In a fourweek span, more than 22 million americans filing for unemployment claims. Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren officially endorsing former Vice President joe biden for president. If he asked you to be his running mate, would you say yes . Yes. U. S. Navy now says iranian vessels tried to harass american war ships in the north arabian sea. Dangerously close. All that. The running back going for a touchdown, until splat. What a hit by the linebacker. And all that matters. The irs started sending out stimulus payments. The irs is scrambling to pay you. Tables are turned, irs. I hope you enjoy making a sweaty lastminute appointment with your cpa alan farcus to help him claim your working litter box as a working farm.

I love that we got a threemonth extension. The one yearr we finally had tie to sit down and actually do our taxes on time. Basically, the government is hoping that by midjuly, everyone will have received their stimulus checks and can turn around and send them right back to the irs. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. As you wake up in the west, welcome to cbs this morning from our home to yours. Hey, anthony, does jimmy kimmel have a point there . Easy come, easy go, gayle, right . We all know how that works. Yep, hes got a point. I was thinking that, too. You see like many of you, were staying in and hope you are, too. Its so important, as you know. You also know this. You can continue to count on us to bring you the news that you need during this crisis. We are all very happy to do that. We begin with this. The coronavirus pandemic has had a staggering impact on working americans. The new numbers this morning really reinforce that, anthony. They sure do. 5. 25 million americans filed unemployment climbs last week, gayle. According to the Labor Department that brings the total number of people asking for jobless benefits in the past four weeks to roughly 22 million. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger is with us. Whats significant about these latest numbers . Well, those 22 Million People, boy, that is staggering. It happens so quickly. As you said, over four weeks. The previous high level for four weeks of data was 2. 7 million americans back in 1982. So were talking eight times that. Were also now realizing that 1 in 8 americans in the labor force is actually sidelined. And thats just an awful thing to consider. This is clearly all pandemic related. We should also really be clear that this should taper off. But its widespread. Yesterday we had a retail sales report. And this doesnt even include services. But you could almost go down category by category and understand where these unemployed folks are coming from. Of course we know from the Restaurant Industry where theres been huge layoffs down by 27 . But check this out. For apparel, its down 50 from a month ago. Jill schlesinger for us, thank you very much. President trump is getting pushback on his potential timeline for reopening the country and getting people back to work. A lot of people waiting on that. The president could unveil his administrations strategy later today beginning with areas that have the smallest number of infections. Mr. Trump wants to reopen parts of the economy before the end of this month. Some Business Leaders are balking at that timeline and the president s own Health Officials say the country still needs more testing. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. Good morning, tony. So far theres been no reaction from the white house to those unemployment numbers. But yesterday the president insists that the u. S. Has passed the peak in this outbreak even though his own medical experts say they need more testing before we can begin to reopen parts of the country. Later today the president will have a call with 50 state governors, and he is expected to encourage a handful of those states to begin easing social distancing. Governors are looking forward, theyre chomping at the bit to get going. Reporter the day after the highest u. S. Death toll, President Trump said it will soon be time for parts of the country to reopen. Theyll be safe. Theyll be strong. But we want to get our country back. Reporter the white house hinted that it may start in nine states, each with under 1,000 cases of coronavirus. But on a call with the president s new Economic Advisory groups, Business Leaders stressed the need for more testing before they feel comfortable reopening. Many governors and Public Health experts agree, includiding dr. Anthony fauci in an interview with cbs news. The success or failure of that rolling Reentry Program as i call it would be the capability of being able to test, identify, isolate, get someone who is infected out of circulation. Reporter amidst the pandemic, the president waded into a new political fight, threatening to Adjourn Congress so he could push through nominees for vacant government positions. I will exercise my Constitutional Authority to adjourn both chambers of congress. Reporter that constitutional power has never been used, and democrats said it was yet another way to divert attention from what they called his failed response to this outbreak. Its a distraction. Hes doing this as a way to distract us from the topic at hand. Reporter the constitution does not grant the president absolute power to Adjourn Congress only the authority to step in if the house and senate cannot agree to do it themselves, which is not the case here. The president even admitted yesterday if he tried this it would likely face legal challenges. Gayle . Paula, thank you very much. As americans hope to get back to normal, experts say we need more widespread diagnostic testing for this coronavirus. First on cbs this morning, our medical correspondent dr. Tara narula spoke to a Government Advocate who thinks the government could be doing more. Were still not where we need to be in terms of testing for covid19. Reporter thats the warning from dr. David skorton, president of the association of american medical colleges. Its echoed in a letter he sent to the White House Coronavirus task force this week calling for more federal involvement in the testing process. We were not ready for such a big, big deal as this pandemic has become. Reporter according to the covid tracking project, more than 3. 2 million tests have been run in the united states. Thats enough for less than 1 of the country. And it falls short of what experts say is needed to reopen america. The American Enterprise institute estimates 750,000 tests per week are needed. Other groups put that number in the millions. As reported infections continue to rise, many testing sites across the country are being met with long lines. One site in miami closed after 90 minutes monday because it already reached capacity. I was very frustrated. In fact, after i got off the phone with them, i tried. Reporter and americans say theyre still having trouble with testing access. Searcy farrell was denied testing five times even after her doctor recommended one. She was concerned about her mother who is immunocompromised. If my mom wakes up and cant breathe and ive got to rush her to the emergency room, i need to be able to tell them, im covid positive. Reporter what has been the biggest mitigating factor in terms of simply scaling up testing. It hasnt been one thing, but because there are probably between 20 and 30 very specific things that are needed to report each individual test, there is a slightly different bottleneck in any of those Different Things that we need. Reporter lab corp can perform 55,000 to 65,000 tests per day. Chief medical dr. Brian cavanaugh says they want to increase that Testing Capacity if possible. We need to have every one of those supplies in the right amount so that we can go through our Lab Specimens and process them as efficiently as possible. What types of problems do we face if we do not ramp up testing quick enough . In order to understand the basic substrate that were dealing with, the basic number of people who have it, whether or not they have symptoms, we have to be ready for extensive testing. We cant just pretend were going to go back to business as usual. Dr. Tara narula reporting on why testing is so important. The National Death toll from the virus has risen sharply in part because of how victims are counted. That number is now up to around 31,000. That includes more than 4,000 new yorkers who were never tested but did show symptoms. Meanwhile, some americans, including these protesters in lansing, michigan, are losing patience with social distancing. In new york, the rules are actually getting stricter. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in new york city. What exactly is changing . Were going to have to start Wearing Masks now, anthony, especially when we walk into food markets. New yorks governors saying if you cant socially distance, then you are ordered to wear a mask. And other cities are already doing it like los angeles. Speaking of l. A. , the mayor there has said he intends to most likely cancel all largescale events through next year. That would include concerts and sporting events. Back here in new york, the governor says, look, the one tool i have right now to control the spread of the virus is a mask. But the one tool i really need even more than that, and youll hear it again, is widespread testing. We cannot do it without federal support. Reporter Governor Andrew Cuomo insists that largescale testing in a state the size of new york is not possible without the help of washington. Weve only done 500,000 tests. You are talking about a state with 19 Million People. Reporter but theres outrage bubbling elsewhere in the country over stayathome orders. This shutdown has become one of total insanity. Reporter thats the mayor of las vegas, carolyn goodman, pointing out that nevadas death toll has been less than half of 1 of the population. Shes demanding an end to the states lockdown. It makes no sense. For heavens sakes, for being closed is killing us already. Reporter protests in michigan over the governors strict isolation orders clogged streets on wednesday. The governor says she understands people are angry. I just urge you, dont put yourself at risk. And dont put others at risk either. Reporter meanwhile, Smithfield Foods in south dakota is reportedly the biggest covid19 hot spot in the country with 644 cases coming from a now closed pork processing plant. The u. S. Secretary of agriculture sonny perdue tweeted wednesday that hes doing everything he can to get the plant back open and minimize disruptions to the nations food supply. In colorado, 21yearold cody lister is the youngest person to die from coronavirus in the state. He got up one morning and he had to go to school. He had to go to grand junction. Grand junction is four hours from where we are. And that is when we actually called for the ambulance. Reporter he was on a ventilator and eight days later, he was gone. In florida, gerald and arli Arline Polinsky died the way they lived, together. They wound up at the same hospital. Their soninlaw david wrote in a facebook in a scene befitting a storytale ending as his body was being moved out of the room, the doctors told us that she noticed and she said, together, gerry, and then she was gone. Reporter the polinskys were married for 64 years. The story of cody reminds us of how haunting this story is. Codys father tested positive for coronavirus. His mother had all the symptoms and is a diabetic. Neither one of them needed hospitalization, yet cody dies at 21 years old. Tony . David, you can really understand peoples economic frustrations but this is a health crisis. Stick with that health crisis, the coronavirus has been especially deadly for one of americas most vulnerable populations. People in Nursing Homes. In a disturbing new development, were learning an overwhelmed facility in new jersey put 17 bodies in a morgue that was only big enough for four. Jonathan vigliotti reports on nationwide concerns. Reporter the Canterbury Rehabilitation Center in richmond, virginia, is one of the hardest hit facilities in the country. Medical director jim wright has lost 45 residents. We have been fighting a battle with covid19 for the past month now. And it is a battle that, at times, we feel were losing. Reporter its a grim scene repeated across the nation. Prompting governors in several states, including massachusetts, and florida to deploy the National Guard to run tests. Experts say the lack of mandatory testing for residents and employees, staffing issues and a shortage of personal protective equipment are the biggest problems. Nurse Sherry Martinez asked us not to identify the california nursing facility where she one of the things ive been doing is getting garbage bags and putting them over my arms. Reporter federal officials are also facing criticism for not publicly tracking infections and deaths in these facilities. We reached out to every state, but only got complete data from 19. We also included county data and information from facilities themselves. Officials confirmed more than 35,000 seniors and staff have tested positive. More than 5700 have died. It sounds like our most vulnerable, the elderly, are sitting ducks in these facilities. They are. People who work there are the most underpaid. I used to call the ugly stepsisters of the Health Care Industry because we dont pay enough attention. We dont pay the nurses aides enough. Reporter some employees presumably fearing for their own safety are refusing to come to work. Last week at the magnolia rehabilitation and nurse strategy in riverside, california, only one nursing assistant showed up forcing the county to evacuate 84 residents. Donna rennos husband was a patient there. Ambulances lined up ready to take everyone out and get them out of that facility. Reporter don renno tested positive and is now running a fever. Just have to hang in there and hopefully everything will be good for everybody. Reporter renno tells me after her husband was evacuated from this facility, it actually took more than a day to locate him. She had to call her local police department. The centers for medicare and medicaid which oversee these Nursing Homes now working with the cdc to increase their reporting. How that will happen, what numbers we can expect still unclear. Gayle, meanwhile, we are going to continue calling those states, state by state. Thank you for that, jonathan. Weve got to figure out a way to do this better. Thank you so much.

Stay well and keep it golden. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Americans began receiving federal stimulus checks this week, but the federal government is running out of money to help Small Businesses cover payroll during this pandemic. Cbs news has learned that officials have already approved at least 338 billion in Paycheck Protection Program loans. Congress allocated 349 billion. The Trump Administration says unless more money is authorized, it will have to stop processing the loans. The latest reports on unemployment indicate millions more people have filed claims for jobless benefits in the past week. Theres no surprise there. Most of us are living under some form. A stayathome order. These restrictions are putting a huge strain on the countrys economic health. In our series on the financial fallout from the coronavirus, we follow a dollar through the economy to see why many economists think the bottom could be a long way off. With so Many Americans stuck inside these days how are you . Very few of us are spending money like we used to. Thats especially true for the millions of people now out of work. What happens when theres suddenly so much social distancing with our dollars . I work for cbs. Were doing a story on the economy. If i keep my distance, can i ask you a couple of questions . All right. Cool. Last month, Denise Milhouse lost her squljob as a home health ain brooklyn. Im not spending money because i dont have no way to pay my rent. Reporter do you have a favorite spot . Apollo on j street. Reporter apollo . Yeah . We walked over to her favorite diner where she normally spends about 200 a month. Owner Mike Misiriotis says hes worried that without income from customers like denise, his business wont be able to survive. Shed love to continue spending money with you, but she lostler job, so she cant. I completely understand. Shes in the same boat. 10 or 20 of my other customers have told me every day. Reporter do you think in the way that denise is one of those customer thats means you cant go on, you for somebody else are one of those customers, means they cant go absolutely. Theres no way i can ever recover from the economic hole im in. The rent that i owe. The mortgage payments i owe. Im fixing my business. My distribution bills. My utility bills. Its either that or chapter 11. Reporter among the cutbacks, hes no longer spending hundreds of dollars each month at a nearby Hardware Store where a manager told us business is down at least 30 . Cascading losses like these bouncing from a Home Health Worker to a Hardware Store illustrate how one persons spending is another persons income. When that spending dries up, the Ripple Effects can be endless. What are you drawing . Reporter in collegeville, pennsylvania, we found a similar chain starting with gina katona. Two members of her family are now out of work so shell have to put off plans to fix her broken down car. I was saving up to try to get it back. I couldnt even afford to have it towed. Before the shutdown, before they lost their jobs. Now that they lost their jobs, its never going to happen. Reporter when her funds dried up, the local auto mechanic, ryan miller, lost his shot at a payday, too. If im losing income, then i have to start cutting back on any inventory i hold which will, in turn, affect the different local part companies. Reporter Companies Like bobs auto parts where miller would normally spend up to 2,000 in a month. Not this month. That impacts owner Debbie Dibattista along with the people who work for her. Ive had to make tough decisions, unfortunately lay off employees. Its daunting. Its a challenge. Reporter every layoff is an individual disaster but also part of a widening national crisis. As economist hank eskin has witnessed, cash connects us all. Have you in your tracking had bills travel to every state in america . Oh, yeah. Every state, every county in the country. Reporter his website, wheres george, allows people to track the spread of money through the economy using the serial numbers on bills. He says since the virus struck, hits on wheres george are down about 50 , suggesting circulation is down, too. The Ripple Effect will probably last im guessing a generation or probably two generations. Long after, you know, were gone, its still going to be recovering from this. Reporter for now, Debbie Dibattista says the stress is hard to bear, but theres solace in knowing shes not bearing it alone. Its not easy because its no ones fault. My employees did nothing to deserve this. That repair shop did nothing to deserve it. It the woman whose car broke down did nothing to deserve it. Everyones working hard, and its not like youre the only one. Youre isolated. Talking to other businesses, others people helps you feel like everybody has something in common. Like this is something that were all kind of united together to try to get through. Yeah. We really are all connected by this. And by the way, debbie there, the Auto Parts Store owner, shes offered to donate parts to help fix gina katonas car one link up the chain. She says anything she can do to help people like gina she knows will ultimately help her and help her employees recover by kick starting the cycle of business, anthony. Yeah. Lot of charity out there, tony. I think according to one survey i saw, nearly three quarters of americans say their income, their income is lower because of this. So this just it just ripples out so quickly, as you showed in that story. Yeah. And you know, it occurs to me that whats really important there is that some americans who are in a position to keep on spending, ive been hearing from people who say, you know, im still paying the hair salon, im still paying the gym because i can do it, and i know they need it. I love hearing stories like that. If there are people out in their communities who are seeing that happening, go to our facebook page, let us know. It brings us all together.

Two new york City Hospitals tested more than 200 women admitted for delivery, whether they showed symptoms or not. The results published just this week in the new england journal of medicine revealed nearly 90 of the women who tested positive showed no symptoms at all. Our Nikki Battiste is 37 weeks pregnant, almost there, what did your doctor tell you . Reporter gayle, good morning.

If were not checking, we really do risk missing people who are carrying the virus. Im 37 weeks pregnant. If i come in and test positive, would you recommend separating my newborn from me . For a mom whos asymptomatic and feeling well, we think there are ways to potentially keep them together to allow for some of the bonding.

Its a reminder that all over the country, there are people doing dangerous and dirty jobs to keep the rest of us in civilization as we know it. We appreciate it. I understand theres a soap maker honoring people on the front lines of this pandemic . Whats that about . Reporter along the theme that you were talking about, tony. Dangerous jobs. I saw this a couple of days ago. I wanted to share it with everybody. Dove is out with a powerful new ad that is shining the light on all health care heroes. The campaign is called courage is beautiful. It shows nurses and doctors with marks on their faces, bruised from the protective gear that they wear day in and day out. Dove says the ad is meant to recognize the Incredible Health care workers on the front lines and to raise awareness for the realities of their heroic daily acts. Dove also says, gayle, theyve made a 2 million donation to go toward ppe for Health Care Workers on the front lines. Kudos to dove, whether theyre talking about the shape of your body, the color of your skin, your age. They always do great, great work. Thats just another example of that. I always believe in the power of love, vlad. Youve got a perfect story about that, too, i hear. Reporter exactly. Love is all around, all you need is love. All the classic love songs. Check this out. An 88yearold man came one a crafty way to show this love letter to his wife at her nursing home. So nick avtges wanted to deliver the message reading i love you, sweetheart, giving new meaning to the beyonce song love on top. He arranged a bucket crane to lift him to his wifes thirdstory window. Shes the one he loves, shes the one he needs. The massachusetts facility is prohibiting visitors due to the pandemic. Avtges was happy to talk to his wife and touch his wife through the screen. They have been married for 61 years. Look at them. Yeah. They just celebrated their anniversary in february. And i love this because it was actually it was actually their son, nick, who the father nick had been sorry, son chris, nick had been visiting his wife almost every day in the nursing home before this all started. And his son went on facebook and reached out and said, i need help getting my dad to see my mom. And it was a tree service in watertown, donaldton, yes, donlin service said weve got a bucket lift for you, they made it happen. I love that story. Aw. Its so wonderful. So wonderful. I love that, too. Look at these two. Anthony, your sons name is nick. Your sons name is nick, anthony. Thats very good. Thanks, gayle. All right. Thank you so much.

Good morning i am gianna franco. If you are headed to work, hitting the roadways. Southbound 101 at spencer we had an Early Morning accident thats cleared. Things are moving at limit up to speed along 101. Also we are getting reports of an accident. So keep that in mind if you are going around there. Look at traffic along the golden gate bridge, not bad at all. In fact, an easy ride into the site. Most of the bay area bridges are checking in problem free. Not a lot of accidents right now. So thats good newsch if you are on the roadways, san mateo bridge is chore in breath directions as well as bay bridge. No delays here. Traffic is light. And just a heads up, there are continuing changes to public transit. As bay ferry made changes earlier this week. Check the schedule before you head out the door. Locks gloomy out. This lets check in with mary. Its gray start to the day. We have those clouds and it indicates changes with onshore flow kicking back in. So temperatures today, as we head through the afternoon a. Little cooler compared to yesterday. So not quite as warm. And still above average. So here we are live look with the Treasure Island camera. The clouds, and temperatures are running in the low to mid 50s at this hour. So heres what to he can expect. Inland, i think you will see a mix of sun and clouds. See little sunshine. Partly sunny. And around the bay, the coast, you will see mostly cloudy skies. So the clouds hanging around for you. Much cooler friday and into the weekend. San francisco 66. 75 in san jose. Its its thursday, april 16, its thursday, april 16th, 2020. Timeline controversy. Concerns mount over the president s push to reopen the country. Well ask gary cohn about the cost of opening too soon. Social distance diaries. In their own words, americans share stories of hope and struggle during the pandemic. And you nighted front. We talk with start Bernie Sanders in his First Network interview since he endorsed joe biden. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Mr. Trump wants to reopen parts of the economy before the end of this month. But some Business Leaders are balking at this taimeline. The president will have a call with 50 state governors and hes expected to encourage a hand full of states to ease social distancing. How do we get to the point where we are testing the numbers of people that the experts say we should be testing . The issues are building stronger lab platforms, the ability to run the test and fixing the problems on the supply side. We have to wear masks now. Especially when you walk into food marts like the one behind. The governors orders says if you cannot maintain a social distance, youre required to wear a mask. The centers for medicare and medicaid is working with the cdc to increase reporting. How they do so and what numbers are made public at this point unclear. There could be other strains later. This could come back in the fall in a limited way. This is covid19, not covid 1. Its called covid19 because it started in 2019. Not because its the 19th covid. This eye opener is presented by toyota. Now we know the story behind covid19. Thank you very much, trevor noah. Tony, did you know it was 19 because of 2019 . I knew that one. Yeah. I did know that one, but more importantly, we now know the story behind blink 182. Welcome back so cbs this morning. Were following the guidelines to stay home as much as possible and we hope youre doing that. Were going to begin with this. President trump is expected to lay out new guidelines for reopening parts of the country very soon. So hes calling the governors of all 50 states this afternoon to discuss medical and Business Leaders say more testing is needed before people can return to work. Yesterday the president insisted again, though kr, though, that has the power to overrule governors on this issue. If were not happy, well take strong action against a state or a governor. If were not happy with the job a governor is doing, well let them know about it. As you know, we have strong action we can take including a closedown. Meanwhile a new study finds people may be most infectious before showing symptoms. Chinese researchers say subjects have the highest amounts of the virus just as their symptoms begin. In our series on the financial fallout from the coronavirus, were looking at the economic pain and how to get america back to work. This graph shows just how bad job losses are compared to the last 50 years. Its expected to get worse as layoffs continue. Gary cohn is President Trumps former chief economic adviser and director of the National Economic council. He served as president and chief operating officer of Goldman Sachs, including during the last recession. Thank you for being with us. Thanks for having me, anthony. You, gary, as we just said, the president wants to get the country up and going by the end of the month. Health experts, some are saying this may be premature. If you were still running Goldman Sachs at this point, would you be comfortable sending your employees back in a couple of weeks . So, anthony, remember, the ultimate decision to reopen businesses are the businesses themselves. Theyre the ones that shut down first. Businesses are responsible for two people. Theyre responsible for their employees, but theyre equally responsible for their clients and their customers. If i were still in private business running a large organization, i would be working on a very detailed plan to open up in some way, but in a highly segmented faction. I would have my employees separate in location. And i would have them very segregated in times when they came to work. And i would keep those different groups separate. So if i had a group that came in on monday morning, they would never see the group that came in on tuesday morning, and the monday Morning Group might come back in on wednesday morning. So you really have to think through a highly disciplined way to bring your employees back to work. So youre thinking of this as a very slow and deliberate process over how long a period of time would you think . Well, were going to have to respond based on a reinfection rate. If we see no reinfection, we can speed up the process. If we see reinfection come back into the system, well probably slow down the process. Were going to have to take our clues from the disease itself. Covid19 is going to be the answer. Well, gary, as you know, nearly 17 Million People have filed for unemployment claims. Todays numbers add to the tally. What do you think success looks like, pro coronavirus . What are we going to be dealing with . So gayle, look, the American Population has done a very good job listening to the government and staying at home and removing themselves from the work force and removing themselves from the economy. Thats been very important to flatten the curve and weve had better results than we once forecast. Thats really good. Now we have to think about restarting the economy but not restarting the infection cycle. And thats important. So i think a successful return would be very methodically bringing people back into the work force in smaller groups and seeing what happens. Making sure people dont become reinfected. And if we have a reinfection rate, slowing that back down or stopping the reemergence in the economy. The worst thing that could happen would be for us to throw everyone back into the Economic Cycle and have to go back to having 97 of our people being told to stay home again. Were much better off to go through this slowly than quickly and have to stop again. Yeah. The stimulus checks are allegedly going to have Donald Trumps name on them. The word is its being report had its going to delay the checks. The white house, of course, denies that. But do you think its a good look for the president to have his name on the check, and is a 1200 check enough . So gayle, what is important is the payroll Protection Plan. The payroll Protection Plan that congress put in place was a very, very important plan. This was a plan put in place to make sure that hardworking americans received a paycheck. Received the paycheck that they deserve. They deserve that paycheck because they were told as good citizens of this country, do not go to work. And the businesses that they work for were forced to shut down, and the government wisely has said look, instead of going on unemployment, stay attached to your business and were going to send you a paycheck as youre working so you can support your family. You can buy your groceries and your other essential goods you need. Thats whats important. That program, unfortunately, is running out of money or may have run out of money last night. Its imperative that Congress Come back and replenish that program. Gary, youre saying we basically we cant throw enough money at this situation. In some respects, we cant. In some respects, the mistake would be to not throw money at the program. We will have plenty of time to figure out how to get pay for this and get the money out of the system. But telling people to stay home and not giving them the amount of money they need to support their family, buy their groceries, buy their essentials and pay their rent would be a catastrophic mistake, and forcing everyone on unemployment would be a bad mistake. We need people to stay attached to the companies they were working at prior to the crisis so they stay attached and know once we start going back to work, theyll be in touch with their employers. Their employer will be able to tell them hey, youre coming back to work on this day, and we wont have to go through a rehiring cycle once we try to reopen the economy. All right.

Former democratic president ial contender Bernie Sanders tells cbs this morning he believes the vast majority of his supporters will back former Vice President joe biden even though many, including sanders former press secretary, say they wont. In his First Network tv interview since endorsing the Presumptive Democratic nominee, the vermont senator spelled out the issues where he expects joe biden to adopt a more progressive stance. On day one of my campaign, what i said is that if i lose, i will be there to support the democratic nominee because it is absolutely imperative that we defeat donald trump, who in my view is the most dangerous, irresponsible president in the modern history of this country. An argument against donald trump, but making the argument for joe biden is a different matter. To defeat donald trump to me and make sure that he is not reelected is enormously important. So if you want to make the point that joe bidens views are not mine, no kidding. I think everybody in america knows that. I made a list of some of the things that have been central to your campaign, and i hope youll let me know which of these could be part of a biden administration. Universal health care is a biggie, free college for all. Canceled college debt. National rent control. A ban on fracking. A wealth tax. Marijuana legalization. A 50 reduction in the prison population. These are all things youve campaigned on that have made you popular. Joe biden doesnt support any of them. Which do you see him moving on . Well, i think you will see him moving on making public colleges and universities tuition free for families earning less than 125,000. Not where i was i wanted more. I think his views on Climate Change are not my views. But i think he is prepared to invest many hundreds of billions of dollars into Sustainable Energies like wind and solar, and in the process create a lot of jobs. I think on health care, he is not an advocate of medicare for all, as i am. But i think hes prepare today to come forward with some ideas. Has he promised you anything . Well, we have talked about a number of issues. You will see those evolving, coming out i believe in the next weeks and months. Joe biden is going to need every vote that he can get. How do you improve on your 2016 record to make sure that my 2016 record was a fine record. In this house rights here, ive got a couple of letters from Hillary Clinton thanking me for the very strong support that i gave her. I did rally after rally, state after state. Look, the issue is that the American People are going to have to make a fundamental decision. Im going to play a role in that. Do we come together to defeat somebody who is a pathological liar, somebody that does not believe in the rule of law, somebody who is prepared to give massive tax breaks to billionaires and ignore the needs of working families, or do we elect joe biden as president . I think the choice is pretty clear. I imagine you will be fundraising for joe biden you know, we will decide on what were going to do with fundraising. All i would say is that were going to do everything that we can to make sure that donald trump is not reelected. How do you campaign in the midst of this pandemic . Should there be conventions . Can you have rallies and the late summer maybe nobody can predict. The last thing that we want to do is to do anything which gets more people sick and kills more people. That is the last thing that we want to do. So i think that whether or not there will be a convention remains to be seen. I dont know, nor does inbound else, when rallies will be taking place, when candidates will be able too be able tohs and talk face to face. I think its indisputable that this virus has exposed how medically and financially fragile many sectors of our society are. Thats right. In that tragedy and our response to it, do you think society may reevaluate the need for the policies youve been arguing for for 30 years now . The answer is yes. Theres a pandemic, the economic collapse has exposed the fragility of our Health Care System and our economy in terms of protecting working families. That is a lesson that i think Many Americans are going to learn from this. We also asked senator sanders about other concerns some supporters have including a Sexual Assault allegaion against joe biden. His accuser reportedly filed a Police Report last week. Now claiming biden assaulted her in 1993 when she was working in his senate office. Published reports indicate her story has changed over the years. Bidens Campaign Calls the allegation, quote, untrue, and says the alleged incident, quote, absolutely did not happen, closed quote. Heres what Bernie Sanders had to say about it. One of your most important allies, alexandria ocasiocortez, said recently she thinks its legitimate and relevant to talk about Sexual Assault allegations against joe biden. Do you agree . I think its relevant and to talk about anything. I think any woman who feels that she was assaulted has every right in the world to stand up and make her claims. Do you think that should weigh significantly in the mind of i think that she has the right to make her claims and get a public hearing, and the public will make their own conclusions about it. I just dont know enough about it to comment further. All right. So as you can see, guys, it was a wideranging conversation. In addition to all of those topics, i also asked him about joe bidens pick for Vice President , who that should be, and Bernie Sanders told me hell leave it up to joe, but he hopes that it will be as progressive a choice as possible. Yeah. Were all waiting to see what thats going to be. Ive found tony, lets go back to the first part of the interview when you asked him about fundraising. I found his answer very interesting on that. It didnt sound like a, yeah, i cant wait to get out there with or without this pandemic. Did you take anything away there that from that answer . Well, the fact that hes not right now committing to fundraising for joe biden tells me that that might be a point of leverage for him to try to get some of these ideas that are not part of the biden platform into that platform before the election. All right, guys. Ahead in our series a more Perfect Union, well show an Airline Pilots moving display of gratitude to health care heroes. Youre watching cbs this morning.

Solving Critical Issues as they arise. Go to xfinity. Com prepare. Thank you. As the coronavirus dramatically impacts the nation, weve asked some fellow americans to keep a daily diary of what theyre going through. Joan inman is an art historian from alabama. Rebekah tchouta is a suburban atlanta therapist. Shes been offering free sessions to Health Care Workers on the front lines. Christine savoie is a Louisiana College student. She recently started a nonprofit to make face masks, go, christine. And martin gruse is an emergency room nurse from detroit. Heres a look at how theyve all been holding up. My scrubs on, mask and my shield. Here we go. Ive got my children around me. Weve got singing going on in the back, and my daughter is doing her tae kwon do class virtually. Im glad that im doing my part and that i can help others with it. Especially since the cdc recommended that everyone who goes out in public wear a face mask, that leaves it to people like me who hand sew masks to produce these masks for everyone else. I worked on the patio which has become one of my new offices if the weather is nice. This is my very tired and overworked assistant thor. Also today, i took a very long nap which has become the normal which i love but also is probably not the best habit. Im an e. R. Nurse at the only levelone Trauma Center in detroit. I just worked the past two days. I think you can see in my face, im tired. And the reason im tired is because myself and my friends, my coworkers are taking care of very sick people. My daughter just walked in on my doing this and said that sometimes i feel like you care about your work more than me. Thats tough. This whole situation has made things interesting. So i am headed to the grocery store. Kind of anxiety inducing, not just because of the virus but because some people are really racist. And i was going to get into that now, but i think im going to wait. I know the infection can live in your body for up to two weeks, so i feel like a ticking time bomb because like my dad falls into the highrisk factor since hes over the age of 60. What if i were to accidentally pass it on to him . Because of that, im going to limit going home to my parents. Now were doing a driveby at my mom and dads. How has this changed your daytoday life . Not too much. I never did anything before, and im doing even less now. So with Asian Americans being discriminated against right now, and its disherenting that people disheartening that people let their fear get the best of them and to allow themselves to be ugly to other people because they dont know how to handle what all of us are facing right now. So right now im making my very first post on my new page called sewing with savoie. I hope it works. Here are my kids playing some blocks together. Todays been a little harder than others. My 2 1 2yearold is starting to get a little stir crazy. Typically on a wednesday, im off and i go to play hockey. Guess what, that aint going to happen. But its good news to my dog, jasper, because now weve got the hes got the morning with me. Jasper, up, up. Up, up. There we go. Mufasa. My partner and i, thor, went to the park, which is probably the happiest i am during the day. I woke up, and the page that i started yesterday basically exploded. The people that are messaging me are like nurses or theyre the parents of nurses. Here are the masks. Thank you so much. Yeah. Thank you for your donation. It means a lot. I have lost my hours at my main job due to covid19, and im on my way to interview at another place and hopefully be able to pick up a few hours. My partner mike was laid off today. He had worked there for 12 years. So it was a huge blow today. Ironical ironically, it also rained today. So didnt get a whole lot done. I was going to plant my beautiful lilies that i bought on saturday, but was unable to do that. Here we are at the local parish. I cant wait till those doors open again. I think that were collectively suffering, and i think when we collectively start to experience the same thing there is a certain kind of bond that happens. So yeah, well see where it goes for here. Boy, we thank you all for sharing those diaries. I think it just shows, again, the struggle is real. I dont care where you live, what you do and how you do it, its very difficult. And part of the problem, too, is that none of us know when this is going to end. At least if we knew there was an end and what that was, you could mentally prepare. But its so hard, you cant even prepare. Yeah. And that piece beautifully put together and a reminder for me that this virus is hitting the two places that people care about most their health and their finances. If you dont have those in order, its hard to pursue happiness in this world. And as we just saw, this virus, this pandemic is ripping through those two parts of peoples lives. Its a scary thing, anthony. Yeah. We heard people, you know, talking about losing work as weve been talking about in this show. So this is still coming at people. Its not just we dont know how long its going to last, but its coming at us in waves. Its really tough stuff. All right. You can hear more of cbs this morning including extended interviews and original content on our podcast. Next, our a more Perfect Union series shows a moving expression of gratitude for Health Care Workers. Well be right back. Everyone is working a little differently now. So we can still answer your calls. And we are monitoring our system 24 7 to ensure that we have a fast reliable network, keep the customers connected, and making sure people are staying safe.

In our series a more Perfect Union, we aim show to that what unites us as americans is far greater than what divides us. This morning, a moving expression of gratitude for Health Care Workers at Dulles Airport outside washington. United Airlines Pilot jim crail fought back emotions after learning some volunteers in the battle against the coronavirus were on his flight. Kris van cleave shows us the inspiring moment. I really, really appreciate and thank you for what you are willing to volunteer to do. Reporter with his voice cracking and his mind on his wife, debbie, a nurse, United Airlines captain jim crail wanted to say thank you. We have quite a few folks who are going to get on this airplane to travel down to the tristate area to volunteer to help as medical professionals. Id like to ask all of you, would you please stand up. I know my wife would be totally embarrassed if i asked her to do that [ applause ] reporter a cell phone recorded as he thanked some of the 15 who had volunteered to go to new york to help treat coronavirus patients. Here are these people that are willing to risk everything to go to new york to be able to help sick people in a time of dire need. Thank you to these heroes going to do this in new york city. Reporter united and other carriers are giving free flights to medical personnel including this group of 20 volunteer doctors and nurses from u. C. San Francisco Medical Center who went to new york saturday. Just the simple act of saying thank you meant a lot to people. That was that was what it was for me. Now that its out it goes to every one of those people who have been willing to run toward the danger instead of away from it. [ applause ] reporter people worthy of all the thanks you can fit into the biggest airliner you can find. For cbs this morning, kris van cleave, washington. That is so great. You know, the word hero gets thrown around a lot. What these people are doing is truly heroic. Ive said it before, but i hope when this is all over, we have like a ticker tape parade for Health Care Workers in this city, gayle. Oh, anthony. I think that is such a great idea. No hero that we know ever wants to claim the title. But they are certainly that. I talked to a doctor the other day, and she said we call this the 9 11 of medicine. What they see and what they do on a daily basis and continue to go back into the hospital, we are all forever grateful for that. The struggle is very real. Very much. Bravo to that. I want to say a special shout out to joe long who did that last piece on social distancing, the diaries. Those pieces are very hard to do when were all working from home and dont have all the bells and whistles. Its very difficult, but somehow we are making it work. And bravo, bravo to the team, and bravo to the people sharing their stories. We appreciate it. Before we go, a moment of hope during this time of uncertainty. A florida woman, i love this, used an unconventional method to deliver a very heartfelt message. I just want you to know that i miss you, and i love you cant wait for this show to be over. That, ladies and gentlemen, is tracie evans. Dont we love tracie evans, guys . Yes, we do. We sure do. She was using a megaphone. Dont we, tony . Shes using a megaphone to her. This video has been viewed more than 13 million times. Evans says her message was not planned. That she could not help it when she was looking out the window and saw her neighbors from a distance. She just wants everybody to know to stay home, to stay safe, and she cant wait to hug her friends soon, tony. I love this. Yeah. I love that. Between between that megaphone and the old guy in the cherry picker saying i love you to his wife inside, i think there shows been a reminder that there is more to admire in one another than there is to dislike. And this virus, while its tearing us apart in some ways, is also pulling us together. And there are ways you can triumph over it with a megaphone, with a bucket lift. Absolutely. Even though, you know, i think of us as as human beings, im sort of scared of people because were all sort of human weapons, if you will. That said, we still crave the human connection. We are really tactile people. Its so nice when we can figure out a way to connect. You said it best, tony, a while ago, that just because youre socially distanced doesnt mean you have to be emotionally distant. Ive never forgotten that. I think its very well said. That will do it for us. See you tomorrow on cbs this morning. In these uncertain times, look after yourself, your family, your friends. But know when it comes to your finances, we are here for you.
