GOVERNOR WHITMER OFFERING A HINT
ABOUT THE REST OF THE SCHOOL
YEAR.
YEAR. HEY, BEN.
HEY, BEN. >> BEN: GREAT WAY TO FINISH
FRIDAY, PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AND
SOME DECENT TEMPERATURES, BUT
THAT STORM THREAT THIS WEEKEND

STRONGER.

SCILLIAN, KAREN DREW WORKING

FIRST AT 4, CONGRESS HAS PASSED
A $2 TRILLION STIMULUS BILL
AFTER SOME DRAMA, BUT WE’LL TALK
ABOUT THAT IN A MOMENT.
IN MICHIGAN, MORE THAN 3600
CASES OF CORONAVIRUS REPORTED
THE DEATHS IS UP 50% FROM 60
YESTERDAY TO NOW 92 TODAY.
WAYNE COUNTYS NOW REQUIRING
ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES TO SCREEN
EMPLOYEES AND DO TEMPERATURE
CHECKS BEFORE ALLOWING THEM TO
STAY AT WORK.
OAKLAND AND WASHTENAW COUNTIES
HAVE SIMILAR ORDERS IN PLACE AND
DRIVE-THRU TESTING HAS NOW
STARTED THE AT STATE FAIRGROUNDS
IN DETROIT.
IN DETROIT. NOW TO THE BREAKING NEWS FROM
CAPITOL HILL.
CAPITOL HILL. SOME HOUSE MEMBERS HAD TO RUSH
BACK TO WASHINGTON AFTER ONE
MEMBER OF CONGRESS THREATENED TO
DELAY THE VOTE ON THE HUGE
STIMULUS BILL.
STIMULUS BILL. LET’S GET TO KIMBERLY IN THE
NEWS ROOM WITH MORE ON NO DOUBT
A LOT OF PEOPLE BREATHING A SIGH
OF RELIEF.
OF RELIEF. >> KIMBERLY: EVERYONE AGREED
SOMETHING NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING
TO HELP FAMILIES SLAMMED WITH
COVID-19.
COVID-19. THE 2.2 TRILLION DOLLAR PACKAGE
WAS PASSED BY A VOICE VOTE.
DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN
LEADERS HAD WHO OUTMANEUVER TOM
MASSEY OF KENTUCKY WHO TRIED TO
FORCE A ROLL CALL VOTE.
WITH MANY REPRESENTATIVES
SCATTERED AROUND THE COUNTRY
THAT COULD HAVE FORCED A DELAY,
BUT ENOUGH LAWMAKERS CAME BACK
TO D.C. TO PASS THE BILL IN
UNDER A MINUTE.
THE BILL WILL BOOST
UNEMPLOYMENT, HELP SMALL
BUSINESSES, AND ARRANGE LOANS
FOR LARGER COMPANIES AS WELL.
MASSEY SAYS HE WANTED LAWMAKERS
TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR
VOTES.
VOTES. LISTEN.
LISTEN. >> THESE PEOPLE NEED TO DO THEIR
JOBS, IF THEY’RE TELLING PEOPLE
TO DRIVE A TRUCK, IF THEY’RE
PEOPLE TO BAG GROCERIES AND GROW
THEIR FOOD THEN BY GOLLY, THEY
CAN BE IN THERE AND THEY CAN
VOTE.
VOTE. >> THIS IS NOT A TIME FOR
CYNICISM OR INVECTIVE OR SECOND
GUESSING.
GUESSING. THIS IS A TIME TO REMEMBER THAT
WE ARE CITIZENS OF THE GREATEST
NATION ON EARTH, THAT WE HAVE
OVERCOME EVERY CHALLENGE WE HAVE
FACED AND WE WILL OVERCOME THIS
ONE
ONE ONE.
ONE. >> KIMBERLY: NOW, THE PRESIDENT
HAS SAID HE’S READY TO SIGN.
BILL.
BILL. IF YOU HAVE DIRECT DEPOSIT ON
FILE WITH THE IRS YOU COULD BE
AMONG THE FIRST TO RECEIVE ABOUT
$1200 IF YOUR INCOME IS $75,000
A YEAR OR LESS.
THAT COULD TAKE THREE WEEKS.
PAPER CHECKS THOUGH COULD TAKE
LONGER.
LONGER. WE WILL, OF COURSE, STAY ON TOP
OF IT AND KEEP YOU POSTED.
BACK TO YOU, DEVIN.
>> DEVIN: WE’LL SEE YOU AT 5:00.
OP MECHANISM ABOUT THE DAY THAT
IT PASSES STOCKS WENT LOWER.
THE DOW LOST 900 POINTS ON THE
DAY, IT WAS DOWN AROUND 600
AROUND THE TIME THE HOUSE VOTED
AND FELL FURTHER THAN THAT BY
THE MARKET’S CLOSE.
WILL MICHIGAN STUDENTS EVER GO
BACK TO SCHOOL DURING THE
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL YEAR, THIS
ONE, ANYWAY, GOVERNOR WHITMER
HAS NOT MADE A FINAL DECISION,
BUT SAID THIS MORNING ON WWJ
RADIO THIS.
RADIO THIS. >> I THINK ANYONE WHO IS
WATCHING WHAT IS HAPPENING
GLOBALLY WITH THIS PANDEMIC NOW
IT’S UNLIKELY THEY’RE GOING TO
GET BACK IN SCHOOL BEFORE THE
END OF THE YEAR.
I HAVEN’T MADE THAT CALL YET
BECAUSE I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE
HAVE A PLAN TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
OUR KIDS.
OUR KIDS. >> DEVIN: WHITMER’S OFFICE TELLS
LOCAL 4 SHE SHOULD ANNOUNCE
PLANS NEXT WEEK TO MAKE SURE
SENIORS GRADUATE AND NO CHILD IS
HEAD BACK BECAUSE OF A LACK OF
FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION, BUT
WE’LL CERTAINLY KEEP YOU POSTED
ON THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AS THEY
COME.
COME. DRIVE-THRU TESTING FOR THE TRY
COUNTY AREA TODAY AT THE
FAIRGROUNDS.
FAIRGROUNDS. ANYONE WERE WAYNE, MACOMB CAN
GET TESTED, BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE
A DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENT.
7 A.M. TO 6 P.M.
AND IT SHOULD TAKE ABOUT FOUR
DAYS.
DAYS. WE’VE POSTED MORE INFORMATION ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM AND MAKE YOUR
WAY THERE, SHOULD HAVE
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.
WE’VE HEARD REPEATEDLY HOW
IMPORTANT HAND WASHING IN TO
REDUCE THE RISK.
ALL OF THAT HAND WASHING HAS
PROBABLY LEFT YOUR SKIN, DRY,
CRACKED AND CHAPPED AND WE’VE
ASKED AN EXPERT ON ADVICE ON
OFFSETTING THE DAMAGE.
>> CHAPPED SKIN IS CAUSED BY THE
LOOK OF MOISTURE, AS FREQUENT
HAND WASHING REMOVES OUR HAND’S
PROTECTIVE OILS, MORE MOISTURE
ESCAPES.
ESCAPES. DERMATOLOGISTS SAY IT’S SAFE TO
USE A GENTLE SOAP FOR HAND
WASHING USING WARM INSTEAD OF
HOT WATER, WHICH IS MORE DRYING.
>> AND ERADICATION OF THE VIRUS.
>> APPLYING HAND CREAM CAN HELP,
TOO.
TOO. >> THERE’S A PRODUCT CALLED
C-E-R-A-M-I-D-E.
C-E-R-A-M-I-D-E. THEY HAVE A MOLECULE, A FATTY
DERIVATIVE TO HELP TO MOISTURIZE
YOUR SKIN.
YOUR SKIN. IT’S HELPFUL TO APPLY GOOD OLE
PETROLEUM JELLY.
PETROLEUM JELLY. >> PUT IT I CAN THIS ON YOUR
HANDS.
HANDS. IF YOU’RE CRACKING AFTER THAT,
USE A LITTLE OVER-THE-COUNTER
HYDRO CORTISONE TO HELP KEEP
YOUR HANDS INTACT.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY, A LOT OF US
ARE GOING TO HAVE CRACKED HANDS
THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS.
>> DEVIN: YEAH, EXPERTS SAY SOME
PEOPLE ARE JUST MORE SUSCEPTIBLE
TO CHAPPED SKIN BECAUSE THEY
NATURALLY HAVE A WEAKER
PROTECTIVE BARRIER.
PROTECTIVE BARRIER. CHAPPED HANDS ALSO MORE COMMON
AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT WITH
SENSITIVE SKIN OR ECZEMA, AND
THAT’S WHERE USING A GENTLE SOAP
IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT.
BREAKING NEWS INTO THE NEWS
ROOM.
ROOM. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE
PROBLEMS IN THE DETROIT POLICE
FORCE WITH CORONAVIRUS.
WORD HAS COME NOW FROM THE
MAYOR’S OFFICE THAT CHIEF JAMES
CRAIG HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR
CORONAVIRUS NOW.
CORONAVIRUS NOW. SO NOW ALL THE WAY UP TO THE
POLICE CHIEF AND THIS IS CAUSED
A GREAT STRAIN, OBVIOUSLY, ON
THE SO FAR, THE OVERALL
INFECTION RATE HAS CAUSED QUITE
A BIT OF STRAIN ON THOSE ON
STREETS PATROLLING EVERY DAY AND
NOW WE’VE BEEN GETTING UPDATES
FROM CHIEF CRAIG, REPEATING
CHIEF JAMES CRAIG, THE DETROIT
POLICE CHIEF HAS TESTED POSITIVE
FOR THE CORONAVIRUS.
WE WISH HIM A SPEEDY RECOVERY
AND MORE AS WE MAKE OUR WAY
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND
EVENING NEWS BLOCK.
THERE’S NO QUESTION COVID-19 IS
CHANGING HOW WE DO THE 2020
CENSUS.
CENSUS. PAULA TUTMAN SHOWS HOW CLINTON
TOWNSHIP HAS TWEAKED ITS PLANS
FOR A BIG EVENT.
>> THIS ISN’T EXACTLY THE EVENT
THAT MACOMB COUNTY ACTION HAD IN
MIND.
MIND. >> THE CENSUS IS WORTH THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS TO US HERE IN CLINTON
TOWNSHIP, TO MACOMB COUNTY AND
MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN. >> IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A
SERIES OF BIG COMMUNITY PICNIC
TO GET OUT THE CENSUS RESPONSES.
>> I’M TRYING TO REMIND PEOPLE
TO FILL OUT THE CENSUS.
>>, BUT THIS APPROVED BY THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS MEANT TO
DRAW ATTENTION TO THE INVITATION
TO FILL OUT THE CENSUS.
WHILE FEW PEOPLE WOULD CONSIDER
HEAVILY GLOVED, MASKED COUNTY
WORKERS CONDUCTING A DRIVE-THRU
PICNIC EXCITING--
PICNIC EXCITING-- >> WE’RE ASKING EVERYONE WHO IS
LINED UP IF THEY’VE TAKEN THE
CENSUS.
CENSUS. WE’RE GETTING THE MOST POSITIVE
FEEDBACK, I’M SO AMAZED.
>> THOSE WHO DID SHOW UP
APPRECIATED THE EXTRA EFFORT TO
KEEP THE IDEA OF COMMUNITY
ALIVE.
ALIVE. >> I THINK THAT THE COMMUNITY
CONTINUES TO MEET TO COMMUNITIES
EVENTS EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE
DISTANCE, EVERYONE IS RESPECTIVE
OF THE SANITARY ISSUES AND FIVE,
SIX FEET AWAY OR MORE FROM EACH
OTHER.
OTHER. >> AS OF TODAY, THE STATEMENT IS
ABOVE THE NATIONAL RESPONSE RATE
OF 28.1%.
OF 28.1%. ACCORDING TO THE U.S. CENSUS.
IN MICHIGAN, THE TRI-COUNTY AREA
LEADS THE WAY.
WAYNE COUNTY, 30% OF RESIDENTS
HAVE ALREADY ANSWERED.
OAKLAND COUNTY, 36%.
MACOMB COUNTY LEADS THE WAY WITH
A 38.5 RESPONSE RATE WITH THE
CITIES OF WARREN AND STERLING
HEIGHTS TIED FOR THE MOST
RESPONSES IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN.
MICHIGAN. FILLING OUT THE CENSUS SURVEY
THOSE ON THE FRONT LINES.
RISKING THEIR OWN HEALTH TO
RESPOND TO IN SOME CASES DOUBLE
THE CALLS.
THE CALLS. SO IF YOU THINK FILLING OUT THE
CENSUS ISN’T IMPORTANT TO YOU,
CONSIDER ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE
GUYS WHO ARE COMING FOR YOU IF
YOU GET SICK.
>> YOU’RE DOING YOUR PART AND
LET US KNOW, THE FAMILY MEMBERS
THAT ARE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD
REALLY, YOU KNOW, STRIKES OUT
GOOD FOR US, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW,
THAT’S HOW THE TOWNSHIP AFORDS
EVERYTHING THEY’RE ABLE TO DO
AND ON A LIMITED BUDGET.
WE’VE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE WHO
LOOKED AT ME AND SAID IT’S
IMPORTANT, WE FILLED IT OUT AND
WE’RE HERE FOR THE HOT DOG.
THAT’S OKAY.
THAT’S OKAY. >> DRIVE-THRU PICNIC COMING FOR
THE HOT DOGS, AT THIS POINT IT’S
EASY TO DO THE CENSUS AND YOU’VE
PROBABLY GOT THE INVITATION TO
FILL IT OUT ONLINE OR ON THE
PHONE.
PHONE. IT’S THE LAW, BY THE WAY.
IF YOU FILL IT OUT NOW, IT KEEPS
WORKERS FROM HAVING TO KNOCK ON
YOUR DOOR IN THE FUTURE TO GET
THAT INFORMATION, DEVIN.
>> DEVIN: WHAT A WRENCH THROWN
INTO A CRITICAL PROJECT.
MORE ON THAT OBVIOUSLY AS WE
CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH WITH OUR
COMMITMENT TO MAKING SURE THE
CENSUS WORKS.
CENSUS WORKS. LET’S MOVE SO SOME OF THE
CORONAVIRUS STORIES MAKING
HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD.
BRITISH PRIME MINISTER BORIS
JOHNSON RESISTED TOUGH
RESTRICTIONS UNTIL LAST WEEK AND
NOW HE HAS TESTED POSITIVE SO HE
SAYS HE’S SEEING ONLY MINOR
SYMPTOMS.
SYMPTOMS. JOHNSON RELEASED A MESSAGE ON
TWITTER.
TWITTER. >> I’M SELF-ISOLATING AND THAT’S
ENTIRELY THE RIGHT THING TO DO,
BUT BE IN NO DOUBT I CAN
CONTINUE THANKS TO THE WIZARDRY
OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY TO
COMMUNICATE WITH ALL OF MY TEAM
TO LEAD THE FIGHT BACK AGAINST
CORONAVIRUS.
CORONAVIRUS. >> DEVIN: RIGHT NOW, JOHNSON THE
HIGHEST PROFILE POLITICAL LEADER
TO HAVE CONTRACTED THE VIRUS.
LET’S MOVE FROM THE U.K. TO
SPAIN.
SPAIN. HEALTH CARE WORKERS IN MADRID
SAY THEY FEAR THEIR HOSPITAL
SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO COLLAPSE
UNDER THE CRUSH OF CORONAVIRUS.
AN ICE RANKINK HAS BEEN CONVERTE
INTO A MORGUE.
SPAIN HAS NOW NEARLY 5,000
DEATHS DUE TO THE VIRUS.
WE’VE BEEN DODGING RAIN SHOWERS
OFF AND ON ALL WEEK.
WHAT’S AHEAD FOR TONIGHT?
LET’S GO TO BEN WHO IS WORKING
AT BEN’S HOUSE.
BEN.
BEN. >> YEAH, I SEE THE SUNSHINE OUT
THE WINDOW.
THE WINDOW. IT LOOKS GREAT NOW, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY, THE WEATHER IS
LOOKING ROUGHER AS WE GET INTO
THE WEEKEND.
THE WEEKEND. YOU CAN SEE ON THE SATELLITE AND
RADAR RIGHT NOW, THE BACK END OF
OUR FIRST ROUND OF RAIN THAT’S
GOING TO START PUSHING IN HERE.
THAT’S NOT GOING TO BE UNTIL
THIS EVENING.
THIS EVENING. THAT STUFF IS GOING TO BE GARDEN
VARIETY RAINDROPS.
VARIETY RAINDROPS. TOMORROW IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
THE ENTIRE AREA IS NOW UNDER A
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND
PARTS OF THE SOUTH ZONE SLIGHTLY
HIGHER IN THE SLIGHT RISK.
THE WORST IS ACROSS CENTRAL
ILLINOIS AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT
THAT COMING UP.
THE BOTTOM LINE FOR US HERE AT
HOME, 7 P.M. TO 2 A.M. IS THE
BIGGEST THREAT ON SATURDAY
NIGHT.
NIGHT. WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE POTENTIAL
FOR LARGE HAIL AND HEAVY RAIN
ALTHOUGH STRONG WIND GUSTS CAN’T
BE RULED OUT AND RIGHT NOW LOOKS
LIKE THE GREATEST THREAT IS IN
THE SOUTH ZONE AND WE’LL TALK
MORE ABOUT THIS IN A FEW
MINUTES.
MINUTES. >> DEVIN: AHEAD, WE’RE HEARING
ABOUT A NEW SHOPPING TREND.
ONE ITEM IS RED-HOT AND ANOTHER
IS NOT.
IS NOT. WE’LL TALK ABOUT WHAT IS
HAPPENING AT THE LARGEST BRICK
AND MORTAR RETAILER.
AHEAD, NEW VIDEO AND WHAT’S THE
REPAIR PLAN AFTER THIS BRIDGE
COLLAPSE ON INTERSTATE 94?
BUT UP FIRST, THE TOP PROSECUTOR
