And on a lighter note, the black crows are back. We go on tour with the Robinson Brothers who started the band, broke it up and are now reunited musically and personally. Its friday, march 13th, 2020. Well have the latest updates on the coronavirus right after todays eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. Just a question of time. Stay away from people. Watch your hands and do all the things were supposed to be doing a little bit anyway. Life here in america is changing. The full scope of the coronavirus outbreak is coming into focus. And it is a grim picture. We dont know how long it lasts. Usually several weeks to a couple of months. We have anticipated that cases of coronavirus would increase. Were seeing that pattern play out. We know theres more to come. The market reacting to the president s decision to suspend travel. I guess were going to get through this one. Obviously impacted nba, nhl, major league bairblseball, tenn soccer. This one really stopped people in its tracks. The ncaa announced that march madness would be canceled. No presents under the tree. The first one on one debate there will be no Live Audience in attendance. Which begs the question, if joe biden makes a horrible gaffe and no one is there to hear it does it still make you cringe . Meantime, the late night talk shows are joining other live shows in their decision not to film in front of Live Audiences. Amid rising fears about the oh, my god. Navirus. Oh, my goodness. Oh, i should not be this tired. Suddenly everything has changed. Welcome to cbs this morning from washington, d. C. The new normal in america is keeping clear of the coronavirus from business to sports to family life. The list of schools and activities forced to close in order to protect Public Health jumped dramatically yesterday. Companies have asked millions of employees to work from home to protect their colleagues. The Dow Jones Industrial average plummeted 10 yesterday, its worst day in more than 32 years. And the government still faces serious questions over the limited level of coronavirus testing. Cbs news is tracking the extent of testing in every state in this country. The numbers show just over 13,000 americans have been tested, and more than 1,700 of them have tested positive for coronavirus. The growing number of empty store shelves is a sign that we could be in for a long siege from this virus. Dr. Anthony fauci, head of the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of health told a congressionaleeyestday t system in the u. S. Is, quote, failing. He joins us now from washington. Dr. Fauci, good morning. I want to begin with Family Doctors because theyre on the front lines of this fight against the virus and i want to play a part of an interview we did yesterday with a Family Doctor in new jersey discussing his frustrations with testing and then get your message to him. They want the doctors to Start Testing them in their own practices rather than sending everybody to the e. R. To get tested but they dont realize that we dont have the kits yet. Its really very frustrating because we cant diagnose these people. We can tell everybody to selfisolate, but people tend to not always listen to what we tell them. And if we have people slipping through the cracks, they have the potential to infect many others before we finally catch up to them to test them. And that in a nutshell is how this spreads. Dr. Fauci, whats your message to doctors like that one . Well, obviously, thats a very frustrating situation. As i mentioned at the hearing yesterday, the original system that was set up worked for a particular type of a Public Health response, patient physician relationship, order a test, et cetera. It was not designed for a much broader blanketing of the country to have tests available. Thats being rapidly corrected. Admittedly, back when this particular individual had that experience, it did not work for that particular physician, but im looking forward now. We had a Task Force Meeting yesterday and heard the kinds of test from the commercial sector that would be available, readily available, is really very, very close right now. Very close. Dr. Fauci, you said there would be 4 million tests sent out by the end of this week. Are we on track for that . Theres a difference between a test being sent out and the connection between the test and those who can actually administer the test. What we really need is to get the test available in venues that people could easily access. Thats not been the case. As i mentioned just a moment ago, looking forward it is very likely well have that within the next week or so. Dr. Fauci, the fda just issued an emergency authorization for a test that could be administered in about 3 1 2 hours where you get the results back. How soon will folks be able to get those tests and who will be tested . Well, the situation is that the test youre referring to is really what i was just mentioning a moment ago. Something that would be available that is not just going through a multiple step process. The person comes in right now or at least in the next few days to a week and has a symptomhat is suggestive of coronavirus, back a week or two or three ago, there were restrictions on that. Those restrictions have been lifted by the fda. One of the restrictions where you had to have proven contact with someone who either has coronavirus or suspected of coronavirus. Thats off the board now. If you go in, theres a good reason for you toet it youll get a test. But its going to be graded. Its not going to all happen tomorrow, the next day. Its going to start going like this. Then relatively soon, that kind of issue that was just mentioned by the person who spoke hopefully will no longer be existing. There are going to be questions about what took so long but for now, i want to talk about the bigger picture, how this testing when it comes online, fits into a broader response. China has been praised for cutting the number of new cases in part by not having home quarantine or selfquarantine. Anyone who tests positive is separated out from the population. Do we need more draconian measures like that in this country, even though were a very different population . You can do what we call mitigation. Right now, without necessarily having widespread testing. We certainly do want a lot more testing than we have right now. But you have to separate the difference between testing and not. The kinds of things youre hearing about, which we call social distancing, which means staying away from crowds. Doing teleworking. Where appropriate. Now where appropriate, closing schools. Canceling events that bring many, many people together. You can do that right now, and its being done right now without having testing. Obviously, we want to and will have considerably more testing in the future. But you dont wait for testing to do the mitigation. You can do it right now. Dr. Fauci, weve seen swift and unnerving changes to everyday american life. Youve been in this position for 35 years or more. Can you say this is the most severe disruption to everyday living in this country in your lifetime . Yes, of course. There have been an awful lot of challenges over the 36 years that ive been doing this. I mean, oshlgsbviously, hiv aid a disruption for a select Demographic Group in the country, even though there was a lot of general fear. But with regard to disruption of everyday life, weve not seen that before. But weve not had this kind of a situation before. Weve had pandemics. The 2009 h1n1 swine flu was a pandemic, but it was influenza. We were familiar with what influenza does. Familiar with its seasonal capability. Right now, there are a lot of unknowns. And those unknowns theyre frightening people. Youre right. Those unknowns are the scary part of all this. Dr. Anthony fauci, thank you. The impact of the virus on students and their families is especially hard right now. School closings across the u. S. Now affect more than 5 million students. The National Guard is handing out bags of supplies in new rochelle, new york. People in a onemile radius around a cluster of cases have been asked to stay at home. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud is in new york city where social distancing is starting to become a new way of life. David, that includes no broadway lights. Yeah, michelle. The htd ead of the broadway lea was hoping to avoid that because people were still going and the livelihood of the performers count on it. Its really quiet here in times square. Sure its early in the morning and its raining but it seems unusually quiet. The changes and closures around the country have been coming seemingly every hour within the last 24 hours. This morning, i want to walk you through some of the biggest changes. With 500 people or more. Reporter it was the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, who closed the curtain on broadway. At least until midapril. The signs announcing the closure are popping up all over midtown manhattan. 14 Million People saw a broadway show last year. Were going to take very dramatic actions in that regard. To reduce the number of people in contagious environment. Reporter this is not the only tourist attraction closing. We were supposed to stay through sunday. Not so much anymore. Reporter disneyland in california and disney world in florida will shut down sunday until the end of the month. We were hoping the park at least comps us or we can reschedule. Were probably out. We used a ton of our miles to get here. Whatever the number is today, it will double in six days. Reporter meanwhile, ohio became the first of its least five states along with maryland, michigan, oregon and new mexico to cancel schools statewide indefinitely. Ohio Governor Mike Dewine has banned gatherings of more than 100 people. Children in the state will have an extended spring break. Spring break will be a duration of three weeks. We will review it at the end of that. Reporter fear over the spread of the coronavirus is also affecting the sports world. The ncaa has canceled the march Madness National basketball tournament. For the First Time Since 2001, my alma mater made it to the tournament. I just got the alert. And, there you go. What am i going to do . No tournament this year. Reporter Major League Baseball has shut down spring training and announced its least a twoweek delay to the start of the season. And the Boston Marathon was postponed. Id be really disappointed, but they got to do what the right thing is. Reporter indeed, they are looking to reschedule for some time in the fall. They have never canceled that race in the 124year history of the Boston Marathon. Anthony, as i toss it back to you, if you read social media, it can drive up your anxiety. But i have to say, here in new york city, there does not seem to be panic on the streets. People are still out and about, long lines at the Grocery Store. But people still going about their daily lives as regularly as they can. Yeah, david. From what i hear, a lot of empty shelves at the Grocery Store, too. For americans, each day theyre told to stay home from work is a step closer to hardship. For example, nba stadium workers may struggle now that the season is suspended. The Dallas Mavericks mark cuban is one team owner vowing to continue paying his workers. He explained why. Its not just about the players playing the sport. Theres so many people that contribute. The workers at the arena. People that do parttime work for the mavericks. But they all work on an hourly basis like 80 plus Million People in this country. When youre getting paid by the hour, theres a very good chance that youre living paycheck to paycheck. And these are people that work for me directly or indirectly. I just dont want to leave them hanging. Those stadium workers arent alone. 53 of americans said they do not have emergency funds to cover a significant amount of time without a paycheck. Cbs News Business annualyst jil schlesinger joins us. About half of americans live paycheck to paycheck. How do you prepare for Something Like this . We dont know how long its going to last. I dont think you can prepare at this point. Youre in it. What weve always said when times are good youd like to van emergency reserve fund, a rainy day fund. The rainy day has come. If you dont have this money, the most important thing that you can do right this minute is to really conserve your cash. Be very careful. And i dont want you to maybe not pay your rent and i certainly dont want you to not pay critical bills, but anything thats not mission critical, you are conserving your cash. N, probl because we know that a lot of Financial Difficulties occur as a result of health issues. And here we have it right in our faces. What should the government be considering . These proposals on payroll tax cuts on paid leave to help workers, what should be the focus . I think the focus should be the people most directly impacted. So its not a payroll tax cut actually because those people are working who are going to be benefiting from that. So we want to help people who are those hourly employees. We want to have paid sick leave. We want to make sure that people are floated the money. A fascinating thing thats happening is that private industry is stepping in where the government is not. Not just mark cuban, but walmart extended its paid leave and, remember, about a quarter of this country does not have paid leave. Thats more than 30 million americans. This is something where i think we have to really flood the end zone with cash for these people to help them through this critical time. All right, jill, thank you very much. Lets talk about how badly the markets were hammered yesterday. Look at this dow hit. A huge t10 loss. The worst loss since the financial crisis of 1987. What you are look at there is a 2300point loss. President trump asked americans to be calm, saying the markets would recover. His comments came as aides negotiated with House Speaker nancy pelosi on a plan to help people who have already taken a financial hit. Paula reid is at the white house. A lot of people hoping this deal comes through. Do they have it yet . We have some details from the House Speaker. In a letter to her democratic colleagues, she revealed this deal will include free testing for the virus, paid emergency leave, enhanced Unemployment Insurance and food assistance. All of this meant to provide immediate economicimpacted by t the house could vote on this bill today. Weve resolved most of our differences and those we havent, well continue the conversation because there will obviously be other bills. Reporter nancy pelosi expressed optimism last night after an allday negotiation with Administration Officials over legislation aimed at blunting widespread financial damage from coronavirus. Its about medical family leave and Unemployment Insurance. Reporter pelosi has been working with Steve Mnuchin to hammer out the specifics, including paid sick leave. Yesterday the president warned the democrats may try to pack the bill with unrelated provisions, though he didnt offer specifics. Got to wait for them to get some of the goodies they havent been able to get for the last 25 years. Reporter its an accusation the democrats rejected. If giving infected workers paid sick leave is a goodie, then god help those who think that. Reporter the president s Oval Office Address where he announced widespread travel restrictions on europe, along with economic aid proposals failed to boost chaotic financial markets. The dow plunged more than 2,000 points yesterday. The biggest oneday drop in over 30 years. The market is going to be just fine. Thats why i made these decisions. Reporter as the president sought to downplay the turmoil, the white house also said he will not be tested for coronavirus. Days after coming into close contact with an aide to brazils president at maralago who later tested positive for the virus. Lets put it this way. Im not concerned. But senator Lindsey Graham who was also at maralago announced yesterday that he is selfquarantining while he awaits the results of a virus test. Graham is just one of several lawmakers close to the president who have selfquarantined after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for the virus. The president has said he has no plans to do the same. And just this morning, we are learning that a senior australian politician who tested positive for the virus was in washington just last week where he met with attorney general william barr and the president s daughter ivanka. We have reached out to their offices to see if they plan to take any precautions. Michelle . Paula, we shall see. Perhaps news will be maid. Ahead, dr. Jon lapook addresses questions over the good friday morning. Today the last dry and mild day as we have big changes ahead.
