ABC reporter caught without pants during live broadcast

Working from home is getting to us all.

Good Morning America reporter, Will Reeve, appears to be like the rest of us when he appeared on live television in a full suit above the waist, and tiny shorts below. The reporter failed to angle the camera properly to hide his legs which were visibly exposed on camera.

Reeve is the son of the late Christopher Reeve who is best known for his portrayal of Superman and his alter ego, Clark Kent— a reporter.

Room Rater, a popular account on Twitter that solely makes fun of the work-from-home backgrounds of reporters during the pandemic couldn’t help but poke fun at Reeve tweeting, “Nice shorts.”

To his credit, Reeve is being a good sport about the online ribbing. He retweeted Room Rater saying, “I have ARRIVED … in the most hilariously mortifying way possible.”

Reeve later explained that he was wearing workout clothes under the suit planning to get in some exercise after his appearance. In a later tweet, Reeve said, “The camera angle, along with friends, family and several hundred strangers on the social media made me rethink my morning routine,” he wrote. He added that the self-framed live shot went “too wide.”

In a moment of solidarity, fellow GMA staffer, George Stephanopoulos said that he too has definitely done reports in shorts.

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, millions of Americans are now working for home. More than 5 million people worked from home prior to the pandemic, that number has skyrocketed. One study estimates that by 2028, more 70% of all departments will have some remote workers. Researchers believe that the pandemic is an experiment in working from home and the future of work may forever be changed.

Coronavirus Lingers In Air of Crowded Spaces: Study

Researchers have discovered the coronavirus appears to linger in the air in crowded spaces or rooms that lack ventilation.

According to Bloomberg, researchers found pieces of the virus’s genetic material floating in the air of hospital toilets, an indoor space housing large crowds, and rooms where medical staff changed out of protective gear in Wuhan, China.

The study, published Monday in the journal Nature Research, did not attempt to establish whether the airborne particles would cause infection.

How the coronavirus spreads has been a topic for debate since the virus was discovered.

The World Health Organization said the risk is limited to certain circumstances, saying an analysis of more than 75,000 coronavirus cases in Wuhan showed no airborne transmissions.

The researchers also set up so-called aerosol traps in and around two hospitals in Wuhan. Scientists found few aerosols in patient wards, supermarkets, and residential buildings.

However, researchers found significantly more aerosols in toilets and two areas that had large crowds passing through. Higher concentrations of the coronavirus appeared in the rooms where medical staff removed protective equipment.

This could suggest particles contaminating their gear became airborne again while medical staff removed masks, gloves, and gowns.

The findings highlight the importance of ventilation, limiting crowds, and careful sanitation efforts, the researchers stated.

On Monday, Vanity Fair reported President Trump cut funding for a project studying how coronaviruses spread from bats to people. Newsweek reports that government agencies are updating reports with findings that the virus may have been accidentally released by an infectious disease lab in China.

The coronavirus has infected more than 1 million Americans and killed almost 59,000 people. Although there is no end in sight, many states are planning to reopen their economies under mounting economic pressure.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp has allowed hair and nail salons, barbershops, massage businesses, bowling alleys, and gyms to reopen. Trump said in a press conference said during a briefing last week the idea “is one I disagree with.”

The coronavirus has put more than 20 million Americans out of work and has also stalled the stock market and various industries.

Morehouse College Partners with Microsoft to Provide New Students with Microsoft Surface 2-in-1 Tablets

Microsoft is making sure that students at Morehouse College have no excuses about not having access to computers. The HBCU has announced that it has initiated a partnership with Microsoft Corp. to address the digital divide. Morehouse and Microsoft launched the initiative to ensure that students in families struggling financially because of the COVID-19 global pandemic will be prepared for a successful transition to college.

“Microsoft is extremely proud to partner with Morehouse College to provide the technology that can bridge the digital divide that has too often stood between students and access to information and education,” said Fred Humphries, vice president of government affairs at Microsoft in a written statement. “We are excited to work with the newest men of Morehouse as they enter the institution and look forward to seeing the impact they can make on their communities and the world.”

The partnership announcement took place over the weekend at Morehouse College’s Virtual Admitted Students Day “MXP.1” on YouTube, the first day of the Morehouse experience for new students and their families.

MXP.1 News – Morehouse is partnering with Microsoft in a campaign to address the digital divide that will equip newly enrolled students for the 2020-21 academic year with Microsoft Surface 2-in-1 tablets that run Windows 10 and can be used in either tablet or desktop mode. pic.twitter.com/nX2goee6W9

“The digital divide is another battlefield in the fight for social justice because it is directly linked to income disparities between racial groups,” said David A. Thomas, president of Morehouse College. “Black and brown families are at the lowest rungs of the household income scale.

The digital divide (the gap between those who have access to the internet and technology) is more than likely to impact students of historically black colleges or universities (HBCU). Currently, all Morehouse classes and pre-college summer programs are only available online.

“According to the Pew Research Center, nearly half of adults with a yearly household income of $30,000 do not have a computer for themselves or their children to use,” Thomas added. “We are grateful to Microsoft for partnering with us to help level the playing field in technology for our new students.”

Nearly 2,200 students attend Morehouse. The college has enrolled approximately 600 new students during the 2019-20 academic year. Based on statistics, more than 90% of Morehouse students are eligible for financial aid.
