By the way, the song he was singing at the end, when i get to heaven, was his last song on his last album. Gayle . Wow.

We hope everybody, everybody is following the guidance to stay home as much as possible. So you know were committed to continuing to give you the news you need during this crisis. Even while we practice social distancing and hope you are, too. And thats where we will begin with coronavirus, of course, because it has been a painful 24 hours in this country. Nearly 2,000 americans died of the coronavirus yesterday. Thats the most in a single day by far. This chart shows in very stark terms just how fast we got here. Just think about this five weeks ago, only nine people in the u. S. Had died from the virus. You can see how the toll has certainly accelerated since then. Anthony . And hospitals are still trying to find room for all the patients who need treatment. Our lead national correspondent, david begnaud, is outside new york citys Javits Convention center. It is now an army field hospital. David, what is happening inside . Reporter there are only 66 patients inside, but they can hold so many more. Heres whats being done to increase the number quickly. You see the buses . They just pulled up. They are picking up medical personnel to take to hospitals around the city. The medical personnel from the military is going to start the transfer process to speed it up. To get the patients here because they can hold as many as 2,500 inside the javits center. The state of new york is in the middle of the deadliest week yet. Around 730 people died on tuesday alone. Thats nearly one person every two minutes. Behind every one of those numbers is an individual, is a family, is a mother, is a father, is a sister, is a brother. Reporter the city is converting one of the largest churches in the world into yet another field hospital. There is some good news. Governor andrew cuomo says that the state appears to be reaching a plateau in terms of hospitalizations. Weve been called to the reporter dr. Sanam ahmed who works in Critical Care at mt. Sinai hospital here in new york recorded this video diary. She says shes been encouraged by the number of patients who are coming off of the ventilators. Its sort of a reminder of the resilience that we have as human beings. Reporter Top Health Officials are concerned about growing data come shows that people of color are at greater risk. The Elderly Population is also being hit hard. At Nursing Homes around the country. There have now been 42 deaths at the Life Care Center in kirkland, washington. Another 32 people passed away at the canterbury rehabilitation and Health Care Center in virginia. And the Elizabeth Center in new jersey has lost t at least 12 residents. In los angeles county, the Public Health director now says its appropriate to pull loved ones out of longterm care facilities if you are able to care for them at home. Shes definitely worried. I think she thinks this is it for her. Reporter wendi ezzes mother dorothy lives at an assisted living facility near los angeles. Shes unsure whether bringing her home is the right thing to do. She called her tuesday night. If you would feel safer here, wed love to have you here. I know, i love that thought. And i know youre superwoman, and you can do anything. But i dont think you could protect me from this. Reporter and heres hope for those on the other side. David lat spent most of the last month battling covid19 including 17 days in the hospital, six of those on a ventilator. He says he did receive at least four different drugs, the antimalarial hydroxychloroquine and the antibiotic azithromycin. Its hard to tell whether the medications helped, hurt, worked together. Its hard to tell. Thats why we need more research in this area. Reporter davids 44 years old. Hes a lawyer in new york city. He only had exercise induced asthma as a preexisting condition. He is home this morning. And the simple task of getting from the couch to the kitchen, he says, leaves him out of breath. The bottom line, he is a survivor. Yeah. More than a quarter of a million survivors globally. Important to highlight that, as well. We appreciate that report. Now to washington where President Trump is threatening to pull u. S. Funding from the world health organization. The w. H. O. Sent out multiple coronavirus alerts earlier this year. In fact, declaring it a Global Health emergency in january. The president largely dismissed those warnings saying also in january its going to be just fine. Thats a direct quote. As ben tracy reports, mr. Trump claiaims the w. H. O. Failed. They called it wrong. They missed the call. Reporter the president is shifting blame for the spread of the coronavirus to the world health organization, saying it should have provided better warnings. They didnt report it. If they did they must have seen it, but they didnt report it. Reporter the organization labeled coronavirus a Global Health emergency in january. Im declaring the Public Health emergency of international concern. Reporter meanwhile, the president says he was not aware of memos written by his trade adviser, peter navarro, in late january and february that warned of a fullblown covid19 pandemic that could infect 100 million americans. I heard he wrote memos talking about pandemic. I didnt see them, i didnt look for them either. Reporter the president did ban most travel from china and formed a Coronavirus Task force in late january but downplayed the threat publicly. I think its going to be under control. Reporter the president now says he did not want to alarm the country. Reporter you said within a couple of days the cases will be down to zero . Im a cheerleader for this country. I dont want to create havoc and shock and everything else. But ultimately, when i was saying that, im closing it down. I obviously was concerned about. It. Reporter for cbs this morning, ben tracy, the white house. Dr. Deborah birx is the White House Coronavirus response coordinator and joins us now with more on this story. Dr. Birx, thank you so much for joining us. I know you are very, very busy these days. I want to start with the numbers. Again here in new york because there are now 730 more families who are mourning the loss of a loved one. Yet despite the devastating number, there do appear signs in new york that the virus is slowing here, the spread of the virus is slowing. What is the data showing you all, and what does that mean for other states . Thank you for recognizing the impact that this virus is having on families, on communities, on counties, and on states. And i think really when you work on pandemics, you have to always be conscious that there are human beings behind each one of the numbers. So we do track the numbers very carefully. We track the numbers because they were a reflection of whats happening to people in the community. We are beginning to see some flattening of the number of new cases per day in specific metro areas. Remember, we do this granularly. We look at the county level. We triangulate testing data with case data with hospitalizations, with icus, and the deaths that are occurring to get a full picture of whats happening community by community. The cdc were hearing is reportedly considering easing the guidelines for workers in critical jobs if theyre asymptomatic. What can you tell us about that . I think theyre going to publish it today. Its a very important piece because it looks at degree of exposure and really making it clear that exposure occurs within six feet for more than 15 minutes. Really understanding where you shouldnt be within six feet of people right now. But if youre in a work situation where you have to be, there will be a series of recommendations that if you had had a significant exposure of what specifically to do. And if youve had a less exposure, what to do. We really want to thank all of our critical frontline workrs. The Health Care Workers. But also the individuals driving the trucks and bringing food to Grocery Stores and making sure that we have the ability to have the essentials that we need every day. I would imagine you dont want to step into this controversy that the president apparently has created where hes blasted the w. H. O. Does he have a point for blaming them . What he says, for spreading the virus . Does he have a point . You know, the w. H. O. Can only react to the data its given. And when you go back and look at the timeline, it wasnt until i think almost the middle of january that china reported that there was humantohuman transmission. We have to really investigate reporting and how the reports were received there. I think it did delay the ability to declare this a Global Pandemic, an emergency. We can do all of that when we get through this as a Global Community to really understand how to do this better the next time. Dr. Fauci says, listen, we all know that summer plans look dicey right now. Dr. Fauci said something i think was encouraging to a lot of parents that he thinks schools will be able to go back in session in the fall. Do you see that, as well . Were very encouraged about no one has done this kind of mitigation before. I just want to be very clear, nowhere around the world have we done what were doing together as a Global Community, and specifically as americans here in the united states. Were learning every day how to do it, how to do it better, what needs to be done. All of this was theory et ic until we saw the incredible impact of mitigation in california and washington state. And beginning to see those early chutes of success and mitigation in the large metro areas. These are what were learning from. Well learn also clearly what happens in china now that theyve opened things back up. Were watching closely. I think were better prepared for analyzing whats happening now and whats going to happen in the future. Dr. Deborah birx. Thank you. Always good to see you. May we say i hope your granddaughter is better. You talked about her with the 105 fever. We gasped at that. Five days of that was tough, but now she has the rash, so i noti roseola, so im very relieved. Rash looks good under the circumstances. Yes. Tony . A rash does look good. It was nice to hear dr. Birx say that frontline workers with more than Just Health Care workers. There are all kind of frontline workers. Thats where were going to go now, to Grocery Stores. At least five employees at supermarket chains across the country have died from the virus including two at the same chicago area walmart. Walmart says it is, quote, heartbroken by those deaths. It faces a wrongful death lawsuit from the family of one of those workers. Our adriana diaz spoke to the sister of the other worker who died. Everybody at walmart loved him. Reporter when Angela Mcmillan called to check on her brother thomas at the hospital, a nurse came to the phone instead. Said, we did everything we could. And i said, wait a minute, are you telling me my brother passed away . Reporter 48yearold thomas, whod worked for walmart for nine years, died two days after calling an ambulance for himself after struggling to stand up. Do you think if your brother was wearing a mask and gloves at work . I dont think they were wearing none of them were Wearing Masks and gloves. Reporter for employees trying to keep up with customer demands, theres no break. What do we want ppe reporter tuesday, Grocery Store workers in boston demanded masks and gloves, fully paid sick leave, and hazard pay. Some stores have installed floor markers and plexiglass including walmart. The company is limiting customers in stores, providing masks and gloves for employees who want them, and taking their temperatures upon arrival. These measures should have been taken from day one. Reporter thats not stopping attorney Tony Kalogerakos from suing walmart on behalf of rolando evans who died from the virus the same week. The wrongful death suit claims the store failed to notify employees that others had symptoms of the virus. I am concerned because im a walmart consumer. I love walmart. So to think that i have to risk my life when i walk through the door is scary. Reporter walmart responded to the wrongful death suit saying its taking the issue seriously and will respond in court once it receives the complaint. Its not known if the employees contracted the virus while working here at this store. Of course, any essential employees faced increased exposure despite leaving their homes and being around others. Anthony . Thank you. Tens of thousands of people left wuhan, china, this morning for the first time in 2. 5 months. Chinas government just lifted travel restrictions on the city where the worldwide coronavirus outbreak began. Ramy inocencio shows us a region possibly on the rebound. Reporter at the stroke of midnight, wuhan celebrated liberation from its 76day lockdown, honoring its frontline workers in a light show. Drivers sped off as highways reopened, and highspeed trains departed just after dawn. Along city streets, cherry trees are now blossoming as shoppers return to reopened stores. A stark contrast to a city that just days ago was under one of the largest lockdowns in history. Cbs news was the first u. S. News network to report from wuhan in january. Our team evacuated just before the city went into confinement. A measure that grew to more than 60 Million People across china. Emergency hospitals sprung up almost overnight, and empty streets were the new normal. Those who disobeyed containment were beaten, hauled away, or sealed in their homes by authorities. 21yearold megan monroe has been in wuhan since the lockdown began. Everyones out and about. And everyone was just so, so happy. I felt joy in the air. Reporter but epidemiologists warn that widespread travel out of wuhan could mark the start of chinas second wave. One of my concerns is that were going to get into a nasty cycle of having to have repeated lockdowns. Maybe every two or three months because there will be a resurgence.

We are coming to you from, lets see, gayles family room, anthonys dining room, and my unfinished basement in order to do our part to be socially distant but still, of course, bringing you this crucial news at this time. Were going to begin with the race for personal protective equipment. California has a wide ranging agreement to buy ppe for its medical workers. And governor gavin newsom signed the deal reportedly costing 1 billion and did it out of a frustration he said with the federal response. A department of health and Human Services report this week echos urgent calls from hospitals for more supplies. One administrator cited a three to s to sixmonth delay for critical face masks. Dr. Jon lapook looks into the ppe supply chain. We dont have enough. You know, its its one n95 mask for the entire for the entire shift. One night recently, there was only one gown on the floor. Every day when i go to work, i feel like a sheep going to slaughterment. Reporter these are the battle cries of doctors and nurses on the front lines fighting coronavirus without the proper armor. This right here is my n95 mask that i will be wearing for the whole day throughout my shift. Reporter how did we get here where Health Care Workers have to fight for ppe so they can fight the virus without getting infected themselves. We are all shopping china to try to get these materials, and were all competing against each other. Reporter a large portion of the u. S. Ppe supply, like gloves, gowns, and masks, comes from china. This is a senior fellow at the center for Global Development and an expert on supply chain management. I think its about two billion, say, n95 respirators that we would use. At least half or more comes from china. Reporter two million or two billion . Two billion. Reporter is that each year . Yes. Reporter as coronavirus cases rose in china earlier this year, he said ppe production took a hit even as demand for it spiked. Large supply distributors told u. S. Hospitals it could be months before their orders were met. The links in the supply chain have been broken. Federal stockpile almost depleted. Statelevel stockpiles hold limited supplies, and distributors not being able to deliver n95s in any significant quantity for three to six weeks. Reporter states and the federal government stepped in to help find and buy ppe. But thats led to bidding wars. Like being on ebay with 50 other States States are competing against states right now. Thats no secret. Were all competing against each other. States one against another, federal government competing against states. Reporter President Trump has insisted he is sending states what they need. Since last sunday, cargo planes have delivered almost, listen to this, 300 million gloves, almost 8 million masks, and 3 million gowns. Reporter a department of Homeland Security official told cbs news the Strategic National stockpile of protective gear is almost depleted. Last week, President Trump invoked the defense production act ordering private companies to help manufacture ventilators and n95 face masks. But it could be weeks before hospitals get the ppe. And donations arent always enough. The nation isnt ready to provide medical care in large catastrophes or big epidemics of contagious disease. Reporter experts have said for years if a Global Pandemic were to hit, the u. S. May not have enough ppe. Public health is about overplanning. Reporter beth cameron around the Response Office under the obama and trump administrations. It was dissolved by the white house in 2018, and she believes that move left the country less prepared. Im really worried about the competition between states. Its the thing that keeps me up at night right now. I think that in the absence of a unified federal plan, states dont have any choice but to be prepared for their constituents. Reporter in your opinion, what entity is best prepared to do that kind of unified plan . Id like to see a logistics czar at this point to be honest with you, in my opinion. And i think that logistics czar could come from the military or could be a former military commander. Were going to need a plan for moving and sharing medical equipment across the united states. I hope that we dont need to use that plan, but i think if we have that plan were not going to regret it. Reporter for those on the front lines, its a matter of life or death. If we did have enough ppe, we wouldnt be forced to use the n95s over and over again. We cant do our jobs effectively if we are sick. Were not safe and, therefore, youre not safe. If you dont have Health Care Workers, you cannot save lives. Reporter youve heard that theyve had to reuse the n95 masks because theyre such precious commodities. Thats led medical Centers Across the country to figure out ways of repurposing them. Of sanitizing them. Like so many other things in this outbreak, were trying to figure it out on the fly as we go. Tony . Yeah. Were definitely in whatever it takes territory with this crisis. Thank you very much. We want to let our viewers know that as you saw, we looked at how we got to this point. Tomorrow were going to focus on the push to secure critical supplies with china turning its manufacturing might toward producing personal protective equipment, governments all around the world are lining up to buy it, whatever they can, but were going to explain why the u. S. Is at a serious disadvantage. And thats troubling. We really need that equipment. Anthony, im going to toss to you. What do you have coming up .

He was just 23 when a glowing review from film critic roger ebert launched his career in 1970. From that day on, i didnt have an empty seat.

Welcome back to cbs this morning. Terrible toll coronavirus deaths hit a high in the u. S. They talk about unthinkable decisions facing the doctors. David chang on the devastating effect of the virus on restaurants. And together apart. Jewish families get creative to celebrate passover from afar. First heres todays eye opener at 8 00. It has been a painful 24 hours in this country. Nearly 2000 americans died of the coronavirus yesterday. Thats the most in a single day. Hospitals are still trying to find room for all the patients who need treatment. You see the buses behind me . They pulled p. Theyre picking up medical personnel to take them around the city. That medical personnel from the military to going to speed up the transfer process. President trump is threatening to pull funding from the world health organization. They missed the call. No one has done this kind of mitigation before. I want to be very clear. Nowhere around the world have we done what were doing together as a Global Community and specifically as americans here in the united states. Weve seen many videos of neighbors singing on their balconies, playing music, having socially distance dance parties. I think this is the first. A guy on the third or fourth floor poured a glass of wine from a bottle of wine into the glass of a woman below them. This happened in portland, oregon. Theyre hanging outside the windows to applaud nearby hospital workers. And that is a generous pour. Thats the new way to drink responsibly. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Well, you cant say that americans arent very inventive. You know, i dont drink, but people tell me maybe i should think about having a nice glass of wine. I like how those guys are thinking . Yeah. Suddenly the penthouse participants arent as hot because you cant pour the wine up. It has to go down. I like the garden apartments. Exactly. They figured it out. Welcome back to cbs this morning. As you can see, were broadcasting from all our homes. We hope you, too, are following the guidelines to stay home as much as you possibly can. We begin with this. A warning from officials who told us at the beginning of the week that this would be a devastating week for the coronavirus pandemic. And they were right. Already we have seen our deadliest days so far. The u. S. Death toll is fast approaching 13,000. Nearly 2000 of them died just yesterday. Anthony, thats more than any other country has reported for one single day. Its a lot. It is. Over the last week or death toll has more than tripled. The numbers could be even higher because of under reporting. The u. S. Has the Third Largest number of coronavirus deaths in the world. But take a look at this. Among the ten hardest hit nations we actually have one of the lowest death rates for each 100 confirmed cases. Of course, other countries may be underreporting as well. Well, the navy is still testing sailors on an Aircraft Carrier hit by an outbreak of the virus. 230 cases were reported. Acting navy secretary, thomas modally resigned yesterday over his criticism of the ships captain freed over the weekend. He told the crew that the captain was either stupid or naive after a letter that was written leading for help leaked to the media. The crew as you may remember cheered loudly as he left earlier this week. He has reportedly tested positive for the virus. Yeah. Theres never a great time for a crisis in leadership. But especially not now. Groer governors in hard hit states say theyre hitting ventilator shortages. In states like new york, louisiana and michigan, doctors may soon face life and death decisions about who will get a breathing machine and who will not. Tara narula shows us how hospitals across the country are tackling the crisis. My father was larger than life. Reporter jade roths father lived according to his own script. But in the end, his daughter says coronavirus robbed the 78yearold of his final chapter. He died of Heart Failure just days after his new york City Hospital cancelled his elective heart surgery. When he was told the procedure was cancelled, you felt like it precipitated some of his very quick decline. Yes, i did. Now, that clearly is a subjective view. And i want to be very clear that there are always hard decisions to be made. And i dont see that theres any blame here. Still, jade roth wonders what makes one life more worth saving than another. A question joseph smith hopes he never has to answer, an indianapolis doctor. As a physician, its nauseating and just the idea that we would take a step back and say that one person is more likely to survive than the other so we should provide the intensive care to the person thats more likely to survive, that is a very difficult thing. With hospital visitations limited, a new york cardiologist shows us how many conversations are happening. This is her helping an 84yearold patient talk to a daughter. I told them the fact that we no longer can provide the Critical Care that your Family Member needs. She grapples with the new ethical questions shes facing. Im not god. Im far from god. Im just very limited. Limited in resources. How many people doctor Stephen Thomas thinks physicians should not have to shoulder the burden of deciding who gets resources and who doesnt. He helped build a triage team to create a blueprint. Its chief medical operators, infectious diseases, spiritual leaders. Theyre basically getting together to try to understand what is the objective evidence that we have that will allow us to sort of prognosticate who does or does not have a high likelihood of surviving and trying to basically just come up with in a fair and transparent way that everyone can agree upon. A bio ethicist helped write how to fairly allocate things like ventilators and icu beds. Everyone gets a priority. One is the highest priority. And then we let the supply on a given day determine how many people get those resources. Is age a factor at all in how you prioritize people . Age is only a factor as a last resort tie breaker. And no other personal characteristic be it race, gender, disability, or anything else goes into the calculation at all. If there was a hospital that did not have in this place, it may fall on the treating doctor to be making some of these decisions. What kind of impact might that have on that physician . I think it would be hard to overstate the potential stress that this Decision Making really requires if it falls to you at the bedside. Because it is an impossible choice. Yeah. It is a truly impossible choice. And doctor tara narula joins us now. Its clear from your piece that there are no longer good choices at the hospitals. Only hard choices. One of the choices thats reportedly popping up are dnr orders for coronavirus patients in some hospitals. What can you tell us about those . Well, this is a concept thats difficult for us to wrap our mind around. And many people think its draconian. But really it signifies this ship from looking at the well being to the patient in front of us to the well being of the population at large. Essentially what it means is if you come into an emergency room and youre covid positive, the decision is made youre a dnr, do not resuscitate. You would not be resuscitated if you went into cardiac arrest with cpr. The reason is when you perform cpr, it becomes an infectious and high risk for those treating the patient. The reality is that its very unlikely that people tend to survive cardiac arrest when theyre in the hospital. Survival rates are around 29 and it requires a lot of personal protective equipment. Thats why that is being floated around. Now, the bigger issue really is that families should be having a discussion about dnr and code status and living wills and Health Care Proxies now before they get into a situation when theyre in the hospital. Its a tough conversation but needs to be happening at home with families. Yeah. Youve got to think about these things before. In the moment, the crisis just engulfs you. You mentioned guidelines at a pennsylvania hospital. You know, who gets the preferential treatment beyond the people you mentioned in the piece . Right. So its important to note that there is no set of uniform standardized guidelines in this country. And the pen guidelines are looking at two things. What is the chances that somebody will survive to get out of the hospital, and what are the chances that they will have a longterm life span survivability. Outside of that, they are assigned the point score. Lets say we have a same score, they look at age and who is a Health Care Provider. Who is contributing to treating this epidemic or pandemic. And that person would get higher priority. Important to note that all patients get treated the same with this scoring system. Its amazing, doctor. All the experts in the world can run through those calculations but i dont know that theyll ever make sense to families who dont get the treatment for their loved one. Very hard choices here. Thank you very much. Absolutely. Ahead, how the pandemic is changing the celebration of passover which by the way life doesnt update you about your credit card.

Thank you doctors nurses cities across the country on lockdown. Few industries have been harder hit by the pandemic than restaurants. Theyre estimated to employ nearly 16 Million People in the u. S. Many have been forced to close or shift to takeout and delivery. David chang is the founder of a restaurant which is a last month he closed all 16 of his restaurants both in the u. S. And abroad. Abroad. Chang also laid off more than 800 employees and is giving up his salary. He joins us from farmingdale, new york. Good morning. Thank you so much for being with us. Thank you for having me. David, what can be done right now to help restaurants . Youre painting an extremely dire picture now that this industry is in serious trouble. What can be done to help . I think the restaurants that are open try to order directly and as much as you possibly can from your local neighborhood restaurants. Theres a lot of restaurant fundraisers there are happening, as well. But i think most importantly, make sure your local, state, and congressional representatives are doing their best to support the interests of independent restaurants across the country. You want the government you want people to press the government to actually bail out real estate owners, why is that . Well, its not something i would like to happen, but you know, speaking to a lot of my peer group already, they expect rent to be paid a lot of them now. Theres no amnesty, and we need some kind of regulations to governor whaern that looks like govern what that looks like. While there was a stimulus package passed, its not comprehensive enough for many Small Business owners, not just restaurants. Yeah, and rent im sure is the one constant cost youre having to deal with. Gayle, youve got a question. I do. David, its good to see you. Im so sorry its under these circumstances. I believe that we will all be forever changed by what is happening. I heard you say the other day that this has been the hardest, hardest two weeks of your life. So im wondering if you would share with us what its been like for you and your team, some specifics, and how you guys are getting through. Whats it been like for all of you . You know, ive likened this to what you learn in college as a trolley car problem. Where effectively you have to make two decisions, and both are bad outcomes for somebody. And the hardest thing is not knowing how to make the right decision in this horrible time. And its been really difficult to have to make horrible decisions when i say horrible decisions, that negatively impact your employees. Theres nothing you can do about it truly. You always want to be in this position where you can make everyone happy. Thats sorts of why were in this business. Yeah. Its just not a good place to be when not everyone can win. Its been tough. Hey, david, you know, big chain restaurants have plenty of virtues, im not a smob about it. In my neighborhood and cities across america, who makes the place is the little guys, the local food. In this crisis, do you think that the big chains because they have deeper pockets are going to be the ones that survive . If so, what happens to the character of an American City when all thats left is, well, the National Brands . Yeah. Were going to lose the very eclectic mix that makes dining out in america so wonderful. And its not because the restaurant thats are big corporate chains are going to survive, you know, because theyre corporate chains, theyre going to have the cash flow and have the Standard Operating Procedures to implement any changes in a postcovid19 world. And all of those small restaurants and businesses that everyone enjoys so much, its the reason why, you know, i started saying things are too small to fail, right. Restaurants are too small to fail. And theres a big chain reaction. If 2008 was too big to fail, this is on the opposite end of the spectrum. This is going to affect so many other businesses. Farmers, supply chains, distribution, you know, artis artisans, purveyors of all kind. This is the very fabric of america. If we lose restaurants where 90 of revenue generated goes back to these other businesses in the ecosystem, it has a dramatic impact on how we live and eat in america. Yeah. And you tweeted, too, i was really sorry to hear this. You camouflage, you wear subglasses and a hat sunglasses and a hat as a chinese american. Your concerns about what. What advice do you have for other asian americans, and how afraid are you . You know, its been incredibly upsetting that President Trump could not have described the coronavirus appropriately and accurately, and whether youre chinese american, filipino american, japanese american, korean american, you know, theres a lot of fear out there. Ive talked to a lot of my friends that are asian american. Its unfortunate. Its unfortunate that we cant be ourselves. We shouldnt are to adopt who adapt who we are to be american in this country. We should be whoever we think we are. That is what i think is being american. And its unfortunate. I just have to talk to my wife, when she goes to the store, theres always been looks. And theres no real, you know, crazy things going on. But its a feeling of being uncomfortable. And thats not good enough. Yeah. Well, i its important that youre calling it out. Thank you very much, david chang. Well be right back. Will invisalign aligners really work for my smile. Is there a better alternative to braces . Only invisalign aligners use smarttrack technology.

Since were coming to you from home, its the talk of many cables. Well share a story with eachth and all of you that is the talk of our tables. Gayle, whats up at your house . Lets talk about pets. Last week we told you about the rise in pet adoptions and fostering as americans spend more time at home during the virus outbreak. Shelters around the country say that they are actually running out of adoptable pets. And for the first time ever, this is really great news, Chicago Animal Care and control says it has no dogs currently available for adoption. Now the reason why this resonates with me, guys, is favorite daughter kirby is getting a new puppy this week. Shes very excited about that. And theyre asking for people, organizations around the country, are asking people to foster a dog. Im thinking about it. This is the perfect time. Youre going to be home, number one. Its a great time to do potty training with the dog. Im trying to figure out how i can navigate it with this schedule. A lot of people are finding the joys of bringing animals into their lives. As you know, its unconditional love. Im intrigued. I havent puget sounded the trigger yet havent pulled the trigger yet, but im thinking about it. Thats very cool. Great for those animals. Great for the families who adopted them. Also great for me as i look to stall even further in getting a dog in my house. I grew up with dogs, i love dogs. But unlike you, i dont think theres ever a great time to potty train a puppy. I dont know. When youre home 24 7, though, tony, this seems kind of ideal. Just throwing it out there. All right. All right. Hope you got the rug cleaner. Your turn. While were waiting on Major League Baseball to come back, maybe as soon as next month, we can get a taste of the ballpark from Boston Red Sox oregganit josh im going to lose his name. Take a listen.

He says hes going to keep doing it every single day, anthony, until people are sick of it or baseball season starts again. I hope baseball season comes soon. I miss the crack of the bat. I really do. Yeah. I do, too. And im wondering how his wife must have who walked behind him in the shot. Thats a very loud instrument to have in the house. Makes a lot of noise. Im thinking, what is she thinking. She knew what she was marrying. Yes. Ive got a story about a musician, too. This is a Young Musician in scotland whos managed to find humor in being quarantined because of the coronavirus. Listen to his parody of the beatles song yesterday. Quarantine now my hands are all nice clean did my bit to fight covid19 thats peter macpherson, a fourthyear music student at aberdeen university. He wanted to bring a smile to people in difficult times. I just loved his lyrics. One of them is, yesterday i skyped a pal to check if hes okay, told me hay hed taken up crochet, ill take that as a no, yesterday. Yes. Listen, anthony, if he wanted to make people smile, mission accomplished. I marvel at all these people that have come up with very genius ways to parody the songs. Nicely done, peter. Nicely done. Tony . Nicely done. Boredom is a wonderful push toward creativity, as Many Americans are showing us these days. All right. This evening, jewish people across the country and around the world will celebrate passover. A chance for families to come together for a festive meal and tell the story of jews escape from slavery thousands of years ago. Social distancing is forcing millions of americans to find new ways to connect. Cbs this Morning Saturday cohost Dana Jacobson shows us passover in the midst of a pandemic. This is your great grandmothers reporter erin bina is cooking for passover with her 2yearold son ethan by her side. Youre such a good helper. Reporter this is how the holiday usually looks for erin, ed, and their large family. Now amid the pandemic, shes prepping alone for the first time. We cook together, we sing together, we tell stories together. This year its going to be a little sadder. Reporter their celebration will now be a virtual one. Breaking the tradition this year is really hard, especially with our son who loves my grandparents so much. He really watches my grandfather with great awe when he sings the prayers. Reporter social distancing has created a new reality for passover. Aileens kitchen is bustling with activity as she gets ready for the holiday. Its a tradition in our family, the special songs that we sing. A lot of people. A lot of energy, its a new time for all of us. Reporter the coronavirus has created chaos at markets.

The kids are used to having the same traditions, and were showing them were not panicking, were not worried. Were making the best of the situation, it is going to be a passover that for sure we will never forget. Reporter never forgetting is at the heart of this ancient tradition that has celebrated freedom from oppression for some 3,000 years. We have bitter herbs that make us cry. A lot of people have been crying every day recently trying to get through this. The rabbi leads the temple nerd los angeles. What it means to host a sader reporter and will be hosting virtual saders. I think people need to share their stories. Passover is very symbolic. We have all these symbols on the sader plate in the middle of the table. I ask people, if you could add something to the sader plate there year, something symbolic of what were going through, what would it be. Somebody in the community said how about a lemon. It reminds us you can make lemonade out of lemons which is delicious and kosher for passover. Reporter not even a pandemic can stop the music. The traditional song of thanks is heard at aid issers worldwide. The saders worldwide. The group put a modern spin on it. Weve had a few glasses of wine, weve eaten nicely. Lets keep singing. Yeah. Reporter most jews have always found a way to carry on the tradition. Even during times of war and conflict. While the virus is shaking things up especially for orthodox jews, forbidden from using any Video Conferencing during the holiday, this years celebration of resilience and renewal will go on. This is another way that we are overcoming what we have gone through in order to be able to be together and make it a joyful occasion. Next year well all be together again.

Verzenio is the only cdk4 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr , her2 mbc. Diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. At the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids. Before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. Verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. Lifethreatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. Talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. Serious liver problems can happen. Symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. Blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. Tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. My relentless reason its them. My choice with my doctor its verzenio. Ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment. Whaso lets do the rightver chanthing, today. Ow. Lets stay at home. Lets wash up. Lets always keep our distance please, six feet apart at least. Lets look after ourselves, as well as others. It will all be worth it. We can all do our part. So those on the front line can do their part. And when this is over, we will all, continue, to thrive. Looking at chicago in the fog, waking up in chicago this morning. I now have great appreciation for beauty shots. Science may be able to help us find happiness during this difficult time. Professor Laurie Santos created the most popular class at yale university, it was called it is called, rather, psychology and the good life. In her podcast, the happiness lab, she offers solutions for keeping our spirits up during the pandemic. She joins us from new haven, connecticut, from her home there. Good to see you again, professor Laurie Santos. Listen, you know what i think, i think a lot of people are feeling anxious, were really glad to see you. A lot of people are feeling anxious, theyre feeling stressed, and theyre looking for help, laurie, help. If the new applications the Headspace Meditation app are any indication, a lot of people are trying meditation for the first time. We all know, of course, that that works, when you do it, when you do it correctly. It actually works. So other than meditation, talk about the importance of that. What other tools do you have in your toolkit to help us out during this time . Yeah, i think meditation is a f f fantastic tool. The Research Suggests it can allow you to stop ruminating because youre doing such a great job of focusing on your breath or a mantra. Part of why its helpful, it allows you to take deep breaths over time. The way that works is it allows us to curb our sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight response were all going through. It allows us to get back to rest and digest which is what all of us need right now. I still got to figure out, though, how to quiet your mind. You start meditation, and it goes off in 50 million directions because youre thinking about other things. What else do you have in your toolbox . What does the science say about other things . Well, the biggest thing that the science says is we need to make time for social connection. Social distancing can be a time where we feel a little bit more lonely. It doesnt have to be. Wit technologies like the one were using now, we can reach out across time zones, across neighborhoods, to talk to the folks we really care about. We need to do that in an informal way, not just the official worktype chats that we do on line. All the kind of informal things. Do yoga with a neighbor next door on line. You know, try to have a dinner across different time zones with friends. Ive been doing that with friends in seattle. Its been fantastic. Laurie, its anthony. I wanted to ask, a former student of yours created a website called invisible hands helping delivery groceries to the elderly. How does doing Something Like that, helping other people, help your own state of this time there is deep rooted dislike of the president , sanders expected to make a strong push for his supporters to back biden. We will see. Remember the two of them have maintained a cordial relationship throughout this campaign. They are friendly. They didnt serve that long together in the senate, because sanders had gotten there about two years before biden became Vice President but throughout this campaign they managed to keep it aboveboard, it never got personal between them. They have some significant ideological disagreements, but they understand what the ultimate goal is for democrats, which is to retake the white house, but the fact that this comes now, is a signal that sanders has seen the math, seen the delegate estimates give biden more than 1,100. Sanders just 865, the ultimate nominee needs 991 to win. At this point we can call biden the presumptive nominee. It will take him until early june to officially get to the numbers because most state primaries have been delayed until june 2nd. Okay, ed okeefe, thank you for your annalysis there. Ed has been covering the Sanders Campaign from the beginning and just to recap, Bernie Sanders at one time the frontrunner in the democratic race for the president has now suspended his campaign. Now making joe biden the presumptive nominee to run against President Trump in november. Of course our coverage will continue in our 24hour streaming network, cbsnews.
