7:03 am
who will nod off first?th. ple yourets now. welcome to "cbs this morning" from washington. the coronavirus pandemic is starting to affect all aspects of american life, and that includes us here at cbs. cbs news has two known cases of coronavirus so we have closed our new york broadcast center to clean and disinfect the premises. like a lot of folks, we're not exactly working from home but from another home here in washington, at our bureau. and there is plenty of breaking news. let's get right to it. beginning with an oval office announcement to the nation and reaching across the atlantic ocean. >> in a dramatic move to stop the spread of the coronavirus, president trump has ordered an extensive travel ban. >> we will be suspending all
7:04 am
travel from europe to the united states for the next 30 days. ew fday n r at midnight. these restrictions will be adjusted subject to conditions on the ground. >> the state department also issued an alert last night urging americans to reconsider any international travel plans. paula reid is at the white house for us. good morning. the reactions are coming in overnight. what are they? >> good morning, tony. the president's goal was to calm the markets and calm americans. but investors were underwhelmed. u.s. stock futures tumbled as the president concluded his speech. and democrats criticized the president for not addressing the lack of testing kids. but a top white house adviser just responded to this criticism and told me the president signaled he is taking decisive actions for the american people based on sound science and that we'll see more of this in the coming days. >> we made a life-saving move with early action on china. now we must take the same action
7:05 am
with europe. >> in one of his most sweeping measures to combat coronavirus, president trump announced temporary travel restrictions on foreign nationals from several european countries and laid blame on the eu for not doing more to stem the spread of the virus. >> the european union failed to take the same precautions and restrict travel from china and other hot spots. as a result, a large number of new clusters in the united states were seeded by travelers from europe. >> reporter: the president said restrictions do not apply to the united kingdom or ireland and will have some exceptions for american travelers. but didn't offer specifics. some democrats immediately expressed skepticism. >> it applies to countries where there's less of a problem in europe, but not where there's more of a problem elsewhere like in south korea. >> reporter: the president also laid out a series of steps intended to blunt the economic impact of the virus, including low-interest loans for small businesses, deferred tax payments and a proposed payroll
7:06 am
tax cut. >> my fellow americans. >> reporter: president trump's address marked a notable shift in tone from just one day earlier when he emerged from a meeting with senate republicans to downplay public fears. >> it will go away. just stay home. >> reporter: but the national institutes of health dr. anthony fauci offered a grim prediction warning of more cases to come. >> we've got to assume it's going to get worse and worse and worse. >> reporter: the president has said for days he would not cancel his upcoming campaign events, but last night, the white house said it would be canceling upcoming events in colorado, nevada and wisconsin where the president would have been part of large public gatherings. the white house said they're doing this out of an abundance of caution. >> caution is the word of the day. paula, thank you. the president's announcementy isannouncement y is severely rattled investors. the travel restrictions for europe also caught u.s. airlines by response.
7:07 am
kris van cleave is at reagan international airport outside washington, d.c. a lot of confusion overnight about what this order meant. what happened and what does it mean for american travavelers? >> well, good morning. there was confusion because initially it sounded like the president had banned all travel of people and goods from europe to the u.s. that caught even members of his own administration and the airlines off guard. there was then an effort overnight to clarify what had an said first by the department of homeland security and then for the white house. for american travelers, americans will still be allowed to travel to and from europe. they will be allowed to come into the country but they will be subject to health screenings, likely be funneled to 11 airports currently doing those screenings for other coronavirus hot spots. here, anyone who is a resident of the countries in europe, that is not a u.s. citizen, will not be allowed to come into the u.s. for the next 30 days at least.
7:08 am
now that does not apply to u.s. citizens, as we said. but there was a lot of confusion about that point. anthony? >> kris, the head of jetblue who was with us yesterday said that even before these restrictions, kris, the impact was already worse than 9/11. so what are these restrictions going to do for the airlines? >> yeah, that was a telling statement from robin hayes yesterday on "cbs this morning." the airlines are worried. this is not good for their bottom line. already global airlines are facing an estimated $100 plus billion in losses from the coronavirus. u.s. airlines are now scrambling to figure out what this means for their transatlantic service. that's usually a profit center. we've seen demand plummet on u.s. airlines. already one european carrier has gone out of business. and if we're talking about an impact similar to what the 9/11 attacks did to the airline business, that pushed several u.s. airlines into bankruptcy. this is not good news. just last night, tblue flight
7:09 am
from jfk to palm beach had a passenger who tested positive for coronavirus. that was yet another scare for flyers. in that case taken to an isolated part of the palm beach airport. that passenger was removed. the people on board are now being asked to self-monitor. anthony? >> thanks, kris. the world health organization is pushing governments to take strong action after officially declaring the outbreak to be a pandemic yesterday. there are more than 126,000 cases worldwide. restrictions in italy, the hardest hit european country, are now tighter than ever. elizabeth palmer is in london with europe's response to the u.s. travel ban. >> good morning. european leaders are clearly shocked by president trump's travel announcements. and they are very worried now about the economic fallout. meanwhile, at a global level, health leaders are concerned that some governments, and they wouldn't name names, aren't
7:10 am
taking this pandemic seriously enough. the world health organization read what amounts to the riot act to governments still doing little or nothing to slow coronavirus down. >> we're deeply concerned both by the alarming levels of spread and severity and by the alarming levels of inaction. >> reporter: italy, where streets and shops are eerily quiet has the highest number of cases in europe. more than 12,000 with 827 deaths. the vast majority elderly people. the government has closed shops, bars and restaurants and imposed travel restrictions. banks, food stores and pharmacies are open, though, as well as businesses where people can stay at least a yard apart. in the middle east, iran is worst hit. alarmed citizens say the official response was too little and far too late. many believe the government is
7:11 am
hiding the true scale of the outbreak. meanwhile, a vice president and two cabinet ministers have tested positive and one mp has died. but there are signs of hope. this morning, china reported a record low just 15 new cases. these nurses are celebrating the closing of one of wuhan's makeshift hospitals after the last coronavirus patient was discharged. here in the uk, there are now more than 450 confirmed cases. the government's crisis team called cobra is meeting this afternoon to decide what to do next to slow down the rate of infection. measures could include closing some schools perhaps or limiting big public gatherings. tony? >> liz palmer in london, thank you. now to a story that caught a lot of people's attention after tom hankss says he and his wife rita wilson have the coronavirus. hanks was working on a film in australia. he now says he and wilson will stay in isolation for as long as
7:12 am
public health and safe requires. >> he shared the news on twitter with a picture of what looks like a glove in a trash can. he said they both felt tired and had body aches. joining us now from los angeles is dr. david agus. good morning. so the tom hanks news made a lot of people sit up straight and say, he's in australia but he's an american, this is a global virus right now. this is now a pandemic as the world health organization declared. that word scares a lot of people. what does it mean, and does it change anything about the global response? >> no question. the world's friend tom hanks has this virus. a pandemic means it's all over and it's sustained. the world health organization is the one organization that can make that declaration. and it made that declaration. we all knew it was coming. it was not an if but a when. it doesn't really change how we approach it.
7:13 am
but i think it makes and underscores the severity of what we're seeing now and pushes all countries to act aggressively. they claim they did this because not all countries were acting as aggressively as they should have. >> dr. anthony fauci appeared to be leveling with the american people yesterday in testimony to congress saying this could get worse and worse. millions could be infected. what should people know about their own risks and the need to self-quarantine if they come down with something? >> i don't think it could get worse. i think it will get worse, and i think we'll see significant infections in this country. it's going to be manageable. we're all going to do fine, and we have to self-quarantine. the more we can keep the infections down and slow the rate of spread, the better we'll be able to handle it as a country and the fewer casualties from this. if you have any symptoms if you have a fever, a cough, a runny nose, you need to stay home. and you need to stay home 48 hours after those symptoms abate. until that point.
7:14 am
and the same thing with anybody that's been exposed to you. if you are family, you should all stay home. we'll be in this together. we're one community, and together we'll come through this. >> dr. agus, the coronavirus is now past its peak in terms of the number of new infections. what does this tell us about how they have combated the disease there? >> if you look at what china did, what south korea is doing, when you take aggressive actions, and the country works as a whole, you get good results. and we know how to fight these viral infections. and it requires doing things not positive to people. people are not happy that we've canceled the rest of the nba season or suspended it. kids are being sent home from college. schools are closing. people are working from home. this is a drastic change in our lives but these are methodologies that work. when we social distance, that is, we're not all together in one place, the virus stops spreading. and so all of these are
7:15 am
mechanisms to social distance. >> david, is the president's ban on all travel from the european union is that a necessary measure to combat this? >> it's aggressive. you know, certainly when we look at what's going on now in the country, it is not, you know, eu or european union spread here to the united states. it's spread within. it's spreading from person to person within the united states. so i think it's an aggressive stand, really, showing, hey, i'm going to do something and stand up here. and we'll see how long that lasts. i don't think that itself is going to stop the spread here in the united states. >> dr. david agus, thank you. we'll see you later in our 8:00 hour. breaking overnight, the nba made the stunning decision to suspend the season indefinitely because of the coronavirus. the announcement came after a player on the utah jazz tested positive for the virus. players were on the court for warm-ups in oklahoma city last night when word came down. my cbs this morning saturday
7:16 am
co-host dana jacobson is at new york's madison square garden, home of the knicks. dana y did the league take such drastic action? >> many people are saying they had no choice. actually, the utah jazz were here at madison square garden just a week ago to take on the knicks who are now one of a handful of teams concerned about which of their players may have been exposed. there are still 259 games. that's about one-fifth of the nba season left to be played. not to mention the postseason. no one knows when or if those games will resume. >> the teams heading back to the locker room. >> reporter: just before tip-off in oklahoma city's packed chesapeake energy arena, referees huddled on the court as players were told to return to their locker rooms. >> the game tonight has been postponed. >> reporter: shocking news for the nba. utah jazz center rudy gobert tested positive. just three days ago he jokingly grabbed microphones at a press
7:17 am
conference poking fun at the nba media policies which required reporters to stay six feet away from players. shortly after the game was canceled, the nba announced the suspension of the season. the last of the six games played wednesday night, new orleans at sacramento, was also called off. dallas mavericks owner was caught on camera when he saw the news. he later voiced his concerns for his whole family, his players and even his part-time arena staff. >> they get paid by the hour. this was their source of income. >> reporter: earlier wednesday, the ncaa announced an unprecedented decision to only allow essential staff and limited family members to attend march madness games. we asked scott drew about the mere idea of playing in empty arenas last week. >> march mad sentence maness ise of the excitement and fans going to see upsets. if we didn't have that, that would be completely different than what we're all used to. >> all of the major conference
7:18 am
tournaments going on right now have been closed to the general public. that includes the big east which will resume later today at madison square garden. as for the jazz, rudy gobert was not at the arena last night. his teammates were tested coronavirus, and they are expecting those results later today. >> dana, will the nba's move put pressure on other sports to do the very same thing? >> well, ifou can believe any of the sports radio talk and sports news talk on television, certainly. we've got major league baseball which gets under way later this month. and they have six teams between california and washington that need to consider their home games. and that means that they may be moving them. seattle already saying they'll move their first two home series. the nhl is considering what they should do in consulting with medical personnel. and then when you have the ncaa, they have to look at all of the sports leagues right now. >> dana, thank you very much. when you think about the economic impact you have all the

morning" from washington. i'm anthony mason with tony dokoupil and michelle miller. gayle king is off. the coronavirus is growing. more than 1,300 people are known to be sick from the virus in the u.s. 39 have died. there are more than 127,000 cases, and 4,700 dead worldwide. all but eight of america's deaths have been in washington state where officials are now taking drastic steps to stop the spread. jonathan vigliotti is in seattle. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. governor insley saying there is no silver bullet to kill this virus, but he hopes his measures will help save lives.
7:31 am
effective immediately, all gatherings over 250 people have been banned. schools like the one behind me also impacted. take a listen. >> public, leisure, faith based or spoing events, parades, concer concerts, festivals, conventions, fundraisers, and similar activities of that dimension are prohibited as we go forward. >> reporter: and shortly after that announcement was made, seattle public schools announced they were canceling all 114 schools. 53,000 students are impacted. and what's happening here in washington, having a ripple effect south in oregon. officials last night making a similar ban of groups over 250 people. here in washington state, this has been the epicenter as officials have struggled to contain this virus. there are now 31 known coronavirus deaths and more than 365 confirmed cases. hardest hit are nursing homes. 23 of those deaths linked to the life care facility where we have
7:32 am
been reporting from in kirkland for the past two weeks. we can now report everyone has been tested. 63 people have tested positive. the national guard is being brought in here to the state to help with medical supplies. the governor warning that this ban could extend through april, and to give some sconce text, nearly four million people are impacted by the ban. back to you. >> all right. thank you so much. last night president trump blamed the european union for not doing enough to stop the spread of the coronavirus. he announced a 30-day travel ban on most europeans traveling to the united states. here's part of what he had to say in just his second national address from the oval office. >> taking early, intense action we have seen dramatically fewer cases of the supervisor in the united states -- of the virus in the united states than are present in europe. the virus will not have a chance against us. no nation is more prepared or more resilient than the united states. cornt we're joined by chief
7:33 am
etmajor, good morning. you made the point last night after the president's address that the coronavirus can't be tweeted away, it can't be talked away. so we saw a new look from the president. did he succeed in reassuring americans? >> the american people will decide whether or not they were reassured. you heard paula reid say the white house is about decisive action, is that going to reduce the number of cases? no. every public official said we're going to have more cases in this country. and we have communities spread already. the reviews on this travel ban are mixed to put it charitably. what is most important about trying to reassure the public is did the president actually speak what he was supposed to say? no, he didn't. he misspoke about goods and people, then the white house and the department homeland security were in a rough position trying to explain after the oval office address. if you were trying to reassure a nervous public, don't misspeak when you are trying to reassure them. point one. one other thing i was to talk
7:34 am
about here. understand this -- this white house does not have a functioning chief of staff right now. mick mulvaney is out, he's helping with the transition, mark meadows, to come in, has been self-quarantined with coronavirus this week. mick mulvaney's had a sinus infection, but he's been out of these things are essential to putting together a coherent message and a reassuring strategy spoken by the president. he is not surrounded by the kind of people he ordinarily would be at a moment where the country might lean on that more. >> the president said the government is moving quickly to expand testing capabilities. we're hearing from doctors it's still difficult to get tests. the governor of new york said we can't rely on the cdc or the fda to test. they're a bottleneck for us. so there's a disconnect here. >> this feeds on the sense of anxiety the public has. when alex azar was on yesterday and said every public health official can give a test if they want to, a public health official is not a doctor.
7:35 am
as david agus explained. that is a big disconnect. when you're not connecting the most credible, family actually information to the public, knows what to believe and how to be, back to that word, reassured about what to believe you leave gaps. what fills in gaps -- anxiety, fear, tension. >> the president also called this a foreign virus. what has he accomplished by making this an outsider's problem? >> it is kind of a -- an america-first rhetorical flourish that has nothing to do with public health, safety, or public health communication. this is a virus that's going to spread. and when you saw on capitol hill yesterday various modeling about how much this could spreads, millions of cases, we don't know how many deaths because we don't know, all of these are uncertain. i was expecting in the president's address to say, you know, there's uncertainty, i know you're concerned, but here's what we know, and here's where we're heading. there was very little of this. the european travel ban may or may not work. hard to explain. hard to implement. but in the reality of community
7:36 am
spread and governors and mayors and county-level officials having to be on the front lines. i was expecting the president to praise them more, talk to -- talk to the country more about how they're your first line of defense, and this level of cooperation between the federal government and local and state governments. that's still the missing component in the president's rhetoric. >> yeah. a time to take partisanship and put it to the side. >> his best friends happen to be democratic governors in washington, new york, and california because they are totally on the front lines. >> one of whom he called a snake unfortunately. all right. thank you so much. a reassuring presence in our midst. we appreciate that. >> kind of you to say so. harvey weinstein spoke at length for the first time in court before being sentenced to 23 years in prison. ahead, how the disgraced movie mogul faces another legal fight in california. we'll be right back.

this morning, convicted rapist harvey weinstein is in bellevue hospital in new york hours after being sentenced to 23 years in prison. the 67-year-old was suffering from chest pain. a judge sentenced the disgraced movie mogul for rape, a criminal sex act in a case that prompted the rise of the me too movement. our national correspondent, jericka duncan has been following the case for more than two years. she's at the criminal courthouse in new york. what was it like in that courtroom? >> reporter: it was no doubt an emotional day. you had those six women who testified against harvey awaited to hear that sentence. they call themselves survivors, and they're among around 100 other women who have accused
7:42 am
harvey weinstein of sexual misconduct and harassment. harvey weinstein's 23-year prison sentence came weeks after the jury found him guilty of a criminal sex act and rape in the third degree. [ applause ] jessica mann and miriam hailey read impact statements in court. haley's weinstein's actions stripped her of her dignity as a human being and as a woman. mann said she is forced to carry that experience until she dies. throughout the six-week trial, weinstein stayed largely quiet, with the exception of pleading not guilty. on wednesday, weinstein spoke for 13 minutes, seated from his wheelchair. he told the judge he thought he had a serious friendship with haley and later expressed remorse. weinstein's defense attorney stood by weinstein after the ruling. >> harvey i think is very confused. i think he feels very sad. i think he believed he had relationships with women that were different than the way they
7:43 am

at panera, your cup is always full. there are growing concerns that the 2020 olympic games may be canceled because of the quickly spreading coronavirus. the olympic flame was lit this morning in olympia, greece. the iconic ceremony was closed to the public, though, because of the deadly virus. the tokyo games are just four months away at this point. and ramy inocencio reports from the new nashville stadium in tokyo where the opening ceremony is supposed to take place. >> reporter: the clock is ticking until tokyo hosts the 2020 summer games this july. olympic dreams and olympic-size investments could both fall victim to the coronavirus. fireworks in january heralded the return of the olympic rings to tokyo. now with just months left, the fear is the games won't even
7:49 am
begin. the new national stadium is meant to be the grand centerpiece and venue for the opening and closing ceremonies. now this stadium was rebuilt from the old national stadium at a cost of $1.4 billion. this was, in fact, the site of the 1964 tokyo olympics. it can hold about 68,000 people, but that may never happen. that's because mass gatherings around the world are getting canceled. air travel has also been hit hard with major u.s. airlines cutting flights to asia. the two airports that service tokyo, that's nareta as well as haneda right here, have invested so heavily into upgrades, up to two million tourists are expected to fly in for the olympics. now tokyo has to house all those visitors, and accommodations from hotels to airbnbs have already been booked at a premium. the famed okura tokyo hotel built in time for the 1964 games spent an estimated $1 billion
7:50 am
for a complete teardown and total rebuild just in time for the tokyo olympics. other major costs are sponsorships and broadcast rights. american companies shelled out about $1.25 billion for television ads, exclusive rights to the games cost a reported $1.4 billion. and if the games were canceled, the world's third-largest economy would take a hit. >> the probability of recession is very high. >> reporter: jesper koll has been tracking japan's economy for the past three decades. what would be the best case and worst case scenarios if the olympics were cancelled? >> look, first of all, if the olympics got canceled because the coronavirus is running out of control, trust me, we'll have bigger things to worry about than just the negative impact from the olympics. we'd be worrying about a global depression. >> reporter: in the economic sense of the word but also in the emotional. for the 15,000 olymp and paralympic athletes who are supposed to fly to japan this

8:01 am
of people and gods from europe to the u.s. that caught even members of his own administration and the airlines off guard. >> the world health organization is pushing governments to take strong action after officially declaring the outbreak to be a pandemic yesterday. health leaders are concerned that some governments and they wouldn't name names, aren't taking this pandemic seriously enough. >> this is now a pandemic as the world health organization declared. that word scares a lot of people. what does it mean and does it change anything about the global response? >> no question. i mean, the world's friend tom hanks has this virus. i mean, a pandemic means it's all over and sustained. >> after an historic drubing on the most important night of his campaign he had an important announcement to make. >> on sunday, i very much look forward to the debate in arizona with my friend joe biden. >> wait a second. so you held a press conference to announce you're not dropping? >> in conclusion, let me just say, and i mean this sincerely,
8:02 am
psych. >> welcome back. i think a lot of americans feel differently this morning and we're no different. we're at the bureau in the nation's capital at cbs news because of breaking news on the coronavirus that's affecting all of us at cbs. cbs news has two known cases of the virus. our new york center has been closed for disinfecting. president trump has taken a major step to try to stem the coronavirus. >> in an oval office address to the nation the president announced he's banning all travel from continental europe to the u.s. for 30 days beginning at midnight tonight. his tone in discussing the outbreak shifted since the virus emerged in china a few months ago. >> we're working strongly with china on the coronavirus that's a new thing that a lot of people are talking about.
8:03 am
re'sorha in apn gets warm, historically that has been able to kill the virus. so we don't know yet. we're not sure yet. >> you may ask about the coronavirus which is very well under control in our country. >> when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, i don't think it's inevitable. >> i think that we're doing a really good job. >> the testing has gone very well. when people need a test, they can get a test. >> this is the most aggressive and comprehensive effort to confront a foreign virus in modern history. we will significantly reduce the threat to our citizens, and we will ultimately and expeditiously defeat this virus. >> paula reid has covered the president's response to the crisis since it began. she's at the white house. paula, what's the reaction to last night's speech and that new tone? >> good morning, michelle. this address did little to calm nerves. the president has made a strong
8:04 am
economy central to his reelection and the recent downturn in the market prompted the white house to shift the coronavirus response to economic relief. but last night investors didn't really hear any evidence of that major relief promised by the administration. and futures trading fell after he announced a travel ban. but as for that ban, the president says it will not apply to the united kingdom or ireland. and this morning the vice president clarified saying there will not be any barrier to americans coming home. but they will be funneled to one of 13 u.s. airports running health screenings and will also be asked to self-quarantine. but as cbs news reported last week, some research suggests those checks will miss about two-thirds of the people with the virus. during his speech, the president also said goods coming into the u.s. would also be subject to the new restrictions, but he quickly walked that back now saying trade will not be
8:05 am
affected. democrats were quick to cite size the president were not addressing a lack of testing kits which has hampered the ability to test for the virus. this morning the white house is defending the president. a top adviser tells cbs news last night the president displayed strong leadership and we should expect to see more of that in the coming days. anthony? >> paula, thank you. vice president mike pence is in charge of the white house's coronavirus task force and he joins us from here in washington. mr. vice president, good morning. thanks for being with us. >> good morning, all. >> mr. vice president, the first -- as paula mentioned, i want to get to the travel ban to begin with. the first confirmed case of coronavirus in this country was back in january on the 21st. why have we waited so long for a travel ban? >> well, as you state, when the first case of coronavirus emerged in this country, it would be a little more than a week later that the president took the unprecedented step of suspending all travel from china
8:06 am
which was the originating country of this virus. we also established travel advisories and we've been screening passengers on all direct flights from south korea and italy. but with the epicenter of this epidemic now moving from china and south korea to europe, yesterday the president, again, took the unprecedented step of suspending all travel from europe for the next 30 days, and that in combination with our strong mitigation efforts in communities that are experiencing what our experts call community spread, areas of california, washington state, and new york, we're going to continue to put every effort at home and with regard to these travel restrictions in place to protect the health and safety of the american people. >> mr. vice president, the president last night said that europe has dramatically more
8:07 am
cases of coronavirus than the united states. however, how do we know that when we have not been testing widely? >> well, every state lab in america is able to conduct tests, and we have three particular jurisdictions that we're tracking community spread. we've been flowing testing resources into those areas, and we'll continue to do that. but make no mistake about it, all the new cases in the world, this week 70% of the new cases were in europe. and the increase has been dramatic. when the president imposed the travel advisory and we began screening all flights, all passengers coming into the united states from italy two weeks ago, there were roughly 500 coronavirus cases. now there's 12,000. about 1,000 in germany. about 1,000 in france. that's the reason why the president essentially said full stop we're going to suspend all
8:08 am
travel and that american citizens coming home and legal residents will be funneled through the 13 different airports. they'll get an initial health screening coming in. we're also going to ask everyone returning to our country to self-quarantine for 14 days. so testing is happening in every state lab in the country. many university hospitals have taken the fda test like the university of washington is doing a great job expanding testing capabilities. but the biggest piece on the testing is that our commercial labs that the president brought in last week, companies like quest and lab core have already had approved a new test that they several days ago have begun to take to market which they can do in a vast and expansive way across the country and literally in the days ahead we're going to continue to see the availability of tests at your local doctor ultimately at your local
8:09 am
pharmacy, continue to expand. >> mr. vice president, the governor of new york was, of course, dealing with a significant outbreak of cases and said there are two ways to reduce this. massive quarantines, massive testing, and he said we can't rely on the cdc or the fda, that they've become a bottle neck and testing is taking too long. >> i spoke with governor cuomo last night in connection with some guidance that cdc just issued to new york and washington state and california. we've put out very, very strong recommendations for social distancing, for large gatherings for schools and we're working in very close cooperation with the state of new york. and the governor and i have also talked about the fact that we are working for the high volume testing to be approved. the state lab in new york state is already able to do that as the governor and i discussed earlier this week, we're working to expand that to other state
8:10 am
labs. and the american people can be confident, we are going to continue to work in every way to clear out as the president said, any red tape, any barriers to testing that might have existed at the fda, and make it possible for state labs, university hospitals, as well as these commercial laboratories. i can't emphasize enough if you go to the website for the companies quest or lab core, you can already see they're providing resources, information, where health care providers can obtain tests and that will be expanding by the way. >> that's heartening news for many people, but to put this in context, china at this pointast the official count 7700. why are we so far behind? should we have begun this testing earlie if you don't test, you don't catch the milder cases, you can never contain this thing? >> i think it is an issue since
8:11 am
i was tapped to lead this effort two weeks ago by the president here at the white house, that we've put real focus on, and the fact is that every state laboratory in the country now for some time since the advent of the coronavirus in this country has been able to conduct their own coronavirus tests, but the truth is they are not required to report that testing to the cdc as you have to do in the case of many diseases. and so it's a voluntary reporting right now. we're working to -- we're working to adjust that so that we're getting the full information from every state lab. but anyone of the viewers this morning that might be concerned that they were exposed to the coronavirus or to someone who had it, or if they have symptoms, they can call their doctor. their doctor can contact their state lab, and they'll be able
8:12 am
to find out how they can obtain a test in all 50 states. tests are being conducted. and as i said, at the president's direction, we're working to expand that very broadly all across the country in cooperation with our incredible commercial laboratories. >> and the president has said that every american who wants to get tested can get tested, but that's simply not true from what we're hearing from our own medical contributors, health officials from new jersey told congress on tuesday that the state of about 9 million people has only received two test kits. so when will the states get these kits? >> well, i think what the president was referring to there was something that governor ins lee called to our attention about two weeks ago. that was that many health professionals interpreted cdc guidance to say that if you were only mildly symptomatic, a doctor would not have the
8:13 am
authority to recommend a coronavirus test. we changed that. cdc sent out very clear guidelines so that now if you call your doctor regardless of your symptoms, a doctor can order without hesitation a test. they can contact the state laboratory, and as i said, we're continuing to expand the availability and literally, we literally are going to expand to hundreds of thousands of more tests in the days and weeks ahead all across the country. but -- >> mr. vice president. >> the president's focus last night was to say we need to suspend all travel from europe because we do know now the epicenter of the coronavirus is europe, and that when we looked over the last 36 hours of the 35 states yesterday early in the day that had coronavirus cases, 30 of those actually could be tied to contacts with europe. so the president said full stop,
8:14 am
and on any travel incoming from europe, but we're also marrying that to all our mitigation efforts, particularly in the communities where we have community spread. i want to make sure every american can help by practicing common sense and good hygiene regardless of whether there's a coronavirus virus in your community. >> correct. that's a good note to end on. we have to leave it there. vice president, thank you. we hope to talk to you soon. ahead we'll talk to our doctor david agus with more on the spread of the virus and how with coast. as we had through the afternoon, all of us will see sunshine and daytime highs on the rise well above average. mid-60s in san francisco, mid- 70s san jose, upper 70s for fairfield and santa rosa.

you just heard vice president mike pence tell us that every state has the ability to conduct coronavirus tests. but reports say the test shortage is still a major obstacle to containing the virus. our dr. david agus joins us from los angeles once again. doctor, good morning. you heard what the vice president had to say. what's your response? >> well, couple things. one is having the ability to do tests and actually having -- doing the tests and having the
8:21 am
administrative ability to actually get people there, test them, give them results are separate things. the shocking thing to me is that overnight he could say no travel from europe, and it's going to stop as of midnight tonight. yet he still can't get the 50 states in the united states to give him the data on what testing has happened and what are the results of those tests. that just didn't seem right to me. >> dr. agus, we know now the nba has canceled its season -- not canceled, suspended the rest of its season. number of cities have canceled events. i know that you have helped to make some of those decisions. what goes into them? >> reporter: they're critical decisions. obviously it makes a lot of people unhappy because these are events that people have looked forward to for a long period of time. but you have to look at the infrastructure medical in the city. if there are more illnesses, can it handle it? are the hospitals full? are the emergency rooms full? what is the demographic of the city and how many numbers of cases are there? and what we're seeing now is that it's going more and more
8:22 am
across the board. you know, for a while it was the centers of high numbers of cases. it was seattle, it was the san francisco area, it was new york. and now we're seeing more and more literally across the country because we have toston the spread of the virus. >> is that -- >> reporter: let the public health message work. >> is that what you mean when you say you want to flatten the curve of spread of the virus? >> reporter: exactly. if the virus happens all at once, there's a big peak there, what's going to happen is our medical infrastructure is overwhelmed. and many deaths will happen that don't need to happen. if we can slow the onset of the virus, we can actually handle it with a medical infrastructure in the united states and the drugs that are in development now will hopefully happen. >> all right. clear, concise messaging, dr. david agus, thank you. we'll be right back.
8:25 am

are the talk of the washington, d.c., table this morning. this is where we pick a story we'd like to share with each other and all of you. tony's up first. >> i've got one of those stories where people at home and us here, we react to the news and say "how could that happen," and it turns out the people in the story are having the same thought. yesterday vlad was in new york, he told us how the u.s. women's national soccer team had staged a protest -- unified or equal pay. as part of that fight, i should say, they staged a protest before last night's game. they wore their jerseys inside out during the national anthem to hide the u.s. soccer federation crest but still show p ts.asntneql pay fight betweend that federation. earlier in the week, and this is what vlad had been talking about, the u.s. soc federation filed legal papers claiming, gets this, that the women have less skill and less demanding roles than the american male players. an effort to say they don't
8:31 am
deserve equal pay. everyone's reaction was like, how could you put that in writing? turns out that the president of the u.s. soccer federation, carlos coredeiro, had the same reaction. heap said, quotes on, behalf of u.s. soccer, i sincerely apologize for the offense and pain caused by the language in this week's court filing. our wnt players, women's national team players, are incredibly talented and work tirelessly and have demonstrated time and again from their olympic gold medals to their world cup titles that's they do so. so -- >> don't understand how that could get missed. or just roll by him. >> it's like he read it quickly in the back of a car and was like, yeah, go ahead and file that. but he's cleaning it up. notably stopping short of saying, okay, equal pay. >> i think the damage may be done. >> correct. >> certainly is. here's min- sent a text message and then immediately wished you'd taken it back? >> yeah. >> my gosh. and a tweet. >> yeah. a few things i'm sure. reply all. we're not talking email here. you e to with your i messages. apple is reportedly testing a
8:32 am
peach for imessage that would allow you to unsend text messages. the senders and recipient of the text will receive a notification that the message was taken back. and obviously this is apple, so you know, this is ipad to iphone, no androids here. >> yeah. >> there's no guarantee there is actually going to go to fruition. the testing is in the process. >> i think it will be very popularly received. >> yes. >> the fatal flaw is if you send a message and you take it back and then the person gets a message that you took it back, then it's kind of almost as bad. >> yeah. but wouldn't -- but wouldn't they have read it by then? it's supposed to erase the message, or an immediate -- >> what you want to walk away without anyone knowing you were there. >> there it is. >> i don't think that's going to be the option, though. >> you're turn. here's my story -- singer lady gaga has a little monster named after her. researchers have identified a new species of tree hopper bug. a graduate student at the

escred as havinglinois gaga. a bizarre appearance with crazy horns, and they love to sing by vibrating plant stems, which sounds cool. the tree hoppers are said to have a whacky and colorful fashion sense much like lady gaga. >> is this an honor? >> you have to ask lady gaga that question. you know, i don't know -- have a bug named after you. kind of cool, right? the student's name was brandon morris who discovered this bug was different from other tree hoppers and thought it was colorful and cool and decided to name it after lady gaga. >> yeah -- >> nice to be considered at least. houston's famous livestock show and rodeo is shut down this morning because of concerns about the coronavirus. the event was nine days into its 20-day run when it was canceled yesterday. it had already drawn more than a mvirs this past weekend, the rodeo was the setting for a memorable homecoming for texas native and
