ALLEN: New York's governor, Andrew Cuomo -- you know him by now -- has a warning for U.S. residents about COVID-19. In a tweet, he said this, "The virus will roll across the country like a slow-moving hurricane." He meant that in a symbolic way but there are growing concerns about actual hurricanes. Forecasters are predicting an above-average season. Normally, data would be collected with the help of airplanes but that is proving difficult with the airline industry at a standstill.</s>ALLEN: Now we have this, a woman traveling to see her dying mother got a surprising show of support from very sweet strangers. Sheryl Pardo was flying from Washington to Boston last week when she found herself the only passenger on the plane. Just what Derek was saying about air travel is way down. The flight was empty because of the coronavirus crisis. The crew lavished her with attention and gave her unique attention: an upgrade to the front of the plane.</s>JESSICA, FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Good morning. Welcome aboard American Eagle's service to Boston. My name is Jessica. Dion and I will be your flight attendants. And we have Sheryl as our passenger, livin' it up in first class. Yes, everybody shout out to Sheryl, the only passenger on the plane. Thank you so much for joining us today. We appreciate and value your business and we hope you fly with us again.</s>ALLEN: She certainly deserved that. Sheryl was able to spend the day with her mother before she died and she said she's grateful to the flight attendants for making her journey a bit easier. Thank you so much for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Natalie Allen. "NEW DAY" is just ahead. Stay safe out there.
