The vows may say until death do us part, but they dont say anything about being together every day, all day. This is a time when people are losing their lives, risking their lives, going to work every day, is it a little indulgent for us to be talking about romance . Not at all.

And those are real losses. I think it is important this isnt the grief olympics. We deed to measure it.

Reporter you say that as a divorce lawyer . I do. Ive been doing this for a long time, and i see human nature and human relationships, and i think if people can make it through a situation like this, like they say, if it doesnt kill you, it makes you stronger.

Reporter as lona towsley lay in the i. C. U. Battling covid19 at the University Hospital in madison, wisconsin, the twotime cancer survivor felt like giving up. I was fighting to breathe, and then stuff started coming out of my lungs. And it was just slowly strangling me. Reporter you really thought this was the end . I honestly did. Reporter with her consent, her doctors administered an experimental treatment a transfusion of plasma donated by someone who had just recently recovered from coronavirus. Believe that thats what saved my life. Reporter so within a few days, you went from being intubated, on a ventilator, to breathing on your own and feeling better . Yes, i did. Reporter were you surprised . I was very surprised. I was til ad hopgain thas hav now received convalescent plasma. It is not clear yet how much it may help, but it is a technique that goes way back. There is a lot of science here. Reporter and dr. Arturo casadevall of Johns Hopkins university stepped up to rct for ea ithe re. Lized that virusfighting antibodies borrowed from recovered patients may help prevent or cure disease. I knew there was an enormous body of experience with the use of convalescent plasma. Reporter but much of this was lost to history. So on february 27th, he penned an oped in the wall street journal. He wrote about a doctor at a Boys Boarding School in pennsylvania, back in 1934, who treated a boy with a serious case of measles. What the doctor did was, he went from the kid who recovered, he took some of his blood, and they gave small amounts to the other children. And then they waited. And the epidemic that was supposed to happen didnt happen. Reporter his article was published just as the first coronavirus deaths in the u. S. Were reported. And at mount sinai hospital in new york, dr. Nicole bouvier would soon be on the front lines, treating lots of Covid Patients. It is incredibly frustrating. It is hard for the front line doctors and the nurses, people who are used to fixing things. Reporter but at the time, there was not a single approved treatment. So behind the scenes, the doctor scrambled to build a coalition of doctors. The first was Michael Joyner of mayo clinic, and then William Hartman of the university of wisconsin, and Nicole Bouvier of mount sinai, and Andreas Klein of tufts uner a crisis, so people get into action mode when there is a crisis. Reporter dr. Joyner led the charge. He worked with the f. D. A. To get more hospitals on board. We just got up every day and kept pushing. Pushing, pushing, pushing. Reporter within weeks, patients were being treated with convalescent plasma. Dr. Klein said what could have taken months or years happened quickly. It is unprecedented, and really inspiring. It is unbelievable. Ive never seen anything like this. Reporter dr. Mussers team was among the first to treat Covid Patients with plasma. I view this as an oldfashioned barn raising. Well get this done. Reporter it may be just a stopgap measure until more treatments and a vaccine come along. I think it will be part of a cocktail, and hopefully it paves the way for a vaccine. This is thein of reporter and this feels good to dr. Hartman, who treated patient lona towsley. What do you think youll tell your children or grandchildren about this extraordinary moment . Ill te tell them the story of a huge movement, that in six weeks time, 2,000 hospitals have come together with the unifying purpose of trying to make people better.

Pauley by tradition, mothers day is the special day when children treat mom to a wakeup meal. To honor that tradition, brunch is served by ourn may mog in new york city, when i was 12, my friends had tickets to see a yankees game. Yes, it was so long ago, kids could still do that sort of thing on their own. I went to my mothers bedroom, where she was sipping the first of many cups of coffee. I wished her a happy mothers day and i said im going to go to the bronx. I knew i was going to have to explain to my friends i wasnt making the game. I was staying home to make my mom a very sketchy breakfast. Dorothy flay had a verve for life that was unbounded. She spent most of her adult years as a single mother. And ill just say this i wasnt the easiest kid to raise, culminating with dropping out of high school after ninth grade. Still, when i found some focus and got a job, my mother wound up being my greatest cheerleader. I knew from my experience as a 12yearold, that mothers day had to be planned, no matter what. First of all, it had to be brunch. A classic eggs benedict and a mimosa. It is a champagne, or any sparkling wine that you, and some oranges. Thats it. Classy eggs benedict is a toasted english muffin, with a thin slice of canadian bacon on top of it, and eggs on top of that, and finished off with a classic hollandaise sauce. Here is the secret ingredient to make sure that your poached eggs coagulate or come together. Vinegar. As soon as im ready to go, i gently drop the egg into the water. It makes you look like a pro, poaching eggs. While that took care of the meal there are some hollandaise sauce on top my mothers day planning wasnt done. There was also a dress code. I had to wear a suit, or at the very least, a spots jacket. And then there was the mandatory carnation, a tradition that signified if youre mother was living, a pink one, or a white, which meant she had passed. My mother died almost exactly two years ago, and living through this pandemic has me thinking about her even more. In some ways, im relieved she didnt have to navigate her way through the danger of it. Im pretty sure i would have been pulling dorothy out of her favourite jersey hangout nursing her favorite martini. And today is mothers day, and not even a crisis is going to keep me from celebrating, to me, the greatest mother in the world. She wouldnt allow it. 43 years ago the yankees had to play a game with an today whrson in the coronavirus, youinto sit tne out. Happy mothers day is pauley it is that time of the morning that we remind you, should our sunday morning be interrupted, you can finish the show online as our website. Or check out cbs all access. Challenges abound for stayathome students trying to learn online. And for all too many of them, there are no clear answers. Erin moriarty of 48 hours, a crash course. Reporter 17yearold joshua lynn thought he had his life all mapped out. A junior in a baltimore public high school. He was on the road to a top college and a career as a lawyer. Im going to go to law school and pass the bar, be like you, ms. Erin. Reporter and then in march, without much warning. All Public Schools in maryland will be closed. State of southd thecl o all schn carolina. 98. 8 of our schools have closed down. No one truly had a plan in place for students to, you know, continue that learning at all. Reporter lynn and students throughout the country, including those in college, were suddenly forced to go home and learn remotely, either through online classes, paper packets, or lessons on tv. How big a deal it is. Reporter doug harris, a professor at Tulane University in new orleans, is studying the impact of coronavirus on schools. 25 Million Students are not in school, which hasnt happened. Reporter the pandemic has broadened in inequities that already exist between students. With so many at home without computers or internet service, educators fear that as many as a quarter of them are not engaged in school at all. And how well is it going for those who are . Every student going into every grade level has instruction, but no matter how hard were trying, it is not the same. Reporter Jessica Rutherford is a teacher in vero beach, florida, who works mainly with third through fifth graders who struggle with reading in a school where most students live below the poverty line. You have 30 students. About how many would you say are doing pretty well under this, and how many are not . I would say it is about 50 . Reporter only half, and that may be because to many students, she is now just a voice over the phone. They dont have someone there sitting side by side with them, coaching them through a lesson, or helping them when they get stuck. It is heartbreaking because we have to stop and wonder, okay, when do we make up this time . Reporter her workdays feel longer because they are. Thank you for reading with me today. Reporter there are meetings with parents and other teachers, all while she is home taking care of her own two children. One ball. Reporter including a 5yearold son, trying to learn remotely as well. Im days, like, okay, what else . Something has to give because this is pure craziness. The expectations arent all teachers in the exact same boat as you are . I dont have a doubt in my mind that there isnt a teacher giving all theyve got, but you still feel like youre falling short. Reporter falling short while children fall behind. Thats what worries kimberly dukes, a parent who lives in atlanta, georgia. The primary years are the most critical. Reporter dukes children range from a 3yearold to a senior in high school. But she worries the most about a middle child. My elementary kids will stay home what i noticed is the work wasnt for, like, each individual student. So my baby on a first grade level this work is not going to help him. And i asked why because i actually see how my children are hurting. The inequities are much more bigger than ever before. Weigh on tdentst may themselves, like joshua lynn in baltimore. Weve always been told in your junior year, make sure your grades are on point for your junior year because thats all theyre going to be looking at. You cant expect students to succeed in environments that changed in a matter of days. Reporter he juggles his job at a fast food restaurant, while taking seven rigorous classes, all now online, which means less help from teachers. I dont think im doing the best i can. Reporter he often works late into the night and early morning, when uncertainty looms large. It has definitely got me thinking, whats next . What is going to be put in place by the people in charge . Reporter there are no clear answers because even educators dont know if schools will return to normal in the fall. There may have to be adaptations in this ongoing environment. Possibly running shifts of students, a morning shift and an afternoon shift. Reporter and even that, doug says it will take time for some students to recover what they lost, as it did in new orleans in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina forced schools to close. It was about two years, on average that last word, on average is important because different students are experiencing this differently. The students in the best situation are doing what we are doing now, they have a computer and a quiet room. They dont have obligations, they are not taking care of their younger siblings while their parents are at work or sick. Reporter but Remote Learning has made one thing very clear, as noted by hollywood writer shonda rhimes, few people will ever take teachers for granted again. I 100 believe that. There is nothing quite like the connections we have at school. Reporter joshua lynn cant wait to get back. I definitely think this actually has motivated me to go even harder and to strive more and to become the person i want to become and even more. Sunday morning field trip to the zoo. Connor knighton is our guide. Walking around the deserted San Diego Zoo and safari park, i felt like i was the one on display. Erdid ale people go, right . From the giraffes to the gorillas, the animals were paying me quite a bit of extra attention. After all, they hadnt seen human tourists since midmarch. This is a typically high season for us, with lots of guests coming through. Really, it is incredible to see it without guests right now. Paul baribault is the c. E. O. Of San Diego Zoo global. Oh the nonprofit that manages san diegos 1800 acres safari park and the 100acre zoo, the most visited zoo in the entire country. Both Locations Closed to the public on march 16th. Youve been open for more than a century. Has there ever been before . Is m there hasev been a closure of this magnitude. The most the San Diego Zoo thahas been closed is a single day. Reporter in the midst of covidrelated closures happening across the country, zoos Space Special challenges. Shut a bookstore down and the books inside are fine. But when a zoo closes, what happens to all of the animals. Nothing is being skipped or changed. Their day is going to be the same. Reporter brie bash bash barbree barneyis in charge of te animals. Employees involved with animal care have been deemed essential. Barneys work continues as usual with a few small modifications. She now wears a mask when hanging out with the marsupials. They look at you a little differently. Sometimes youll get the kangaroos or wallabies to cock their heads a little. Once news broke that lions and tigers caught covid19 from a staffer, things changed. Now meal time means masked time. Of course, all of that food is expensive. And everything from the zootique to the roar store currently closed, zoos are hemorrhaging money. As soon as the front gates closed, unfortunately, we topped makinstoppedmaking money, but or expenses havent changed. The memphis zoo is a zoo with a much smaller budget and smaller financial safety net than san diego. March through june is when we make 60 of our revenues. So recovering is going to be difficult. Thomson is predicting a 10 million loss t the zoo has time when members cantp visit. The memphis zoo has been turning out hours of educational content to keep fans engaged. It is another beautiful day. And also some less educational content. And their popular zoolympics videos, theyve capitalized on the lack of sports, with everything from the tortoise 100meter sprint to the pelican catch. Radar gets the goal. Zoos have had to get creative with their programming. The florida aquarium has launched anvth nam of their new baby rhino for a small donation, of course. Joona ultimately won out. Back in san diego, spring births are in full swing. Newborn penguin chicks are learning to swim, and andean bear cub is taking its first steps. For the animals, this is a year just like any other year. But since normal visitation still looks to be a long way off, san diegos congressional representatives have written a letter to speaker nancy pelosi, asking to direct a billion dollars of funding to the institute of museum and Library Services that would help keep zoos across the country afloat. In the meantime, empty parking lots have been serving a new purpose. From pittsburgh to knoxville to the bronx, zoos have become covid19 testing locations for humans. Chances are you know us.

This is the award for worlds greatest mom, it is a statute a man, but it is still an impressive title. Which is why the aahs engraving company in los angeles cranks out this statutes. I thought kids knew, too. When i invited them into my office, cameras rolling, to record their choice, they were stumped. You have no clue . No clue whatsoever. It is the worlds greatest mom could be in africa. Finding her could be a needle in a haystack, but suggested i reach out to our kindness 101 students and educators, to see if we could find any kids who think they know the worlds best mom. Were looking for the worlds best mom. Yes. What makesworldo than a plagames. Each one gave us a very convincing reason she always helps me. Why their mom is the best. She tucks me in at night and hugs me. She deserves a medal, but she would never asked you for it. My crew was hardpressed to pick a winner. Did you hear the kids say anything your mom doesnt do . I actually didnt. H kid cou h fm. Like whang. Thats true. Maybe thats why they make so many of those trophies. Everybody has the worlds best mom for them. It was a lightbulb moment that led to a hallmark moment. In my almost 10 years, i feel like i have adapted to think that this mom is the best mom. I can see the card now. Dear mom, i have adapted to think youre the wor it because she loves everything about them. And thats what makes her one of the many worlds greatest.

You read more than anybody i know, why dont you try to turn some of these into movies. And i thought, thats a good idea, but how am i going to do that . The first book that i read, before it came out, i thought would be an amazing movie, was cheryls memoir wild. I called cheryl and said, would you ever be open to me starring in a movie about your life but also be the producer. Reporter and she said, no, no, of course not. She said, of course. I didnt think she knew at the time i was a movie producer. But she really believed in me, and giving me that opportunity, im really grateful for. I have only another 300 mile. Reporter wild earned Reese Witherspoon a 2019 Academy Award nomination. She also coproduced a hit film based on the bestseller gone girl.

Were the gaffigans were here to make you laugh again pauley the last time our nations economy nearly ground to a halt, a newly elected president with the initials f. D. R. Tried just about everything to get it moving again. He led with bold actions and inspiring words. This morning we look back to those times with two reports. We begin with john dickerson. Reporter long lines for food, for relief. Fear and dispair. Though black and white,n the co, national suffering and frustration. The virus is new; the struggle is not. Our greatest primary task is to put people to work. Reporter in 1933, newly elected Franklin Delano roosevelt confronted 25 unemployment, the collapse of banking and sweeping poverty. His response would reshape the way the country thought about itself, its president , and democracy. The United States was in the fetal position. And people really wondered whether we would ever get out of this. Reporter Jonathan Alter is author of theng m we ske inside theatta hom elt the night ooseveltelieved ict a action s nation is action, and action now. And he used that word in his inaugural address six times. It actually got more applause than the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Reporter while roosevelt was ready for action, he had to make sure that the country was, too. At a time when the tenents of democracy itself were being questioned, he recast the social contract, convincing the American Public they were all in it together. What is the new deal . It is a deal between the government and the people, of what they expect of one another. Before roosevelt was president , it was basically every man for himself. Rugged individualism. The only real contact the American People had with the federal government was when they went to the post office to buy stamps. Roosevelt changed all that. Reporter he changed it by offering hope. Says this professor in hyde park, new york. People would gather around their radios and listen to their president explain what the government was trying to do. Fe fewrter the famous in number, but were symbolic of a connection, between roosevelt and those suffering with poverty. Something the president understood because he had suffered, says susan dunn, a roosevelt scholar at roosevelt college. The symptom of his presidency, of his life, is warm springs, georgia. Reporter he was stricken with polio, and he never walked again. It helped him to relate to all kinds of people. This living a life of kindness, of respect, of responsibility for the people we know, as well as for the people we dont know. Thats what a real democracy requires. Thats the moral basis of democracy. Reporter with the countrys support for his spirit of experimentation, roosevelt unleashed a flock of programs. They went to work building the infrastructure of this country in ways that are almost unimaginable now. They built 39,000 schools, 2500 hospitals, more than 300 airports, 800 state parks. Reporter the hoover dam, the lincoln tunnel, the Tennessee Valley many Major Projects created with a congress willing to work with the president. That doesnt mean roosevelt was without enemies. I think there is an assumption that everything for him worked. But he had very, very strong opposition. There was plenty of partisanship, and there were plenty of republicans, and some democrats, who thought that he was becoming a dictator. Reporter soon enough, roosevelt would be fighting real dictators in the second world war, which ultimately lifted the country out of the depression. America became a beacon for the world, and its leader, roosevelt, offered a new way to measure the worth of a nation. And he said, you know, the test of our progress is not whether we provide much to those who have much, but whether we provide enough to those who have too little. Reporter that is the test posed by f. D. R. For americas leaders today. Not just to survive, but to plot a couhy twayto emerge from this crisis stronger. Pauley ahead, ted koppel with more on f. D. R. s fireside chats. And the ways another president s have made themselves heard, when we come back. Pauley f. D. R. s fireside chats forever changed the way our president s communicate. In fact, as ted koppel now tells us, they set an example for every president to come. Imagine the world a century ago. There was film, of course, but the news was delivered almost exclusively in print. Tens of millions had been killed in the first world war, and tens of millions more died in the global influenza pandemic. After the war, in france, the american president , woodrow wilson, mustered his wartime allies behind the socalled league of nations. Butldnt t plan here at home. Wilson crisscrossed the country by way, delivering win speech after another. The effort almost killed him. President s kind of barn orm anroundhe country talking to the people. Reporter gyp gyp jill lapore is the professor of history at harvard university. To campaign on your own behalf was considered undignified. So going around the country was a novelty. Reporter in effect, wilson was going door to door, but he had none of the tools that woul tt Warren Harding recognized radios potential. As for calvin coolidge, they didnt call him silent cal for nothing. Herbert hoover, no, he never got the hang of radio, either. That was left for franklin d. Roosevelt and those famous fireside chats. This bank holiday, while resulting in many cases of great inconvenience, is affording us the opportunity to supply the currency necessary to meet the situation. He was explaining toe he about to shut down the banking system. There was an incredible intimacy to his voice, but it has a quality of compassion to it. It is your problem, my friends, your problem no less than it is mine. Together we cannot fail. Reporter this, remember, was at a time when radio announcers war tuxedos to work, when their delivery was incredibly styleized. And what did f. D. R. Do . The task that we americans now face. Reporter he memorized those talks so his delivery was much more relaxed. Never before have we had so little time in which to do so much. He understood that radio was a performative media. It wasnt like other kinds of performances. F. D. R. Kind of took that philosophy to the citizens himself. We would try to list their support of what would appear to be a kind of casual report, as opposed to delivering a state of the union address. You like ike, i like ike, everybody likes ike reporter by the time ced him try teln. E to participate in a campaign called eisenhower answers america. And it was completely staged, but he went into a studio, and off of cue cards, he read his answers to americans questions. And days later, the Advertising Agency picked up people who were waiting in line for tickets at radio city music hall, brought them in and had them read some cue cards, with questions, and the questions and answers are cut together. General, the democrats are telling me i never had it so good . Could that be true when americans are billions in debt, with taxes break our backs. And eisenhower says no, and it is time for a change. Reporter crude but affective. He won. I, dwight eisenhower, do solemnly swear reporter and would become the first president to hold a televised press conference. I see were trying a new experiment this morning. I hope it doesnt prove to be a disturbing influence. I have no announcements. Ill direct it to questions. Reporter the first televised president ial debate, meanwhile, showed Richard Nixon slightly illat ease. Television viewers, and ultimately the voters, watched and picked john f. Kennedy. He was the first president to master that medium. Would you tell us, general, your feelings about your press conferences today, and your feelings about how to conduct it . Well, you said you needed some abuse, but not to any lack of respect, i dont think. [laughter] you wanted law and order in this town. Reporter ronald reagan, with years of hollywood experience under his belt, was, if anything, an even more polished performer. I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponents youth and inexperience. [laughter] reporter and the other president s simply provided variations on a theme. The carter grin that reminded folks of his humble origins as anu farmer. Bill clintons tentative nibble of the lower lip, that slightly quarrelous voice. These allegations are false. Reporter they were adaptive techniques to a familiar media. It wasnt until donald trump that we witnessed the end of an era, when Television Anchors and correspondents, who once served as gatekeepers between politicians and their public, were simply brushed aside. He and i spoke on the day he was nominated. Between facebook and twitter, i have over 20 Million People. And thats a big audience. And its also you and the media and everybody who is watching reporter it allows you to circumvent President Trump it allows me to get a point very quickly in seconds. There was never anything like that. It gives me a big, big base in terms of a campaign. In terms of a presidency, i dont think i would use it very much at all. Reporter clearly he changed his mind. Never have president ial thumbs communicated so rect impact. Trump doesnt need the intervention of the media giants. The tweets generate so much interest and attention President Trump retweeting last night an attack on anthony fauci. Reporter and the nps. Gov sound and news news channels and nps. Gov sounnewspapers are almot powerless. President trump they are truly an enemy of the people. The fake news, enemy of the people. They really are. They are so bad. Reporter hes been very, very good for the business. More than any pre, President Trump sets the agenda for what we read, what we hear trump doesnt bash anybody until they hit him. And if they, or anyone hits him, then look out. Reporter and what we watch. He posted 30 times on twitter on sunday alone. Reporter you may love him or loathe him, but just try to ignore him. Managing type 2 diabetes . Dimitris on it. Eating right.

And she is the one who hugs you, the one to cry to, the one who scratches your back and worries about you. I think of all of the moms getting up each day, knowing it will be basically the same day as yesterday, but scheming ways to injt e ling rooms being turned into obstacle courses, pancakes for dinner, p. J. S for school. I think about the text chains im on, moms checking in with each other. My kindergarten wrote her favorite food, crepes, obviously. Our childrens lives contracted unfathomly fast.
