steals everyone's thunder but not seeing the balloons. >> i want to see underdog. is he still in it? >> sure. >> i hope. welcome back to "cbs this morning." here are three things you should know this morning. president trump is wishing members of the military a happy thanksgiving today in a teleconference from his florida resort. mr. trump tweeted that he will visit coast guard members today. the president faced backlash for not visiting arlington national cemetery or veteran's day. he later acknowledged he should have gone there. mr. trump says he plans to visit troops deployed in a war zone, a long-standing presidential tradition he has not fulfilled yet. the white house hasn't said when or where. just before the biggest shopping day of the season, amazon revealed that a technical error exposed customers names and e-mail addresses. they say its website was not hacked and the problem was fixed. it did not reveal how many people were affected.

they're expected to snag nearly half of all online sales in 2018. that amounts to more than $258 billion in ecommerce. more than a million % americans are expected to run in a turkey trot this thanksgiving. early 20th century pictures show the tradition that began in buffalo, new york. that was in 1896. there's about a thousand events across the country. thanksgiving is the most popular day to run a race all year. that makes sense if you plan to hit the pavement for a 5k before your feast, you'll burn about 300 calories. that's the equivalent of one slice of pumpkin pie i'm sorry to have to report that. >> not worth it. >> i believe our friend john dickerson was contemplating it this morning. >> i hope you're doing it right now, john. the university of maryland is trying to calm fears that recent mold problems on campus may be linked to a virus that caused a student's death. 18-year-old freshman olivia died sunday. she had adenovirus which

typically causes respiratory illnesses. the university says five more students have illnesses tied to the virus but insist there's no connection to mold. we see why her father tells us why he believes the school could have done more. jericka, did goode morning. >> a sad story. olivia already suffered from crohn's disease and a weakened immune system before contracting adenovirus. her father says several weeks into the fall semester, she complained of respiratory issues and visited the medical center. he believes mold in her dorm room could have made her even more sick. >> you can't sleep at night because the pillow is right next to mold and you're up all night coughing. >> university of maryland freshman jessica thompson says she discovered mold on her shoes and clothes in her dorm room back in august. she believes the fungus eventually made her sick.

>> we got to go home on the weekends and we'd be totally fine at home and we would come back and would be sniffling and coughing and then have headaches. >> thompson says she repeatedly alerted the issue to university officials who eventually moved her and 500 others to temporary housing while the school worked to clean the dorms. >> they had put in a dehumidifier and the heat had turned on the mold seemed to go away, but it was a good 2.5 months. >> the freshman died on sunday after contracting adenovirus. her father says her room also had mold. >> it didn't help the illness, i think that's a really fair statement. we don't know that there's causation yet, but it didn't help things. >> the university of maryland says it learned that the first case of adenovirus on november 1st. this past tuesday, the school announced there were a total of six cases, including olivia's. >> i want the other kids to make sure they don't get sick. apparently there were two kids sick when we came forward, right, that was the 13th. i would have liked to have had that information.

and now there's three more kids sick. >> while we want to acknowledge that there are cases on campus, we don't necessarily want to stir up unnecessary angst. >> dr. david mcbride is head of the campus health center. >> we've stepped up our cleaning efforts. we're on high alert here and we're working to be very diligent in following up on cases when students are sick to make sure that they don't worsen. >> the university of maryland says state and local health officials are investigating the outbreak on campus. meanwhile, the cdc says mold can cause respiratory related symptoms including wheezing and a stuffy nose. adenovirus began spreading at a new jersey health center last month. 11 children died in that outbreak. and as we were talking while the story was airing, this really focuses on children or people with a compromised immune system. so you know it's not like if you get it you're going to die, but it stinks when you consider the people impacted by this. >> nonetheless heartbreaking for their family. >> absolutely.

thanks. facebook's chief operating officer sheryl sandberg now says she did get information about the company's work with the pr firm definers after telling us she didn't. "the new york times" reports that the social media giant hired the firm to do opposition research into facebook's critics. she said online yesterday when i read the story in the "new york times" last week i didn't remember a firm called definers. she asked her team to double-check if anything had crossed her desk. it found in her words, some of their work was incorporated into materials presented to me and i received a small number of e-mails where definers was referenced. she told us last week, quote, i did not know about or hire definers or any firm. the articles saying that i was spending time hiding, deflect organize hiring pr firms do other things, that's not -- that's just all not true. i wasn't involved in any of that. >> sandberg also told us facebook's communications team was responsible for hiring

definers. it's outgoing to head of communications elliot took responsibility in a note to staff that was reviewed yesterday. he saidthe pr's work expanded in ways he regretted and added i'm sorry i let you all down. sandberg did say yesterday i oversee our coms teem and take full responsibility for their work and the pr firms who work with us. facebook's ceo mark zuckerberg says he doesn't plan to fire sandberg and is proud of the work they have done. >> we'll see if this puts an end to the story. some people are questioning the timing releasing this information day before a holiday. this morning we're get ailing better idea of where the tainted lettuce tied to the dangerous e. coli outbreak may have come from. ahead, the state that health officials think may be the source. and if you're on the go, subscribe to our cbs podcast available on apple's podcast app or wherever you like to download your podcasts and hear what's happening in your world in less than 20 minutes. you're watching "cbs this morning."

♪ the fda tells "cbs this morning" it is looking at california as a potential source of tainted romaine lettuce. the agency is warning people to throw out all romaine because of fears it may carry a potentially deadly strain of e. coli. americans eat about 30 millions servings of romaine lettuce every day. anna werner shows us why tracking down the source of the contaminated produce is so hard. >> throwing it away. >> reporter: forget about serving this tossed salad on the thanksgiving table. all these leafy greens at alameda natural grocery in california are going straight to the garbage. >> cases of romaine, packages of romaine, probably over 200 pounds of lettuce will be throw away today. >> health officials say romaine lettuce should be removed from all supermarket shelves and restaurant menus until they can determine the source of a new e. coli outbreak.

a potentially deadly strain of the bacteria has sickened 32 people in 11 states since october. nearly a third of the cases, nine, are in los angeles county. the ceo of the california leafy greens marketing agreement says most of the romaine on the market when the outbreak began was grown in his state. >> given the harvest cycle at the time, i think there's a good possibility that it came from california, yes. >> reporter: but he also says finding the exact farm will be difficult because it takes about two to three weeks for investigators to confirm an e. coli outbreak is under way. >> so by the time they're doing trace back, there is no packaging left, there's no product left. >> reporter: an important clue for investigators is the bacteria's dna. it's very similar to the e. coli strain that caused a still unsolved outbreak in 2017. >> if you look at the map of illness onsets from last year, it is very similar to this -pbecause these twowererelated,

gratitude can lead to positive health and psychological outcomes and it can strengthen our social bonds. in terms of health they have found that practicing cultivating gratitude can lower blood pressure, make us sleep better, can lower depressive symptoms and anxiety and strengthen our relationship. >> what are some tips? >> yeah, so i would say the first tip for adult and for kids is to learn how to think gratefully. so we sort of push our kids to write thank you notes and we say thank you to the person who holds the door. but to think about the action behind that and to note it. >> what about gratitude seems to be one of the things that keeps benefiting you in every area of one's life. does it help with love connection? >> it does. it helps with couples. it creates this cycle of generosity. so researchers believe we have an evolutionary reason that we feel gratitude. and it could be that it helps us
