Their life was taken away from them. Rallies to end stayathome orders were held over the weekend. Its the facts of life. We live and we die. So to shut down the economy because of that is its insane.

Great to see elton. So many people showed up. Really special. Yeah, yeah. Gaga said nobody said no. From our homes to yours, we hope you had a decent weekend under the circumstances and that you are staying safe. For those of you still providing the essential services, we thank you, thank you, thank you. This is where we start this morning. The white house and many state governors are clashing on two fronts today over the coronavirus testing and when to ease the lockdowns. Over the weekend, america surpassed 759,000 reported cases of this virus. The reported nationwide death toll is more than 40,000 and thats nearly double what it was a week ago. Despite those terrible numbers, gayle, the economic strain is driving some americans to protest stayathome orders. But there are questions about how the rallies consisting largely of the president s supporters were organized. Manuel bojorquez is in miami. We understand florida is already moving to reopen nonessential businesses. Thats right, anthony. Some florida beaches are slowly starting to reopen as the state considers how it will get businesses here back up and running. Lets show you some time lapse video from saturday. It shows people flocking to a jacksonville, florida, beach after it reopened. But florida, like many other states, has seen its covid cases increase up more than 34 in the past week. Many of those protesters across the country say for them, this is about civil liberties. But at the end of the day, a lot of it is also about jobs. And as the lockdowns linger, the demonstrations continue to grow. Usa usa snmt. Reporter in san diego, demonstrators showed up waving flags, holding signs, voicing the same demands. Its not fair to the rest of us that dont have covid19. We all need to get back to work. Reporter and with no social distancing in sight, protesters in wisconsin numbered in the thousands and had a united message. End the lockdown now. In denver, colorado, yesterday, demonstrators swarmed the State Capitol building. An apparent counterprotester blocked cars by standing in the street. In texas, which is set to start reopening state parks today with some businesses partially reopening friday, people ignored social distancing to demonstrate. Usa usa reporter President Trump weighed in on the protests during his sunday white house briefing. People feel that way, you are allowed to protest. They feel that way. I watched the protest and they were all six feet apart. It was a very orderly group of people. Reporter although less vocal, it still appears the majority of americans are not in a rush to lift stayathome orders. A new poll from the Pew Research Center showed 66 of americans say they are afraid of social distancing measures ending too early, including a majority of both democrats and republicans. After ravaging cities, cases of covid19 are spiking in rural parts of the country. Oklahoma saw nearly 32 increase in the last week. Arkansas, more than 39 in the same time frame. There was a more than 82 jump in iowa. The state saw its largest single day increase on sunday with most of those cases from workers at Meat Processing plants. And south dakota, site of the shuttered smithfield pork plant, saw a jump in cases of nearly 124 last week. Former fda commissioner dr. Scott gottlieb on face the nation yesterday says the crisis, especially in areas outside major cities, is far from over. You see the superspread of situations as you saw in south dakota. So i dont think anyone is out of the woods right now. Reporter some of those antiquarantine protests are possibly being organized by conservative progun activists. Facebook tells us that unless the government prohibits those events, it will continue to allow them to be organized on facebook. Tony . Still very small protests in the scope of the very large country. Manny, thank you very much. Governors with stayathome orders say they are eager to lift them as well, but not until theres enough testing to know if its safe. Theyve been looking for federal leadership on that issue. Weijia jiang is at the white house for us where the latest tensions between states and the president. What are you learning . Reporter good morning. As the administration continues to face backlash for not having a National Testing strategy, Vice President mike pence has a call scheduled for later today with all the governors to talk about their plans and supplies. Public Health Experts say testing would have to at least triple the current rate before the country can open safely. The governors wanted to have total control over the opening of their states. But now they want to have us, the federal government, do the testing. Reporter President Trump said it was not the responsibility of the federal government to conduct tests. Testing is local. You cant have it both ways. Testing is a local thing. Reporter but governors say they need the administrations help. I cant do an International Supply chain. And thats where the federal government has to help because no state can do that. Reporter marylands republican governor larry hogan says theres simply a shortage of equipment. To try to push this off to say that the governors have plenty of testing and they should just get to work on testing, somehow we arent doing our job, is just absolutely false. Reporter dr. Deborah birx says coronavirus tests data is crucial. And pointed to what florida has posted on its Public Health website. Theyve been able to show their communities cases and tests, district by district, county by county, zip code by zip code. Thats the kind of knowledge and power we need to put into the hands of american people. Reporter after weeks of calls from state and local officials, the president on sunday announced he would use the defense production act to force companies to make more swabs, essential parts in testing kits. And in short supply. This is what its about. Reporter but other resources are lacking, too, like reagents. A critical chemical to complete the testing process. Were fighting a biological war. Weve been asked by the way as governors to fight that war without the supplies we need. Reporter despite calls for help from officials on the ground, mr. Trump pushed back. Reagents and swabs are so easy to get. Reporter of course, the other big component to this pandemic is the economic fallout. Later today, lawmakers are expected to announce a deal that would allocate another 300 billion to Small Businesses after the first round of aid for more than that amount ran out in just two weeks. Plus an additional 100 billion is expected to go to hospitals and testing. Gayle . Weijia, thank you. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says today his state will begin what he calls the most aggressive Antibody Testing program in the country. Cuomo says new york can conduct up to 2,000 Antibody Tests per day to determine who has been infected. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook joins us with more on that. Lets start with the Antibody Test. There are two different kinds. What are they, and how are they different . Well, the two different again, remember, the antibody is to see whether you have been exposed, whether you perhaps have protection. Its not to show whether you have active infection. Thats the pcr, the nasal and throat swab. The two Antibody Tests are the traditional elisa which we have similar things for measles, mumps, rubella. Its not a hard thing to do and tells you the degree of antibody you have. The other is a more rapid test that looks more like a pregnancy test and you see whether theres a line there or not. Theres a control that says its working and if theres a line horizontally it says, okay, you have an antibody. Doesnt tell you how much antibody. So who can get the test . Everybody wants to have that test, right . I think theres not anybody in the country maybe a couple who dont want to have it. They want to know that cold i had six weeks ago, i wonder if that was coronavirus and whether i may have some degree of protection. Right now its slowly rolling out. I know my sister is up near saratoga, and she said there was a facebookbook posting where people were lined up to wait for this Antibody Test over the weekend. The reason for that is that we have had this friction between, do we save the economy or do we try to handle covid19 . You can get your arms around both if you find out you have antibody and were exposed. When its possible theres a big asterisk. Were not sure how protected you are, but then you can consider going back to work. That still has to be worked out. Do you have any concerns about the accuracy of the test . Absolutely. So at the very beginning, there wasnt that much control. A lot of them, dozens and dozens got rolled out. We know there are false positives and false negatives. I heard of one that tested positive just if youve been exposed to any member of the coronavirus family. Remember, the coronavirus is a family of viruses, and about onethird of the common cold is a coronavirus. So the last thing you want is a false positive or false negative. Its better to have no test than to have an inaccurate test. The fda is really jon, realistically. There are only a handful. Realistically, jon, do you think we can go back to life as normal without an effective treatment or vaccine . Im wondering what you think as a doctor when you see the protests that are clearly not practicing social distancing. Yeah. I think that its going to be a new normal. Unless until we get a vaccine that we know is effective. Thats the ultimate backstop. Thats about a year away, and were not sure. Theres no guarantee its going to work. Until then, the reason why we need this testing, which is both the pcr looking to see if you have the infection or the antibodies to get our arms around it and find out who has it, who doesnt have it, and we can try to slowly reopen parts of the country. Without that, we really are not going to know what were doing. Were going to be driving blind. All right. Jon, thank you very much. Tony . Thanks, gayle. It all comes back to testing. Overseas, a new series of arrests in hong kong is adding to concerns that governments are using coronavirus fears to crack down on human rights. The u. S. Is criticizing china after Police Detained leaders of hong kongs protest movement. Holly williams reports. Reporter 15 of hong kongs prodemocracy leaders were arrested in a single day. They joined with millions of other hong kongers last year demanding that china give them full democracy. One of those taken by police was jimmy lai, a wealthy newspaper owner. We interviewed him for 60 minutes at the height of the demonstrations in october. If we dont fight, we will lose everything. What do you mean lose everything . When you lose the freedom, you lose everything. China wants to crush this prodemocracy movement. Nip it in the bud. Keith told us the virus provided an opportunity for a crackdown. The virus has really gotten people off the streets. I think thats probably given a window for the government to go out and start arresting people. Reporter protest movements around the world from baghdads anticorruption demonstrations to Greta Thunbergs school strikes have been effect ofly silen silenced by the virus. Emergency powers mean hungarys Prime Minister can now rule by decree indefinitely and thailands leaders an censor and shut down media. The arrival of coronavirus was an authoritarians dream. It gives them an excuse to ban political rallies, gives them an excuse to crack down on the media. Reporter the question is whether when this crisis is over, citizens will be able to regain the freedoms theyve lost. For cbs this morning, holly williams. We have more news not related to the coronavirus. Canada is reeling from the deadliest mass shooting in its history. At least 16 people were killed when a gunman reportedly dressed like a Police Officer went on a weekend rampage across central nova scotia. The suspect is also dead. Errol barnett shows how the violence unfolded. Reporter authorities in canada say the 12hour shooting rampage began in a rural town late saturday. And ended at this gas station around 30 miles away. Witnesses described hearing gunfire and police later said the suspect was dead. Its just something that i never ever expect to happen here. This close to home. Reporter the gunman, believed to be 51yearold gabrielgab Gabriel Wortman tried to make his car look like a cruiser. The impact of this will extend from one end of the province to the other. Reporter the victims were shot in several locations, including inside and outside of a home. Fires were also set. Police have not yet released a motive. Countless families are in mourning today. Reporter among the dead, heidi stevenson, a 23year veteran of the Royal Canadian police. The mother of two was killed while responding to the scene.

It would be the first major u. S. Department store chain to fall victim to the economic fallout from the coronavirus. Meantime, after some backlash against large publicly traded chain restaurants, shake shack is returning a 10 million lope it got from loan it got from the federal governments Paycheck Protection Program. Thats because it is meant to help Small Businesses. The Company Earned nearly 600 million in 2019. The ceo says its returning the cash to help restaurants that need it the most. So whats interesting about this is the definition of a Small Business is 500 or fewer employees. Most people in america work for one of those. Shake shack qualified because it has under 500 per location. And a lot of big chains were able to qualify that way. A lot of people were outraged. Its great that shake shack is doing this. It remains to be seen some other big chains will do this. Ultimately, you know, i just hope that this money goes to companies that are able to save peoples jobs as a result of getting the funding. At the end of the day, thats what we all need right now is jobs being saved, jobs being kept. Yeah.

But days passed with no improvement. Our daughter broke down a couple times just crying and she said i just want my daddy home. Reporter after hearing about the promise of plasma therapy, it was his wifes mission to find a plasma donor and she quickly found a match on facebook. Three days after the transfusion. We love you, you hear us . We love you, dad. Reporter he woke up from a medicallyinduced coma. Hes crying . Oh, baby, i see you. We love you. Youre going to beat this. Reporter hes now able to talk and is expected to go home today. Its my last night at the hospital. Reporter the treatment gives sick patients the antibody rich blood plasma from recovered patients. One donation can poshlly treat up to three infected patients. We need to do the Clinical Trials to know when, if and how to use it. Reporter this doctor has been studying antibodies for over three decades and says while more Research Needs to be done, it shows promise and history is on its side. The first nobel prize in medicine was given for the discovery that you could treat a disease with oiantibodies. It was used in the 1918 flu epidemic and more recently in the sars outbreak in 2003. Reporter he says timing plays a huge role in the success of a transfusion. We think you get more bang for the buck if you treat people early. Reporter these brothers were preparing for the worst after their 76yearold dad was hospitalized for over three weeks. Were down to the time where were asked to possibly say goodbye. And even looking for the funeral policies and the policies during this period. Reporter they turned to facebook for finding help for a donor. Reporter were you nervous about trying something that was experiment experimental . No. Our dad was headed in a downward spiral. This was our own shot. Reporter craigs High School Friend turned out to be their savior. It cant be more rewarding. Whether you know them or not, youre saving a life. Reporter shortly after the therapy, their dad slowly showed signs of improvement, and over this weekend, news that he could be coming home soon. Successes like the one we had today give us hope that maybe were onto something here. Reporter how do you think your father is going to hear when he finds out about the tremendous effort you put forth to save him . Proud. I think thats the only word i could think of. We acted as one. I mean, i think hes going to be proud of that. And doctor tara narula joins us now. These are encouraging stories but not everyone is as lucky as these families have been in finding donors. Why is it so difficult to find them . Reporter well, before this pandemic there really wasnt a fully functional system in place. Thats evolving realtime. One of the other issues is that the demand really outweighs the supply. We have lots of people who are still sick, still recovering. So the situation will be different in a month or two. And then weve talked a lot about the testing. Logistically in order to donate, you need the documented positive test and the documented negative test. We know how hard its been to get testing at all for any part of your illness. And lastly, if you want to donate to somebody that is a friend or family member, you also have to have the same blood type that has to be matched. All right. Some progress, though. Thank you so much. Ahead, well check in with seth done. He is finally able to leave his home in rome after testing positi its best we stay apart for a bit, but youre not alone.

The coronavirus pandemic is dramatically affecting everybody including us here at cbs news. Last month, cbs news Foreign Correspondent seth doane told us about testing positive for coronavirus. He was quarantined in rome with his husband, andrea. Well, were very happy to tell you that seth is feeling better. He just got his second negative test result. Yay. He joins us from his home in rome. Seth, it is so good to see you. You know, weve talked to many people who have different reactions to this virus. Heard people say it was aching like they never felt, hit by a truck, shakes and sweats. Others say i took tylenol and went to bed. What was your experience like, and what does feeling better mean for you . Reporter well, gayle, feeling better is a relief. Ive never wanted to fail a test never been so happy for a negative result. Yeah. Reporter as i got a couple of hours ago. I was somewhere in the middle on that scale. I certainly had symptoms, i had congestion, i had aches, i had fever for one night. Id say maybe for eight days i didnt feel very well. I had different pains in places i wasnt really used to. I definitely knew i was sick. But i didnt have days where i couldnt get out of bed. I was i was lucky to have relatively mild symptoms. And then to test negative finally twice, ah, such a relief. Why did you have to have two tests . Is that how it works in rome . You have to have two to end quarantine . Reporter the italians say they follow world health guidelines. World Health Organization guidelines say you need two negative tests separated by 24 hours to be officially freed from quarantine. So as soon as i was exposed to people who were known to be positive, the doctors said you have to be in quarantine. Then i had the test, it turned out i was positive. We stayed in quarantine. Today is day 41. 41 days in the house. Ive only been out for about three hours. That was with a doctors permission to go to some mobile clinics to have this test. And one of the tests, about 20 days after i first tested positive, was positive again. At that point i had no symptoms, i was feeling much better, and i was surprised, shocked, and saddened really to to test positive. Again, frustrated to test positive again. Yeah. Thats whats so scary, to test and have no symptoms. Yes. Reporte three hours outside is not a lot. What have you been doing to stay sane . Reporter zoom. Zoom everything, zoom exercise, zoom italian classes, zoom Conference Calls for work, as you guys know. Zoom dinner parties and drinks. In fact, to change it up at one point, put on a black tie to have a black tie zoom dinner party because just the regular zoom dinner party was getting old after so many weeks. Id say the support of family and friends. My husband, andrea, has been incredible through this. I brought this into his life, and he, too, had to be quarantined the whole time. Weve been lucky to have neighbors delivering groceries and helping us out. As we couldnt leave. Happy to get these test results this morning. And so seth, speaking of your neighbors and the broader situation there in italy, one of the harder hit countries, from your vantage points, opening up your window and covering this through the computer and virtually, whats the situation in italy, and whats the prognosis Going Forward . Reporter we live right in the middle of rome, and with the windows open here for the last 40 days, it sounded more like the countryside. You hear birds and insects. Though recently i have heard more helicopters. I was doing the laundry and hanging up the laundry and a drone buzzed overhead. The italian have been cracking down, trying to enforce stayathome orders. The two times that we were allowed out of the house, three times actually to take a test, only out for a little bit of time. We went to this mobile clinic. But we saw all sorts of police blockades, roadblocks where they would stop. We had a doctors permission we had to show that allowed us to be on the streets. People that weve seen, rome seems to be taking this very seriously. Now as you know, italy is experimenting with this socalled phase two, starting to open up more to allow more freedom. Now with my freedom all i can do is go to the Grocery Store and take out the trash. But after 41 days, thats pretty nice. Ill bet its fun to take out the trash. Before you go, quickly, is andrea okay . Reporter andreas great. Thanks. He actually tested negative all three times. Theres some different hypotheses there. One is that he could have had it in between and not been tested at that right moment. Hes well. Im glad hes all right. Thank you, seth doane. Our chief medical correspondent, you know him, dr. Jon lapook, joins us. Heres a question how long can the coronavirus live inside the body . Its so interesting that seth had no symptoms yet tested positive. Reporter yeah, i have to say it shows the perspective this pandemic gives us that seth is thrilled to take out the garbage. I just love that. I know. I know. Reporter you know, heres the thing just because he tested positive and that there was the virus, little particles of rna in the back of his throat, it doesnt mean that those particles were infectious. And research recently suggests it probably wasnt. There was a study where the particles were able to be recovered from the back of the throat weeks later, weeks after the person became sick. But they werent infectious after day eight. So thats one of the things the cdc has two different guidelines. One says that youre ready to go back if you have 72 hours without fever. Assuming have no medicine to lower the fever. Youre feeling better, and its been at least seven days since your symptoms began. The other is the one that seth has been following which says you have to have two negative tests at least 24 hours apart. If he had done the first criteria, he would have been out weeks ago. Yeah. How long should you quarantine if you test positive . Reporter well thats the thing. There are two different ways. You could split the difference and say, well, seven days from the beginning of symptoms if you dont have the virus. You know, maybe thats a little bit short. You know, trying to get people back. Some people i know are doubling that. Its hard to know right now because we dont have the data. So some people are saying at least 14 days. The cdc official guidelines, we said there are two, if you dont have the testing ability, theyre saying seven days from the beginning of symptoms. 72 hours without fever and feeling better. I have to add about seth that i have to applaud him and his ethics. When he found out that he tested positive, he contacted everybody who he had any contact with including me. Thats one of the reasons why i was in selfimposed quarantine for a couple of weeks. Thank god i tested negative. But you know, theres a stigma attached to it. He was the very first one among the first people to be infected at, you know, around here. And i thought it took a lot of guts and a lot of ethics for him to go out and be so forward and say, its me, i tested positive, theres no shame in it. And i really applaud him. I got to hand it to him. I think its very important medically. I dont know why there is shame, but every time theres an epidemic of anything, whether its ebola or whatever, the people infected, there was stigma. There should not be any stigma attached to them. I second what youre saying about seth. Its important that people reduce the stigma so we can get help and treatment if we need it. Thank you, dr. Jon lapook. Good to see you. Ahead, a deejay veteran recreates what you could call a hairrising wartime moment inspiring others locked down in the epidemic. The author who wrote tuesdays with mori is righting a new book to help people affected by good morning. Im gianna franco. It was 8 25. Thank you for joining us.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time to bring you some of the stories that we call talk of the table. You know how it goes. We each pick a story that we like and share it with all of us and all of you from our respective homes. So whos going first . Tony, i think its you. Ill go first. A lot of us could use a haircut after many weeks at home. In maryland a world war ii paratrooper, 96yearold guy whitten, decided to shave his hair into a mohawk. His granddaughters helped him do it this month. Look at that video. The background is this back in 1944 do we have the video . In 1944 there he is back in 1944, we wore a mohawk on the eve of dday to intimidate the germans. But a lieutenant wouldnt let him keep it. Hes always had memories of that mohawk. He wanted to bring it back. He said he did it again 75 years later to honor his fallen comrades and also just to make people laugh. Hes received photos from other people who is also took up the mow who also took up the mohawk look. Kudos to them. A great gesture. The whole video is funny. Hes got a whole rigamarole through it all. They might be the only two 96yearolds in america who have enough hair up top to shape it into a mohawk. I was going to say a wonderful challenge. I dont know how many people in that age bracket will be able to follow it. I hope im among them when i get there. A rarity. Yes. Anthony . Yeah. I would love to have that much hair to be able to do a Motor Vehicle hawk, as you said. A great look a mohawk, as you said. A great look. A married couple in london is killing time during the coronavirus lockdown by creating lipsync videos. Their battle has become a huge hit on social media. Take a look. I need some time off from that emotion time to get my heart up off the floor a hero im holding on for a hero till the end of the night thats Marcus Brigstock and rachel paris. Last is my favorite. Theyre comedians. They started posting their lockdown lipsync videos at the beginning of the month. Every time that try to top each other. It works. A lot of fun. Theyve gotten a huge reaction. I love these, too. Gayle . I love that, too, anthony. You can tell they are never bored. Heres another couple who i think seems to have a lot of fun at home. This is a local tv reporter in sacramento, found out how shall we say the hard way that when you work from home you have to be really, really careful about whos in the shot. Melinda maze is her name. She was doing a live report about styling her hair at home. Apparently her husband was taking a shower at the time. Now if you look to the right of the screen, we had to blur it out because its a family show. But to the right of the screen, that big blur is her husband, naked in the mirror. If youre watching her newscasts in sacramento, you got to see her husband, by the name his name is mark. Theyve been married for 15 years. And you know, i had a couple of questions. A, hes taking a shower during her live shot. Okay. I get that. If youre out of the shot. You have to remember that theres a mirror in the room. I think thats hilarious. So viewers at that station got to see mark in all his glory. I dont get it. Why would he be taking a shower during the live shot . Its always dangerous to do a live shot with the shower behind you. And let me just say this thank you very much, alexis. Melindas husbands name is mike, not not mark. That would make a difference. Mike delambert. Thank you so much, alexis. You go, mike. Embarrassing embarrassing to have his name wrong. Yes. Hes got enough embarrassment enough. Anthony . All right. Thanks. Bestselling author mitch albom is writing a new novel to raise money for coronavirus relief. His popular books, of course, includes tuesdays with morrie and the five people you meet in heaven. Human touch is free. He is publishing one chapter on line every week for the next eight weeks. Actually eight in total. Readers can make donations to his charity, which is detroit beats covid19. Mitch albom joins us from his home in detroit. Good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. Welcome. Good morning. This is quite a great cause that youve taken on, obviously. Youve given yourself quite a challenge here writing on demand essentially week by week. But youve written this story right from the youve ripped this story right from the headlines. Im hoping you know how this all ends. I was actually going to ask you. I dont know how it ends. Im doing it one week at a time. And its not the way i normally write a work of fiction. But you know, these are extraordinary times. What made you decide to do this, mitch . I wanted to help out my city, anthony. I mean, detroit is the hardest hit city after new york. Weve got First Responders that are dying. Weve got hospitals that are overrun. And you know, i thought, well, this is what i do for a living, i sell books. Let me write fiction and offer it for free. See if i can get people around the world im blessed to have readers from all over heto hp our city out. I tried to take a story that could move around as the pandemic continued. It centers on a street cornern michigan on one small town where theres four families living in four houses. And how the four families sort of interact with each other as the pandemic grows. And how they go from very neighborly to starting to become distrustful. Some get closer, some get further apart. At the core is one mysterious 8yearold boy whos recent to the neighborhood who seems immune to any kind of illness. And as people start to get sick, he sneaks around to their houses and offers himself to be hugged and held and provide this human touch that we miss so much. And then just when he seems to be the key to curing the whole thing, he mysteriously disappea disappears. Youll have to stay with me every friday, we put out another chapter. Ill let you know. Youre not mitch, you write youre very prolific, but youre not used to having to hit a deadline every week. Are you . Well, the Sports Writer part of my past has trained me well for this. I used to have to write things in five minutes on deadline for the newspaper. And so this is a little more like that. But no, i dont usually write my books there way. I usually chase them to the publishers as theyre going saying let me have one more sentence, one more sentence. This is like done with it. Done. I record it. I do an audio recording with audible. And it all has to be done, you know, by monday. Im doing it right after im done with you. And then we start the next chapter all over again. Yeah. And the 8yearold character you mentioned is based in part on an 8yearold whos staying at your house from your orphanage, the orphanages that you back in haiti. Is that right . Yeah. Ironically he came up from from haiti for physical therapy. Hes handicapped in a way. And so he got caught in the travel ban. So now were parents to an 8yearold. Hes just been an amazing delight. Hes full of joy. His name is nachs. In the book hes little moses. He provides such energy and sunshine for us being locked in. Ill realize children are a i realized children are a key to feeling theres hope. Not only is he inspiration for the character but the audio version with audible, he records the voice of the 8yearold boy. I give him the line, he does the line. Very good actor for an 8yearold haitian boy. And you can hear him in the audio version. Thats great, mitch. I wanted to mention, you wrote a column recent in detroit titled the michigan i know doesnt lose its head in a pandemic. What are you getting at there . Well, ive been hearing from people around the country about the protest that was held here at the capitol. And people saying, whats going on in your state . I would say, well, its not our state, thats 1,000 or 2,000 cars that are exercising their First Amendment right to protest certain things. In a state of ten million people, that doesnt necessarily speak for all of us. I think the majority of people in michigan, while were certainly suffering businesswise and with tight restrictions, i think our top preference is to make sure we dont lose one more soul from michigan to this. Not a grandparent, not a child, not a First Responders, not a doctor. If that means we have to stay locked in longer or endure a little bit longer, if its going to save lives, thats the way the majority in the state thinks. All right. Thank you so much. For more information about how to read human touch, visit cbsthismorning. Com. Thanks, mitch.

Reporter it might have been easier to spend the shoutdown looking at the near empty streets, depicting the fear and anxiety the coronavirus is leaving in its wake. What struck him more was the globe aid globes resilience and courage. Eyes up he says should be the signature of this difficult time, not the grim reality behind us. I always felt that its more important to portray the better part of ourselves. Something that speaks to something bigger than us. Reporter strength is what he captures best. This is his view of congresswoman shirley chisholm. Aretha franklin and harriet tubman. Hes portrayed players inneath oh League Baseball and reminding us why mohamed ali mattered so much. I think whats in my head is the the idea or the feeling that i wanted to have. Reporter it has to have an emotion . Yeah. Yeah. I think thats what makes art art. Reporter he should know.
