The crypt will be used as a staging agent. Its dean says cathedrals were often used this way during the plagues in the middle ages. For the third sunday in a row so many americas churches have been closed and its particularly hard this week, holy week leading up to easter. Not for one church in baton rouge, louisiana, where more than 1,200 people turned out for palm sunday services. The churchs pastor, tony spell, spoke business abcs linsey davis, telling her why he believes his congregants are safe. We screen everyone who comes through the door. We check their temperatures. We ask them a series of questions that has been given to us from the center of disease and control, i believe. So we disinfect our building on a daytoday basis because we operate seven days a week. So we would have to prove that people who have only left their homes and come to our church got the sickness here. We practice better social distancing in our sanctuary than is being practiced in the hundreds of stores that remain open in our city, which are mosh pits of violent people who are irate and fighting over rolls of toilet paper right now. A lot of churches have moved their Worship Services to online. So why wouldnt you do that . I mean, seems like something you could consider to do. That youre still able to get the word out about god. Well, we have we have livestreamed our services as well. And we have about 300,000 viewers in those services, from what i gather. However, we still assemble because the word of god commands us to in hebrews 10 25, timothy 3 15, psalm 33 18. Its not the same to sit behind a computer screen and worship as it is to go into a great congregation and feel the spirit of unity, one mind, one accord in one place. Our thanks to linsey there. Pastor spell is already facing misdemeanor charges for defying the governors stayathome orders. His lawyer says the charges are unconstitutional. Anyone gets sick, hell have to answer for it.

It started when katie finn asked her sister, a nurse treating coronavirus patients, one simple question. What can i do to help . As katie finn worked from home, her sister was going to work every day as an e. R. Nurse in one of new york citys hardhit hospitals. Treating coronavirus patients 14 hours a day with no break and no end in sight. Thats when katie decided she needed to help. I asked my sister, what can i do . She said, katie, can you make a ventilator . I said, no. She said, have you been hoarding n95 masks . I said, i have not. She said, can you buy lunch . I said, yes, that i can do. Reporter with that, katie cooked up an idea. I brought my sister and the nurses in her unit lunch. And they loved it. And i want to keep doing it. Reporter katie taking to facebook to ask for donations to help keep the gravy train rolling. Delicious lunch. It was such a treat. Cant begin to tell you how much these nurses appreciate this food. It is so rewarding to bring the food to them and see how excited they are and happy they are and really grateful they are for this food. Reporter in just one week, katie raised more than 10,000, delivering food to Emergency Rooms across the city. We fed 180 doctors and nurses today, im so excited about this. Reporter all the meals purchased from local restaurants that are struggling because of the pandemic. Youre also keeping Small Businesses alive. Were trying to keep people in business.

R. Staffs around the city, you guys. Shes making two deliveries tomorrow, so this thing is still going so strong. Theres nothing like a hot lunch, especially for those who are doing everything they can to save so many lives during this pandemic. Like she said, we cant build ventilators. But what we can do, if you know a nurse, a doctor, a medical professional, just ask them, hey, are you okay . How are you doing . Maybe they just need someone to talk to. Again, theyre seeing some pretty traumatic things, theyre overworked, overstressed. Even something as simple as that. Can we get that hot lunch jam back as we go to break .

There are signs that the number of coronavirus cases has started to stabilize, but the state is still in crisis. New york city planning for temporary mass burials. Plus the warning from the white house, getting back to the old normal may never happen. Also this morning the british Prime Minister now in the icu after battling the coronavirus for nearly two weeks. And the show of support for his pregnant fiancee who is also infected. New developments involving that Aircraft Carrier captain removed after he sounded the alarm about the virus aboard his ship. The head of the navy is apologizing for calling him stupid in a speech to the ships crew. The president said hes now getting involved. Good news for the easter bunny. At least one country has now declared him an essential worker during this pandemic. Mona, you know who else is essential . Who would that be . We are. Hey will the bunny get that critical designation here in the u. S. . Were going to hop to it on this tuesday, april 7th. You know, he might be essential, but im not going to compare myself to the easter bunny. I mean we cant. Big shoes to fill. Im not putting out any eggs for the kids. I know that much. But here in the u. S. , i hope he gets that. I hope so too. There are a lot of kids that are going to be bummed, easters such a big deal for a lot of people. Im sure a lot of families are going to have amazing ideas for kids when it comes to easter. We have to get to that blunt assessment from dr. Anthony fauci, getting back to normal may never happen. He says we will eventually get back to a Society Without social distancing. The coronavirus has claimed the lives of nearly 11,000 americans and 368,000 people have tested positive across the country. New overnight, a Top White House adviser warned Administration Officials in january that the virus could cost the country trillions of dollars and potentially kill 500,000 people. Thats according to a report in the new york times. At the time President Trump was downplaying the virus. On a positive note, louisiana is among several hot zones reporting a slight dip in the death rate, a sign that they may have started flattening the curve. The outbreak is not expected to peak in california until next month, so the state is sending 500 ventilators to the National Stockpile to help hardhit areas. Some of those ventilators will arrive in new york city where officials are considering temporary mass burials for those who died of covid19. The nypd has announced the death of another police officer. And nearly 20 of the department was out sick on monday. But 200 officers are now back on the job after recovering from the virus. Abcs tom llamas has more. Reporter a look inside the cavernous Javits Convention center in manhattan, now the largest hospital in the nation. Teams of military doctors taking in patients, checking temperatures, monitoring ventilators. But new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says even this will not be enough. Hes calling for the Navy Hospital ship the comfort to start accepting covid cases. There are only about 40 patients of any kind on the massive ship. Im going to call the president this afternoon and ask him to shift the comfort from noncovid to covid. Reporter in new york state, more than 4,700 have died from the coronavirus. Its very hard to see the number of deaths were having. Its frightening. Its disturbing. That amount of loss. Reporter still, a glimmer of hope. The death rate here may be slowing. The rigorous social distancing possibly paying off. The governor saying new york is nearing the apex and the curve may be flattening. Total number of hospitalizations are down. The icu admissions are down. And the daily intubations are down. Those are all good signs. Reporter but cuomo also warning we get reckless, we change or were not compliant on social distancing, you will see those numbers go up again. Reporter but even so, hospitals here are overwhelmed. Pushed to capacity and beyond. Pretty much the entire Emergency Departments a hot zone at this point. Reporter dr. John marshall took abc news inside maimonides hospital in brooklyn. I s one of t hltcare workers as fart on the front lines, nurse mintz. Her workday starts at 5 00 a.

Reporter abcs Stephanie Ramos out with emts in teaneck, new jersey, working around the clock. This crew just picked up a person who has tested positive for covid19. They tell me that person is having some trouble breathing right now. Theyre taking him to the hospital. They say they respond to calls like this every couple of minutes throughout the day. Reporter President Trump approving Governor Cuomos request that the comfort treat covid19 patients. We have to remember thats 1,000 extra hospital beds that can treat patients in new york. The president saying patients from new jersey will also be brought in. Reporting from borough park, brooklyn, tom llamas, abc news, new york. Tom, thank you. The Coronavirus Task force as some states report progress in the battle against the pandemic. The team is encouraged that certain hot spots were starting to slow the spread by following social distancing guidelines. But theyre urging americans to continue to stay at home because the outbreak is far from over. It is our hope that what we have seen begin in the Greater New York area and even in louisiana and elsewhere will become a trend. But it only becomes a trend if every one of us continues to take ownership and continues to do our part for this 30 days to slow the spread. So we just got to realize that this is an indication, despite all the suffering and the death that has occurred, that what we have been doing has been working. So the call that i say every time i get to this podium is, just keep it up. Because this is going to get us out t. Recent models show as many as 240,000 people could die even if americans adhere to the guidelines. But the head of the cdc now says he expects the actual death toll to be much, much lower than those projections. And President Trump says the u. S. Is offering help to british doctors treating Prime MinisterBoris Johnson. He was moved into a London Hospitals intensive care unit monday as his virus symptoms worsened. Johnson tapped his foreign secretary to stand in for him if needed. Officials say johnsons move to the icu was precautionary in case he needed to be put on a ventilator. Johnson fiancee Carrie Symonds is receiving an outpouring of compassion. The 32yearold is about seven months pregnant, expecting the couples first child. She says shes on mend after also battling the virus. Plenty of twitter users are posting thoughts and prayers for symonds. One woman saying she hopes symonds has someones hand to hold. Breaking overnight, wisconsins primary will be held today as scheduled with inperson voting. The States Supreme Court said the governor did not have the authority to delay the primary until june. The u. S. Supreme court ruled against a oneweek extension for absentee ballots. Those must be postmarked today. That means voters who have not yet obtained the mail ballots will have to to show up at polling places or not vote. New zealand is on coronavirus lockdown but the easter bunny is still on the job. At least according to Prime Minister jacinda ardern. Yesterday she assured the nations children that peter cottontail is an essential worker. Ardern did caution that it might be difficult for him to get everywhere in the current situation. The Prime Minister also gave essential status to the tooth fairy. Oh, okay, the tooth fairy as well. The easter bunny, again, i said here in the u. S. , come to play, and will also adhere to social distancing guidelines. I think so. Dont be surprised when you see the easter bunny wearing a mask. Also wearing gloves. Keeping a sixfeet distance. A meme of the kid who saw the easter bunny and freaked out in the costume . We do not want that to happen. Do we have an easter bunny here at world news now . Like wheres our easter bunny . Six feet away from us. Essential personnel there. Im sure there are going to be a lot of Creative Things families are going to do. One suggestion new zealand put out there, put easter eggs in the windowsill. So obviously those parade of cars, the kids can be outside, can spot at certain houses. That would be fun. That is one thing that weve noticed during this quarantine is people are really creative. They are. We saw the Virtual Birthday parties. I wouldnt be surprised to see a virtual Easter Egg Hunt either. One guys quarantine gym made entirely out of logs. Plus Prime MinisterBoris JohnsonsCoronavirus Infection now landing him in the icu. Why one doctor says it should be a warning to President Trump. First the new development in the firing of the Navy Commander amid a coronavirus outbreak on his ship. What trump is now saying about that commander. Did you know prilosec otc can stop frequent heartburn before it begins . Heartburn happens when stomach acid refluxes into the esophagus. Prilosec otc uses a unique delayedrelease formula that helps it pass through the tough stomach acid. It then works to turn down acid production, blocking heartburn at the source. With just one pill a day, you get 24hour heartburn protection. Prilosec otc. One pill a day, 24 hours, zero heartburn. President trump welcome back. President trump said he had a wonderful call with former Vice President joe biden, his likely 2020 ri welcome back. President trump said he had a wonderful call with former Vice President joe biden, his likely 2020 rival in november. Bidens Campaign Said the 15minute call was a good one. Trump said biden shared some suggestions about what the administration could do in the battle against coronavirus but that doesnt mean he agrees with biden. And new overnight, the head of the navy apologizes for harsh comments aimed at a fired commander. Acting Navy Secretary thomas modly blasted captain Brett Crozier telling sailors the commander was either too naive or too stupid to lead them. Hours later modly apologized calling crozier smart and passionate. Meantime, President Trump has vowed to get involved in the firestorm. Heres abcs martha raddatz. Reporter these are the videos posted by sailors from the roosevelt just days ago, cheering in support of their departing captain, Brett Crozier, a scene causing a major embarrassment for the navy. The acting Navy Secretary who fired crozier flying to guam to address those same sailors. Thomas modlys sometimes profane speech over the ships public address system was recorded in one of the rooms and shared with a militaryfocused task and purpose. Modly belittling the captain. If he didnt think that information was going to get out into the public he was either too naive or too stupid to be the commanding supervisor of a ship like this. What the reporter you hear voices on the tape sounding disgusted with the accusations, although he would not have heard them at the time. It was betrayal. I can tell you one other thing. Because he did that, he put it in the publics forum. And its now become a big controversy. So think about that. When you cheer the man off the ship. I did. Who exposed you to that. Reporter modly said his comments were heartfelt, but that allvolunteer force aboard that ship is sure to remember one more line from the secretary, you are under no obligation to like your job, only do it. President trump has been critical of captain crozier for writing that letter as well, but he said hes going to look into all of it. So the letter shouldnt have been sent. With all of that said, his career prior to that was very good. So im going to get involved and see exactly whats going on there. Because i dont want to destroy somebody for having a bad day. Reporter martha raddatz, abc news, washington. Our thanks to martha there. During this outbreak, volunteer emts are stepping up more than ever to save lives. Abc news went to hardhit teaneck, new jersey, got an upclose look at the challenges some volunteer squads face.

As we mentioned, british Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons covid19 infection has apparently worsened, land be him in the icu. Earlier i spoke with dr. Imran ali. About johnson, as well as whether President Trump should be taking extra precautions, dr. Ali, thank you for joining us. The big headline across the globe, uk Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is in the icu, announced he tested positive 11 days ago. 55 years old. We saw him just a few days ago. His condition worsened. Consistent high temperature. His office said yesterday hes still conscious. Of course youre not his doctor, but what do these things tell us about progression here . It tells us the virus doesnt discriminate against anybody. This guy is fairly healthy, a nonsmoker, physically active. I mean, he loves to run and exercise. The only thing that i can imagine that is against his favor is hes a little bit overweight, but not so much so. Johnson the first leader of a major power to announce he had contracted the virus. We expect he has topoftheline medical care. Is there a cautionary tale for the leaders in the u. S. , including President Trump . The Vice President and president may need to keep more distance from each other than they are right now, because just in the off chance that the president himself, god forbid, becomes incapacitated, we need to have an option to have somebody in charge of the government. And i know right now they have deputized one of the cabinet members to take more control of the daytoday government activities in the united kingdom, but its very important with any kind of Infectious Disease that you have to plan hope for the best but plan for the worst. Its all about planning ahead. Dr. Ali, were starting to see reports of a surge of black people and other minorities suffer from covid19 and at a disproportionate rate. In michigan, black people, 14 of the population, 41 of the deaths. Whats happening . Well, theres a lot of variables here. We have to remember also that social distancing could play a role. Like for example, louisiana, we do see that there is a lot of cases there because we had the mass gathering at mardi gras. Also in georgia we also had funerals where a lot of people gathered together. And thats very important. You know, in any outbreak, social distancing is so important. If you look back to 2014 in liberia, how the Ebola Outbreak exploded, it was due to one funeral that actually caused a rise in the cases in that epidemic. So it is reasonable to think that that may have played a role here. But also i have to say that in the Africanamerican Community and the minority community, just as a doctor who ive seen these patients all the time, we have higher rates of preexisting conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. And also we need to talk about access to preventive care. A lot of these minorities dont have access to preventive care, leaving them more vulnerable to any kind of illness, let alone an infectious illness. Great points by dr. Ali. We thank you so much. Again, this virus does not discriminate. People need to practice social distancing. And remember, churches, funerals, all those things could have an impact on you and your health when it comes to fighting this virus. I wish he mentioned also inund ss. He mentioned access to preventative care, but access to health care in general. Youre right. Its not a surprise that some communities are seeing a certain spike. Isnt these days this is my favorite time. Time for the mix. Because we get a dose of great these days this is my favorite time. Time for the mix. Because we get a dose of great stories. And this one has a lot to do with people getting creative. We mentioned earlier that quarantine has brought out the creativity in a lot of people. This man is Zachary Skidmore from ohio. His gym closed so he grabbed a saw and decided he was going to create his own prehistoriclooking gym. Wait. Out of logs. Those are logs . Those are logs. He has leg press, shoulder press, dumbbells, all the above, everything he needs. I dont think you can do that in new york city but its good to see that hes doing it in ohio. I swear, it actually looks like those people that share memes that say, whats your excuse for not going to the gym . That is very true. Were lazy, okay . Thats why. Let me walk over to central park and get to chopping. Ouiny edo watch out e hand blisters. Sinosh. Ohio, how about this colorado dad . I love i dont like the pandemic but i do like seeing inside homes and how creative yall do get. We saw this log guy. We got this colorado dad who said, i got a lot of work to do and i got three kids. So he built a carousel. Using the ceiling fan. Oh, stop. He tied up the sheets, tied up the kids, and they got the stuffed animals. They are loving it. This is not child abuse, this is child creativity. Because you got work to do, youre working from home. Can you imagine when his wife turns the corner and hes like, what . Whatever you got to do. Its on a low setting. Dont turn it on high dont threaten them and turn it on high, you dont want to do that. A whole different carnival ride then. All right, so speaking of getting creative, people are using some skills they already have. The Guinness World record holder for i guess biggest hula hooper if that even makes sense to you, she decided she was going to put a little social distancing spin on it. So here she is, her name is getty. Getty decided to grab her big hula hoop. Thats a big hula hoop. And go round and round and round. Oh, my, i would have i cant do a regular hoop. Would have been so dizzy. Also, can you imagine happening in your neighborhood . This woman crazy. What she doing . Shes making the kid back up too . Oh, hes got a hula hoop as well, oh, get it, kid.

That is why our state is responding at every level of government to slow the spread of covid19, while ensuring our most vulnerable californians have what they need. But we can each do our part. And it starts by staying home. I know this is a big sacrifice for so many, but staying home saves lives. Learn more at covid19. Ca. Gov. Bubbles at this price . Is this for real . Oh. Its real.
