The host of watch what happens live tells us about his successful battle against the coronavirus. Why he says the government is keeping him from helping others fight the disease. Hes got lots to say. First, heres todays eye opener. Your world in 90 seconds. All that progress we made by flattening that curve, we could lose that in a matter of days if were not careful. Despite growing numbers, several states prepare to start easing stayathome restrictions. We cant do this again. We cant afford to shut down, stop commerce again. Thats why were following those guidances, following the experts. Doing what we can to social distance. We have hundreds of calls coming in asking if it was right to ingest clorox. President trump did not hold a press briefing, but the president s comments about injecting disinfectants are still proving controversial. Doesnt that bother you that you have to spend any time discussing this . I think it bothers me this is still in the news cycle. The nba is opening Team Practice facilities for players in states loosening stayathome restrictions. All that family in michigan put up a sign in their yard making it mandatory to have a silly walk when passing by their home. And all that matters. Dr. Anthony fauci said if anyone had to play him on snl, he hoped it would be brad pitt. Will it happen . First, id like to thank all the older women in america who have sent me supportive, inspiring and sometimes graphic emails. On cbs this morning. Lean on me dozens of wellknown canadian comes together for a National Salute to front line workers fight cog vid 19 call me if you need a friend call me if you need a friend just call me announcer this mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Welcome to cbs this morning. Lean on me, tony. Bill withers song has become an anthem. Too bad hes not here to see it. That song fits so many, so well in this particular time were going through. Yeah, gayle. I cant think of a lyric more apt for the moment than we all need a friend. Exactly right. Every time i hear it, it gives me a little chill. From our home to yours, as you see, we hope you are staying in if you can, on this monday. We made it through the weekend. I hope it was safe for you. If you are one of those essential workers, we thank you, thank you, thank you. We begin today with efforts by a rising number of states to reopen this week despite the in california, tens of thousands of people crowded the beaches over the weekend. It was tough to see. Even though a stayathome order is still in place in that state. In georgia, some businesses are now open to customers after a controversial decision by the states governor there. There are signs that social distancing is helping flatten the curve, but the numbers from the virus continue to rise. We are now nearing a million reported cases nationwide. More than 965,000. And the reported death toll is now more than 54,000. Mark strassmann is in atlanta where more businesses are expected to reopen today. Mark, the question on everyones mind, how is it going so far . Good morning, tony. Today is going to be interesting. This reopening, this next step in georgias reopening will gauge Public Attitudes about all of this. Movie theaters and restaurants like the waffle house behind me can now seat people inside. They have to maintain social distancing and its hardly business as usual. The weekend was a little slow. Reporter jason griggers held what he called a soft opening at his atlanta area salon. He served a handful of clients. His first in six weeks. Were trying to staring our clients and not just load them in here so theres not so many people in here. We can practice good social distancing. Reporter georgia is not alone. Elected officials are making similar decisions around the country. Sometimes against the advice of Public Health officials. Social distancing will be with us through the summer to really ensure that we protect one another as we move through these phases. Reporter with roughly 1 in 6 americans without a job, the prolonged quarantine has shredded state economies. Some governors say its time to move forward. Were always going to be data driven. Reporter oklahomas republican governor announced some businesses like gyms and restaurants will be free to open on friday. The two Guiding Principles i told oklahomans were going to use through this whole process was the health and safety of oklahomans number one and then mitigate the loss to our economy and get our workers back working as quickly as possible. Reporter that sentiment has bipartisan support. Colorados democratic governor jared polis announced his states stayathome order would end today. We know what matters a lot more than the date the stayathome ends is what we do going forward. If its not replaced with practices sustainable for the weeks and months that its likely to remain with us. Reporter at least 12 states are easing restrictions on restaurants, salons and some retailers. None has met the cdcs guidelines for relaxing social distancing rules. A 14day decline in hospitalizations. On sunday, new York Governor Andrew Cuomo said some businesses in his state could reopen as soon as may 15th. He called on them to think outside the box. This is not a onesided equation here. Businesses, you develop a plan on how you would reopen given everything we now know. Reporter hundreds of businesses here that could reopen are staying shut. Their owners think its just too soon. And the number of mayors in georgia agree with that decision to stay closed. They are worried that reopening could lead to a second wave of infections. Anthony . Mark, thank you. President trump did not appear in public over the weekend to address the crisis. He did speak out on twitter. A Senior Adviser tells cbs news some of the president s aides and allies outside the white house have urged him to scale back the daily briefings on the coronavirus. As ben tracy reports, one of the president s top scientific advisers says testing still needs to be dramatically improved. We have to have a breakthrough innovation in testing. Reporter dr. Deborah birx says a different type of coronavirus test similar to those needed to test for flu, is adequately needed to screen the u. S. Population. The test would more likely and cheaply detect the bodys response to the virus. Allows you to screen large numbers of individuals quickly. Reporter birx also said the white house is working with states to increase testing capacity, despite the president saying states are responsible for their own testing and bragging about the overall u. S. Response. Weve tested far more than anybody else anywhere in the world. Reporter the president is now often contradicted by his own Health Experts and even some in his own party are criticizing his daily press briefings. Some of the messaging has not been great. Reporter larry hogan, a republican, says his States Emergency Management Agency was flooded with calls after President Trump said this on thursday. I see the disinfectant, it knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do Something Like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning . I think its critical that the president of the united states, when people are really scared and in the middle of this worldwide pandemic that in these press conferences that we really get the facts out there. Reporter after the blowback this weekend on twitter, the president questioned the purpose of having white house news conferences. Adding, not worth the time and effort. But its his own comments that have forced his team to spend time clarifying. And dr. Birx expressed her frustration with the media coverage. Sometimes i worry that we dont get the information to the American People that they need when we continue to bring up something that was from thursday night. Reporter cbs news learned the white house plans to focus more on the economy in its messaging and that Public Health information from dr. Birx and dr. Anthony fauci will take a back seat to that. There is a press briefing scheduled here at the white house for this afternoon, but its unclear if the president will attend. Tony . All right, ben tracy, at the white house, thank you. Moving overseas. Britains Prime Minister is back at work three weeks after the coronavirus put him in intensive care. In his first Public Statement since returning to london, Boris Johnson urged the british people to be patient saying they are making progress. If this virus were a physical assailant, an unexpected and invisible mugger, which i can tell you from personal experience, it is, then this is the moment when we have begun together to wrestle it to the floor. Britain has lost more than 20 this to people to the coronavirus. Johnson had been criticized for not taking stronger steps sooner to prevent it from spreading. Were learning new information about how the coronavirus affects patients. Our dr. David agus joins us from los angeles with more on that part of the story. David, lets start with the cdc reporting that there are new symptoms possible new symptoms to diagnose this coronavirus. What are they . The cdc had a list of fever, cough and shortness of breath as the symptoms. If you had those symptoms, you could be tested in most places in the united states. Theyve expanded those to include chills, shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throw the and loss of taste or smell. Critically important because now it means more people can be tested as places that require symptoms for testing and also to educate people that if you have these, you have to consider having the coronavirus. Since we keep getting new information, does it make it harder to fight this virus effectively . Its such a moving target, it seems. We started from scratch. We didnt know what this virus would do, how the human body would respond, how we should respond in fighting. And literally every day were learning more. Were learning about what it can do to the body. New signs and symptoms that in some cases are dramatic that we didnt expect but were getting better. And the treatment protocols are being spread across the country and how we care for the virus is improving on a daily basis. Over the weekend, dr. Deborah birx said we need a breakthrough antigen testing. What exactly does that 19amean . We have a pcr test. It looks for about 100 of the letters of the 30,000 letters in the code of the virus. And it takes awhile to amplify that and look at it. And thats why the test is complex to put across the country. An antigen test looks for a yes, no is it present . Is it protein in the virus present in whatever youre swabbing. Its how we do a pregnancy test. Its how we do the admitting the flu test. With that test if we have it, thats specific for covid19, we can dramatically scale testing. Theres so many asymptomatic people and we have to test them if we want to open appropriately in every state and being able to quarantine off people who have the virus. So a new test is critical. She talked about being in the works. And i hope and pray that happens soon. Yeah, everybody hopes that. You know, recently we keep hearing about possible blood clots that could lead to strokes in younger patients. What do you know about that . So, this virus is causing blood clots. We classically see blood clots in more elderly individuals. Clots in the leg that can go to the lung. Clots in the heart that can go to the brain. Were seeing it in 30, 40 and 50yearolds and often people that are not that symptomatic with the virus. So this is new. This is something that obviously has us on alarm. Its very, very rare. So i dont want everybody thinking they have this, but if you do have any symptoms, what it means is go right away to the emergency room. The earlier we treat, the better the outcome. All right. Information is power. The more we know, the better we can deal with all of this. Thank you david. Anthony . Thanks, gayle. There are reasons for hope this morning in hardhit new york where strict social distancing rules are still in place. Yesterdays death toll here was the lowest this month and less than half what it was during the pandemics peak. Hospitalizations are down as well, along with the number of people put on ventilators. In another sign of progress, the last patient has been discharged from the Naval Hospital ship comfort which will soon depart after nearly a month docked in manhattan. We want to share a touching tribute that a connecticut man left for his family. 32yearold jonathan koelho died due to cardiac arrest from the coronavirus. He wrote a note on his phone to his wife and two young children. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud spoke to coelhos wife. Good mog. Morn jonathan spent days in the ho bef he alone. And before he was placed on a ventilator, he wrote a note to his wife which she read at the hospital after he died. He wrote in the note what he wanted her to tell their two children two are too young to remember their father. To his 2yearold son braedyn he wrote, tell him hes my best bud and i am proud to be his father. To his 4monthold daughter penelope he wrote, let her know shes a princess and she can have whatever she wants in life. And to his wife katie, he thanked her for giving him the best life he could have had. And then he said this. If you meet someone, dont hold back because if they love you and the kids like i, do then i love that for you. You think he knew . I think he did. I think he was scared. That was written the day before the few hours actually before he was intubated, and we were still texting and communicating during this time. You dont fight for 28 days and think that youre not going to come home. So i dont think he gave up, but i think he knew that if it was going to be that bad, that i wasnt going to talk be able to talk to him again, and he knew that i would need something. And my kids are so young, and theyre not going to know their dad or remember their dad. So were going to have to share with them what a great person he was. And i think he wanted them to hear from him how much he loved them and how much he cared about them. So beautiful that you i hope you i hope you have what he wrote to you etched in some kind of stone or artwork and hung somewhere because those are his final words written to you. Yeah, and his actually his bean at our wedding found my husbands wedding vows he had emailed to him the day of our wedding, which i havent seen or heard since the day we got married. And he sent them to me, and seeing the words he said the first day we became husband and wife and then the last words he said to me, it just echoed how much, like, the love has just increased and it was just so you could see from start to finish my husband worshipped us. And i am so thankful i have those words, but theyre also very haunting as theyre all i have left. You know, jonathan survived Childhood Cancer twice andieys several times they thought he was going to pull through. At one point, the doctors told her his lungs appeared to be cleared of the virus. But the virus had wrecked some of his vital organs. Gayle . Oh, boy, david. Its such a gift that she has those words, and from what i was reading about the story, he was such a fighter. Its so hard to hear it, too. And in her words, it is haunting. How is katie doing . How is she going to move forward . Did she say . This is tough. You know, she 800,000 has been donated by strangers to help her. But i was haunted by the fact that when we finished the interview, she had to start getting the kids ready for bed because life moves on. Now that she is a widow and a single mom. Yeah, yeah. And jonathan fought to the very end. Thank you very much, david.

An82for concorth e we welcome back to cbs this morning. Some folks in San Francisco are trying to calm those affected by the coronavirus with the power of music. I left my heart doctors and staff at California Pacific Medical Center sang Tony Bennetts signature song i left my heart in San Francisco. Many others across that city by the bay joined in over the weekend after bennett himself organized the sing along on twitter. One group of performers gathered at a statue honoring the singer. Someone even placed a mask over the statues face just to be safe. Gayle . Anthony, tony bennett leading a singalong of his classic song, who doesnt want to play in that game . Sign me up. Yeah. No kidding. Thank you, mr. Bennett. Thats right. The World Health Organization warns theres no evidence that people who have recovered from the coronavirus are protected from a second infection. South koreas cdc says that 268 patients have retested positive after it was thought they had recovered. So now thats raising some very troubling questions about whether this virus can be reactivated. Senior medical correspondent, thats dr. Tara narula, shows us why the answer could be critically important. It felt it like at times somebody was stabbing me with an ice pick reporter colorado Nurse Practitioner lisa merck has been documenting her coronavirus journey since she first tested positive in march. Theres a stigma reporter as a health care worker, merck gets repeat tests. Do you want to reporter she knows when she can safely return to work. On day 21 of isolation, she got good news your test was negative. Reporter but just seven days later, she got a retest and was shocked at the results this is really scary to me. Reporter megyn kelly was once merckvid19. Its confusing. Frustrating. Reporter do you feel like you got infected twice with coronavirus . Or do you feel like that test that came back negative was a false negative . I feel like the test that came back was a false negative. I mean, theres no way to tell. Reporter viral pcr tests based on nose and throat swabs like these are reliable about 60 to 90 of the time depending on the test. Can people get covid19 twice . I dont think we know the answer to that yet. Reporter dr. Stanley perlman, professor at the university of iowa, has been studying coronaviruses like sars later. Rs for nearly 40 anti whia ano tmo o them are protected against sars again. For mers, the amount of antibody seems to have declined fairly rapidly. If you have mild disease, you have severe disease it lasts much longer. Reporter just like with mers, dr. Perlman believes more severe covid19 symptoms may mean longerlasting immunities. This disease we think that you will be protected at least for some amount of time, especially if you had pneumonia. If you have only the Upper Airway Infection you may get infected again. Reporter perlman says the good news is that covid19 is not mutating quickly. So this means that making a vaccine is more feasible because the virus isnt changing. Reporter what do you make of the korean saying that coronavirus may, in fact, be reactivating in people they initially thought were cured . Yeah. The question is whether there really is reactivation or lowlevel infection that was not detected for a period of time and now is detected. Reporter Martin Hirsch of Massachusetts General Hospital agrees. He says genetics and several other factors affect immune response. Younger people, Healthy People without any underlying conditions are the most likely to develop prolonged antibodies. Reporter with covid19, the World Health Organization says we need more evidence about how effective the antibodies are and how long immunity will last. When were talking about this idea of potentially getting infected for a second time, what time frame would sound reasonable to you for that to make sense . I think those people who test positive then negative and then days or a few weeks are almost certainly not reinfected. I think if you go beyond that, if you look at a few months, a few years, then you can Start Talking about reinfection. Reporter lisas rate, tara. Lisas right when she says it is confusing. Help us understand. How could it be that you can have the antibodies and not be immune to the coronavirus . Reporter its definitely confusing. A lot of people equate the two terms. Antibody is not synonymous with ti youve been infected before. Immunities is this more complex idea. Its a continuum. And it depends on several things. It depends on the number of antibodies you produce, the type of antibodies you produce. So there are neutralizing antibodies, the ones we know that really work most effectively at neutralizing the virus. You want more of those. It also depends on other parts of the immune system. We have t cells that work with the cells that make the antibodies that help. Then we have memory cells, as well, that produce antibody down the road when you see the virus again. We are all still learning so much. Thank you, tar avery much. Ahead, how the growing use of drones by authorities to help fight the coronavirus is now raising privacy concerns.

All over the world right now Public Health and safety groups are turning to drones to help slow the spread of the coronavirus. Officials are using them to monitor public spaces and enforce social distancing rules. A study found that there are nearly 1,600 agencies in the u. S. Who now have drones and we have more on how theyre being used and also the privacy concerns. This is the anticovid19 volunteer Drone Task Force reporter onlookers were perplexed as cbs news captured this drone buzzing over a park at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. Please maintain social distancing. Reporter it wasnt the work of new york police, but instead this frustrated drone enthusiast from queens. I couldnt believe my eyes. Reporter Xavier Arthur was so angry at people not following guidelines to stay home, he offered what he describes as a public service. Like, okay, im just going to make sure that the message gets out loud and clear. Maybe someone will listen. Reporter arthurs effort mate not have been official, but his plan mimics those of some Public Safety organizations nationwide. Were not telling people to get out. Were not enforcing as far as them having them go. Its making the announcement for Public Safety reasons. Reporter sergeant tim ehrenkaufers Police Department in daytona beach, florida, is one of 43 agencies and 22 states to receive donations from dji, the drone manufacturer gave away 100 devices as part of its Disaster Relief program. Ehrenkaufer has also tested but not deployed other dronebacked technologies like measuring body temperature. Equipped with the forwardlooking infrared camera which can detect heat. Reporter that technology was meant to be deployed in connecticut where the westport Police Department planned to pilot a drone that monitored heat signatures and tracked distances between people. It could even recognize if someone coughed. But it was pulled over residents privacy concerns. And privacy advocates in the u. S. Are warning of the potential for abuse. You can have the ability for facial recognition or the ability to do license plate reading. Thermal imaging cameras, that can essentially see through walls. Reporter jeramie scott is senior counsel at the electronic privacy information center. Some people might say, look, these extreme measures are just for use during this pandemic, why should we worry . Then there should be no issue with stating that and providing certain protections. This information is oeing used in response to a Public Health issue and will not be used for other purposes. Reporter but ehrenkaufer points out his drones are limited to public spaces. You still have the faa and local laws that guide us. It doesnt matter if im using a drone, a telescoping antenna, or if im flying a kite with a camera, i dont have a right to look in your back yard without a search warrant. Reporter current faa guidelines require every single drone to beegd before ie flight. And that regulation and registration dictates where and when it can be operated. Heres the thing as of right now, there is no federal guideline on data collection, only best practices. Those best practices are volunta voluntary. Yeah, another area in this pandemic where an appropriate balance has to be struck, but it can be hard to find. Errol, thank you very much.

Our financial expert shows us what working and shopping might look like after the pandemic. Plus andy cohens battle. He tel w hes fighting for the right to help slow the spread as aav first, heres t eye opener at 8 00. There are signs that socdis the curve, but were now nearing a million reported cases nationwide. Movie theaters and restaurants can now seat people inside. They have to maintain social distancing and its hardly business as usual. Cbs this morning learns the white house plans to focus more on the economy and Health Information will take a backseat to that. Since we keep getting new information, does it make it harder to fight the virus effectively . Were learning about new signs and symptoms that in some cases are dramatic we didnt expect, but were getting better. One man is becoming a familiar face for georgians looking for answers about coronavirus. You can find hem behind Governor Brian Kemp signing information for millions of people. The flying fingers, this guy here is an artist. Here he is interpreting a beyonce song at atlanta pride. Slay it. Like him a lot. Hes got moves. Hes got moves. Welcome back to cbs this morning. I like seeing him move. Really nice. He is an artist. I agree. I agree. But anthony, before we get started, i heard about something called rate my room. Theres somebody on twitter rating peoples backgrounds. Mr. Mason, you got a nine out of ten. This person thinks your artwork is su beperb. What did you get . I dont know. I dont know. I just want to say congrats to you. I have to check it out. Thank you. Moving on, like many of you were following the guidelines to stay home. Anthony is in his library, and tony is in his basement. Despite the rise in coronavirus and cases more states are of today at least 12 states have started relaxing restrictions to allow some businesses to open their doors in a limited way, they say. That includes georgia where the decision has faced widespread criticism including from President Trump. Anthony . California has not loosened the rules. But thousands still packed beaches in orange and ventura counties. Locals say the large crowds resembled those seen on the fourth of july. California has the fifth most confirmed cases in the country. The danger is still very well. In just the past four weeks the death toll in the u. S. Has jumped from about 2500 to about 55,000. Thats an increase of about 14,000 since this time last week. Doctor murthy fought ebola and zika, and now biden aal lea about wrote theook ohumanonnec lonely world. He believes togetherness can help solve many of our problems and dr. Murthy joins us from miami. Good morning. What a timely book, but speaking of timely, your expertise as a Public Health expert also timely. I want to begin there. Youve been advising state and local governments on the question of when to reopen. What are you telling them . Well, its so nice to be with you this morning. Im telling people whether theyre elected officials or reporters or anyone who will listen, is that it is important for us to reopen as quickly as possible, but to do so safely. And that means at this point first and foremost, that we have to have much more expanded and available testing. We then have to follow it up with the Contact Tracing that can help essentially drop a net over new cases when we find them. And if we have them in place along with a Surge Capacity we need in hospitals, then cases dip down, then we can safely start to reopen with cautions. Well still need to deep distance from each other and ensure were Wearing Masks in public. Well at least have a fighting chance at preventing a second surge. With those guidelines in mind, how do governors and mayors balance the known Health Effects of unemployment and loneliness with the known effects of the pandemic . This is an unprecedented situation were in, and i appreciate there are tough choices to make here. We have to avoid the false choice between peoples false and the economy. If we really want to get the economy back up and running, they want people to not lose any more than theyve already lost, we have to make sure were taking care of Peoples Health and making it safe. If we reopen prematurely, what happens is well have another surge and everyone will have to retreat back to stay at home measures. It will hit the economy even harder later on. But as much as people talk about the Economic Impact which is serious and the direct Health Impact which is real, theres another impact that we havent talked about as much. And thats the impact on our social lives. As i worry about it, its the social recession that we may incur as a result of the prolonged physical social distancing and fear of the virus that may deepen our loneliness over time, and that has real consequences for our health as well. Yeah. One way to mitigate that social recession as you call it is to ramp up testing. Dr. Anthony fauci of the Coronavirus Task force says we need to double testing and he thinks well be able to do it. How would we experience that testing as Everyday Americans . What it would look like is our ability to number one, get tests to whoever needs them. So particularly people who are at higher risk. Health care workers. The eld ler aand nursing homes. Frontline workers working in Grocery Stores. And other jobs where theyre in Constant Contact with people. They need to be able to be tested whenever they require it. And second, we it would also look like doctors being able to get tests for anybody who has symptoms. That is still tough for many physicians now. And finally, it would look like rapid turn around of tests. Right now there are still clinicians having to wait three or four or five days to get test results. We need to shorten that to the rapid point of care tests which delivers results within minutes. Doctor murthy, you have a book out tomorrow called togetherness at a moment when togetherness is one thing public experts say we cant engage in it. Loneliness is a problem. How do we combat it at a 340emo when we cant reach out and touch someone . This is a great conundrum. If you told me a year ago when i was writing this book inspired by conversations i had with people around the country when i was Surgeon General that showed me loneliness is far more kmn and has more impacts on our health, i would have thought wed never be in our Current Situation where were asked to social distance from each other. But we can either allow the current physical distancing to deepen our loneliness which has increased risk for dementia, Heart Disease, and depression. Or we can say were going to use this moment to reset our lives. To recommit to making relationships a priority in our lives. And there are simple steps we can take to do that right now. Even though we dont have the ability to see each other in person. And thats what i go through in this book. It was an i was inspired to do it really by folks who taught me that as a doctor, we see lots of illnesses like diabetes, but this is one we have not been paying enough attention to. Doctor, i think thats right. I was going to mention, too, the tips in the book. One of them being take time every day, 15 minutes to connect with people most important in your life. And when you do that, focus. Dont be cooking at the same time. Just one on one connection. So important as a reminder right now. Doctor murthy, thank you very much. And your book togetherness goes on sale tomorrow. You can hear more about the fight on loneliness on our podcast. Its available wherever you like to get your podcast.

The pandemic is dramatically changing our lives every day. There week in the new normal, looks at how the changes will affect the way we work, the way we socialize, the way we learn, and the way we vote. This morning, the Financial Impact on businesses and workers, Many Companies are being forced to adapt. On 60 minutes last night, Norah Odonnell asked General Motors ceo, mary barra, whether the disease is a threat to gms longterm future. Between the strength of our Balance Sheet with the steps weve taken in the past, we will get through this, and we will learn a lot of lessons that will apply. Whats the longterm prognosis for General Motors if youre not making cars . No one knows when things are going to get back to what i refer to as the new normal. Ive heard others refer to it as the new abnormal. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger joins us to discuss this. I like that, jill. The new abnormal. I think thats a good way to describe it. So what are you hearing from Business Leaders about the ways various industries are going to be impacted by this pandemic . Theres basically three distinct phases. Im calling it t3. Triage, what we just have gone through, everyone throughout the old playbook. There was no playbook. How we were adapting. It was done on the fly. The net triage is really important because now many Business Owners are entering the second phase transition. So triage to transition. This is where many comesre ying despite wha governors say or mayors say or the president says, theyre putting worker safety first, only critical people back in the building. And the third t, transformation. What will a workplace look like . Will there have to be different kind of work spaces out there . How will we reconfigure how we work . Can more people be home, working remotely . Are we going to suspend Business Travel or at least alter it . Are we going to change the way we do our conferences . More teleconferencing. So think of it that way. Triage, transition, which is where we are right now, transformation. Boy, jill. I think that applies to all of us, regardless of whether youre in business or not. So what business sticking with the business theme, what businesses will be impacted most do you think . And how will they get through . Well, you just heard mary barra Say Something that was important from the automotive sector which is, look, weve been through terrible times. So you think about big businesses like the airlines, the automotive industries, they have been through terrible times, they will probably survive. Maybe come out different. But we also know that hospitality could change. Will air bnb be as popular on the other side of this . We dont know. We also understand now that theres going to be a big impact on the oil sector here in the united states. You know, crude oils down by 70 in price this year. So all these industriesch looking like different types of themselves coming out. Jill, retail was already struggling before the pandemic hit. How much dire a situation more dire a situation do you think theyre going to be in as we all go back to work . I think that the pandemic really accelerates trends that were already in place. As you said, retail had a terrible year last year. 9,300 stores were closed. 23 retail bankruptcies. We are hearing that potentially this week well get two big chains filing for bankruptcy, Neiman Marcus and jcpenney. Macy and the gap are reorganizing now. What we come out with on the other side, we know there will be aar on online sales, obviously, amazon and walmart and target, doing a bumper business. Dollar general, as well. I think thats going to be interesting is how we open. The largest retailers are writing together to the governments of all governors of all of the states trying to say we need a uniform way to come back into business because weve got operations everywhere. Its very difficult for a retailer to have a patchwork set of rules and procedures coming in this transition process and in that transformation process. Jill, the last time i left the house was march 31st. It was to go to cvs to pick up a prescription. If you would have told me that it would have made sense to me to stand six feet away, to lean through a plastic screen, to throw in a credit card and grab my stuff and get out, i would have thought thats impossible. Here we are. So what can consumers expect . What changes can we expect as consumers moving forward . You know, someone said something really interesting to me who owns a store. And he said, you know, look, just because i open doesnt mean people will come. I think we dont know what the Lasting Impact of this virus will be on consumers. In some places youre seeing people going out and getting haircuts. In other places we dont know. What i do know is there will be an impact, it is evolving, well be on top of these trends, but most importantly to stay safe is probably best for the economy, as well. Yes, stay safe, stay sane. Thank you very much, jill. Tomorrow, in our look at the new normal, what Grocery Stores and other businesses are now doing to monitor peoples temperatures as they walk in the door. Plus, how other technology could help as people venture out in public. Ahead, tvs andy cohen tells us how he wants to help fight off the coronavirus, but government regulations wont let him do that. Youre watching cbs this morning. We thank you for that. Well be right back. Why choose invisalign over other aligners . Only invisalign treatment uses smarttrack technology.

A michigan couple quarantined with the coronavirus had to wait nearly three weeks to meet their newborn twins, jennifer and andrew laubacl. They met their sons for the first time last thursday. Mitchell and maksim were born eight weeks early. In the weeks leading up to their births, both jennifer and andre experienced symptoms of the virus. The nitrogght jennifer went int labor, her husband could not go with her to the hospital. She was forced to drive a half hour to the hospital by herself yikes leaving her husband behind.

The couple and both babies are doing okay. So anthony, the circle of life continues. Good morning i am gianna franco. It is a 25 am. We had a slight backup over toward harrison. 8 25 am. As you get the roadways than 101 project allegheny underway. Delays in both directions because of the closures. Detours are in place. They are rerouting traffic from 101 to the northbound on southbound 101 the traffic being routed onto the new northbound 101 back. This is so they can demo the southbound side of oneonone there. You see some activity and an s curve through there. Slower speeds down to 35 miles an hour. Again this project will be wrapped up by may 3rd. So for now and lets check your forecast now.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. It is that time to bring you some of the stories that are talk of the table this morning. Since were coming to you from home, were going to share a story that each of us are talking about in our homes, and wed like to talk now with each other and with all of you at home. Anthony is going first. I am. Im starting off about the metropolitan opera, the Metropolitan Opera House in new york city has been closed since last month because of the pandemic, of course. On saturday the famous Opera Company live streamed an athome gala. Take a look at this. Absolutely beautiful. Some of the biggest names in the opera performed from their homes around the world. It was also i think the biggest zoom call ive ever seen. You know, i walk by the metropolitan opera is at lincoln center, which i love walking by. I used to walk home past it when we were in the office still. I went by there yesterday morning early on my way to picking up cinnamon buns, actually. There is the picture i took. It looks very forlorn. They have a little sign that says well be back after a short intermission. I posted it on instagram. It kind of made me hopeful and sad at the same time which is often the feeling i get Walking Around the city right now. Gayle . I know. Im going to stick with the hopeful part. I had never seen that before, anthony. That was beautiful. Mine is about saturday night live. These guys stay hopeful. They also had a new athome episode on saturday. A hollywood superstar. This is big, opened the show. Portraying a very familiar doctor. Guess who it is. Take a look. Good evening, im dr. Anthony fauci. First, id like to thank all the older women in america who have sent me supportive, inspiring, and sometimes graphic emails. To the real dr. Fauci, thank you for your calm and your clarity in this unnerving time. Thank you to the medical workers, first responders, and their families for being on the front line. Fred was so good. That, of course, is brad pitt. Dr. Anthony fauci recently joked he wanted brad pitt to play him on snl. Loren mike elechaels came up wi something clever. This was the second quarantine show. I love the line from dr. Fauci saying to the women who have sent me the older women who sometimes sent me sometimes graphic emails. You can only picture what that could mean. I think thats hilarious even though its a joke you know, i have a feeling my mother is among the emailers. I havent inquired. Im going to leave it at that. Yes. All right. As we know, as we know, sports are on hold. Theyre on a hiatus, postponed. Were all looking for something to watch. Sportscasters are also looking for things to watch. Theres one in particular, a scottish sportscaster whos b p followup. I found it recently, and i enjoyed it so much. I want to play it for all of you. Take a look. How fitting that it should come down to these two, olive and her familiar black, five times the champion, mabel the rising star. Winner last year. You can see how excited they are, but also feel the tension. Now they go olive away first. But a problem with mabels ball. That might cost having to play catchup. Settling into you see the contrast in styles. Mabel heavy tail use now Andrew Kotter works for the bbc, and he usually does golf and rowing. I think sailing also. None of those things are going on now. Youve done two installments of the dog olympics. Please, we all love them. Bring us more. Where is the doubleheader matchup we all need right now . Please. Anthony . Keep it coming. Yeah. I cant get enough of those, tony. Theyre really theyre fabulous. And considering we cant there are no games to watch, its the best thing we got. All right. Now turning to other news. North Korean Leader kim jongun skipped another holiday over the weekend, adding to rumors hes sick or even dead. The 36yearold was last seen in public april 11th. South korea says there are no signs anything is wrong. Jong pak is a top expert and worked for the cia and the National Intelligence council. Shes at the brookings institution, a think tank. Her book is becoming kim jongun a former cia officers insights into north koreas enigmatic young dictator. Good morning. Thanks for being with us. Let me start off, there have been rumors before about kim jongun. So how seriously do you think we should take these . Tnk you, anthony. I would say that, yes, kim has disappeared in the past for a week or two weeks. And in 2014 he disappeared for six weeks. But i think what was interesting about this current disappearance or absence is that he missed one of the most important holidays, and that was april 15th, his grandfathers birthday. And given that he rests his legacy and legitimacy on his grandfather, that was certainly a red flag. And weve seen some recent reporting about his absence and so i think that is something to be looking for in the future. Hes young, hes only 36. But you describe him as an old 36. What do we know about his health exactly . Well, we know that hes we know that hes 36. He is obese, and you can see from regime, just from the regime media itself that he has gained weight over the years. Very much so. And the summits of the past two years with President Trump and other regional leaders had the unintended effect of tomb showing how out of shape he is. We can hear him wheedsing, we can see him sweating, we can see him straining. And without the soft regime filters of state media, we can see that directly for how exact is. And of course, he also has a history of Heart Disease and diabetes. His grandfather died of a heart attack at the age of 82. His father had a stroke and died three years later. And so we have this string of kims who have had these types of problems. But at this point, we dont know if he had heart problems or heart surgery or anything of that sort. One way the u. S. Tries to figure out whats going on in north korea is by satellite imagery. A satellite image surfaced over the weekend of a train spotted at a coastal resort in north korea. What would that tell us exactly . As with all of the fragmentary information that weve been seeing, the train doesnt tell us whether hes there or whether hes sick or what kind of condition hes in. But as that report suggested, the fact that his train is there lends more weight to the fact that he is that he is on the coast. This is one of his favored villas, thats where he can rest and relax. And so you know, that is one other piece of information that he might be in that region. You write in your book that kim is rational, not suicidal. If there does end up being a transition here, is that likely to shake things up in north korea . You know, kims health and any Leaders Health for that matter is something that the Intelligence Community and the u. S. Government looks at very closely. And especially in a society like north korea where theres such a personal list of dictator in the singular person. I think given the fact that he holds the reins in terms of the Nuclear Weapons, the military and the security aapparatuses, this is why its important and the world is looki ing closely where kim might be. Hes rational. Hes not out to set a Nuclear Weapon against the united states. And if i were if i were him, given the fact that he also went through a compressed grooming process after his fathers stroke, that i would have been thinking about a Succession Process from the very beginning. So given that his hes rational, i think we shouldnt anticipate some big conflict to break out. But i think the fact that he has all the reins of power, we have to be very watchful for where he might be and if theres a prolonged leadership struggle or vacuum in north korea. Jong pak, thank you very much. Her book becoming kim jongun goes on sale tomorrow. Tv host andy cohen is speaking out against an fda rule that blocks him from donating blood plasma because of his sexuality. Ahead, well talk to the coronavirus survivor about tv host andy cohen is a coronavirus survivor. Now hes in a new fight over a policy preventing him from helping other patients just because hes gay. Fda guidelines prevent men from donating blood plasma if theyve had sex with another man in the past three months. Plasma from survivors may contain antibodies which could help fight the virus. Cohen, as you know, is host of watch what happens live with andy cohen, thats how you say it. He joins us from his home in new york city. Good morning to you it andy cohen. Good to see you. Hi, my friend. How are you . A lot of chatter over the hi. Im really glad to see youre back up and running. Therwas a lotf weeken about thi. Many peore yet stiers say, well, waits a second, there could be a health risk here. What was your response to the governments thanks but no thanks to you . Well, you know, i was disappointed. Ive known in the past about the fact that gay men cannot donate blood. But i think were in an unusual situation right now. Were in a war against a disease that we dont know a lot about, and theres an urgent need for the antibody that is in people like me, who have survived coronavirus. So i just felt like blood donations are down over 150,000 there are 150,000 people less donating blood right now. There is an urgent need and a special urgent need for the blood that i have. I was disappointed. I want to help. I think that the rules should be looked at, again, by the fda. There have been Great Strides in testing for hiv since these rules were enacted. You can get an hiv test in 20 minutes. They i know screen the blood again, a second time after you donate it to make sure theres not hiv in the blood. So i just think this needs another examination. Were in an unusual moment in time right now. There is a war going on, and were all about asked to adapt. I not the fda should i think the fda should, too. No, and thats an important point you make. That the blood is tested. And you get the results back within 20 minutes. Listen, this original ban was enacted, my understanding, in 1983 to prevent potential hiv transmissi transmission. Now were sitting here in 2020. And so it sounds like youre saying we need to reevaluate these seems archaic at this point for a lot of people. It does. You know, were all being asked to adapt in so many ways to new things in life. And were doing it for the greater good as a community. I think there is something that the fda should take a look at and say how can we move forward. This is an fda thing, by the way. Its not a red cross thing, its not the hospital that i applied to give my blood to. It all comes to the fda. Well, the fda has told us in a statement, quote, theyre working on a pilot study with 2,000 men to determine whether an individual Risk Assessment questionnaire would be as effective as a current policy. Does that make sense to you . Listen, if theyre working on something that makes me happy. I dont know how long thats going to take. I just want to give my blood, you know what i mean . I want to help. And so thats thats what im looking to do. And thats why im talking about this, by the way. Blood donations are down if youre someone whos watching and you survived coronavirus, go give blood. It is needed and appreciated. And thats why youre speaking up. Andy, i just want to say you look good. Do you feel as good as you look . Because im wondering what the experience was like for you. You scared a lot of people, and theres so many different experiences about this. There are. I had a great friend who had coronavirus, and he was about four days ahead of me in terms of the virus working its way through his system. So i was talking to him every day and finding out where he was. I had a less severe case than he did, but i feel good. I feel strong. And now im just trying to help and pitch in and do what i can just as a citizen. Well, i know i would think part of the hardest part would be being separated from your favorite son, benjamin. Who, by the way, was voted cutest baby of all time in people magazine. Did you see that . How did you navigate that . You two were in the same house cutest baby alive, gayle. Cutest baby alive i heard. I heard. How did you navigate with him in the same house . How did you work that out . It stunk, man. He was down the hall. I was in my room basically shut out from civilization for 13 days. And you know, it was a killer. I could hear him, i was watching him on the nanny cam. Thank god i have an incredible caretaker for him who really did yeomans work. But it was not it was not great, man. Gayle, is that the room that i would stay in if i crashed at your house . No. You would stay in the guest room. I actually have a guest room with a separate bathroom. You would be well taken care of, andy. Before we go, how are you finding happiness during these times, andy cohen . How is it working . How are you doing that . I am finding happiness actually by by leaning in to hosting watch what happens live from home every night. Were having a great time, and its making me happy that my staff is employed and engaged, and were getting to take peoples minds off of the serious issues of the day. And like lean into in fun and cocktails at the end of the night every night on bravo. Andy cohen, dont ever change. Were glad youre back. Glad youre healthy. Always good to see you, thank you very much. Well be right back.
