>> and, the fog is back for the weekend. good morning to our viewers in the west and welcome to "cbs this morning," i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. coronavirus on the rise. the number of cases in the u.s. surges while the global total approaches 100,000. people on a giant cruise ship off san francisco are tested for the disease. we hear from some of the passengers on board. the race to respond. we're dedicating the entire second hour of our show to the worsening coronavirus crisis. how it started, where it's spreading, and what you need to do to protect your family's health. idaho mystery, the mother of two missing children goes to court in idaho today. the new evidence that's led investigators to a national park. and royal return, harry and meghan are back in britain together carrying out their last official duties in the uk.

how they braved bad weather and a mixed reception from bystanders. it's friday, march 6th, 2020. here's today's eye opener, your world in 90 seconds. coronavirus concerns have thousands stranded on this cruise ship. >> it's going to all work out. everybody has to be calm. it's all going to work out. >> the world health organization warnings this is not a drill. >> the roller coaster on wall street continues because of uncertainty from the outbreak. >> maybe we'd be better off if we gave it to everybody and then in a month it'd be over. >> one less candidate in the presidential race. >> senator elizabeth warren has dropped out, but she has not endorsed anybody yet. >> one of the hardest parts of this is all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. >> president trump taking questions from voters in joe biden's hometown. >> mentally i'm all set for bernie, and then we had this crazy thing that happened on tuesday, which he thought was thursday.

>> the mother of two missing children has been extradited. lori vallow is expected to appear before a judge. >> prince harry and meghan markle are back in the uk. >> it's very nice to be back. >> all that. >> seth curry is back in the lineup after breaking his left hand. >> how about that! >> and all that matters. >> it's a hat trick! >> the hat trick. >> the hats came flying but he was just getting started, mika zibanejad scored five goals. >> the rangers win! >> on "cbs this morning." >> mostly a good boy. mostly. >> so bailey ate a burrito today. >> yes. >> because he had his own feelings about the end of the campaign. >> warren's press secretary gabrielle farrell posted on twitter, bailey legit just swiped someone's burrito.

along with footage of staffers trying to get the texmex from his mom. yes, yes, it's your burrito, but bailey has a plan for that. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> i've been there with dogs, once it's in the mouth, hard to get it out. >> i love that bailey appeared on rachel maddow. that was great. >> i was just going to say that. welcome to "cbs this morning." we begin again with a story about the coronavirus. the worldwide outbreak has reached nearly 100,000 confirmed cases and more than 3,300 deaths. health officials in the u.s. and elsewhere are now scrambling to contain it. there are now 230 known cases. nevada and colorado reported their first cases yesterday. 12 people have died, 11 of them in washington state where a seattle suburb has closed all schools for the next two weeks. this morning a cruise ship with passengers and crew members suspected of having the disease

sits 70 miles off the coast of san francisco. that city just reported its first cases. jamie yuccas is in san francisco. jamie, how are passengers on that ship responding? >> reporter: well, anthony, we spoke with a few passengers who aren't necessarily scared but were concerned with the ship's protocols. california health officials say 35 people from the ship developed flu-like symptoms during the trip and will keep the passengers offshore to ensure the safety of people in california. with more than 3,500 passengers and crew stranded on board the grand princess cruise, the coast guard rushed to the scene dropping onto the ship's deserted deck. 310 kits to potentially infected passengers. >> will everybody on board the cruise ship be tested or just a certain select number of people? >> the cdc is -- will select who is tested, but they are testing folks who were symptomatic first. >> reporter: those tests were then sent to this lab in richmond, california, and results are expected this

morning. the ship will stay about 70 miles offshore until those on board are deemed healthy. we spoke with chris grady, who is currently on board the princess cruise. he says the ship allowed people to roam around common areas even though this very same ship carried a passenger who died of coronavirus on wednesday. >> i felt like they probably should have just had everybody go to their rooms pretty much immediately once they figured that out. >> reporter: up the coast in washington state the 12th u.s. death was announced, eight are connected to this nursing home in kirkland. >> my mother, i got a phone call this morning that she passed. >> reporter: pat herrick says she was told her mother elaine died of natural causes. she praised the staff but says her mother was healthy. and e w. >> i'm asking and lobbying to make sure she gets tested. i want her body tested and i've been told we don't do that. we just have to assume it's natural causes.

>> i think somebody somewhere decided this population of people wasn't worth wasting resources on. kevin connelly's father is at life car. he told our carter evans he is demanding government intervention. >> it's getting worse. it's not getting better. >> reporter: princess cruises has already canceled its upcoming voyage on this ship as it deals with the crisis. health officials here have not said when they expect passengers to be let off the ship, but it is expected to take days. one passenger told us they are being told to stay in their rooms for now. tony. >> a lot of anxious people, jamie. thank you very much. the u.s. government is getting some criticism in the race to respond to this crisis. the cdc is accused of botching the initial rollout of testing kits and not getting more americans tested for the coronavirus sooner. ben tracy is at the white house where president trump is saying not to worry. ben, good morning. this would be a challenge for any leader. what is the president's next step?

>> reporter: well, the president was supposed to visit the cdc in atlanta today but he has now canceled that trip. he is expected to sign that $8 billion emergency spending bill. that will help fund an eventual vaccine and more testing, but there are still a lot of questions just about how many tests are available and who can actually get tested. >> everybody has to be calm. 's a goi to o >> reporter: on fox news thursday night, president trump once again down played the threat of coronavirus and complimented his administration's response. >> i think people are viewing us as having done a very good job. >> reporter: but congress is already investigating the slow rollout of coronavirus testing kits that are just now reaching labs across the country. in minnesota thursday while visiting a company that makes protective face masks, the vice president acknowledged a shortfall in the number of kits available. >> we don't have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand going forward.

>> reporter: on wednesday, pence made this estimate. >> roughly 1.5 million, tests will be available this week. >> reporter: yesterday alex azar explained that each person needs more than one test. >> by the end of the week, we believe we'll have shipped enough for 75,000 people to be tested. >> reporter: azar added that a private company would be able to provide material for another 400,000 people to be tested, so this week roughly less than half a million people could actually be tested. the mixed messaging has frustrated lawmakers like patty murray from washington state, which has been fighting the deadliest outbreaks of the virus in the u.s. >> i am deeply concerned that i do not have the trust in this administration right now. >> reporter: the state's governor jay inslee has been fiercely critical of president trump's handling of the virus response, but he sounded hopeful after a meeting with the vice president. >> i want to focus today on the work we need to do in partnership, and i can tell you

that i think that this is a good partnership moving forward. >> reporter: the white house is pushing back on reports that health and human services secretary alex azar has been sidelined. he's been criticized for the slow initial response to the vrus. he was noticeably absent during the vice president's trip but we did just see him at the white house with the president. >> all right, ben, thank you. investors worried about the coronavirus are bracing for what could be another tough day on wall street. u.s. stock indexes lost more than 3% yesterday giving up nearly all of their gains from a rally wednesday. opec nations met to discuss plans to cut production. russia is reportedly refusing to go along with it. and ahead, we'll have much more on the outbreak in our hour-long special, coronavirus the race to respond. we have correspondents around the world and our team of health experts will explain how you and your family can stay safe.

this is about information and education, not panic. it's all ahead in our next hour. >> let's emphasize that, not panic. it's tough though because it's scary. the fight to be the democratic presidential nominee is heating up including on twitter. former vice president joe biden and senator bernie sanders battled over social security last night at one point each telling the other to, quote, get real. both are also vying for an endorsement from senator elizabeth warren less than a day after she dropped out. ed o'keefe is in washington with more on this story. ed, a sign of the times, trash talking on twitter. everybody's watching. so what brought on this twitter fight? >> good morning, gayle, happy friday. the candidates have had this fight over cuts to entitlements. under 80 delegates separating the two, with six more contests next tuesday the stakes are higher than ever, even though both candidates have said they'd support whoever is the nominee, it's not holding them back from attacking each other. a preview of the battle between bernie sanders and joe biden came after president trump made this comment last night.

>> if you don't cut something in entitlements -- >> we're also going to have growth like we've never had before. >> sanders tweeting he has repeatedly advocated for cuts to social security. as a senator in the 1990s biden was open to cuts as a way to balance the budget. he now advocates for expanding the program and saying the only person who would cut social security if elected is donald trump. maybe you should spend your time attacking him. after biden's super tuesday wins and as the contest turns to six states voting on tuesday, sanders is trying to draw sharp contrasts. >> we have very different records and the american people should understand the difference. >> reporter: biden and sanders are hoping for the endorsement of senator elizabeth warren who dropped out yesterday, but she says she's not there yet. >> let's take a deep breath and spend a little time on that.

>> reporter: in a historically large and diverse field, warren was the front runner for a time last year but her exit means democrats are unlikely to nominate a woman. >> one of the hardest parts of this is all those pinky promises and all those little girls who are going to have to wait four more years. that's going to be hard. >> reporter: sanders has canceled appearances today in mississippi to focus more on michigan, a state he won in the 2016 primary. a sign that he's essentially going all in and banking on the midwest to blunt biden's momentum. anthony. >> elizabeth warren getting emotional there yesterday, ed, thank you very much. an alabama man has been executed despite pleas to save his life. nathaniel woods was present when three police officers were killed in birmingham in 2004, but it was another man who pulled the trigger. that man, kerry spencer, is also on death row, but he's yet to be executed for the crime. outside woods' prison before the

execution his sister held up a page from his trial transcript. she says it shows he was surrendering when the shots rang out. relatives of officers harley chisholm, carlos owen, and charles bennet watched woods die. bennet's widow spoke afterward. >> this will never, ever bring closure, and it certainly won't bring rob, carlos or harley back. >> woods died just after 9:00 last night without offering any last words. >> how are you put to death? i don't understand this story when it says another man admitted to pulling -- there's so many questions here. it doesn't make any sense to me. >> that's why so many people were objecting. >> it's very upsetting. harvey weinstein is waking up this morning in the rikers island jail complex. last week he was convicted o yesterday he was transferred to rikers island a day after undergoing a heart procedure. weinstein is scheduled to be sentenced next wednesday.

he faces 29 years in prison. the mother of two missing children will face a judge in idaho today after being extradited to her home state from hawaii. new video shows lori vallow in handcuffs during a layover in los angeles. jonathan vigliotti is outside yellowstone national park which the fbi says is now an area of interest, especially in the disappearance of 17-year-old tylee ryan. why is the focus on yellowstone today? >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle. police say cell phone data and photos show that lori vallow and her family visited here, but there is no evidence that tylee ryan ever left it. the fbi is now calling on everyone that came to the park on september 8th to look through their photos for signs of the family. it's been several months, and lori vallow hasn't said a word about where her children are. lori vallow's hawaiian honeymoon is over.

72iles easin monna's yellowe last known image of 17-year-old tylee ryan taken on a family trip. tylee, her brother jj, and uncle alex cox, also mom lori vallow and jj, jj's grandparents on seeing the photo. >> it made me very sad. >> there's a lot of emotions looking at that. >> reporter: if you've seen this truck or the kids on september 8th, the fbi wants to hear from you. the last known images of 7-year-old jj came a week later back in idaho. sources tell cbs news, investigators are also looking into vallow's brother alex cox after a series of mysterious deaths seen on police body camera after fatally shooting vallow's ex-husband. they believe cox is linked to the mysterious death of tammy daybell. cox mysteriously died in

december. and vallow will appear in court later this afternoon. the children's grandparents will also be there, they are the ones that requested the welfare check that set this investigation into motion. anthony. >> jonathan, thank you. prince harry and meghan markle are back in britain for their last official appearances as senior members of the royal family. the couple returned from their new home in canada to attend an award's ceremony last night. it celebrated the sporting achievements of wounded service members. roxana saberi is at buckingham palace. how have harry and meghan been received on their return? >> reporter: well, as usual there is intense interest in the couple, especially because meghan hasn't been back in about two months. this time she and harry are here to say good-bye, at least for now. braving the british weather and a reminder of the storm of controversy surrounding their return, the duke and duchess of sussex are back at their first official engagement since january's shock announcement they're stepping become as

fast. boy, anna, you move very fast because ten minutes ago i swear you were just right there in the green room, and now you're at the pharmacy. so what are you seeing in the pharmacy, anna werner? >> i was. fortunately, gayle, i am close by. you know, millions of americans are on the hunt for the same thing, products they think will protect them against the coronavirus. now, here at this pharmacy, the shelf where you would normally see the purell hand sanitizer, look, it's empty, and it's a similar scene at stores around the country. >> reporter: from coast to coast, retail stores are selling out of products, like hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and masks. a california woman posted this video from a costco store where she says hundreds of people lined up thursday morning to buy items that were limited. >> what are you looking for? >> alcohol. >> alcohol. i'll get it for you. >> reporter: in new york city

anything over there these days? >> reporter: you know, i don't know. i'm guessing that a lot of people are going to several locations, several store locations and going online to see where they can find items, but we are hearing widespread reports here in the city that everything is sold out. we've checked the stores like costco and target and numerous pharmacies. it seems like there's nothing left. >> that's what happened to me at cvs yesterday. we're standing in a long line complaining about we couldn't get what we came to get, so i ot >> as anna points out, simple soap and water will do the trick. >> they say sing happy birthday while you're washing your hands. >> the cookies are also a comfort. >> yes, they are. they're delicious. in our next hour be sure to watch our special, it's called "coronavirus, the race to respond, everything you should know to protect yourself and your family. we are talking about the facts amid the concern. the startling way two families discovered they had been given the wrong remains after their daughters were

♪ first on first on "cbs this morning" the families of two florida teenagers killed in a car wreck are now suing after they say their grief was made even worse by incompetence.15olra coo and 18-year-old deleigha gibson were apparently misidentified after the crash near pensacola last july.

just before a wake and not until after organs had been taken from the wrong body. manuel bojorquez is in pensacola. how did this happen? >> reporter: well, the families say they simply are not sure, and that's why they have filed a lawsuit to try to get more answers. the florida highway patrol, the county medical examiner's office and two funeral homes are listed in the suit after each family says they almost buried the wrong person. >> i'm not at peace. i'm not at peace. i'm not at peace. i feel like i haven't had a chance to mourn. >> reporter: it's been nearly eight months since renate cooks lost her only daughter, the pain only compounded by what happened when she asked the funeral home to see her before the wake. >> that's when i noticed it was not samara and there was a mix-up.

until preparations for their daughter's wakes were underway that the families discovered the mix-up. >> i don't sleep. i think about what happened or i try to put the puzzles together. >> it's just like you don't have any closure. >> no closure. >> and didn't get to lay to rest the way we wanted to. >> in a statement to cbs news, the florida highway patrol said in part due to the nature of this crash involving multiple ejections, positive identifications at the scene were not made. now these parents say they won't stop pushing for more answers. >> i don't want this to ever happen to any other parents. no one should go through this. trol said rther review of the case is ongoing to try to verify additional information. we reached out to the funeral homes but so far they have not commented, and the medical examiner's office told us, th families. tony. >> all right, thank you very much.

samara. .. good morning to our viewers in the west. it's friday, march 6th, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. as the coronavirus spreads across the country and around the world, we are dedicating this hour t outbreak. the goal of our special, we're calling it "coronavirus the race to respond" is to being tracked treated. we'll answer pressing questions and let you know how to protect yourself and your family. >> we have a team of reporters around the world. they'll share the latest on infection numbers, supply shortages, and the economic impact. >> we also have a panel of e answering your questions. but first, a look at how we got

here in a special eye opener at 8:00. >> we've got breaking news from china where the coronavirus outbreak took a very frightening turn. >> ramy inocencio left wuhan the epicenter of this outbreak. >> we got out earlier to take a look and an officer ordered, yelled at us to leave. >> 240 americans have left the epicenter of china's coronavirus outbreak. >> a lot of people actually scared mistakenlf sick people. >> right now there is no vaccine in the near future and no medication. >> the situation on ob "the afraid. >> unfortunately, one person passed away overnight.>> we cans to how many cases but we will have more. >> the possible outbreak of this virus is not happening in a major city. instead, in this leafy suburb. >> we are definitely going to see more cases. we have not been testing as they have in other parts of the world. >> i went to see. do you have your stethescope in

reported worldwide. the virus has killed more than 3300 people. but more than 55,000 patients who had the virus have now recovered. the most severe cases have been in older people and patients with pre-existing medical conditions. right now scientists believe the virus spreads between people in cloeps contact. that's within about six feet of one another. ic spaces are being sanitized in hopes ofn infected person's cough or sneeze or possibly by touching something with the virus on it like a door handle and then touching your face. >> the coronavirus has spread to six continents in three months. we want to show you how that occurred. it was first detected in december in wuhan, china. previously it had only been found in an animal but jumped to a person and that person infected others and dozens were infected forcing the chinese

government to publicly declare an outbreak. soon after that it spread through mainland china and made a jump internationally. south korea, japan, thailand, taiwan all on the list. on the same day it jumped across the pacific and appeared in washington state. that is the first known case in the united states. at the very same time, the "diamond princess" cruise ship february 5th docked in yokohama, japan at the time, 3,700 passengers onboard, 706 of them infected by the virus. eventually american passengers off of that ship were brought to the united states to military bases. unfortunately, the virus hitched a ride with at least 46 of them. meanwhile, it also landed in iran and no one is quite sure how it got there. it exploded in italy. 124 cases there soon became 888. then the jump was made throughout europe. germany, britain, croatia, france, spain also reporting cases. and then you make the leap to the southern hemisphere. brazil, nigeria, ecuador.

and, yes, south africa. now there are more than 90 affected countries. take a look at this map. over in the united states, there are at least 22 different states with at least one case. and that is the picture and the story that leads us back to this moment now. >> one of those states is new york. meg oliver is in one of the nation's busiest transportation hubs, new york city's penn station. do commuters there seem concerned? >> reporter: anthony, good morning. they tell me they are definitely thinking about it but as you can see they're still going about their daily routine. i commute an hour a day by bus and subway and i can tell you i have seen more people using hand sanitizer. here in penn station, more than 650,000 people pass through every day. that's a lot of people in packed quarters as coronavirus fears spread. cases doubled to 22 in new york state thursday and more than 2,700 people are bei

monitored. now, nationwide, there are at least 230 confirmed cases of coronavirus. at least 12 deaths. 11 of those in washington state. those fears are creating a rush on hand sanitizers, masks, cleaning supplies, sending sales up an estimated 817%. store shelves are empty across the country. we went to a supply company in new jersey where employees are working overtime to keep up with demand. the company's owner says it's hard to restock because many of the products are made in china. cargo ships aren't the only ones being kept from our shores. now, for all of these people traveling by rail, amtrak tells us they are cleaning more trains and stations and using more disinfectant. gayle? >> all right. thank you very much. our asia correspondent ramy inocencio has reported on this outbreak from across the region. first in january, from the virus epicenter in wuhan, china, then from south korea. that was in february. now in march he's in japan.

ramy, tokyo, usually a bustling city. what is it like now? >> reporter: gayle, good morning. i am at the famous crossing. think of it as tokyo's version of times square. really one of the world's busiest intersections right behind me. now, up to 2,500 people cross this thoroughfare every single time these lights change and if you can believe it this friday night right here, this is actually relatively peaceful. now, her japan more than 300 people have been confirmed to have coronavirus. unfortunately, at least six people have now died. the interesting thing is that only about 900 people each day actually get tested for the virus. now, that really, truly pales in comparison to the country just west of us. that is of course south korea whereabout 10,000 people -- that's right. 10,000 people get tested every single day there. so far south korea has more than

6,000 confirmed cases. that's the most for any country outside of china. but the death rate, get this, is relatively lower at only about 0.7%. now, that could be thanks to innovative measures like drive through testing. you heard that right. where medical workers decked out in protective clothing actually screen drivers who get to stay behind the wheels of their cars. now, earlier i spoke to sharon crawford, an american teacher in deagu where most of south korea's infections are happening. she told me she feels safer there than the united states. what can the u.s. learn from what's happening where you are? >> i think transparency is a huge deal. i think having -- being more prepared for potential outbreaks. i don't think america is prepared. >> reporter: japan now says starting this monday they are going to be quarantining any traveler coming from chinaea 14t they ati ihi country.

and, of course, looking ahead to the summer don't forget tokyo is host of the summer olympics. that starts in july. just about three and a half months from now. they say the preparations are still continuing at least for now. tony? >> now it is. ramy inocencio in tokyo, thank you very much. italy was the first european country to ban flights from china but that did not stop the virus from ballooning out of control there. charlie d'agata is in rome for us where the italian government faces a massive challenge. >> reporter: okay. let's get to those numbers. overnight the largest single day increase since this outbreak began. there are now nearly 3,900 cases, 148 people having died. we are outside italy's number one hospital for infectious diseases. you might be able to make out the silver tents. that is essentially a triage. you see them outside hospitals especially in the north, which has been hardes hit. this is where people that may have the infection can be treated and looked after without

spreading the virus to the rest of the hospital. across the country, schools and universities have been closed. italians have actually been urged to keep some distance from one another which obviously doesn't come naturally in a country like this. this is also home to europe's oldest population, the elderly have been advised to stay indoors for now. what you don't see out on the streets is a bunch of tourists. across the globe, hotel cancellations are up to more than 70%. in italy it's the top of that table. gayle? >> charlie d'agata reporting from rome. thank you. our doctor tara narula is here with the lessons the u.s. can learn from the way other countries are responding to this outbreak. good morning. i wonder do they know something we don't when we see they shut down their schools, restaurants are empty. let's talk about the drive by program. what can we learn from that? >> this was really ingenious and so creative. you know south korea took a lesson from what happened with their experience with mers in

2015 when they really were not prepared. in this you are able to basically drive up, have a sample taken within ten minutes. you are not exposing others to potential infection. this gives you really a broad, big picture of the disease. that is what you need. you are picking up a lot more cases. what that allows you to do is get a more accurate case fatality rate. you are screening more people. in addition it allows you to isolate where the infection is coming from so you can better control it. it also allows you to get treatment to people faster. that broad based screening is a really big deal. >> we don't have enough test kits according to vice president pence. how do we learn from other countries to better manage our response? >> we need to learn from other countries and speed is the critical thing. even in general medicine the quicker you pick up on a disease the quicker you can treat it and deal with it. that is also the case with epidemics and pandemics. one of the other things countries have done a good job at is this concept of social distancing. so not congregating in mass areas where you could potentially get exposed.

you know, in south korea they have a marketing campaign now where they're saying, hold on. let's not get social. you know? so we have a lot to learn. >> thanks. coming up, we'll be back . 57 in san francisco for a high. 59 oakland mid-60s in san jose so cooler for tomorrow. also lock at showers returning for your saturday, and partly sunny on sunday. rain chances next monday and tuesday

ahead the growing economic toll of the coronavirus. we go to the country's largest port to find out how a dramatic decline in cargo ship arrivals could affect the whole united states. and we'll talk about recession

concern concerns about the coronavirus have hammered stock markets around the world. the sars outbreak in 2003 cost the global economy an estimated $40 billion. now some predict coronavirus will do even more damage. carter evans shows us what may be the first major sign in the u.s. of the spreading economic contagion. >> reporter: the port of los angeles is the largest in the united states. 40% of all shipped imports enter the country here or next door in long beach. but now it's unusually quiet.

>> normally, carter, you would see 10 to 12 very large container ships working at the port every day. >> reporter: none of that is happening right now. >> that's right. the reason is 40 vessel sailings have been canceled thus far. we are a leading indicator for the economy. >> reporter: he says quaranines in china have factories shutting down and fewer products means less cargo to ship. >> reporter: so this is going to impact everyone. >> yes it will. it is a conversation of national significance. >> reporter: the drop in traffic is slowing jobarnings at the port, which is responsible for more than 10% of employment throughout southern california. its impact could be felt around the country. >> this coronavirus is more of an economic disaster than a health disaster. >> reporter: isaac larian heads up the company behind popular toys. you have the number ten selling toy in the entire world. >> i have number one and number

ten. and number two and number four. >> reporter: they're all sold out? >> all sold out. >> reporter: by some estimates china produces 85% of the world's toys. the eighth biggest import that usually comes through this port. but with their factories only operating at 40% capacity, products might start disappearing from u.s. store shelves. >> if these things don't come under control, then the next two to three weeks it is going to affect. so whether it's toys, consumer electronics, apparel, all of these things are going to get affected. >> reporter: representatives from the automotive industry and television manufacturers tell cbs news they're closely monitoring supply chains, while a foot wear trade group says the foot wear industry is seeing an impact on supply and sales from the coronavirus. how is this going to impact your bottom line? >> maybe hundreds of millions. >> reporter: multiply that by all of the businesses around the u.s. that rely on this port and the numbers become staggering.

this will be billions of dollars' worth of impact. >> so people can expect to pay higher prices because of the inactivity here right now. >> because the supply is not coming in as fast as you and i would like to buy our goods. >> reporter: for cbs this morning, carter evans, los angeles. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger is here with what the economic impact of the coronavirus could mean for you. good morning, jill. we've seen really stock market really unsettled, extremely unsettled. how significant is the risk of recession right now? >> you know, right now economists are not calling for a recession. and the oecd said global growth could actually be cut in half because of the coronavirus from 2.9% to 1.5%. here in the u.s. i speak to a lot of economists. they say we think growth in the united states could go from around 2% to 1.5%, as. however, they are increasing their odds of recession in 2020 to 50/50. that's a big jump from where we

were just six weeks ago. >> all right. that is a big change. companies will be adjusted. what do regular people do to prepare? >> i think if you look at what you really should do right now, it's about the old habits we want you to have. try to take any extra money and put it in a safe place, an emergency reserve fund. we've always talked about six to 12 months of living expenses in a safe place. if you are still employed. and we still have a vibrant job market right now. we'll get a jobs report out and have good numbers there. the thing is if you still have a job and have cash flow don't go spend it on stuff necessarily but pay down some debt. maybe you got some credit card debt. take care of yourself. build yourself a little fortress. >> jill, always the voice of reason. >> i try. >> thank you jill schlesinger. we'll be right back. you, jill schlesinger, we'll be right back.

as concerns over the coronavirus increase we are answering your most pressing questions. we have a panel of health experts with the answers in our

toyota green room right now trading ideas. they will be sharing them all with you coming right up. you're wat ing "cbs this . th ikpix5 news morning update. >> good morning. hammy friday. it's 8:2gianna frank o. it's looking better on the rotedways. look at bay bridge it's a quieting downs. >>ly for your morning commute. so if you are hitting roadways you shoulding go for the commute out of the east bay into san francisco. across the span that looks good into the city. san mateo bridge easing up a bit. and golden gate bridge right here, we are seeing extra volume on the southbound side of 101. but overall an easy ride out of marin county into the city. this is the drive times for bridges. only one in the yellow and it's not bad 11 minute rides from the maze to the city on the bay bridge. but the golden gate richmond is a ran fayel bridge looks good. and we are seeing some

improvement on the trouble spot south 680. right at treat boulevard the didn't. accident cleared and things look better through there. mary. it's a cool and cloudy start to our day. our temperatures are running in the low to mid-50s here's a live look of the trushure island camera with the gray start. we will see the clouds stick around for today. mostly cloudy. and cool daytime highs. so seasonal if not a little below average for this time of year. it will continue to cool it down for the weekend with showers returning tomorrow. in the meantime, 64 in santa clara for a high. 65 in san jose. 63 for concord, around the bay, 57. and san francisco for a high and for sals leado. 59 in oakland. and 62 for st. what legal ann. so a weak cold front pushes through bringing light rain back to the bay area tomorrow morning. partly sunny on sunday. rain chances early next week.

welcome back to "cbs this morning" in our special hour coronavirus the race to respond. our goal this morning is to inform you about what we know, where we're headed, and how to protect yourself and your family. as the virus spreads we are starting to hear first-hand accounts of people directly affected, including passengers who were quarantined on the "diamond princess" cruise ship. >> for me, the virus felt like a common cold. my wife and i did valentine's day quarantined on the "diamond princess" together. i'm feeling fine. had a high fever of 103 plus. i had a dry cough. if i wasn't contagious i would have been back at work the next day. >> the coronavirus swept through the ship. i ended up testing positive

relatively early on in the quarantines and i was removed from the ship and placed in a hospital in downtown tokyo where i spent exactly three weeks. >> my experience was thankfully very mild. there's no reason to panic. it's just a sickness. and it will run its course. >> as the virus predators here in the u.s. we brought together a panel of health experts to answer your questions. cbs news medical contributor, you know her well, dr. tara narula is back with us. we are also joined by the director of the center for infectious disease and research and policy at the university of minnesota. he knows a lot. and dr. van gupta a respiratory specialist and global health policy expert. welcome, doctors. i'll start with you, michael. can we just talk about the ship for a second? what do you think when you see that? >> it is a cruel human experiment. we know the cruise ships facilitate transmission just by the air circulation in the inner cabins and "the diamond princess" was proof of that.

every cruise ship where we have this where you keep people out to sea it is just a matter of time before many get ill. we got to get them off the ship, on land. quarantine them there if you want to do that but get them off the ship. >> let's talk about the rest of us who aren't on ships. i always thought many people think if you haven't been to italy, china, south korea, or any of the affected countries and you haven't come in contact with any of those people that you're pretty okay. >> right now we have pretty much a homogenous viral reactor around the world. basically it's not okay. it's what we knew would happen. we predicted a month ago we would suddenly see activity pick up in the united states. today seattle has as many cases as many other countries we've mentioned. we'll have more seattles in the next few days to weeks. you have to now just like seasonal influenza, assume that this is everywhere right now and anyone could potentially be infected that way. >> so, tara, in terms of testing should you only get tested if you have symptoms?

should everybody be tested? what are the praarameters here? >> it is an interesting question. there was a change this week. basically that said that anyone can get tested with the permission of their doctor but what we're looking at are people who have the symptoms we know are associated with covid 19 which is fever, shortness of breath, cough. if you have those symptoms you should speak to your doctor and let the doctor really get an assessment of your clinical picture, what your travel history or exposure history might be, and then make a decision as to whether you should be tested. at that point, you know, you will be either sent to a hospital or at some point have it done in the clinic when the lab tests become available. >> dr. gupta, what does the coronavirus actually do to your body? >> any point of entry to the body, sinuses, gastrointestinal tract, what it does is invades the lining of those cavities, causes local inflammation. that's when you have symptoms, shortness of breath, cough. you have a runny nose.

those are -- we also see well. that is what is happening at the cellular level. >> do you always have symptoms? >> so one of the interesting dynamics here is we're seeing potentially asymptomatic transmission where people are not actually demonstrating classic symptoms of cough, shortness of breath, fever. but they are able to transmit the disease. one thing on testing one of the struggles we had and everything tara said is absolutely correct, we don't know, these emergency tests coming just cleared by the fda, who knows how they function in the field? we have no idea. >> you don't know if they'll work you're saying? >> we hope they do and better than initially deployed to the states but who is to say how they'll actually function in the field? are they highly functional enough? >> are we prepared for this to spread across the country, michael? >> we are prepared in the sense that we know it's coming and our health care facilities are going to have a major increase in

load. that's not an issue of debate. what is a concern is how prepared are we at the health care level particularly? >> are we? >> we're not. we have country for intensive care medicine and on any given day they're filled. >> can you get this, not know you have it, and recover without being treated? >> yes. the vast majority, what we now know is in the first day of your infection where you're actually putting the virus out you may not even have symptoms as we just heard from dr. gupta but we know over the next three to five days you have this upper respiratory infection just like the flu type of picture. for some reason a large risk is there for people who are over age 55, 60, have underlying health problems for the virus then getting into the lungs and causing the additional problems. the vast majority of people never experience that. they'll just have the first couple days of respiratory symptoms. >> and they can get through it. >> they won't even be treated

and will be fine. >> but they might infect others. dr. gupta, we have a question from a viewer in minnesota, and let's listen to that. >> i would like to know how long the virus lives on the various surfaces. >> such a good question. i think it -- what we know now, we have studies that show it depends on ambient temperature number one and then on the surface. so depending on the temperature, if it is say 70 degrees you could see basically the virus particles live on surfaces like paper or steel up to anywhere from two hours to nine days. >> wow. >> if it is ambient, a 60 to 70 degrees longer life span, it's hotter or colder shorter life span. >> another viewer asked should we be limiting air travel and gatherings of large numbers of people? south by southwest is scheduled for next week. right now it is still on. those kind of gatherings. >> today if you're someone who is over age 55, you're someone with underlying health problems, i would say don't put yourself at risk being in large

gatherings. younger age populations have seen very little serious illness. in fact, no one in korea under age 30 has died. in china only 2.1% of the cases were people 19 years of age or younger. again, i think we have to start looking carefully. one area we're very concerned about is school closings. mostly today the illness is going to be in adults and if not in kids should we be closing schools? well, maybe yes if they're shedding the virus, getting sick. i mean, getting infected not sick and shedding the virus we should. at this point, distancing for people with underlying health problems is a real important issue. >> we want to do a quick reality check on some of the things we've been hearing about. the first, face masks which are getting a lot of attention. do face masks actually protect you from the virus? >> no. we've been trying to make this point loud and clear. the surgeon general tried to make this point. stop buying face masks. the surgical masks you see everybody walking around with are not able to prevent the viral particles from getting to you. they can go around.

they're not fitted to your face appropriately. the n95 respirator masks that the health care professionals use are meant to keep out 95% of very small particles. >> we should save them for the health care workers. >> we should. >> is this more or less contagious than traditional flu? >> this is just like influenza in every way possible and the way i describe it is like trying to control the wound. anyone that would suggest trying to stop a seasonal flu year by trying to control it somehow, it would be laughed out of the room. it's really about a vaccine for flu. we don't have a vaccine. we are pretty much at the whim of the respiratory transmission. >> we've been talking about people but what about pets. this came from an animal. can it go back to an animal? >> a lot of people asking about pets. >> there is the case of the dog in hong kong i believe that tested weakly positive for the virus. what i can say and evidence that exists today suggests no. you cannot actually acquire coronavirus from a pet. i think it's a wait-and-see

approach because we don't know enough information. right now the evidence suggests no. >> hand sanitizers are being sold. what products should we be using? >> any alcohol based hand rub. the one we all talk about is purell but there are a number on the market and they do help. they not only help with this but we have a lot of other infectious diseases the three of us are worried about besides influenza and that helps a lot with those too. >> what about the liquor cabinet at home? it is a friday. will that wash anything away? >> a great public health message on alcohol, in moderation. >> somebody else said lysol. >> the epa just released a letter that lists all the potential products that can be used against covid 19 and have been used against viruses even harder to kill than covid 19. lysol is one of those listed. clorox. we know that the covid 19 virus is surrounded, enveloped by a fatty layer that can be broken down easily by these. >> all right. thank you all very much. very helpful. fear about the coronavirus is hurting some asian american

businesses including restaurants. ahead we at cracker barrel you'll always feel right at home, with favorites like our golden country fried steak, our scratch-made buttermilk pancakes, and our signature chicken n' dumplins. so come on home to what you love, come on home to cracker barrel.

reports of racist incidents at hotels and bullying of asian american students. weijia jang visited a struggling chinese restaurant in new york city. what did you learn? >> good morning, anthony. it is clear that asian americans are facing discrimination over a disease that does discriminate. the cdc says asians are not more likely to contract or spread coronavirus than anyone else. politicians are now working to combat racism but one restaurant owner we spoke to said the damage is done. >> reporter: how has coronavirus impacted your business? >> tremendous. >> reporter: his family has owned a popular new york city restaurant for more than four decades. you've been through sars. you've been through swine flu. >> yes. >> is coronavirus different? >> yes. you talk about swine flu and h1n1, didn't feel anything at all. >> reporter: he says he has lost

$1.5 million and business is down around 50%. what do you think the reason is? >> the reason is because chinese started the coronavirus and there is a fear to get infected by chinese people. >> reporter: they think chinese people are at a chinese restaurant. >> yes. >> reporter: it's not just as restaurants. >> you haven't heard of the coronavirus? >> what does that have to do with us? >> reporter: last month a man posted videos on facebook that appeared to show employees at two hotels in indiana turning him away. >> so no asians can stay here. why is that? because of the virus. >> reporter: cbs news reached out to the alleged victim but did not hear back. wyndham hotels and resorts which owns both hotels said in a statement they are deeply troubled by these incidents as they are not reflective of our values or our expectations of franchisees. and they're treating this matter seriously. the racism has also surfaced in classrooms.

in madison, wisconsin school officials say there's been comments made toward asian students and they're working to stop those responsible. >> it really is seizing that moment to educate that student so they, you know, understand that their words have meaning and can be hurtful. >> it's not just in the u.s. asians around the world have reported discrimination linked to coronavirus. >> he shouted, i don't want coronavirus in my country. >> jonathan is a student from singapore studying in london. he told the bbc he was walking down the street last week when four people attacked him. >> such a seriou problem that has plagued us for a very long time. >> reporter: there's always been apparent attacks in new york city posted on social media. >> tell him to mo peter is councilman in flushing, queens a predominantly asian neighborhood. >> asian americans are just like

other americans. we are all susce tache tss comoc racism and misinformation. >> there's been a lot of xenophobia against folks who are part of our asian community. >> reporter: showing support at rallies and by dining in restaurants but lam worries the road forrecovery is a long one. >> it sounds like corona is crippling businesses and communities. >> it is. it is. >> reporter: do you think the damage is done? >> the damage is already done. already done. >> reporter: lam told us business continues to drop every day and he doesn't think they've seen the worst of it yet. the new york state assembly just passed a measure that allows the governor to direct emergency found small businesses impacted by coronavirus. >> nice. i agree with that sign. fight the virus not the people who have it. >> right. >> it is so important you're doing this story, weijia, to let people know this is happening and it really is not okay. >> well, the community feels like they are fighting two

diseases here. the disease of coronavirus but also bigotry. >> yes. >> i really feel for the young kids especially who are americans that are being made to feel like the other. >> weijia, thank you very much. >> thank you. before we go dr. tara narula will be back with final, important tips. we'll be right back. final important tips. we'll be right back.

transparency. one of the great resources is for individuals to go to the cdc website. there is so much there that's up to date and accurate. >> we've talked a lot about all these products flying off the shelves. what should people actually buy? >> i'll be taking notes. >> i went yesterday and i could not find anything. so it's important to keep, first and foremost, prescription drugs. if you have to be in r your home for 14 days, you want to have at least a two-week supply of your prescription medications or essential medications. nonperishable foods, diapers, formula, anything you might need if you are required to stay at home. and one last tip that my 7-year-old daughter loves because she loves making slime, is you can make your own hand sanitizer. two-thirds a cup of rubbing alcohol, one-third a cup of aloe vera gel and a little of essential oil and there you have it, if you can't find purell as long as it's over 60% alcohol. tara will continue to answer your questions on facebook live right after the show. just head to our "cbs this morning" facebook page to join that conversation.
