>> all the action and mishaps as fans flock back to the stands. good morning, america. as we head into this holiday weekend, great to be with you everybody. >> good to have you here, yes, welcome. >> thanks. >> we've been here all week. >> talking about it at the top of the show. it landed in your lap. >> take a look at this, folks. miguel cabrera. he takes a whack at that ball. it is on its way out. it's gone but guess what, because of the snow he didn't know it. he couldn't tell that he had hit a home run so he went sliding into second. but it was that kind of day yesterday. weather caused all kinds of havoc. >> good day for him. great to see fans back in the stands but the crowds were smaller than normal because of covid restrictions and positive test for players that postponed

the mets and nationals game, this comes as the race to vaccinate is ramping up america closing in on 100 million people with at least one dose. >> as we head into the holiday weekend with half the country seeing alarming surges in cases and now those concerns variants continuing to spread and erielle reshef joins us from the javits center. a mass vaccination site. good morning, erielle. >> reporter: good morning, cecilia. the cdc is working on new travel guidelines but ahead of their release americans are planning to gather and travel ahead of the holiday weekend and experts are concerned as cases continue to rise. as families from coast to coast prepare to celebrate the easter holiday weekend concerns over the spread of covid-19. cases are up 17% in the last two weeks. officials warning large gatherings this weekend could lead to more infections. in massachusetts, this church canceling their in-person easter services after staff members

tested positive. this, as the race to vaccinate across the country, ramps up. hospital admissions climbing in 20 states, the u.s. averaging about 5,000 new covid hospitalizations per day. and in michigan, the first confirmed case of the brazilian variant as cases of the uk variant are surging. beaumont health expanding covid units after the number of patients quadrupled. >> 30 to 50-year-olds who have not been able to get vaccinated yet are more at risk and we're seeing them in the hospital. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci telling abc affiliate wxyz the state may have opened too soon. >> the idea of pulling back prematurely under pressure, it's understandable why you might want to do that but the results are being manifested in what you're seeing in michigan. >> reporter: that brazilian variant found in at least 23 u.s. states, but this morning more evidence of the power of

vaccines. pfizer reporting its vaccine was 91% protective against symptomatic disease and 95% protective against severe disease six months after the second dose. the pfizer vaccine also appears to work against the worrisome south african variant. >> one of the concerns is that some of the vaccine derived immunity may be less effective against these p1 variants, although that is still very much an open question. >> reporter: the fda authorized two over-the-counter rapid covid-19 tests that could soon be available in your local pharmacy. george, experts are calling this a key asset in stopping the spread. >> thank you, erielle. let's bring in dr. ashish jha. welcome back, dr. jha, this morning. this weekend is easter sunday. many want to get together for the holidays. what is your message on this holiday weekend? >> good morning, george. thanks for having me on. my message is clear, if you've been vaccinated, it's pretty

safe to do that. if you've not, this is probably the last holiday where it won't be safe for unvaccinated people to mingle together. we're so close to the finish line. i just want people to hold off just a little longer. i know that's hard with easter and passover. >> it certainly is hard. today we're seeing new cdc travel guidelines. what makes sense right now? >> yeah, right now we are seeing a surge of cases across the country about two-thirds of states are seeing it so what i've been asking people is to do is as little as possible and hold off until the end of the month where i think we'll be in better shape. if you need to travel and you've been vaccinated, i think that's pretty reasonable. but i would cut out unnecessary travel and i would hold off if you've not been vaccinated. >> let's talk more about the vaccines. the latest clinical trials, we just showed the results right there, but what do we know about how long the protection from the

vaccines is going to last? >> we're still sorting it out. we don't have all the answers. my best guess is the vaccines are going to last a while. certainly going to last at least a year but they may last several years. we don't know, but the pfizer data just gives us more confidence it is not a short-term vaccine. it's going to offer at least medium to long-term protection. >> and what do we know about whether these vaccines actually protect people and prevent them from transmitting the disease and not just getting sick? >> the data is becoming clearer and clearer every single day. we saw new data from cdc. these vaccines clearly cut transmission. maybe not quite 100%, very little is 100%, but this is going to cut your transmission risk by 80% to 90% and make a huge difference in preventing you if you've been vaccinated from spreading the disease. >> these vaccines are just terrific. they are helping people but we have to hold off a little longer until everyone gets one. >> absolutely. they are so much better than what i was expecting last summer and fall.

i was hoping we'd have a vaccine that would have 60%, 70% and maybe cut transmission. these have been really, really terrific. it will make a huge difference once people get vaccinated. >> dr. jha, thanks for your time and information this morning. t.j.? it was another powerful day of testimony. day four in the derek chauvin trial. george floyd's girlfriend painting the most complete picture yet of him and opening up about both of their struggles with opioid addiction. alex perez is outside the courthouse in minneapolis. day five of the trial will get under way in a bit. alex, good morning. >> reporter: hey, good morning, t.j. the prosecution had a clear focus, calling witnesses to the stand who could prove george floyd died on the scene and that the officers didn't try to help him. thursday floyd's emotional girlfriend courteney ross taking the stand. telling the jury how the couple met in 2017 in the lobby of the salvation army where floyd was a security guard. >> he's like, sis, you okay, sis? and i wasn't okay.

wouldn't go in the back of the squad. >> reporter: the supervisor he was talking to, retired sergeant david pleoger said he should have stopped restraining floyd sooner. >> when mr. floyd was no longer offering up any resistance to the officers they could have ended their restraint. >> that was after he was handcuffed and on the ground and no longer resisting? >> correct. >> reporter: and only a half day in court today. we expect the prosecution could soon call the minneapolis police chief to testify. t.j.? >> all right, alex, thank you so much. day five of the derek chauvin trial set to get under way 10:15 eastern time. you can watch our streaming channel abc news live for full coverage. coming up our exclusive and emotional interview with the first witness in the trial to speak publicly revealing his regrets and his message now for derek chauvin. that is in our next half hour. we're going to turn now to those new details in the california mass shooting that left four people dead, including a 9-year-old boy.

wanted to donate about a bottle's worth of her breast milk to courtney. >> i know that the mother was also, you know aware that the science wasn't fully behind it yet but needed some peace of mind and if a few bags of milk can give someone peace of mind i'm happy to give it. >> reporter: there are small but promising studies that show vaccinated women can pass along covid-19 antibodies to their babies in utero and through their breast milk but so far there's no studies that show donated breast milk can do the same with medical experts calling for more research to understand what levels of protection if any can be passed on. the fda warns about the potential dangers of milk sharing from individuals or an online source including exposure to infectious diseases including hiv, some illegal drugs and prescription drugs and find a milk bank which can be safer. >> we test their blood and not only screen them for infectious diseases and pasteurize the milk in a way to pro-eave the immunological property. >> for "good morning america," mona kosar abdi, abc news, new york. >> all right, this one certainly

has a lot of questions. going to have people talking. let's bring in the one and only dr. jennifer ashton to help break all this down. we heard in the piece that the science sort of seems questionable. what is the science on this about antibodies in breast milk? >> cecelia, we should think about this as right intention, wrong execution at this point. i want to be crystal clear. there is no evidence that at this point that covid antibodies can be passed along through donated breast milk. there is some limited evidence that there can be in utero protection from a woman who's been vaccinated or naturally infected and if you look at the data for kids in general, 18 years of age and younger account for a really small percentage of clinical infections. under 2%. we do also think there are higher rates of spread in older kids age 10 to 19 so we have to stick with the data. >> and are there risks, a lot will want to know, in sharing breast milk between people?

>> oh, 100%. if this is not coming from a screened milk bank as we just heard there are big-time risks. this is a bodily fluid and can transmit major infectious diseases, other medications and drug metabolites. remember, cecelia, this is not victorian england here. we don't need to do black market milk sharing to keep babies alive so right now risks definitely outweigh any potential benefits. >> what other options might parents have out there? >> well, for women, pregnant women they can vaccinate their babies and, again, weaver to underscore big picture view here. breast milk is best overall for a baby up to 12 months of age and big-time benefits for the mom as well. >> good information as always, dr. ashton, thanks so much. t.j.? we want to turn to the menendez brothers at the center of that notorious '90s murder trial behind bars for life but now finding new fame on social media thanks to tiktok stars who are calling for the brothers to be set free. abc's diane macedo with the story.

to me. raw, authentic, i believed it. >> these kids have a lot of power to shape the cultural narrative. you know, things start trending and before you know it you have millions of people that aren't even on tiktok paying attention to this case again. >> they said they did it because they had been sexually abused. the question in the trial, if you believe that they were sexually abused does that lessen their responsibility for murder? >> reporter: both have spent the last 31 years behind bars. now in a new interview lyle is speaking out. >> you cannot escape those memories. those ghosts that never leave you, they always haunt you. you know, the part of me says i need to get past my childhood no matter how painful it is, it is just part of the fabric of who i am. >> reporter: and tonight on "20/20" we'll take a look at the case like never before with more of that interview with lyle menendez but home movies and details from the brothers' friends, neighbors, detectives, even jurors and still 30 years later, the big question was this

>> adam was totally erratic. if you tell a 30-something male that he's jesus christ, he's inclined to believe you. >> we have to ask the simple questions. what is this business? how will it make money and i think if the managers of a company can't answer those basic questions we should be wary of plowing billions of dollars into them. >> reporter: and what this story really captures is how euphoria and hysteria and that cult of personality helped drive wework to billions of dollars in value, how it all came crashing down overnight like so many start-up stories that we've seen of late, again, the documentary is called "wework or the making and breaking of a $47 billion unicorn" streaming now on hulu. a great weekend watch. >> sure sounds like it, rebecca, thanks. we'll be right back.

that's the case? >> well, once it came to screen test i had a pretty good idea of who it was. but i remember meeting the ruse co-brothers back in the day, almost like a decade ago. and i guessed and they kind of confirmed it but, yeah, they're very secretive at marvel which makes a lot of sense but definitely interesting. >> well, we don't want to spill any secrets but we'll give everybody a little bit of an exclusive first look at tonight's episode. "the falcon and the winter soldier" and they're asking for your help so let's take a look. >> you don't have the avengers to back me up. >> don't blow that speak at me. i was on the run too. >> i don't speak to my family anymore. i can't. my own father doesn't know where i am. >> listen, sharon, we need your help. please.

>> this isn't over. >> all right. all right. now we've had anthony mackey and sebastian stan both on the show and we see an obvious bromance going on. when you see this, do you go, oh, that's heartwarming or are you like, guy, give me a break? >> at this point probably a combination. i love those guys so much. i love their dynamic. i think they're so funny, so much fun to work with. and, you know, you got a glimpse of these guys and their thing together in "civil war" so to see it come to life over six hours is just awewesome and i think they do such a tremendous job. >> time for a little flashback friday. it is the anniversary of your hit show "revenge." ten years later, what would your character be up to? >> oh, hopefully still in a peaceful, happy place. and ended on such a great note.

i would be delighted if she was still, you know, happily ever after with jack. i can't believe it's been ten years. >> and you happily ever after. you met your husband on "revenge." i'm told you married him twice, there's one and then the real one. >> the first one didn't work out so well. i think in the first one he shot me so that was not -- that wasn't a good start. luckily our happily ever after is much nicer. >> congratulations on everything. look, it's been fun to watch you and can watch your career over the years and a lot of people have. we finally see you in the hit show that's breaking streaming records. new episode of "the falcon and the winter soldier" drop every friday. emily, so good to see you. >> good to see you. thank you. >> bye. coming up, one of the heroes behind the covid vaccine will join us live. stay here on "gma." ♪ nothing

welcome back to "gma." back with a woman who is history and a hero. dr. kizzmekia corbett, one of the scientists who played a key role in developing the moderna coronavirus vaccine at the national institute of health vaccine research center. there she is. doctor, thank you so much. i'm saying you thank you because that vaccine, you developed, in my arm. so thank you. >> well, thank you for getting vaccinated. >> absolutely. i will. do you think we're doing better?

that was a big concern and seeing still some hesitancy in particular with the african-american community and getting the vaccines. there is a big push of yours. is it getting better that hesitancy going away a little bit? >> well, you know what, t.j., i like to change the narrative a little bit and instead of calling it hesitancy, i call it vaccine inquisitiveness. it is getting better. people have questions but they are seeking answers in the right place and we are seeing high turnout with getting the vaccine and all hopeful. >> that is a good -- i'll start using that. no more hesitancy. i'll follow your lead. your part now, you are putting the moderna vaccine through trials against the south african variant. is that what you're seeing -- i don't know what you're seeing so far but are you hopeful of the news that will come out of that. >> we are absolutely hopeful. it is all part of pandemic preparedness, the same way we did this very quickly in the onset of the pandemic last year. when we see variants and they

are becoming a concern, we certainly want to be able to test that in humans and animals. doing them in collaboration with moderna and the nih and hopeful for the outcome as we've seen the efficacy for the variants in vials across the globe. >> how long are these vaccines going to last? we got good news from pfizer maybe six months give you protection. continued to be studied. moderna, pfizer, johnson & johnson, what do you expect? how long will he have you covered if you will? >> time will tell but tell you that pfizer data is certainly promising, particularly around the mrna vaccine candidates. we are about a year plus into the phase 1 clinical trials and so we have had peaks at the antibodies responses and aren't concerned yet and excited about getting the vaccine into as many arms as possible. >> this is your work. this is what you do but we were in a much different place a year ago.

tell me, dr. corbett, how are you doing? what's it been like to watch us get to this point now where we still talk about that light at the end of the tunnel and finally not a train coming at us, what is it like to sit here now? look, i know you're not going to toot your own horn. we will toot it for you, but you are absolutely part of the group responsible for right now saving the world. just what's it like for you to see where we are now? >> well, you know, i'm honored actually to be able to watch it both from the inside and as i've been vaccinating now am a little bit at peace, i am also very honored to watch it from the outside to be able to see this vaccine go into arms that us, that we developed with the team at nih, i'm proud of this moment and hopeful for the outcome. you're right. the light at the end of the tunnel is shining ever so bright. >> have you done anything for yourself, taken a vacation, taken a break? >> i have. i actually went to see some of

my vaccinated friends and looking forward to hugging my grandmother and just looking forward to the future in general. i certainly will be taking a break when we get over this variant hump and taking some vacation time. >> all right. dr. corbett, i cannot say it enough, you are absolutely one of the heroes responsible for literally now in a lot of ways saving the world. thank you so much for what you've done. >> thank you. >> and your work but thank you for being an advocate and putting your voice out there and making sure people are educated because they have vaccine inquisitiveness, not a vaccine -- >> inquisitiveness. >> there you are. dr. corbett, good to see you. we'll see you down the road. >> my pleasure, thank you, thank you. >> turn back to rob marciano. rob. >> hey, t.j., winds are picking up here but the sun is trying to warm us up. let's go south of the equator to argentina. check out this video of a land spout basically a tornado that formed not necessarily from a supercell storm but certainly a thing of beauty. no damage to report of that we

know of. stay safe down there. april, it's april 2nd. april fools, yeah, this cold air is certainly that. but the average temperatures over the next 30 days across the u.s. will be above average for a good chunk of the country with the exception of the pacific northwest. so try good morning to you. friday, bringing in some partly cloudy skies along very excited because one of my favorite holidays, easter, is two days away, diy ideas to help you celebrate and they're all under 50 bucks. rachel hardage barrett joins us. rachel, good morning. >> good morning. happy to be here. >> i'm happy to have you here and we're going to get started because you have great ideas.

i have them all on the table in front of me. you have yours there too. the easter basket. you say you don't have to have an easter basket. everybody has one of these lying around at home. how do we do it? >> now, that's for sure. if you're like me you have no idea where you store the easter baskets. we have you covered. all you need is a paper lunch bag. you can use a large one or a small one depending on how much candy you have. and this is so easy. just draw kind of -- doesn't have to be perfect. doesn't have to be symmetrical. cut out the shape of bunny ear, cut with scissors. cut out the shape then you fill it with your holiday candy and like to use a little strawberry crate inside which gives it extra shape and tie it up with yarn and add your cotton ball bunny tail and fun twist on the easter basket. also a way to give your kids

less candy than filling up a whole easter basket and makes a great favor. >> a little bit less candy? >> it will run you also $10. >> 10 bucks, i don't know what you're talking about a little less candy but we'll move on. next one here, the easter egg and you say you don't have to use the messy dye. you have a cool -- i love this -- cool other option here. >> yes, we're all for easy breezy. i've dyed a million easter eggs with my 6 and 8-year-old. all that food dye right around the kitchen counters so this sort of eliminates that anxiety. all you need to do is take some glue and you just kind of coat -- let's see. let's get a little glue on here. coat your egg like this. >> dip it in the sprinkles. >> you kind of continue doing that until you can cover the entire easter egg and fun way to add a lot of color to your display. you can do solid color

sprinkles. right here i did white sprinkles which add texture. if you want a neutral presentation, go with the small ball size sprinkles. >> they are laughing at me because i mistakenly used the glue gun on the edible egg instead of the glue you have in front of me. sorry. craft fail. >> no glue guns and i will advise, you know, because these are covered with candy make sure people know this is not edible because there is a hard boiled egg underneath and so, you know, make sure people don't think it's a chocolate egg. the whole project, i mean, you know, i assume you have eggs at home and sprinkles at home. if you don't this will probably be $12 all in. >> now to the dessert you can actually eat that does not have glue in it. most importantly, cupcakes. >> right. people, yes, people will be delighted when they bite into

these carrot cake cupcakes from a "country living" magazine recipe but you can buy them too and i love this idea because it's so simple. you just put the cupcake in a little terra-cotta pot. you know, add a little cookie crumble on top to mimic the dirt. a dollop of orange icing is your carrot then you just add a little mintz sprig on top for your adorable carrot patch and another idea that i love to do is just to take a plate and set it on top of a terra-cotta pot so you have a cake stand that rounds out the whole theme. >> these are adorable. my attempt to write t.j., make him an easter cupcake but it doesn't look like that. for the low, low price of, all of these, 42 bucks, a lot of fun. rachel, thank you so much. i'll eat this cupcake or, t.j., you can have a bite. coming up. demi lovato, happy easter. dropping a brand-new album

overnight. she's performing one of her new hits coming up. you can eat that. i promise.
