Tremendous death and economic devastation because those tasked with protecting us by being truthful and transparent failed to do so. Reporter President Trump has announced he is halting funding to the World Health Organization while a review is conducted. He accused the w. H. O. Of severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the virus. So much dea bed he idacowledged that individual statese the powi powish power to reopen or not. We say this unequivocally. There is no question that testing anywhere in our country is not nearly where it needs to be. Reporter former president barack obama has endorsed his v. P. , joe biden, for president. Joe has the character and the experience to guide us through one of our darkest times and heal us in a long recovery. Reporter senator sanders and cardi b. Both threw their support behind joe biden.

Were staying in, and we hope that you are, too. We really hope you are, too, if you can do that. If youre one of those essential workers keeping things going, we thank you so much for that, too. This is where we begin with the debate over how and when to begin reopening this country. President trump says plans are close to being finalized, and the Washington Post has obtained one possible roadmap from the cdc and fema. The president has backed off claims to have total authority over such efforts. He now says it will be up to the states governors. The president is also escalating efforts to cast blame for the pandemic. He says hes withholding u. S. Funding to the world health ve the u. Enough warning. Didnt paula reid is at the white house. We want to start with the possible roadmap for reopening the country. Reporter the Washington Post has obtained a draft of this roadmap, and its divided into three phases. The first phase focuses preparing the country, explaining how people should continue their met mitigation efforts and how the government plans to roll efforts back. The second phase which will go until about may 15th, emphasizes ramping up manufacturing of testing kits and also hiring more Health Care Support workers tohelp with this massive response. But the country doesnt really start to reopen until phase three which cannot, according to this plan, begin before may 1st. But this draft of a strategy comes as the president continues to send mixed messages about who exactly gets to decide when the u. S. Is back open for business. I will then be authorizing each individual governor of each g. Dividual state to implement a reporter at hi a dramatic aboutface in his ongoing feud with state governors, conceding they can decide when to open their local economies. The governors are going to do a good job, and if they dont do a good job, were going to come down on them very hard. Reporter President Trump promises to issue revised social distancing guidelines soon and said hes singling out over 20 states to reopen first. It its going to be very, very close. Maybe even before the date of may 1st. Reporter but in an interview with the associated press, dr. Anthony fauci, who wasnt at the briefing yesterday, said that target is a bit overly optimistic as the u. S. Does not yet have the critical testing and tracing procedures needed to begin reopening the nations economy. We have to have something in place that is efficient and that we can rely on. Were not there yet. Reporter the president seemed to dismiss his point. I dont know i dont know whsaid. Reporter my question reporter the president announced he will suspend funding for the World Health Organization. The International Body which is coordinating the global fight against this pandemic through actions like shipping lifesaving medical supplies to 95 countries. The reality is that the w. H. O. Failed to adequately obtain, vet, and share information in a timely and transparent fashion. Reporter the president claims the outbreak could have been contained in china if the organization had objectively addressed the situation instead of taking chinas reporting at face value. But even after the group declared a Health Emergency on january 30th, more than a week later the president was saying this about china i think chinas very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control. Reporter and with a massive trade deal hanging in the balance, the president still appears unwilling to directly confront china. I dont talk about chinas transparency. Reporter President Trump is not the only one who has criticized the w. H. O. s response to coronavirus. But the only american scientists who were allowed into china to study this virus went as part of a w. H. O. Team. And earlier this week, the director of the cdc described the organization as a, quote, important Public Health partner. Last year the u. S. Contributed about 450 million to the w. H. O. They overall have about a 6 billion budget. Anthony . Paula, thank you. The director of the cdc, dr. Robert redfield, will be joining us at 7 30. Well discuss the trump administrations decision to withhold funding from the World Health Organization and the federal governments strategy to reopen america. Tny . Looking forward to that. The question of reopening is also on the minds of states. California was the first state to issue a stayathome order over the coronavirus. Now it is also considering a conditional comeback. Governor gavin newsom announced a sixpoint plan with factor to consider including protecting highrisk populations. The state reported its single highest death toll yesterday, however. And so did the United States of america. More than 26,000 have now died from the virus. The toll went up by 2,300 people more than 2,300 people just yesterday. David begnaud is on new yorks upper west side. Good morning. Part of the increase in the death toll is due to a change in the way we count people. The city is changing its categorization of victims . How so . Reporter well, theyre factoring deaths that happened over the last several weeks. So heres whats happening mo deathto its and heres why 9 test because they werent readily available. They are people who went into the hospital, had covid symptoms, died while being treated, and the doctor listed covid19 on their death certificate. Now their deaths are being factored into the citys death toll. Elsewhere around new york state, heres whats happening the governor of new york says the number of people dying in the state every day over the last week has stabilized. Between about 670 and nearly 800. Its basically flat at a devastating level of pain and grief. Arthe Nations Health care as of last week, nearly 9,300 nationwide have been infected according to a study from the cdc. At least 27 have died. Those living at Nursing Homes are also being hit hard. Canterbury rehabilitation and Health Care Center in richmond, virginia, has now lost 45 residents. That surpasses the number of covid19 deaths at the Life Care Center in washington state. Where the crisis in this country started sioux falls, south dakota, is the site of one of the largest known clusters of coronavirus cases in the country. Nearly 440 employees at the nowclosed Smithfield Foods pork Processing Plant have tested positive, as well as more than 100 people theyve been in contact with. Despite the states nearly 1,000 cases, the governor is not ordering those living in the hardesthit counties to stay at home. I dont believe its appropriate considering the data and the facts and the science that we have. The growth that weve seen in our covid cases really in the last week has been a bit staggering. Reporter sioux falls mayor disagrees with the governor saying the science he believes does demand early action. What are the numbers in terms of data that you have thats driving your stayathome request . Ngndeve bn doubling ery four days for the last 18 daysi would rath be chastised f you act, mayor . Reporter meanwhile, we are hearing more about what recovering from the virus looks like and feels like. 26yearold yoga teacher Fiona Lowenstein wants you to know the difficulties shes still dealing with. Give us the down low. Its been exactly a month since i first had symptoms. In the past two to three weeks, its been a lot of intense fatigue. Just a real difficulty focusing. Slight loss of memory. And then theres also these intense headaches that come almost every night. Reporter fiona also said she had pretty severe gastrointestinal issues where for a week or more she could only hold down a cracker. Things have gotten better. One more thing. Back to california, the governor is considering in his reopening plan that hes looking at the p wi have to sca eyto a rtaurant around the state. We want to do whatever it takes to be safe. Thank you so much, david. While americans hope the country will be reopened, leaders are calling for widespread antibody tests to fight the coronavirus. The blood test may be able to find out if someone who had coronavirus is now immune to it. This could help determine who can safely resume a normal life. Questions still remain over whether this test can accurately determine immunity and how long that immunity lasts. Our senior medical correspondent, dr. Tara narula, shows us how this test works. If we were able to quickly test people with antibodies and show that the antibody keeps the virus away, we can start getting people back to work. Reporter dr. Matthew sims is director of Infectious Health arch ldingtudy t through a few drops of blood, the tests can determine if someone has built up antibodies to fight off the virus which could be a sign of immunity to prevent reinfection. But it remains unclear how long that immunity will last. Dr. Mike ryan is the executive director of the World Health Organizations emergency programs. One would expect that a person who is generates a fullblown immune response with detectible antibodies should have protection for a period of time. We just dont know what that period of time is. Reporter Beaumont Hospital nurse zena kassab is testing tested though she doesnt have symptoms. She says weed spread testing is important to understand this pandemic. I have young children, people in my life over 65 with comorbidities, as well. I want to know if ive been exposed what i can do to continue to protect my family and to continue to serve our community. Reporter testing like this is being done across the country, but with little federal oversight, accuracy is a concern. The fda has only officially approved one test. How accurate is the test that you have now . You know, weve believe its in the high 90s. You know, no test is perfect. Youre always going to have some false negatives, youre always going to have some false positives. Do you think that antibody tests can give a false sense of security . Anything can give you a false sense of security. Ec ecautis even if yohave ara, e raing thei do you have a sense of when this test will be widely available to everybody . Reporter unfortunately, gayle, we dont know when it will be widely available. It really comes down to two things. One is how rapidly and efficiently we can scale up production of the tests. More important is how accurate are these tests . And we need to validate that. What we dont want is to have tests telling people theyre negative when theyre positive and positive when theyre negative. That would be a big problem. The other factors that we need to figure out and time will tell us this is how protected are you with the antibodies. Just because you have a positive test, does that offer a strong level of protection, and how long will you be immune for . Ultimately, this is a good thing. The antibody tests are going to tell us how widespread the pandemic is. Theyll help us reopen our economy. They will really provide that bridge until we get a vaccine. Yeah. Lets hope they can figure it out sooner rather than later. Thank you very much, tara. Experts say that more diagnostic tests to see if people h coronavirus are also key to reopening america. Tomorrow a top medical advocate will explain what more the government can do. First on cbs this morning, well hear from one of the nations largest private labs about the challenges that it is facing. Anthony . Thanks. Former president barack obama blasted the trump administrations response to the pandemic in his endorsement of joe bidens president ial campaign. In a 12minute prepared video, mr.

Ed, ats have waia longtimeo hea president. After staying mostly out of Campaign Politics for the past three years, its clear he had a lot to get off his chest. He didnt name President Trump directly, the former president accused him and Congressional Republicans of denying the science of pandemics. He also accused them of trying to kick millions off their health care during a Public Health crisis. Because one thing everybody has learned by now is that the republicans occupying the white house and running the u. S. Ed in uron not interested in this election, and it wont be easy. The other side has a massive war chest. The other side has a Propaganda Network with little regard for the truth. Mr. Obama praised bidens platform as the most progressive of any Major Party Nominee and said in his past work on dealing with the epidemics like h1n1 and ebola and the 2008 economic crisis are reasons why hes ready to be president. Mr. Obama praised senator Bernie Sanders and his outreach to young voters. He sent fundraising texts for biden and to, so will we. As soon as we can.
