemons and a blow dryer. For decades this painting hanging in the Allentown Art Museum entitled portrait of a young woman was thought to be the creation of someone who studied under legendary dutch painter rembrandt van rijn. But all that changed when the 400yearold portrait was sent to nyu for cleaning and conservation. The state that it arrived in our studio, it was completely obscured by a very thick varnish that had degraded over the centuries. It was very difficult to evaluate it properly. Reporter the conservators painstakingly removing layer after layer of varnish and overpaint. The young woman getting brighter and clearer. Sean and her team using 21st Century Technology like infrared technology on the 1632 painting. With better technology, we were able to obtain an xray that showed brushwork and a liveliness to that brushwork that is quite consistent with other works by rembrandt. Reporter eventually uncovering rembrandts signature. The team finally able to say it wasnt a student of rembrandts who had painted a portrait of a young woman but the master artist itself. Its not every day that youre told you have a rembrandt in your collection. Its a reversal were thrilled about. Reporter with good reason. A rembrandt sold at auction for 33 million back in 2009. And this isnt the first time a painting turned out to be much more than what it appeared. This painting was hanging over the stove in a frenchwomans kitchen when it was discovered to be an original by renaissance master cimabue which raked in 26 million at auction. Color me impressed. Although the newly discovered rembrandt could also bring in some big bucks of its own, the Allentown Art Museum wants to share art history of its own. The portrait of a young woman is currently in their vault and will go on public display for everyone to see starting in june. A big shoutout to the Allentown Art Museum, lehigh valley.
