Cbs news confirmed the cdc will release guidelines later today on reopening churches which President Trump describes as essential. The president visited his third battleground state yesterday touring a ford plant in michigan. He was told to wear a mask and carried one. But he refused to wear it in front of the tv cameras. Ben tracy reports from the white house on that. Heres my mask right here. And i liked it very much. I actually, honestly, i think i look better in the mask. Reporter President Trump held a navy blue mask in his hand and explained his reason for not keeping it on. I did wear it. I had one on before. I wore one in this back area. But i didnt want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. Reporter the president was seen in this photo briefly wearing the mask. Ford sources tell cbs news that chairman bill ford expected President Trump to wear it the entire time for the strict policy of the plant and was surprised when he took it off. The states Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the president s decision not to wear a mask during the tour disappointing. This is really important that anyone with a platform has a responsibility to make sure that they model precisely what were asking everyone else to do. This is about public health, not one persons or another. Reporter the president has clashed with whitmer and his visit came just a day after he threatened to withhold federal funding from the state. Upset by michigans plans to expand vote by mail for upcoming elections. President trump claims without any evidence that mailin voting leads to widespread election fraud. With a second wave of coronavirus expected to hit this fall or winter, states are trying to plan for elections while also keeping people safe. But President Trump says if theres a second wave, he wont shut the country down again. Were going to put out the fires. There could be whether its an ember or a flame, were going to put it out, but were not closing our country. Reporter now michigans attorney general had warned President Trump that it was state law that he wear a mask inside that plant. President trump fired back on twitter overnight calling her a wacky donothing ag saying she should be careful or ford may leave michigan. Meanwhile, flags here at the white house and at all federal buildings across the country are flying at half staff in honor of those who have lost their lives to coronavirus. Anthony . Ben, thank you. Were getting a new warning about a rare inflammatory syndrome tied to the coronavirus in children. More than 330 cases have been reported, and at least four children have died. And now doctors say it could also affect young adults. Cbs news senior medical correspondent dr. Tara narula joins us. Good morning. To begin with, what are doctors learning about this new development . Well, anthony, by and large, we are still calling this syndrome a disease or syndrome that affects children and teenagers. The Case Definition by the cdc requires that an individual be less than the age of 21. Now thats not to say that we may not see sporadic cases or emerging cases in individuals over 21. Thats really a cutoff thats a little bit arbitrary in the sense that we know our biology and physiology doesnt change much between 21, 22 and 23 and 24. As we see some of these other cases emerging in an older population, the Case Definition may change. I think it just fits with what were seeing with this virus is that were learning more and more each day. And really what this does is adult cardiologists like myself and internists to be aware if they see somebody with some of these symptoms and signs to be on high alert. You may want to refer them and you may want to alert your health department. Remind folks what the symptoms are, tara. So primary symptoms will be fever, moderate or high fever that lasts for several days. Abdominal symptoms in children. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. A rash, bloodshot eyes and then worsening symptoms may be chest pain or shortness of breath or lethargy or confusion. All of those should prompt parents to pick up the phone, call their pediatrician and potentially take them to an emergency room if necessary. Ideally one that has a pediatric intensive care unit. All right, tara. Dr. Tara narula, thank you very much. Tony . Anthony, thank you.
