7:00 am
thank you so much for watching kpix 5 news this morning. have a great day. good morning to you and welcome to "cbs this morning." we're here, happy to be here. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. new efforts to address a massive shortfall in medical supplies to fight the coronavirus. a navy hospital ship is already headed to a major city. >> president trump suggests he may reopen parts of the economy in weeks despite medical advice saying people should stay home. >> many restaurants struggle, we'll hear from workers waiting for their next paycheck. >> plus, trevor noah has a daily reminder to laugh, even through these difficult times. he'll join us. >> it's tuesday, march 24th, 2020. here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> let's shut down the entire
7:01 am
world. that would be wonderful. and let's keep it shut for a couple of years. we can't do that. we can't have the cure be worse than the problem. >> a vote to advance a massive stimulus package failed again in a party line process. >> if you don't support the public health workers, there's no amount of stimulus. $2 trillion, $3 trillion, $4 trillion that will solve your problem. >> prime minister boris johnson put the uk on lockdown and gave police special powers to arrest and fine people still ignoring advice to keep physical distance. >> if you don't follow the rules, the police will have the powers to enforce them. >> the 2020 olympics will likely be postponed. >> several countries are saying they will not send teams. >> this was absolutely the right call. and everyone should follow their lead. >> the federal reserve has unleashed the big bazooka launching an unlimited asset purchase program to mitigate the coronavirus impact. >> the governor of new york, andrew cuomo, my brother, thank you for coming back to the show. >> mom told me i had to.
7:02 am
>> danny deveto has a message for people in new york. >> young people can get it. they can transmit it to old people and the next thing you know, i'm out of here. >> and all that matters. >> sports broadcaster joe buck doesn't have much to do these days. he's offering to do play-by-play of your life at home. >> oh, and he's hit his mom. he has hit his mom. mom is playing it up. wyatt is crying. all hell has broken loose. >> on "cbs this morning." >> a lot of italian mayors and local leaders have started posting videos yelling at people to go back home. >> you got to listen to me. why you don't listen.
7:03 am
i'm going to come and punch you in the face. >> the "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." we're coming to you once again from the historic ed sullivan theater in new york. home to "the late show with stephen colbert." the cbs broadcast center where we normally are is closed out of an abundance of caution. we're grateful to stephen and his team. it's interesting what trevor noah picked up on italians calling people out. you almost have to shame people. it's almost come to that. >> it's so dire there. >> raise your voice. >> you really do. this is very serious stuff and that is where we are beginning. talking about serious. we are seeing the biggest one-day jump in coronavirus tests in the u.s. since the outbreak began. more than 140 people lost their lives yesterday bringing the death toll to over 590 in this country. the number of reported cases in the u.s. has now risen to more than 46,000. a new cbs news poll says nearly three quarters of americans, 72%, believe it will take months
7:04 am
or longer for this virus to be contained. >> the coronavirus has also pushed the american economy to the brink. for that reason, president trump is now suggesting he may be running out of patience with measures meant to slow the virus as congress continues to fight over a bailout package. nowhere has been hit harder in america than the new york metro area. around a quarter of the country's coronavirus cases are in new york city. that's where our lead national correspondent david begnaud is. david, these numbers are causing at least one other state to take action. >> anthony, good morning. the governor of florida has said, listen, if you're coming to our state from new york, you need to quarantine for 14 days. and some people are giving the governor heat saying the florida governor should declare a stay-at-home order statewide. you have the governor of puerto rico who said anyone coming from anywhere to our island needs to quarantine for 14 days. i want to give you a sense of what some of the other states,
7:05 am
the smaller ones are going through. i talked to a hospital ceo in louisiana who said, david, we need masks so bad. i was on the phone with somebody's brother's brother sister's friend who connected me with a lady who usually sells perfume she gets from china. now she's getting masks and we're buying them from her. that's what our top level medical professionals are dealing with in order to get our front line workers the equipment they need. the governor of new york andrew cuomo toured manhattan's javits center monday. it will soon be converted to a temporary 1,000-bed facility. but the governor says that won't be enough. >> we have 53,000 hospital beds. we are projecting a possible need of 110,000 beds. i have ordered today the hospitals that they must increase their capacity by 50%. >> reporter: in walnut creek, california, nurses at a kaiser hospital rallied over the
7:06 am
shortage of personal protective equipment. >> i see nurses go home in tears because they fear they've been exposed to something here. >> reporter: the hospital insists it's providing equipment which is in line with current scientific and public health standards. the u.s. government admits it only has a fraction of the 300 million n95 masks stockpile that it needs for the medical workers to protect themselves. valley view hospital in glenwood springs, colorado, is making their own surgical masks to wear over the fda-approved n95 masks. which the nurses have been told they only get one, and they have to reuse it. >> that's where i believe our masks will come in to help provide that protective barrier that health care workers want to use to feel safe to do the job they need to do to protect our community. >> reporter: in california, the governor says the state needs an additional 50,000 beds to treat the sick.
7:07 am
off the coast of california, the navy hospital ship "mercy" left san diego headed for los angeles with 1,000 beds and 9 staffed operating rooms. the idea is to use the ship to treat people who are not infected with covid-19. if you need more proof that this virus knows no age, back in new york city, 26-year-old yoga teacher fiona loewenstein said she had no underlying medical conditions but was still hospitalized for covid-19. she lost her appetite and was struggling to breathe. she's home now, but she says things are by no means back to normal. >> i still have no sense of smell. i'm having gi problems. i lost a lot of weight in that first week that i have not been able to put back on. >> what's the most direct pointed, candid thing you want to say to people your age. >> i think i want to say that at some point during this crisis, we have all not taken it seriously.
7:08 am
>> fiona wrote an op-ed in "the new york times" targeting people her age in their mid-20s saying hear my story and understand this is serious for people who are as young as we are. i want you to know that the pentagon says five military field hospitals will be set up around the country. one is going to the seattle area. another one is set to arrive in new york this week. >> that military support is hardening but people need to take this seriously. while most americans do not think the trump administration was prepare forward the coronavirus pandemic, 53% do approve of the way the president is handling it, although that's changing. the president now appears to be backing away from recommendations that people should stay home over a long period of time. because of his concerns about the effects on the economy. >> if it were up to the doctors, they may say let's keep it shut down. let's shut down the entire world because, again, you are up to almost 150 countries. so let's shut down the entire world and when we shut it down,
7:09 am
that would be wonderful. and let's keep it shut for a couple of years. can't do that. that's why i talk about the cure being worse than the problem. we can't have the cure be worse than the problem. >> so we should point out that cbs news has not heard any recommendation from any doctor about a multi-year shutdown, although certainly a short-term shutdown is on the way. paula reid is at the white house for us. good morning. what are the president's comments suggesting about what he's likely to do next? >> the president appears to be laying the groundwork to reopen sectors of the economy and send people back to work. the president said on monday he will make an announcement about whether to ease the current restrictions. but at a nearly two-hour briefing last night, the president said it will be a matter of weeks, not months, before he tries to reopen the country. but asked if he was risking lives by doing this, the president insisted he believes the dire economic conditions could lead to suicides which he claims would result in an even higher death toll. though many medical experts
7:10 am
disagree with that assessment. the president said going forward, he will consult with medical experts on this effort along with others, but when pressed, he would not say who else he is talking to to get advice about how to guide the country through this unprecedented economic turmoil. dr. anthony fauci is the one who many americans say they really want to hear from when it comes to coronavirus. he was not at last night's briefing. the president was asked about this, and the president insisted he believes the doctor is a very good man, but said the world renowned infectious disease expert was not at the briefing because they were not discussing his area of expertise. gayle? >> a lot of people wondering where was dr. fauci yesterday. thank you very much, paula. america is halfway through the federal government's 15 days of recommended social distancing. our dr. david agus is at his home in los angeles. let's start with the president, david, because he appears to be at odds with the health experts about how long this should go
7:11 am
on. if it comes to that, who wins in this dispute, and what is the risk there? >> i think everybody thinks that it needs to be a four to six-week minimum of what we call the social distancing. remember, each person in the chinese data can actually spread to 2 1/2 people. so if you stop it and there's still virus, it will keep going and grow up again. so we have to be clear on that. my gut is, i mean, obviously, science will win. and the data will win. and i think -- my hope what the president is saying is let's see data every day and see where we are and then make a decision based on the data. let's not say in advance that it's going to be x number of weeks. and that i buy into. the key thing here really is to see what's going on. so what we're going to see is the end of this week, we're going to see the impact of what we all have done the last week, which is draconian measures. we all have played a part and stepped back and hopefully dramatically stopped the spread of the virus. >> he says let's not let the cure be worse than the problem. does that make sense to you?
7:12 am
>> well, again, i'm not an economist, but what i do know is the economy won't do well if the virus keeps going. and so i think you have to look at it on both sides. if you open the economy and the virus keeps going, we're going to be in a worse situation than we are in now. >> most businesses probably are not likely to reopen if there's still a health crisis. but i wanted to ask you, how will we know when it is safe to loosen these restrictions? >> so we need to see the stop of the spread of the virus. community spread, which is person to person sproead, has t go down dramatically in order to loosen the restrictions. it's a numbers game. at the same time if we start to have treatment. let's say we find somebody with the virus and we can give them a drug that we know works, we can stop the spread from him to somebody else or her to two other people. >> doctor, the president raised the specter of suicides if the economy tanks as badly as some economists think it will. there's a term for that in the
7:13 am
literature, depths of despair. is it legitimate to calculate those fatalities against the fatalities that come with the virus itself? >> of course. you have to look at the whole picture. we are an enterprise. so you cannot just say, you know, we're going to put everybody in their house, forget the economy or jobs or we'll have social disruption. we'll have young people start to go into the streets and say i've got no income, i can't survive. it needs to be a hybrid of those. as we get more and more science and data, we can figure out what to do. >> as we think about potentially opening up sections of the economy or portions of the country, one idea raised by the country is certain parts of the country less hard hit could come back sooner economically. is that a legitimate approach? >> listen, i think we can open certain parts of the country potentially, although i'm not sure that's going to be likely. but the other side is people who have been exposed, that has antibodies to the virus and it's safe for them to go out, they can be an upstart part of the economy. we can differentiate.
7:14 am
elderly haven't been exposed. very high risk. if you have been exposed, you can go out. >> david, before you go, dr. fauci wasn't at the press conference yesterday. a lot of people find his presence very reassuring. was that a surprise to you that he wasn't there? i know you've talked to the white house about different things. were you reading too much into it? >> yeah, i think, you know, listen. they want to social distance and have a small number of people. you can't have a panel of ten people speaking at every conference. he's a reassuring voice and he's real science and we all believe in him. >> all right, david, thank you. after failing to reach a deal yesterday, lawmakers now say they are finally closing in on a nearly $2 trillion emergency stimulus package. it will help americans and businesses suffering from the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. nancy cordes is on capitol hill. where do we stand this morning? >> good morning. we're told that one extra day of talks did yield some results. more aid to state and local governments. more help for hospitals around
7:15 am
the country. but now the pressure is really on to seal this deal and vote with the hopes that all this money will help convince hard-hit businesses to keep their workers on. >> i believe we are close. >> reporter: senators promise relief is on the way in the form of a bill that's growing so fast, no one knows just how much it costs. >> 1.2, $1.3 trillion, roughly. >> the $2 trillion piece of legislation. >> reporter: negotiations centered monday night around a new $500 billion fund for loans to big industries. democrats say there aren't enough rules to govern who gets what. >> arguing for transparency and accountability on the money that goes to any business, large or small, is not unreasonable. >> reporter: the president only added to their fears with this response to paula reid. >> the lack of oversight. treasury has this unilateral
7:16 am
authority to dole out all of this money. >> look. i'll be the oversight. i'll be the oversight. >> reporter: republicans want to pass the bill now. they say the delay is costing jobs. >> right now, americans are losing hope. >> reporter: even as they spoke, ge announced it would lay off about 2,500 workers. the massive bill would provide up to four months of unemployment insurance at a worker's current salary. also $350 billion in loans for small businesses with incentives to retain their workers. all eyes are now on democratic leader chuck schumer and treasury secretary steve mnuchin who met six times yesterday. >> the list of outstanding issues has narrowed significantly. >> getting this bill passed is only the first challenge. then the government has to figure out how to get all the money out the door quickly. tony? >> nancy, thank you very much. overseas, britain announced a virtual shutdown to fight the
7:17 am
coronavirus. >> meanwhile, the tokyo summer olympics are hanging in the balance now. a veteran member of the international olympic committee dick pound told "usa today" that postponement has already been decided. ramy inocencio reports from tokyo. >> reporter: good morning. it's important to note the international olympic committee has not decided to postpone the games. at least not yet. but cbs news did reach out to the ioc for a reaction. they said that every board member has a right to interpret the board's decision. but dick pound has a lot of influence and it's very likely the games will be postponed to 2021. just five days after the olympic flame landed in japan, its future and that of the entire 2020 summer games is in doubt. team usa voiced its support for a postponement saying in a statement, even if the current significant health concerns could be alleviated by late summer, the enormous disruptions to the training environment, doping controls and qualification process can't be
7:18 am
overcome. >> it's definitely way beyond sports. it's all about health and safety of not only yourself but the ones around you. >> reporter: team usa sprinter manteo mitchell said postponing the games would be bittersweet but fellow athletes getting sick has him concerns. >> here i am a professional athlete. i could possibly get this and not even know, especially with my immune system being as strong as it is. i'm taking all the proper precautions that, you know, the cdc is putting out. >> reporter: first-time olympian, kate courtenney is a mountain biker who qualified and said it would be a huge disappointment not to compete. >> i've been riding virtually with olympians from other countries. i can train from my home gym and share videos on instagram and see what other people are doing. >> reporter: the ioc says they'll have a final decision in the next four weeks. but fewer people here in japan and around the world really expect that any kind of olympic fireworks will end up over the

welcome back to "cbs this morning". you can tell by the camera shot we're somewhere new. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. one thing i like about this theater, talk about social distancing, no one is in here but us chickens. nice to show the beauty of the building. thank you very much for that. americans are being ordered to practice social distancing to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, but in crowded cities across the country that's not always easy to do. >> small spaces at home have pushed many people outside but busy grocery and convenient stores are forced to find
7:31 am
creative ways to keep people apart. jericka duncan is looking at those challenges. there's a pizza place in my neighborhood with a takeout window and spray painted on the sidewalk, no standing here. >> reporter: i believe that. the efforts that people are making are going to be helpful in the end. both in new york state and california government officials are starting to really come down hard on crowds in outdoor spaces like parks and beaches. in fact, the governor of california is now shutting down all parking at state parks to help discourage visitors. in los angeles city officials there have also warned that law enforcement officers will not be shy when it comes to enforcing the rules. in cities where space is already tight, staying at least six feet apart from other people has become increasingly challenging. >> you almost accidentally don't do it a bunch of times and you
7:32 am
forget. >> reporter: matt in seattle said he was surprised by supermarket policies to help keep customers at a distance. others are adding visual accuse like these tape squares to space out customers waiting in line or placing large crates in front of registers. >> so helpful if we can implement policy controls and environmental controls that help people alter our behavior. >> reporter: the director of research at the center for public health initiatives at the university of pennsylvania. he/she said the other key to social distancing in cities is timing. >> if we need go out for exercise we need to try to do that at times when the public parks are not very busy. if we need to go to the grocery store we should try to either order ahead and just pick up the groceries, or to go at nonbusy
7:33 am
times. >> reporter: another major problem is people simply ignoring orders to stay home, crowding los gatos beaches, bay area hiking trails or new york city parks and prompting officials to add new restrictions. >> i think people are definitely taking advantage of going to the beach and congregating in groups which now burns the rest of us. >> i see more and more people in parks together. not really holding on to that six feet rule at wall. >> reporter: outside of your home you should have as little contact as possible with others. >> i think people let their guard down when they see people who are familiar to them. they don't hesitate to visit the homes of friends. familiarity does not confirm protection. >> reporter: so here's some other things to consider. when going grocery shopping, shop for a few days so you don't have to contiuously make trips back and forth to the grocery
7:34 am
store. another thing hide your phone away from yourself when you're grocery shopping? why. you go grocery shopping, you come home, you wash your hand and then you can deal with your phone or maybe leave your phone at home. >> leave the phone at home. oh, no. >> imagine that. just picture it. >> good advice. >> she's right. i like tony what you said about your pizza shop. i went to cvs the other day to get my cholesterol medicine. you have to reach over a table to get it. >> it's very hard. new yorkers particularly in a time of crisis are used to going up to other new yorkers, how are we come together. now, no, stay apart. >> i have the opposite of a gravitational pull. i see someone and i pull away. >> hard to do when you like somebody. >> i was so glad to see him but you should not do that.

8:04 am
i was scared, honestly, is this permanent? i don't know. >> he is recovering and slowly getting his senses back after our dr. jon lapook joins us from his new york home. jon, good morning. >> good morning, anthony. >> what more do we know about these new possible symptoms? >> well it's been fairly common. we've been hearing it on and off over the last couple of weeks people could have this transient or loss of smell and the question is, how long does it last? i reached out to ent last night, they've seen it with other respiratory infections and it can be transient but in some people long lasting, in some people it doesn't come back. we don't know if it's true for this new type of coronavirus people are concerned but for now it's a cool. if's that's the only symptom you have it's a clue to say i should
8:05 am
self-quarantine, this could be the only symptom and it's not of the covid-19. it's not a very common symptom. if you lose your sense of smell it's something you should tell your health care provider about and you should self-isolate, self-quarantine. >> fever is the one you should be looking for, that's very common. gastrointestinal symptoms means different things to different people. what should they be looking for in that context? >> well, this is right up my alley. i'm a gastroenterologist. there was a study of about 200 people out of hubei, china. almost 50% had some g.i. symptoms but 80% was loss of appetite, that's non-specific but 17% had diarrhea, to be a pro-drome, happen a couple days before you have the other symptoms so it could be the only symptom, that's something for people to watch out for.
8:06 am
2% this vomiting, 1% had abdominal pain. it's the diarrhea, it's a new symptom, this is a new disease to us, and we're finding things out all the time. >> the world health organization, the w.h.o. said 80% of the people have mild symptoms. number one, what does that mean exactly, and if you have mild symptoms, what should you do? >> mild symptoms this time of year when you have flu season, allergy season, cold season it's anything from just mild sniffle, cough, fever, sore throat. now we're hearing diarrhea. these are things that people get and they think is it covid-19 or just something i've had in past years so i think what people are saying to do now is, unless you have severe symptoms, severe symptoms being fever, shortness of breath, along with a cough, and you just maybe you're just feeling lousier and lousier and lousier, those are symptoms that you reach out to your health care provider and try to figure
8:07 am
out how to get in to see somebody. if you're having these other symptoms, everybody wants to you stay home because the last thing we want you to do is come into a hospital unannounced or a doctors office unannounced and spread covid-19 to other people. if you have these symptoms that you think you may be having, covid-19, call somebody, whether it's your health care provider, you don't have that, call a hotline, a lot of the state departments have it, or call the emergency room and get some advice from a distance, telemedicine or just on the phone. >> all right, jon lapook, glad to see you. glad you moved the shot a little. i was watching you on norah's show and i saw the "o" and the "n." it says office. >> people are learning more about you met on an app. delete it.

8:14 am
care to expand production of much-needed ventilators each month to treat coronavirus patients. some very good news there. ford is also using its 3d printing factories to produce face shields, more good news. the ceo of ford motor joins us from michigan for his first tv interview during this crisis. good morning, mr. hackett. >> good morning, thank you for having me. >> to paraphrase my favorite line, this is not the first company the ford motor company has gone to war. now in the war against the virus you'll be making ventilators. how soon can we see ventilators roll off the line that was making ford explorers not too long ago. >> it's chronicled in the arsenal of democracy about building a bomber every 63 minutes and we also built
8:15 am
ventilators for premature babies and iron lungs when there was the polio epidemics so these are ford folks at their best and this is a complicated product, the ventilator. you mentioned the one with ge, i talked to larry culp via e-mail and the teams are working closely. there are parts that could be subdivided to suppliers and there's a parallel that prime minister boris johnson has asked for our support in the uk and we're working with mclaren and airbus and there's a product there coming to market. we're producing hundreds of thousands of these ventilators in the future. how long do you think it will take to get them out to hospitals? >> well, that's a great question. you know, the problem is that the lines that have been in place produce hundreds or thousands. we're talking about meeting hundreds of thousands just to put that in perspective, an f-150. one is built every 52 seconds. the ventilators we need to scale
8:16 am
as these collective companies come together. we need to scale up something like that. so we're talking about early june where we don't think it's a problem, but between now and june it's about ramping up. >> and how exactly are you doing it, jim, since a lot of the ford plants have closed due to the coronavirus? how are you making this happen? ? that's a great question because part of the place dependent work spaces that require people to be on site, a factory is all about working together on a line. so the that way these teams are designing the production of this is building sub-assemblies and smaller groups and having them come together to be assembled and we'll make extremely safe places and let me point out that in addition to the ventilator there's probably a bigger need for these positive air pressure masks and these are masks that cover the face of our caregivers that move air inside of it and this veer us has a tendency to want to enter through your eye, believe it or not, so the air
8:17 am
helps protect them and we have, like in our cooling system in seats, we have little fans that we can backward integrate into a new design for these positive air pressure masks. so those products, in addition to the ventilators there's two or three different versions of breathing apparatus that we're working on. hundreds of thousands of the most simplet ones will be started to be produced in the next week or so. so i'm really excited about both of those fronts getting things active. >> that is exciting news. shifting toed oth the other sid this crisis, there are an estimated 9 million jobs tied to the auto industry from the assembly line to the car dealerships and we're looking at estimates of a 90% drop in car sales as people stay home. how is that going to affect all those jobs? >> well, our primary mission right now the way bill ford and i talk about this and this is what you get with family driving
8:18 am
companies. our first care is for our people. back in '08, ford didn't take a bailout. the company borrowed enough money to take care of itself back then. we have a fortress balance sheet today so what we're trying to do is get through this quarantine period where everyone has a job and then on the other side quickly rebuild demand and in fact, something came from our experience in china where people continued to order vehicles online. so this is a really good opportunity to have a quaiscale quickly -- >> mr. hackett -- >> we're working with the uaw where everyone will come back to work. >> i know you tapped into a $15 billion line of credit to get through this. how long are you anticipating it will last? >> you know, i have -- in my head, i think, you know, early may because we can see what happened in china. we can see what happened in south korea, and i'm hopeful

what the "daily show" is for. i try to tell you everything happening from italy to spain, to china and australia u.s. to. give the news context which we're lacking especially now. >> how do we deal with the humor? sometimes i struggle with this. is it okay to laugh during these times but at the same time we do need to laugh. >> well, here's the thing we need to remember, gayle. number one the world is not ending. i think that's a strange case we're living in now. it feels apocalyptic. we're trying to preserve the health of millions of people around the world not just old people but young people who are in the icu as well. just because you're uruguayan doesn't mean coronavirus is not a threat to you. if the hospital system has become overwhelmed now your health, youth will be at risk because now the doctors can't help you to get better as a young person. so for me laughing during this
8:37 am
period is helping people stay indoors. that's what we need to do. we need to stay away from each other because if the u.s. has a 15 day period but nobody is doing anything different for 15 days then there's no point to the period. for me the laughing is my way of going hey we're still in this. we're still human beings. we still have a reason to live. we got to take it seriously. but also not the end of the world and i think we have to fine that balance. >> one of the things you learn quickly in a job like this one you shouldn't go to the internet for a feedback on how you're doing. people can say the meanest thing. i'm curious what you're doing how do you find out where the lines are. how do you figure out what's working and what is not. what you see in the comment section is not reflective of the general public. >> i'll be honest. i think people in my sphere has become more positive during this time. people are searching for human interaction and genuine
8:38 am
interactions. twitter has become more angry, but i find a lot of people reaching out. you hear these stories like you talked about earlier about facebook groups being created to help older people in communities. you hear about people helping kids distance learn. there's positive things for people coming together on social media. only negative feedback i got i had a plant that was behind me where i taped the show and it was dying and people chastised me for having a dying plant. so now i got a fake one to leave here forever. new said something funny the other day about how people order stuff at the store and they don't even know what they are organized. i ordering avocados. i've never done an avocado stuff. i order this random stuff. there's no rhyme or reason. >> that's thing. people are panicking. people are panicking. again people are panicking because there's no centralized source of information that
8:39 am
anybody trusts. everyone runs to the store. i witnessed people buying random things just because there's a random thing on the shelf. like i would feel bad but if you just went to the store and grabbed something oh, god they still got cheese puffs everybody would start grabbing the cheese puffs. we don't need to panic. there's enough food. whenever people panic the production line gets trained. people need to calm down. if we breathe and work through this thing we can come out on the other side even better than we did. we just have to breath. >> it's time for a major reset for the country. >> i think that's coming. >> and the planet that hopefully will be better off. better human beings living in a better world. i believe that. can't go through this for nothing. >> the key thing is more than anything, that's what people need to look at now is every american, every person living in america needs to look at the government and see how they are planning to protect people. i know everybody wants to
8:40 am
protect businesses but people need to understand businesses are a collection of people and if people have food and if people can survive, people can rebuild businesses, but businesses as we've shown unfortunately will hoard money. so we have to find a balance between keeping businesses alive and human beings alive. not just old people but a lot of low-income people in this commune and the world they won't be able to sustain themselves if they can't work. >> very well said. i'll be watching you tonight. thank you so much for taking the time this morning. z >> i'll imagine your laughs when i carry on. >> see the daily social distancing show week nights on comedy central which solicitor general a division of viacom cbs. >> coronavirus pandemic is putting a lot of stress on children as their lives are up ended. ahead psychologist madeline levine joins us

we have breaking news for you. the japanese prime minister says he and the head of the international olympic committee have agreed to delay the tokyo summer olympics by about one year. this is in response, of course, to the global coronavirus pandemic. japan said the delay will not extend beyond the summer of 2021. this certainly not a surprise. when are they finally going say
8:45 am
so. >> athletes were asking for it. >> there's millions of people shift working from home, the american academy of pediatrics is offering advice to stressed out parents. it's telling them to practice self-care, reach out to others and watch out for signs of increased stress in children. the association warns this could lead to more frustration for the entire family. psychologist madeline levine is author of "ready or not." she joins us from san francisco. good morning and welcome. thank you. >> thank you. >> how do we prepare our kids for something like this? >> you know, we've never had something like this. it's no wonder people are feeling at odds in terms of figuring out what to do with their kids. i think there's some basic things that are really important with children. depending on their age. people talk about children as if
8:46 am
they are all the same. but they are not. every family is different and children think very differently at different ages. so the way you talk to a 5-year-old is not how you talk to an 11-year-old, not how you talk to a 15-year-old. and i think people need to keep that in mind. >> so let's take it in order then. that younger bracket of kids, say 5-year-olds. how do you talk about a virus and potentially deadly virus with people that young? >> i think you don't, frankly. i think less is more with young children. i think for the most part kids get their sense of what's going on, not so much from your words, young kids, but from your body language and your tones, so they are going to be vaguely curious. their answers, why are we home? we're home to keep everyone safe. why are we not seeing grandma? we'll see grandma soon. not grandma sane high risk group
8:47 am
and we have to be careful she doesn't get sick. >> we're laughing but it's for say that. i actually thing body language and tone is important at any age, to be honest with you. but let me ask you about -- go ahead. >> yeah. >> pre-teens. >> it's absolutely, just particularly important with younger children who live in a land of magic. don't really understand the nuances of what's going on now. >> let's go to pre-teen and teenagers. >> right. so they are really a challenge. i got more calls about them than any other group. i think because they are just at a stage where nothing matters more than their friends. and so if you tell them they are not going out and they can't see and teenagers live in the moment, they like risks, they like taking risks, it makes them feel good. actually the calls i've gotten
8:48 am
at the end of the day my advice is if my kid won't listen to you, you have to bring the hammer down. it's not just about your kid. >> a lot of parents are under tremendous financial stress, jobs lost, questions of 401(k)s. body language and tone may be out the window. how honest should people be with their kids about what they are going through? >> i think the sense for kids always has to be we've got this. and that's hard to do when you have no idea whether you got it or not. but i think you have to go back to your own bucket of coping skills. we all have coping skills and you have to, before you get involved with your kids, pull up your coping skills. i just wrote this book about an uncertain world and then on your program the week it came out last month and then all hell breaks loose, right? and i think people were not
8:49 am
prepared. we certainly knew that there was going to be some big time of uncertainty in this country. but we weren't prepared for this particular one, i think we have to make sure that we're deep breathing and i have a family, the whole family deep breathes before they go to sleep at night. it helps. don't be afraid to discuss. we have to be developmentally appropriate. we have to teach kids coping skills and have to give them a little bit of control. >> the simple things sometimes are the most effective. madeline levine, thank you very much. before we go how social distancing is creating some moving bitter dare celebrations. we'll be right back.
