Meteorologists across the country are finding special challenges can arise if you work in live tv. We dont need to see that forecast map. Well just look at brody. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. I love that video. Welcome to cbs this morning. From our homes to yours because, tony, anybody that knows a dog, the dog is trying to say, brody, dont act like you dont know me now, dad. We know this all the time. Theres a picture of brody right beside him on his desk. Thats hilarious. I am so glad you noticed that. Its a beautiful framed picture of brody right on weatherman pauls desk. They are a big part of each others desk even if paul would rather brody not be a part of his weather reports going forward. Yeah, brody knocked over his computer. Then he didnt have any weather maps. Yikes. As you wake up in the west, around twothirds of the states are relaxing coronavirus restrictions while california is closing some of its beaches again. Well get to that in a second. First, anthony, weve got news from former Vice President joe biden. Thats right, gail. The Presumptive Democratic nominee said this morning that a Sexual Assault hes accused of never happened. Senior investigative correspondent catherine erridge is in washington. Weve been waiting for weeks for mr. Biden to comment on this. Thats right, anthony. Good morning. A short time ago, joe biden gave his first direct response to the allegation that he sexually assaulted his senator staffer in 1993. That allegation first came to light in march but it wasnt until today after increasing pressure that the former Vice President went on the record. No, it is not true. I am saying unequivocally, it never, never happened. Reporter responding to the Sexual Assault claim that hes been under increasing pressure to address, joe biden spoke out to msnbc. Women have a right to be heard. And they should investigate the claims they make. But in the end, the truth is what matters. In this case, the truth is, the claims are false. Reporter in tara reade worked in then senator joe bidens office. He was asked to deliver biden his gym bag and he assaulted more in a capitol hill hallway. I remember the coldness of the wall, and i remember his hands underneath my blouse and underneath my skirt. And his fingers penetrating me as he was trying to kiss me. Reporter reades allegations have expanded over time. Last year, she told a Northern California newspaper that biden, quote, used to put his hand on my shoulder and run his finger up my neck. I would just kind of freeze. However, she didnt tell reporters about the alleged assault until this march. Reade, a selfdescribed lifelong democrat, says she did speak with her supervisors in senator bidens office at the time about alleged Sexual Harassment from the senator. And then faced retaliation. It shattered my life and changed the trajectory of my whole career in life. And i lost my job after i complained. And i was fired. Reporter but two former biden Senate Staffers reade claims she spoke to told us they had no recollection of any complaint. If there are records, biden said they would be in the National Archives. I am asking the secretary of the senate today to identify whether any such document exists. If it, does make it public. Reporter reade has spoken to cbs news multiple times in the past month. And on wednesday, cbs formerly requested an oncamera interview. Reades brother and a former neighbor tell cbs news she told them about the alleged Sexual Assault back in the 90s. Reade admits she does not have any record of her complaint and did not file a Police Report here in washington, d. C. , until last month, tony. Catherine, thank you very much. Lets get to chief washington correspondent major garrett. Hes the host of the debriefing podcasts and one of the best reporters in washington. Major, joe biden is denying this outright. Hes not saying i dont recall. Hes saying flatly, it did not happen. Is that answer sufficient . Of course, voters will decide, but the Biden Campaign knows there are at least three metrics upon which the former Vice President will be judged. Seriousness. For a long time, the Biden Campaign wanted to dismiss this or make this statement, or this allegation go away with a statement from the campaign. Now the Vice President is dealing with it directly. So that indicates seriousness of the allegation itself. Second, transparency. The Vice President said you can look at the records in the National Archives. Not his personal records at the university of delaware. That might create some transparency friction. The third california, consistency. During the kavanaugh hearings, democrats, joe biden among them, said the allegation itself carries such weight that it must be dealt with as a matter of not absolute fact, near fact. In this case, the former Vice President is saying, yes, theres an allegation, but i deny it, and that should carry greater weight than the allegation itself. On the question of consistency, many voters are going to look at his past statements in the kavanaugh case and this one and draw their own conclusions. Major, thats joe bidens response. You mentioned the Biden Campaign there. What is the future of this campaign as this allegation stays in the air and miss reade goes forward with interviews . How does this change the dynamic between joe biden and voters potentially . Well, joe biden has said that he is a person of character and one of the central reasons that he should be elected the next president of the United States is hell improve the character, the judgment and the believability of the oval office. All those things are going to be tested with this allegation from tara reade. Shell also have to meet standards of proof or standards of evidentiary proof that voters will evaluate. You can say this clearly, tony, two or three weeks ago, the Biden Campaign did not expect amid covid19 and all t the oth News Coverage around that, that this story would carry the velocity and weight it has and require the former Vice President to deal with it directly. But now that he has, the Biden Campaign hopes in the not too distant future it can turn a corner away from this. Major, key Democratic Women like nancy pelosi and Stacey Abrams who is believed to be in the running as a possible biden vp pick, are supporting him right now. What does that say to you, if anything . It says that they do believe that net net, joe bidens character is far superior, not only to President Trump but on this measure, his denial should be and ought to be believed. And if i think given more time to talk about President Trump, they would say, as some this morning have, this is something that the president needs to address as well. There are no shortages of complaints against President Trump. About assault, behavior that is inkong ruous with modern treatment of women, disrespectful, offensive, all those other things. President trump during the cam. A campaign and during his presidency has tried to brush all of those away. That i guarantee you will be among the things democrats who remain supportive of the former Vice President will say if in fact the story continues to move forward. All right. Major, thank you very much. Anthony . Thank you both. Federal guidelines to slow the spread of the coronavirus expired at midnight. At least 33 states have eased their chuck gannon owns two house of pies restaurants in the houston area and employs 130 people. He says while they are ecstatic to come back, they also have been flexible. Were happy that were going to be back together but weve got to take as many precautions so that everybody stays healthy as much as possible. Later today, a rally is planned here in huntington beach. Its just one of several around the country protesting state lockdown orders and in at least half a dozen states, workers from instacart, amazon and fedex will be protesting working conditions during this covid crisis. Tony . Carter, vane evans for uthan. President trump says china could have stopped the coronavirus from spreading to other countries but claims the virus escaped from a lab are fabricated out of nothing, end quote.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Michigans Republicanled Legislature has voted to sue the states democratic governor to stop her extending the coronavirus state of emergency there. Hundreds of protesters, some of them with guns, gathered at the State Capitol yesterday demanding an end to emergency restrictions. Only six states have reported more cases than michigan, but fewer than 2 of its people have been tested for the virus. In our series on the state of coronavirus testing, adriana diaz shows how michigan is trying to improve a system thats failed some of its people. This is like having a heart ripped from your body. Reporter kailas mother worked drawing blood for 31 years. When she came down with a fever last month, that same hospital denied her a covid test, more than once. How many times did she try to get tested . Four times. And every time, what happened . She got sent home each time. She lost faith in the whole Health Care System. So your mom, a health care worker, lost faith in the Health Care System . Isnt that crazy . Reporter Beaumont Health said were doing everything we can to evaluate, triage and care for patients based on the information we know at the time. We grieve the loss of any patient. Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer has expanded testing criteria to include milder symptoms and all essential workers. We spoke to one of your constituents who lostler mother to covid19 after being turned away from a Testing Center four times. Did you expand that criteria too late . I think thats the saddest reality of a country that was underprepared for a global pandemic. The fact that weve never had enough tests, that the federal government didnt prepare, contributes to the fact we had to ration tests at the front end of this pandemic. And i recognize that. Lives were lost. Reporter testing has doubled in recent weeks, but shortages of swabs and chemical solution are still an issue. The cdc guidelines are that we should be testing between 1 to 2 of our population over the course of a week in order to have some confidence that its safe to reopen. And its going to be a little while before we get there. Reporter the governors goal is to test at least 14,000 people a day. Right now theyre doing roughly half that. The epicenter is the detroit area which accounts for more than 70 of the states cases and disproportionately, people of color. There, walkup testing has been set up to reach residents without cars. Has it been hard to get a test . Reporter in grand rapids, we found a 25 increase in testing at cherry health. Tasha blackmon is the ceo. We have enough testing kits but were really short on gowns. Were also short on n95 masks. We cannot expand further without any additional personal protective equipment. Reporter they also cant expand testing because of recent staffing cuts. Cherry health has laid off about 25 of our staff. Wow. And at a time like this. Exactly. Reporter by executive order, the governor has shut down most of the economy. Drawing ire from a small but vocal minority. Some think shes gone too far like sheriff ted schendel of a rural county. Were on executive order number 60. I detect you feel a certain way about that. Its one right after the other. So a one size fits all approach. I can use my county for example. We have zero deaths. Lets give us a chance to go ourkts get back to work, put food on the table for our families. Reporter but the governor says testing above all else will help determine when to reopen. Some think we should move faster. Im going to listen to the Public Health experts and im going to work with the business side of the equation to make sure that weve got the protocols to keep people safe when it is safe to reengage. Reporter the governor may further open the economy region by region if the data shows its safe. Now putting michigan back to work wont make up for the roughly 3 billion the state estimates it will lose because of the pandemic. Always seems to go back to the testing. Thank you very much.

School in the majority of states will not reopen for the remainder of the academic year, and many parents say they are already overwhelmed by the alternative Remote Learning. A recent survey found nearly 50 of parents are struggling to keep kids focused on school work while at home. And nearly 40 say they are also juggling their own jobs with their Childrens Schooling. Meg oliver spoke to teachers and parents. It seems like the worlds caving in on you. Yes. Reporter Allison Ferrante is overwhelmed trying to balance it all. When you look at your kids todo list, is that enough to make you break down. Yes. And its crazy because theyre kindergarten and second grade. Reporter ferrante is a seventh grade math teacher in queens, new york, an area hit hard by the virus. She worries about her students beyond their education. Her husband is an Emergency Room Physician assistant, adding another layer of stress to the family dynamic. With all of that going on, where does education fall in your priority list . Its high up there because it does give you something to focus on. But there needs to be a little less. Work never stops. It is around the clock. Reporter anisha warner is an eighth grade teacher in new york city and a single mom to her 6yearold son. I am everything. I am his support system. I am his lunch lady. I am his im his teacher. Im his best friend right now. Reporter warner said on days when her job is Mother Nature d she needs to scale back her sons work. I cant imagine a parent whos not a teacher at all getting all of these materials. Reporter currently schools in 36 states and the District Of Columbia have been ordered to remain closed the rest of the academic year. Thats around 33 million Public School students. Students like lonnetta wins three Young Children in fort worth, texas. Theyve been Remote Learning since midmarch. I feel like in the beginning i wanted to be a perfect parent, you know. I quickly realized, you know, were all learning. Reporter wilson said at first balancing her job as a social worker with her childrens education was incredibly difficult. After she came up with a daily schedule, the routine started to gel. What will are you more concerned about . Their education or their Mental Health . Im going to do my part also to make sure that theyre where they need to be academically, but you cant, you cant ignore Public Health. Reporter this School Psychologist agrees, saying the most important thing for families right now is just taking time to be together. Prioritize your wellness because if youre not well, then its difficult for your children to be well. So take that time, right. Like they say on the airplane, get that oxygen mask for yourself first. I basically leave my computer on all day. Reporter ferrante says exercise reduces her stress, but that can only go so far. When i do call parents of my own students, like i really tell them, i understand what theyre going through. It must be even harder. Reporter can you keep up this pace . I know i can get through the rest of the school year. I hope we have our summer at least to recuperate. Reporter looking forward to that break. Now some School Districts are sending out surveys like this that my Childrens School sent trying to get a pulse on how parents are coping. My favorite question on here what are we grateful for during this time. Its something psychologists say we have to keep asking ourselves. Tony . Yeah, indeed. I know were saying some parents may feel overwhelmed trying to balance work and teaching their kids remotely. I got to think its more like all parents, perfection is not possible. Everybodys struggling the same way you are. I think we need to go easy on each other and redefine what it means to learn in this period. There are alternative ways to take in the world around you. Very difficult, but enriching in its own way, as well. Meg, thank you very much. Ahead, vlad duthiers looking at the stories youll be talking hi, its jan from toyota.

Last friday she only had 400 left to her name. After our story aired, edwards said she received about 7,000. She says that is plenty of cash to make rent and to care for her daughter and her grandkids, tony. Thats great, vlad. Just bravo, bravo. As many people who are struggling right now, fortunately there are still more people doing okay. If the people doing okay help those struggling, then all of russ going to be okay in the end. I love the ending to that story, vlad. Lets keep the good vibes going. What else do you have . All right. Keeping the good vibes going, cnn anchor and 60 minutes contributor Anderson Cooper is beaming. Heres why so thats wyatt morgan cooper, my son. He was he was 7. 2 pounds at birth, and he is sweet and soft and healthy, and i am beyond happy. World meet wyatt morgan cooper, who came into the world on monday. Anderson named his son after his father, wyatt, who died when anderson was 10 years old. Morgan honors his late mothers family. Anderson is grateful to his surrogate and all the doctors who made this miracle happen. You know anderson is the reason i have a career in journalism, hiring me straight out of my mentorship and helping me to this day. The news filled my heart with joy. Oh, gosh. Me, too, vlad. I was watching last night live when he said it. Number one, it was such a surprise, who knew . Certainly a lot of people did, but the public certainly didnt know. But anderson was so giddy and so happy. And just seeing that made me happy. And oddly enough, anthony, one of the first people i thought was andy cohen. Anderson and andy are best friends. Andy just had a baby recently. So i just see ben and wyatt being bonded for life. Im so excited. And isnt there joy in this particular time . Im over the moon about this story. Yeah, and everybody should watch andersons tribute to wyatt there at the end of the show. Its just so lovely. And i hope wyatt gets to see it one day because he will know how much his father loves him. Its really lovely. Gayle . I know. He can say my son, my son, my son. I love it. I cant wait for him to share more with us. I hope he will do that. Vlad, more good news . More good news. Jordan mittler is his name. He is making sure older folks stay connected through this tough time. The 16yearold has been holding free tech classes for seniors for the past four years. Since the pandemic hit, hes had to rethink his teaching strategy. So he got dozens of students up to speed on zoom. Dozens, guys. It took us an hour with my own mother. And he also taught them things like how to facetime with loved ones and ordering food on line. Mittler tells me his goal is to help seniors feel less isolated. This is obviously a difficult time for everyone, especially seniors who really use walking outside and speaking to family as their main thing to do every week. For them, knowing simply how to send a message or make a phone call is like really changing their lives. How wonderful, anthony. All right. Thanks. Coming up, dr. Jon lapook. Stay with us.

They are 16th street at 12 w. 3 39 avenue and also 59th street, street and davis street. That is look at you morning drive. Lets check your forecast. Its friday, may day, may first, 2020. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with Tony Dokoupil and Anthony Mason. Controversial calls as some states ease restrictions. Others crack down causing big backla backlash. Dr. Jon lapook has answers about if you need a test. And socializing in the new normal. How to connect with those weve been separated from during this pandemic. Cant wait. But first, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. Americans are waking up with fewer restrictions this morning. Federal guidelines to slow the spread of the coronavirus expired at midnight. The governor says its a matter of Public Health. Its the same wac and forth, push and pull across the country as different states take different paths toward reopening. President trump says its possible that china intentionally allowed the coronavirus to spread. President trump also said that he has seen credible evidence that the virus originated in a lab. Talk about a lab doesnt necessarily mean it was manmade. It could have been studied as would be appropriate in china to study avian viruses. That doesnt mean its manmade. A spokesperson said the alleged Sexual Assault, quote, absolutely did not happen. Essential workers with a special edition line of Action Figures. If anyone wants to play with the toy heros, toy makers need to remember you have villians too. We need the dude who bought all the hand sanitizers or the guy who only washes his hand for ten seconds. You monster. There is always a villian in the story, but i want to think about the heros. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im not in the mood for villians today, anthony. No. I love that they made Action Figures of the Health Care Workers. I think thats great. We start with this this hour. Federal social distancing guidelines officially expired overnight. The administration has replaced them with reopening guidelines instead. As of today at least 33 states have eased some restrictions to varying degrees. Texas and georgia, two of the hardest hit states, let their stay at home orders expire today. But not without controversy. Georgia people protested by driving herseinining haerss. The governor has drawn criticism for lifting restrictions so quickly. But in michigan they protested for the opposite reason. They demanded the state drop the state at home order. Despite pushback from local officials californias governor closed all beaches in Orange County south of l. A. After some people packed beaches there last weekend. Every friday were going to be taking the time to answer your most pressing questions about the coronavirus. And this morning we are talking about testing. Testing and the accessibility and what could be the best option for you. Diagnostic testing determines if you currently have the virus while the and blood tests check if youve previously been infected. Dr. Jon lapook joins us to sort it out. John, always ggood to see you. Lets talk about the new tests. Lets talk about the new tests coming on the market like the saliva test. We hear about a new form of testing every day. How do you know which one is the best one for you to take . It can be confusing. The saliva test is interesting. Lets review. The test that goes to the nose and back of the throat backs to see if you have active virus. The blood test is looking for an antibody to show if youve been exposed. It doesnt show active virus. The saliva test just came out of yale. Interesting. People dont like the swab being jammed into the back of the nose. They found it could be just as good. It was a small number of people that were tested, about 44 people who were ill and about 98 people who were Health Care Workers. They found that it might even be a little more sensitive. I wanted to know exactly what it was. Did you just spit into a jar . Is it a little bit of spit . They said its about a third of a sterile urine container. Its not a little spit. But more study has to be done. It will be interesting to see if that better because i think it could be more widespread. You dont have exposure of Health Care Workers to the possibility of getting infected. You can do it at home and send it in. I do like the sound of that. I always find when doctors Say Something is unpleasant or uncomfortable, its going to hurt. We have a question from ann. Ann, i think its a great question. She says i thought you could only get tested if youre simpmatic or have a doctors note. Why do experts say testing is so important when you wont be able to be tested . I think this is important. A medical worker couldnt even get a test from her own hospital in the last hours story. Absolutely. We absolutely still do not have enough widespread testing. We dont have the ability to test every Single Person we want to test with either test. With either the diagnostic test or the antibiotic test. Now, of course if somebody is sick, you want to see if they have it, thats obvious, but when you talk about wanting to open up parts of the country and whether its safe, you have to note not only is there active virus in people. You want to test people randomly to see if people who dont have any symptoms are carrying the virus, but also you want to get an idea of whats been going on in the last several months. So many of us during the winter, gayle, had a little bit of a cold, a sniffle a sore throat, chills, diarrhea. Were hearing about different symptoms associated with covid19 and coronavirus infections. We want to know well, maybe i was infected. Thats the antibody test. If we do that more widely, well have an idea how prevalent was it . Was it a couple percentages of people . Was it higher . Is it reliable . There are so many questions we need to know before we open up parts of the country otherwise youre doing it blindly. And the symptoms keep changing. I hear you say that even if you dont have symptoms, you should get tested. Heres a viewer question from carol ann on facebook, she says when will the antibody go ahead. I want to correct that, actually. Sorry. Even if you dont get tested, you should be even if you dont have symptoms you should be tested. Thats tricky. Thats people who when Public Health officials are trying to figure out who in the population may have been infected and whats going on in terms of community spread, those are the people without symptoms who should be tested. Otherwise, if you dont have any symptoms and you werent exposed to somebody who had symptoms and theres no other reason to do a test, the cdc and the state have big lists of people who get tested with either one of these tests like Health Care Workers, first responders, people who are sick, people exposed, et cetera, et cetera. It can be really confusing. Talk to your doctor about whether you get teed. Im not saying everybody should get tested right now. Although, i think if there were 300 million tests, it would be nice to test e everybody, but we dont have that right now. I know everybody is so nervous and wants to get a test. Your correction is important. Thank you, john. Anthony . Thanks, gayle. Presumptive democratic candidate joe biden has responded to allegations that he assaulted a Senate Staffer in 1993.

As we have for the lafrt several weeks, we want to take a moment to tell but remarkable people we lost to the coronavirus pandemic. Some were known to the world, others were only known to their loved ones. But all made a big differnce in their own way. Here are just some of the many lives to remembr. Three, two, one. Okay. Drop away. Aeronautical engineer was a pioneer whose top secret work helped change the course of the cold war. When i was 18, i was in naval aviation. A Navy Training pilot in world war ii, passman would work on the bell x one, the first plane to break the sound barrier in 1947. And the bell x 2, the first to achieve mack three. At ge, he helped develop the first Spy Satellite and did breakthrough work on missile warheads. He was a renaissance man, said his son bill. He played piano, bakeded bread, and was married to his wife f70 years. Richard passman was 94. Jesus melendez was a cook at one of new yorks most acclaimed restaurants. For 20 years, he worked at a restaurant run by a renowned chef. He was part of the glue that held everything and everyone together, the chef said. Melendez who came to new york from mexico city in 1994, was the best dad, said his daughter. He would come home from work tired but always spend time with us no matter what. He was known for nurturing young cooks said the chef. He had a love for music, a razor sharp wit and a presence only wisdom and experience can afford a man. Jesus Roman Melendez was 49. Selma esther ryan died in this pandemic a century after her older sister died in the spanish flu pandemic at age 5 in 1919. They never met each other, selmas daughter said but theyre together now. Selma grew up in hernville, texas, and married bud ryan, a Fighter Pilot in the air force. They had the love affair of the century, vicki said, everywhere we moved she made us feel safe and secure. Selma esther ryan was 96. April dunn was a fierce advocate for the disable who worked for the Louisiana Governor Office of disabilities affairs. Born with fetal alcohol syndrome and cerebral palsy, she championed the marginalized at the State Capitol. April didnt want her disability to limit her, said her mom, who adopted april when she was 5 months old. April also loved to celebrate birthdays, her own and her coworkers. Said her supervisor, every day was a memory with april. April dunn was 33 years old. Haley herera is one class away from her masters degree in marriage and family therapy. She had a 4. 0 average and had so much more to offer, her mother valerie said. Friends went to her for advice, thats why she wanted to be a therapist. This virus is a devil in disguise valerie said. Never in a million years did i imagine i would lose my daughter. Haley herrera was 25. Billy birmingham was an emergency medical technician with the kansas city, missouri, Fire Department, known for his big warm heart. He had a presence about him and was always able to calm his patients, said nathan hopper, his ambulance partner. Birmingham was also a pastor who started his own church. And a father of six who loved taking his kids on adventures. We just want to thank kansas city as a whole for loving on my dad. Kansas city gave birmingham a heros sendoff. A tribute that included a Fire Department escort, a flyover, and the sounding of a last alarm for its native son. The last alarm for Billy Birmingham has now ended. He has gone home. Billy birmingham was 69. What an extraordinary sendoff that was for Billy Birmingham whose family said he loved gospel music being a pastor but his favorite artists were Olivia Newton john and elvis which is a little thing i love. Yes. I know. Anthony, youve done it again. It shows the lives are never just numbers to us. Thats why i love seeing the pieces and hearing who they were, what they liked and hearing from the people that loved them most. I mean it just shows you, tony, i love when we do this piece how you can be moved by someone you didnt even know and had never met, never heard of. Its very powerful. Yeah. You know, very powerful stuff. The active memory is so important. Its been remarkable this week the total death toll tied to the virus is now larger than all the lives lost in the vietnam war. Of course, there is a memorial in washington, d. C. , for those lives lost. Its a little different because of the war context. But when i watch the pieces, we may need to as a country think about a memorial for all the lives lost in this pandemic because the toll is staggering. The active mem i have so important, anthony. Yeah. And remember, we lost them in less than three months. Every life lost is worth membering, of course. We continue to tell the stories on the broadcast and social media platforms. If you want us to share the story of someone close to you, please tell us. You can e coronavirus cbsnews. Com. Well be right back. Were all doing our part by staying at home.

I think College Graduates should tune in, as well. Ahead, a preview of 48 good morning, if you are taking 101, north of the Golden Gate Bridge we have reports of an accident with a box truck that lost a tire. It was fully loaded so it did cause an accident. This is northbound 101 past the golden gate. We are not seeing a lot of delays. It is quiet on the roadways but if you are going to work or plan on traveling along that area, you might see some brake lights. The golden bridge itself looks nice. Things are very quiet in both directions. How about some good news . If you are taking 101 near the 280 split, lanes have been reopened. They have been working very hard on the allegheny project and north lanes will open up tomorrow by 3 00. A beautiful view on the Golden Gate Bridge camera. We are looking at that sunshine as we go through hour day with some high clouds. The daytime highs will be seasonal. It is a little bit above average. We are in the low to mid 50s and then as we look ahead to what you can expect, after the seabreeze, there are esther lee winds at 10 to 20. We will have those clouds for saturday and cooler temperatures welcome back to cbs this morning. Its time it to bring the stories that are the talk of our tables this morning. This is where we each share stories that we that caught our eye with each other and with all of you. And gayle is up first. Yes, you know im a sucker for love. This one caught my eye. This is a contestant on the price is right. He took a big old gamble on love after spinning the showcase showdown wheel. He had a message for an old flame. Heres what he had to say [ cheers ] another 50 would be great, another 50. [ cheers ] hi to my exgirlfriend. I still love you, and lets give it another shot whoo well, a lot of people were rooting for paris paul after that. He got huge support on twitter. This week he revealed on twitter she doesnt want to see me, but i think its just cuz of the rona. Will keep you posted. If im the old girlfriend, he got support, im looking at this guy and either im really pissed or im really touched. Because you think, you know what you did. So now you do this whole big nationwide appeal where everybody goes, oh, take him back. He says he will keep us posted. I cant wait to see how this turns out. So far, the answers no thanks but no thanks. Well see. Anthony . He did have kind of a crazy look in his eye when he said it, gayle. It was a little off. Yes. If i were her, id be like, i dont know. After all these years. All right. Heres my story. Some people in ireland are practicing social distancing when they take part in the popular rock the boat dance. Take a look. Rock the boat rock the boat baby rock the boat apparently this rock the boat dance is a staple in parts of ireland. Last year people in galloway actually set a world record for the most participants in a rock the boat dance. 1,805 people took part. Theyre calling this social distancing disco. I liked the story because i used to dance in discos to this song. But it didnt look like this. This is how this came about in ireland id like to know. Thats a pretty long line of dancers. I not thats probably a preview of a lot of peoples Summer Vacation reunions, family reunions, barbecues, you can do the election slid electioelece but you got to stay apart. One second. I want to see video or pictures of Anthony Mason dancing to rock the boat in a disco. You must present proof. Those have all been burned, gayle. I love the visual. I love the visual. Those have all been burned. Sorry, tony. Any picture of Anthony Mason with a disco ball in the background, im in favor of. Lets dig those up. Open the archives. All right. Heres my story. Some landmarks in chicago are getting a makeover during this pandemic. Workers are putting masks on the iconic lion statues outside the Art Institute of chicago. That is the chicago flag there or the the state flag there. A mask was also fastened to the picasso sculpture in daley plaza. Chicagos flag, not the illinois flag. The mayor in chicago hopes that these statues remind people that we are all in this together. And also that there is now a state ordinance requiring people to start Wearing Masks when they go out in public. Apparently the masks are just going to be the new normal. Katy was telling me yesterday about a company, though, that will make your mask less apparent. If you send a picture of you, they will print your actual face on to a piece of fabric so that when you wear your mask you just have a copy of your existing face. Creepy to me. I dont know. Im withholding judgment. Yeah. No, i think your lovely wife, katy tur, has great ideas. Im thinking im going to pass on that. If i have on a mask, i want people to know im wearing a mask, people. I dont want it to look like my face, no, thank you. I also like reminding people were all in this together. No, thanks. Pass on that. Yeah. Its a very good lesson. Very good indeed. We will leave it there. And shifting gears, we have new insight into the decades long case of a missing girl that stunned investigators. Back in 1981, 13yearold mary day mysteriously vanished from her home in seaside, california. Her parents said she ran away, but her sister suspected she was murdered. Marys disappearance went unreported for more than a decade. And once authorities became involved, it took another 15 years to close the case. Maureen maher investigates for this weeks 48 hours. Reporter in 2002, seaside, california, Police Captain steve sircone had a baffling case on his hands what happened to 13yearold mary day . Mary louise day was a girl that lived in seaside in about 1981. She disappeared. Reporter what do you mean she disappeared . She disappeared off the face of the earth. Reporter there is no record that her mother charlotte or stepfather ever reported her missing. Its hard to believe allowing a child to walk away or a child go missing and its not reported. I cant remember a time when a child was not reported by the parents. Reporter younger sister sherry calgaro who was 10 when mary vanished, turned to Middle Sister kathy for judges. Laying in bed for answers. Laying in bed i asked what happened to mary . She was like, sh, dont say anything. Were not allowed to talk about mary. Reporter when sherry grew up, she filed a missing persons report. By the time Seaside Police launched its investigation, there was little to go on. It was a very hard case to deal with. Other than the family, nobody knew she was gone. Reporter marys mother told detectives that her daughter ran away, as she had so many times before. Tracing marys lastknown whereabouts, lead detective joe burtina took kathy back to her childhood home. She told burtina that she saw their stepfather william beat mary. Last time i saw her, she had blood coming out of her mouth. Reporter detectives began to believe that william had murdered mary. William told me that he didnt kill mary day, but his wife told him that he was possessed that night. And that he had a demon inside of him. Reporter a team of cadaver dogs were brought to the home to search for human remains. As the dogs went into the back yard, they each hit on one particular spot near a tree. We started to dig. And as we dug, i saw a little girls shoe. Reporter there was no body. Still, the investigators were confident in their homicide case until a year later when it took an unexpected turn. I got a phone call, he told me, hey, captain, are you sitting down . He said, got to let you know, they say they found mary day. And Maureen Maher joins us from chicago. Good morning. You know, i dont want you to give up the mystery, but i got to ask, this grown woman who claims to be the real mary day, is she the real mary day . Reporter that is the mystery. And youll find that detectives and family members, tony, they were skeptical when this woman shows up out of nowhere. And adding to the skepticism is the fact that just before police found her, three weeks before she was discovered by police, she had a state i. D. Issued to her. The timing was so coincidental, that just added to the skepticism of who is this woman in arizona. And you actually met her. What did she have to say . Reporter yes. After five years of trying to chase down this story, the storys been decades long, weve been looking at it since about 2012, she did say that she was adamant that she was the real mary day. Maureen, i so appreciate good tv while were sheltering at home. Thank you very much for this. And maureens report, if you want to check it out along with me, it will be saturday night. Its called whatever happened to mary day . You can watch it tomorrow at 10 00, 9 00 central here, of course, on cbs. The coronavirus pandemic has drastically changed the way we interact with each other and disrupted our social lives. Ahead, psychologist lisa damour this week in our series on the new normal, we look at how the pandemic is dramatically changing our everyday lives. Those changes will affect the way we work, socialize, learn, and vote. Many of us have been under stayathome orders for more than a month now, and while the way we interact with family and friends is different, those connections have become critical for our Mental Health. Psychologist and cbs news contributor lisa damour joins us from her home in cleveland, as we begin Mental Health awareness month. Lisa, good morning. I want to start with this. I was looking at the university of chicago poll last night that said twothirds of americans say they felt nervous, depressed, lonely, or hopeless in just the last week. And i got to believe thats in part because its so difficult to connect with people now. How is the pandemic changing the way we interact with people socially . Its true, you know, were really unplugged from our normal social support. All of the people that helped support us in the day to day, our friends at work, the people we run into at the coffee shop, they are not part of our daily lives anymore. And what i am seeing is that people have activated what i call their back up social system generators, old friends reaching out to people they havent been in touch with for a long time. And i think its a sort of really fascinating thing to watch happen as we lose our daytoday support, to sort of dig back into those relationships that have been really valuable and really powerful for us, and to lean on those. And i know theres some worried that there might be hard filings, like why are you only in touch now . Are we going to stay in touch later . I think we should take it as an honor to be somebodys back up social system and to be theirs. You say these connections are more important than ever now. I think they are. I think that when times are disrupted, we get philosophical about things. And i think that when we reach out to people weve been close with at other times in our lives, its our way of letting them know, like, you hold a really special place in my heart, im reminded of that now especially. Lisa, i havent left my apartment since march 31st. Im literally talking to the birds outside the wind on the 27th the window on the 27th floor. I look forward to the social reconnection part. What does that look like to you . Well, i think it will be different for different people because i think weve been in touch with people at different levels. A lot of us have folks who are in our everyday traffic pattern that matter to us, but were not so close that weve been in touch over this time. So i think some people may be feeling anxious about that and seeing those people again. And what i would say is drop a text, drop an email that says, oh, i cant wait until i can stop by your desk again or Something Like that. Our friendships are context dependent, and when were back in those contexts, they work well. Whats your advice for people who are struggling with social distancing . This is a lard ti hard tim. People are very lonely. Some people are surrounded by people they cant get much space, theyre not giving them the social support they need. I would say reach out if youre feeling lonely, that theres no one right way to have support. Some people need lots, some people just need one really powerful connection. But i would want people to really tend to their social needs in the same way they would tend to a physical health need. To really take good care of themselves. Lisa, i think a lot of people some of what theyre feeling its not even conscious, do you know what i mean . Under the surface. And its hard to identify. How do you know when youre sort of in trouble in a moment like this . You know, i would worry if a person were falling back on what i would call negative coping strategies. You know, whether theyre maybe totally holing up and not contacting anyone or turning to substances as a way to manage emotional discomfort, or, you know, not getting out of bed or being really cranky with the people around them. I would say if we see those kind of patterns, i would really want people to get help. And sometimes they may get help from people around them. The other thing thats really important is that if you dont have the social support you need and you need Mental Health care, you can almost certainly get that now. Telehealth appointments are widely available from Mental Health clinicians as they are becoming widely available from physical health clinicians. What do you think we should remember during this time . I say thank goodness for the zoomzoom i call it and facetime and skype that we can physically see people that were separated from. But what its not the same. What do we need to remember during this time . I think we need to remember how important people are to us. The other thing i want people to bear in mind is if you havent heard from somebody in this time, i dont want you to make assumptions about what this is about. People are going through a lot. Some people may be dealing with very difficult losses. So if you think why havent i heard from that person, where have they been, i think we should always give people the benefit of the doubt at times like this. Theyre really doing their best. And there may be more going on than you know. And so as we reconnect with people we havent heard from, i think we dont want to do anything that suggests that we somehow take it personally that we havent heard from them. Yeah. Yeah. Everyones struggling through this time in some way. Lisa damour, thank you so much for being with us this morning. On todays podcast we talk to attorney general brad edwards who represented accusers of convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. His new book is called relentless pursuit.
