>> 26 days. >> reporter: is that acceptable? >> in no way, shape or form is that acceptable. people are dying. >> reporter: we followed up with sonora quest about truslowe's claim of waiting 26 days for those test results. we've yet to hear back. while people are waiting for these test results, if they are asymptomatic, perhaps they continue to go out. if they're essential workers, they continue to go to work. of course, we noerks all the while, further spreading this virus. >> yeah, mola, and that's a problem. thank you very much. much more on cbs news with the interview with president trump that's getting a lot of attention today. the president insisted his coronavirus response is working, and he criticized school officials in parts of california for ordering classrooms not to reopen next month. now, after that conversation, he summoned white house reporters to the rose garden for a 52-minute campaign-style speech. he announced new sanctions against china for its crackdown on hong kong protesters, but also repeatedly blasted his expected 2020 opponent joe biden. when finished, he spent ten minutes in questions and aens with reporters. in our exclusive interview, katherine harris asked about a series of issues, including the pandemic. >> reporter: is covid-19 the greatest threat to your re-election?

>> if it's necessary, i would urge them to wear a mask and i would say follow the guidelines. >> reporter: why has it become such a political issue? >> it is a political issue for a lot of people. it's not a political issue for me. if i'm in contact with people, close to people, i would wear it. >> reporter: the president insisted schools should open on time. the los angeles school district is one of the latest and largest in the country to say they're not going back to school in the fall. >> mistake. >> reporter: what do you tell parents and teachers who feel it's unsafe to go back? >> i would tell parents and teachers that you should find yourself a new person, whoever is in that position because parents and children are dying from that trauma, too, because they're not doing what they need to be doing. mothers can't go to work. they have to stay home and watch that child, and fathers. we have to open our schools. one thing very strongly we've learned. young people are in great shape when it comes to the coronavirus. >> reporter: mr. trump said his political opponents want to keep schools closed to stop his re-election. >> if they can delay school openings until after november 3rd they have an advantage in the polls. i don't think so, because joe biden has been a failure. >> reporter: after recent controversy, president trump defended the right to display the confederate flag. >> with me, it's freedom of speech. very simple. like it, don't like it. it's freedom of speech. >> reporter: would you be comfortable with your supporters displaying the confederate battle flag at political events? >> it depends what your definition is but i'm comfortable with freedom of speech. it's very simple. >> reporter: you understand why it's a painful symbol to many people because it's a painful reminder of slavery. >> i know people who like the confederate flag and they're not thinking about slavery. nascar, you had those flags all over the place. they stopped it. i just think it's freedom of speech, whether it's confederate flags, black lives matter or anything else you want to talk about. it's freedom of speech. >> reporter: let's talk about george floyd. you said george floyd's death was a terrible thing. >> terrible. >> reporter: why are african-americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country? >> and so are white people. so are white people. what a terrible question to ask. so are white people. more white people, by the way. more white people. >> reporter: research suggests that black people are about three times more likely to be killed by police than white people, but the overall number of white people killd is higher, because white people make up a larger percentage of the overall population. the president also made news on china, saying for now, he does not want to continue trade talks. >> look, we made a great trade deal. but as soon as the deal was done, the ink wasn't even dry, and they hit us with the plague, okay? so right now i'm not interested in talking to china about another deal. i'm interested in doing other things with china. >> reporter: how will you hold the chinese government accountable for covid-19? >> you'll see. you'll see. it's not for you. it's for me. >> reporter: but you will hold them accountable? >> you'll see. >> reporter: the president signaled an escalation in tensions with china, he blames them for the coronavirus. and the trump administration has reverse aid week-old rule that would have barred foreign students from continuing their studies online at u.s. colleges. gayle?

>> well, we'll see, anthony. good morning. political newcomer tommy tuberville prevailed over former u.s. attorney general jeff sessions. sessions, of course, was a key supporter of the president's 2016 election, but trump was backing tuberville, former auburn university football coach. in part because he has been at odds with sessions ever since he recused himself from the investigation in russian election interference. remember that? he faces the most vulnerable democratic senator up for re-election in november. vice president joe biden once again slamming the president for his response to the coronavirus. >> quit pushing the false choice between protecting our health and protecting our economy. do your job, mr. president, because if we can't deal with the public health crisis, we can't deal with the economic crisis. >> reporter: biden is also pushing a $2 trillion clean energy and infrastructure plan that he says would help to reboot the economy after the pandemic. he says his plans would help to create millions of jobs in the auto industry. in a nod to liberal democrats pushing for more aggressive climate change proposals, biden, for the first time, is calling for a carbon-free power sector within the next 15 years. polls continue to show biden keeping it close with the president in key swing states like arizona, florida and texas. tony, the biden campaign now so confident about its chances in the lone star state, it's starting to spend money there on tv advertising. >> all right, ed. thank you very much. we want to tuck in some supreme court news. justice ruth bader ginsburg is recovering in the hospital after being treated for a possible infection. she highway medical procedure to clean out a stent that was inserted last august when she was treated for a cancerous tumor on her pancreas. spokesperson says ginsburg is resting comfortable and will stay in the hospital for a few days, gayle?

>> what's happening, everybody? i'm ready for a refund, a refund of vlad. good to see you all. here are stories we think you'll be talking about. 87 protesters were arrested last night in east louisville for gathering on the lawn of kentucky's attorney general. they were demanding that charges be filed against at louisville police officers involved in the shooting death of breonna taylor. authorities say some demonstrators were charge god w a felony after refusing to leave. taylor was kill ed at her apartment in what her families call a botched drug raid. attorneys say nothing illegal was found in the 26-year-old's home. police later learned the suspect they were looking for was arrested shortly before the raid. >> yeah. police say that in terms of that -- what went down there that they tried -- they asked the people to leave the property, but they didn't. it was then that they charged them with criminal trespassing and intimidating a participant in a legal process. as tony referred to, this is an important day that you -- we should be reminded of. tell us about it. >> right. so of course today is tax day. the traditional april 15th deadline was pushed back, of course, due to the pandemic. so here's some numbers for you -- the average tax refund this year is around $2,700, about 91% of federal returns received so far have been processed. if you need more time, you can file an extension. that form needs to get to the irs before midnight. i know last week i was telling you i still hadn't done my taxes. did it yesterday using online software. took less than an hour and a half. all done. >> yay. >> even 24 hours to go. >> yeah. i would point out a couple of things for people. one, if you make less than $69,000 a year, which is most americans, you can file for free. the irs has its own software. you don't have to pay. also, if you don't file and you owe taxes later, you will pay interest, but if you file later and you have a refund, you don't get interest. not going to pay you more. it behooves you to file today if you can. >> all right. what is the duchess of sussex up to next? >> she is sharing a message of inspiration, tony. listen to part of a virtual speech she gave to thousands of young women around the world yesterday urging them to use their voices to battle inequality and racism. >> believing in true equality is not enough. there's more than belief. we have to work for it every day, even when it's hard, even when it makes others feel unseizy. we have to speak up for ourselves and speak out for others who struggle to be heard. that path to get us there will take all of us. it will take girls and women, it will take men and boys. it will take those that are black and those that are white, collectively tackling the inequities and structural problems that we know exist. >> right on. gayle, this was for the girl-up leadership summit. i love how she also said to the women, you are standing up and demanding to be heard. it makes me think like meghan markle herself. >> right on, meghan markle. number one, she looks great. number two, one of the favorite stories i like about her history is when she was a little girl at 11, she wrote procter & gamble because there was a commercial about women washing pots and pans. she said, you know, moms take on this role, women take on this role. she didn't think that was fair. she wrote and said it should be changed to people. so she's been speaking up for a long time about things that she sees as unjust. that's good. she looks great. so you've got a basketball legend, he's pretty great, too, on and off the court. what's he doing? >> he is indeed. so, all right, picture this -- you're driving along the highway, boom. your tire blows out, who should roll up to help you -- shaquille o'neal. it happened to one florida woman. here's the former nba superstar in this dash cam video. you can see him on the left side of your screen. shaq stopped to help after seeing her car pull to the side of i-75 outside of gainesville. o'neal who lives in orlando stayed with her until deputies arrived. he fist bumped them before driving off. and you never know when shaq is going to show up. recall back in january, a woman in new york city fainted in the street, and kazam! shaq appeared to help. although he played this genie in a movie, it's not magic. he's just a good guy. >> he halted traffic in the incident -- can you imagine your traffic officer being shaq? that would be pretty interesting. >> no. >> he's a deputy -- a deputy in orlando, deputy sheriff in orlando. ahead, how airlines are struggling to get through the pandemic and what it means for your travel plans. stay with us. when you walk into an amazon fulfillment center, it's like walking into the chocolate factory and you won a golden ticket. all of these are face masks. this looks like a bottle of vodka. but when we first got these, we were like whoa!

>> we do. the white house tells me this morning the communication shop did not. the word used to describe the op ed was going rogue. this is now a public dispute between an economist, peter in a in a vor row and a scientist, dr. fauci. it sews political division when health experts say science is what the rattled public needs the most. dr. fauci faced the central question of his life and our times. how do you deal with disinformation, misinformation, some of it coming from the administration?

>> it's unprecedented. they know that word is overused but they say not only is the pandemic unprecedented. the sidelining of the cdc at a time when not only could the public use its expertise but policy makers would use it, has never been seen before. that's why they joined together. these are cdc directors who worked for republicans and democrats who said science right now matters the most. >> we're desperate for clear guidance. starting today the trump administration major is directing hospitals to send all coronavirus patient information to a central database for the federal government and that's also bypassing the cdc. what's the lig sasignificance o? >> the potential significance is that it further minimizes the cdc role as a gatherer of data and then as someone who provides public information about guidelines based on that underlying data. now, the hhs, department of health and human services says cdc is overwhelmed. there needs to be a more efficient and rapid process the gather the data. that may be true but hhs answers directly to president trump. cdc is regarded as a public health agency that works and answers to the public. and it is being sidelined in a continuation of a process that health scientists find worrysome. >> the first vaccine tested in the u.s. shows promise and moves to the final . we have much more ahead. grammy winner much more news ahead. sara bareilles known for top hits like her son "brave." ♪ say what you want to say and let the word fall out ♪ honestly, i want to say you've been brave ♪ talking about the new show for which she wrote some original music. always good news. my daughter loves her. you're watching cbs "this morning." ♪ five. ♪ five dollar. ♪ five dollar footlong. ♪ piled high with veggies. they're back. any footlong is a $5 footlong when you buys two in the subway® app. subway. eat fresh.

>> yeah. this is the first u.s. trial. it is a phase one. it is very small, 45 -- by comparison, the oxford vaccine is in 14,000 patients. so very different than the 45 here. but what they showed in the "new england journal of medicine" is very good antibody responses and some t-cell responses. they're mimicking what happens when you have the virus with a little bit stronger antibody responses. it's about as good as we could hope for from a phase-one trial. now we go to the pivotal study. >> before we talk about that, what do we know about the safety, and what do we know about the side effects of this drug? >> you always have to ask about those things. what we know is that it is remarkable well tolerated. about half of the patients had fever, chills, sore arm. what you expect from a vaccine. nobody had a serious adverse event. so well tolerated. there were three doses. the middle dose seemed to have an optimal immune response. when you went to a higher dose, more side effects without more immune response. they're going forward with the middle dose in the phase-three clinical trial. >> so phase three, you talk about that as the pivotal phase. what happens in that trial? >> so in the phase-three trial, we give half the volunteers placebo and half the volunteers vaccine. and then we say go into the world. and you know, do your normal behavior. and we'll see if this protects people from the virus. so what's incumbent there is that it has to go into areas that we predict will have high numbers of cases of the virus. if we inject people in part of the country where the virus goes away, the result isn't going to yield information. the way this phase three is designed with 30,000 patients, the hope is we receive data by thanksgiving. and again, that presupposes that we can predict where they're going to be outbreaks in the country because that's where we'll do most of the vaccination. >> yeah, a lot of people thinking about thanksgiving or rethinking thanksgiving plans. when you were here the other day, we talked about the antibody levels in patients declining after some time after they -- after they recover. how will this affect the vaccine development? >> it's the key question is that everybody is focused on antibody levels. data has come out in two separate studies showing that after two or three months people who got the virus, the vaccine -- the antibody levels went down. and that was worrisome. what's critical here is t cells. t cells are the other part of the immune system that are very potent in fighting the virus and have memory. the moderna vaccine showed that it actually did turn on t cells. how much and how long is the critical question. we don't know because we only have the short-term data from this phase-one study. and so what we're hoping and praying for is it will be long acting and there will be long-term immunity. we know antibodies aren't everything. if they go away in two, three months, we haven't seen secondary infections, that is somebody getting the virus twice in this country. so clearly t cells are a big part. >> so david, what still could go wrong here? we're so optimistic once a vaccine -- what's whstill couldo wrong? >> what keeps me up at night? what keeps me up at night is three separate things. >> okay. >> one is we don't yet have a test for immunity. when we give a vaccine, i want to know how long sgogayle is protected when she's going to need a booster. if you have i don't have a test for immunity i'm not sure when to give it. second is when we have good immune responses in phase one, are they enough to block the virus from causing its problem some the fda set a bar that unless you reduce symptoms by 50%, they're not going to approve the vaccine. so we have a bar which i think is fantastic that they set that. to get there. the third and i think really critical is that we don't politicize this vaccine. if the data on some of the vaccines -- and it will be out on the oxford vaccine early -- come out end of september, beginning of october, i'm afraid we'll be politicized. we'll pigwill be afraid because they think it's politics, not science. science has to win here. >> yeah. yes, who would have thought masks would become a political hot potato. say you get covid -- forget the vaccine. say you get covid and you've recovered. can you get reinfected again? >> at some point the answer will be yes. in the united states now we don't have a documented case of somebody reinfected with covid-19. at some point, immunity will run out, and we will see significant numbers of people with secondary infections. sometimes they can be more serious than the first which is what has us worried. so we're waiting, we're on guard and looking, but we have yet to see that wave if you will in the united states. >> all right. david agus, thank you very much. always good to see you. you're watching "cbs this morning." we'll be right back. an unlikely hero step friday to save a couple's wedding day. doctors matt and naomi kalliath were dressed and ready to say "i do" on cape cod saturday when their reverend abruptly canceled. the bride's mother frantically searched the beach for another officiant and ran into carlo demaria, a mayor on vacation at the time. she called charlie baker of massachusetts, and baker granted him special permission to marry the couple on the spot. the newlyweds got what they were looking for and said it was a memory of a lifetime. >> saying our vows, looking across each other with the water there, our family there, our dog at our feet. >> yeah. we had personal vows written down. they were there with us. we were both crying, everything. >> the couple met with demaria, the mayor who married them, yesterday to say thank you. and they gave him a bottle of wine. you can see it. hope he enjoys it. i love the governor getting the phone call. usually you have hard decisions as governor or no easy one at your desk. this one pretty easy. >> i love that the governor reacted -- carlo w good wednesday morning, thank you for joining us. it is 8:25. i'm anne makovec. and santa clara county businesses that just got the chance to reopen on monday were forced to close again at midnight. the county is on the state's monitoring list amid a spike of coronavirus cases. no word yet on when hair and nail salons will be able to reopen. in continue cost county leaders pushing for a ticketing ordinance to enforce the new health order. focuses on business, churches and other groups that are seen breaking that order. and the oakland zoo might be able to reopen in a couple of weeks. the alameda county board of supervisors voted yesterday to support a covid-19 variance. health officials will submit that to the state. and some good news to report as we take a look at the travel times for the morning drive. everything getting back in the green zone which means you are moving at the limit for the most part along 580 through the altamont pass and a much better ride on the eastshore freeway following an accident we had this morning in berkeley. commute westbound along 580. eastshore freeway, 17 minutes from highway 4 as you head towards the maze. no delays at the bay bridge toll plaza. things are clear here and it looks like pretty good ride heading into san francisco. headed though to the san mateo bridge. first reports of a crash south 880 right at 92. mary?

>> number one, she's done a great job being editor-in-chief. has made some changes. think about this, anthony -- "vanity fair" has been around since 1913, and this is the first time that they've had a black photographer shoot a cover? i think that says a lot. i'm glad finally that's happened. it is spectacular -- the pictures on the cover, you should see what viola looks like inside and what she has to say. it's a great article. very well done, "vanity fair," and viola davis who looks spectacular. >> it matter who's creating the content. i'm talking about major league baseball which has more trouble on the way potentially. you can't play baseball without an umpire. and the "associated press" reports that about ten major league umpire have opted out of working this season because of coronavirus concerns. it's already a shortened season. there are 76 full-time big-league umpires overall. more than 20 are over the age of 55. in that more at-risk group. and so apparently about ten of them have said they're not going to play. you know, the season will go on. they're going to call up ump was aaa. you can understand i haven't seen the cdc charts, but the kind of baseball altercation where the head coach comes out and is like face -- flows to no-- nose to node with the umpire, can't be good for the umpire. maybe you could get a call. >> i'm not qualified. one of my favorite -- >> they'll call anthony. >> one of my favorite things in the new rules is there's no spitting. always a major part of major league baseball. >> yeah. >> you totally understand them. some of these umps may have pre-existing conditions of their own. >> get it, for sure. gayle? >> totally get it. totally get it. i won't miss the spitting in baseball. won't miss that one bit. okay. mine comes from britain. a british parliaentary committee had a meeting on zoom, as we're all meeting on the zoom-zoom these days. they had a very surprise guest. >> usually kids do it and we're embracing this -- i apologize for my cat's tail. why -- why are you not doing this -- [ laughter ] >> that is rojo the cat wandering into the zoom meeting and making others laugh. it belongs to lawmaker john nicholson. clearlily rojo's done that before. after the meeting, he posted a photo. very cute cat. posted a photo of rojo's face on social media because a lot of people were wondering what does he look like. clearly the cat is used to walking wherever he wants to go. i love how he handled it -- sort of batted down the tail and kept going. >> i think rojo has probably done that before. at first it seemed as though the lawmaker was going to wait it out and the tail go by. clearly he was like, i'm going to have to intervene, rojo, you've got to go. >> rojo, you got to go. >> all right. moving on to "the new normal." we look at how the pandemic is dramatically changing our everyday lives. we're focusing on the airline industry's struggle to bounce back. look at this -- july 13th last year, 2.6 million travelers went through tsa checkpoints. on the same day this year, that total had plunged to less than 700,000. the airlines, in short, are reeling. delta suffered its worst losses in more than a decade. and its ceo does not expect business travel to return to 2019 levels. southwest's ceo says they will have to cut staff if the number of passengers does not triple -- that seems unlikely. cbs news senior travel adviser peter greenberg joins us. good morning. so the airlines have gotten billions in relief funding. but they are facing serious trouble. i think it calls into question what air travel will look like and field like even after we're back to something like a normal. what's the future hold for them? >> well, the numbers are not lying here. in fact, they're pretty bad. delta's loss in the last quarter was $5.7 billion. let me break that out. that's losing $27 million a day. now that's better than their loss back in march which was $100 million a day. and to break that out even further, $30 million was for refunds being issued to passengers for canceled flights. so you've got delta basically trying to do voluntary furloughs to cut the number of their staff. 17,000 members of their organization signed up for it. you mentioned southwest airlines. today is the deadline for their employees to opt in or out of a voluntary furlough period. and american airlines has said they think they have 8,000 flight attendants too many. the real key here, tony, is looking at october 1st. that's the day that the provisions of the federal bailout of the airlines which require them to fly all of their staff on payroll until that day, expire. that's when you're going to see the airlines get very small. >> yeah. so part of the reason why there aren't a lot of passengers on airlines is because there's not a lot going on when you travel. you know, museums are closed, concerts are not happening. the other reason is even if you have somewhere to go, you may not feel comfortable in the cabin of an airplane. it feels, anyway, like a very tight space where the virus could spread easily. is that true in reality? >> there's some studies that say that's true. however, the actual, you know, dimensions of an airline cabin and social distance regular mutically exclusive. if you look at nobody in the middle seat, the separation is not 60s feet. ton mention the guy -- not six feet. not to mention the guy behind you who just sneezed. >> on the other hand they have hospital-grade affiliaters in many particularly of the newer models which circulate the air quickly. that is one benefit we can point that. when could this return to some sort of normal? what is your projection? and as it returns, is there a silver lining for anybody, particularly people who have a mountain of miles or benefits or credit card kind of rewards that now they have no way to spend? >> well, business travel is basically flat lined and will stay in coma until march or april with the lack of a vaccine or therapeutics. there is a silver lining. if you're sitting on a lot of frequent flyer miles, here's the ir irony -- six months ago the planes were full and they didn't want to use the frequent flyer award per imagpassenger, now th seasonal travel time, redeem the miles now. first of all, the redemption levels have been lowered in many cases. the airlines are going to give you those seats. >> that's good news there. you know, before we go, i do want to ask why are there so many different approaches here to how the airlines treat passengers? some are selling the middle seat, some are leaving it open to encourage distancing. it seems like just as we have many states with different policies, we have many airlines with different policies. >> the reason for that is the federal government's not made it a mandate. there's no federal air regulation that's been put into place by the faa. and last but not least, you know, delta airlines is now reporting that the number-one reason why people are booking their airlines is because they've agreed to block the middle seat through the end of september. >> it comes back to federal leadership. thank you so much. ahead, grammy winner sara bareilles will join us to talk about her new show "little voice." that's inspired in part by her early career. it includes unreleased music she well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours. we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property. for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. access your equity. stay in your home. have peace of mind. an extra 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies? >>wow...ok! that's 15% on top of what geico could already save you. so what are you waiting for? idina menzel to sing your own theme song? ♪ tara, tara, look at her go with a fresh cup of joe. ♪ gettin' down to work early! ♪ following her dreams into taxidermy! oh, it's...tax attorney. ♪ i read that wrong, oh yeeaaaah! geico. save an extra 15 percent when you switch by october 7th. ♪ give it up for tara! ♪ not gonna write you a love song cuz you ask for it ♪ that's grammy award winner sara bareilles with her chart-topping hit "love song." she burst on int the scene in 2007 with "little voice" which went platinum. she now has five albums under her belt. in 2006 with the musical "waittries," she found a home on broadway. she wrote the music and lyrics for the show and went on to star as its lead on broadway and in london. now she's taking on the role of executive producer for the new apple tv-plus show "little voice." it's partly inspired by her early career in the music industry. >> it's got a lot of feeling, and it might be good to play against that. >> huh. >> look, i really like this song. >> no, i appreciate it, really. i just -- i always heard it a certain way in my head. i think let's just do it that way. woo cool? >> yeah, it's cool. cool. >> cool. ♪ i made a list of what i love to make a document that shows what i think i'm made of ♪ >> and sara bareilles joins us now. sara, good morning. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> that was bess who -- the lead character in the show, who is played by brittany o'grady, who's terrific. a young singer dealing with her own self-doubt as she goes through this. i'm interested because the title of the show comes from a song that you wrote early on that was supposed to be on your first album, but basically folks told you, no, it's not good enough. and you put it away. what led you to go back to it? >> you know, it's so funny. i love the poetic justice of this part of the story. but we were -- i was in conversation with my partner, jesse nelson, who also created "waitress" with me. and we were talking about a theme song for the show. and wanting to kind of encapsulate, you know, the thesis statement. i was trying to write something and just really couldn't quite crack the code and remembered that this song has been laying dormant for 15 years. and i shared it with her, and she's like, this is, you know, perfect. so yeah, it feels like the song was waiting all these years to find a home, i guess. >> did you -- it's interesting when you go back and look at something like that, do you go, well, this was a pretty good song? >> yeah. it becomes really clear how fixated i was on everyone else's opinions very early on. i still struggle with that. but you know, as a young artist, you're really looking for validation outside yourself to keep getting permission to sort of show up as you are. so that's the journey we see bess go on. that's the journey i've gone on and so many of my friends and colleagues. >> right. you mentioned jessie nelson, wrote "waitress" with. you're working together on this show, as well. you'd never written a musical before. you've never written for a tv show before. is it harder? is it the same? >> no. they are so hard, and they're very different. but this was -- was so deeply challenging in ways that i was not prepared for. and i think it has to do with just the pace of television. there's such an incredible volume of material to create and to produce that, you know, the technical sides, the logistics of getting a production shoot up and running. thank god we had wonderful people working with us, but i -- i really wasn't, you know, aware of the magnitude of trying to get something like this off the ground. >> you've talked about dealing with anxiety before. how are you dealing with it through this pandemic? >> not well. i am -- you know, every day is different. i haven't had sort of anxiety spikes like this since i was in my early 20s. and so it's really -- it's a strange thing to return to territory like that. but i cope with a lot of therapy and meditation, and i think really just coming back to the fact that we are in times that we could not have prepared for. so i'm trying to just be a good student right now and kind of learn how to cope day to day. i'm getting better than i was. but it's not a straight line for sure. >> and you lost someone you work closely with on "waitress," actually, nick cordero, the actor who died of coronavirus recently. can you tell us what your best memories of him are? >> oh -- all of them. i think, you know, when we talk about nick amongst friends in our community, it's no one has anything negative to say about him. he was deeply kind. really, really talented, loving, funny, buoyant personality, and -- just a real kind man. so my heart breaks for his wife and son, amanda and elvis. but we will honor his memory. so grateful i got to know him and you see that he's galvanized -- his story has galvanized this beautiful outpouring of love and support and hope in community. that's at least a good thing. >> sarah, you were playing the lead in "waitress" in london on the west end when coronavirus shut everything down. are you worried about when theater will finally get back to normal again? >> oh, man. i'm desperate for, you know, some sense of normalcy and not part of you know my life. what i know is that the appetite for coming back together -- we've learned what a flimsy surrogate the screens are for being in a room with each other. i miss people so much. and i think the appetite for theater will be through the roof. and i think, you know, hopefully we'll just be able to do the work we need to do while we have this time and prepare for how to make it safe and inclusive. >> all right. sara bareilles, flimsy surrogate, the screens -- that's a wonderful expression. it's so true. thank you so much for being with us this morning. you can watch the first three episode of "little voice" on apple tv-plus. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, supreme court scholar ilya shapiro discusses the court's big decisions in recent weeks and the influence of chief justice john roberts. we'll be right back. look, this isn't my first rodeo... and let me tell you something, i wouldn't be here if i thought reverse mortgages took advantage of any american senior, or worse, that it was some way to take your home. it's just a loan designed for older homeowners, and, it's helped over a million americans. a reverse mortgage loan isn't some kind of trick to take your home. it's a loan, like any other. big difference is how you pay it back. find out how reverse mortgages really work with aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage guide. eliminate monthly mortgage payments, pay bills, medical costs, and more. call now and get your free info kit. other mortgages are paid each month, but with a reverse mortgage, you can pay whatever you can, when it works for you, or, you can wait, and pay it off in one lump sum when you leave your home. discover the option that's best for you. call today and find out more in aag's free, no-obligation reverse mortgage loan guide. access tax-free cash and stay in the home you love. you've probably been investing in your home for years... making monthly mortgage payments... doing the right thing... and it's become your family's heart and soul... well, that investment can give you tax-free cash just when you need it. learn how homeowners are strategically using a reverse mortgage loan to cover expenses, pay for healthcare, preserve your portfolio, and so much more. look, reverse mortgages aren't for everyone but i think i've been 'round long enough to know what's what. i'm proud to be a part of aag, i trust 'em, i think you can too. trust aag for the best reverse mortgage solutions. so you can... retire better. that will do it for us. anthony and tony, i liked what sara bareilles said, too, about the screen is a flimsy surrogate for human connection. when i first landed in california, i got to see favorite son, favorite daughter. but i couldn't touch them. that's very, very, very difficult. just working through a screen is tough. it's tough. >> sure is. and here we are doing it right now, gayle. >> looking forward to the day we're all together. >> yeah. >> maybe september. that will do it for us. we'll see you tomorrow. for the sweaty faces, and the hidden smiles. the foggy glasses, and the muffled laughs. a simple piece of fabric makes a big statement: i care. wear a mask. let's all do our part to slow the spread. good morning, it is five minutes before 9:00. i'm anne makovec. some local coronavirus headlines for you this morning. alameda county is expected to be added to the state's watch list today. that would force indoor worship services and malls to close for at least three weeks. the county has the highest number of cases in the bay area. across the state hospitalizations are continues to soar. the number of covid-19 patients is at all-time high of 6700. that is an increase of 12.6% in just the last week. and san ramon valley unified voted to adopt a hybrid learning plan that mixes at home and in-class learning. limiting students' time on campus for the first month. this morning state officials will update fall school reopenings. we've got some better news to report from the traffic center. if you are just about to head out the door, you should be good to go for the most part. we're not seeing a lot of brake lights and live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. traffic eased up nicely so it's a pretty easy ride off the eastshore freeway. as you head into san francisco across the upper deck of the bay bridge. headed towards free font there. traffic is pretty light. san mateo bridge, clear as well and easy 14 minutes between 880 and 101 and right now the golden gate bridge, checking in problem free and we are seeing more cars on the roadway. expect extra volume but you are at the limit. mary?
