Transcripts For KPIX CBS This Morning 20240713

To recognize the reality. People in the entire state of california are being ordered to stay home in a bid to curb the coronavirus pandemic. I dont view it as an act of god. I would view it as something that just surprised the whole world. There may be new hope in the desperate race to find a treatment for coronavirus. And it couldnt come soon enough. President trump says he is slashing red tape, ordering the fda to fast track the use of two drugs for sick patients. Italys reported death toll from this coronavirus has surpassed chinas. A cemetery northeast of milan has been so overwhelmed, the military had to transport bodies to neighboring towns. Several u. S. Senators are accused of profiting off the pandemic. At least four sold stock in the weeks following a briefing on the coronavirus. No greater moral crime than betraying your country in a time of crisis. These days its difficult to find toilet paper but in pennsylvania, a bakery has a new twist on tp. Toilet paper cakes. All that john, who is this . Its ellen. What up with you . Justin, its ellen degeneres. Isolating at home and sharing her calls with fellow celebrities. So you have kids. I wish i had kids right now. Im so bored. And all that matters. Shes reworked her classic get out to be an important psa. Stay in right now do it for humanity on cbs this morning. Do it you are so good. I think we can all identify with going a little stir crazy at home right now. So much so that one family spent ten hours seth up and perfecting a rube gogoldberg machine. No way. No way. Whoa this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Thats great. We are happy to tell you the cat did survive. They were like, no, we had it all planned. Just like they planned it. Exactly. Welcome to cbs this morning. Were ghcoming to you again fro the home of the late show with Stephen Colbert because the Broadcast Center where cbs is located is temporarily closed out of an abundance of caution. Stephen and his entire team, the ep who used to be here with us, for lending us their home while theyre on hiatus. He said you guys are really practicing social distancing. Its one, two, skip a few, on your desk which i thought was funny. We are. Were taking it very, very seriously. Glad to be here. Very glad to be here. We will be answering your questions on the coronavirus throughout the broadcast but we begin with where we stand today. This is the track of cases just this week. There are now more than 14,000 reported cases in the u. S. Nearly quadruple the total on monday. The death toll has climbed to at least 205 people. California is now under a statewide stayathome order. The first state to take that step. Heres what governor gavin newsom had to say last night. Theres a recognition of our interdependence that requires of this moment that we direct a statewide order for people to stay at home. Lets bend the curve together. Lets not regret. Lets not dream of regretting. Go back, say, we could have, would of, should have. California is the most populous state in america and the worlds fifth largest economy. Jamie yuccas joins us from los angeles. What does it look like where you are . Im currently standing on the iconic ventura boulevard. You can see not manyy cars aroud me right now. Normally this time of day there would be some traffic. Governor newsom will keep essential businesses open. Things like banks and Grocery Stores. Theres some deliveries being made this morning. Theyll also keep open pharmacies and here in california, that also means marijuana dispensaries will stay open as well as takeout restaurants. Furniture stores, barber shops, record stores, those types of things you see up and down the boulevard will all be closed. Newsom said the decision comes as california plans for a worst Case Scenario where 56 of the States Residents contract coronavirus. Thats more than 22 million people. Officials believe that could lead to more than 19,000 people in the hospital which would overwhelm current capacity. But the governor says that this stayathome order is meant to starve off those worst Case Scenario numbers. By the way, if you dont shelter in place and stay at home, you could face a misdemeanor which means also a fine, tony. Jamie, thank you. Behind the numbers associated with the pandemic of thousands of individuals and their families dealing with heartbreak, isolation and a growing number of cases dealing with grieve. David begnaud is focusing on some of those stories. Reporter a fourth member of a family who lives in the northeastern part of the u. S. Has died from coronavirus. Seven members of the fusco family have all tested positive for the virus. Meanwhile, in southern california, one of the youngest individuals to contract the virus has passed away. 34yearold jeffrey gazarian, a cancer survivor who recently visited disney world and Universal Studios in florida died thursday in california. Also in california, there were images of another patient in an Isolation Chamber being loaded off of a private jet by workers in hazmat suits. Of course, he was very, very anxious. Reporter the 65yearold patient was transported to los angeles from aruba where he tested positive for the virus. The flight was chartered by jet rescue air ambulance and was lined in plastic. Two pilots, a doctor and a paramedic were on board. We started an i. V. And sedated him so that he would go sleeping all the way in the chamber because it could be very difficult to be inside of there. We are putting all of our Health Care Workers at the front line. Some of them are going to get sick. Reporter in new york, medical student ruth howe has seen the human suffering firsthand. There are a lot of people out there who have a lung disease or high blood pressure, Something Else thats weakened their immune system. Theyre more vulnerable to this. Reporter for cbs this morning, im David Begnaud here in new york. Its so important to put a face on what is happening in this country, for people to understand how serious this is. I think some people still dont understand. This is a very serious crisis. All you have to do is see the way that man was transported. If you arent taking precautions right now, look at that and start. Stay home. Stay safe. Cbs news learned the Trump Administration is now planning to close the southern border today to all nonessential travel. Meanwhile, lawmakers are working on a plan to give cash to americans taking a financial hit. That is a lot of people. The president is also pushing the fda to fast track the drugs to treat the virus. Weijia jiang reports from the white house on that. It could be a gamechanger. Reporter President Trump projected optimism on thursday when he announced a drug called chloroquine, commonly used to treat malaria, had been approved by the fda to ease symptoms of coronavirus. Its been around for a long time. So we know that if it if things dont go as planned, its not going to kill anybody. Reporter but fda commissioner stephen hahn quickly clarified that even though chloroquine is approved as a malaria treatment it must still go through clinical tests to see if its safe for coronavirus. So far, no drug is specifically approved for treating it, even though there are several candidates. We may have the right drug, but it may not be in the appropriate dosage form right now. And that may do more harm than good. Reporter on capitol hill, Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell unveiled a trilliondollar Financial Aid package to help Small Businesses and Industries Like the airlines that are hemorrhaging money. The proposal would also send direct payments to many americans. Up to 1200 per person and 2400 per couple. We need to take bold and swift action as soon as possible. Reporter but there are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle opposed to the idea of giving out cash, arguing its a shortsighted solution. I dont think thats a good idea now. Cant stimulate something thats padlocked. Reporter and democrats were quick to criticize the gops plan for prioritizing large corporations over individuals. It provides a bailout for a number of industries. Again, we have to put the workers first. Reporter the white house announced last night that the g7 gathering of World Leaders that was scheduled to take place at camp david in june will now be held over Video Conference instead. Tony . Like so many other conferences these days. We want to get to our dr. David agus who joins us from los angeles to talk about possible treatments for the virus. Were all so hungry for any kind of good news. The president wants to fast track a drug used to treat malaria for application to coronavirus. What more can you tell us about that . Is it promising . Two are two clusion, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine that are approved and on the market and i can write a prescription for. And they certainly seem in pilot studies to have an effect on the virus and hopefully to make people do better. So this is real hope with these two drugs. And they are here and were using them. And so its optimism. And i was very excited that the president took that step forward yesterday. I want and am pushing him to go further and say use it early. Use it in people who were exposed because we have to stop the spread of this virus. These could be preventative drugs, david . Right now theyre treatment. They are treatment with significant disease. The problem is when you come to see me, i do your test, it may be three, four, five days until i get it back. What we know with these drugs is the earlier you use them, the better. So, again, i think people should be treated with them. When we think they have the virus. If you are a first responder, a doctor, a nurse, a Health Care Professional and you take care of a patient who is spreading the virus, maybe you should take them to prevent the spread. Those studies are ongoing. But we in the field cannot wait for those studies. And now we have optimism with real drugs that are here today. So, david, at what point do you give these drugs to someone who has been infected, and do you have concerns about fasttracking these drugs . Again, i dont even know what the word fasttracking means. The drugs are available. Theyre here today. You may fast track their fda approval. I dont care if theyre fda approved or not. Were using them as early as possible in patients with this disease. This is doctors across the country are talking about it and using them. Weve been doing so for several weeks but, obviously, when the president endorses it yesterday, use is going to go up. I like it when dr. David agus says real hope. Thank you. The state department is now warning americans to avoid all international travel. Those currently out of the country have been urged to return immediately. But its not that simple, according to americans stuck in peru and morocco. They had police guarding the gates and so i went up to try to talk to them and they said all the flights are canceled. You cant come in unless you have a ticket for tonight. Were relying on media at this point to show that there are u. S. Citizens that are desperately trying to get home. We want to make sure were advocating for the other u. S. Citizens that are here that, you know, might be running out of medication or they have children they need to get back to. Boy, this comes as feem pa is taking charge of the federal response to the coronavirus. Only on cbs this morning, the fema administrator peter gaynor joins us to discuss. Good morning, gayle. How are you . Im okay. Were all worried about everybody else. President trump says hes now fully engaged at the highest level that fema is fully engaged. What specifically, rather, is fema doing to help . Yesterday we began to take over full operations coordinating the entire federal effort here in the National Response Coordination Center. We combined secretary azars Operations Center here yesterday. So all of government is under one roof. Were social distancing and throughout the entire building were teleworking to make sure we can do this, respond to this virus in the long haul. This will be a long battle. Whats your top priority, and what specifically does this mean when you said were all together under one roof . What are you guys doing . Well, my top priority is protecting my workforce and protecting the american people. I have to do both at the same time. The second priority is making sure that we can respond to the coronavirus like we are today and we need to do that for the long haul. Many priorities were working on today to include supply Chain Management, making sure we get those requests filled by governors across the country and many, many other things were trying to untangle and make better connections. Were used to seeing fema providing supplies and shelter in natural disasters. Are you equipped to handle a pandemic . We are. Were ready every day. So whether its a pandemic or its a hurricane, fema is ready. And its just not fema. It is really the whole of government. I have at my disposal every single federal agency, partners, commercial partners. Theres nothing in my way from coordinating, and were ready for today, and we want to be ready for where we are in two weeks. And were ready for a natural disaster. So were doing both things simultaneously. Mr. Gaynor, could you put a little meat on these promises and specifics. What kind of equipment, supply Chain Management are you working on . Lets take testing. We know the tests need to be distributed. More people need to take them. Are you coordinating that effort . We are. Along with my medical expertise partners, hhs, were working on everything from testing kits to swabs to ppe, you name it. When its in demand, its in demand by every single governor across the united states. Were trying to make sure that we have a way to prioritize needs based on requests, based on risk, based on where we think its going to be today and where we think its going to be tomorrow. So all those things are factors. Theres enough heartbreak to go around. Weve all heard the stories, but in particular, we did a story here the other day, peter, about the Health Care Workers that will break your heart where they are saying we just dont have the supplies we need to help the people that need it. Is fema doing anything to help them to make sure they get everything thats available to them . Well, again, i think one of the best things we did is combined operations. We tried to streamline the process so whether its a Health Care Director in a state or Emergency Management director in a state, those two things are combined. All those resource requests are coming here to the nrcc and we are validating and trying to fill every single need. However, this is a shared responsibility. It needs to be locally executed. State managed and fairly supported. The only way well beat this is we do it together. All right. Fema administrator paul gaynor, thank you for joining us. Four u. S. Senators, including Intelligence Committee chair richard burr, reportedly sold stock before coronavirus fears sent the markets plunging. One congressman is asking the securities and Exchange Commission to investigate. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Nancy, what do we know . Anthony, these stock sales came about a week before the markets started to slide. As the crisis in asia was coming to a head and as senators started to get daily briefings here on capitol hill about the looming threat. Financial filings show that senator richard burr of north carolina, the chairman of the powerful senate Intelligence Committees, sold roughly between 600,000 and 1. 7 million worth of stock in midfebruary. Those sales came about the same time that burr had written an oped assuring americans that the u. S. Was prepared to deal with a pandemic. But a few days later, he gave a speech warning that the virus could actually have major consequences here. A spokesman for burr says that the senator disclosed the sales before the market started sliding. Republican senator Kelly Loeffler also sold hundreds of thousands of dollars in stocks starting in late january. Shes from georgia. Its worth noting shes one of the richest members of the senate, worth about 500 million according to some reports. On twitter, loeffler said her transactions are made by advisers and that she wasnt even aware of them until weeks later. Democrat Dianne Feinstein of california, republican jim inhofe of oklahoma, also sold large amounts around the same time. Now there is no evidence that any of these senators had any inside information. Coronavirus was well within the public view at that time. In fact, if anything, senators were complaining here on capitol hill that they werent getting enough information about the crisis in the briefings they were receiving here on capitol hill. Its all very interesting, nancy. A lot of people were very upset when they heard this. You mentioned that there could be political ramifications, but are there legal ramifications if, as we as what appears to have happened, happened, they sold before they sold while saying one thing publicly and doing another thing privately. Theres something called the stock act that prohibits members of congress from profiting off of information that they glean as part of their jobs. But at this point, it would be difficult to prove that they had inside information when coronavirus was something that everyone was talking about. Yeah. All right, nancy, thank you. Ahead, dr.

Stephen colbert and his team who usually use this house are on hiatus, and theyve given us the keys. You do the monologue later, right . I cant wait to hear it. Im Anthony Mason with gayle king and tony dokoupil. Dr. Tara narula is here. Good morning. Good morning. We asked folks to give us their most urgent questions. Theyre good. Theyre really good. One is one i had. What scares me is getting help if im really sick. When do i know its an emergency . This is the important thing to know. For most people its going to be mild. The symptoms will be mild. Youll recover. But you need to understand when it progresses. And those things to look for would be shortness of breath, chest pain, a change in your mental status. More confused, lethargic, bluish coloration to your fingers or lips. These should prompt you or someone with you to say, something is getting worse and you need to seek medical attention. If you do choose to go to the emergency room, you might want to try to call ahead again to warn them youre coming so they can prepare and decrease the risk of exposure. I thought, i got a runny nose. Is that it . I feel a tight innocence ness i. The smallest little thing. How do we go past that part . Some people have mild symptoms. What you really want to be aware of are the warning signs. I like this one. Rachel in colorado. Can you recover and then relapse . There are some reports out of asia saying some people got it and then got it again. When you get the infection you produce antibodies. They provide you protection if you see that virus again. The big question is really how long do you are you immune for . Is it a year . Is it a lifetime . Is the virus going to change a little bit like the flu does so that you need, for example, a vaccine every year. The one caveat to this is there are some people who dont produce as big an immune reaction. So they may in fact be able to get infected again. If you dont have symptoms anymore but think you had it or did have it, your still contagious . Another really great question. So you know, what we know is that if you get exposed, usually you will mount symptoms within those two to 14 days. Thats why that quarantine period is 14 days. If you do test positive for covid and you are told to isolate, then when can you reemerge . And thats really when youve been free of fever for 72 hours without feverreducing medications. Your symptoms are improving, and its been seven days since you first had the symptom. Or you have two negative tests. All right. We have keith from montana had a question about those who are potentially high risk. Heres what he asks. Lets listen. We keep hearing how Older Americans are the most affected by the coronavirus. But also those with underlying conditions. My question is, can we get more detail on those underlying conditions . For me, specifically, i have a type 1 diabetic child. Thank you. So its important to recognize what some of these underlying conditions are. So hypertension, cardiovascular disease. Chronic lung disease including asthma, diabetes, Kidney Disease and individuals who are on dialysis. Sirrose, i sickle cell anemia and cancer. Anyone immuno suppressed. They have a condition where their immune system is weaker. These are the big categories you need to know about. I like the question about Older Americans. I went to the Grocery Store to get orange juice yesterday. Walked in, walked out. My kids hammered me because they said youre over 60. Okay. My daughter does that, too. Im just thinking, can i not go can people over 60 in good health not go to the Grocery Store . Again, the more you can distance yourself. If you are going at an off time where theres nobody in the Grocery Store, thats probably fine. The more you can stay home and keep that distance, important. Going home to my computer. Thats fun. Thanks, tara. Separated by a keyboard. Tara, thank you. Tara will be back in the next hour to answer more of your questions, including the difference between allergies and the coronavirus. Symptoms can seem the same. And as our pandemic reshapes daily life in america, please continue sending your questions. Email coronavirus cbs news. Com.

Officials warning us about the coronavirus threat are increasingly worried that babyboomers, Anthony Mason and me, and young adults wait a minute and me. And young adults are not listening to their advice. Its a particular problem in florida where some beaches are still open, and College Students on break have been slow to recognize the danger. Manuel bojorquez is in hollywood, florida. A place where you find a lot of spring breakers and retirees. Manny, hello. A young friend of mine said yesterday that the government sends conflicting messages that they leave the beaches open and then tell young people not to go. So do you think people are now finally going to get the message . Reporter heres what i can tell you from reporting on this story this week. Some young people just will not budge. It requires doing Something Like this, actually shutting down the beaches, to get their attention. This decision does not come lightly. In a state where tourism is an 86 billionayear industry. If packed beaches werent enough to get your blood boiling [ cheers ] reporter there was this. If i get crone ai get corona. At the end of the day im not going to let it stop me from partying. Reporter now some young adults seem to be getting the message that they can spread the virus and become severely ill themselves. Even if they have to learn it the hard way. Theyre starting to all get positive tests. Reporter this Vanderbilt University center who asked we not use his name is one of a number of students who tested positive for the coronavirus at that school. Because of the sort of rapid spread, everyones really worried. I have a friend multiple pfriends in the hospital right now. I think that the narrative has flipped. If you go out now, youre going to get shamed from a lot of people. Reporter officials are trying to reach young people by any means possible. The Surgeon General asked influencers like kylie jenner to spread the message. Please, stay inside, you guys. Please stay inside. Practice social distancing, selfquarantine. Reporter new York Governor Andrew Cuomo brought his 22yearold daughter, mikaela, to a News Conference to show shes staying put. It makes no sense to go expose yourself to these conditions and expose other people. Reporter 74yearold Errol Eisinger of ft. Lauderdale agrees. If you could Say Something to them, what would you say . I would say just be aware of what is going on and take it seriously. Reporter hes part of the quarter of floridas population over 60. A concerning statistic in a state up until recently full of tourists. The governor has been criticized for not ordering all beaches closed. When people put out some of these pictures that were, you know, at the beginning of the weekend when cdcs guidance said 250 people is fine, time changed radically in 72 hours. We responded, a lot of local communities have responded. Reporter but Miamidade County didnt close all beaches until yesterday. Clearwater beach is closing today. We also found when it comes to young people, the reverse can also be true. Many say theyre finding it hard to convince their parents to change their routines. My dad is in sales. And hes a babyboomer, a gogetter. And last time i talked to him, he was still out moving and grooving. Reporter in the end, this weekend will be drastically different than the last. Some hotels are having to close due to lack of demand, and other hotels like those along the florida keys, they are being ordered to close starting sunday at 6 00 p. M. Tony . Thank you so much. Moving and grooving. Are you two moving and grooving . It is no fun to be chastised by your children, is it . Didnt your daughter Say Something my 24yearold got on my case. I was going to a gym. She was like, your gym is closing. Im like, yes, but its not closed yet. I have to say, message received. Then i look at the younger people. If youre not going to think about yourself, think about your parents or grandparents. Youre putting them in jeopardy. The federal government was wrong maybe about marijuana, but theyre not wrong about coronavirus. I was imprepsed that my daughter chastised me. What are they calling it, a boomer reducer . None of us want to be in that group. You dont want to be in that group. I hope mom and dad who are paying for generation zs trip its canceled. Vlad duhiers is looking at the stories youre going to be talking about today. Hes in his new york apartment. What have you got . Reporter hey, tony, whats going on . So obviously we are here in the apartment. We are not under quarantine. We are safe and sound. But were working from home like all of you. And while were working from home, we are tracking some of the stories we think youre going to be talking about including this the olympic flame is now in japan as the fate of the summer games remains up in the air.

I hope its not true. Do you feel that . I think we need to Pay Attention from that. Learn from that. Exactly. We get this question a lot. Were going to take caseys. What does it mean for pregnant women, coronavirus . Unfortunately this virus has only been around for a couple months. We dont have the longterm data to tell us a lot. So far it does not seem that pregnant women are more at risk or will suffer more severe disease. That being said, with other viral illnesses like the flu, for example, women who are pregnant can develop more severe disease. In addition, it does not seem at this point in time that pregnant time can pass the virus on to the baby. It has not been found in the am knee yachtic fluid or the breast milk. All the science is evolving and well need to look forward as we move along. A question from shannon on twitter who asked allergy season is here. Since it appears some have mild symptoms when infected by the virus, how do we know the difference between allergies and the virus . Some of the symptoms can overlap. First, think about the fact that with allergies, it tends to be more chronic. Lasting weeks or months. Maybe has changes with the environment. And allergies tend to be more the itchy, watery eyes, sneezy. With covid, youll have fever, shortness of breath, more of the dry cough. With allergies you may get a cough with post nasal drip, but less common. And more Systemic Systems with covid like the headache and muscle aches and fatigue. Takeout food delivery, overdrive right now. This is a great question from a viewer on instagram asking should we be concerned about our food sources and the people dropping them off . I think about this every night. My husband and i order in every night. One of the things you want to understand is so far theres been no evidence that covid can be transmitted through food or food packaging. That being said, if you want to take precautions, when you have the driver deliver or whoever is delivering, leave it outside the door. You can leave the money outside. You feel so rude. You can leave a kind note. Theyre probably happy. Yes. Theyre afraid of us. And then when you take the packaging in because we know there can be droplets on surfaces, bring it somewhere thats not in the area youre going to be eating. Discard the packaging. Take the food out and dont use the containers. Put it in your own and clean the surface where you put that down and wash your hands. Im using Hand Sanitizer as a light vinaigrette on my salad. Thank you very much. Eww. Okay. That sounds kind of good. Lemony. Ahead, jake carney will tell us what amazon is doing to as we head to the afternoon, a mix of sun and clouds.

Weve been talking about the heroic efforts of medical workers around the world. What caught my eye was something from israel last night.

Can we roll it . There it is. Thats tel aviv last evening. The lights going on and off. People cheering on their balconies. Very nice. The Prime Minister got into it, as well.

I miss them very much. Thanks for the tip, guys. Keep them coming. Please do. You know whats on my mind . Toilet paper. On a lot of peoples mind. You not think abouti inin it lately .

Were going to take a break for the coronavirus. We have an update on a legal battle in california, a death row there. An inmate thats captured worldwide attention including from pope francis and Kim Kardashian west. Kevin cooper is his name. Hes always maintained that he did not kill three members of a family and a guest at their house in 1983. Last year, california governor, thats gavin newsom, ordered more dna testing and new witnesses came forward who now tie the crime to someone else. Erin moriarty has been reporting on this case for two decades. She meets with cooper face to face in this weeks 48 hours. Reporter my first visit to san quentin prison to finally meet kevin cooper came shortly after hed learned hed get new dna tests. We were not allowed to record the visit. Cooper talked about his hopes that the test would prove what he has said all along that he was framed for the murders. Finding somebody to pin it on was very important, and kevin cooper was a convenient person to pin it on. Reporter kevin coopers attorney, norman heil the problem was they didnt have the evidence. Reporter coopers case has come into the spotlight in part because Kim Kardashian west, who also visited him, has taken up his cause, as well as New York Times columnist nicholas cristophe. There is enormous evidence that suggests three or four white perpetrators. I believe that there was evidence planted. Reporter cooper and his defense team hope that new dna tests of the evidence might reveal other suspects. They also worry that too much time has passed. This evidence was collected years and years and years ago. At the time, evidence wasnt handled very well. It wasnt stored well. Reporter and in fact a dna specialist and defense Attorney Says her worst fears were realized most of the dna and the evidence was too degraded for testing except for an orange towel believed to have been taken from the ryan family home. We have a single male profile that is not kevin coopers. Reporter and theres been another discovering a vile th vial turned up empty. It raises all sorts of questions in my mind. Reporter coopers defense team has also gathered more information. Collecting affidavits from five witnesses who tie someone else to the case. Now kevin cooper has a new plea for the california governor a full innocence investigation. He is somebody who believes in the truth and is willing to fight for it. Erin moriarty joins us from a studio in new york. Good morning. I remember you coming to the table at our Broadcast Center telling us about this story. This sounds promising. Reporter well, it does. Its been such a long process. You know, this case, this actual murder happened in 1983. When i went to see him in san quentin, id always talked to him over the phone but had never seen him face to face. It was so sobering because when theres a person on death row, you talk to them at a plexiglass box, literally. Youre not allowed to record it. I found him incredibly intelligent, well read, and amazingly optimistic that someday hes going to clear his name. Even pope francis has become interested in this case. As well as Kim Kardashian west, as we mentioned. Why is that . Reporter i can make it very simple because you have one man on death row and the early evidence all indicated that there were multiple assailants. The only eyewitness who lived through this said there were three men, white men i should point out. Also, the car that was stolen had three seats with blood on it. Three weapons were used. Anyone who looks at there case, whether youre a celebrity or not, you will think something is off. Very interesting. Youve been reporting on this for two decades. Im curious, has anything surprised you with the latest developments . Reporter oh, absolutely. I mentioned it in that piece, and well talk about it more tomorrow night. So they took blood, they may have taken two vials of blood from kevin cooper. Supposedly that should have been there. There was preservative. This year when they pulled this out, the vial, its empty. Of course, the defense has always said that blood was planted on the evidence so it looked so suspicious. That surprised me. No blood at all in the vial. Just residue. Lot of questions there. All right. Thank you. You can see erins report, the troubling case against kevin cooper, tomorrow at 10 00, 9 00 central on cbs. Ahead, a message of hope amid the fear and uncertainty.

Many churches and other houses of worship around the country will remain closed for services this weekend because of the pandemic. The Potters House mega church led by bishop t. D. Jakes is among them. The congregation with 30,000 members has suspended inperson Church Activities until further notice. Bishop t. D. Jakes joins us now from dallas. Bishop, its so great to see you. Thanks for being with us. Oh, thanks for having me, anthony. Faith and worship, so much of that is about community. How do we maintain community when were being asked to be in isolation . You know, i think its we have the extreme advantage of technology. So whether were streaming, whether year checking on people through facebook or instagram or twitter or what have you, were able to establish some level of community that we didnt have before. And i think we have to be intentional about being connected spiritually even if were not connected physically. The Surgeon General said the other day, bishop, dr. Jerome adams, social distancing does not mean social disengagement. So to follow up on what anthony said because youre a good person to call in time of need, what are the best ways that we can feel connected and still maintain social distancing . I think a lot of people are struggling with that. I understand that. I think its very important that, first of all, a lot of people are hunkered down with their families. And we dont spend a lot of time with our families. I think its a great time to reinstill your core values, to have some devotional or meditation during this time, to check on the people you love, whether you do it by phone or by text. We have to be intentional about readjusting our values and our priorities because were shut down for from work or what have you. That doesnt mean we dont have anything to do and to take on this take this opportunity as a time to engage with people intentionally that we normally dont get to spend quality time with. Its very important. Bishop, as wonderful as technology is, it really is no replacement for a warm human presence for meeting somebody in person. You can understand why some churches are open still and why some people still want to be going to those churches even if it means being in a group. Whats your message to organizations and people today . You know, every area is different. In texas we have a state mandate that not over ten people be assembled together. If they are assessmembled they to be distant. I think that we have to obey and follow the rules as they come down from our scientists, from our doctors or from our political powers and entities. But the fact that we dont engage physically, i know that thats a loss. Its a great loss for any pastor. Theres not any pastor that doesnt want to see his congregation. That does not mean that we cannot express love, that we cannot maintain some level of connectivity, and then be cognizant of the fact that this is going to pass over. This is a temporary circumstance. It may be longer than we like, it may be more difficult than we like, but we have to look beyond the breach of where we are right now and remember who we are as a people. Bishop, so many people are already feeling a financial strain from this. And im sure some churches are, too. What impact are you seeing at this point . Yes. You know, across the board it is difficult to maintain the kind of Financial Impact that we normally would have. And thats a problem because right now churches really want to embrace the community. Were feeding people, were serving people, were reaching out to people in need. And we help to keep some sort of equilibrium in the sociological fiber of our community. If we dont have the resources to do that, that becomes difficult. But weve been very creative. And weve been able to keep it going so far. And i think many, many churches, both small and large, we face different types of challenges, but we have been able to keep one another going so far. Well, bishop, at my house, theres nobody but me, myself, and i. Im getting on my own damn nerves. So what do you say to people i know youre a loving, kind man. What do you say to people when your loved ones are getting on your nerves . How do you navigate that . As happy as we all love each other. Thats when you use distancing as an excuse to retreat into your room and come back out when youre feeling better. You say the coronavirus is waking us up. What do you mean by that . Waking us up how . I think it is its caused us to rethink the tribalism thats been pervasive in our society today. How we have slipped into tribalism as it relates to politics, as it relates to race, as it relates to age. We have fought about just thought about just almost everything imaginable and have a common enemy. Theres nothing like a common enemy to bring about unity. I think its a clarion call to bring about unity amongst humanity. And also i think its a resurgence of faith because we cannot see. And we have to trust what we cannot see. And i think there is a resurgence and renewal that america and around the world is being called to reexamine our values, our priorities, and our faith. You say that believing in god does not mean that you negate common sense. Why is that so important . Oh, you know, i think its very, very important. Sometimes people confuse what it means to have faith. I think we still have to use wisdom, as well. And one does not negate the other. We can still believe god and still practice distancing. We can still have faith. We dont want to tempt fate. Jesus, during the 40 days in the wilderness, was offered by the enemy chances to tempt fate. If youre really the son of god, throw yourself off the cliff. And that type of mentality is not very helpful during this time. So we dont need people to teach the kind of faith to the peril and destruction of others. We want to use the kind of faith that unites us, that connects us, that builds continuity and love, not extremism. All right. Bishop t. D. Jakes, thank you very much. We hope youll come back and visit us when circumstances allow. Yes. Always good to see you. I look forward to it. We do, too. Thank you for having me. Have a good day. On our podcast, dr. Sue varma tells us how we can remain emotionally close while practicing social distancing. Before we go, how a familys Virtual Dance Party is lifting spirits around the country. Thats a dad dance for you. Yay. Well be ri this is a cbs news special report. Im kris van cleave in washington. We are about to receive a briefing from the president s Coronavirus Task force. Were expecting to hear that the administration will close the southern border to all but essential traffic. Earlier the deadline for filing your income tax returns was pushed back to july 15th. As we await the briefing, you can see a number of the Coronavirus Task force members and the secretary of state, mike pompeo. Weijia jiang, our white house correspondent, is on the north lawn outside the white house. What do we know about there wh reallea is an agreementrn h between both countries to try to contain the coronavirus. And there will be exemptions, of course, for essential personnel and trade. And the administration wants to be very careful here, not calling it a shutdown, and stressing that it is temporary because obviously the southern border, any time you talk about it, comes with a host of controversies. When we first broke the story yesterday, that is what we heard specifically, that it should not be characterized as a shutdown. Of course the president continues to get criticism despite what he wants to call it. Were also expecting to hear news about the defense production act which of course is that korean warera act that allows President Trump to compel Certain Companies to manufacture goods in a time of crisis much in this case it would be essential equipment that is sorely lacking right now for hospital workers. The president invoked that but now he plans to use it. Here comes the president. Had a very good telephone conversation, extremely good with senator schumer a while ago. Were working on various elements of the deal, and the democrats are very much wanting something to happen, and the republicans likewise are very much wanting something to happen. And i think it will. I spoke with at length with Mitch Mcconnell, and this tremendous spirit to get something done. Well see what happens. My conversation was very good with senator schumer. I thank you all for joining us. Id like to begin by providing an update on what we are doing to minimize the impact of the chinese virus on our nations students. With many schools closed due to the virus, the department of education will not enforce standardized testing requirements, very importantly, for students in elementary through high school for the current year. Theyve been through a lot. Theyve been going back and forth, schools open, schools not open. Its been all standardized testing and, you know, its were not going to be enforcing that. So i think you can let the people know. I think probably a lot of the students will be extremely happy. Some probably not. The ones that work hard maybe not. Its one of those things. Unfortunately, very unfortunate circumstance. Weve also temporarily waived all interest on federally held Student Loans. Theyll be very happy to hear that. And ive instructed them to take that action immediately. And today secretary devos has directed federal lenders to allow borrowers to suspend their Student Loans and loan payments without penalty for at least the next 60 days, and if we need more, well extend that period of time. Borrowers should contact their lenders, but weve given them strong instructions, so weve temporarily waived all interest on federally held Student Loans. Thats a big thing thats going to make a lot of students very happy. And we have more to come on Student Loans. More good news for the students. Well do that at a different time. This morning the Treasury Department also announced that were moving tax day from april 15th to july 15th. So were moving it out to july 15th so that people will have time and people will be able to hopefully by that time will have people getting back to their lives. Families and businesses will have this extra time to file with no interest or penalties. Were getting rid of interest and penalties. However, if you have refunds or credits, you may still file in other words, you can file early if you are owed money by the irs. Other than that, were moving it all the way out to july 15th. No interest, no penalties. Your new date will be july 15th. Today our team will also provide an update on our continuing effort to prevent the transmission of virus across americas borders, and i watched whats been happening in california with governor newsom, and this morning with governor cuomo. And i applaud them. Theyre taking strong, bold steps, and i applaud them. And were all working together. Were working very closely together, including those two governors. But i would say based on the call, the media was there, i think we can say that with respect to virtually every governor in that call, i think starkey i think every governor on that call, we can say that. We had almost all of them, if not all of them. And i would say that you could see for yourselves that the level of respect and us working together was extraordinary. There was nobody in gray, nobody upset. We were able to help then and thats what we are all about. We want to help. We are doing things that a lot of people wouldnt be able to do. But the relationship with governors and states is, i think, very extraordinary. Under the circumstances where this just came upon us. We are working with canada and mexico to prevent the spread of the virus across north america very closely. You heard what we did yesterday with canada. And secretary of state pompeo will be making a statement in a little while, having to do with mexico and the border and chad likewise, he will be making a statement. There is a joint comprehensive effort in collaboration with our neighbors to measure and all of those measures that we are putting in place will protect the health of all three nations and reduce the incentive for a mask a global migration that would badly deplete the Healthcare Resources needed for our people and so we are working very closely with mexico, very, very closely with canada. The relationship has never been better. We are all working for the same, toward the same goal. I nations Top Healthcare officials are extremely concerned about the Public Health consequences of mass uncontrolled crossborder movement and that would be mostly, and even beyond, but mostly during this global pandemic. Every week, our Border Agents encounter thousands of unscreened, embedded and unauthorized entries from dozens of countries and we have had this problem for decades, for decades. You know the story. But now, it is a national emergency, so all of the other things that we have declared, we can actually do something about it, we are taking a very strong hold of that. And we have before, but this is now at a level that nobody has ever approached. In normal times, these massive flows, placed a mask burden on our health system. They created a perfect storm that would spread the infection infection to our order migrant agent sent to the public at large, left unchecked, this would cripple our immigration system, overwhelm our Healthcare System and severely damage our National Security we are not going to let that happen. So, we have a lot of information and we will be discussing that in a moment. To confront these Public Health degrees, the centers for Disease Control and prevention is decided to exercise its authority under the title 42 of the u. S. Code to give custom as a border protection, it needs to prevent the transmission of the virus coming through both the northern and the southern borders, so we are treating the borders equally. The northern and the southern border, they are both being treated equally. A lot of people say that they are not treated equally. Well, they are. As we did with canada, we are also working with mexico to implement new roles at our ports of entry to suspend nonessential travel. These new rules and procedures will not impede lawful trade and commerce. Furthermore, mexico has taken action to secure our own southern border and suspended travel from europe. So, we are coordinating very closely with the air travel going to mexico and then trying to come into united states. The actions we are taking together with our north American Partners will save countless lives. At the conclusion of my remark, secretary is our, secretary pompeo, secretary wolf, we are going to be also taking some questions with tony and debra who youve gotten to know very well, but they will be discussing certain things and i think you will find them of great interest. Will be providing tremendous amounts of detail over the coming days but a lot of it will be provided right now if you would like to find out about it. It has been a week of resolute action come a tremendous action, tremendous relationships that have developed with people that frankly didnt get along, people that didnt like each other that now are working together and maybe even in some cases learning about each other and liking each other. It is a nice thing. The defense production act, and last night, we put in into gear. We moved the National Response Coordination Center to the highest level of activist, i mean, if you take a look at what we did, the level of activation has been increased to a grade 1 level, which is the highest level. We are providing historic support to Small Businesses and to the states. The states need support. Normally, they do this themselves but because of the magnitude of it, the federal government has gotten very much involved in terms of getting the equipment they need so we are helping them. It is a responsibility they have, but we are helping the states a lot. Thats why the governors come i think in every case have been impressed and very nice. We enacted legislation, paid sick leave, at no cost to employers. I think it is very important. They get paid sick leave at no cost to employers. Ilies. Throughout our country, americans from all walks of life are rallying together to defeat the unseen enemy striking our nation. In times of struggle, we see the true greatness of the american character, and we are seeing that. A lot of people are talking about it. Were at 141 countries from what theyre telling me, and some of those countries are really working in a unified manner, and theyre working very unified with us i can say, a good num
