Carla Zeus It's great to be starting off a new week with you.

We have a couple quick headlines to cover first today on this Monday after Easter.

In fact, the first involves Easter itself, the most significant only day for the world's Christians.

This is how Service's looked last year in ST Peter's Square, the Vatican.

This is how they looked on Sunday, with Vatican City under the same locked down as surrounding Italy.

Pope Francis, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, participated in one of many.

Service is shown on TV and online as millions of Christians virtually attended church following social distancing guidelines on the day that commemorates Jesus Christ's resurrection, some churches held drive through and parking Lot Service's and some worshippers planning to celebrate in person anyway.

And that brought up a number of legal questions and lawsuits.

In America is issues of health restrictions and religious freedom clashed with one another.

Economy, have been shut down for weeks because of Corona virus fears.

Unemployed and furloughed workers have the years about making ends meet.

There are a lot of people like me or just wondering how long this is going to be.

Some help is on the way, though the first wave of checks direct payments to Americans from the government's $2 trillion stimulus package were sent out over the weekend for those who are eligible, hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars could arrive in the days and weeks ahead.

We don't know yet when the stay at home and shelter and place orders will be lifted.

But the United States has now seen more cases and deaths from Corona virus than any other country, so health officials say removing the restrictions too soon could make things worse.

Most states are not going to reach their peak of coronavirus cases for 1 to 2 weeks.

Now, remember why we're doing this lock down is so that that peak doesn't overwhelm What are hospitals can handle.

More than 1.8 million people worldwide have contracted covert 19.

Most people who get the disease will recover, so the next question for them is are they now immune to Corona virus and for how long?

According to the Corona Virus Task Force, more than two million tests have now been performed in the United States.

And yet there are still people who need to be tested, such as health care workers who can't get one.

It's part of the reason there is now so much interest in a different kind of test, an antibody test, Dr Fauci told CNN on Friday.

I'm certain that that's gonna happen that within a period of a week or so we're gonna have a rather large number of tests that are available.

They are proteins in the immune system that developed days after someone has been infected, and it's the antibodies that makes someone immune to becoming reinfected.

You were previously infected, and you are now likely to be protected, at least for a while.

We think it will be a tool to help us get people back to work.

It'll be additional information because, as you know, if you have an antibody, that means you were exposed and have recovered from it.

That, with the information about diagnosis, should help.

That's why public health agencies around the world want thes antibody tests because it could help some people get back to their daily lives.

You remember the swab test we're all familiar with?

Well, that tests for the virus itself, specifically its genetic material problems are first of all, at some point after you recover, that test will be negative.

And secondly, a lot of people have had trouble getting that diagnostic test in the first place.

There are only a few reasons you would have antibodies in your blood.

You got someone else's antibodies by an injection of their blood.

You got a vaccine which teaches your body to make antibodies, or you were infected.

The antibody test requires a sample of your blood and this strip, which has proteins from the virus on it.

If your blood reacts to that strip, it means you have antibodies in your blood, and I think, really being able to tell them the peace of mind that would come from knowing you already were infected.

You're safe from reinfection 99.9% of the time, and so this, I think, would be very reassuring to our front line health care workers.

Another benefit of antibody testing, surveillance in places like Miami Dade County, Florida Santa Clara County, California and Telluride, Colorado.

They have already started using antibody tests to get a better sense of how many people, many of whom will be surprised to learn, have already been exposed to the virus.

Where would you find a yeoman known as the Raven Master Notredame Maryland's You in Baltimore Tower of London or Edgar Allen Poe Museum rated master Cares for the famous Ravens of the Tower of London.

They've been a fixture at the tower since.

What we can tell you is that there are seven of them.

There is a legend that in the 16 hundreds King Charles the second order that the Ravens be kept around the tower to protect the country.

There was a superstition that if they left, disaster would strike England.

But just like there are a lot of legends, myths and stories about the Tower of London itself, there are a lot of legends about the animals, and the modern day Raven master says there's not a lot of proof The Ravens were there before the late 18 hundreds.

One thing we know for certain his jobs for the parts and his beat is the next stop in our ongoing series of virtual field trips.

If I'm the Raven Master at Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, the Tower of London and I am responsible for the safety and the welfare of our magnificent Ravens, there are many myths and legends associated with the tower on one.

Such legend reminds us that should the Ravens leave the Tower of London, it will crumble on a great Harmel before the kingdom.

So we keep the Ravens here in order to save the Kingdom.

I have a lot of responsibility on my shoulders.

I'm ensure that the area that they're gonna spend their day out and about freely around the tower is clean.

I feed them, look after him and let him out on a date.

Make sure that they're nice and healthy for the members of the public to come in and see them.

My relationship with the Ravens depends very much on the actual personality off each individual raven that we have here at the Tower of London, one of our oldest Ravens Ravens.

I do have a large bonding with one of our other Ravens called Merlin, and we're really good friends.

There are currently 37 Serving Young Award is inside the walls of the Tower of London, and about 100 and 50 people live inside this iconic building a SZ.

Far as I'm aware, I'm officially the only raven master in the world, so I consider that quite a responsible job.

If you've ever stop what you're doing, looked up with this guy and thought, Whoa!

I wonder what the Hubble Space Telescope could see on my birthday Will.

The observatory was launched into orbit in 1990.

It's been maintained and upgraded through numerous spacewalks and all this has come at a cost to the U.

But as its world around the world, at 17,000 miles per hour, it's taken some incredible images of the universe beyond it.

And there've been so many pictures throughout the year that NASA says it has one for your birthday, not the year.

Of course, that would weed out anyone born before 1990.

But if you know the month and date of your birth, even if that's February 29th of a leap year, Hubble has taken a picture of space that NASA will share with you and some would say massive, pretty cool.

Maybe they call it humbling that they're not humbled by time and space.

It's fun to become universe and what you can galaxy from the great beyond.

Just Hubble on over to your computer, maybe with a slice of humble pie and take the trouble to appreciate the whole scope of possibilities.
