7:31 am
and death consequences. at long island's good samaritan hospital medical center, workers are setting up tents to test people for coronavirus. this large hospital has 437 beds. 64 in the intensive care unit on. any given day, 80 to 85% of
7:32 am
those icu beds are full, limiting capacity for any influx of coronavirus patients. but administrators say they're now getting ready for the worst case scenario. patrick o'shaunessy works for good samaritan -- >> we're limiting perhaps less severe acute interventions within the hospitals. things that could be done on an elective basis perhaps are going to be delayed or canceled to free up capacity. this is going to be more of a marathon and not a sprint. >> reporter: but hospitals in some areas of the country are likely to be under more pressure than others. pro-publica created maps using new data from the harvard global health institute that shows what happens if the virus spreads more quickly or more slowly. in what researchers call the best case scenario where 20% of adults are infected with coronavirus over a span of 18 months, the map shows hospitals can largely accommodate the influx. but pro-publica reports even then beds would be 95% full.
7:33 am
but now look at the path for the worst case scenarios. first with 20% of adults becoming infected over six months. at that rate, hospitals in the red regions quickly need many more beds than they actually have. then if 60% of adults get coronavirus in a six-month time span, the map turns virtually all red meaning the u.s. would need more than seven times the number of available hospital beds than it currently has. what it shows, says the harvard institute's director -- >> the data says that if we fail to act, if we go with the status quo we are going to be in a lot of trouble. that most hospitals in most communities are going to end up getting overwhelmed. >> reporter: for hospitals, he ng up beds. for communities, it's about continuing to shut down public venues including restaurants and bars. >> this is a national emergency where we're all going to have to work together. every mayor, every governor has
7:34 am
to be asking themselves are they going to be part of the solution, or are they going to be part of the problem. >> reporter: charles ornstein is deputy managing editor for pro-publica. >> when you look at this data, the one thing that becomes crystal clear is that it is essential that we slow down this pandemic and that we try to stretch it out over as long a period as possible. >> reporter: a major goal he says to avoid a situation similar to italy's where doctors in the worst-hit regions are reported to have received guidance to only treat patients deemed worthy of intensive care. >> doctors and hospitals are going to be forced to make decisions they didn't go into medicine for. and essentially that's going to be seriously?
7:35 am
>> i think they really are. you're seeing people talk about the highways and the freeways being empty of traffic. there are some stores people are allowed to go to, groceries and pharmacies. they basically closed down businesses here. even if you wanted to go into work, you can't in most cases. we think that people are education it seriously and hopefully they'll con

i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

we are going to take a pause from coronavirus news to bring you a big story from the world of sports. after months of speculation, quarterback tom brady announced on social media that he will not return to the new england patriots next season. surprised a lot of people with that. multiple reports say brady will instead become a tampa bay buccaneer. "cbs this morning saturday" co-host dana jacobson is in new york city's times square. dana, good morning. a lot of people say brady is the best quarterback of all time. what do we know about him becoming a buccaneer? >> reporter: well, a lot of people do say that, and they would be right. here from the crossroads of the world, i can tell you that brady's at a crossroads in his career. there's no imminent announcement planned right now, but we do know that tampa bay according to multiple sources is where brady will try to re-create the magic he made in new england. >> we'll never see this run again, jim. >> brady's pass -- intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
7:42 am
>> reporter: unexpected at the time, this was tom brady's final play in new england. an interception returned for a touchdown following two decades of glory in the nfl. >> you know, thereob who's had a better career i would say than me. >> going back, baby -- >> reporter: that career fairyt. in 2000 he was ael are jacksonville unknown quarterback happy to compete for a spot on the patriots. >> pretty good workout. i think i get the job done. >> reporter: but that work ethic put brady on a path to superstardom. he set more than 50 nfl records with the patriots, including six championships and 249 wins. [ cheers ] >> reporter: the most by any player. in january, 2012, patriots owner robert kraft reminisced about his first meeting with brady. >> he said, "hi, mr. kraft. i'm tom brady." i said, "i know who you are,
7:43 am
you're our sixth draft pick." he looked me in the eye and said, "i'm the best decision the organization has made." he was right. >> reporter: now 42, the superstar quarterback will spend the twilight of his career in a new city. something brady hinted at after his playoff loss. >> love playing for this team. again, i just -- what it looks like moving forward, so we'll just take it day by day. >> reporter: in brady's open letter to fans tuesday, he wrote, quote, i will always love you and what we have shared -- a lifetime full of fun memories. >> i'm surprised, to be honest. i thought he was going back -- >> reporter: analyst pete prisco says while brady has nothing to prove, his drive to be the best outside new england will push him. >> he's a competof. you see him -- competitor. you see him on the field. he's fiery. everybody that he can win one without bill belichick. >> reporter: brady's expected deal with tampa bay reportedly in the $30 million range. tampa bay does not play the patriots this year, but i should point out the super bowl is in
7:44 am
tampa, and gayle, no host city has ever had its home team play in that title game. who knows, maybe more history for tom brady. >> i know. a lot of people still in shock. do you think this was just a financial decision? many people still can't believe this is actually happening. >> reporter: yeah. it may have been. we talked about this at the time when brady's season had ended, that the idea was that brady may have some money in mind, but that the patriots need to start looking forward and may not have that same amount of money in mind. it could have been. it could have simply been the opportunity to move on somewhere else with new england, wanting to start over. >> still hard. thank you so much, dana. i love tom brady and robert kraft together. and it -- i'm still a little stunned by it. >> almost unimaginable. >> it is. it is. is it my term? vlad duthiers -- i see him. never mind. vlad duthiers, he's in his new york apartment. what do you want to talk about? >> hey, i can tell you're going

us what your plans are to weather the storm and how you're 'r to thelpe the money. >>hatou are partnering with the world health organization, the w.h.o., to make sure at that information on facebook is correct. what exactly does that mean? what are you all doing? >> we want people to get accurate information. so from the beginning we've been working with the w.h.o. to take down any harmful information, debunk claims that are false. but also get their information in front of people. >> has there been a ln,think, o your services that you thought this was necessary? >> well, we're definitely always vigilant. but in this area we've gone one step further, and we're removing things quickly if they're harmful. i also think there's a lot of information people need. they need information about local school closes, they need information with local health organizations. >> you know, i think it opens it up to the question of you want to make sure the information is
8:19 am
accurate about coronavirus, but people say when it comes to politics, facebook sometimes knowingly leaves ads up that they know are not true. why not do that when it comes to the campaign ads, as well? >> well, i want to be really clear. for this crisis, any fake information is down. it is down no matter who the source is. it can be a politician, it can be anyone. if it's harmful and fake, it's down. >> but will you do the same going forward about -- when it comes to politics, campaign 2020, removing false ads? or has the policy not changed on that? >> well, what we've really done is made sure that anything that's harmful can't be put on the site. in terms of regular content or groups or ads. when it comes to generalized political speech, whether that's in ads or -- we think that as one company being the arbiter of truth is too much power and something that kind of sounds like we should do it, but as soon as we started doing it everyone would be like, oh, my god, facebook's deciding what's true and false.
8:20 am
and political speeches are heavily scrutinized. one politician says something, they run in an ads, in a speech, the person running against them says it's false. that process continues and needs the full-throated opportunities people have. >> do you have any cases of coronavirus at facebook? >> we do. >> you do? >> we do. they're young. they're doing well so far from what i know. >> how many cases do you have and how are you all handling that? >> we're protecting people's privacy. we're not announcing our number of cases. for me the employees that have allowed me to know who they are, i've been directly in touch. some have wanted their privacy, and i've respected that. and we're just doing everything we can to help people. >> in addition to this project, announcing the $100 million, facebook is also doing something for its own employees. can you tell us about that? i just heard about this. >> well, taking care of our employees is really important to us. from the very beginning of this, we have made sure everyone got

paid and encouraged people to stay home if they were sick. we then went pretty aggressively and pretty early to recommending work from home. we also gave all of our full-time employees an extra cash benefit of $1,000. and we've told everyone everyone's going to get their bonus for this half. we're giving it higher than the full bonus. we feel strongly about this -- we're paying everyone. we pay our contractors, our employees. whether you're sick, healthy, whether you can work, whether your ob can go home, we're paying people. >> you know there will be skeptics. there always are. people saying, listen, facebook is taking a beating in public relations, some of the press has not been so flattering. is this an attempt to redeem yourself? >> i think this is an attempt to take the responsibility we have and do everything we can. and i think this is a moment where everyone needs to do that. this is not about -- about what will feel good. this is about what will make a
8:22 am
difference. >> and they know that's going to make a huge difference. she's hoping that other companies will follow suit. of course, it's an individual decision. i applaud early and making -- they want to make a difference. and about the misinformation. they take that very, very se that everything u there is factual. she's no play dates. no interaction. they think they're keeping themselves safe and others safe, too. >> it's great that they're being so generous with their employees. >> exactly right. >> so many companies are in distress. >> i agree. i think we continue to spotlight companies that are doing the right thing here. putting capitalism aside and cooperating. and of course all americans are going through something new, but this is not the first time that america has faced a deadly pandemic. ahead, presidential historian doris kearns goodwin will show us how leaders can reassure anxious americans. it is time for a locker room speech.
