7:09 am
that if and when the infections will come. and they will come. >> reporter: it was a remarkably different tone than the one the president struck when he was on capitol hill earlier. >> it will go away. just stay calm. >> reporter: the president was lobbying republican senators on a stimulus to ease the economic impact of the outbreak. >> i was just with the republican senators, and there was -- they were just about all there. mostly all there. and there's a great feeling about doing a lot of things. >> reporter: the proposals include assistance to those without sick leave, possible tax relief to industries hit hardest by the outbreak, and a temporary payroll tax cut through the end of the year. that could cost up to hundreds of billions of dollars. the payroll tax supports the country's two biggest safety nets, social security and medicare, and the white house has given no details on how it would make up the lost revenue. >> at some point in the near future, we will outline in more detailed package for you.
7:10 am
>> reporter: the idea was met with resistance by democrats, and even some republicans aren't fully on board. >> i don't know if a payroll tax cut is the right stimulus. but we need something. >> reporter: meanwhile, the coronavirus task force is working to provide tips on how to stay healthy, including avoiding large crowds. will the pence/trump campaign suspend campaign rallies and other activities? >> i think that will be a decision that's made literally on a day-to-day basis. >> reporter: shortly after that briefing, the trump campaign announced a catholics for trump coalition event next week at an arena in wisconsin which seats thousands. it appears the administration's message on large social gatherings is do ad we say, not as we do. >> thank you. delays and mixed messages have hampered the federal government's response to the coronavirus. yesterday cbs news "evening news" anchor norah o'donnell asked president trump about one of the biggest challenges. >> why has the u.s. been so slow with testing? other countries have tested tens
7:11 am
of thousands -- >> i think the u.s. has done a very good job on testing. when people need a test, they can get a test. >> health and human services secretary alex azar has said around four million tests will be distributed by the end of this week. so far only about 8,500 tests have been performed. secretary azar joins us now. good morning. >> good morning. you want testing is difficult to track, because while tests have been sent out they're sent to private labs, and those labs don't report back to the cdc or to your department. why has that tracking not been more careful? >> so this is the system we have in the united states. we have sent out over 1.1 million tests. we have another two million tests that are either being shipped or are waiting to be ordered. we actually have a surplus of testing capacity in the united states right now. the numbers that you quoted are simply the tests that have been conducted by cdc's labs in
7:12 am
atlanta or by public health labs using the cdc test. that's not really the relevant . et, ands we always get that data. >> mr. secretary, why has it taken so long to build that system to monitor this and get the tests out? >> it actually hasn't. we had the tests right away, as soon as we got the genetic sequence from china. we have had capacity to test throughout this. there has not been an instance where a public health official needed to test somebody for the novel coronavirus where they couldn't get tested. we've always had the test running at cdc. they work with the network. we've had public health labs up and running. what we're doing now is expanding the testing to make sure it's ever closer to the patient, ever closer to the doctor and hospital, and just as convenient as humanly possible. >> can you guarantee that any doctor who wants to get a test
7:13 am
>> any doctor who believes that a test is clinically indicated can get that test done. there is no barrier whatsoever from the federal government in terms of getting that done. >> mr. azar, let's talk about risk. that's what everyone wants to miceask rce has aying er and or that for the typical american the risk remains low. c is saying in the latest update that many people will be exposed. this virus spreads easily and rapidly, and there's a good chance people will become sick. so when we talk about risk, what are we really talking about? >> well, it's a good question. there are two types of risk. first is the risk of contracting the coronavirus. at this point for most of us, that risk does remain low because the spread is really localized in four or five main jurisdictions in clusters, plus popup cases related to travel to infected areas. the biggest issue is severity.
7:14 am
>> but the fact the cdc -- i'm sorry, the cdc is saying over th ericanwill bsehe rus, and there's a good chance that they will become sick. so the chance of spread it seems to be acknowledged, is going to be high. when we talk about a low risk, we're talking about the second type i guess, seriousness. illness? >> so it's two issues. first, the risk of getting it for anyone right now. i said right now is low. that can change over time as this spreads further in the united states. we of course are doing aggressive containment and mitigation efforts at the local, state, and national level to prevent further spread -- or to mitigate that spread. >> i don't many -- i'm sorry to parse the time frame, but we want to be clear with americans. they should prepare over the next year, right now or the next 12 months, to be exposed and potentially become sick from this virus? >> we've been clear from day one that we're going to see further spreading and would see more cases. the most important issue for your viewers are the elderly, especially the medically frail elderly, as well as any individual with certain medical fragility issues like liver disease, kidney disease,
7:15 am
diabetes, recovering from cancer or immunosuppressed condition, these are the individuals globally that we have seen who tend to get the most severe consequences from getting the virus. most of us if we contract the virus get mild to moderate symptoms globally. >> all right. secretary azar, thank you very much. >> thank you. former vice president joe biden had another super tuesday and expanded his lead in the democratic race. biden won in four of six states which voted yesterday with two biden took the battleground state of michigan by double digits. biden now leads the race by 150 delegates, which significantly narrows any path to victory for senator bernie sanders. ed o'keefe is in cleveland, ohio. ed, what are we hearing from the sanders campaign now? >> reporter: well, good morning. sanders and biden were both scheduled to speak last night, but canceled the events. the senator went home to
7:16 am
vermont. we haven't heard from him, but one of his supporters called it a tough night. exit polls it shows that democrats are look ing for the candidate they believe can defeat president trump, and more of them believe it's joe biden. >> looks like we're going to have another good night. [ cheers ] >> reporter: addressing staff in philadelphia, joe biden said that going forward his campaign is about party unity. >> i want to thank you bernie sanders and his supporters for their tireless energy and their passion. we share a common goal, and together we'll defeat donald trump. >> reporter: biden was lifted by high turnout in michigan where nearly one million people voted absentee. almost twice as many as in 2016. the former vice president claimed victories again with the backing of african-american voters and also thanks to white voters and labor union members. earlier in the day, touring an auto plant in detroit, biden had a testy exchange with a voter over gun rights. >> you are actively trying to end the second amendment right
7:17 am
-- [ bleep ]. now shush, shush. i support the second amendment. just like right now if you yelled fire, that's not free speech. i have a 12 gauge, my sons hunt. guess what? i'm not taking your gun away at all. you need 100 rounds -- >> you say you're going to take our guns away. >> i did not say that. >> it's on video. >> it's a viral video like the other ones that they're putting out that are a lie. >> reporter: biden went on to say he proposed taking away semiautomatic weapons. both called off rallies. because of coronavirus. >> whenever we do rallies, we consult with public health officials.
7:18 am
exit polls found that democratic voters overwhelmingly believe the former vice president is best equipped to deal with a major crisis like this coronavirus outbreak. >> thank you, ed. harvey weinstein will be sentenced today for rape and a criminal sex act. ahead, what we are learning from newly disclosed emails between him and his brother. good wednesday morning n't we have been tracking very light showers and sprinklesness isolated showers across the south bay earlier this morning. , through the afternoon, mid- 60s sane parents also for oakland. upper 60s fremont. and there is a chance to see an isolated shower for the south bay. many of us will be dry. rain chances late saturday into sunday and much cooler.

decades in prison for a murder he says he did not commit could be a big step closer to freedom as soon as tomorrow. crosley green was found guilty of shooting and killing 22-year-old chip flynn in 1989. prosecutors relied on the word of flynn's former girlfriend, kim hallock, even though law enrct she might be the shooter. erin moriarty, who's followed the case since 1999 for "48 hours," spoke with green ahead of the federal appeals court hearing. >> my name is crosley green. i've been convicted for a crime i didn't commit. 31 years -- that's enough to break a man. that's enough to destroy a man. >> reporter: in the early morning hours of april 4th, 1989, 22-year-old charles flynn
7:40 am
known as chip was found in a florida orange grove with a single bullet in his chest, still alive. flynn's former girlfriend, kim hallock, told police that a black man had robbed the couple, hijacked them, and then shot flynn. >> i don't believe a word she says. >> reporter: brevard county first responders mark rixey and sergeant diane clarke questioned why hallock didn't immediately call 911. instead, she drove to a friend's house. >> something's wrong here. something is not ringing true. >> reporter: more surprising was what happened when they found flynn lucid and talking. >> first words out of his mouth were, "get me out of here. i want to go home." >> reporter: did he mention anything about an assailant? >> nope. >> no. >> i'm thinking, what the hell gn here. >> reporter: flynn was pronounced dead at the hospital. hallock was never investigated as a possible shooter even though she admitted she had argued with flynn who was seeing another woman. instead, detectives arrested

7:43 am

m metamucil? welcome back. the reported number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. has jumped by nearly 250 in just a day. more than 1,000 schools are closed or plan to close leaving more than 776,000 kids in kindergarten through 12th grade out of class. >> throughout our broadcast we're sharing the newest numbers and critical information on the outbreak. let's get to our lead national correspondent david begnaud. >> we're learning there's a hotel in spain where tourists caught it from a tour guide who tested positive but they didn't have any symptoms. here in the u.s. tony, there are more than 1330 cases. t new york state is imposing what it calls a containment area around the coronavirus cluster in new rochelle.
8:03 am
there are no public gatherings that will be allowed in that zone which covers about a three square mile area. at least 108 cases are confirmed in the area. let me take you to california. officials expect to finish removing the passengers from the grand princess cruise ship where 21 cases were detected. most of them are being sent to u.s. military bases for quarantine. that includes a north dakota woman we told you about yesterday. we have an update to her story. kari is battling cancer and missed an appointment yesterday, said the chief health officer said she can come home. they will quarantine her there so she can receive her treatment. she doesn't know how she'll get to north dakota and who will give her permission to leave the base. >> my state officials have been working tirelessly, and i do
8:04 am
believe they are. it's just been really confusing what needs to be done, and how it needs to be handled. between the pain and the anxiety, it's just been a little much. and again, i'm not trying to say that i'm the only story in here. i'll bet you could go down the hallway and i could find some pretty tough stories. >> that's okay. your story matters. your story matters. >> thank you. >> kari has not been tested for the virus and she doesn't have any symptoms. that's the good news. we've heard from other people who say i want to go home, but i can't get an official to give me the clear information about what i can do and when i can do it. >> yeah. that's the problem. confusion there. david, thank you. confusion also about coronavirus testing is widespread across this country. california with a population of about 40 million has 18 labs processing test kits. the state has tested just over 1,000 people and confirmed 159
8:05 am
cases. david agis is in los angeles. >> good morning. >> health and human services secretary alex azar just told us there is no barrier for doctors to get test they need for patients. what's been your experience? >> well, let's be clear. he said there's no barrier for a public health official to have a patient tested. there are barriers for doctors across the country to get patients tested. i've seen it, and i'm getting calls. both from governors and from doctors across the country. some states it's easy, some it's hard. there is not an ability to get tested on a same-day basis across the country at the present time. >> what impact has the delay in available testing had on how we contain and mitigate this virus? >> you know, a patient last night they called me, the ceo called and said they just tested my employee and it's going to be five days until i get a result back. how do you do a containment when it takes days to know the answer of what's going on?
8:06 am
and so there was a piece in the new york times yesterday in seattle they started testing people but the government said your test isn't approved. you can't do it. it delays quarantining people or keeping people contained and it enabled some of the spread that happened in seattle. >> what are you telling people about when they should get tested? >> right now i say if you have mild symptoms, stay home and self-quarantine. the system can't handle large numbers and tests and i don't want people waiting in ers and hospitals. so limit the testing now. the testing is readily and easily available. >> the administration says that millions of tests will with sent out by the end of the week. what happens when folks get them? i mean, who should be tested, and how should they be distributed? >> realize what a test is. it's looking for 100 of the 30,000 letters in the virus. two gene in the virus. the government is sending out the template for the letters.
8:07 am
the problem is all the other reagents which is to take the rna out of the virus, it was announced yesterday. that reagent is short in the country. so even though the government is sending out tests, we're this say cbs news special report. i'm tony doukoupil in new york. harvey weinstein convicted to 23 years in prison for a pair of attacks on two different women. nicky batiste, what can you tell us about what happened in the courtroom? this is the upper range. >> reporter: this is a harsh sentence and harvey weinstein addressed the judge and the
8:08 am
court and said he felt remorse but didn't seem to matter. at the end of the sentence with his current age at 67, it would make him 90 years old before he could walk free. again, the six women who testified against him in this trial sat together in the front of the courtroom in an incredible symbol of solidarity. from here, harvey weinstein will be taken to riker's island in new york, until the new york department of corrections assigns him to a state prison. there he will receive a medical evaluation. remember remember he had back surgery and just received a stent in his heart. they'll decide whether he serves his time in a medical wing in isolation or population. he faces another trial in los angeles, two charges that could end up with 28 years there. he would be taken to l.a. and kept in a jail during that trial. regardless of whether or not he would be acquitted or convicted in los angeles, he would ultimately come back here to new york and serve out this sentence first.
8:09 am
remember, this all started back in october 2017, and really cke. since then, more than 90 women have come forward and accused harvey weinstein of sexual assault, harassment and rape. today sun doubtedly an incredibly emotional day. as one of the women who testified in the trial said today, harvey weinstein's prison sentence can never is just a start. >> jessica mann, the victim in the rape charge that harvey weinstein was convicted of said rape is forever but also said "today i have no shame. i have found my voice." she speaks for many of the 90 victims and alleged victims in this case. i know harvey weinstein's legal team has said they will appeal, so we'll be following this case as it continues. nikki, our thanks to you. our coverage will continue on our 24-hour streaming network cbs and watch it at

the coronavirus outbreak could cost airlines around the globe more than $100 billion in revenue. jet blue is scrambling to respond despite a rebound yesterday, the shares dropped more than 20% since the first confirmed u.s. case of coronavirus in january. jet blue cut domestic flights because of a decline in passengers and promised to increase how often it cleans and sanitizes airplanes. it activated a special response team to monitor the situation in realtime. and we are joined now by robin hayes, jet blue's ceo. >> good morning. it's lovely to be here. >> challenging time. >> right. right. >> yes, it is. i mean, this is sort of an event in the airline industry we only tend to see about once every ten years. >> i was going to say people are worried about getting on an airplane. i think they'd like to know what are you doing to protect passengers who do get on an airplane. >> i appreciate the opportunity to explain that. we really want people to think
8:19 am
of flying as as safe as everything else you do in your life, going out, going to the grocery store. we've done a number of things. first, we are deep cleaning and sanitizing and disinfecting our airplanes every night. in addition, we have wipes on board. customers can come on and wipe down their seat if they want to sort of take additional precautions. there's also a lot of questions about the air on the airplanes. and i want to sort of dispel a few myths about that. so the way the air works is it tends to come in the top of the airplane and comes down and out of the bottom. air is recycled on average every three minutes in the cabin, and we use what's called hep a filters. they are mechanical filters that capture particles in the cabin really to 99.99% efficiency. so the air is very high quality.
8:20 am
the air is better than most places you would spend every day. so all of those measures are i think helping us. but -- and my other suggestion is you're not feeling well and you can delay your trip. delay your trip. don't put people around you in a sort of difficult situation. >> how much of a hit have you taken in this crisis in terms of traffic? how badly has traffic been impacted? >> it's been devastating. our january and february were really good. we started to see the impact around february 25th. you know, in the u.s. industry, we saw about a 30% drop off in traffic around 9/11. this is probably even worse than that. >> worse than 9/11? >> what we're seeing in terms of demand. >> so what is jet blue's protocol? someone flies jet blue. they are infected. what do you do? >> well, first of all, you know, thankfully we haven't seen very much of this across the airline industry yet. but there is a protocol.
8:21 am
first, we would get notified by the cdc or state health officials. clearly then we would notify customers traveling around that customer while the authorities will notify our crew. and then the airplane will immediately get pulled out of service for another deep clean. although, again, we're doing that every night right now. >> you and other airline exec tifrs met with the president and vice president last week? >> yes. >> are you satisfied with what the administration is doing? >> we have one urgent administration. it cost them nothing. the ask. for airlines that fly into c congested airplanes, we have slo slots there's a rule you have to fly them a certain amount of time per season or you lose them. no one wants to lose the slots. we saw this issue in europe. airlines were flying on empty planes. crazy for the environment as
8:22 am
well. and that situation is going to happen here in the u.s.? . >> you're being compelled to fly empty planes? >> if the government doesn't act. the request has been in for nearly two weeks. i'm confidence they'll act, but that would help the u.s. airlines. on safety u.s. airlines don't compete. we're in this together, and we all want to make sure that we are taking care of our customers through this time when there's so much fear and concern out there. >> all right. robin hayes, thank you very much for being with us. many teenagers admit to using social media almost constantly. ahead, how this affects the me health of kids and what parents need to know. you're watching "cbs this morning".

8:31 am
developer and we took a tour of the edge while it was under construction. what i will say, it's amazing about this. we love the empire state building too, but when you're on that deck, you're so high you're looking down on the top of the empire state building. you're more than 1,000 feet in the air. >> and do you feel the vertigo? >> you feel it, and there's a portion with a clear floor so you're looking straight down. and they're win dexing that thing. it's clear. >> it even registered on camera. >> if you're not afraid of heights, i recommend it. >> i see it downtown sticking out like that. very cool. if you ever wanted to own your own original picasso, one is being raffled off. the painting is worth about $2.9 million. the price of a raffle ticket, $113. the money from that raffle will go to a charity that brings clean water to communities in
8:32 am
africa. we should note that back in 2013 a 25-year-old project manager from pennsylvania won the prize. $5.6 million was raised then. it all went to charity. it's a good cause. >> it's a little more than a raffle ticket, but it's a good cause snmpl. >> and you can buy it up until march 30th. >> cool. >> i should put my money in. what do you think? >> it would be nice to have a picasso on the wall. >> you'd come visit it? >> sure would. i'd come visit anyway. all right. here's my story. five walk-on players for the university of miami got the surprise of a lifetime. their coach made a big announcement last week. take a look. >> we talk about behavior now, n common. what they have in common is they come here every day and put the work in. okay? wondering if one day they'll have a chance to go on scholarship and guess what, today is that day. >> look at the reaction. i love the reaction.
8:33 am
they were embraced by their teammates. those five players were walk-ones. they weren't awarded athletic scholarship. they were part of the team without being recruited or anything like that. some of them called their families right away. sometimes this happens at the end of spring, the surprise was it happened then. >> every parent dreams of this happening. surprise scholarship. >> yeah. college paid for. they're putting in 40 hours, 50 hours after practice and game time. >> and they often don't get a lot of playing time. >> zero a lot of times. >> and i love that announcement. as they say -- >> i love the way the team supported them. >> just great. right? >> beautiful. >> former vice president joe biden won big in democratic contests last night all across the country. he took michigan by double digits and biden also won missouri, mississippi and idaho. bernie sanders won north dakota, washington too close to call right now. but biden maintains a large delegate lead. that makes for a difficult road ahead for the sanders campaign on instagram. a leading sanders supporter,

congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez said there's no sugar coating it. it's a tough night. cbs news political contributors robby mook and terry sullivan are here with more. welcome to you both again. robby, michigan was critical for you four years ago. you remember it painfully, i'm sure. bernie sanders won michigan four years ago. what does this say that he lost so big this time around? >> yeah. look, it's a big symbolic loss for him. it was a big symbolic win last time. last time he only won by a point. i was concerned for him that expectations were set really high. you know, he's been underperforming 2016. he had to overperform there. he has made two statements continuously throughout this campaign. i'm going to win white working class voters and i'm going to have big turnout that transforms
8:35 am
the electorate. we haven't seen it and we saw his support correlated with lower support. and michigan was a blow to the white working class. >> a lot of people are wowed by this comeback by biden. what's behind the turn around? >> you know, and we talked about this after super tuesday. you had buttigieg and klobuchar and beto o'roarke come out before super tuesday. they brought out the biggest bag signal they could and said this is the winner and democrats are starved to win this contest. >> i wouldn't underestimate his campaign. his campaign staff has take an lot of heat by members of supporters of the vice president. but they've done a good job. i mean, they're not here on accident. this is not luck. and happenstance. they ran a good campaign. it paid off. >> and just quickly, biden was polling ahead in all the states for a long time. there was a rough patch. in some ways it returned to the norm. >> biden picked up a key endorsement from a mayor in a county that trump won after obama had won it twice. you had an obama to trump now
8:36 am
back to the democrats. could we see more of that? >> i think you're going to see it going both directions. i think you're going to see republicans endorsing democrats and vice versa. >> really? >> i do. >> that's pop topsy turvy. >> that's the plit value environme -- political environment. it's about do you like this person? can you identify with them? we see people switching to biden. it's about personality and who they like and don't like. >> after the results how tough is the math for bernie sanders? is this race effectively over? >> it's tough, i believe in two ways. the delegate lead is over 100. once you're into triple digits, it's basically impossible to catch up. the next contest on the 17th, i think is going to be hard. these are states hillary won. these are states i don't see any reason why he's going to pull ahead. i think the decision is soldier on and potentially face --
8:37 am
>> what do you think he'll do? >> i don't know. i also don't think as democrats we need to just apply a ton of pressure. it's march. there's some time. i do think biden -- he has to welcome, and i would say all candidate supporters. right? i think we shouldn't just talk about bernie supporters. we should talk about elizabeth warren supporters as well. but there time, and i think the most important thing is to back off and let bernie work. >> that's a sign for democrats. that this is over? when robby says there's time, there's no need to force him out. that means he's a zombie candidate. it's over for him functionally, whether he knows it or not. >> terry, the stock market took a dive a couple days ago. how might this effect the president's reelection efforts? >> there is not a good thing for donald trump. and largely due to the coronavirus. this is the unforeseeable that he's having to deal with, and he's gotten mixed reviews at
8:38 am
best. >> not only with how he's dealing with the economy, but with the coronavirus itself. >> i think those are so intertwined. nothing is fundamentally shifted in the economy over the last week other than the coronavirus. >> right. >> he's defied political conventions before. is the coronavirus categorically different from the many things he's ducked before? >> i don't know. and anybody who tells you they know is lying. who knows? look, the reports of his death have been premature a few times before and everyone says this is the straw in the camel's back. maybe it is. maybe it isn't. >> robby, biden and sanders cancelled rallies. president trump did not. >> i think this is really interesting. donald trump feeds off the rallies. those are how he came to become the nominee of the republican party. and then the president, he feeds off those more than anything
8:39 am
else. if they take away the rallies from him, it's going to be interesting what that does the herchand candidacy. >> at what point will it? will someone stop and say this isn't healthy? >> i don't know. i don't know if -- >> he is the president. >> he is the president. >> people have tried to tell him -- >> 73 years old. >> i was going to say 73-year-old billionaires generally don't change their minds. something i've figured out. and people have tried to tell donald trump to stop doing stuff before and it hasn't gone well for them. >> bernie sanders has been saying the political establishment is the reason why joe biden is rising and he is not. you are our representative of the establish here as a former campaign manager for hillary clinton. what's your reaction? >> look, i think -- a lot of rhetoric is swung around both ways on this campaign. i think at some point the voters are just speaking. right? it's just rank and file voters. and people in the so-called establishment, dh which i think is a bit of a mirage, might be
8:40 am
favoring biden over bernie, but you have to look at the votes. another thing i looked at last night with impact for the general election, the huge turnout in the suburbs. it went strong for hillary. they were the reason we won back the house. the turnout surge we're seeing in the areas is massive. and i think the question for trump is going to be can he counter act that with turnout in rural areas. >> good to see you both. see you again soon. >> thank you. ahead some surprising findings about how technology effects the mental health of teenagers. lisa damour is in our green room. why a recent

8:44 am
technology's a huge, can we say huge -- >> huge -- >> huge of ever district attorney -- of life for teenagers. 13 to 17-year-olds have access to a smartphone and 40% of adolescents use yabs like youtube, instagram, snapchat, and facebook almost constantly. there's a link between their social and mental health and how they spend time on line. psychologist and cbs news contributor lisa damour is here. i got that wrong, didn't i? >> you got it.
8:45 am
>> yep. >> you got it. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> so here's the question -- what is the link between mental health and these -- these devices? >> so we have this new study that has a pretty interesting finding in it which is that it sigs suggests that it's more about the quality of time they're spending on line than the quantity. so what they did, they had 700 middle schoolers, and they men good social connections, low anxiety, depression, low mental health, high group in the middle. and the surprising finding is that the kids who it great mental health and lower mental health were spending the same time on line. >> how do you define quality on line? >> the first thing, it's easy for grown-ups to be, the problem is with kids, their noses are in their phones. this calls that question. they're saying, look, kids can spend quite a bit of time on line and it doesn't necessarily
8:46 am
correlate with poor mental health. we're interested in what they are doing. what we see is what kids are doing in real life tends to be reflected on line if their social behavior. by quality on line, what we want to see is kids have good relationships in real life and get on line and deepen friendships. >> if it's about quality -- >> yeah -- >> not about quantity, as a parent, does that mean -- >> it's a free-for-all -- >> a limit -- >> no, it is not a free-for-all. here is my view on social media. it's not necessarily good or bad. it's a tool. can be a benefit or a harm. but all digital technology for kids and also for us should not get in the way of our ability to get a good night's sleep. for kids it should not get in their way of the ability to focus on their homework and get it done. it shouldn't get in the way of interpersonal real-life interactions. >> are there interactions different? online versus face to face? >> what we really see it's a
8:47 am
mirror. if you get along well in real life, you tend to have a lot of fun with your friends on line. life, you get on line, and you're not connected to people you know in real life, you have kind of low-quality relationships, or there's drama is happening in real life. >> this is interesting because as a parent you're trying to keep track of what your kids are doing. it's difficult when they're on line. >> yes. >> you can't see is and you don't know what's going on. what you're saying is you should be looking at their relationships out in real life and hope that that's being reflected. >> or worry that it's being reflected, right? if things are going well, you have reasons to relax. if you feel like, gosh, my kid's struggling to make meaningful connections and you're aware that when they're on line they're talking to people they don't know that well, there's bullying or victimization going on, that's grounds for concern. >> how do you know when that's happening? >> i think, one is you take a cue from what's happening in real life. the other, watch your kid's
8:48 am
mood. if being on line is not making them feel better, we should take that seriously. it's hard to engineer kids' social lives. but social connections at all points of life and especially in adolescents are critically important. if your kid's struggling, i would take steps. i would talk to grown-ups at school and ask what's in the way. i wouldn't think, oh, all kids have online drama. that's not true. >> if there is a problem and as a parent you have to have that conversation, how do you shoulder tap your teenager and say i want to talk about your tech use? >> the conversation they don't want to have. you said, i'm feeling worried. i know that you like getting on line, but i'm not sure it's making your life better. another line i love saying to kids is, hey, i think what you're doing isn't working. and that's a pretty direct way to say "i see what you're doing, and it's not working, we need to take a closer look." >> wow. >> makes sense. lisa damour, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, journalist gordon corera talks about his book "russians among us: sleeper

cells, ghost stories, and the hunt for putin's spies." a great book. before we go, how an 8-yearht back. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i was relentless first. relentless about learning the first song we ever danced to. about teaching him to put others first. about helping her raise her first child. and when i was first diagnosed, my choice was everyday verzenio. it' of its kind that can be taken every day.
8:50 am
it gives us more time without cancer progressing. verzenio is the only cdk4 & 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign of diarrhea, call your doctor, start an anti-diarrheal, and drink fluids. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. life-threatening inflammation of the lungs can occur. talk to your doctor if you have new or worsening trouble breathing, cough, or chest pain. serious liver problems can happen. symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. blood clots that can lead to death have occurred. tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant or nursing. my relentless reason: it's them. my choice with my doctor: it's verzenio. ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment.
