difference. it's friday, march 27th, 2020. here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we have tens of thousands of cases. this is a pandemic that we haven't even seen since -- for over 100 years. >> unthinkable just weeks ago, the u.s. has more confirmed cases of the deadly coronavirus than any other country in the world. >> it's a tribute to the testing. we're testing tremendous numbers of people. >> the house expected to follow the senate in passing a $2 trillion stimulus package designed to address the coronavirus pandemic. >> we'll have debate, and then we'll have a voice vote. >> u.s. markets rallied yesterday. the third straight day of gains. >> the most hideous jobless claims number in history, this is the best three-day run since 1931. >> nichololas maduro has been
7:02 am
charged. >> r. kelly is asking for a judge to release him from jail because of the covid-19 outbreak. >> a new york doughnut shop is honoring dr. anthony fauci trying to help america through the coronavirus pandemic. >> and all that matters. >> hello, joe biden. >> what's that hat you have on? >> new york mets. supposed to be opening day. >> opening day. >> wow. >> you know what this is not the way to win voters, mr. vice president. >> i tell you what, it's the way to be able to sleep with my wife. she's a philly girl. >> on cbs this morning. >> one little girl isn't particularly pleased with the thought of more home cooking. >> chinese food. >> chinese is closed, too. >> that is literally all of us. it's amazing. bless her heart. >> all deliveries.
7:03 am
you've got to eat mommy's cooking now. i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> just a glimpse into what's going on in homes all around the world with this home isolation. welcome to "cbs this morning." it's been a very long week but we're really glad to be here. >> we are. even if there's a little distance between us. >> we're coming to you from the historic ed sullivan theater in new york. it's usually home to the "late show with stephen colbert" which is on hiatus. the cbs broadcast center where we normally do the news is closed out of an abundance of caution. >> the late show returns on monday but they won't be here. stephen and his team will be working remotely. and there are only two of us here because anthony mason is a-okay but he's joining us from home throughout this show.
7:04 am
he's there because a family member may have a symptom of the virus but everyone is fine. >> and anthony has not forgotten us. we've not forgotten him. we'll see him later in the broadcast. the u.s. now has more reported cases of the coronavirus than any other country in the world. think about that for just a second. there are more than 85,000 across all 50 states. the death toll is about 1300. there are stay-at-home orders in at least 23 different states. >> new york city remains the national epicenter of the pandemic. it has more than a quarter of those sickened so far. and this is overwhelming the city's hospitals and first responders. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in new york. dafrksd good morning. what are you hearing? >> the number of hospital zags s hospitalizations in new york jumped. we continue to make calls to doctors and nurses around the city telling us harrowing stories of what's happening inside. but a lot of them don't feel comfortable talking on camera
7:05 am
because they're worried about either being fired. and some of them are worried their hospital may not tell the truth of what is happening inside. but there are some who do feel comfortable coming forward. and that's where we're going to start this morning. >> the hospitals look like a war zone. >> dr. ibbad youseff says the emergency room is overwhelmed and medical staff he's been talking to across new york city are describing similar scenes. >> people lining up out of the hallway through the ambulance bay with masks on themselves, with oxygen on their nose, oxygen on their face. >> elmhurst hospital in queens saw 13 people die in 24 hours on wednesday. to relieve the overcrowding, some patients have been moved to other facilities. and the hospital has added more than 50 additional staff. >> people come in. they get intubated. they die. the cycle repeats. >> it's a catastrophe.
7:06 am
>> reporter: marya sherron's brother worked as an assistant nurse manager at mt. sinai in manhattan. as a child, he suffered from severe asthma. he died after testing positive for the coronavirus. he didn't want his parents to know, so he sent his sister a text saying, can't talk because i choke and can't breathe. he was on a ventilator then. the last thing he did was send her an "i love you" emoji. >> the sentiment from inside the workers at that hospital was that he was un -- as well as everyone else, they're unnecessarily exposed. and essentially it could have been prevented. >> yesterday, in a 24-hour time period over 6500 calls which is a record for ems. >> reporter: anthony almojera is a senior executive with an ems officers union in new york. emergency workers are being stretched thin. and he is afraid of the exposure his workers are facing
7:07 am
consistently. this is what his worst case scenario is. >> somebody dies. a paramedic or emt is going to die. we have members who work with us who have underlying medical conditions. we have them go home. they go home and grandma is home and they have emphysema, grandma gets it. grandma dies. >> reporter: regarding that nurse who died at mt. sinai hospital, a doctor sent me an internal memo from the hospital which says we have always provided and will always provide our staff with proper protective equipment and we van adequate supply. we also heard from a doctor who says he tested positive, went home for a week, had no fever for three days, and was asked to come back to work. so we wanted to know what are hospitals telling their doctors? we called 20 of them around the city. we heard back from 8. this is what they told us. if a worker has symptoms, they go home for 7 days. once that worker is asymptomatic, has no more symptoms and once they're fever-free for three days, they can come back to work. even if they're positive. >> oh, boy, david.
7:08 am
that's so hard to hear. it's really tough when even the people that we need to help us now need help. it's very, very troubling situation. thank you very much. monday marks the end of the administration's 15-day slow the spread initiative. president trump has said he'll then make a decision about how he wants to move the country forward. paula reid is at the white house with more on this story. good morning, paula. where does the president currently stand on this? >> good morning, gayle. the president still appears to want to send at least some americans back to work, but in order to do that, he needs help from state and local leaders who do not appear to be fully on board, especially now that the u.s. leads the world in the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus. >> we have to go back. this is the united states of america. >> reporter: on thursday, president trump deflected blame for an historic surge in unemployment. >> well, it's nobody's fault. certainly not in this country. >> reporter: and revealed new details about how he plans to encourage state and local
7:09 am
leaders to reopen businesses. in a letter to state governors, he said the white house plans to categorize every county in america as high, medium or low risk. >> we may take large sections of our country that aren't so seriously affected and we may do it that way. but we've got to start the process pretty soon. >> reporter: but one of his top coronavirus experts, dr. deborah birx, says counties should not resume normal life until there's more data from expanded testing. >> this will be critical for our future as we work together to really understand where the virus is and where it isn't in realtime. >> reporter: as an increasing number of states issue shelter in place or stay-at-home orders, the president's push to loosen restrictions was met with some resistance. >> i'm concerned about the desire of the president to ignore potentially the science. >> reporter: cbs news learned that washington governor jay inslee, whose state has been especially hard hit by the outbreak had a contentious
7:10 am
exchange with president trump on a conference call with other governors thursday. after the president told the governors the federal government was a backup for them, inslee told them, we don't need a backup. we need a tom brady. the president also criticized michigan's governor gretchen whitmer, referring to her as the woman governor and saying that she failed to step up in her response to the virus. she shot back on twitter saying that she has asked repeatedly and respectfully for assistance and called for no more political attacks. >> paula, thank you. u.s. surgeon general dr. jerome adams is a member of the coronavirus task force and joins us from washington. dr. adams, good morning to you. thank you for being here. >> good morning. >> on this program on monday you warned americans that it was going to be a bad week, and that proved to be true. there was normal a tenfold increase in the number of official cases of coronavirus. can you say now on friday that the worst is still yet to come? >> well, it's important for people to know that everyone's
7:11 am
curve is going to be different. new york is going to look different than boise, idaho, or jackson, mississippi, or new orleans. and we know that this week was a particularly bad week for new york. the good news is that china, south korea, are reopening. italy looks like deaths and cases are going down and in washington and you heard the governor of new york actually say yesterday that their cases have actually leveled off in terms of new cases day by day. so we know we can get through this. >> definitely we can get through this, but as a country, should americans gird themselves for what's ahead? is the worst of this still ahead of us? >> well, again, it depends on where you are. we're hopeful next week new york will start to come down because their cases have started to level off. and that's because they've been aggressive about their mitigation efforts. we see that now the places that have been aggressive about staying at home, about keeping under groups of ten, have been successful. we also see hot spots like detroit, like chicago, like new orleans, that will have a worse week next week than what they had this week. so again, as tony fauci said,
7:12 am
the virus and local community are going to determine the timeline. it's not going to be us from washington, d.c. people need to follow their data, make the right decisions based on what their data is telling them. and the good news here is that we have seen testing increase significantly. we're approaching a million tests. we're trying to give people the data so they can make informed decisions about where they are on their timeline and what they should be doing. >> dr. adams, let's talk about ventilators. doctors and nurses around the country are saying, hello, government, we need ventilators. we need ventilators now. but president trump seems to have a different take on that. i want you to hear what he said last night and get your response to that. >> but i have a feeling that a lot of the numbers that are being said in some areas are just bigger than they are going to be. i don't believe you need 40,000 or 30,000 ventilators. you know, you go into major hospitals sometimes, they'll have two ventilators and now all of a sudden they're saying can we order 30,000 ventilators? >> dr. adams, the president, to
7:13 am
our knowledge, has no medical training yet he continues to question the advice from the medical experts and professionals. is that frustrating to you? >> well, you mentioned ventilators. and dr. birx said this. when you look at some of the projections out there, they are based on worst case scenarios and doing something. i heard a reporter yelling at peter navarro yesterday, where are the million ventilators. a million ventilators would mean 1 in 300 people in this country were on a ventilator at once. there is nowhere in the world where we've seen that type of spread of coronavirus, not even close. and so some of these projections are a way off. but we're leaning into supply. i was on a meeting with the american society of anesth anesthesiologists. and they're in communities -- >> we heard andrew cuomo ask for ventilators. he gave very specific numbers. do you think he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to this, when he's in constant contact with the top new york hospitals, by the way? >> well, i think that if you -- i think that's a fair question
7:14 am
and if you talk to experts, dr. fauci, dr. birx and others, the models in many cases are way off. new york city, we have people on the ground who have told us there are 1,000 ventilators sitting in a warehouse right now that haven't been used. governor cuomo yesterday said we have resources. they're just mismatched. so we sent a fema team to help new york city make sure the resources are getting to where they need. i talked to people in western new york who say they're furloughing hospitals in western new york state while people in new york city are suffering. we need to make sure we get the right resources to the right people. >> were you pleased with the government's response based on what you're saying to us? are you pleased with how things are going? >> pleased is -- i don't think a fair word because, gosh, there are people dying. my colleagues out there are suffering. i'm not pleased with the entirety of the -- >> okay, satisfied? are you satisfied?
7:15 am
take out pleased. are you satisfied? >> pardon? >> your satisfied with how things are going? >> i'm not going to be satisfied until we get to the end of this and we see cooperation at every level and health care workers getting what they need. >> dr. adams, you mentioned hot spots. and at the same time, the administration is putting out a letter to governors saying they may have tiers for risk. different areas of the country would open, others would not. given the lack of testing in many areas and given that one patient moving from one hot spot to a nonhot spot can ignite a whole new outbreak, how realistic to have those tiers? are there going to be bans on movement? >> you heard dr. birx say 19 out of our 50 states has been doing surveillance testing. and has shown consistently low rates of spread of coronavirus. we also know that the local authorities are the ones who make those decisions. i used to run a state health department for three years. we want to give people the tools they need to make the right decisions.
7:16 am
right now there are some places that are going to be new york city. other places that are going to see low spread. and we want them to have the information to make the right decisions. we're not going to make those decisions from d.c. we'll give them the tools, the advice, the data and it's guessing to be up to them to decide what they do. >> thank you very much, dr. adams, for being with us. we are hearing emotional stories from some of the record number of americans who filed for unemployment because of the pandemic. our national correspondent jericka duncan has been talking to people who are out of work. good morning. how are they coping? >> good morning to you anthony. they're doing the best that they can. we spoke to three people, two of them said they were laid off. another person said they were forced to lay off most of the employees. now while thousands of people in this country have tested positive for coronavirus, millions are feeling its effect on the workforce. >> i'm very scared.
7:17 am
>> reporter: 42-year-old michelle jarol of chicago is normally focused on fitness, but these days this wife and mother of two is worried about her family's finances. the studio where she works as a fitness instructor shut down last week. her husband's pay has been cut, too. what's the biggest bill your family is facing? >> my mortgage. am i going to be able to stay in this house knowing, you know, if i have credit card bills, car pyments, all those things add up. >> reporter: monday she filed for unemployment for the first time. >> took over an hour to get my information in the system. >> reporter: it's a reality millions of americans are now facing. >> a lot of them are struggling. a lot of them are scared. >> reporter: 40-year-old nyasha johnson also filed for unemployment and is trying to help her co-workers with that process. >> it's overwhelming and frustrating because i want to give them some type of closure
7:18 am
because i know how i feel. >> you are in the trenches with these people every day. >> and closure is something that matt bell says he's trying to get his employees. in 2017, he opened a car club and restaurant called the shop club in seattle. bell was set to expand to dallas this summer and double his staff. but because of coronavirus concerns, he laid off nearly 40 employees. >> i thought, what's the worst thing that can happen? there's no way we could have anticipated how things have changed lately. >> reporter: fitness instructor michelle jarol says she worries about what her industry looks like when this pandemic is over. will people feel comfortable working out in small places and crowds, if you will? she's so worried that she even said she's considering going back to her old job as a pharmaceutical sales rep, but fitness is her passion. so very concerned but most importantly about how she's going to pay -- how her family is going to pay those big bills.

7:32 am
figuring out drugs is always expensive. but philanthropy can do a job in kickstarting this. we're going to be donating $25 million with gates and others to get this started quickly and now. >> part of the idea here is that often a drug can be helpful against multiple diseases. you can basically take all those drugs that have already been screened as safe and test them to see if they might also have a positive impact for either preventing the coronavirus or reducing the symptoms and making it less damaging. >> mark, i look at facebook, the company, you've got something like 45,000 people who are now working at home. please tell me the challenges of working with that. >> we basically asked everyone to stay home. even if you can't practically do your work from home, we'll make sure you get paid in full for your time through this period. and i hope that that can set an example for some of the other companies out there. >> we don't know how long this period is going to be. >> that's true. but there are a lot of companies that i think can afford to take

8:05 am
this test will show, you can't get the virus again at least for short term. we don't know long term because the virus has only been around since december. >> how do you know if you have it when you can reenter society? >> i forgot someone named gayle asked a question. it is three days after symptoms are totally gone, and seven days at least since the beginning of symptoms. if you meet those two criteria, you can go out. >> a question from a viewer named dave. is there any proof the coronavirus can be caught by pets? is it go to our pets? >> a lot of people want to know about pets. there's no evidence to date to suggest that pets can either be a source of infection or that they can contract covid-19. that being said, there really is a lack of data and research in this area. so the cdc says if you are suspected to have covid-19 or you've tested positive, you really do want to maintain distance from your pet the same way you would from humans.

you want to avoid the kissing, snuggling petting you love to do. and if there's someone else in your home that can help take care of your pet, you want to ask them to help out. if it must be you that does it, make sure you wash your hands before and after you interact with your pet. >> i've got a question for jill which comes from a viewer named elaine who wants to know does the $1200 relief check that's being sent to individuals include retired seniors? >> absolutely. it does. so even if the only source of income is social security, you will get this check as long as you fall below that $75,000 threshold and even if you don't file taxes, don't worry. the government will access your information through the social security system. so seniors, you too will be getting checks. >> jill, i have another one for you. it comes from debbie. she says she's been out of work for two weeks. she wants to know when will people see their unemployment
8:07 am
money? >> i'm hearing from at lot of people around the states. usually states have a one-week waiting period. they're encouraged to waive that, but because of the flood of claims, we saw over 3 million in a week, it's stopping up the system. i'm hopeful you get this in the coming week. two or three weeks is what we're hearing from the crowded states where there are tons of claims. >> david, the weather is getting warmer every day, and one viewer here on instagram are we learning anything from stauds that look at the weather and virus effects? >> not yet. it's just too new. the virus began in december. the hope is that other viruses can go away as temperature goes up. oh so we don't know, but we know our behavior changes and as temperature goes up, you're out of doors. the uv sunlight degrades the virus. the virus is not alive. will temperature itself get rid of the parol. >> caller: -- particles? we don't know. i hope. >> this is for tara. it comes from a viewer named

julie who is 64 years old. has asthma wants to know about nonessential doctor visits. she asks is it safe to go to a chiropractor? >> julie is over 60 with asthma both of which are going to put her at increased risk. look at who you are and your vulnerabilities and what the service and visit is for. if it's urgent and your doctor or the health professional may want to see you. if it is not urgent, most doctor's offices are rescheduling and pushing patient visits out at least 45 days or so. this is a great point where telehealth or telemedicine can be useful. lots of doctor's offices are doing it for more nonurgent issues. >> this is denise on facebook who says, so workers who are laid off due to the coronavirus, will they get their full pay through the unemployment
8:09 am
department? >> no, they probably will not. so there are going to be two tiers of unemployment. one is through your state of residence. that's 26 weeks. that usually covers between 40 % to 50%. state specific. and then the government program that will tack on 13 weeks to whatever the maximum is in your state, and will also provide you with $600 a week for four months through july. so you've got to check with your state. probably you'll end up at maybe 70% or 80% of your pay prior to the virus. >> there's a viewer named doug with a question that i share as well. if you get the $1200 stimulus check, do you have to pay taxes on that? >> no. you don't. that would be a weird double whammy. there's one issue. because you're basing your check on your adjusted gross income, line 8b an your tax return. if you have not filed for 2019, they're going to look at your
8:10 am
2018 returns. the only adjustment that could be made is if your income really changes, maybe goes higher in 2019. i don't think that's going to be a problem for most of the people who are involved here. >> anthony? >> oh, sorry. i thought you guys were picking that up. this is for david. it comes from diane on facebook who asks since this is an illness that attacks the lungs, if you had the pneumonia vaccine, does that provide some protection against the severe symptoms? >> great question. the answer is no. the vaccine is against a particular bacteria that can cause ma knopneumonia. the vaccine will not effect your response to the virus. >> and tara, this comes from vanessa on facebook. she wants to know i keep seeing
8:11 am
posts about people making masks for the medical professionals. is this actually okay? and approved? >> well, so the surgical masks and the m 95s are certified and regulated. they're tested with how they fit, how permeable are. that being said in a crisis situation which we are in and hearing from the front line workers, any sort of a barrier, even if it's a cloths mask, may help prevent the large droplets from entering the nose or mouth of the it can workers. there are hospitals in the country that are accepting donations. others are not. you need to check in the local area where you live. but certainly it is inspiring to see how many people have stepped up to try to help. >> tara, i have a question. we'll stick with you here. it's one that's come up with my house. we're washing your hands constantly. our skin is dry. we get cracks, and not only are
8:12 am
they painful, but my question is when you have cracks on your hand, are you more susceptible to touching something and having the virus get inside you? >> well, it's not really that the virus would get in through the skin. that's not really a portal of entry. but we know that your hands if they touch droplets and then you touch your face, you can certainly spread it that way to the nose or the mouth or the eyes. so you definitely want to be careful about where you're putting your hands and where you're touching. that's why we say hands below the neck if possible. i know it's possible, but really try. >> david, i want to follow up on the stay home stay safe. more and more people are self-quarantining. is it okay to go outside to just walk around the park? is that safe? because somebody told me no, you shouldn't even go outside because you can pick it up in the air. you can pick it up on your feet when you're walking around. what is the truth about that? >> yeah. it's okay to go outside.

uv sunlight does degrade the virus. you need to maintain social distance. there's talk in new york of closing streets to make it easier for people to walk in the street and have the social distance. we're going to go stir crazy if we're sitting in a room staring at four walls. >> can you pick it up on your shoes walking in the street? >> i can't imagine the virus is going to carry through on your shoes. that being said, you can always leave your shoes at the door if you're worried. >> i know. honestly, everybody is so on edge. the slightest little thing sort of sets you off. t good to know the facts and nothing but the facts? . >> a lot of good information there. thank you. check line 8 b of your tax will your honors -- returns to see if you're going to get the stimulus. >> we'll answer more of your questions on instagram and you can text 310-299-9322.
