S. , even with current social distancing guidelines. As sobering a number as that is, we should be prepared for it.

Obviously somebody put me up to this. This is generally not the kind of thing i do. Larry david urging people to practice social distancing, something he says he trying to do even when theres not a pandemic. Nothing good ever happens going out of the house. You know that. On cbs this morning. The shaq attack. Do you know hes a dend . Now hes djing in his kitchen. A makeshift concert for his sons and their friends. Announcer this mornings eye opener friended by toyota. Well see more of that shaq attack. It just makes you smile. Welcome from our house to yours. Out of an bundle to caution, were coming from our respective homes this morning. You heard us talk about social distancing. We are certainly doing that, as we hope you are too. But the most important things, as you know, is we continue bringing you the news throughout this crisis. That, of course, is where we begin. Anthony on this april fools day, i wish it was one big bad joke, but unfortunately its not. Its reality and its not good. And its getting more serious. We started here this morning, the white house is warning americans about a grim reality still to come. In a blunt press conference, president Trumps Coronavirus Task force says we should be prepared for another 100,000 to 240,000 americans to lose their lives before the pandemic is over. That is up 60 times thats up to 60 times the current death toll, more than 4,000 lives have been lost in the first month of the crisis. The vast majority just in the past week. Around 900 people died yet, setting another singleday record. Weijia jiang is at the white house. The administration has mostly touted success, but yesterdays briefing was markedly different. Reporter good morning. The president s previous attempts to downplay the virus, he says, was he was trying to be positive. But now hes being blunt. Its a matter of life and death. Reporter he warned americans the worst is yet to come. This could be a hell of a bad two weeks. Reporter the number of keyses have not peaked. Top Health Officials told people to prepare for the reality that 100 to 240,000 americans could guy, and thats with mitigating efforts we need to anticipate this, but that doesnt mean well accept it. They pleaded with the public to stay at home, and cap gatherings with ten people. Its inconvenient from a societal standpoint, from an economic standpoint to go through this, but this is going to be the answer to our problems. Theres no magic bullet. Theres no magic vaccine or therapy. Its just behaviors. Reporter just last week President Trump said he hoped d them the virus was not as bad as the flu. The flu in our country kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year. That was shocking to me. And so far, if you look at what we have with the 15 people and theyre recovering, one is pretty sick, but hopefully will recover. The others are in great shape. Reporter now mr. Trump is sending a very different message. A lot of people have thought about it. Ride it out. Dont do anything, just ride it out. Think of it as the flu, but its not the flu. Its vicious. Reporter new York Governor Andrew Cuomo says governors are still bidding against each other for medical supplies. Two weeks ago President Trump said states should try to get them on their own, but yesterday he said the government has 10,000 ventilators ready to go, but they are waiting to ship, because the surge is coming. They want to make sure to send the machines to the right places when it does. Gayle . Weijia, thank you. For more on theff in dr. Da. Dr. Fauci says dont get discouraged. We keep hearing its going to be another different couple weeks, which is also frightening. The projections are 240,000 americans could die. So my question is how do we not get discouraged . Why are the numbers jumping so high so quickly . We have had made an impact. With no behavior change, it could be millions dying. Many of us are, as youre doing now, staying in your home, social distancing, and really playing by the rules. Some are not. Some parts of theount tal to spup. There really needs to be a step up. States like florida and texas have to step up more. We all have to stop the spread and we will make an impact. We have to look at the medical care. Can we optimize it . Can other states learn from new yo york . Dr. Birx said theres no magic bullet, its just behavior. Do you think now we have to have a federal mandated law, where people are just ordered, this is what you have to do . Listen, this is my opinion only. The answer is yes. I think we need to get as a country we need leadership. The leadership needs to come from the federal government saying, hey, as a country were all going to step up, we are in this together. If a few people do the wrong thing, it hurts everybody. We saw that picture this weekend of a beach in florida that was totally empty, because that le. Theach. D nobodyano oon as you liyouee people lined up and smushed together. We cant have that. Your behavior affects your neighbor and vice versa. What do the new models show about the difference in cases between new york and new jersey, compared to other parts of the country . Well, you know, new york and new jersey, the United States is the epicenter of this virus in the country. New york and new jersey are the epicenter of the epicenter. People are smushed into subways and on the street before this happened, enabled pretty rapid spread. My hope is the same slopes dont happen. When you look at cities like los angeles and san francisco, just a couple weeks away they at the exact same point as new york city is now. So i think the started earlier distancing, and it works. It aint fun, it aint good for our pocketbook, but it works. We all have to do it and be very strict about it. You know, everybody keeps hoping treatment vaccine, what can you tell us about the latest treatments . Anything . Theres a study out yesterday from china where they randomized hydroxychloroquine versus standard care. It wasnt the best study. You can complain it was chinese doctors, and do we trust the data, but there was a dramatic improvement in the group that got hydroxychloroquine, and thats about all the data we have. I hope and pray the data in the United States comes soon, that we can learn from every encounter. I want to know whats working. Thats critical to flattening the curve. Thank you very much, dr. Agus. Tony . Very interesting hearing the doctor say there may be a federal need for a law requiring people to stay home. While the projection are scary, theyre not destiny. We have the potential to change that. The reports, particularly here in new york, some 300 people dead just yesterday, bringing the total here in new york city to 1700 new york state, rather. Mola lenghi, whats that ship in the hudson river going to be used for . Reporter good morning, the comfort will be used for noncoronavirus patients. Its fully equipped with a laboratory, a dozens operating rooms and a pharmacy. The state of new york has significantly increased the number of beds, up to 75,000, but given the rate this virus is spreading, he says we will very likely need twice that many. A grim sight thats b repeated outside several hospitals in the new york metro area, workers in brooklyn are seeing putting a corpse in a refrigerated truck. Hospitals across the city say the icus are nearly full. Its surreal, knowing im in a disaster zone in new york city. Reporter the governor says the peak could still be three weeks away. Were all in search of the apex, the other side of the mountain. We are still headed up the mountain. Reporter among the states new cases, the governors brother, cnn anchor chris cuomo. Scared, yes, as you might imagine. Is it surprising that more of us are testing positive than ever before . Reporter nearly 400 workers having tested positive. Were not actually able to do whats recommended to the rest of the country, which is stay at home. Reporter more than n nashvi tennessee, including clara summers, who just celebrated her 89th birthday. I could see her one more time. Reporter a see. The uss Theodore Roosevelt is in guam, nearly 100 infected. The captain said removing all by 10 of the crew is a necessary risk to stop the virus from spreading. You have very limited room where you sleep. Its like bisquing. Monicas daughter she yen is on board. Im not saying please send my daughter home. Shes in the navy, she can handle it, but at the same time, take care of your people. Reporter prisons have struggled to keep inmates safe. Nationally inmates will be contained to their cells for the next two weeks in order to try to stop the spreading of the virus. Gayle . All right. Mola, thank you. California has more than 8500 cases. The patients in intensive care has nearly tripled. Governor newsom says the crisis would be much worse if the state had not taken strong action. Our ana werner spoke with the governor. Reporter what does that data say to you . Its too early to judge it, but the reality is the state was quick to move on social distancing. As a consequence, i think some of those actions may prove fruitful. It meant locking down the bay area on march 17th, the entire state days later, all to slow the pace of infection, to give the state a Precious Resource time. What is it about the time that is so important . Times everything. Every hour, every minute of every hour, every day is a day well never get. Him, newsen says, was a chance to bring in more equipment. This week, thousands more medical personnel. Every single day is an opportunity to save lives. Thats what we have bought here in california. Thats what im currently focused on. Not the models. I want to prepare for the worst. Reporter Los Angeles County has not seen the worst yet, but already cases are under investigation at 18 nursing homes. At one home in San Bernardino county, two people have died, more than 50 are infected. Los angeles mayor Eric Garcetti is preparing residents for the long haul. This will last at least two months, could last a third. Theres not a life switch that goes on and life comes back to normal. Reporter statewide, nursing are protesting a serious shortage of protective gear. There arent enough ventilators, and the governor worries about something harder to fix. I worry most about fatigue. I worry that people say, you know what . We got this, lets have that Birthday Party and mix some of the extended cousins together. If we do that too soon, were in trouble. I talked about a parachute. Quite literally being in a parachute and cutting the cord before you land. No one in their right mind would do that. Reporter in this emergency, california is hoping for the softest landing possible. Anna werner, sacramento. This morning at least half of the 50 states have at least 1,000 coronavirus cases. Health officials, Health Care Workers are telling frightening stories of working without the critical medical supplies they need. One doctor at a chicago hospital gave our correspond david a look. We heard there was a doctor on the west side that started a gofundme page to raise money to buy personal protective equipment for his team. We interviewed the doctor while he was on duty in the e. R. There were other doctors attending the patients, no one went without care, but it was sobering to talk about whats happening at work and at home. Ive been an e. R. Doctor for 16 years. Ive been through the sars and ebola scare, influenza, um, this is the most scared ive ever been being an e. R. Doctor. Its no for me, its because i have a wife and a 2yearold and 1yearold at home. I dont want to expose them. Its hard when i go home i have to distance myself from my kids, sometimes my wife, and its always in my head. Like, did i wash my hands enough . Enough alcohol . Did i shower hot enough . I worry about my family. I cant see it. With the traumas and the gunshots i know its okay, i leave it at work. But this i cant. You are going to hear much more from the doctor in our next hour at 8 00 a. M. Youll hear from one of youre colleagues who walked in during our interview, what was brought into the e. R. During the interview and youll hear the doctor say what he thinking all of us can do to help them. Anthony . All right. David, thank you very much.

As you see, were coming to you from our homes out of caution over this coronavirus outbreak. President trump says following social distancing guidelines is, quote, a matter of life and death, and we are getting that message. He spoke yesterday as the white house made a grim prediction that up to 240,000 americans will die during this pandemic. Officials expect major spikes in the death toll during the next two weeks. Tony, goodness, that is news nobody wants to hear. Thats why it is so important to follow the rules. Yeah, thats right. This is a health crisis, but its also an economic crisis. Today is the 1st of the month. That means bills are often due. Millions of americans trying to make a decision how are they going to pay them, should they pay them . We remind you that the Federal Reserve bank of st. Louis, a federal economist, estimated that 47 million americans could lose their jobs as companies affected by the virus cut their staff. Millions have already lost their job. We visited one Small Business that had to cut most of its work force. And we spoke with people on both sides of that very painful decision. You know, i get it. This has never happened before. This has never happened before. Reporter dave anel gets why his company let him go. But when we visited his house last week, he still hadnt figured out what to do about it. April 1st, are you going to make a mortgage payment or not . Good question. We havent even talked about that. Reporter at the start of march, just four weeks ago, his company, corporate a. V. , washis spring. Joe guilderson is the owner. Before the virus, actually things were looking great. We were full steam. We had two probably of the best months weve ever had. Reporter ever. Yeah. We were on track for a full spring season. Reporter then the pandemic and bans on large gatherings. Every day i go to work, more jobs are being taken off the board. More jobs. More jobs. Then it was like, okay, now theres a problem. Now theres a serious problem. Reporter those jobs represented about 800,000 in revenue, roughly a fifth of what guilderson expected to take in this year. It forced a question facing Business Owners across the country with no money coming in and costs piling up, how many people to lay off. According to research by typic Small Business has less than a month of cash reserves to survive a situation like in. It was gut wrenching, to be honest. Not a lot of sleep the night before knowing what was going to happen. Reporter overnight, corporate a. V. Went from 20 employees to 6. What was it like to get the call from joe saying your position is not here anymore . I wasnt surprised. Reporter mo johnson had worked for the company for more than 20 years. You got to do something. My thing is, do whatever you can to save the company. Save the ship. Well swim to shore, save the ship. When we get back on the ship, we can go again. But if the ships not there, you know, thats the problem. Reporter what kind of severance package do people get. Not much. To be honest. We had a weeks worth of income basically to provide them. I think everyone in the group really said, listen, you got to keep this thing afloat. I need someplace to come back to. You know, and that i figure is my job. Reporter you still have one more check or direct deposit comi coming . Pretty much. Thats it. Reporter anel admits hes still processing the shock of losing his job and his familys health insurance. His wife claudia says they were already living paycheck to paycheck. If you could get a meeting tomorrow with leaders and n Congress Leaders in congress, what would you like them to know about what a family like yours needs . I think i would ask for a better sense of stability. Youre just constantly worried about like can i make this payment, can i put my kid, you know, can i get a doctor. Reporter even before even before. Reporter now it underscores how important those things are. Absolutely. Reporter yeah. What kind of situation are you in in terms of money in the bank . Same as everybody. I dont really have a lot of money. Reporter theyll get help from Unemployment Insurance and the stimulus package. There may also be power in numbers. With so many businesses closed and so many people idle, theres hope that out of work doesnt mean out of luck. As a nation, you know, they cant say, oh, these people were deenrats, we kick them at or take away this or that. Theres going to be some solace to it. So i believe that. Need to stop the mortgage payments. Need to stop all the phone payments. They need to stop all that for a couple of months. At least 90 days or something to have people object their feet, you know people on their feet, you know. Is it easier or harder to deal with this knowing theres nothing you did personally to cause it . I guess if there was a moral grounds that would be a victory. Unfortunately that doesnt help right this second. When you reflect on kind of what youve had to go to in 14 or 15 years to kind of build something up and help all the people you like to think youve helped, its frustrating. And that right threw is a microcosm of what millions of Small Businesses are goi no guilderson says he does hope to hire back the entire staff eventually, but it could take a while to ramp things up. This was supposed to be their busiest season, and instead theyre looking at business not picking up perhaps until the fall. Now anthony, i want to point out, this really matters for all americans because most americans, in fact, work for what is defined as a Small Business. So its also important to point out that there is help. So the federal stimulus provided for up to 10 million in loans as part of a Paycheck Protection Program for Small Businesses, and those loans are completely forgiven if its a plied to pay applied to payroll. Small businesses can find more information on line. The treasury saying that they will start approving and disbursing that money by this friday. Bun of the big variables is if youve already laid off all your staff and youre looking to an uncertain future, is it too late already. Yeah. Its so difficult for any Small Business to plan for any disruption, but one like this which is still open ended, we dont know when its going to end, its impossible. A lot of people are going to be going through this. Thanks. Ahead, how south africa is struggling to enforce some of the Worlds Toughest lockdown restrictions. Thats coming up on cbs this morning.

There are rising concerns this morning about the growing impact of the coronavirus in africa. South africa is the continents hardest hit country with more than 1,300 cases there. Debora patta visited one of the poorest communities, the township of alexandra in johannesburg. [ gunshots ] reporter south africa has some of the toughest lockdown regulations in the world. But enforcing them is not so easy. Here in a lowincome inner city area, Security Forces fire rubber bullets at those defying orders to stay at home. Shot after shot is fired as police clear the streets, the parks, anywhere people are gathered illegally. Go, go reporter Security Forces are taking no chances in south africa. Alcohol is banned, this place is suspected of selling it. Theyre cracking down. And the stayathome order has laid bare the enduring fault lines in south africa of poverty and race in places like alexandra township. Oneroom house, there is about six people or so. So its still the same. You cant expect people stuck in one om rter e policeman struleol crowd the arein l i t assist. That did not end well. Security forces have been filmed humiliating transgressors by making them do demeaning physical exercises. People line up to buy food, observing little of the social distancing protocols now in place. People dont seem to be aware. Look how close theyre standing. Thats the thing. It hasnt hit us because it hasnt happened its not so close to home. Reporter shes wrong. The worst fear is that authorities have already been realized, there is at least one confirmed case of covid19 in alexandra. At least 10,000 field workers have been deployed around the country to test for the disease. Authorities are terrified that if the virus is not contained, it could exact a far higher death toll than anywhere else in the world. For cbs this morning, debora patta, alexandra township, johannesburg, south africa. It is a pandemic of numbers.

Glad to im right above you. Whats going on . I saw the picture that gayle sent of all of us in the brady bunch boxes where we can look from side to side and up and down. Great. Good to see everybody. Like all of you, we are working from home. While were working from home, were checking out the stories we think youll be talking about, including this more than two dozen College Students contracted coronavirus after chartering a flight to mexico for spring break. At least 70 students from the university of texas at austin flew to Cabo San Lucas a week and a half ago. And once they got there, they realized after they left Cabo San Lucas that they, in fact, had contracted the coronavirus. And now theres a concern obviously that if they were anywhere near their family members, they may also have contracted the virus. Really big problem there. Yeah. Really big problem. And you know, mexico says that they believe that the students had the virus before they came to mexico. That they didnt get it in mexico. Theyre under a quarantine. Being monitored in texas. What this illustrates is how a Single Person can be an ember that starts a whole new outbreak, a whole new fire regionally. And thats why we all have to be ere looki at a ot now. Larry david. We love larry david. And larry david has a Public Service announcement for everybody out there. And let me tell you, it is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good. Youre passing up a fantastic opportunity, a once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in the house, sit on the couch, and watch watch tv. I mean, i dont know how you pass that up. Stay home, and and you know, dont see anyone except maybe if theres a plumbing emergency, let the plumber in, and then wipe everything down after he leaves. But that thats it. So larry says if youre out and about, if youre going about your business, you are hurting old people like him. I know. Larry david and i went to university of maryland. So we are fellow terrapins. I dont think were old people, larry david. We were there at different times, but i dont think were old at all. The problem is youre passing up a fantastic opportunity, a once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in the house, sit on the couch and watch tv. I recommend curb your enthusiasm or maybe cbs this morning. Just throwing it out there. Vlad, we hear a Country Music super couple has a special treat for fans. Were talking about, of course, garth brooks and trisha yearwood. The Country Music couple are putting on a concert tonight on cbs for their fans. Its going to be awesome. And i actually had a chance to speak to them about why theyre doing this and how they feel about the times were living in. Take a listen to it. Music is always part of the healing.

The former head of the cdc looks at the newest grim projection from the white house. Striking for safety, why workers for Companies Like amazon and instacart are walking off the job. And message of love. Some important thoughts on Mental Health from nba all star kevin love. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. The white house is warning we should be prepared for 100,000 to 240,000 americans to lose their lives. President trumps previous attempts to down play this virus continue to haunt him. He says he was just trying to be positive. Now he is being blunt. Do you think now we have to have a federal mandated law where people are just ordered, this is what you have to do. Listen, this is my opinion only. The answer is yes. We interviewed the doctor while he was on duty. It was sobering to hear him talk about whats happening at work and at home. This is the most scared ive ever been being an er doctor. The state of new york has increased the number of beds. Up more than 20 to 75,000. He says well likely need twice that many. Reached new extremes of how to seek out. Its tough being couped up at home, and one guy is going against the rules and sneaking out. But he is doing it dressed as a bush. It makes my day. This is hilarious. He heads out to a store. I wonder if hes going to the store, just doing it for fun. Back again. Got the kids out. Oh, my god. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Got to find your sense of humor wherever you can get it. Welcome to cbs this morning. Were glad to be with you this morning. Were coming to you from each of our homes this morning because like you, we too are practicing social distancing. Out of an abundance of caution. This is where we begin with the coronavirus. The white house is painting a dire picture of our immediate future during this pandemic. In a briefing yesterday, President Trump and his Coronavirus Task force projected listen to these numbers, that between and 240,000 americans could die from this virus. They forecast a spike over the next 14 days. Dr. Anthony fauci said he hopes the real number will be lower but thats only if full social distancing guidelines are followed. The white house has extended them through april. Around 900 americans with the coronavirus died yesterday setting yet another single day record in just a week. The death toll has jumped by more than 420 . Gayle . And thats why we are practicing social distancing and urge you to do the same. Thats the only way weve going to flatten the curve. Many medical professionals on the front lines compare the conditions they face to what its like in war zones. One chicago emergency room doctor spoke with our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud during a few chaotic moments during his shift. What did you see . I hear chaotic is the right word here. We had no idea the doctor was going to answer the skype call for the interview in the emergency department. There were other doctors attending to the patients in need. But what youre about the hear may be one of the most sobering and surreal accounts you have heard from the front lines so far. This is the most scared ive ever been being an er doctor. Its not just because of me. Its because i have a wife and a twoyearold and a oneyearold at home. I dont want to expose them. People say its our job. T not our job. Its our duty. Its what we signed up for. Thats an emergency room doctor on the west side of chicago. I deal with gunshots every day and trauma and crazy stuff. This is the only thing that scares me. Reporter how many patients do you see on a daily basis suspected of being coronavirus positive . 60 to 70 . Every day. Reporter we keep hearing young people are not as affected by this. Has that been your experience . You i intubated a 27yearold with no medical problems last week. Reporter he says people with being treated as if theyre positive for covid19. Doctors cant afford to wait the three days its been taking. We do deductive reasoning. If your white count is normal and their xray looks like covid19 and their influenza negative, its covid19. Well, we have another covid19 come in. Do you want to see the setup before it comes in . Please. Before we go in, we put on gowns. We put on goggles. We put on as much ppe as we have. Repts r respirators so we have them. This is becoming all too common. The box is right here. Reporter the physician protection box, as they call it heemhis wa im not in front of the patients mouth. Reporter protective gear is scarce here, he says . Ft. When we use them for a shift, we put them in a brown paper bag. Reporter the suspected covid19 thats coming in right now, hes coming by ambulance, i assume. How critical is he . Theyre doing cpr on him. Yeah. Theyre dying alone. Reporter and thats because they need to be isolated says this doctor who is using a respirator he got from his previous job and a filter that his father who works in construction gave him. How you doing . Frustrated. There was the cdc said we could use bandannas as a form of protection for ourself instead of masks. I have one in my pocket. Its frustrating like the government let us down. How are you doing . Thank you for asking. Im not well. Its not a joke. I want people to stay home. This is the real deal. Are they still performing cpr . No. Theyre dead. There was no time to even test that patient for covid, but the precautions were taken. The doctor says besides ppe, this is what they need. If you have a friend or a colleague or anybody you know Health Care Industry who is working the front lines, just send them a text saying thinking about you. God bless you. Love you. Thank you for what youre doing. Thats all we need. On behalf of a grateful country, thank you. Thanks, dave. Thank you. David, i was so struck with the doctor when he said no, theyre dead. The simplicity of that, and when he also said many times you dont take your work home, but you have no choice but to take this home. Its really overwhelming. Overwhelming to hear the stories. I want you to know they started a go fund me page to raise money to buy their own kwoi equipment. Theyve gotten money and bought it and theyre using everything from the painters masks to athletes goggles just to do the job daily, and they are exposed to this from the start to the end of their shift. We can all say thank you. Thank you, david. Thank you. Thats a powerful piece, there. Thank you, david. Thank you, gayle. Dr. Tom frieden was cdc director and is now president and ceo of resolve the save lives. One of the roles is to prevent epidemics. Dr. Frieden, good morning. I want to become with the harrowing projections from the white house. 100,000 to 240,000 dead of the virus. Thats just in this socalled wave of it. First question, does that sound right to you, and then looking ahead through the summer to the fall, how bad is this going to get . I dont know if we have a connection. Were going to work on that kwex. In the meantime, well take a tonya smoking damaged my heart. Now i have a batteryoperated heart pump. My tip is, stop thinking this can only happen when you get old. My Heart Failure happened at 38. [announcer] you can quit. For free help visit cdc. Gov tips edward jones is itswell aware of that. Et. Which is why were ready to listen. And ready to help you find opportunity. So. Lets talk. Edward jones. Its time for investing to feel individual. Ahead we hear from a former amazon employee who claims he was fired in retaliation after staging a protest. He says the company is not doing enough to protect workers from the virus. Tobegime losmy lif. And i do. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. Listen to the doctor. Take it seriously. Biktarvy is a complete, onepill, onceaday treatment used for hiv in certain adults. Its not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to and stay undetectable. Thats when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. Research shows people who take hiv treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. Rare, lifethreatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. Do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. If you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. Common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. If youre living with hiv, keep loving who you are. And ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you. So you can trust us to be here for you. As we remain committed to supporting our community. Because the toyota family is stronger together. This is our pledge. We are here for you now, and in all the better days ahead. To get back to normal again. For hospitals and at ctca, we arent waiting either.

Gov. Is there a better alternative to braces . Only invisalign aligners use smarttrack technology. It moves teeth more comfortably and predictably. And in many cases, it works faster than braces. upbeat music back dr. Tom frieden who as you may recall served as cdc director during the ebola and zika outbreaks. Good morning. I want to go back to those projections from the white house. 100,000 to 240,000 dead in just this socalled wave of the virus. The first question is how bad is there going to get, and would you advise the white house in the same way that the coronavirus advisers are right at this moment . Right now this is heartbreaking. Im in new york city where the number of deaths topped 1,000 just in a few weeks. Its a terrible tragedy, and unfortunately, it will get worse before it gets better. But each of us has within us the ability to do a lot to turn the tide on this. Theres much more that we can do as individuals to support the Health Care Workers on the front lines and each government needs to do to get ready for whats coming next. Dr. Frieden, would you be advising the white house now to consider a federal lockdown, keeping people in their homes . I think were missing the key point. Having people stay at home is only one part of whats essential. And it is essential. But the other part is to get ready for what comes next. That means Getting Better eyes on the virus, understanding where its spreading and how, it means strengthening our Health Care System, not only so that were ready for the desperately ill patients but so we can keep caring for people who have Everyday Health problems and managing those who have mild illness. And most importantly, perhaps, strengthening our Public Health system which weve underinvested in for so long so we can do the aggressive, proactive, supportive contact tracing, testing isolation, and quarantine that other countries have used to knock there down. We can do it if we work together. Dr. Frieden, a lot of americans listening to you are looking for some insight into when their lives may get back to some kind of normalcy. The white houses projections show the virus descending into the summer. Can we look forward to something in july or august thats almost like normalcy . Its not like the weather. We cant expect seasons here. We have the future within our power. Look at countries around the world that have been able to tamp this down and then gradually loosen the faucet and get back to a new normal, normal but a new normal, but not open the floodgates. What does that mean . That means that people who are over the age of 60 or who have underlying medical problems may need to stay home for longer. But we should be able to gradually reopen if we do the right things. Its not about the day, its about the data. Are we strengthening our Health Care System . Can we proactively find every infected case, every contact and isolate them properly . Thats what singapore, hong kong, places of china outside of hubei where it started, thats what theyre doing, and thats what we can and must do to reopen as soon and safely as possible. All right, dr. Frieden, thank you so much. An important reminder that those projections are not a for sure thing. We have the power to bend them down, and we are workinging to do so. Thank you again. Ahead, amazon workers protest over coronavirus conditions that left them without jobs. Well be right back. We made usaa insurance for members like martin. An air force veteran made of doing whats right, not whats easy. So when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. Thats how you do it right. Usaa insurance is made just the way martins family needs it with hasslefree claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. Because doing right by our members, thats whats right. Usaa. What youre made of, were made for. Usaa many delivery employees say theyre being underpaid and face unsafe working conditions during the pandemic. That led some workers to strike this week against amazon, whole foods, and the delivery app instacart. Ada diaz spoke to one amazon employee who claims he was fired in retaliation after staging a walkout in new york. The company says he was fired for violating a mandatory quarantine. I want to make sure i get this straight. All the managers at your facility were told that somebody well tested positive . Right. Reporter were you instructed as a manager to tell everybody that worked under you . No. It was like, keep it on the hush. Dont tell everybody. They dont want to cause a panic. They want to keep Business Operations running. It was crazy. Reporter amazon told cbs news they inform workers if theyve been exposed and need to quarantine for two weeks with pay. Theyre not care being this pandemic, this virus. Reporter chris smalls, among more than a dozen amazon employees to protest understand safe work conditions on Staten Island monday says the company isnt being forthcoming. What do your colleagues at this facility say . I mean, some people are afraid, but they still just i need the money, i need the money. Double time, its blood money. Reporter as americans rely heavily on services that help live remotely, Health Concerns and fair pay are paramount for employees who feel more pressure than ever to deliver. We dont have face masks. We ran out of those weeks ago. The cleaning supplies that they claim they have all over the place, we dont have those either. We do not feel safe working there right now. We are actually part of the problem and not part of the solution. Reporter this amazon employee who asked that we only call her by her first name, rachel, sorts packages part time at the companys teterboro, new jersey, facility. Blue blue reporter rachels a single mom and says she and her 1yearold son have a history of respiratory issues. She tells us there were rumblings about potential cases in teterboro more than a week ago, but onsite management had no answers. I did get the hearsay which i was told from a member of safety that i should take it with a grain of salt. I shouldnt listen to other people. I heard from a member of the executive team at the Corporate Office in seattle. She says, listen, your site said they are aware of the situation, written communication will be out shortly. There was no written communication, and until this day they have not had any written communication. And thats concerning. Reporter amazon told us that it communicated with teterboro employees as soon as they knew of a confirmed case, and that rachels allegations are not representative of the companys commitment to safety. Shes not convinced. You have to choose whether to collect a paycheck or our health. I want the company to truly put the health and safety of their employees first. Reporter chris smalls also claims that even after symptomatic employees are tested they can return to work while they await test results. Amazon says it tells employees to go home if theyre not feeling well and consult with a doctor. The company which also owns whole foods says its complying with all cdc and World Trade Center hegd organization guidelines. World Health Center organization guidelines. They say health and safety are a top priority. Gayle . Thank you. Ahead, well talk to nba star kevin love about his Mental Health advocacy and advice for people feeling isolated by the coronavirus.

Welcome back to cbs this thabringou some of the stories that are the talk of the table this morning from all of our different homes. Were going to share a story with each of you and with all of us, and thats how it goes where we each pick something that we really, really like. Im glad the segment stays because it is still one of my favorite in the show. Anthony, you should start us off. Mine, too, gayle. You know, all the major museums, like all of us, all the major museums around the world are having a really rough time right now. One of them which is closed for the coronavirus outbreak is making a social media challenge where life imitates art. Its really cool. Look at this the museum in los angeles wants people to recreate a work of art. I love that one. To recreate a work of art with objects and people in their home. The museum said its been flooded with hilarious recreations and shared some of them on twitter. The lady who imitated the harp with her vacuum cleaner hose was probably my favorite. Really great stuff. You know, its like the metropolitan museum in new york is forecasting it may not reopen until july. So its a really tough time for them. Theyre trying to stay engaged in any way they can with people out there. And thats a really clever way to do it. Tony, what have you got . Yeah. I love that, anthony. Im going try that later today. I hope estimate point when this is over we can put the pictures up on the wall and have an exhibit of the copy cat acted out versions of the artwork. That would be a lovely thing. I have a Public Service announcement for the parents out there and a warning to my 11yearold whos sleeping now when hes watching this, pay attention. If youre on a phone or a computer and youre playing video games, keepn on your kiddos because during the pandemic they can rack up some charges. Former nba player Kendrick Perkins told the show hoops dreams yesterday that he made a very unfortunate discovery on his credit card bill. Take a look. Quick story. I get my credit card bill. I go to buy something, the credit card declined. Im like, what i just paid it. Come to find out, i got 60,000 worth of fortnite bills on my credit card. How much . 16,000. And it was buying skins every day, whatever that is. I dont know what it is. I had to dispute the charges buying skins. Yeah. Declined credit card. That is a 14year nba veteran. Hes got money in the bank and went to the store, swiped the card, and they said no, you dont have it. He doesnt know what skins even are. What skins even are. Apparently they are very expensive. Keep an eye on your kiddos, warn them today. Gayle, one of his friends said, oh it sounds like discipline hour should be 7 00 a. M. To 7 00 p. M. After that happens. What do you think . Thats pretty funny. What i think is your credit card declined weve had that, we go, could you run that again . Its always a kind of embarrassing situation when it happens. Been there, done that. I something tells me theyre going to work that out. Speaking of basketball stars, my story is about shaquille oneal. Now we know shaquille oneal, hes a superstar, hes got a sense of humor. Hes known for a big heart. You might not know that shaq is also a fairly successful, we should make that very successful deejay. An Instagram Video he posted on monday, he held a dance party in his kitchen with his sons and nephew. Take a look. On the post shaq wrote dont be down, be safe. Love l. Oneal boys kitchen concert. Im thinking, anthony, its probably one of the few times an because everybody the kitchen understands the moment. I just think that we showed it in the eye opener, too. I think it so great fun. People finding creative ways to entertain themselves. It looks like that at my house right now, too, gayle. I assure you. Its a great scene. Which leads us into another basketball story. Which leads us into another basketball story. Basketball star kevin love is drawing new attention to Mental Health, a problem for Many Americans practicing social distancing, of course. Because of the coronavirus pandemic. One in five American Adults experiences some form of Mental Illness each year. The fivetime nba allstar has a history of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks. Hes become a spokesman on the issue. He joins us from his home in cleveland. Kevin love, good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. Thanks for having me. I appreciate it. You donated 100,000 to arena workers and several other players have followed suit. Why was it important for you to make that gesture . Just understanding that this is going to be such a tough time to navigate. It was actually the thursday morning after adam silver, our commissioner, had postponed the season. I was just thinking about, you know, how these people are so much a part of my story, our story as nba players. We see them at least 41 games, home games out of the year, as well as other events. And these are these are people that you start to develop a firstname basis with, a firstname relationship with. People that, you know, ive been in cleveland now six years, who i see every time coming into the game. Im giving them a bump. Asking how their family is. So just knowing that this is such a tough time to navigate is going to be such a stressful time. Anxiety ridden. Just the fear of unknown is going to be there so much. I was just thinking about all that stuff and thought it would be great to take care of the people who have been taking care of me and supporting me and the Cavs Organization for so long. So you know, i decided to donate to them, the arena workers, most of them i feel like are living paycheck to paycheck, not knowing when foods going to be put on the table, if theyre going to be able to take care of their families. So i thought it was super very important to take care of them. And then you saw the cavs stepped up and said that they would pay. The organization said they would pay for all the games, you know, that arent going to go on. A lot of the events that arent going to go on. You saw players stepping up and doing the same thing or donating meals, you know, committing money to the nurses and the doctors and several different hospitals. It just kind of took on a life of its own. I was incredibly happy to see other players step up and do something similar. It was really cool to see that. I think so, too, kinevin bravo to you. The fact that players saw what you did and followed your lead. Honestly, it says something about who you are as a person, as a man and how you live your life. Bravo, bravo to you on that. Thank you. Youve been outspoken about your own i mean that. Youve been so outspoke ben your own Mental Health issues and your own anxieties. How have you been coping during this time . For me just staying active and making sure that i have a routine. So much of the time when that is taken away from me, i think just by nature, being a basketball player, im so used to having that routine. Making sure im getting up early, im getting the proper nutrition, physically taking care of my body. And understanding what my Core Competencies are, my pillars in my life. I am always working on my relationships, checking in with friends and family, making sure that im, you know, while im social distancing, im not isolated myself. Im reaching out to my family, friends, doing constant communication. Using the devices here, you know. Even if its virtually just staying in touch with everybody, im making sure that im doing that. But just continuing to move. Thankfully i have a dog that forces me to get outside. So yeah, just Little Things like that that i continue to do. That certainly helps, kevin. Youd have to be made of stone to not be feeling a little bit of anxiety, a little bit of sadness right now. So whats your message to people who may be struggling with this cataclysmic event were facing . Yeah. I think its like i said earlier, incredibly tough time to navigate. And i would say, my would be its its normal to feel this way. The only way were going to get through it is together. Ive said since this started happening and we were having to isolate ourselves and quarantine that its normal to feel this way. The only way were going to get out of this is together. Like you know, human beings are so resilient. We will get through this. I think the worst thing that can happen is if we come out of this unchanged. We have to be able to change and be there for each other and be better. I do think there will be a lot of great things that come out of this. We may not be able to see it right now, and so much is changing every day. We dont know what life is going to look like after this. Let alone the Mental Health of a lot of people coming out of this. Nothing unites us like the common and the same enemy. I would say just continue to commit to everybodys going through something at this point and at this time. Just be kind. All right. And take care of the next man. Take care of the next woman. Kevin love, mr. Kevin lover, amen to that. Thank you so much. That is one the coronavirus is hurting inmates behind bars, and the subject of criminal justice is a vital subject for Kim Kardashian west. It all started with Alice Marie Johnson who was released in 2018 after she served 21 years of a life sentence for nonviolent drug charges. We spoke to Kim Kardashian west about her fight for change and her new documentary. Youd be surprised how many women who are in prison who are really broken women, products of abuse, they are victims, former victims of abuse, abandonment, know one believing in them. What i wanted to do with this documentary is take people along with my journey, how i started off with alice, nonviolent drug offender, to going into people that have done some really serious crimes. Realizing that their life doesnt have to be thrown away, that they do deserve a second chance. Alice johnson says kim went to war for me. Of all the cases, why did you decide to get involved with her . I feel like alices case really found me. I happened to be on my phone and saw a video that she did, like a video oped that she explained her story. She said she was would answer the phone and connect people, but she didnt know quantity, who, where, what. She knew it was something in regards to drugs. She was the phone mule, and she got a harsher sentence than Charles Manson did. And when i heard that, i thought, okay, that does not add up. This just is not fair. But kim, she got a harsher sentence than the drug dealers who were involved in the case. Yeah. Exactly. And that to me just blew my mind. That started to unravel how our system works. It doesnt make sense to me. And. Yes. Lets talk about that word, fair. What does that mean to you in this particular case . If she did something that was not following the law and of course she should do time. But what is that sentencing time . And so for me, realizing that they lock up black and brown people five times more than white people, and i am rising mixed kids, to me that becomes really personal. I think people should see the work that you put into it. You go to the prisons, you meet with the inmates, you meet with their attorneys. Why are you doing this .
