including two at a single nursing home in kirkland, washington, outside seattle. that's where jonathan vigliotti is. we hear officials fear it could get worse there. >> reporter: that's right, anthony. the possible outbreak of this virus is not happening in a major city. instead in this leafy suburb. two people inside this nursing facility confirmed to have the coronavirus. we watched yesterday as another person was rushed to the hospital for testing. more than 50 people, we are told, connected to the facility, are now undergoing testing for the coronavirus. family members, volunteers are told to stay away for fear more people could get sick. paramedics treating patients at the life care center nursing home in kirkland, washington, were seen taking extraordinary precautions sunday, wearing protective gear as they removed another patient from the facility. >> i'm scared. >> reporter: this woman, who asked not to be identified, says her mom and aunt work at the nursing home.

surety now that wife -- we've gotten with this problem. >> reporter: swarming stores to stock up on basics like bottled water, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. those most directly affected wonder if that's enough. >> we can take all the extra precautions we're talking about, wash your hands, but you just don't know who you're next to. >> reporter: more than two dozen first responders who are called to this nursing home are now undergoing monitoring for possible symptoms in what has become the new normal for this community. several schools are closed today for deep cleaning. cdc has a team to trace back the origin of this virus. it's important to point out that most people with this virus are experiencing mild symptoms and are recovering. >> jonathan, thank you very much. many tourist destinations are eerily quiet. waterways of venice are empty and the louvre in paris is closed today.

more than 89,000 cases have been confirmed in 66 different countries with more than 3,000 deaths reported. kris van cleave is at washington airport. good morning. how is the virus effecting travel? >> reporter: good morning. the airlines are concerned, got another sign how concerned they were over t weekend from united's ceo, that it will impact their bottom line but also could disrupt their ability to operate flights around the world. in this yeemt to -- email to employees, oscar munoz said in addition to scaling back flights and suspending flights to china, it could include europe and domestic service. delta and american airlines announced they'll temporarily suspend flights to and from milan, italy. the state department raised a

travel advisory for two regions in northern italy to level four, urging americans not to travel there. the cdc is telling people to avoid nonessential travel to china, italy, south korea and, of course, iran. alaska, american and jetblue are waiving changing fees for flyers out of concern. the virusing -- the virus is having impact on travel. searches for round-trip travel to italy dropped 13% to the lowest point of the year. united has already said it has seen demand for travel to asia drop 75%. gayle? >> kris, thank you. we mentioned that new york city has its first case of the coronavirus. it is a woman in her 30s who recently returned from iran and who is now in isolation. new york's governor andrew cuomo joins us with more on this story. governor, good morning to you. >> good morning to you. >> a lot of new yorkers, certainly here in the city, woke up and said oh, no, here we go. what can you tell us about this latest case? what do we know?

>> yeah. well, good morning to all of you, and you, gayle. first, new yorkers should not be surprised. we've been talking about this for days. i have said it's not a question of if but when. you see the number of cases around the globe. new york is the gateway to the world. so, that's not shocking. and we've been preparing for it and we've been truly diligent on this issue. this is somewhat of a unique case, because this woman was a health care worker, coming back from iran, as you mentioned. so, she knew to take precautions and stay in a controlled situation. and then go for testing. and we got the testing results back. so, i don't think there's anything extraordinary in this case, of anything, because she was a health care worker. she knew to take precautions herself, which was fortunate. >> governor, how effective do you expect that test to be? do you have enough?

will you have enough? >> good question. we just got the federal authority to do the testing, and we are now going to scale up very, very quickly. so we'll have the ability to test. and, again, in this quote, unquote, containment phase. it's about the detection and then the isolation. and it's the mobilization of the health care system more than anything. beyond that, it's a communication issue to people, you know. we want to keep this -- we want to have a healthy diligence about this issue, but we don't want an unnecessary anxiety and we don't want people overreacting. so, that's what this is really about to me. >> can you confirm that she was -- she lives in manhattan? if that is the case, have you ruled out the possibility of something like we saw in china, where a city or region is sealed off as a containment method?

>> yeah. she does live in manhattan. she is isolated in her apartment and there's no cause to do anything but that. again, this is not -- by the way, ebola was much more frightening than this issue. we've gone through viruses that are frankly more frightening than this, so we need a little context for all of this, a little perspective. we have to treat it. we have to be serious, but there's the fear, in my opinion, is outpacing reason at this point. >> governor, we thank you very much for your time. >> thanks very much, governor. >> thanks, guys. thank you. the democratic presidential field is shrinking ahead of tomorrow's super tuesday vote. pete buttigieg suspended his campaign yesterday after finishing fourth in the south carolina primary. joe biden trounced bernie sanders to give his campaign more momentum going into super

tuesday and tom steyer, as you saw, finished third in south carolina, danced his way out but dropped out of the race. sanders holds the lead over biden with 1300 delegates up for grabs tomorrow. ed o'keefe joins us now. thank you, ed. why do you think pete buttigieg dropped out before the vote tomorrow night? >> it came as a surprise and the timing is significant. he signaled that it's designed to stop bernie sanders from getting an insurmountable lead tuesday. >> the truth is the path narrowed to a close. >> first openly gay candidate brought his candidacy to an end in his home state. >> best way to keep faith with those goals and ideals is to step aside, help bring our party and country together.

>> reporter: he argues if bernie sanders is the nominee. could hurt democrats in the house and senate. >> i urge everyone who supported me to continue in the cause in ensuring we bring change to the white house and working to win the absolutely critical down ballot races. >> reporter: sanders said he knows some democratic party leaders are now trying to block his rise, but he encouraged buttigieg's supporters to join him. >> i just want to welcome all of his supporters into our movement. >> reporter: january cbs news battleground tracker poll showed among buttigieg supporters, their second choice would be senator elizabeth warren followed by former vice president joe biden. >> pundits declared my candidacy dead. now thanks to the heart of the democratic party in south carolina, >> reporter: coming off a decisive victory in south carolina, biden focused his attacks on sanders. >> people are not looking for a revolution.

they're looking for results. >> reporter: with six candidates still in the race, former mayor michael bloomberg told "60 minutes," he won't quit, even if he doesn't finish in the top three on tuesday. you'll keep going? >> sure. this election is seven days later, another one 14 days later. >> reporter: he visited alabama yesterday to campaign and commemorate the 55th anniversary of the bloody sunday march in selma. when he delivered remarks at the historic church, several congregants stood up, turned their backs and remained standing during his speech. >> major garrett is tracking this going into tuesday. good morning. >> good morning. in theory, joe biden. as ed o'keefe pointed out, the second choice for buttigieg supporters was elizabeth warren, but that was in january. things are different now. the democratic party is looking to consolidate.

joe biden is the person most likely to get that consolidation metric or that idea. this is the real key for the biden campaign. it has got to get better faster. it's got to take this momentum from south carolina, add the buttigieg supporters and donors if it can. remember, as joe biden was winning south carolina, his number one endorser, jim clyburn said his campaign had been mishandled. what did he mean by that? joe biden was probably always going to win south carolina and win it big, but what that victory did was save biden from catastrophe. it did not catapult him into the absolute front-runner position. why? because joe biden performed so poorly in iowa, new hampshire and nevada. that's what he meant by mishandling. biden's campaign, whatever comes from buttigieg's exit, he has to get better and get better very rapidly. >> major, mayor bloomberg on the ballot first time tomorrow night. what's at stake for him? >> something he knows a lot about. return on investment.

he has spent more than $500 million when you look at broadcast and digital advertising. does he win a single state? if not, does he come in a strong and respectable second at any key battleground state and does he reap delegates from unexpected terrain? if the answer to all three of those questions is no, there's almost no return on investment and no path to make this campaign relevant going forward. all this money and this entire premise about skipping the first four contests is on the line and the theory behind it will be decided, not by mike bloomberg and not by his money, but by voters who have been besieged by his campaign ads and rendering their own judgment. >> a third of delegates up for grabs this primary season will be on the plate tuesday. what else should we be looking for? >> one thing to think about, that's a lot of delegates. because democrats apportion them, not winner take all, but how you do in congressional districts and statewide, if you meet that 15% threshold, elizabeth warren, amy klobuchar, or whoever else, you get a few delegates.

texas and california are the big prizes. who can carry a place like north carolina and virginia? 14 states tomorrow. remember, no one is going to emerge from super tuesday with a lock on the nomination. you could get a lot closer, but you will not lock it up tomorrow night. >> major, thank you very much. moving overseas, north korea jack welch has died. he is one of the most influential business leaders. he led general electric through the '80s and '90s, rebuilding it into a giant and diversifying to finance and other businesses. he was criticized for kiting jobs, praised for business skill, quoted by many imitators. one quote, fix it, close it, or sell it. jack welch was 84 years old. moving overseas, north korea reportedly has fired its first missile in months.

south korea military says two short-range ballistic missiles were fired into the sea of japan overnight, two days after north korea reported its leader, kim jong-un supervised a combat readiness drill. coronavirus outbreak in asia could explain the pause in north korea's missile testing. >> a disagreement over releasing taliban prisoners threatens to upset a deal to end the 18-year conflict in afghanistan, america's longest war. the agreement with the taliban signed saturday would allow all u.s. troops to leave in 14 months, if conditions are met. but afghanistan's president doesn't want to free thousands of prisoners. today, the taliban said it won't negotiate with the government until those prisoners are released. secretary of state mike pompeo said on "face the nation" yesterday bringing peace to afghanistan is, quote, going to be rocky and bumpy. two chicago police officers are under investigation after

all signs in this point to a hate crime. ed human rights campaign says 26 transgender or gender conforming people were culled in the u.s. last year and 90% of those cases were black women and 80% involve people under the age of 30. david begnaud travelled to puerto rico to investigate the story. very upsetting, david. what do you know? >> her name was alexa. that's who she told people she was. we know little about her is and her family is not talking. a transgender person like alexa, the sex assigned at birth is different than what they know inside. so far her killers have been not been arrested. it appears that as though a false narrative spread on social media and led people to defame alexa and may have led to

some to target and threaten her. police tell us someone accused her of putting a mirror under a bathroom stall to peep on people. police say there was no proof of that. after the mcdonald's incident, people started to shame alexa on social media. crazy guy dressed as a woman, one post read. be careful and watch out. that false narrative spread like wildfire. >> reporter: nandy torres said he watched in horror as the hatred spread on social media. he met her last year, saw her lying on a bench, looking scared. >> reporter: on the night alexa was murdered, torres said he sat at home responding to those hatred media posts.

those posts may have motivated three 18-year-old young men to threaten alexa and record it. >> reporter: in that recording, something is shot at alexa. police are investigating whether it was a pellet gun, paintball gun or a gun with a silencer. her body was found on the side of the road shot multiple times. nine casings were found at the scene. they think the three teenagers either committed the murder or know the person who did. alexa's murder has shocked the conscience in the people of puerto rico and horrified the transgender community, of which 27-year-old maria is part of. >> we might not be killed but a lot of us live feeling like we're dead. we don't even have access to

identify ourselves. we lose respect from our families, from our friends. we have a hard time going to the bathroom. we have a hard time getting a job. we have a hard time building a life, in general. >> reporter: alexa was homeless. she had apparently cut off ties with her family, but in the end, it was the family that was required to claim her body. they had it cremated here and opted not to have a funeral service. >> what did you learn from her? >> it's hard for me. >> reporter: in life, it seemed as though alexa suffered

silently. and in death she was humiliated publicly and may have been killed because of an accusation that was never proven to be true. so about that mirror, which someone said alexa used to spy on someone in the bathroom, which police say they found no proof of, andy torres said she used to use that mirror to watch her back and see who was behind her. puerto rico police is leading this investigation. the fbi could come in and open a hate crime investigation but as of this morning, they have not. the question is, why not? the day alexa was murdered was her birthday. >> one sad detail after another. i really admired mr. torres, though, who number one didn't really know her, was just trying to help another human being. i hope he's right in that it will shock people into saying we should do better. >> igniting a flame within himself. >> he, more than anyone, just wanted this story to be told.

>> at least two people inside this nursing home tested positive for coronavirus. another person was rushed to the hospital for testing. >> airlines are very concerned it is going to impact their bottom line but also could disrupt their ability to operate around the world. >> have you ruled out the possibility of something like where a city or region is sealed off as a containment method? >> she does live in manhattan. she is isolated in her apartment. there is no cause to do anything but that. >> buttigieg's sudden exit came as a surprise and the timing is significant. he signaled the decision is designed to stop front-runner senator bernie sanders from amassing an insurmountable lead. >> the democratic party is looking to consolidate. joe biden is the person most likely to get that consolidation metric. >> this was halftime at auburn, kentucky. fan hit a half-court shot to win $10,000. >> incredible!

that is pure jubilation. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> a wonderful thing to watch. >> we were saying we've seen a lot of those lately. is it easier than it looks? >> i don't think so. >> i don't either. but i like it when people do it. >> yes. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." we begin of course with the coronavirus because it continues to spread across the world and right here in this country where a second person has now died. officials say a man in his 70s died over the weekend at the evergreen health medical center just outside seattle, washington. there are now cases of the potentially deadly virus in 12 different states. >> that includes new york, which just confirmed its first case in new york city. officials say a female health care worker in her 30s is isolated in her manhattan home after contracting the virus in iran. america is one of at least 67 countries with coronavirus. italy has been hit especially hard. charlie d'agata is there for us in rome. what are you seeing?

>> reporter: good morning. well, it is kind of what we're not seeing. that is a ton of tourists outside the coliseum which would normally be heaving. hotels are empty, too. we are now hearing the first case has been detected here in rome. here's what venice looks like now not much more than a week after many are aware the coronavirus arrived. the number of cases in italy soared by 50% on sunday to more than 1700. people are even worried about the health of pope francis who had to pause to cough a couple times during yesterday's prayers. vatican officials tell us his holne holiness just has a bad cold. in a town where people are worried about gathering in large crowds for fear of spreading the virus the numbers here seem lighter than usual. when the u.s. state department upped the travel advisory here to its highest level, rosemary mcmillan from nebraska faced calls from parents at her daughter's school. >> i had parents calling me and

saying, well, what are your contingency plans for when you arrive back? like we were going to put ourselves in quarantine. and i was just like, no. that's not the way it's going to work. >> reporter: in paris the louvre shut its doors over staff concerns. the health minister suggested people stop kissing when they meet. marathon runners defied a ban on events larger than 5,000 people. in germany chancellor angela merkel had a handshake turned down. for today's election, israel has set up voting stations for those in quarantine with staff in full hazmat gear. outside of china nowhere has been hit harder than south korea where cases keep climbing now at more than 4300 people. most people we've spoken to here say the hype has been over blown but we met a couple who arrived off a cruise from ireland and they tried to buy some hand sanitizer like this, about this size. they were told it was going to cost them around $22 bucks.

anthony? >> thanks, charlie. our doctor is here with how infectious the disease actually is and how it affects the human body. good morning. >> good morning. >> what do we actually know about how the virus is spread? >> so what we know about covid 19 is based on what we know about how other kriechbses are spread which is person to person contact. if i sneeze the droplets can enter up to six feet and enter your nose, mouth, or lungs. the other way is if i cough or sneeze and it lands on a surface or object and you touch that, and touch your face, the virus can enter that way. we do think as i said the spread is confined to about six feet. that it is not really airborne like some diseases like measles are, for example. so that's why people are concerned with the masks. >> what are some of the signs and symptoms? >> so signs and symptoms -- fever, cough, shortness of breath. in some cases people can have headache or even diarrhea,

muscle ache, sore throat, runny nose, congestion. >> it's easy to work yourself up. i was in the gym working out in l.a. over the weekend. somebody starts coughing. you look over at them. you're on a plane. somebody starts coughing. how do we put this in perspective about how worried we should be and when to really get worried? >> i think what everybody is saying is that we need to be prepared and not panicked, right? >> easier said than done though. >> it is. when you look at what we know from china, 80% of those cases were mild. they had mild symptoms. only about 14% were severe. even less were critical. the death rate that we have calculated at this point is about 2% although because there's probably so many more cases than we've detected it is probably even lower. in the grand scheme of things, for most people if they get it, it will end up being a mild disorder. >> it can be treated if you get it. >> yes. >> treated with supportive care. we don't have any sort of

antiviral that is designated. >> there is no vaccine. >> when does it become deadly? >> so the issue with covid 19 is that this virus can affect the lower tract of your airway. it can enter those cells that line your respiratory tract in the lungs. and there it can start to replicate and damage those cells. what happens after that point is your immune system launches a response to try to clean up and repair. the problem is in some people that immune system response is so overwhelming it's not in check and that basically floods the lungs with inflammatory mediators and cellular debris and you also have leakiness of the blood vessels so essentially the lungs start to drowned. that is a situation that can become as severe as pneumonia, and then progress to what we call sepsis where you have a drop of blood pressure and multi organ failure. that is how it causes death. the lungs are where we exchange oxygen and carbon monoxide. if your lungs are full of fluid and debris in the cellular material you cannot get oxygen

ated blood into your cells and the rest of your body. that is how it becomes severe. >> all right. thank you very much. >> thank you. we are seeing a major shakeup in the democratic presidential battle ahead of tomorrow's super tuesday vote. former mayor pete buttigieg dropped out yesterday after a narrow delegate win in iowa and finishing second in new hampshire. buttigieg as you know was a long way behind in nevada and south carolina. >> joe biden's decisive win in south carolina may have been a key factor in buttigieg's decision to leave the race. the former vice president sees himself as the only candidate who can beat bernie sanders. buttigieg suggested he ended his campaign to try to stop sanders from running away with the delegate lead. as dean reynolds reports, his withdrawal was almost as unexpected as his campaign itself. >> i told pete to run because i knew there were other kids sitting out there in this country who needed to believe in themselves, too.

>> reporter: an emotional chasten buttigieg introduced his husband at a final rally in south carolina where the campaign started over ten months ago. >> i am a proud son of south bend, indiana, and i am running for president of the united states. >> reporter: the 38-year-old former navy officer and one of the youngest presidential candidates in modern history, rose to the top of a crowded democratic field with a moderate platform. >> senator sanders believes in an inflectionible, ideological revolution that leaves out most democrats. not to mention most americans. >> reporter: buttigieg won the most number of delegates in iowa but has been unable to build a broad coalition of support particularly among black voters, something he addressed on "cbs this morning" back in december. >> there is a lot of skepticism of the new person showing up but i welcome that challenge because it is critically important not only to win but to deserve to win. >> reporter: nearly three months later he got only 3% support from black voters in south carolina according to cbs news

exit polls. supporters were shocked by the news of his withdrawal, but say he'll be remembered for breaking barriers. >> he didn't win the presidency but he has opened the door and, hopefully, inspired people to run for office. >> reporter: cbs news political contributor joel payne says this is just the beginning for buttigieg. >> he is if you look generationally the candidate best positioned over the next decade plus to be a big player within the democratic party. >> reporter: payne also told us by withdrawing now buttigieg has probably pleased the democratic party establishment, which had been pressuring him and other hopefuls to get out of the race and let a single moderate candidate solidify support. anthony? >> dean, thank you. ahead, we'll talk to former obama campaign manager about super tuesday and why he says the democratic race is now a

>> this year's polls, have you been paying attention, number one goal of democratic voters is defeating president trump. david plouffe, the title of his new book certainly makes it very clear what he was thinking. he was president obama's campaign manager in 2008, went on to serve him as a senior adviser. he written a book called "a citizen's guide to beating donald trump." good to see you. you say even if you have to hold your nose and vote, that counts. that counts. that's what you said is the bottom line in any election, you have to get out and vote? >> i wrote this book so that the average citizen understands the important role they can play. they can determine this election. if it is close it will come down to an interaction where someone says i'm not sure i'm going to

vote. i don't love the democratic nominee. the only way to get rid of trump is to vote for a nominee, whoever it is. to win this election, we're not going to win it with people wearing your candidate's t-shirt necessarily or bumper sticker on the car. >> many people don't want to get rid of trump, too. >> more than enough people in the country to defeat trump, even just those who are currently registered. we have to turn them out. there's a perfect situation group we need to win. we have math on our side in that standpoint. >> a lot has changed in the last 48 hours, joe biden's big win in south carolina, buttigieg drops out. buttigieg leaving, how does that change this race, do you think? >> i think it does clear out a little bit of the left center lane. n now, a bunch of people already voted for mayor pete early, in states like california. >> early voting counts. >> early voting is important, particularly in the general election. i talk about that in the book. but that means on election day now you have a segment of voters -- some states where he was getting 9, 10, 12% polls.

that has to reallocate. it's a battle for the rest of the candidates. >> do you think this is a two-person contest? >> i do, in reality. mike bloomberg will get some delegates and elizabeth warren will as well. who can get north of 40, 45%? sanders needs to grow but has a very, very firm floor and biden with the african-american vote now i think will dominate in the south. those are the two candidates we're down to now. >> how can you say that when bloomberg is counting on super tuesday and we haven't had that yet? >> we have to see how well he has does but he has spent more money than we did in the obama years and has gone up to 15 or 16. because of his performance in the debates, inability to grow into the african-american community in particular, there's a natural ceiling on where he is. we'll see where he is tomorrow. joe biden clearly has to come out of tomorrow with more delegates out of super tuesday than mike bloomberg. >> if it's a two-person race, bloomberg and warren shall are they spoilers, in effect, and if

so for which candidate, biden or sanders? >> we have to see how things come out tomorrow. bloomberg, as much money as he has spent, he hasn't faced a single voter yet. elizabeth warren's campaign believes there's a convention play for them, which i'm skeptical of. someone who is not the one or two number delegate, vote get r getter, is going to be the nomin nominee, it's hard for me to see. mayor pete made history by winning iowa as our first gay candidate to do so but set a good example when he saw there wasn't a path for him, he made the hard decision to exit. >> go ahead. >> you know who cleared the field. if your former boss, president obama, were to make an endorsement -- >> i thought you were going to say oprah got in. the way you looked at me -- >> i thought you were going to ask the same question. a clarifying moment on the democratic side, if president obama stepped in, we've heard that he's not a fan of bernie sanders as an electable

candidate. can we expect any signals or signs from the former president? >> only four states have voted so far. we need to let more democrats have their say before -- listen, at the end of the day i've never been a believer that -- even barack obama coming in saying i've decided -- voters are going to make their own decision. >> sometimes that alienates voters if you come in too early. >> that's right. >> you say in the book that republicans are consistently -- they are better voters than democrats in terms of turning out without prodding. >> this is why you what you do want to go you will you he super nice but also a raffle like you think i like bossy arizon wisconsin, pennsylvania, registering voters, turning people out, creating content and making the case, they have fox and sinclair and trump. they have the russians. we need people to -- >> who would you pick?

this, in her first attempt in a marathon. molly seidel is headed to the li olympics in tokyo, coming in second place in atlanta in the trials behind her hero. like i said, it was her first marathon. she has been training in arizona. she lives in boston where she has two jobs, works at a coffee shop, is a babysitter and shares her apartment with her sister. she wrote on the back of her photograph in fourth grade i wish i will make it into the olympics and win a gold medal. now she has the chance. >> one thing i love about this, you know, by the way, i think she has four ncaa titles. she's an accomplished runner but had never run a marathon before. the other thing i love is one of her favorite traditions is to wear a turkey costume in turkey trot in her native, wisconsin. there she is. she said nothing better than beating boys when dressed as a

turkey. >> i like when kids write something down and then it becomes true, you look at it years later. molly, we are cheering for you. i'm ending with a little beyonce and nia. who is nia? a ucla gymnast. nia dennis is her name, performing to a medley of beyonce songs, always a showstopper. 8 million views. dennis, who turned 21 the day of the event says she's overwhelmed by the response. so much attitude. so good. alicia keys said look at this unstoppable power, confidence. shine, nia dennis and kamala harris said beyonce herself would be proud. make you feel good about what they've done and that's her when she's rocking out to beyonce. >> something going on at ucla

gymnastics. >> very cool. >> very nice. moving on. only on "cbs this morning," we are revealing the top ten riskiest scams, a new report from the better business bureau. americans lost, get this, nearly $667 million to scams in 2019 alone. that is a lot of money. more than $37,000 were reported to the bbb, better business bureau. that number decreased from 2018, the median, middle amount of money lost per scheme rose to $160. 45% of people exposed to one of those scams in 2019 lost money, one in three. our consumer investigative correspondent anna werner is here to explain more. anna, good morning. >> good morning. >> employment scams are the biggest one, apparently. how do those work? >> somebody will say to you, hey, listen, you could make part-time money working from home. one of these victims said she was a college student and she

shared her story with the bbb. they said you can make $300 and you can make $300 per quarter if you just sign up for this. what they're really looking for is your personal information here. so, they'll say in order to get this job, you have to provide your personal information. like your birthday, your social security number, here is how we're going to pay you. and i think a lot of these employment scams is, look, you're not going to get a lot of money for not working very hard. and yet people want to believe that they can. and they're talking about the fact that also they've got a really -- what they call into a high-touch approach. instead of sending you a quick email, hey, make money, they'll engage with the victims. they'll actually have them do some work for the business before they get paid. sometimes they'll send a check. oh, we overpaid you. we need you to send us some of the extra money back. of course, the first check is a

fake. >> fake. >> right? and then you're actually sending them real dollars out of your bank account. lots of employment scams. >> the second riskiest part, i was surprised about this, are crypto kurpsy scams? >> i was surprised to hear this, too. crypto currency is something people don't understand that well. we're talking about bitcoin. often times they're appealing to people hey, there's this new kind of thing. you can buy bitcoin, maximize your money. >> get rich. >> and people don't really do the research. here is a tip. don't invest in something that you don't understand. >> that is really good advice. they can talk it to you so well. you're still sitting there going, i don't understand the word you're saying. but they say it with such confidence. barbara corcoran did a great thing admitting publicly she fell victim to the scam. tony had a similar experience where the email was off a little

bit. you think tony, barbara corcoran, katy tur. >> very savvy. >> savvy people. >> i think they're getting approximate smarter and smarter. they're not just sending you the crappy looking phishing emails. microsoft a year and a half ago, they showed us the pages and emails coming in. they watch for this stuff. they have a team that does this. some of them are incredibly sophisticated. unfortunately as it so often does with us as consumers, you have to watch out for yourself. also, keep in mind, we all hate to admit this, but there's a little bit of a greed factor. >> right. >> people get excited, i can get the five grand. i can make the two grand. they kind of want to believe it. all of us might be a little greedy about trying to get the money. >> i was surprised about another thing, too. the most profitable for scammers tend to be these romance scams and that's not about money. >> romance scams, right.

>> $3,000 some people. >> i never understand sending money to somebody you don't know, who you haven't met because they're telling you sweet nothings. >> let me set this up for you, gayle. i actually have somebody that i know who lost $280,000 to a romance scam. >> wow! >> and this person was somebody who was a little bit vulnerable, but as they say in romance scams, one of the main factors, and a lot of people are 55 to 64 years of zblanlg loneliness? >> loneliness. >> here again, they're very clever. they call them on the phone, develop a phone relationship with the victim. the people feel like -- women, second riskiest scam for women as you see. they feel like they've developed a relationship with somebody. they'll say to them on the phone, don't tell your friends and family about us. they'll never understand. then they start saying i flew to south africa. i'm on my way to you. >> i was in an accident? >> i was in an accident. my daughter couldn't get out of

the hospital. i just need two grand. next time it's i need four grand. next time it's 300. >> by then you feel like you've built up a relationship with someone and you want to help them. >> you have, it's just not a real one. >> thank you, anna werner. always good to have you here. 9-year-old is getting nationwide attention for using crayons to make people feel vo: in life, there are talkers

and there are doers. mike bloomberg has spent his life getting things done. started a company from scratch, creating 20,000 good paying jobs. that's getting it done. as mayor, he rebuilt a shaken city after 9/11, created over 450,000 jobs. expanded healthcare to 700,000 and raised teacher pay. elected for three terms because he got things done. mike beat the nra, strengthening gun laws. he beat big coal, closing over 300 dirty coal fired plants. mike is still getting things done. so ask yourself. for president, do you want a debater or a doer? someone with workable, common sense plans to fix healthcare and create jobs, who's done both. mike has the record and resources to beat trump. and it will take both. but mike will get it done. bloomberg: i'm mike bloomberg and i approve this message.

steyer: wall street banks took of millions of americans during the recession. so, my wife kat and i took action. we started a non-profit community bank with a simple theory- give people a fair deal and real economic power. invest in the community. in businesses owned by women and people of color. in affordable housing. the difference between words and actions matters. that's a lesson politicians in washington could use right now. i'm tom steyer, and i approve this message.

a virginia 9-year-old little girl is leading a campaign to make classrooms more inclusive across the country. her name is bellen woodard. many refer to peach as skin color when drawing with crayons but that didn't sit right with bell bellen. meg oliver tells us how she's inspiring change. can't wait to hear this. >> reporter: thinking outside the crayon box, an example of how one small thought could lead to a big idea of acceptance and inclusion. 9-year-old bellen woodard says there's no rule book for coloring but last year in her third grade classroom, she noticed something. >> my friends will ask for the skin color crayon, talking about

the peach crayon. so i knew what they were talking about. i just handed it over to them. >> reporter: bellen, the only african-american girl in her grade that year was uncomfortable labeling the single color peach as skin color. >> i wasn't mad but confused and felt disincluded because i knew i was different from everyone else. >> reporter: bellen's mother, tasha woodard. >> skin color is brown, easy fix. hand them the brown crayon and she stopped me right there and she said no, mom, that's not what i'm going to do. >> i said instead i'm going to ask them which color they want because it could be a number of any colors. >> reporter: she ban gacreating color boxes, packing the kits full of crayons and colors representing multicultural skin tones and donating them to local schools. bellen calls her initiative more

than peach. >> it's more about making sure kids know that they're included and there's also not just one skin color besides jump the peach crayon. eventually all my classmates were telling me the color they wanted instead of just asking for the skin color crayon. it makes me feel good because now i feel like i've inspired others to make sure they know that evey -- to include everyone. >> she embraces all of what is around her, all the opportunities that are presented to her and she has claimed her space. so, i applaud her for that. >> my name is bellen. i'm 8 years old and crowator of more than peach project. >> reporter: today, the project is getting national attention, receiving support from brands like office depot and crayola. >> we have peach, black, white. >> reporter: for bellen, more than peach is about more than coloring. >> my goal is to donate the kits

and hopefully maybe even get it across the country because everyone should know that they're important and included. >> bellen has been granted proclamations for politicians, recognized by her school board for her efforts. when she grows up, she would like to continue more than peach alongside her plan to become an astronaut and also an actress and, wait for it, a scientist. >> i think she'll be able to. >> you said when she's grown up. she's awful grown up already in so many ways. >> she is. and last night she told me she didn't feel sad when she handed that skin color crayon, she just didn't feel important and she wants everyone across the country to feel important. >> first, love her hair. it was called flesh tone and i thought that's not really my tone but it never occurred to me to do anything about it. i just thought well, that's how it is. the fact that she, at 8 years old, thought what can we do to

make this right is so impressive to me. >> this kid is going into the virginia museum of history and culture in a couple of weeks. >> bravo, bellen. and mom, too. great story, meg. >> thank you. this morning on "cbs this morning" podcast, gayle talks to orman about the common mistakes people make when they're near retirement. the ultimate retirement f 50 plus and strategies to make your money last a lifetime. incredible milestone. family celebrating, get this, the second leap year birth in four years. we'll be right back. working with mike bloomberg was one of the most empowering experiences that i've had. it's important to talk to the people who know him personally. i worked for him for 8 years in city hall. i've been working for bloomberg for 27 years. 25 years. almost 30 years. there's nobody that i respect more, and felt more respected by. mike believes excellence

is not defined by gender. mike builds a culture that advances women. i was the first woman ever appointed to be council to the mayor. he expects excellence out of everyone, but he also provides the kind of support that allows you to be that person. mike called to tell me, you should be proud of what you've done and your name should be on that project. he has faith in you, he believes in you. it was about always showing up and doing your best. i always knew that he had my back. he was raised by an extraordinary woman, she supported him all along the way and that's very much a part of who he is. mike supports women, he promotes women, and he respects women.

we choose to go to the and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. president kennedy knew settling for half-measures wasn't good enough. so when candidates say we can't guarantee health care for all, make college affordable for all, combat climate change, or create a world at peace, remember that america is best when we strive to do big things, even when it's hard. i'm bernie sanders and i approve this message. . before we go, an adorable stroke of luck. a mom fwav birth to a second
