Now is not the time to tempt fate and pull back completely. There is you dont want to stay locked down forever. I tested positively toward negative.

Allow me to introduce you to the newest celebrity chef. Yeah. I guess i forgot to mention hes only a 1yearold. And all that matters. Researchers say nearly half the twitter accounts spreading messages about the pandemic are likely twitter bots. Who could be tweeting out all this coronavirus misinformation thats russian through the internrnet. Its brought out their inner performance. That lady is pretty much my wife every day. Regardless of whether or not were in quarantine. Thank you for being my friend welcome to cbs this morning. Anthony, thats what true love looks like. Listen, its a Holiday Weekend. I got nowhere to go, but im so happy that were here together. Hello, fellow coemmy nominated nominees. We got nominated for an emmy. I hope youre happy and safe and that we get to do this together. Really psyched about that. I couldnt agree more. That ladys face is priceless. Its my face every friday, i should say, gayle. Do you paint your nails as well, anthony . No, congrats. Happy for that couple. Thats what true love looks like. But were going to begin with this, on this Holiday Weekend. Its our first big Holiday Weekend during the coronavirus. We begin with a major test of reopening strategies for all 50 states as we head into the memorial day Holiday Weekend. Large crowds are expected to gather on beaches like this one on the jersey shore. Visitors will be asked to maintain social distancing. Dont forget that. And wear masks when possible. Anthony . Last weekend when beaches were packed raising concerns of another surge in coronavirus cases, our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud has more. Reporter well start in Southern California where beach lovers are mindful about their safety this Holiday Weekend. Memorial day weekend is going to be crazy. Too many people will be coming out. Reporter in michigan, the director of Public Safety steve newbecker says police will be monitoring crowds on beaches there as well. Well be attempting to look at social distancing, making sure people are remaining their distance from people. Reporter in San Francisco, city officials have painted social distancing circles at the famous delores park to keep people separated. Amid the possibility of growing summer crowds, theres a new model from policylab at Childrens Hospital of philadelphia that has Health Officials concerned about a potential second wave. What were seeing is that some areas of the south may have overreached a bit. Reporter this is what policylabs director david ruben is predicting. In places like dallas, texas, palm beach, florida, and montgomery, alabama, cases are expected to spike because the counties there may have reopened too early. The mayor of montgomery, alabama, steven reed, says the four hospitals in his region are already at a critical point. Are the icus packed with coronavirus patients . They are. Now theyre diverting patients to birmingham, which is 90 miles north of montgomery. Reporter in just the last two weeks, the number of positive coronavirus cases in Montgomery County have more than doubled. People are strongly encouraged to wear masks but there is no state order requiring it. I think weve reopened our economy too soon. And i think that people did not adhere to some of the social distancing guidelines. Reporter even so, alabamas governor kay ivey announced entertainment venues, child care facilities and even summer camps will open this weekend. We cannot sustain a delayed way of life as we search for a vaccine. Reporter so as alabamas governor continues to ease restrictions, just northeast of there in the city of atlanta, the mayor announced last night her plan to reopen but said right now as of the data she has and the science shes being given, she wants feem stay at home. This morning were in the famous central park. People already out and about. It will be a nice weekend. The latest information from the cdc is that the virus is not easily spread through touching surfaces or water in pools or hot tubs. Its primarily done person to person. Thatats why the Scientists Say the masks matter and so does social distancing. Thats what the experts say. Have a great weekend. Tony, back to you. All right, david. Have a great weekend yourself. Lets talk about that Holiday Weekend travel. Or rather the lack of it. Aaa is not issuing a travel forecast for the memorial day weekend. They say they just dont have the Economic Data to make a prediction. And the cdc is warning, remember, travel can increase a chance of getting infected or spreading the virus. But nevertheless, some people are still taking the risk and going out. Kris van cleave has more. Reporter the great or perhaps not so great memorial day getaway has started. Airlines report a bump in bookings, but Americans Still expects to be down about 80 from last year. If it had been a month or two months ago, i wouldnt have done anything. Reporter after being home since march 19th, Thomas Bowman is flying from chicago to ft. Lauderdale to see friends. At some point we have to go back to life, however defined, and i thought this was a reasonable step. They have been isolated. Ive been isolated. Reporter but a recent harris poll found 95 of americans say because of the coronavirus, memorial day is too soon to take a trip. With the annual rolling to remember motorcycle ride honoring veterans in d. C. Was canceled, carol decided to stay home in michigan. Were really looking forward to taking and riding it there but because of everything thats going on, we cant. Reporter for the first time in 20 years, aaa did not offer a Memorial Day Travel forecast but expects fewer people to hit the road than the record low of 31 million back in 2009. Still, Health Officials worry about scenes like these. Crowds on a jersey shore boardwalk and this raucous street party in florida last weekend. The florida Highway Patrol will be fully staffed this memorial day holiday watching for drunk or distracted drivers and, of course, for speeders. The covid19 restrictions are being lifted in florida. Therefore, we are expecting more motorists to come out of the house. So were ready for, if its a traditional style weekend with a lot of motorists on the road, and were ready if its maybe a little more calm. Reporter Chesapeake Bay bridge behind us is the gateway to marylands now reopened bridges. In a typical year youd see traffic build throughout the year. Aaa says if you are going to travel for memorial day weekend, do your homework. Know whats open and know about whatever state rules are still in effect. For example, neighboring delaware still requires visitors to selfquarantine for 14 days. Gayle . Kris, thank you. Cbs news confirmed the cdc will release guidelines later today on reopening churches which President Trump describes as essential. The president visited his third battleground state yesterday touring a ford plant in michigan. He was told to wear a mask and carried one. But he refused to wear it in front of the tv cameras. Ben tracy reports from the white house on that. Heres my mask right here. And i liked it very much. I actually, honestly, i think i look better in the mask. Reporter President Trump held a navy blue mask in his hand and explained his reason for not keeping it on. I did wear it. I had one on before. I wore one in this back area. But i didnt want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. Reporter the president was seen in this photo briefly wearing the mask. Ford sources tell cbs news that chairman bill ford expected President Trump to wear it the entire time for the strict policy of the plant and was surprised when he took it off. The states Governor Gretchen Whitmer called the president s decision not to wear a mask during the tour disappointing. This is really important that anyone with a platform has a responsibility to make sure that they model precisely what were asking everyone else to do. This is about public health, not one persons or another. Reporter the president has clashed with whitmer and his visit came just a day after he threatened to withhold federal funding from the state. Upset by michigans plans to expand vote by mail for upcoming elections. President trump claims without any evidence that mailin voting leads to widespread election fraud. With a second wave of coronavirus expected to hit this fall or winter, states are trying to plan for elections while also keeping people safe. But President Trump says if theres a second wave, he wont shut the country down again. Were going to put out the fires. There could be whether its an ember or a flame, were going to put it out, but were not closing our country. Reporter now michigans attorney general had warned President Trump that it was state law that he wear a mask inside that plant. President trump fired back on twitter overnight calling her a wacky donothing ag saying she should be careful or ford may leave michigan. Meanwhile, flags here at the white house and at all federal buildings across the country are flying at half staff in honor of those who have lost their lives to coronavirus. Anthony . Ben, thank you. Were getting a new warning about a rare inflammatory syndrome tied to the coronavirus in children. More than 330 cases have been reported, and at least four children have died. And now doctors say it could also affect young adults. Cbs news senior medical correspondent dr. Tara narula joins us. Good morning. To begin with, what are doctors learning about this new development . Well, anthony, by and large, we are still calling this syndrome a disease or syndrome that affects children and teenagers. The Case Definition by the cdc requires that an individual be less than the age of 21. Now thats not to say that we may not see sporadic cases or emerging cases in individuals over 21. Thats really a cutoff thats a little bit arbitrary in the sense that we know our biology and physiology doesnt change much between 21, 22 and 23 and 24. As we see some of these other cases emerging in an older population, the Case Definition may change. I think it just fits with what were seeing with this virus is that were learning more and more each day. And really what this does is adult cardiologists like myself and internists to be aware if they see somebody with some of these symptoms and signs to be on high alert. You may want to refer them and you may want to alert your health department. Remind folks what the symptoms are, tara. So primary symptoms will be fever, moderate or high fever that lasts for several days. Abdominal symptoms in children. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. A rash, bloodshot eyes and then worsening symptoms may be chest pain or shortness of breath or lethargy or confusion. All of those should prompt parents to pick up the phone, call their pediatrician and potentially take them to an emergency room if necessary. Ideally one that has a pediatric intensive care unit. All right, tara. Dr. Tara narula, thank you very much. Tony . Anthony, thank you. Hong kong is in turmoil over chinas newly proposed National Security law following last years widespread antigovernment demonstrations.

You can look at the video for yourself and see that the evidence fits the crimes that he has been charged with. Reporter kevin goff is the attorney for bryan.

Mr. Bryan has committed no crime and bears no criminal responsibility in the death of ahmaud arbery.

Bryans Attorney Says when they passed his home, bryan got in his own vehicle and followed in an effort to check out the commotion. He was unarmed at the time of the shooting, and he was not in communication with gregory or Travis Mcmichael or anyone else during that time frame. Reporter but according to the police report, Gregory Mcmichael told police roddie attempted to block him, which was unsuccessful.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Many elderly people in Nursing Homes are feeling the effects of loneliness as the coronavirus prevents visits from loved ones. But some residents of the uk nursing home got a very special visit recently. Take a look. So the first number is 5 and 8, 58. Thats the duke and duchess of cambridge. Ro Prince William and his wife kate. They played bingo with seniors in the home. They also spoke to some of the care workers who are facing great challenges during this pandemic. I love that they did this, tony. Yeah, i love it as well, anthony. When i first saw the headline, i thought they played bingo. I thought, i hope they have the good taste not to win at bingo. I see theyre the callers. Im glad we mentioned the frontline workers there. There are group homes with people of special needs of all kinds but theyre not nurses so we dont mention them typically but seeing their work there, that really is the front lines and the work is so important. Glad we got that shoutout. Memorial day weekend. States moving to relax restrictions. Many americans will head to the water for the unofficial start of summer this weekend. And beaches all around the country will be open for business. That is despite the dangers from the coronavirus. Rules vary widery sta rly state state. Don dahler is going to show us Safety Measures being implemented. Hes in asbury park along the jersey shore. My little teddy was wearing a stone pony tshirt just yesterday getting it dirty at the counter. We were there last memorial day weekend. Its a wonderful place. What do you have there . How are they keeping people safe . Its so wonderful. The stone pony is just that way. I drove by it coming in. Great place. Great beach. And beaches like this one up and down the jersey coast are getting ready to open up for the long memorial day weekend. But with the rise of coronavirus cases, there are some who are still very worried that this is all happening too fast and too soon. Many beachfronts across the country will be open for leisure. As restless americans emerge from their quarantine. The boardwalk has been very crowded. The beach you can spread out more. After 60something days indoors, its nice to soak up the sun back on the beach. Reporter in california, many beaches have already reopened. And pictures like these appear to show some beachgoers bending social distancing guidelines. New york will cap beach capacity at 50 . And local governments will require and enforce mask use when social distancing is not possible. Every coastal state aside from massachusetts, rhode island and New Hampshire will have at least some of their shores open to residents by today. New jersey schoolteacher kelly mcevoy is picking up her summer beach tags but remains skeptical on how social distancing will be. It does make me a little nervous. Reporter in one southern new jersey county, volunteers called social distance ambassadors will patrol high traffic areas to remind people to stay six feet apart. Its becoming safer for us to dip our toes back into the water, in this case, literally. Reporter new Jersey Governor Phil Murphy says encouraging covid numbers are driving his decision to reopen, but the economic numbers are anything but. One report says the states shore touris generated more than 7 billion in 2018. But more than 1 Million People in new jersey have filed for unemployment since the pandemic began. In april, the state saw a loss of more than 236,000 jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector. We really dont know what to expect right now. Reporter asbury park safety inspector bongiovanni has been working this coast for 50 years. Most of the beaches are limiting their capacity. Were in the same boat to follow our social distancing rules. Well just have to play it by ear. Weve seen images from other states of these crowds at beaches. That must be a nightmare scenario for you. Well, thats why were going to try to limit things. Were not going to allow that to happen here. When you say limit them, what does that mean . Police will get involved and break up crowds . No, were going to have what we call social monitoring people Walking Around to remind people that they should be separated. Were not going to kick them off the beach or have them arrested or anything like that. Just strongly advise them against it. Reporter ironically, some of the people most at risk might be the ones who sit in these lifeguard chairs. You can see theyre in the process of switching to double chair to the single chair because some of the protocol are only one lifeguard in a chair at a time. Must wear a mask. And in the event of a rescue thairks allow, theyre allowed to do the chest compressions but not mouthtomouth compression. There are emts nearby that can respond quickly in the case of that need. Whatever it takes to stay safe. Thank you, don. Ahead many people are pushing to get those antibody tests despite concerns over their reliability. Jericka duncan and Michelle Miller show us why getting the test was so important for both of them. Well be right back. For People Living with hiv, keep being you. And ask your doctor about biktarvy. Biktarvy is a complete, onepill, onceaday treatment used for hiv in certain adults. Its not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights hiv to help you get to and stay undetectable. Thats when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. Research shows people who take hiv treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit hiv through sex. Serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. Rare, lifethreatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. Do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. Tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. If you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. Common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. If youre living with hiv, keep loving who you are.

The cdc says its open to using those antibody tests to get americans back to work if the results can prove that employees are immune to the coronavirus right now. Antibody tests only determine if youve had the virus, but in a time when so much is unknown, the tests have given closure to some who were previously sick who didnt have answers. That includes our own Jericka Duncan and Michelle Miller. I knew i wasnt feeling like myself. So with everything that was going on, i thought this probably is a good time, im early enough in this pandemic to possibly get a test at the emergency room, the staff told me they had a short supply, and that was after waiting for almost four hours for them to tell me to go home and act as though i had coronavirus. I woke up with a splitting headache, a back ache, and just this incredible fatigue. And it took three days for me to try to get a test. I couldnt get one either. Reporter like Many Americans, neither myself nor michelle could get tested for covid19 back in march. We were told we didnt meet the cdc guidelines, or there were simply not enough tests to go around. To date, roughly 12. 5 million coronavirus tests have been performed in the u. S. According to the covid tracking project. At most, thats enough for about 4 of the population. You tested positive reporter weeks after falling ill, both michelle and i turned to a Telehealth Company to help us get antibody tests. Your body produced antibodies to fight the virus off. Reporter because at the time in april, those tests were hard for us to find. I called five of my doctors. None of them had the test. I went to three places that did have the test, i could not get the test from them. To be quite frank, we were able to get a test because, you know we were advocates for our own health. This week the cdc addressed Antibody Testing in the president s plan to reopen america. It says those tests may play a role in a backtowork strategy if they can be reliably linked to immunity. It also emphasizes there are many unknowns about the testing. Those unknowns have researchers at the university of minnesota recommending against using antibody tests in a work force setting for now. Authors of the report out wednesday expressed concern about accuracy and if a positive test actually means youre immune from the virus. While its unclear if antibodies confirm immunity and if they do how long it could last, experts say the results can bring peace of mind. Please do draw some reassurance, reduce anxiety, Gain Knowledge and understanding from these test results. But dont trust them 100 to suggest that youre off the hook in terms of protecting yourself or protecting others. All bandaged up, took less than two minutes. I just wanted an answer, and i do have to say i do feel better knowing that i have tested positive for the antibodies. Having it and surviving it, i just feel somewhat empowered, although i still social distance, and i still wear masks and wear gloves when i go outside. I feel better knowing i had it. Private labs like quest and labcorp have been pushing to get more of the Antibody Testing out there. Those two labs combined have done more than 1. 5 million tests, antibody tests. And really this is about connecting, too, with the very people that we are talking about, talking to. There has been no other time that ive ever felt so connected when we say that we are all in this together. Its so true, jericka. I have to say i envy you and michelle. I took the antibody test. I was negative which means ive had no exposure and havent had it. And i was so disappointed because i, too, was feeling something, and i thought maybe ive already had it and survived it. Im happy that you guys got the results that you wanted. Im a little jealous, too, but glad you all are okay. Ahead, vlad duthiers takes a look at the stories that youll be talking about later its totally normal to have constipation with belly pain, straining, and bloating, again and again. No way. More exercise. More water. And more fiber is the only way to manage it. Is it . Maybe you think. Its occasional constipation. Maybe its not. It could be a chronic medical condition called ibsc, and time to say yesss to linzess. Linzess works differently than laxatives. It helps relieve belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements. Do not give linzess to children less than six and it should not be given to children six to less than 18, it may harm them. Do not take linzess if you have a bowel blockage.

Heres a couple of things we think youll be talking about today. Actress Lori Loughlin and her husband are due to plead guilty this morning to conspiracy charges in a College Admissions scandal. This is after they fought those charges for more than a year. Loughlin and Fashion Designer Mossimo Giannulli are accused of paying half a Million Dollars to get their daughters into the university of Southern California, pretending they were recruits for the rowing team. The plea deal calls for loughlin to serve two months in prison and pay a 150,000 fine. Giannulli will serve five months and pay 250,000. They might avoid time behind bars because correctional facilities have been releasing lowrisk offenders during the pandemic, gayle. This was such a shockaroo yesterday when it broke as we wrapped up on the east coast. They had been so adamant for over a year about their innocence. I know theres a back story there. Im guessing theres a back story, and i cant wait to hear it. What else have you got . How this pandemic is changing things, facebook . Something about them . Exactly. Facebook says it will allow about half of its employees to work from home permanently, signaling how the pandemic is fundamentally changing the way we work. Heres ceo mark zuckerberg. Weve already told people that through 2020 they can choose to work from home, if they can do the job there productively. I think its possible over the next five to ten years about 50 of our people could be working remotely, would be my guess. I may be old school, but i miss all of you. I miss my colleagues, getting coffee, getting hugs. I would be one of those guys who retires and has to go to an office every day. Yeah. Me, too. You know, zuckerberg says the 50 figure is not a goal, its just a prediction. A lot of people are thinking im going to live somewhere beautiful and cheap. But in that article in the washington post, it mentions that facebook may downwardly adjust salaries if you live in a lower costofliving area. They may pay you like a fly speck. I would ask questions before making permanent residency decisions. Im with you, miss you, want high fives and hugs. What else . A Virginia High School is putting a new spin on drivethrough graduations weve been seeing this spring. Check this out seniors at Buckingham County high school have their pictures on banners. And next friday, graduates are encouraged to load their families in the car, wear their caps and gowns, and celebrate their milestone with the community. School principal patty branch and superintendent daisy hicks tells me they want the stops feel special in this uncertain time. I think the whole point of this is if anything positive that has come out of this it is bringing family and Community Back together. Its allowing us to slow down and appreciate the smaller things in life that has a great impact. And just just hopefully what theyll take is that we care about them so much, and were so proud of all of them. Anthony, you know how weve talked about using humor to cope with dramatic times . Check out the tshirts the kids came up with, it says senior 2020, toilet paper, tossing masks. We shut 2002 too down literally. 2020 down literally. I love that. It was a local tree service that volunteered to put up the banners, and the kids get to keep them. A great souvenir.

A little backed up. We had a trouble spot on the upper deck near Treasure Island. It is cleared. There was a vehicle fire. All lanes are open. Things are looking better. Traffic is still cycling through. A bit slow heading through there. Expecting slight delays out of the east bay into San Francisco. A broken down vehicle near the maze. That may be slowing traffic down a little bit. And a crash westbound 80 on the fifth street offramp as you come off the bay bridge. It looks like it is not blocking any lanes. A little slow at the incline of the bay bridge. The san mateo bridge, a few cars on the roadway. It looks like a 16 minute drive between 880 and 101. Overall, pretty quiet when you get on 101. Traffic clear in both directions. Out of the south way as well as the peninsula. Here is mary. We are looking at plenty of sunshine for today. Seasonal with daytime highs. Looking at a date in the 50s this morning with a beautiful live look at the Treasure Island camera. Lets show you the wind. A breezy start. Especially along the coast and around the bay. A westerly wind at sfo at 23 miles an hour. We will continue to see breezy conditions around the coast and around the bay this afternoon. 66, San Francisco for the high. 75, san jose. 70, oakland. And there we go with temperatures on the rise. We are heating up as we look to the Holiday Weekend. Warmer saturday and sunday and especially by monday. Its friday, may 22nd, 2020. We made it. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Holiday crowds will answer your questions about staying safe as people venture out to enjoy this memorial Holiday Weekend. Black and latino owned businesses are hard hit by this pandemic. Robert smith will tell us how washington can end the logged jam on more aid. And pandemic makeovers. The Science Behind people changing their appearance under these challenging conditions. Some interesting looks there, anthony. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. The major test of reopening strategies for all 50 states as we head into the memorial day Holiday Weekend. You should know the latest information from the cdc is the virus is not easily spread through touching surfaces. Its primarily person to person. Thats why the experts say the masks matter and social distancing. Cdc is warning the travel can increase the chance of getting the virus. Some people are still taking the risk. Aaa says if youre going to travel for memorial day weekend, do your homework. Honestly . I think i look better in the mask. The attorney general warned President Trump that it was state law that he wear a mask inside that plant. President trump fired back on twitter overnight calling her a whacky do nothing ag. One of the things that has kept me grounded is focusing on all the beauty in the natural world. That is the best video ive seen since i saw that video of a shoe eating a potato chip. I think were getting really bored at home that a broken chew eating chips is amusing. Its come to that. Its come to that. Yeah. Welcome back to cbs this mornin morning. The chips taste better in your mouth, not your shoe. Thats one way to do it, i suppose. Yes. Ill be eating a lot of chips this weekend. It is, of course, the start of the memorial day weekend. The unofficial start of the Holiday Weekend. And President Trump says flags should be flown at half staff to honor coronavirus victims. It will serve as a major test of social distancing. Many states like california and new york are open but with restrictions in effect. Meanwhile today sources say the cdc is expected to release guidelines for the safe reopening of houses of worship. Those recommendations were excluded from 60 pages of guidelines released last weekend. During his visit to michigan yesterday, President Trump once again chose not to wear a mask before tv cameras. He wore one for part of a visit to a ford plant, but then removed it. He says ford executives told him it was his choice, but sources at ford tell cbs this morning from trump was asked to wear one and officials were surprised when he took it off. The senate adjourned for the recess without passing a resolution to extend ppp. Its faced significant backlash as many businesses have been unable to get the loans. So yesterday you may recall we showed you how minority owned businesses in particular are struggling to get federal assistance. Billionaire investor robert smith is working with lawmakers in washington to change that. Hes trying to find a solution. Hes the ceo and founder of Vista Equity Partners and joins us from denver. Mr. Smith, always good to see you. I want to start with the piece from yesterday. The thing that stuck out to me was the importance of relationships. Relationships, relationships, relationships. Why is that so important and why is it so difficult, it seems, for minority businesses to establish the important relationships with banking . The number of the large banks have moved their branches from the neighborhoods, and theres a statistic around 70 of African American neighborhoods dont have a branch bank. The businesses, 94 of them or so are small sole proprietorship. They dont have the banking relationships. Its important that they think about creating relationships with the what i call the capillary bankings. Its what weve been working with with secretary mnuchin and others to build out infrastructure to process the ppp loans effectively. Weve been pretty effective in that action over the last few weeks. What is unique about minority businesses that may be different from others . Well, the vast majority of them, again, 94 have under 5 employees. When you think about the value of the ppp loan, its typically under 50 ,000 or so is what they need to frankly repair their businesses during this time of shutdown. And unfortunately, the way that the arrangement is built, there is an economic incentive for large banks to prioritize their loans. And so weve been focussed on driving the capacity for these Smaller Banks and capillary banks to process the loans effectively and profitably. Theres about a 5 they would get on a five and it costs more money to process the loans than they get in fees from the government and processing the loan. Thats one of the issues weve been challenged with. Yeah. You hit on it a little bit. But i want to make sure people understand. Because ive heard from minority businesses, look, i only need 23,000, 40 ,000, and yet, theyre giving huge sums of money to alreadyestablished businesses. I think people are having a hard time with that disconnect. Why do they get it and i dont when i dont need as much . Right. And unfortunately, its basic economics. The larger loans even though they get a smaller fee, its a quantum of dollars to the banks. It incentivizes them to prioritize the bigger loans. Some of the work we found with our cdfi, it takes about 7 1 2 Hours Without Technology to really process the loans effectively. And that costs them about 1500 to process the loans and they only get 5 on a 25,000 only. They only receive 1250. Theyre losing money on every loan. Were engaging with everybody from ivanka trump to senator schumer to think about how can we change that, either the amount or the efficiency of the processing to incentivize the banks to process the smaller loans which are essential for our communities. So if i hear people say is there any money left even . Thats one question. And if youve applied for a loan and been rejected, should you keep trying . Where should you go . So first answer is there is money left. Our estimate, look at the sba, probably somewhere north of 70 billion left from what we can tell from two days ago. And many of our small to medium businesses and Rural Businesses are getting rejected or heard nothing from the larger banks that they had either had relationships with or that they went prepared their loans with. Going to the cdfi is an effective way to actually get the loans processed. Weve been very effective in getting folks who were turned down or didnt hear anything processed. I would recommend people go to nationalbankers. Org or ourshareshare. Com and go through the application process thats there. Of course theres the papals and the squares, et cetera, also able to process if you have a relationship with those companies but i think its important to think about the capillary Banking Systems, the Banking Systems as an effective way for small to medium businesses, specifically minority and Rural Businesses to get access to the ppp capital. All right. Robert smith, a year ago this week you surprised everybody at Morehouse College and said im going to pay off your loans. It shocked everybody. Your favorite memory of the day that day . I think the favorite memory is my mother looked at me and said well done, son, that was my favorite memory of the day. Well done, son, indeed. I echo your mom. Thank you very much, robert smith.

What do you have for us . Im so psyched about this tony. Its no secret i love john krosinski. But Everybody Loves him and his youtube show. Its called some good news. You have seen the episodes of some good news featured online proms, reunions of the office and hamilton performance, now guess what the show is heading to cbs. He said in a statement he could not be more excited and more proud to be partnering with cbs to be able to bring some good news to so many more people. From the first episode, he says our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. Never did i expect to be joining the ranks of such historic News Organization as cbs. We are glad to have you john krasinski. More details to come but were so happy hes going to be part of the viacom cbs news family and contributing to cbs news. I think he launched this as a goof. I dont know if he was intending one and done but he was trying to give us all a break. Its turned into a hit. So the Youtube Channel has collected 2. 5, 56 million subscribers and episodes ranging up to 17 million views. So we can say we work with john krasinski. I like the sound of that. I like it. Ill go ahead and volunteer to give him a tour of the Broadcast Center on 57th street once that place reopens. I love the show. Hes been to our table. No, you werent there for that one but youll be here for the next one when he comes. Very cool. Ill take him on the tour. Hes not seen the former dairy farm deep down in the basement we have. Theres a lot of history in that building. Its a historic organization. Im talking about a cbs product as well. This is turning into the viacom cbs segment. But this is a consequence. We pick our own segments. Theres this great series. Star trek picard and i talked with its star, sir Patrick Stewart. He has returned to his famous role and he sat down to talk to me with his wife sonny about being bald at the start of his acting career. I lost my hair at 19 and i graduated from acting school at 19. And i sold myself to regional theater directors, i would wear a hairpiece. For auditions and then i would take it off. Is and then id do another piece without it and id offer myself to the director as two actors for the price of one. Thats one way to do it. You have to turn a negative into a positive, if you have that particular predicament. He was in an amazing interview. We had him at the table not that long ago and he mentioned a chaotic home life. It is much more chaotic than you could have imagined. He is a knight. He has an amazing voice and you might think that he was born on the manor, not so at all and we go into all of that and the wig stuff is really interesting too. He kept all the wigs over the years. His wife says she has a huge closet full of them. Shes going to throw them out on the stoop one day. I look forward to that. You can watch the rest of the interview with sir Patrick Stewart on cbs sunday morning coming up this weekend. He almost did sean luke picard in a wig but they decided to baldly go where no man has gone before. Nice. Im glad they did. Hes a very funny guy. I loved it when he was on the set. Really loved having him. The newest social media star cant even talk. Take a look. That is 1yearold chef colby. His family made videos of him cooking meals including pizzas and salmon as he samples food along the way. He has mar than a million followers on instagram. His tiktok page has more than 5 million likes. You can see why. He has more followers than most major chefs i think. What i love is when he samples the ingredients along the way. Have you ever seen anybody have more enthusiasm . Hes just the best. I love it. Yeah. I dont know. They must be doing a lot of loads of laundry as well in that household. Not only that but tony and anthony, nothing wrong with a little baby drool in your food. That always adds to the flavor. Special sauce. All right. Every friday as you guys know, we are taking time to answer your most pressing questions about the coronavirus and memorial day weekend and marks the official start of summer which means many beaches are opening to some extent and as the weather warms up more people are also visiting parks. Cbs news chief medical correspondent joins us to answer your questions about how to stay safe this summer. John, good morning. One viewer question that stood out to me involved pools and chlorine. A lot of us will be looking for public pools to stay cool in the summertime. Is the chlorine something that will kill the virus or should we be concerned. Hey, tony, i actually called the cdc about this and spoke to a physician there about this. He said yes the chlorine does kill the virus but the issue isnt the chlorine its everybody else. Youre in that environment. Who are you next to . Are you going to a local bar there and getting a drink and sitting next to somebody. So if youre in the pool alone, best Case Scenario and its chlorinated, its fine. Theres a tiny chance that if somebody is next to you and you turn and exhale and inhales there could be some spread but the risk is who are you with there . People in the parking lot when you go in and out of the building. So theres a question about people. They prohibit gatherings of 10 or more. Is it worth the risk to gather in groups of 2 to 10 . I love this question because i get it all the time now as a physician. How do you think about risk. The safest thing is you stay home but you want to go outside. Dont forget the cdc says you still do everything they tell you. The face mask. Youre with everybody they have been in contact with for 14 days. So theoretically somebody youre with could feel fine but a week ago they got infected. They dont know it yet because its incubating. No symptoms. It hasnt popped up yet and then when theyre with you they suddenly become infectious. Remember you can be asymptomatic, no symptoms before you get symptoms or you may never get symptomatic. That person that youre with is not only potentially infecting you but anybody they were in contact with. So if they were in contact with ten people youre now possibly infected by anybody who they came in contact with. If theres ten times ten thats 100 people that you potentially were exposed to in terms of virus. The second thing is where are you . So are you in a state which has a lot of cases, a few cases . You can go online. This is a great thing for everybody to know. Google the name of your state and coronavirus or covid19 and you can see the county that you are and see the number of cases and the last thing is who are you . Are you vulnerable . Or somebody youre with, are they vulnerable . We all know about those groups we have gone over it a million times. Theyre older. They have an underlying problem, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity so these all help you calculate risk. One viewer said is there a way to safely go on Summer Vacation . Again, every time you leave theres some risk. But its the same stuff in terms of what we just talked about. If you go to a motel, whats the potential for viruss to be on surfaces there. Who is in the motel . What state are you in . I know that people want to get out there and thats fine to do it carefully if youre in a place where the relative risk is low. Its never going to be risk free. Its all personal choice and it goes back to personal tolerances for risk so people are going to be making their calculations. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Ahead from beards to buz cuts how Many Americans are using their time stuck at home to make big cha z3w6nz z1s6z y3w6ny y1s6y with millions of americans stuck at h millions of americans stuck at home during the pandemic, people are not only changing their routines, theyre also changing their looks and many are sharing their dramatic makeovers online. Lets go back to his new york home. What is especially interesting is there could be Science Behind these changes. That is right. There is Science Behind some of these quarantine makeovers, a lot of it is psychological as our own doctor explained to us but first what kind of change are we talking about here . We have plenty to show you. Whether its your sibling shaving your head. Welcome to my barbershop. Or your husband chopping off your hair. Or you getting yourself a diy tattoo, theres a lot of good natured laugh. I gave myself a bald spot. Who knew you could get a bowl cut from an actual bowl and who knew changing your hair color is the change your heart always desired. Are you brave enough to raise your hat. Theyre everywhere. Hat . Quarantine makeovers are everywhere, even amongst the rich and famous. Consider there quarantine week four. Including nfl hall of famer brett favre. Next week i may go with a pink. Comedian and actor jim carrey is growing his beard on twitter so we can all marvel at his meaningless transformation. His words, not mine. Oh, no, that looks terrible. Or when the internet went nuts as singer gwen stafani gave Blake Shelton a tiger king themed mullet. Thats our associate producer Michael Sugerman buzzing away. He says it was less a makeover than a latent youre yost. For gabrielle garcia, shaving and losing beautiful red curls had a much deeper meaning. When you looked at yourself in the mirror, describe that moment. I wanted to cry, but i was so happy that i couldnt. In this time of being so cooped up, the way that i want to deal with that is to empower myself and to enlighten myself through cutting my hair, through shedding all of that. Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head . We wondered, too. We asked cbs News Mental Health contributor dr. Sue varma. I think its very common for people when theyre going through extreme stress to want to define themselves, to commemorate a change or a loss. Just imagine all the stress and lack of control and lack of certainty that were experiencing. And changing your appearance is one way to say im in charge, this is my narrative. It could be sometimes celebrating our freedom. It could be accepting our mortality. And embracing change and taking back control. Dr. Varma also says that change can be beneficial. A way to control what seems uncontrollable. So anthony, get that buzz cut, tony, grow that beard. Gayle, i know you hate needles, i guess a tattoo is out of the question. Dr. Varma says as long as it doesnt harm you or others, effecting change is a way to bring contentment to your world when the outside world is in turmoil. It makes so much sense when dr. Sue varma puts it that way, vlad. In the moment, it looks really radical. Right, gayle . Anthony, i remember you said that if vlad didnt cut his hair that you would shave yours off. I did. Vlad did a little trim. Im still hoping, anthony, you will shave off your hair. I think that could be so cool. So cool. Just just tony, theres no need for you to shave off your hair. No need, tony, for you to shave. I will say im quite attached to my hair. And i would shave it off, though, out of curiosity. But it would fail the test of harming others because ive done it before, and ive seen whats underneath. And it is a mess. There are dents and scrapes and weird markings. Ooh, its a mess. So im keeping it on. If i could grow hair, i would. Im attach to your hair, too, tony dokoupil. It is fun to think about the what ifs. It is fun. That was a great piece. Thank you. Well be right back. Before we go, a 5yearold is impersonating his idol and inspiring people across the country to have a little bit of fun. Take a look. Its called quarantine. Nice beard.

You will not be surprised to hear that cairos mother told cbs this morning that cairo wants to be a deejay when he grows up. When he can grow that facial hair, im sure hell be ready to spin the records. He can do it. He has got the moves down right to the drinking of the glass. I love that. Something tells me youre right. Hes going to be a deejay. Dnice is a good example. Speaking of good examples, before we go, i have to Say Something about joe long. We all know him. Producer extraordinaire here at cbs this morning. This is a good news bad news because hes leaving us. Hes staying in the family. Hes going to go with quibi. Quibis 60 in 60 project. Joe long is one of the most nicest, talented, creative producers ive ever worked with. Anthony, you know it, too. Big loss for us, but great were all doing our part by staying at home. That could mean an increase in energy bills. You can save by using a fan to cool off. Unplugging and turning off devices when not in use. Or closing your shades during the day. Stay well and keep it golden. Good morning. It is a live look at the Richmond San Rafael bridge where traffic is crawling along. We had a trouble spot on the upper deck of the bridge more toward the marin side of the drive. A back up at the toll plaza. You will see some delays. Looking at the maps, a lot of red on the sensors. The crash is in the clearing stages but we could still have activity there on the bridge. Lanes walked. Steet speeds down to 4 miles an hour. 46 minutes is the drive time. If you are heading the roads early, try to avoid the Richmond San Rafael bridge until they clear that. You can always use the bay bridge instead. Traffic is showing no delays. You can see that at the toll plaza. Quiet heading into San Francisco. San mateo bridge looking good with no delays in either direction. Also across the golden gate bridge, quiet coming out of marin. At that portion at least at south 101 heading into the city. The golden gate is quite also. That is a look at your morning drive. Lets check in with mary. You can see the sunshine. Here is a live look at the Treasure Island camera and the temperatures are on the rise. Looking at 50s and 60s right now at this hour. Heading through the day, we will see the wind taking up. Breezy right now along the coast around the bay. We will see a westerly wind at 2030 miles an hour along the coast and around the bay this afternoon. Seasonal daytime highs, 66 in San Francisco. 75 in san jose for the high. And there wayne that would be awesome. Its lets make a deal wayne 20,000. Tiffany i can sing.

They get a chance to come back to redeem themselves,
