7:03 am
women did the same job? that checks out. huh. i say huh. >> thiss morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. let's go places. and welcome to "cbs this morning." the coronavirus dominating the news yet again. in california, the remaining passengers on the "grand princess" cruise ship will leave and go into quarantine today. at least 21 people on board have tested positive for the coronavirus and at least two passengers are now suing the cruise line. >> meanwhile, wall street is looking to bounce back from a 2,000-point loss in the dow jones industrial average. that is the biggest single day point drop of all time. and italy has ordered nationwide travel restrictions and banned public gatherings after the number of reported cases there grew to more than 9,000. more than any other country outside of china. throughout the broadcast today, we're going to share the newest numbers and critical information on the outbreak.
7:04 am
and our lead national correspondent david begnaud is monitoring it all for us. a lot of people are watching this. >> tony, facts over fears. right now there are more than 780 reported cases in the u.s. that's about 200 more than yesterday. the virus is now linked to 26 deaths nationwide. it's also spread to two more states since yesterday. 36 states and the district of columbia are now reporting cases. the total number of patients around the globe has reached more than 115,000. let's take you to china. president xi jinping visited wuhan, the epicenter of the virus. he went there for the first time since the outbreak began. and he declared the outbreak, quote, basically curbed. china recorded just 19 new cases overnight. that's the lowest one-day total since it started counting. back here in the u.s., the cdc is releasing coronavirus test numbers. less than 8500 tests have been done in labs since mid-january. the trump administration has said there would be 4 million
7:05 am
tests available by the end of this week. vice president mike pence said last night that private companies, like quest and lab corp, have manufactured a test that is on the market today. i want to tell you the story of a new jersey man who is the first in that state to contract coronavirus. he's 32 years old. he's a physician's assistant. james cai. he thinks he caught the virus at a medical conference in times square last week. he said his symptoms were a cough and shortness of breath. he actually spoke to our new york station wcbs from his hospital bed. he said his condition deteriorated in just days. despite previously being in pretty good health. >> so i went to the city md in new jersey, paramus, and they did an x-ray. they see nothing. this viral came up so quick. not even one week, my lungs, it's bilateral, on both sides. before this, one side. people have to take coronavirus
7:06 am
seriously. >> james says he initially went to the urgent care, then to the hospital from there where he's been ever since. we checked with his family this morning. the good news is, he's alive. he's not doing any more interviews, but we'll follow his progress. michelle? >> david, thank you. president trump spoke briefly to reporters yesterday, but did not answer questions. he plans to hold a news conference later today. five members of congress close to the president now say they're in self-quarantine because they had contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. paula reid is at the white house. paula, does the president plan to get tested? >> good morning. president trump traveled with one of those self-quarantined lawmakers just yesterday on air force one and another is his incoming chief of staff. but the white house says the president has not been tested because they say he has not come into contact with anyone who has tested positive and they say he's not exhibiting any
7:07 am
symptoms. >> it's blindsided the world, and i think we've handled it very, very well. >> reporter: amid mounting criticism of his administration's resesponse to outbreak that has been moving across the globe for nearly three months, president trump once again tried to reassure americans. >> we will be taking care of the american public. >> reporter: the president previously said he thought the u.s. economy was resilient enough to weather the fallout of coronavirus. but now, he says he's seeking a very substantial relief, including help for hourly wage earners and a possible payroll tax cut. even a 1 percentage reduction in the payroll tax could cut up to $75 billion in revenue. in a sign of how quickly pressure is mounting -- >> we think we will get out of this within months. >> reporter: just this past friday, the president's top economic adviser larry kudlow had pushed against big stimulus packages. the administration is also considering relief for airlines and the cruise industry.
7:08 am
but democrats say the white house should prioritize help for individuals before corporations. >> this is about the families. about putting families first. if your children's school is closed, who is going to take care of them at home? >> reporter: at least five members of congress have now self-quarantined after interacting last month with an individual at the conservative political action conference, or cpac, who later tested positive for coronavirus. they include the president's incoming chief of staff mark meadows, georgia's doug collins, who shook president trump's hand friday ahead of a visit to the cdc, and florida's matt gaetz who flew with the president on air force one just yesterday. gaetz tweeted a photo of himself wearing a gas mask while signing the coronavirus funding bill. it's unclear just how much of an appetite republicans have for payroll tax cuts. that kind of relief is designed to put more money in workers' pockets, but it's unclear if
7:09 am
that stimulus would work in a situation like this where many people are staying home and not spending too much money. >> paula, thank you. wall street is in turn around mode after a day of record-setting losses with investors showing optimism about the trump administration's coronavirus proposals. stocks opened sharply higher this morning. that after yesterday all three of the major indexes plunged more than 7%. nikki battiste is outside the new york stock exchange for us. good morning. is this rally likely to hold? >> good morning. experts warn the odds of a recession have increased. the president's potential stimulus package has caused stocks to rise this morning after opening. it comes after yesterday's massive stock market slide where the dow suffered its worst losses since the financial crisis of 2008. congress would have to approve any of the president's payroll tax proposals. he's also discussing paying hourly employees for time missed due to the coronavirus. crude oil prices also rebounded after plunging to their lowest
7:10 am
level since 1991. the drop came as russia feuds with saudi arabia or saudi oil production. this morning's initial gains are calming fears of a bear market today before closing. that happens when stocks drop more than 20% since their recent peak. the lastprolonged market happened in the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 when u.s. stocks fell by more than half. >> nikki, thank you. in our next hour, we'll talk to jill schlesinger about what to do with 401(k)s and other investments during this market turbulence. the vatican closed st. peter's square and basilica to tourists. that follows italy's move to put the entire country into lockdown. a desperate bid to stop the coronavirus from spreading further. it's the most severe restriction on movement in italy since world war ii. charlie d'agata is in rome. charlie, what's it like there now? >> good morning, anthony.
7:11 am
look at the piazza del popolo. you've been here. the people's square. not today. the prime minister here has described the situation, quoting winston churchill, as italy's darket hour. if anyone wants to see what a worst case scenario looks like, look no further than italy. it was the news a nation already on its knees was dreading. but as the crisis deepened, it felt inevitable. the announcement triggered a rash of panic buying here in rome as shoppers in masks swarmed supermarkets in fear of a countrywide lockdown. in a national address, prime minister giuseppe conte spelled it out in the starkest terms. we've run out of time. we're having a growth in infection and deaths. the whole of italy will become a protected zone. in essence, a quarantine of the entire country of 60 million people until next month. here's what life under lockdown means. travel across italy severely restricted.
7:12 am
all public gatherings of any kind strictly forbidden. employees should work from home or prove to police why they're not. restaurants and shops will their doorersk. thexton the shutdo schools andities acros the country. violators risk up to three months in jail or fines of $225. the extreme measures after the number of cases jumped once again, now the most infections outside of china. more than 9,000 cases, 463 people have died. officials in the hardest hit northern region say hospitals are on the verge of collapse. >> the last few days, been pretty confusing. >> reporter: we spoke with an 88-yeefld with pre-existing conditions who has been stuck inside his house since the original shutdown. are you scared? >> yes, i am scared. who is not scared about dying? everybody's scare about dying. >> reporter: now, if there is
7:13 am
some good news to report, there are some reassuring signs that extreme measures like these are working. across some of the northern zones where this quarantine has been in place for a couple of weeks, the numbers there are actually going down. michelle? >> we hope those measures do work. charlie d'agata in rome, thank you. in california, cruise ship passengers stranded by the coronavirus are being screened after their ship docked in oakland. about 1200 passengers, or roughly half of the 2400 passengers who were on board the "grand princess" still have not set foot on land. one couple has now filed a lawsuit arguing the cruise line put their health at risk. carter evans is at the port in oakland. carter, how long will it take to get those people off that ship? >> well, because everyone has to be screened, it could take two to three days to complete the process. now as you can imagine, passengers aboard the ship are pretty excited to leave this cruise, but their long journey home is just beginning.
7:14 am
the first stop for passengers leaving the "grand princess" is this secure 11-acre containment area. the most critically ill are loaded into ambulances. most are taking buses or chaerted flights to u.s. military bases with foreign nationals headed to the airport for flights out of the country. >> any symptoms? >> no symptoms. >> reporter: passengers wearing protective masks were interviewed by crew members monday after they were allowed to leave their rooms for the first time in days. >> my gosh. i can't believe it. >> reporter: 19 crew members and two passengers on the cruise have tested positive for coronavirus. the ship has also been linked to 12 cases from a previous trip, including one death. >> my condition is not the best. i have a pacemaker, defibrillator. >> reporter: ron weissberger and his wife are suing the parent company saying the cruise continued to sail knowing that some passengers and crew had already been exposed to
7:15 am
covid-19. >> if we would have known, let's say, before we landed in the first port, we would have gotten off that ship and flown back home. >> reporter: despite the recent outbreaks at sea, at least six more cruise ships set sail monday but the $53 billion a year industry could be impacted by the state department's warning to americans not to take cruises. >> i want to let other passengers know what they are getting into once they sign up for a cruise. >> reporter: after everyone's been screened, the entire site here is going to be pressure washed with a bleach solution to decontaminate it. as for the lawsuit, princess cruises says it doesn't respond to pending litigations. instead, right now it's focusing on the passengers and crew. tony? >> carter, thank you. now to the other major story. a crucial day in the democratic primary. voting is under way in michigan where joe biden and bernie sanders have been campaigning in recent days.
7:16 am
it's one of six states holding primaries or caucuses today. 352 delegates on the line. washington, idaho, north dakota, missouri and mississippi are also heading to the polls. but michigan again is the day's big prize. two recent polls show that joe biden has a double-digit lead there. ed o'keefe is in detroit for us. good morning. politics is usually about handshakes and kissing babies but the coronavirus is complicating that effort. how is it impacting the campaign? >> good morning. here in michigan, no reported cases of coronavirus. and state officials say they have no shortage of poll workers. but in hard-hit washington state where they vote by mail, state officials are being encouraged to open ballots today while wearing gloves. >> i am so proud to endorse joe biden to be the next president of the united states. >> reporter: with polls giving him a big lead in michigan, joe biden campaigned with prominent supporters, including michigan governor gretchen whitmer. it was a show among moderates in the party.
7:17 am
>> we're going to unite democrats, republicans and independents of any stripe. that's what the nation needs. >> reporter: bernie sanders won the michigan primary four years ago and needs to win again if he has any hope of catching biden in the delegate race. >> one of the differences between joe biden and myself is that joe bailed out the crooks on wall street who nearly destroyed our economy 12 years ago. >> reporter: as the coronavirus spreads nationwide and with both candidates in their 70s and attracting large crowds, california congresswoman jackie speier called on all candidates for president to stop holding public rallies and large-scale events adding the candidates must lead by example. the biden team responded saying it would continue to closely follow guidance from health officials, but that it plans to continue running an aggressive national campaign. in recent days, hand sanitizer has been front and center at biden and sanders' campaign events. >> we do not hold a rally without first conferring with local public health officials.
7:18 am
>> reporter: sanders did not say what if any precaution, he's specifically taking. >> i'm surrounded by medical personnel. thank you for asking. i am running for president of the united states. and that requires a whole lot of work. >> reporter: biden said last night in addition to following cdc guidelines, he will no longer shake hands along rope lines after his speeches. now he and sanders wake up today here in michigan and make a few stops before spending most of the day in ohio. the buckeye state is one of four holding primaries next week. >> all right, ed, thank you. the president suggested the coronavirus outbreak is minor compared to flu season. is he right? some answers ahead from dr. jon lapoo . good tuesday morning to. you it's a school tart to the day in the 40s and 50s. grab that jacket as you head out but you will not need it as we head through the afternoon with highs in the 60s and 70s. so mild to warm afternoon. 70 in san francisco.

home. the economy -- >> [ laughter ] >> welcome back to "cbs this morning". i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil. gayle king is off so "cbs this morning: saturday" co-host michelle miller is with us. as anxiety about the coronavirus grows president trump drew criticism from some health experts for comparing the illness to the common flu. he tweeted yesterday quote so last year 37,000 americans died from the common flu, at this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 22 deaths. think about that. dr. jon lapook is here to answer questions about the difference between the flu and the coronavirus. john, good morning. >> good morning.
7:32 am
>> is it fair to compare the flu and the coronavirus? >> well, there's no doubt that the flu is deadly and how many times have i been there, tens of millions of peopleett every year. tens of millions of people die. get the flu shot. this is on top of that. we're talking about really different things. so here's the difference. the flu as bad as it is, as deadly as it is, comes spring, come rain or shine the season will go down and it will stop. there's a flu vaccine. there's treatment like tamiflu. with the coronavirus it's a new novel coronavirus. so come warm weather we don't know what's going to happen. it may die down it may not. there's no vaccine. there's no treatment. unlike the flu this is important, unlike the flu where from past seasons we may have a little bit of immunity this the novel, this is new. >> we got some remedies for the
7:33 am
flu, the coronavirus is uncertain. >> the stock market hates uncertainty. >> what do we know about the death toll. it's not tens of thousands a year but where is it headed? >> i think it's too early to tell and i'll tell you why. we're seeing mortality rates going from less than 1% in south korea where they are testing a lot of people. almost 200,000. to 4%, something like that in other areas. i think a lot has to do with how extensive the testing is and where they catch the people. you catch the people and not doing a lot of testing the mortality rate will be higher. if as appears happening in south korea you're testing hundreds of thousands of people and you're getting them when their symptoms are very low or maybe don't have symptoms mortality rates will be much lower less than 1%. >> for folks out there someone coughs, someone sneezes, they are like coronavirus. so how does a person know the difference between the flu and the symptoms of coronavirus?
7:34 am
>> they may not. they can overlap. so the flu that you have -- have you ever had the flu? i had one time. every muscle in my body ache. you have a high fever. you can have some of the same symptoms. you can have a cough and a fever, shortness of breath you can have with both. that's why these tests are so important. we're now saying, we're promised millions will be here in the next few weeks. that will change things a lot. as we do more testing you're going to say, likely see the numbers real dramatically rise in the united states. on one hand we don't want to see it widespread but very possible that that's nu then the mortali will drop because you'll have a lot of people who have minor symptoms. >> drop in mortality rate might be reassuring. >> don't be rattled by the higher numbers. >> we haven't tested them. >> it's like flying blind right

8:03 am
coronavirus in the u.s., about 200 cases added since yesterday morning. the virus is linked to at least 26 deaths in the u.s., 36 states and the district of columbia have confirmed cases. in fact, new york state added five cases this morning. it now has more than 140. later today, more passengers from that "grand princess" cruise ship in oakland, california, will be taken off. here is how it works as one of the patients explained to us. temperature is taken, asked if they have any symptoms and then they are taken to travis air force base. many of them are going there. it's about an hour drive from the cruise ship, and most people are being told they'll stay there for a two-week quarantine. in terms of testing, the cdc says state and federal labs have processed only about 8,500 tests since mid-january. in seattle, the top floor of a parking garage has become a drive-through testing site for staff and faculty at the university of washington medical center northwest.
8:04 am
elementary, middle and high schools in at least 22 states and washington, d.c. a lot of places around the country have started to run out of hand sanitizer. you may have heard about that. here in new york state, the governor has announced the state will make its own hand sanitizer. governor andrew cuomo says prisoners will produce about 100,000 gallons a week and send them to the most impacted high-risk areas, schools, the mass transit area, and other places, state agencies. >> apparently it smells like lilac, he says. >> told a little citrus. >> david, thank you very much. the cdc says older adults and people with chronic medical conditions are most at risk for the coronavirus. we've got our dr. tara n explain what precautions to take if you or your loved ones are vulnerable. what does that mean in practice, what conditions are most susceptible to the virus? >> right, so the cdc call yesterday they gave as a briefing they mentioned cardiovascular disease,
8:05 am
hpertension, diabetes, if you c chronic lung disease but also immunosuppressed, cancer, on some medication that is weakening your immune system, these are some of the conditons we're talking about. >> things affecting the young and old, populations are both vulnerable. old are vulnerable but children apparently not. >> you see a u-shipped curve. at the tips of the "u" the kids and elderly are most vulnerable. covid-19 we're seeing kids spared from severe disease and the elderly affected. when we talk about ages, talking about individuals over 60, but with risk really increasing the older you get over 80 being at the highest risk. why might this be? when you look at the elderly, they tend to have weaker immune systems, they also have more chronic health conditions and what we think is that their immune system reaction to the virus may be kind of disregulated, overwhelming, develop cytokine storm, release the maidiators which damage the
8:06 am
lungs. the kids on the other hand what is reassuring for parents in china, the 70,000 cases they looked at, less than 2% were in those individuals under the age of 19. no children died in south korea or anybody under 30. there were no deaths, and no deaths under the age of 9 in china. again, how does this happen? kids may have for some reason the virus may not replicate as easily. they may have less mature receptors in the lungs, the ace receptors where the virus latches onto and another theory is as kids are exposed to the other coronaviruses, not covid-19, develop antibodies that are cross reactive. >> are pregnant women more vulnerable in this? >> another thing a lot of him want to know. we don't have a lot of data on this. it's a data-free area. what is the effect on pregnant women on the fetus, on the infant. in pregnancy your immune system down regulates so you don't reject the baby and physiology changes and this can set you up
8:07 am
being more vulnerable to respiratory viruses. when you look at sars and mers, we did see some cases where there was pregnancy loss or miscarriage. so far in a limited case series in china, we have not seen transmission from mother to baby in the newborns that were looked at and no evidence of virus in the amniotic fluid or breast milk. >> what about smoking and vaping? how does that impact? >> if there was ever a reason to quit, here is another one. anything that's going to compromise your lungs is going to increase your risk of being susceptib susceptible. smoking decreases your ability to fight infection, and one other interesting thing is that in china, we see more men dying from covid-19 than women, and one of the theories is that 50% of men in china smoke, less than 2% of women smoke. >> wow. >> this smoking -- >> that fact stuns me. >> the cdc is actively saying avoid cruises if you're in the vulnerable population. >> you saw stephen colbert,
8:08 am
avoid social gatherings. vulnerable populations, you want to try to stay home, avoid situations in close contact with other people, lack of great ntilation, where you're going to be exposed to the droplets, and even non-essential long plane flights you want to avoid. stock up on important medications, blood pressure medicine, diabetes medicines, fever or pain meds you might need supplies, avoid high touch surfaces so handles, elevator buttons, anything where you could get exposed and this is important, to make a plan with your caregiver, what's going to happen, who is going to take care of me? what if my caregiver gets sick and people don't like to discuss what they might want to happen in the event they do decompensate. do i want a breathing tube put in? what is my end of life care look like? these are hard discussions but important discussions to have. >> some tough decisions, hopefully people will begin to think about them and talk about them. >> yes. >> thank you, dr. tara narula. the democratic race for

concerns about the economic impact of the coronavirus. the dow plunged more than 2,000 points yesterday, its worst one-day point decline ever. in percentage terms, it was the biggest selloff since 2008. the slump pushed stocks close to a bear market, defined as a 20% drop from their peak. cbs business analyst jill schlesinger is here with advice about your investment. jill, good morning. >> good morning. >> what do you do to ease your fears in a moment like this? >> i think you go back to basics and say to yourself, let me remind myself what i'm doing here. i'm saving for usually a long-term goal, probably decades in the future, and that can really start to calm you down. also for most of us we have diversified portfolios. some in stocks, maybe some in bonds, some in cash and maybe even a little piece in gold, and that can make you feel better. i'm not the person who says don't check your accounts, by the way, i think sometimes when you check your accounts you think, oh, i didn't fall 8%
8:17 am
yesterday, i actually feel better. >> sometimes. >> if you are really freaking out -- >> could have fallen 15%. >> if you really are freaking out, it probably means you had too much risk in your portfolio. you might need some professional help in terms of an investment adviser. >> what if you need money soon? >> this is a real different category. if you knew coming into this period i have to buy a car, i have a big home repair, a house down payment, a tuition check to write, the money never should have been at risk in the first place. so, unfortunately, you kind of have to bite the bullet and get out of the risky thing, put it into something safe, cash, money markets, checking, saving, so you can preserve your money. honest to gosh, it's really hard to say i hope the market will go up so i can write this tuition check. do it right now. preserve that cash. >> on that point, recently retired or people thinking about it soon, sooner rather than later, what should they be doing? >> i got hundreds if not
8:18 am
thousands of emails from people who listen to my radio show about this very thought, and i think the general question is i'm 60 years old, i really want to retire in five years, this market's making me nuts, what do i do? again, this is really important because our life expectancies are so much longer than they used to be a 60-year-old has to plan on living to 85, 90, 95. again, you're a long-term investor. you really need to plan on that money lasting. and on that note, one of the ways we help money last is that we don't go into cash because cash is kind of losing bet, mean that after taxes and after inflation, you're going to automatically lose money. so pretty much everyone who is investing for the long term does need to have some money in the stock market, even though that's scary. and also when you retire, if you have a 401(k) or i.r.a., you're lucky enough to have these accounts, you're not pulling all that money out in one foul

gold medals are also expected to get a lot of money. another item up for sale, an american flag signed by his fellow '92 dream teamers, including michael jordan, of course. >> wow. >> barkley says that stuff's not important to me, it just clutters up my house. he hopes to build 10 to 20 affordable homes down there in alabama. >> wow. >> amazing. >> among his most prized items is an autographed bill russell jersey, the celtic legend won 11 nba -- he says if there was a fire, that's the first thing i'd take because bill don't sign nothing. >> bill don't sign no autograph. i understand. >> anyway, all going to a good cause. >> i like it. >> i do too. mental health professionals are saying they're already seeing an increase in patients anxious about the coronavirus. the american psychiatric association estimates that nearly 30% of adults suffer from an anxiety -- an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives.rmal feelings of nervousn
8:34 am
and often involve excessive fear or uneasiness. these disorders are the most common form of mental illness. varma is here with how to manage your fears about the coronavirus. good morning. did you expect this? is this taking you by surprise? and what can folks do to alleviate some of these concerns? >> yes. so, this level definitely i am surprised. and i understand that we need to have emotional insight and awareness. i think that the anxiety disorders come because we're contending with a war on two fronts. one is with the cognitive distortions that are in our mind and one is with the external reality. and in my practice, what i'm finding is that developing this approach, which i like to call practical philosophy -- practical is what can you actually do. >> right. >> and the optimism, practical optimism is about how can we change and challenge some of these negative distortions. >> is that what you call a productive way to worry? >> exactly. so, a productive worry is what
8:35 am
can i do? so, i'm finding that telling people to pick one reliable news source, whether it's cdc.gov, whether it's this show -- >> i was going to say, cbs news, for those watching at home. >>exmo andn limit thef intrus mitey-minute. and also, i would say, ask yourself, what is happening locally? yes, we want to know what's happening in china and what's happening in italy, but what is happening in your local school systems? to me, that's the most important thing in terms of the preparedness. >> this one is particularly troublesome for people who already struggle with anxiety. >> exactly. and one thing we're finding is first we were seeing that the things that were going off the shelves were the masks, the hand sanitizers. guess what, now it's toilet paper. why? because it gives us something to do. we're finding that all of these stores are running out of supplies because of the anxiety that we are projecting, the ka tasteifiesing. instead, we need to say, what can i do? how can i separate emotion from
8:36 am
fact? and that's the most important thing in dealing with the facts here. >> how do we talk with our kids about this? >> yes. so, kids need to be reassured by the parent. first, have age-appropriate conversations. let them lead. see where they're at. see what their fears are. a lot of times we're getting what we call stress contagion where the parents are putting their anxiety on the kids. kids like to be productive. they like to know facts like, okay, this is not hitting the children. who is it hitting? who are the most vulnerable? it's not the kids here. it's older people who are immuno medical conditions who are traveling, going on cruise ships. so say yes, there is a virus, you have to wash your hands, sing happy birthday, 20 seconds, because they could have the virus and not showing it and could pass it along. >> so you may not get sick, but your school could be shut down. >> and have a plan. what are we going to do? just like parents have to think about in the summer, what are you going to have when the kids are home, books, games? who's the caretaker? >> how about service to community? that's what my son's doing.
8:37 am
>> alternative spring break. >> absolutely. >> people can sometimes get through a virus with enhanced immuni immunity. i wonder when you're dealing with this from an anxiety point of view getting through this, could have immunity to this sort of event going forward? is there a silver lining, in other words? >> i love that question, because when i think about the four ms of mental health, mastery is one of them, in addition to mindfulness and meaningful engagement and movement. but mastery's not about what you're good at, it's about what you've overcome, right? me, as a former 9/11 medical director, resilience is something really important and post-traumatic growth. so, what can we learn? how stro a rultf >>an some anxiety be a good thing? >> yes, absolutely. anxiety is normal and anxiety helps motivate you, it helps park your resources, and the first question for me with anxiety is, what information do i need and how can i move forward from this? so, you need to recognize the emotional aspect, get help, talk to your therapist, have a support system. if you need to do more facetime. we're not getting to have as many in-person interactions,
8:38 am
especially if you're sick or self-quarantined or self-distancing, but don't stop the support system. that is so important. we need help more than ever before. >> yeah, yeah. and be sympathetic to one another. don't just say "calm down." >> yes, exactly. >> dr. sue varma, thank you very much. terms like black sheep and black-listed have developed out of our country's racist histories. authors ibram x. kendi and jason reynolds are in our toyota green room with their new book. they're having a good time in there, paernt, about the roots of racism. why they wrote it for younger
8:39 am
8:40 am
8:41 am
8:42 am
many headlines refer to the stock market plunge yesterday as black monday and that's just one of the subtle and not so subtle ways racism has been braided into our every day culture. ibram x kendi won an award for definitive history of racist ideas. now he's teaming up with jason reynolds to rework the book for younger audiences. it's a remix of the national book award-winning book, it's geared towards readers 12 and up. ibram x kendi and reynolds join us this morning. welcome. so jason, you took his text and you say now it is not a work of history, it is a book about the
8:43 am
present b-the here and now. why position it that way >> for a few reasons. number one young people don't like to read history books. so, to ensure them it's not a history book, it's sort of an open book. number two, because, because we do live on a continuum. all of our lives are affected by what happened before us our present is a put of our history. it's not what happened then but what's happening now. >> i love the two of you have paired up. i'm curious how you met and got together. >> we were both fortunate enough to be nominated for a national book award in 2016. i was saying iosn lewis. therefore i won as well. >> he wrote a book for the scholarly community and gets its readership and he comes along
8:44 am
and says let me help you reach another audience. >> that didn't happen. >> i asked him multiple times and he said, no. >> why? >> why did you finally say yes? >> i said no because i had an awful lot of respect for dr. king and this is his life work. his vocation. i'm careful about tampering with things that i believe are sacred and i just was kind of -- it's done. all right. and pressed on. yes because at some point i realized this work was bigger than boston us and not about either one of us. >> speak of the book, so many misconceptions and truly lies throughout the history of what children are taught about their history. i hate to put it that directly, but, you know, when you go back and you look at people like a thomas jefferson, george
8:45 am
washington, founding fathers who were so revered how do you reteach that? >> first and foremost you ask the question what does it mean that a slave holder heralded the american philosophy of freedom? and you sort of start there. i think young people can understand the contradictions. that's one of the things we're trying to show them through this book. what we can also do with fathers in general, most fathers and mothers want to teach their children to not make the same mistakes that they did but they have to be honest about those mistakes and we're honest in this book. >> you say we have to thaechs historical figures as people not as dieties. >> they are people with contradictions. they express racist and anti-racist ideas. we have to point out what those ideas are so we don't replicate those ideas. >> people out there say look america is the greatest country
8:46 am
ever existed and to engaging this negativity is to drag it down. >> what i say if we love the country as much as we claim we do then you must be honest about it. no different than my brother and sister, if i love them like i say i love them i can't lie about who they are and i have to challenge them when i think they are making mistakes. this is the ultimate act of patriotism as far as i'm concerned. >> sorry, go ahead. >> it's protective. we're able to protect young people so they begin to realize that there's nothing wrong with them or nothing superior about them. they form an identity that's really accurate about themselves. >> isn't that part of this uplift persuasion you talk about in the book >> it is. for many people of color in particular, many young people of color, they are taught that really the entire race is on
8:47 am
their back, that they always have to act in an upstanding manner around white people. that's very burdensome for young people. we free them of that. we urge young people to be themselves and to create an anti-racist society really allows us all to be ourselves with all of our imperfections. >> tony made reference to introducing you. end terms like black monday, black sheep can be freighted with a negative connotation. >> baked into the vocabulary. >> i don't think we even realize when you have a skin color and regular color and connoting b ih in a negative relation. >> language, i don't think we give enough credence to the power of language and how language works when it comes to forming culture. if we can start paying attention
8:48 am
to it and shift it -- >> how do you reach kids? you do this all the time. how do you reach them? >> i personally reached them using the three at tlehree tene by. number one humility. admitting we don't know everything. number two intimacy. the reason this book is in a conversational tone, conversations build intimacy and trust. number three gratitude. young people aren't thanked enough for being who they are. >> jason you write reposting will not be enough. scrolling is not enough. hash tag is not enough. don't just like it on instagram but do more. get out there in the world. >> ultimately my job and our job is to make sure folks feel autonomous enough to take the
8:49 am
charge. being active on social media is not enough and needs be more action in the street and letting their voice be truly heard. >> gentlemen, thank you very much. stamped racism, anti-racism and you is on sale today. before we go a nearly 100-year-old mcdonald's worker explains why she still loves to work. we'll be right back. get to the ross spring dress event, where the prices make all the dresses yeses. yeah! save 20 to 60 percent off department store prices on our best selection of spring dresses. the ross spring dress event, on now! 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.
