sons and their friends. ♪ ♪ >> announcer: this morning's "eye opener" friended by toyota. we'll see more of that shaq attack. it just makes you smile. welcome from our house to yours. out of an bundle to caution, we're coming from our respective homes this morning. you heard us talk about social distancing. we are certainly doing that, as we hope you are too. but the most important things, as you know, is we continue bringing you the news throughout this crisis. that, of course, is where we begin. anthony on this april fool's day, i wish it was one big bad joke, but unfortunately it's not. it's reality and it's not good. >> and it's getting more serious. we started here this morning, the white house is warning americans about a grim reality still to come. in a blunt press conference,

president trump's coronavirus task force says we should be prepared for another 100,000 to 240,000 americans to lose their lives before the pandemic is over. that is up 60 times -- that's up to 60 times the current death toll, more than 4,000 lives have been lost in the first month of the crisis. the vast majority just in the past week. around 900 people died yet, setting another single-day record. weijia jiang is at the white house. the administration has mostly touted success, but yesterday's briefing was markedly different. >> reporter: good morning. the president's previous attempts to downplay the virus, he says, was he was trying to be positive. but now he's being blunt. >> it's a matter of life and

death. >> reporter: he warned americans the worst is yet to come. >> this could be a hell of a bad two weeks. >> reporter: the number of keyses have not peaked. top health officials told people to prepare for the reality that 100 to 240,000 americans could guy, and that's with mitigating efforts we need to anticipate this, but that doesn't mean we'll accept it. >> they pleaded with the public to stay at home, and cap gatherings with ten people. >> it's inconvenient from a societal standpoint, from an economic standpoint to go through this, but this is going to be the answer to our problems. >> there's no magic bullet. there's no magic vaccine or therapy. it's just behaviors. >> reporter: just last week president trump said he hoped d them the virus was not as bad as

the flu. >> the flu in our country kills from 25,000 people to 69,000 people a year. that was shocking to me. and so far, if you look at what we have with the 15 people and they're recovering, one is pretty sick, but hopefully will recover. the others are in great shape. >> reporter: now mr. trump is sending a very different message. >> a lot of people have thought about it. ride it out. don't do anything, just ride it out. think of it as the flu, but it's not the flu. it's vicious. >> reporter: new york governor andrew cuomo says governors are still bidding against each other for medical supplies. two weeks ago president trump said states should try to get them on their own, but yesterday he said the government has 10,000 ventilators ready to go, but they are waiting to ship,

because the surge is coming. they want to make sure to send the machines to the right places when it does. gayle? >> weijia, thank you. for more on theff in dr. da. dr. fauci says don't get discouraged. we keep hearing it's going to be another different couple weeks, which is also frightening. the projections are 240,000 americans could die. so my question is -- how do we not get discouraged? why are the numbers jumping so high so quickly? >> we have had made an impact. with no behavior change, it could be millions dying. many of us are, as you're doing now, staying in your home, social distancing, and really playing by the rules. some are not. some parts of theount tal to spup.

there really needs to be a step up. states like florida and texas have to step up more. we all have to stop the spread and we will make an impact. we have to look at the medical care. can we optimize it? can other states learn from new yo york? >> dr. birx said there's no magic bullet, it's just behavior. do you think now we have to have a federal mandated law, where people are just ordered, this is what you have to do? >> listen, this is my opinion only. the answer is yes. i think we need to get as a country we need leadership. the leadership needs to come from the federal government saying, hey, as a country we're all going to step up, we are in this together. if a few people do the wrong thing, it hurts everybody. we saw that picture this weekend of a beach in florida that was totally empty, because that le.theach.d nobodyano

oon as you liyouee people lined up and smushed together. we can't have that. your behavior affects your neighbor and vice versa. >> what do the new models show about the difference in cases between new york and new jersey, compared to other parts of the country? >> well, you know, new york and new jersey, the united states is the epicenter of this virus in the country. new york and new jersey are the epicenter of the epicenter. people are smushed into subways and on the street before this happened, enabled pretty rapid spread. my hope is the same slopes don't happen. when you look at cities like los angeles and san francisco, just a couple weeks away they at the exact same point as new york city is now. so i think the started earlier

distancing, and it works. it ain't fun, it ain't good for our pocketbook, but it works. we all have to do it and be very strict about it. >> you know, everybody keeps hoping treatment vaccine, what can you tell us about the latest treatments? anything? >> there's a study out yesterday from china where they randomized hydroxychloroquine versus standard care. it wasn't the best study. you can complain it was chinese doctors, and do we trust the data, but there was a dramatic improvement in the group that got hydroxychloroquine, and that's about all the data we have. i hope and pray the data in the united states comes soon, that we can learn from every encounter. i want to know what's working. that's critical to flattening the curve. thank you very much, dr. agus. tony? very interesting hearing the doctor say there may be a

federal need for a law requiring people to stay home. while the projection are scary, they're not destiny. we have the potential to change that. the reports, particularly here in new york, some 300 people dead just yesterday, bringing the total here in new york city to 1700 -- new york state, rather. mola lenghi, what's that ship in the hudson river going to be used for? >> reporter: good morning, the "comfort" will be used for non-coronavirus patients. it's fully equipped with a laboratory, a dozens operating rooms and a pharmacy. the state of new york has significantly increased the number of beds, up to 75,000, but given the rate this virus is spreading, he says we will very likely need twice that many.

a grim sight that's b repeated outside several hospitals in the new york metro area, workers in brooklyn are seeing putting a corpse in a refrigerated truck. hospitals across the city say the icus are nearly full. >> it's surreal, knowing i'm in a disaster zone in new york city. >> reporter: the governor says the peak could still be three weeks away. >> we're all in search of the apex, the other side of the mountain. we are still headed up the mountain. >> reporter: among the state's new cases, the governor's brother, cnn anchor chris cuomo. >> scared, yes, as you might imagine. >> is it surprising that more of us are testing positive than ever before? >> reporter: nearly 400 workers having tested positive. >> we're not actually able to do what's recommended to the rest of the country, which is stay at

home. >> reporter: more than n nashvi tennessee, including clara summers, who just celebrated her 89th birthday. >> i could see her one more time. >> reporter: a see. the "uss theodore roosevelt" is in guam, nearly 100 infected. the captain said removing all by 10% of the crew is a necessary risk to stop the virus from spreading. >> you have very limited room where you sleep. it's like bisquing. >> monica's daughter she yen is on board. >> i'm not saying please send my daughter home. she's in the navy, she can handle it, but at the same time,

take care of your people. >> reporter: prisons have struggled to keep inmates safe. nationally inmates will be contained to their cells for the next two weeks in order to try to stop the spreading of the virus. gayle? all right. mola, thank you. california has more than 8500 cases. the patients in intensive care has nearly tripled. governor newsom says the crisis would be much worse if the state had not taken strong action. our ana werner spoke with the governor. >> reporter: what does that data say to you? >> it's too early to judge it, but the reality is the state was quick to move on social distancing. as a consequence, i think some of those actions may prove fruitful. >> it meant locking down the bay area on march 17th, the entire state days later, all to slow the pace of infection, to give

the state a precious resource -- time. what is it about the time that is so important? >> time's everything. every hour, every minute of every hour, every day is a day we'll never get . him, newsen says, was a chance to bring in more equipment. this week, thousands more medical personnel. >> every single day is an opportunity to save lives. that's what we have bought here in california. that's what i'm currently focused on. not the models. i want to prepare for the worst. >> reporter: los angeles county has not seen the worst yet, but already cases are under investigation at 18 nursing homes. at one home in san bernardino county, two people have died, more than 50 are infected. los angeles mayor eric garcetti is preparing residents for the long haul. >> this will last at least two months, could last a third.

there's not a life switch that goes on and life comes back to normal. >> reporter: statewide, nursing are protesting a serious shortage of protective gear. there aren't enough ventilators, and the governor worries about something harder to fix. >> i worry most about fatigue. i worry that people say, you know what? we got this, let's have that birthday party and mix some of the extended cousins together. if we do that too soon, we're in trouble. >> i talked about a parachute. >> quite literally being in a parachute and cutting the cord before you land. no one in their right mind would do that. >> reporter: in this emergency, california is hoping for the softest landing possible. anna werner, sacramento. this morning at least half of the 50 states have at least 1,000 coronavirus cases. health officials, health care workers are telling frightening stories of working without the

critical medical supplies they need. one doctor at a chicago hospital gave our correspond -- david a look. >> we heard there was a doctor on the west side that started a gofundme page to raise money to buy personal protective equipment for his team. we interviewed the doctor while he was on duty in the e.r. there were other doctors attending the patients, no one went without care, but it was sobering to talk about what's happening at work and at home. >> i've been an e.r. doctor for 16 years. i've been through the sars and ebola scare, influenza, um, this is the most scared i've ever been being an e.r. doctor. it's no for me, it's because i have a wife and a 2-year-old and 1-year-old at home. i don't want to expose them.

it's hard when i go home i have to distance myself from my kids, sometimes my wife, and it's always in my head. like, did i wash my hands enough? enough alcohol? did i shower hot enough? i worry about my family. i can't see it. with the traumas and the gunshots i know it's okay, i leave it at work. but this i can't. >> you are going to hear much more from the doctor in our next hour at 8:00 a.m. you'll hear from one of you're colleagues who walked in during our interview, what was brought into the e.r. during the interview and you'll hear the doctor say what he thinking all of us can do to help them. anthony? all right. david, thank you very much. we will see more of david's revealing look inside that chicago hospital coming up on "cbs this morning."

later in the broadcast, including what happened the to every corner of this country. so you can trust us to be here for you... ...as we remain committed to supporting our community. because the toyota family is stronger together. this is our pledge.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." as you see, we're coming to you from our homes out of caution over this coronavirus outbreak. president trump says following social distancing guidelines is, quote, a matter of life and death, and we are getting that message. he spoke yesterday as the white house made a grim prediction that up to 240,000 americans will die during this pandemic. officials expect major spikes in the death toll during the next two weeks. tony, goodness, that is news nobody wants to hear. that's why it is so important to follow the rules. >> yeah, that's right. this is a health crisis, but it's also an economic crisis. today is the 1st of the month. that means bills are often due. millions of americans trying to

make a decision how are they going to pay them, should they pay them? we remind you that the federal reserve bank of st. louis, a federal economist, estimated that 47 million americans could lose their jobs as companies affected by the virus cut their staff. millions have already lost their job. we visited one small business that had to cut most of its work force. and we spoke with people on both sides of that very painful decision. >> you know, i get it. this has never happened before. this has never happened before. >> reporter: dave anel gets why his company let him go. but when we visited his house last week, he still hadn't figured out what to do about it. april 1st, are you going to make a mortgage payment or not? >> good question. we haven't even talked about that. >> reporter: at the start of march, just four weeks ago, his company, corporate a.v., washis spring. joe guilderson is the owner. >> before the virus, actually

things were looking great. we were full steam. we had two probably of the best months we've ever had. >> reporter: ever. >> yeah. we were on track for a full spring season. >> reporter: then the pandemic and bans on large gatherings. >> every day i go to work, more jobs are being taken off the board. more jobs. more jobs. then it was like, okay, now there's a problem. now there's a serious problem. >> reporter: those jobs represented about $800,000 in revenue, roughly a fifth of what guilderson expected to take in this year. it forced a question facing business owners across the country -- with no money coming in and costs piling up, how many people to lay off. according to research by typic small business has less than a month of cash reserves to survive a situation like in. >> it was gut wrenching, to be honest. not a lot of sleep the night before knowing what was going to

happen. >> reporter: overnight, corporate a.v. went from 20 employees to 6. what was it like to get the call from joe saying your position is not here anymore? >> i wasn't surprised. >> reporter: mo johnson had worked for the company for more than 20 years. >> you got to do something. my thing is, do whatever you can to save the company. save the ship. we'll swim to shore, save the ship. when we get back on the ship, we can go again. but if the ship's not there, you know, that's the problem. >> reporter: what kind of severance package do people get. >> not much. to be honest. we had a week's worth of income basically to provide them. i think everyone in the group really said, listen, you got to keep this thing afloat. i need someplace to come back to. you know, and that i figure is my job. >> reporter: you still have one more check or direct deposit comi coming? >> pretty much.

that's it. >> reporter: anel admits he's still processing the shock of losing his job and his family's health insurance. his wife claudia says they were already living paycheck to paycheck. if you could get a meeting tomorrow with leaders and n congress -- leaders in congress, what would you like them to know about what a family like yours needs? >> i think i would ask for a better sense of stability. you're just constantly worried about like can i make this payment, can i put my kid, you know, can i get a doctor. >> reporter: even before -- >> even before. >> reporter: now it underscores how important those things are. >> absolutely. >> reporter: yeah. what kind of situation are you in in terms of money in the bank? >> same as everybody. i don't really have a lot of money. >> reporter: they'll get help from unemployment insurance and the stimulus package. there may also be power in numbers. with so many businesses closed and so many people idle, there's hope that out of work doesn't mean out of luck. >> as a nation, you know, they can't say, oh, these people were

deenrats, we kick them at or take away this or that. there's going to be some solace to it. so i believe that. >> need to stop the mortgage payments. need to stop all the phone payments. they need to stop all that for a couple of months. at least 90 days or something to have people object their feet, you know -- people on their feet, you know. >> is it easier or harder to deal with this knowing there's nothing you did personally to cause it? >> i guess if there was a moral grounds that would be a victory. unfortunately that doesn't help right this second. when you reflect on kind of what you've had to go to in 14 or 15 years to kind of build something up and help all the people you like to think you've helped, it's frustrating. >> and that right threw is a microcosm of what millions of small businesses are goi no guilderson says he does hope to hire back the entire staff eventually, but it could take a while to ramp things up. this was supposed to be their

busiest season, and instead they're looking at business not picking up perhaps until the fall. now anthony, i want to point out, this really matters for all americans because most americans, in fact, work for what is defined as a small business. so it's also important to point out that there is help. so the federal stimulus provided for up to $10 million in loans as part of a paycheck protection program for small businesses, and those loans are completely forgiven if it's a plied to pay-- applied to payroll. small businesses can find more information on line. the treasury saying that they will start approving and disbursing that money by this friday. bun of the big variables is if you've already laid off all your staff and you're looking to an uncertain future, is it too late already. >> yeah. it's so difficult for any small business to plan for any disruption, but one like this which is still open ended, we don't know when it's going to end, it's impossible.

a lot of people are going to be going through this. thanks. ahead, how south africa is struggling to enforce some of the world's toughest lockdown restrictions. that's coming up on "cbs this morning." there will be parties again soon, and family gatherings. there will be parades and sporting event and concerts. to help our communities when they come back together, respond to the 2020 census now. spend a few minutes online today to impact the next 10 years of healthcare, infrastructure and education. go to 2020census.gov and respond today to make america's tomorrow brighter. it's time to shape our future.

about, including this -- more than two dozen college students contracted coronavirus after chartering a flight to mexico for spring break. at least 70 students from the university of texas at austin flew to cabo san lucas a week and a half ago. and once they got there, they realized after they left cabo san lucas that they, in fact, had contracted the coronavirus. and now there's a concern obviously that if they were anywhere near their family members, they may also have contracted the virus. really big problem there. >> yeah. really big problem. and you know, mexico says that they believe that the students had the virus before they came to mexico. that they didn't get it in mexico. they're under a quarantine. being monitored in texas. what this illustrates is how a single person can be an ember that starts a whole new outbreak, a whole new fire regionally. and that's why we all have to be ere looki at a o>>t now.

social distancing guidelines are followed. the white house has extended them through april. around 900 americans with the coronavirus died yesterday setting yet another single day record in just a week. the death toll has jumped by more than 420%. gayle? >> and that's why we are practicing social distancing and urge you to do the same. that's the only way we've going to flatten the curve. many medical professionals on the front lines compare the conditions they face to what it's like in war zones. one chicago emergency room doctor spoke with our lead national correspondent david begnaud during a few chaotic moments during his shift. what did you see? i hear chaotic is the right word here. >> we had no idea the doctor was going to answer the skype call for the interview in the emergency department. there were other doctors attending to the patients in need. but what you're about the hear may be one of the most sobering

and surreal accounts you have heard from the front lines so far. >> this is the most scared i've ever been being an er doctor. it's not just because of me. it's because i have a wife and a two-year-old and a one-year-old at home. i don't want to expose them. people say it's our job. t not our job. it's our duty. it's what we signed up for. >> that's an emergency room doctor on the west side of chicago. >> i deal with gunshots every day and trauma and crazy stuff. this is the only thing that scares me. >> reporter: how many patients do you see on a daily basis suspected of being coronavirus positive? >> 60% to 70%. every day. >> reporter: we keep hearing young people are not as affected by this. has that been your experience? >> you i intubated a 27-year-old

with no medical problems last week. >> reporter: he says people with being treated as if they're positive for covid-19. doctors can't afford to wait the three days it's been taking. >> we do deductive reasoning. if your white count is normal and their x-ray looks like covid-19 and their influenza negative, it's covid-19. well, we have another covid-19 come in. do you want to see the setup before it comes in? >> please. >> before we go in, we put on gowns. we put on goggles. we put on as much ppe as we have. repts r respirators so we have them. this is becoming all too common. the box is right here. >> reporter: the physician protection box, as they call it heemhis wa i'm not in front of

the patient's mouth. >> reporter: protective gear is scarce here, he says? ft. >> when we use them for a shift, we put them in a brown paper bag. >> reporter: the suspected covid-19 that's coming in right now, he's coming by ambulance, i assume. how critical is he? >> they're doing cpr on him. yeah. >> they're dying alone. >> reporter: and that's because they need to be isolated says this doctor who is using a respirator he got from his previous job and a filter that his father who works in construction gave him. >> how you doing? >> frustrated. there was the cdc said we could use bandannas as a form of protection for ourself instead of masks. i have one in my pocket.

it's frustrating like the government let us down. >> how are you doing? >> thank you for asking. i'm not well. it's not a joke. i want people to stay home. this is the real deal. >> are they still performing cpr? >> no. they're dead. >> there was no time to even test that patient for co-vid, but the precautions were taken. the doctor says besides ppe, this is what they need. >> if you have a friend or a colleague or anybody you know health care industry who is working the front lines, just send them a text saying thinking about you. god bless you. love you. thank you for what you're doing. that's all we need. >> on behalf of a grateful country, thank you. >> thanks, dave. >> thank you. >> david, i was so struck with the doctor when he said no,

they're dead. the simplicity of that, and when he also said many times you don't take your work home, but you have no choice but to take this home. it's really overwhelming. overwhelming to hear the stories. >> i want you to know they started a go fund me page to raise money to buy their own kwoi equipment. they've gotten money and bought it and they're using everything from the painter's masks to athlete's goggles just to do the job daily, and they are exposed to this from the start to the end of their shift. >> we can all say thank you. thank you, david. >> thank you. >> that's a powerful piece, there. thank you, david. thank you, gayle. dr. tom frieden was cdc director and is now president and ceo of

biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to and stay undetectable. that's when the amount of virus is so low it cannot be measured by a lab test. research shows people who take h-i-v treatment every day and get to and stay undetectable can no longer transmit h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b, do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your doctor. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. if you're living with hiv, keep loving who you are. and ask your doctor if biktarvy is right for you.

(upbeat music)

back > dr. tom frieden who as you may recall served as cdc director during the ebola and zika outbreaks. good morning. i want to go back to those projections from the white house. 100,000 to 240,000 dead in just this so-called wave of the virus. the first question is how bad is there going to get, and would you advise the white house in the same way that the coronavirus advisers are right

at this moment? >> right now this is heartbreaking. i'm in new york city where the number of deaths topped 1,000 just in a few weeks. it's a terrible tragedy, and unfortunately, it will get worse before it gets better. but each of us has within us the ability to do a lot to turn the tide on this. there's much more that we can do as individuals to support the health care workers on the front lines and each government needs to do to get ready for what's coming next. >> dr. frieden, would you be advising the white house now to consider a federal lockdown, keeping people in their homes? >> i think we're missing the key point. having people stay at home is only one part of what's essential. and it is essential. but the other part is to get ready for what comes next. that means getting better eyes on the virus, understanding where it's spreading and how, it

means strengthening our health care system, not only so that we're ready for the desperately ill patients but so we can keep caring for people who have everyday health problems and managing those who have mild illness. and most importantly, perhaps, strengthening our public health system which we've under-invested in for so long so we can do the aggressive, proactive, supportive contact tracing, testing isolation, and quarantine that other countries have used to knock there down. we can do it if we work together. >> dr. frieden, a lot of americans listening to you are looking for some insight into when their lives may get back to some kind of normalcy. the white house's projections show the virus descending into the summer. can we look forward to something in july or august that's almost like normalcy? >> it's not like the weather. we can't expect seasons here. we have the future within our power. look at countries around the world that have been able to tamp this down and then

gradually loosen the faucet and get back to a new normal, normal but a new normal, but not open the floodgates. what does that mean? that means that people who are over the age of 60 or who have underlying medical problems may need to stay home for longer. but we should be able to gradually reopen if we do the right things. it's not about the day, it's about the data. are we strengthening our health care system? can we proactively find every infected case, every contact and isolate them properly? that's what singapore, hong kong, places of china outside of hubei where it started, that's what they're doing, and that's what we can and must do to reopen as soon and safely as possible. >> all right, dr. frieden, thank you so much. an important reminder that those projections are not a for sure thing. we have the power to bend them down, and we are workinging to do so. thank you again. ahead, amazon workers protest over coronavirus conditions that left them without jobs. we'll be right back. we made usaa insurance for members like martin.

an air force veteran made of doing what's right, not what's easy. so when a hailstorm hit, usaa reached out before he could even inspect the damage. that's how you do it right. usaa insurance is made just the way martin's family needs it - with hassle-free claims, he got paid before his neighbor even got started. because doing right by our members, that's what's right. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. usaa

many delivery employees say they're being underpaid and face unsafe working conditions during the pandemic. that led some workers to strike this week against amazon, whole foods, and the delivery app instacart. ada diaz spoke to one amazon employee who claims he was fired in retaliation after staging a walkout in new york. the company says he was fired for violating a mandatory quarantine. i want to make sure i get this straight. all the managers at your facility were told that somebody well tested positive? >> right. >> reporter: were you instructed as a manager to tell everybody that worked under you? >> no. it was like, keep it on the hush. don't tell everybody. they don't want to cause a panic. they want to keep business operations running. it was crazy. >> reporter: amazon told cbs

news they inform workers if they've been exposed and need to quarantine for two weeks with pay. >> they're not care being this pandemic, this virus. >> reporter: chris smalls, among more than a dozen amazon employees to protest understand safe work conditions on staten island monday says the company isn't being forthcoming. what do your colleagues at this facility say? >> i mean, some people are afraid, but they still just "i need the money, i need the money." double time, it's blood money. >> reporter: as americans rely heavily on services that help live remotely, health concerns and fair pay are paramount for employees who feel more pressure than ever to deliver. >> we don't have face masks. we ran out of those weeks ago. the cleaning supplies that they claim they have all over the place, we don't have those either. >> we do not feel safe working there right now. we are actually part of the problem and not part of the solution. >> reporter: this amazon employee who asked that we only call her by her first name, rachel, sorts packages part time

at the company's teterboro, new jersey, facility. >> blue -- >> blue -- >> reporter: rachel's a single mom and says she and her 1-year-old son have a history of respiratory issues. she tells us there were rumblings about potential cases in teterboro more than a week ago, but on-site management had no answers. >> i did get the hearsay which i was told from a member of safety that i should take it with a grain of salt. i shouldn't listen to other people. i heard from a member of the executive team at the corporate office in seattle. she says, listen, your site said they are aware of the situation, written communication will be out shortly. there was no written communication, and until this day they have not had any written communication. and that's concerning. >> reporter: amazon told us that it communicated with teterboro employees as soon as they knew of a confirmed case, and that rachel's allegations are not representative of the company's commitment to safety. she's not convinced. >> you have to choose whether to collect a paycheck or our

health. i want the company to truly put the health and safety of their employees first. >> reporter: chris smalls also claims that even after symptomatic employees are tested they can return to work while they await test results. amazon says it tells employees to go home if they're not feeling well and consult with a doctor. the company which also owns whole foods says it's complying with all cdc and world trade center hegd organization guidelines. -- world health center organization guidelines. they say health and safety are a top priority. gayle? >> thank you. ahead, we'll talk to nba star kevin love about his mental health advocacy and advice for people feeling isolated by the coronavirus. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. local news is coming up.

objects and people in their home. the museum said it's been flooded with hilarious re-creations and shared some of them on twitter. the lady who imitated the harp with her vacuum cleaner hose was probably my favorite. really great stuff. you know, it's -- like the metropolitan museum in new york is forecasting it may not reopen until july. so it's a really tough time for them. they're trying to stay engaged in any way they can with people out there. and that's a really clever way to do it. tony, what have you got? >> yeah. i love that, anthony. i'm going try that later today. i hope estimate point when this is over we can put the pictures up on the wall and have an exhibit of the copy cat acted out versions of the artwork. that would be a lovely thing. i have a public service announcement for the parents out there and a warning to my 11-year-old who's sleeping now -- when he's watching this, pay attention. if you're on a phone or a computer and you're playing video games, keepn on your kiddos because during the pandemic they can rack up some

charges. former nba player kendrick perkins told the show "hoops dreams" yesterday that he made a very unfortunate discovery on his credit card bill. take a look. >> quick story. i get my credit card bill. i go to buy something, the credit card declined. i'm like, what -- i just paid it. come to find out, i got $60,000 worth of "fortnite" bills on my credit card. >> how much? >> $16,000. and it was buying skins every day, whatever that is. i don't know what it is. i had to dispute the charges -- >> buying skins. yeah. declined credit card. that is a 14-year nba veteran. he's got money in the bank and went to the store, swiped the card, and they said no, you don't have it. he doesn't know what skins even are. what skins even are. apparently they are very expensive. keep an eye on your kiddos, warn them today.

gayle, one of his friends said, oh it sounds like discipline hour should be 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. after that happens. what do you think? >> that's pretty funny. what i think is your credit card declined -- we've had that, we go, could you run that again? it's always a kind of embarrassing situation when it happens. been there, done that. i -- something tells me they're going to work that out. speaking of basketball stars, my story is about shaquille o'neal. now we know shaquille o'neal, he's a superstar, he's got a sense of humor. he's known for a big heart. you might not know that shaq is also a fairly successful, we should make that very successful deejay. an instagram video he posted on monday, he held a dance party in his kitchen with his sons and nephew. take a look. ♪

and panic attacks. he's become a spokesman on the issue. he joins us from his home in cleveland. kevin love, good morning. thank you so much for being with us. >> thanks for having me. i appreciate it. >> you donated $100,000 to arena workers and several other players have followed suit. why was it important for you to make that gesture? >> just understanding that this is going to be such a tough time to navigate. it was actually the thursday morning after adam silver, our commissioner, had postponed the season. i was just thinking about, you know, how these people are so much a part of my story, our story as nba players. we see them at least 41 games, home games out of the year, as well as other events. and these are -- these are people that you start to develop a first-name basis with, a first-name relationship with. people that, you know, i've been

in cleveland now six years, who i see every time coming into the game. i'm giving them a bump. asking how their family is. so just knowing that this is such a tough time to navigate is going to be such a stressful time. anxiety ridden. just the fear of unknown is going to be there so much. i was just thinking about all that stuff and thought it would be great to take care of the people who have been taking care of me and supporting me and the cavs organization for so long. so you know, i decided to donate to them, the arena workers, most of them i feel like are living paycheck to paycheck, not knowing when food's going to be put on the table, if they're going to be able to take care of their families. so i thought it was super -- very important to take care of them. and then you saw the cavs stepped up and said that they would pay. the organization said they would pay for all the games, you know, that aren't going to go on. a lot of the events that aren't going to go on. you saw players stepping up and

doing the same thing or donating meals, you know, committing money to the nurses and the doctors and several different hospitals. it just kind of took on a life of its own. i was incredibly happy to see other players step up and do something similar. it was really cool to see that. >> i think so, too, kinevin bravo to you. the fact that players saw what you did and followed your lead. honestly, it says something about who you are as a person, as a man and how you live your life. bravo, bravo to you on that. >> thank you. >> you've been outspoken about your own -- i mean that. you've been so outspoke ben your own mental health issues and your own anxieties. how have you been coping during this time? >> for me just staying active and making sure that i have a routine. so much of the time when that is taken away from me, i think just

by nature, being a basketball player, i'm so used to having that routine. making sure i'm getting up early, i'm getting the proper nutrition, physically taking care of my body. and understanding what my core competencies are, my pillars in my life. i am always working on my relationships, checking in with friends and family, making sure that i'm, you know, while i'm social distancing, i'm not isolated myself. i'm reaching out to my family, friends, doing constant communication. using the devices here, you know. even if it's virtually just staying in touch with everybody, i'm making sure that i'm doing that. but just continuing to move. thankfully i have a dog that forces me to get outside. so yeah, just little things like that that i continue to do. >> that certainly helps, kevin. you'd have to be made of stone to not be feeling a little bit of anxiety, a little bit of

sadness right now. so what's your message to people who may be struggling with this cataclysmic event we're facing? >> yeah. i think it's like i said earlier, incredibly tough time to navigate.and i would say, my would be it's -- it's normal to feel this way. the only way we're going to get through it is together. i've said since this started happening and we were having to isolate ourselves and quarantine that it's normal to feel this way. the only way we're going to get out of this is together. like you know, human beings are so resilient. we will get through this. i think the worst thing that can happen is if we come out of this unchanged. we have to be able to change and be there for each other and be better. i do think there will be a lot of great things that come out of this. we may not be able to see it right now, and so much is changing every day. we don't know what life is going to look like after this.

let alone the mental health of a lot of people coming out of this. nothing unites us like the common and the same enemy. i would say just continue to commit to everybody's going through something at this point and at this time. just be kind. >> all right. >> and take care of the next man. take care of the next woman. >> kevin love, mr. kevin lover, amen to that. thank you so much. that is one

the coronavirus is hurting inmates behind bars, and the subject of criminal justice is a vital subject for kim kardashian west. it all started with alice marie johnson who was released in 2018 after she served 21 years of a life sentence for nonviolent drug charges. we spoke to kim kardashian west about her fight for change and her new documentary. >> you'd be surprised how many women who are in prison who are really broken women, products of abuse, they are victims, former victims of abuse, abandonment, know one believing in them. >> what i wanted to do with this documentary is take people along with my journey, how i started off with alice, nonviolent drug offender, to going into people that have done some really serious crimes. realizing that their life doesn't have to be thrown away,

that they do deserve a second chance. >> alice johnson says kim went to war for me. of all the cases, why did you decide to get involved with her? >> i feel like alice's case really found me. i happened to be on my phone and saw a video that she did, like a video op-ed that she explained her story. she said she was -- would answer the phone and connect people, but she didn't know quantity, who, where, what. she knew it was something in regards to drugs. she was the phone mule, and she got a harsher sentence than charles manson did. and when i heard that, i thought, okay, that does not add up. this just is not fair. >> but kim, she got a harsher sentence than the drug dealers who were involved in the case. >> yeah. exactly. and that to me just blew my mind. that started to unravel how our system works. it doesn't make sense to me.and. yes. >> let's talk about that word,

fair. what does that mean to you in this particular case? >> if she did something that was not following the law and of course she should do time. but what is that sentencing time? and so for me, realizing that they lock up black and brown people five times more than white people, and i am rising mixed kids, to me that becomes really personal. >> i think people should see the work that you put into it. you go to the prisons, you meet with the inmates, you meet with their attorneys. why are you doing this? >> i just couldn't sit back and see alice spend the rest of her life in prison. when i saw that she had her big family, sisters and grandkids, it reminded me of my family. i thought, what if one of us made a decision that just changed our family for rest of our lives. once i really got to know alice and realizing that there are thousands more alices, i couldn't just sit back and not try to make a difference and not

try to change. >> you know, you said something very powerful in your documentary when you said you have to ask yourself are human beings capable of transformation and second chances. >> absolutely. and i was very judgmental when first started this process. i didn't think i had the empathy to support and rally behind someone that had taken someone's life when there was a violent crime involved. until i started to educate myself and until i started to go to prisons and meet with people that are incarcerated. >> how do you find the time to do that with all that you also have to do with your own family life? >> it is a huge change in my personal life. i never go to events. i never go out. i never -- i just don't have the time. >> you never go out? >> rarely. rarely do i go out. i have to be home. i have to be in the office studying for law school 18 hours a week, so i really did make that commitment. i have to study, everyone really

does respect that. >> what did your dad say, kim? your dad, robert kardashian, wa lot. i know he would be proud. knowing that when i'm exhausted and think i want to give up, i know that he's pushin me to not give up. >> people all know kim kardashi kardashian, we watched you growing up. is there a part of you that says i don't want people to think of me that way anymore? >> i can honestly say that i don't care if someone views me as this way or that way or however. i know what i'm doing, and i'm focused on that. i love being a mom, and i love being a good example for them. >> you've got four children. how are you navigating coronavirus? >> we're all at home. we've watched every single movie under the sun. we're doing drawing classes. everything you can imagine to try to keep kids busy. >> and how is canadikanye handl this coronavirus and social distancing? he's always very active. >> i thought that he'd have a harder time with it, but he does love staying at home and watching movies. and having my cooking and

hanging out with the kids. i think this time we're just taking advantage of it and trying to be positive. i probably annoyed him organizing every last thing in the house. >> what are you saying to people that are not heeding the call about social distancing? this stuff is no joke. >> yeah. i think that it's extremely irresponsible for anyone to not take this seriously. the sooner we do this, the sooner we can go and see our friends and family again. >> kim's shapewear company skims is donating $1 million to provide relief to families impacted by coronavirus. when we announced we were doing this interview yesterday on line, we saw some of your criticism. but the thought is you can't deny the work that kim kardashian west is doing to change lives around criminal justice reform. she's making a big difference. we'll be right back. - will invisalign aligners really work for my smile.
