7:04 am
we wake up to a new normal and life is slowly grinding to a halt and america's governments from coast to coast order new restrictions in the fight against the coronavirus. americans are buying all the food and supplies it can find getting ready to stay at home for a long time. business, travel and even family relationships all disrupted by the outbreak. cities from new york to los angeles are shutting down. schools, restaurants and large gatherings to stop the spread. the number of reported cases of the virus in the u.s. is now more than 3,700. but the actual total number could be higher. >> we expect to hear more from government officials at every level responding to the newest developments in this crisis. we begin our coverage of the new normal in america with mola lenghi at new york's grand central terminal. what are you seeing? >> good morning, tony. grand central station is typically one of the busiest stations, transit hubs in the country. of course, this is not a typical
7:05 am
monday morning. this is supposed to be the morning rush, but as you can see, not so much this morning. schools are closed. businesses are following suit, and more and more people are working from home, which is why grand central doesn't exactly look like grand central. a not so familiar site on bourbon street. late-night fun coming to a halt by new orleans police enforcing the city's new ban on large gatherings. but it's large gatherings converging on supermarkets across the country causing shelves to go empty and even hour-long waits at the stores. >> no more baby wipes, no more toilet paper or water. >> reporter: president trump urged calm after holding a call with major retail and grocery executi executives. >> you don't have to buy so much. take it easy. relax. >> reporter: services that millions of americans rely on are shutting down including restaurants, gyms and bars. other states are following similar measures, including washington state, massachusetts, ohio, illinois and new york. >> it is quite clear that this
7:06 am
crisis is growing intensely. >> after days of mounting pressure, new york city mayor bill de blasio announced the nation's largest public school system would close for at least a month, possibly the rest of the school year, impacting more than a million children. in california, governor gachb newsom is enacting aggressive measures to protect the state's most vulner annual. >> we're calling for the home isolation of all of those 65 years and older and those with chronic conditions. >> reporter: though much of the country is being told to distance themselves, doctors and nurses are on the front lines. an emergency doctor in kirkland, washington, is in critical condition after catching the virus. michael maron is president and ceo of holy name medical center in teaneck, new jersey, where all 40,000 residents have been asked to self-quarantine. >> part of what we're burning through it at 700 to 1,095 masks a day because we're trying to keep our personnel safe. >> reporter: the top infectious
7:07 am
disease expert is not ruling out a national lockdown. >> americans should be prepared that they're going to have to hunker down significantly more than we as a country are doing. >> reporter: more and more businesses continue to shutter. ski resorts across the country are following the lead of the cruise ship industry and shutting down their operations. in las vegas, mgm announced the temporary shutdown of its hotels and casinos effective tomorrow. anthony? >> mola, thank you. an experimental coronavirus vaccine moves into human testing today. it's part of the push by scientists to find treatments and preventive vaccines. dr. david agus joins us from los angeles. good morning. i know a vaccine is at least a year away at this point. i want to get to the more immediate concern, which is, has been the lack of tests. is the testing situation improving at all from what you've seen? >> the good is, there are more tests across the country.
7:08 am
the tough part is, there's not an infrastructure to run those tests. some of the reagents are in short supply. we are still testing a fraction of the people that need to be tested, and the tests many times can take three, four, five days until the results come back. >> does that limit our understanding of what we're dealing with at this point? >> with knowledge is power. and ride now we don't have that knowledge. so it's very hard to do effective data-driven quarantines without the data of who is affected. if i tell you you're positive, you're going to stay home. we don't know what to do. >> what are the numbers in other countries tell bus about what w could face here. does that give knus clue? >> we're scared. we're scared the numbers are going to skyrocket, that we'll have to put in stricter measures. i'm proud of what america is doing. we're stepping up every single, you know, city is stepping up here. we may have to step up more. but it's certainly an amazing week. look at what we've done as a country. >> doctor, at the beginning of
7:09 am
this month, fewer than 100 cases. now at 3,700. you look at our trajectory next to italy and iran, it seems frightenly similar. are we on the path of, say italy. >> it's really hard to know. we have much better medical infrastructure than italy does. the drugs that are going to be able to treat this disease are in development and look very, very encouraging. so the hope is there's some really positive news there in the next week or two together with us expanding our medical infrastructure. we'll not have what happened, what happened in italy. i think our leadership and infrastructure is going to do much better. >> what do you think we're facing in the weeks ahead, david? >> what i think is somewhat stricter measures about trying to slow the progress of the disease. that's the goal here. there's no panic. it's slowing the disease. so that we can have our infrastructure in place. we have to protect our elderly. below age 60, the death rate is almost zero. above age 60, it starts to go up by decade. we as a country have to protect
7:10 am
our elderly. we're all stepping up for people with medical issues and over the age of 60 to protect them. >> if you test positive, david, what is the recovery rate? do we know? >> well, that depends how old you are. the entry portal for the virus goes up by decade. if you test positive under the age of 60, the recovery rate is over 99% in countries like south korea. and it will be the same here. every decade above 60, that goes up until it's about 7% or 8% in the 80s. and so we have to protect people over the age of 60 and that's what we're doing with these draconian measures going in across the country. >> doctor, there's some things you want to spread at a time like this and that would be advice for what is effective treatment. when people walk into a doctor's office, i'm curious, what is working? what are folks like yourself talking about and sharing with one another about how to get people back on their feet? >> it's a great question. right now there is no national database for what is working, how we all talk to each other in
7:11 am
terms of treating this disease. that being said, there are some effective treatments we think will work. the clinical trials are ongoing but they look encouraging. and we as physicians are allowed to use the drugs off label. we're using drugs that block the virus from replicating. we're using drugs that temper down inflammation which is the main side effect of the virus to make survival significantly higher than it's been seen before. >> dr. david agus, thanks. wall street opened the week with a huge drop after the latest action to try and protect the economy from the coronavirus. trading was halted seconds after the opening bell after stocks fell close to 10%. that followed the federal reserve's decision yesterday to drastically cut interest rates. weijia jiang is at the white house where president trump applauded the reduction. what's led to the fed's decision? >> good morning. chairman powell stopped short of using the word recession to
7:12 am
describe what's ahead. but this surprise announcement is certainly a clear indication that the fed is concerned about how the coronavirus is going to impact the global economy. the fed cut its benchmark rate by a full percentage point to a range between 0% and 0.25% and, starting today, the fed will start buying $500 billion in treasury securities and $200 billion in mortgage-backed securities in order to introduce money into the economy. some economists express concern that by using the biggest tool in its arsenal at this point, it will not be able to significantly affect the economy down the line. of course, congress also has a big role to play in dealing with the economic fallout of the virus. and today, the senate is expected to take up a house bill that was passed on saturday that would provide paid sick leave, help feeding families and boost medicaid funds. gayle? >> weijia, thank you. many americans coming home
7:13 am
from abroad waited in very long lines for several hours at major airports to have medical screenings. people, as you see, were packed together shoulder to shoulder, despite the cdc's call for social distancing. kris van cleave is at reagan national airport just outside washington, d.c. kris, those lines were very jarring to see. the last thing you need at the airport these days. what's being done to prevent these lines from forming again? >> good morning, gayle. you're exactly right. this is what americans are being told to avoid. the acting homeland security secretary says they are working to increase capacity and speed up the wait times. take a look at some of this video. we know that very long lines and long wait times hit 3 of the 13 airports screening passengers returning from europe saturday night. this follows travel restrictions going into effect for most of europe. the uk and ireland are being added to the list. these social media pictures show a crowd at chicago o'hare waiting for hours. the slowdown appeared to be a combination of staffing, the new
7:14 am
health screenings and new forms passengers have to fill out. yesterday a flyer returning from finland on a virtually empty flight described confusion getting back into the u.s. >> our experience getting back home was one of everything going on time, although every time we'd ask a question like what's it going to be like when we got back to the u.s., no one could answer it. it was rapidly changing. we saw what was happening at o'hare. >> americans coming back from europe, china, iran, are being asked to self-quarantine once they get home for 14 days. president trump is telling americans, if they don't have to travel, not to. and that is causing airlines to start shedding capacity. at united, they said they'd cut 50% of their capacity by april. they are facing the possibility of losing at least a billion dollars. $1.5 billion this month alone. guys? >> kris, they've said it's worse than 9/11. in europe, three of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus have each recorded
7:15 am
their highest single day death count. france, spain and italy, where the spike came despite a national lockdown. over the weekend in italy, obituaries for victims spanned ten pages of a local newspaper in bergamo in the northern part of the country. imtiaz tyab reports how they are fighting to contain the spread. >> reporter: europe continues to convulse from the coronavirus outbreak. cases in spain are surging with reported infections over 8,000. this woman just lost her husband to the virus. she, too, is infected but was denied treatment from doctors for not being sick enough. desperate to console their mother, her children risking exposure to themselves. across the continent, more than 100 million people are now on lockdown. police are even using drones to enforce it. germany is the latest to slam its borders shut, while in
7:16 am
france, cafes and bistros are closed despite local elections going ahead. the british government is now warning it, too, could ban public gatherings and also enforce months of isolation on the elderly. >> it's just scary. >> reporter: but it's italy that continues to suffer the most. with a record one-day death toll of 368 people on sunday alone. still, that didn't stop pope francis from walking the streets of an eerily empty rome to pray for the sick. prayers which may have been heard as soons of hope slowly start to emerge elsewhere. like in china where this all started. and in south korea, also with large outbreaks, the numbers of infected are at record lows. inspiring some italians to take to their balconies this weekend to sing songs of solidarity. including puccini's classic "nessun dorma."
7:17 am
he sings, i will win. consider "cbs this morning," imtiaz tyab, london. >> so beautiful. how about that for the human spirit. >> goose bumps to hear that. very nice. >> beautiful thing. back here in this country, the coronavirus and the federal government's response dominated the presidential debate. former vice president joe biden and senator bernie sanders stood at a noticeably safe distance from one another, about six feet, as they argued about why they would be the best person to lead the country in a crisis. ed o'keefe reports from washington. >> this is bigger than any one of us. >> reporter: in their first one on one debate, joe biden and bernie sanders said they'd respond to the coronavirus better than president trump. >> undermining the doctors and scientists trying to help the american people. it's unacceptable for him to be blabbering with unfactual information which is confusing the general public. >> reporter: but they disagreed about whether a government-run health care plan should be part of the solution. >> you have a single payer system in italy. it doesn't work there.
7:18 am
>> one of the reasons that we are unprepared and have been unprepared is we don't have a system. we've got thousands of private insurance plans. that is not a system that is prepared to provide health care for all people. >> that has nothing to do when you're in a national crisis. the national crisis says we're responding. it's all free. you don't have to pay for a thing. that has nothing to do with whether or not you have an insurance policy. >> reporter: both in their late 70s, the candidates were asked what they're doing to stay healthy. >> i am very careful about the people i'm interacting with. i'm using a lot of soap and hand sanitizers. >> i do not shake hands any longer. i do not engage -- we did the same thing, our staff is all working from home. we are not doing rallies any longer. >> reporter: on the topic of a vice presidential pick, sanders said he'd likely pick a woman and biden made a commitment.
7:19 am
>> there are a number of women qualified to be president tomorrow. i'd pick a woman to be my vice president. >> reporter: ed o'keefe. >> made news. very civilized conversation. >> no audience. we'll have more on the coronavirus, of tracking white rain, pushing across parts of the bay area this morning and as we head to the afternoon, looking through scattered showers, some of us will be in the mid 50s. a cool afternoon ahead. daytime highs right around 54 in san francisco, 54 in fremont and 56 for san jose. keep those umbrellas today handy for today and tomorrow. dryer, and a little bit more mild for the rest of the work week. >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by toyota. let's go places.

you're looking at times square in new york. usually one of the busiest places on earth. it is very quiet this morning as the coronavirus grips the city. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm anthony mason with gayle king and tony dokoupil. millions of americans are seeing dramatic changes in their daily life because of the outbreak. >> that's right. at least 33 states have made the decision to shut down all public schools. that affects more than 32 million students. that's a lot. think about that for a second. the cdc is recommending that gatherings of 50 people or more should be canceled for at least the next two months to limit the spread. >> in los angeles and right here in new york city, two of the major cities across the country ordering all bars and restaurants to close or switch to takeout and delivery only.
7:31 am
the coronavirus is affecting everyone's life across the globe including us here at cbs news. six cbs news employees were diagnosed with covid-19, and one of them is cbs news foreign correspondent seth doane. there he is. death is quarantined in his home in rome. first let me say it's good to see you. really good. i want to know, number one, how you're feeling. and what you were experiencing that made you think "i need to get testing -- i need to get tested." >> reporter: thanks, gayle. i was starting to feel -- i coughed a little bit, just enough to worry the people i was with here. we were out working covering this story. i started to have a little bit of a cough that worried me. for most part, i feel okay. as we know, this is a deadly virus. it can be incredibly serious, major illness. so far i've been lucky. i've had a chest pressure almost like you feel like you've done a big chest workout. i've had a little bit of a cough. i had a relatively mild fever.
7:32 am
i'm had weird aches and pains in places i'm not used to. honestly, i feel like i've had colds and flus worse than this. we've never been totally out for the whole day in bed. i've been up, able to talk with people. so for me, luckily, fortunately for me it's been quite mild. as soon as i learned i had been exposed to people who had tested positive, we have been in lockdown here inside the house. as you know, italy has been locked down. people have been told they have to remain at home. since i had had exposure to positive cases, i was absolutely not allowed to leave the house. i haven't left to take out the trash. in fact, our neighbors just brought some groceries to us and left them on the front doorstep. we have taken from the moment i learned that i was exposed to positive cases, we've taken this quarantine seriously because you have to stop the spread. >> we saw the -- the video of you getting the actual test. boy, that was hard to watch. it looks very uncomfortable. is it as painful?
7:33 am
>> reporter: it's very uncomfortable. they really stick this swab up both sides of your nostrils. and then both sides of the back of your throat. you saw those were italian health authorities who came to our apartment here in italy. if you're feeling symptoms, you call a number. we also called our local doctor here in rome. for a while they didn't want to give me the test because they said "you have mild symptoms," italians have been incredible. they've been checking two times a day. one called because i have a little bit of a fever now, he said now we're going to stop checking two times a day. we're going to call three times a day to check your temperature. they've been responsive to stop any spread. they say we can't leave the house. health authorities suit up in space suits, protective suits. it's quite alarming to have them come in your house. they've got to stay safe, as well. they administered the tests. we waited about 24 hours and got the test this weekend. the results this weekend. >> we've heard some people who
7:34 am
are under guarantee literally have -- under quarantine literally have to get a note to get groceries. hoe has it affected your life there? >> reporter: a quarantine has stopped life in many ways in italy. if you've been exposed to positive cases, you're not allowed to leave the house. certainly if you are positive, you're not able tore you can go medical needs, for something like going to the grocery store or the pharmacy, most everything is closed here. for instance, our neighbor who is safe and a friend down the street, cautiously go to the supermarket, everyone's keeping their distance. there are very few people on the street. they carry this form with them in case they're stopped by police. >> one thing i hadn't thought about until just this morning but i think is interesting is when you have this virus, you
7:35 am
then call people that you've had contact with to say, look, i tested positive. what's that call like? and how do people react? >> reporter: tony, it's alpharettawful. this is not what i want to discuss on tv. this is not what i want to be known for. i'm trying to be public and open because i think it's vital that we stop the spread of this th g thing. it is vital that people inform people they had contact with. the psychological part for me has been worse than the physical part. i've tried to call or email or contact everyone i had contact with. i was feeling great. i felt totally fine. luckily, our amazing dr. jon lapook has been checking and hopes i wasn't spreading at that point when i was feeling terrific. but really, it's too early. we don't know. i've taken it seriously to call everybody i had contact with, as difficult as it's been, to say you've got to take this seriously. you have to quarantine. >> now that you have it, do you just wait it out? it's not like you're taking
7:36 am
medication, right? you wait for it to pass? >> reporter: no, there's no treatment, exactly. there's waiting at home. they say, look, you have it, all you can do is stop the spread in your house. i'm trying to keep a distance from my husband, i'm trying to sterilize as much as i can in the house. the idea is that it stops at my doorstep. >> seth, it is great to see you. it's great to hear that you're doing okay at least for now. we hope things stay table and you weather through the quarantine. good to see you. ahead, a top infectious disease expert talks about how the virus can spread even when the person shows no symptoms. we'll be right back. is hard work that's why ford builds the super duty to help build the roads the buildings and everything else that needs to get built. there are trucks, and then there's the new ford super duty-

us would know it that we're transmitting it or that we're with spin infeomeone infected. then the second question, are we sure people never have symptoms. i'm sure it happens. it may be mild enough that they don't think they've been at risk, a cough or itchy throat. >> in terms of exposure, doctor, there's people, social distancing. there's also surfaces, plastic, cardboard, metal. do we have any idea of how long the virus can live on those surfaces? >> well, you know, again, we're learning mother nature about th and extrapolating from what we know about influenza and the other coronaviruses. i think there's actually a growing body that's -- of information that says that some of what we've been sharing actually hasn't been correct. number one is is this virus moves a lot further than six feet away from people. so that if i'm in a crowded room, i may very well be breathing in the air of someone
7:44 am
who's infected, doesn't even know it. now i'm infected. second of all, the surface issues i think has been greatly overplayed. and that you know, for one reason, it makes us feel good to know that we can wash our hands. but i think we've taken it to the extreme. all the deep cleaning and all the video you see of people cleaning in the streets probably has very, very little to do with stopping transmission. >> boy, doctor -- >> the virus can survive on a surface. but it's not -- it's not highly infectious at all. >> doctor, the mother nature -- the more we hear the worse it sounds. dr. fauci said if people think we're overreacting, that's a good thing. i see people saying are we taking things too far? what can you say to people to let them know you've got to take this very, very seriously. the pro-cautions you take matter. >> yeah. i might have a slide disagreement with my good friend tony. i don't think that's called overreaction. i think what we want to do is do what makes a difference, straight talk with people, tell
7:45 am
them what makes a difference. and then when we don't know, say so. a good example is i don't have the data that supports that this is a problem in schoolchildren, them transmitting the virus to each other and bringing it home like with flu. absolutely have that with flu. there are downsides to closing schools. we're losing up to 20% of the main health care workers now because they have to stay home with kids. we want to do everything we can, but we know right now that surely it's still going to keep spreading. >> dr. osterholm, thank you so

mandating that bars, restaurants, and other leisure activities shut down until this passes? >> it is important to understand that a lot of that authority in the united states lies at the state and the local level. i know this as someone who used to work for both a local health diplomat and a state health department. >> certainly true, but the federal government has a lot of leadership capability. if it said to, it might be done. give cover. so federally should there be a mandate. >> that's why the cdc put out the guidance, why the president declared an emergency last week and why you saw the tweet from me this weekend saying hospital systems should pull down their elective cases when appropriate, when they consider it appropriate. >> doctor, do the hospitals have enough supplies? some of them are saying they are concerned? or are hospitals ready for this? >> again, we are leaning into the stockpile. we are increasing purchases. we are working with companies like 3m to make sure we can make more masks available. and there will be issues that pop up across the country. that's what the stockpile is for. >> what about ventilators?
8:10 am
do they have enough ventilators? >> as of right now, we have enough ventilators. when you look at different modelling projections, there are scenarios where we potentially wouldn't have enough ventilators. but the way that you make sure that you have enough ventilators is decrease the number of people who need them by leaning into the aggressive mitttation measures. >> can we talk about the people on the frontlines. this morning an emergency room doctor in washington state tested positive and is in critical condition. what happen is your message to the health care workers on the front lines? >> i appreciate you asking that. we need to take care of the people who take care of the people. i feel lining this weekend at the press conference when we announced our new testing strategy that we made a turning point on testing. you will see that we prioritized among the groups to be tested, health care workers. we have got to make sure they are safe and they feel safe. that they have the p.p.e. they need. we have got to make sure we are not unnecessarily exposing them to coronavirus cases with

"requests it's time to bring you some of the stories that are talk of the table this morning. that's where we each bring you a story we'd like to share with each other and with all of you at home. >> yes. >> here we are at the extra wide social distant table. >> yeah. >> and anthony, you're going first. >> i am. this story got a bit of attention over the weekend, but i just love it. the coronavirus outbreak has shut down schools in dozens of states, of course, so that means school plays and musicals have been cancelled, too, but kids still have a chance to shine thanks to broadway stair laura bonanti who is asking kids on twitter to post their rehearsal videos. take a look. >> this may seem silly, but i know a lot of high schools were going to have their musicals, and those musicals got cancelled. if you would like to sing a song that you are not going to get to
8:31 am
sing now and tag me, i want to see you. i want to hear it. >> i want to be your audience, she said. >> bonanti who just starred in "my fair lady" has gotten lots of responses and she was tagged thank you, laura, thank you, kids. i'm watching, too, and my son came home from college. his musical was cancelled. he'll in "chicago." >> did he post one? >> not yet, but he's been singing for mow. >> nick is good though, anthony. >> so many kids across the country, so disappointed as they have put in so much work and this is such a great gesture. >> a beautiful thing. not silly at all. >> you're up next. >> on the bright side here when it comes to a quarantine, you might be thinking you don't have to come up with an excuse to not go to a party. you don't really have to have any fear of missing out because people are sitting at home and you might not have to go to the gym because the gym may be shut. in spain where the gyms are shut, along with just about everything else, one workout instructor says no, you've still
8:32 am
got to get moving, went on his roof and pumped the volume on his stereo and did a workout class from his roof. the neighbors saw him doing it. everyone came out on their balcony in their workout clothes. all in lockdown there in spain and put the whole class together with crunches and squats and everyone got a good sweat in. >> that's really -- i've been worried about that. i've been expecting my gym to close and worried what am i going to do? >> your gym hasn't closed yet. >> debating whether or not i should go. >> that's going to change the day. >> that's going to change today. >> what have you got? >> i've got a coronavirus story, too. just like yours it's really nice. bittersweet wedding anniversary for a man in connecticut because of the coronavirus. this is bob sllard, unable to visit his wife at a nursing home this weekend to celebrate their 67th wedding anniversary. >> oh, wow. >> this is the first time they have ever been apart on their big day. instead he made a sign and held it up to his wife's window so he could see it. his message i've loved you 67
8:33 am
years and still do. happy anniversary, she she has it, he doesn't, and this is the first time, but there's a shot of her waving in the window at him, and it's just so sweet. i'm so love love. >> 67 years. >> hopefully they wll be back together very soon and they have never missed a wedding anniversary together. i like it. >> their daughter took them. >> all right. >> we're going to step away from the coronavirus crisis for just a moment. we want to focus on our women in uniform who serve at home and abroad as we celebrate women's history month. that's this march. women make up about 17% of personnel across the military branches, but that number is rising, and with it the number of female leaders. charlie d'agata traveled to the "uss mt. whitney" in the mediterranean she to meet the navy vice admiral kathy. >> good morning from the deck of the "uss mount whitt any," the flagship of the sixth fleet and the focus is on the commander of the fleet who not long ago would
8:34 am
have been forbidden from even serving on this ship. that is the sound of a bowsin's pipe, and this ceremony isn't held for any top brass. three-star vice admiral lei san kathy is not the highest ranking commander on board but the commander of the entire sixth fleet, the only female fleet commander in the u.s. navy. could have you have dreamed way back when when your career began that you would be here? >> never dreamed it. >> and when the admiral joined, women weren't even allowed on combat vessels, let alone to hold leadership positions and joining came by chance. >> it's kind of a funny story. i didn't really have this dream when i was growing up. in fact, i really wanted to be you. >> yes, like you, multi-award winning foreign correspondent. >> so this is where it all began. >> reporter: grow got her journalism degree at northwestern university where she joined the rotc program to
8:35 am
help pay her way. >> and the rest is the history. 34 years later here i am. >> reporter: 34 years ago little did she know things were about to change. >> i will faithfully execute -- >> reporter: in the same year of his inauguration in 1993 president clinton revealed the prohibition of women serving on combat vessels. >> the law changed, policy changed and i was assigned to my first ship and i want to command a combatant ship and then after that a squadron and really aspirational command a fleet. >> reporter: a fleet tasked with keeping watch over one of the most volatile regions on the planet. >> so you see adversaries in europe, you see the russia threat and you look to the middle east and you see everything that emanates out of the middle east. >> reporter: and the "mount whitney" is up with of the most sophisticated command and control ships ever commissioned. we got a rare glimpse at the very heart of it, the joint operation center. >> basically this is where the
8:36 am
magic happens. >> reporter: the ship embarked with a helicopter which trntsports the admiral hand staff to and from the sixth fleet headquarters in naples, italy. >> scale of the area under control is staggering, 20 million square fought call miles from the north pole to the south where u.s. forces are face to face with america's adversaries. >> reporter: adversaries like russia increasingly belligerent since invading crimea, stepping up war footing in its naval base in syria, both under the watch of the sixth fleet. do you feel the pressure? >> i mean, we all feel the pressure in what we do in support of our national security interests makes a difference. now every day our forces father, and the message that we send by what we do matters. >> reporter: it matters to senior chief poet officer ray and lieutenant stephanie wechsler. how important is it to see women in leadership roles for somebody in your position?
8:37 am
>> i think it's very important. i think that ultimately people do need to see people who look like them. while you want good quality people regardless of gender, it's still important because there's some fundamental piece that i think speaks to every woman that says that could be me some day. >> reporter: really engages with as many people as she can. >> yes. she's very approachable. she actually does come and say hello, how are you? how are you your families? >> reporter: it's a very stratified command structure. there's a formality at the top, but she sort of breaks down those structures it seems. >> to be fair though i wouldn't say she completely breaks it down. you still remember when you're speaking to her that's a three-star admiral but it doesn't hurt to treat people like humans. >> reporter: admiral franchetti says interacting with them is
8:38 am
important. do you ever get tired of this? >> i never get tired of this. how could you get tired of this view? >> reporter: as for what's on her horizon? >> i don't have control of that horizon and i know whatever comes next will be the right thing for me and the navy and for my family and nation. >> the numbers show that the u.s. military in general may have some way to go in actively recruiting young women, but the vice admiral told us she hopes she serves as an example of what's now possible. for "cbs this morning." charlie d'agata aboard the ""uss mount whitney"" in the mediterranean.

aag is changing the way people use reverse mortgages and another way, aag is working to make your retirement better. call now the coronavirus pandemic is dramatically changing our every day lives. throughout this week we're going to examine what the new normal
8:43 am
looks like including how we work, socialize, and also get lifesaving information. right about now for many, it means working from home. that is the new normal. and cbs news contributor derek thompson has been doing that on and off now for about seven years. he wrote an article about it in "the atlantic" titled "the coronavirus is creating a huge stressful experiment in working from home." that's definitely true. good morning, a lot of people swear they are productive when they work from home, and they r. one entrepreneur told you it's not a good idea and not effective for most companies s. that because of the fridge, the couch, and the television? >> yeah. i think it general when you think about the benefits of remote work, it's you want to leave the -- the bad stuff about the office at the office and take the good parts of the office home. so a good part about the office is that you have routine. the office is not your couch. you have to leave your couch and go to the office in order to work. that sort of division between work life and leisure time is really difficult to import back to your own living room.
8:44 am
your own kitchen counter. your own bedroom. it's especially difficult right now i should say during a pandemic when you have schools canceled, the kids are home, the restaurants are closed. it's a very different situation than you might typically have. but theoretically that's the benefit of remote work is that you have time to focus on your own. you have time to struck your time as you want. managers -- structure your time as you want. when you work for home, managers can judge you by what you achieve. >> are they really not judging? are they really not judging? and what conversations should managers and employees have with each other before they -- before they start working from home? >> i talk to a lot of researchers the last few days, the last few weeks about our sort of brief remove work future here with the pandemic. and two words kept coming back to me -- information and isolation. they said the office, at the office you have a lot of information, and you have low isolation. you're surrounded by people. you can see what they're like. when you're home, however, you
8:45 am
have less information about your co-workers, and you feel more isolated. so i think what's really important for managers and workers to get right, to make remote work work is they have to overcommunicate. if you're getting up and going for a walk, let that person know. if you want to have a conversation with your boss, don't just make it a text or make it a slack, maybe see their face so you can see their expression when you give an idea and they say, hmm, i need to think about that. you can see exactly what hmm, i ned to think about that, what it means. when people type it, you think they dislike me, they're criticizing me. when you see expressions in faces you realize emotions are more complicated. >> derek -- >> i'm a huge fan of video conferencing. >> a lot of people doing there for the first time are stressed out about it. i have a wife who's a teacher suddenly at home. she's got to set up a classroom at home. i have a daughter who's a researcher worried about being alone a lot. loneliness is an issue in this, isn't it? >> loneliness is a huge issue. that is, again, a word that kept coming back to me when i was
8:46 am
talking to people. when i said "what's the most surprising thing you have to tell me about remote work experiments that you've seen other companies try," they sent saying the most surprising thing is the loneliness factor, the isolation. that's going to be so much worse in a pandemic when you're not allowed to leave your house in many cases. if you look at italy and spain, places in the u.s. where it becomes difficult to do anything outside of your own home. you're g have real isolation, real loneliness problems, and i do think that as long as we're evaluating the degree to which remote work, we we need to to see what is episcop because of the pandemic. you'll have forced childcare at home. in remote work generally schools are open, restaurants will still be serving foods. you can go work at a cafe. so you want to keep the two issues separate. >> you're pointing out really good distinctions. what do you do to make it as
8:47 am
stress free as possible? >> i think about two things. i think about routine, i think about physical activity. again, with routine, i've written a lot for "the atlantic" about how the boundary between work and leisure was already becoming extremely porous. once you work from your couch and your couch is where you want netflix and where you talk to your manager and where you write articles, that boundary between work and leisure completely falls apart. it's important i think to set up routines. what are you going to accomplish in the morning, how are you going to take breaks, when are you going to stop working. physical activity. you're going to go crazy if you don't do anything inside, if you keep pacing between the refrigerators and the kitchen counter. so trying to build physical activity into my day is a challenge, but one that i try to do. >> the walking to the fridge doesn't counts. we appreciate you coming into the studio for us. we'll let you get home now i guess. >> thank you. >> thank you. on today's "cbs this morning" podcast, jennifer steinhauer discusses history
