avert a worst case scenario. and remote control. how zoom calls may be getting hacked and what the company says it's doing about it. >> oh, no, don't hack zoom, but first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we're going to have a couple of weeks, starting pretty much now, but especially a few days from now, that are going to be horrific. >> president trump says the national stockpile of emergency medical supplies is almost depleted. >> with all due respect it seems like so much of this we're making it up as we go along. >> when bullets start flying, everything becomes a fog and you have to play it by ear. >> the labor department says more than 6 million americans filed for unemployment last week. >> these are numbers we saw over the course of the entire great recession. this is like a flood, and the waters are still rising. >> bloomberg news is reporting the u.s. intelligence community concluded that china has been under reporting cases of the

coronavirus. >> seem to be a little bit on the late side and i'm being nice when i say that. >> dr. anthony fauci now has an extra security detail. fauci is getting death threats. >> this year's wimbledon tennis tournament is canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. it's the first time since world war ii. >> all that -- >> steph curry posted this video. >> working out like dad. >> and all that matters. >> jack black has discovered tiktok. >> the shirtless jack black doing what he calls the backyard boogie stay at home dance. >> that's a high kick. >> on "cbs this morning." >> kevin makes videos starring his 73-year-old mother lily. now lily apparently used to like the song "careless whisper" until kevin played it over and over again for days on end. >> no way! okay?

♪ >> i can watch that for like a month straight. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> me, too, jimmy kimmel. me, too. thank you, evan's mom and jack black for discovering tiktok. we agree on that, right, guys? welcome. >> yeah. >> well, he's going to have a month to watch it, if he wants to watch it. i'll be watching. >> that's right. welcome to "cbs this morning" as you wake up in the west. we're coming to you from our respective homes. we're hoping in your -- you are at home, too because out of an abundance of caution we'll continue to bring you the news. you can certainly count on that throughout this coronavirus. and we've got breaking news on the economy. that's where we begin today.

anthony? >> the new jobless numbers are out, gayle. double the record high numbers we saw just a week ago. more than 6.6 million americans filed unemployment claims last week. but it looks like wall street was expecting these staggering numbers. stocks showed only modest losses following an initial bounce up after the opening bell this morning. cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us. how much worse could this job situation actually get? >> oh, gosh, i hate to predict the stock market. my crystal ball was broken a long time ago, probably during the 1987 crash. investors, just like economists, just like all of us, don't really understand the magnitude of the impact on the economy of this pandemic. what we now know is nearly 10 million people have filed for new claims for unemployment over a two-week period. the speed with which this is happening is staggering. we also know that it's likely to get worse before it gets better.

we have a number of economists who are predicting unemployment rising up to 15, maybe 20% by the summer. the hope is that the federal programs that had been established will tide people over until things do settle down. but it's going to be a bumpy ride. hang on. >> all right, jill schlesinger, thanks very much. tony? >> anthony, thank you. of course, the economic crisis began as a health crisis. we're seeing alarming new numbers in that department. more than 1,000 people died from the virus yesterday in the united states bringing the total above 5100. more than 216,000 cases are now reported. taking it all in, vice president mike pence says we are on pace to match hard-hit italy, and a growing number of americans seem to appreciate that. a cbs poll out this morning shows about half of americans, 51%, expect the outbreak will get worse in the next month and

only 28% think it will get better. david begnaud is in new york city, which has the largest number of victims, by far. david, good morning. as the sun comes up here in new york, you are in front of that eerie site, a field hospital in central park. and we understand that the city of new york has new guidance for emergency responders. what are they? >> they do. we're wearing a mask because of our proximity to the hospital. i am, and so is my team as a matter of precaution just so you know. that new guideline seems somewhat grim, quite frankly. it basically says for ems personnel who respond to a home where someone is in cardiac arrest where their heart may have stopped if the emts cannot establish a heartbeat through cpr or other life-saving measures, they should not transport that person to a hospital out of fear the person may have covid and they want to do that in order to protect the ems workers and the hospital staff. in the span of 72 hours here in

new york state, the number of coronavirus deaths more than doubled. the governor closed the playgrounds. >> who else has to die for you to understand you have a responsibility in this. >> reporter: listen to how a nurse in brooklyn describes her icu. >> the turnover, someone passes away, all right, get the room clean. next person in immediately. i mean, there's patients sitting in the e.r. on ventilators waiting to come up. there's really just no break. >> reporter: she gets one protective mask and has to use it all week. the national stockpile of personal protective equipment is nearly empty. >> difficult days are ahead for our nation. we're going to have a couple of weeks starting pretty much now, but especially a few days from now that are going to be horrific. >> currently, new york city has fewer than 400 icu beds available. out of a total of more than 2,500. our cameras captured the first patient arriving at this central park field hospital with 68

beds. it's funded by the charity samaritan's purse. >> doctor, did you bring your own staff? >> yes, we did. these are doctors and professionals that are coming in from the outside to come here and to provide additional care, additional services to the people. >> reporter: in nearby connecticut, the governor announced what he called a tragic milestone. >> probably the youngest person ever to die of covid has died here in connecticut. that baby was less than 7 weeks old. >> reporter: another five states, nevada, florida, pennsylvania, mississippi and georgia all issued stay-at-home orders. that brings the total to 37 nationwide. in new jersey, a 33-year-old firefighter died. >> he was a great father, person, husband, son. >> reporter: israel tolentino leaves behind a wife and two young children. right outside the field hospital, i have to tell you,

we're all looking for a little bit of good news, something to smile about. this is positive. the religious organization samaritan's purse, says everything they're doing here is done free of charge. the hospital is not reimbursing them. the city is not. they are paying for all the tents and the staff that is here to receive all the covid patients they have beds to treat. >> yeah, david, the city's health care workers are going to appreciate that help. breaking overnight, two holland america cruise ships are waiting outside port everglades in south florida carrying passengers believed to be infected with the coronavirus. the cruise line says more than 200 people on the two ships have flu-like symptoms. on one ship, the "zaandam," nine people have tested positive for covid-19. and two of them have died. manuel bojorquez is in miami. what will happen to those people on board? >> well, anthony, officials have just announced that they've reached a tentative deal to

allow those ships to dock here in south florida with a combined 1200 passengers and 1100 crew. the cruise line says fewer than 10 people require critical care right now, and they are finalizing plans to get them to a hospital. >> medical attention. they're doing the best they can, but he needs more than that on line. >> reporter: jennifer's parents are passengers on the "zaandam." they've had fevers for more than a week and her father developed pneumonia. >> we don't want anyone to be infected in ft. laurddale. we just want to make sure people get help fast. >> this is a humanitarian issue? >> it is a humanitarian issue. >> i've never felt my parents were more vulnerable than now. >> reporter: john and rosemary are also on board the "zaandam." >> you could catch covid but could be susceptible to something else. getting everybody off that ship as soon as possible is imperative.

>> reporter: florida governor ron desantis was reluctant to bring all passengers ashore. >> we just want to make sure the people are safe. >> reporter: florida has the fifth highest number of reported cases in the country and a highly vulnerable population. more than a quarter of floridians are over the age of 60. >> i'm going to be doing an executive order today directing all floridians to limit movements and personal interactions outside the home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities. >> reporter: after resisting for weeks, desantis finally issued a statewide shelter at home order wednesday. >> if the seniors and those who have health problems, if they are staying home if they are protecting themselves, then i think we're going to be able to get through this. >> reporter: the governor's order deems religious institutions as essential and exempt from social distancing guidelines which critics say defeats the purpose. as for cruise ships, there is another on the way to florida where the crew reports a higher

than normal number of people with flu-like symptoms. gayle? >> manuel, thank you. earlier, we spoke with dr. anthony fauci. he's a key member of the white house coronavirus task force. so manuel's update will be good news to him. we asked dr. fauci whether the people on board those cruise ships should be allowed to disembark in florida. >> first of all, you have to take care of the people who are ill. you just have an obligation to do that. and as quickly as possible, you've got to get the people who are not sick, who are not infected off the ship. now remember, there are both americans and people from other countries so we've got to get the americans off, and we've got to get the people from the other countries safely back to their own country in cooperation with the responsible country. but this is absolutely necessary to do before you get further spread of the infection. >> it does seem to be a humanitarian issue. i want to say there's a slight delay with dr. fauci, but we can hear each other.

dr. fauci, we all know this is a pandemic of numbers. and i heard you say the other day the now projections are up to 240,000 people could die. and this is practicing the social distancing. i also heard you say, we should not be discouraged. i was encouraged to hear that, but why should we not be discouraged when we hear such frightening numbers? >> because it's within our power to modify those numbers. those numbers that you heard the other day that i -- that dr. birx and i mentioned from the white house press conference, were numbers based on a model. you model what the projection might be. and the projection was that even with considerable mitigation, you still could anticipate between 100,000 and 200,000 deaths. however, if you really push hard on mitigation and data comes in that tells you, you're doing better than the model, you can modify the model. so what i was saying is even though we need to anticipate

these rather disturbing numbers, we shouldn't give up and accept it and say, okay, that's going to happen. we need to push and push with the mitigation to try and get that number lower than the projected number by the model. >> so it doesn't have to be inevitable is what you're saying. the cdc says 25% of the people don't get symptoms of coronavirus. so how will we know when it's safe to lift the restrictions? >> well, there are a couple of parameters that you look at. one is you look at the curve of the new infections of the people who get hospitalized and the deaths. those graphs we've been showing at the white house. the one that peaks and then starts coming down. but also, we're going to be instituting tests that can actually show how many people in the population have been infected. so in addition right now, we're focusing on those who have symptoms, getting them identified, isolated, trying to

get contact tracing, doing physical separation, but what we would like to do reasonably soon is to get a better feel for the totality of the infection in the community. even those who have recovered. and you can do that by a relatively simple antibody test. that's one of the things we're aiming for as soon as possible. >> president trump says he's considering banning domestic travel. is that your advice to him? >> we look at that literally every day. it really depends on what city you're talking about and from where you are coming. so this is something you're absolutely correct is on the table and is discussed. but no decisions have been made about banning travel within the domestic united states. >> dr. fauci, i know we have to go, but there are reports that you now have to have security. i was very sorry to hear that for you. and i'm wondering the personal pressure.

do you feel pressure to get this right? you are the most respected, the most admired. when you speak, we listen. i'm wondering how this has affected you personally. >> you know, it's my job. this is the life i've chosen, and i'm doing it. i mean, obviously, there's a lot of pressure. i would be foolish to deny that, but that's what i do. i've been through crises like this before. dating back 37 years from the very beginning of the hiv epidemic. it's a job to do, and we've just got to do it. >> well, dr. fauci, listen, you're on doughnuts, socks, mugs. fauci friday. "people" magazine, a petition to make you sexiest man alive because people say brains are sexy. so we're all paying attention to what you're saying. i'm wondering what your family thinks about all of this. >> it's really kind of crazy. i try not to pay attention to that and just focus on the responsibility and the job that we have. that's the most important thing,

not that other stuff. >> it is the most important thing, and we are all cheering you on. thank you, dr. fauci. >> good to be with you. thank you. >> microsoft co-founder and philanthropist bill gates has been warning about the threat of a global pandemic since 2015. so far, the bill and melinda gates foundation has committed $100 million to fighting the virus. gates may be the second richest person in the world, but he's been spending the last few weeks at home like the rest of us. and he believes social isolation should be a national policy. >> it will help everyone get out of this more quickly and reduce the deaths and reduce the economic reduction if we implement these strong isolation measures on a countrywide basis. >> we, obviously, have some states taking different policies than others. do you think we need leadership from the white house that we're

not getting? >> i think that the pressure by fellow governors, the executive branch, the experts should be very strong so that all 50 governors are seen that they need to do this, or that there is a federal order about the social isolation. the sooner you start, the less cases you're going to have. and the sooner we can all go back to some level of normalcy. >> and you can see more of my conversation with bill gates in our next hour, including why he says the country was not better prepared for the outbreak. gayle? >> anthony, i can't wait to hear what mr. gates has to say. ahead, the "cbs this morning" investigation takes us inside america's hospital. what nurses told us about a lack of critical i'm leah and that's me long before

welcome back to "cbs this morning." as you can see, we are coming to you from our homes so we can practice safe social distancing during the coronavirus outbreak but still bring you the news you need to know. the news today not good for yet another day. the u.s. has more than 216,000 reported cases of the virus overall, and the death toll rose by more than 1,000 yesterday alone. now topping 5,100. the mayor of los angeles is urging the city's four million residents to cover their faces if they leave their homes. that goes beyond state and national guidelines. but mayor eric garcetti said people should not wear the medical-grade masks needed by

health care workers. it seems like the deeper we get into there crisis the more the guidance on the face masks seems to evolve. >> yes. you're so right. i'm now even rethinking wearing a mask. the most important thing is that the nurses and the doctors who need it get it. and that's what we're talking about. the nurses at 15 hospitals in seven states, they're protesting over what they call a lack of preparedness by a major u.s. hospital chain. they say the shortage of protective equipment is putting them and their families and patients at risk. senior investigative corespondent catherine herridge has their stories. what i can tell you is it has quickly grown >> at this moment, four in five americans have a stay at home, shelter in place state of mind. they're not spending their money. of protective gear is putting her and her fellow nurses at risk. >> no isolation gowns. we are riddled with fear and

this broken system. >> i can't kiss my children. i can't hug my children. and this is going to go on for months. we work hard for our patients because we're impassioned about what we do. but we didn't sign up to be exposed to a killer virus without proper protection. >> reporter: since our interview, shelly hughes, who gave one of her n95 masks to a pregnant colleague has gone self-isolating. hughes has some symptoms, and she doesn't know whether it's her asthma acting up or covid-19. gayle? >> catherine, i'm glad they're speaking up. without them speaking up, changes will not be happen. thank you so much. ahead, disturbing new reports of people disrupting zoom video conferences with racist and pornographic images. yikes. you're watching "cbs this morning." we thank you for that. we'll be right back. ilt ford pr3 built through world wars and natural disasters

yesterday of complications from the virus. the father of four great musicians led a storied career as a jazz pianist and composer. ellis mar salits was 85 years old. and some more sad news. adam schlesinger died from complications of coronavirus. according to his lawyer the ten-time emmy nominee founded fountains of wayne and co-wrote "stacy's mom." we've been talking about how important music is to all of us during this pandemic. so sad to lose two greats. >> the music world has been taking a real hit during this pandemic. adam schlesinger may be someone people don't know they do know. he got the score for "that thing you do," tom hanks' film, produced the last monkees album. only 52. people are stunned and shocked and saddened. you've got another story about the new england patriots.

w.h.o. a who are helping out in this pandemic in a big way? >> that's right. the noing patriots' pbob kraft, reported she flying in-- he is g a much needed batch of equipment to china. the governor of massachusetts had been imploring, had been crying out, pleading for help over the last couple of weeks. it's a wonderful thing that he is doing. there's more good news on the charity front. sweet green is helping feed heroes on the front lines of the pandemic. the restaurant chain is keeping up with the world central kitchen to launch the sweet green impact outpost fund. corporations, sponsors, and customers will be able to join and help get food to folks like medical personnel working in hospitals. really important. the initiative will also fund new outposts in relief sites including schools, senior

centers, and in vulnerable, high-risk communities, gayle, what a wonderful way to do something and give something back to the people on the front lines. gayle? >> i mean, i love these stories. no surprise about bob kraft. he has a huge heart, and sweet green, i'm a sweet green girl. harvest bowl. get extra sweet potatoes, extra apples. but by all of us constricting or people contributing, customer sponsors, you will end up feeding so many people, especially the medical professionals. this is great thing they're doing. i also like this story, vlad. you know, anything that makes us smile during this time. and you've got a guy in britain that's doing that. >> that's exactly right. and it's still sticking with the theme that we were just talking about -- doing something for others, for charity. james campbell ran a marathon in his back yard. look at him go. that is his back yard, gayle. the 32-year-old ran 20-foot shuttles from one end of his yard to the other. it was all part of a twitter challenge. campbell said he'd run a charity

marathon if one of his messages got 10,000 retweets. it took the former international athlete just over five hours to complete 26.2 miles. the best part, of course, is campbell raised more than $32,000 for a british charity helping to combat the pandemic. tony, i got to see you doing this in your back yard. >> better him than me. maybe gayle on the balcony could try it next. >> nope. >> all right. thanks. coming up, bill gates on his effort to fight the pandemic. stay with us. i don't add up the years.

for it's thursday, april second, 2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. covering up. what's working against the coronavirus and what isn't. and is it a good idea for all of us to now wear masks? we'll ask doctor david agus. now unemployment numbers give us the starkest vision of the economic impact. and what bill gates says we need to do to catch up in our national response. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00.

more than 1,000 people died from the virus yesterday in the u.s. bringing the total above 5100 people. >> the ems workers in new york city has been given a directive. if you can't restart the heart somehow, someway, do not transport that patient. >> fewer than 10 people require critical care. they'd like to get them to a local hospital. it's unclear how they plan to safely transport them. president trump says he's considering banning domestic travel. >> this is something you're correct is on the table and is discussed. but no decisions have been made. bill gates believe social isolation should be a national policy. >> it will help everyone get out of this more quickly. ♪ >> a grandfather and his granddaughter live across from each other and now have a daily

dance party. >> a dance off from a safe distance, and i have to say, her reaction to his dancing. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> that's awesome. i love that story. his granddaughter is six or seven and grandpa is in his early 80s. that's what we need to see more of. welcome to "cbs this morning." from our house to yours, we're coming to you from each of our homes just like you we're practicing social distancing. as you wake up this morning, the numbers are higher this morning than when you went to bed. the number of coronavirus cases in the u.s. has now surged past 216,000. that's nearly twice as many as italy. the next closest country, although, of course, we have a much larger population. our death toll is more than 5100, and that group more than 1,000 in the past 24 hours.

florida has joined a growing list of at least 37 states and washington d.c. that have issued stay at home orders or directives. they apply to more than 253 million people. in the latest cbs news poll, 83% of americans say our top priority should be staying home to stop the spread of the virus. 17% said getting back to work to get the economy going is more important. >> part of what makes that balance different is the cdc estimates that as many as 25% of americans with coronavirus may not feel any symptoms at all, but still might be able to pass it onto others. that will make stopping the spread even more challenging. our dr. david agus joins us with more. good morning. very disconcerting to hear that there are essentially ghost cases out there. people walking with the illness. how do you combat that if you want to try to slow the spread?

>> well, 20% of people or maybe more never have symptoms with this virus. and obviously they can be contagious. but almost everybody right before they have symptoms, their virus levels are high. they can be contagious too. you have an entire population of people that can spread it. when a young person says i feel fine and they go on the beach in florida, that could spread to people who can then spread it across the country when they return to their home after spring break. it worries me. >> so what do you do about it? >> what we do is we stay at home. what we do is we have uniform rules across the country, how we don't go out because even if we feel fine, we can spread it. the other thing we can talk about is masks. when you put a mask on it's not to protect you from somebody else, it's so the droplets in your mouth don't get out. you put a mask in front of you, can block the droplets.

the notion of wearing masks that is recommended in the city of lanksz, it's to protect others. i think it's fantastic. >> it's a good idea. as long as you're not wearing the m-95 masks which is taking masks away from the medical workers who need them. one of the variables is who is affected and why. we had a 7-week old baby in connecticut die yesterday. and people in their 70s, 80s and 90s are affected. why does this virus seem to touch so many people in so many different ways? >> that's the key question. last week a 50-year-old couple came in and had the virus. several days later the wife was on a ventilator. the husband who was in much worst shape than the wife was fine and got better. about 2% of people will have serious symptoms with this virus. and the problem is i can't predict which 2%. everybody is worried they're going to be in the 2%.

if we know who, we are treat them differently and more aggressively, and maybe we'll have a clue on how to stop this horrible disease. >> you mentioned the husband and wife, the man had more severe symptoms than the woman. there's evidence that that may be the case across the country. any going theories as to why men may be more affected than women with this virus? >> we first started to see it in china. we thought it was smoking. men in china smoke a lot more, use more tobacco than women. we're seeing it in the united states. another troubling trend, our population who are getting really symptomatic are much younger. but we're much larger as a country as an individual, and we use a lot more blood pressure medicines. we're not sure the exact reasons for all of these, but these are important observations. when we figure out the biology, hopefully we'll be able to get a treatment based on that. >> doctor, thank you very much. as many americans base their

third week of social distancing in isolation, we want to answer your questions about mental health during the pandemic. email the questions to coronavir coronavirus@cbsnews.com. >> if anything kills over 10 million people in the next few decades, it's most likely to be a highly infectious virus rather than a war. not missiles. but microbes. >> ahead, anthony's fascinating conversation with the microsoft co-founder about what he thinks we should do now.

billionaire philanthropist bill gates is urging the government to shut down the entire country to save lives. so far their foundation has donated $100 million to fight the coronavirus. they're focussed on detection, isolation and treatment of the virus and finding a vaccine. gates says the u.s. failed to get ahead of the outbreak, but it's not too late to make up for lost time. >> you've been saying for a long time that we're not prioritizing testing. who should be leading the way here? >> well, the federal government needs to sut the priorities, because we have a lot of people who are just worried who would like a get. if we had infinite capacity, that would be great. as many as half our tests are going to the people they shouldn't. that's causing you to have to wait often three or four days even if you're a health care worker to get that back.

>> back in 2015 you warned we were not ready for the next pandemic. why aren't we better prepared? >> well, in fact, very dittlitt investment was made in being able to ramp up diagnostic capacity very quickly. our foundation and some other governments did work on some new vaccine platforms who are the most promising, but sadly because you can't estimate the risk, and it was something i was trying to talk about and thought we had some engagement on, but then the personnel in this area were cut back. i think this time people understand that this is a trillions of dollars event. it's going to be hundreds of thousands of lives on a global basis. i think now people understand why those alarms were raised and that for the next one we will be far more ready than we were for this one.

>> ultimately did the federal government fail on being prepared for testing? >> well, i'm sure there will be lots of post mortems about why before this hit didn't we do more? why right when it hit didn't we do more? it's most important to be looking forward and saying are the number of tests growing? is the speed which they come back less than 24 hours? and are we testing the right people? we're still not there, and so let's get that fixed, and then we can maybe a year from now do the deep post mortems. >> you also talked in 2015 about the potential economic consequences of this. how concerned are you about the resiliency of the american economy? >> well, the economy is being hurt. it's great the congress has acted. we probably will need to do more there, but the economy can return in a way that people who

get sick and die cannot. >> you've been in touch with leaders in washington. have you talked with the president about this? >> i've not talked directly to the president. our foundation is trying to be as helpful in a very constructive way as possible. that's why i've talked to the head of the pharmaceutical companies. we've talked to a lot of the agencies including cdc and nih about how we work together on the vaccine. and the drugs. >> is there anything that's really surprised you about what's happened? >> i thought we would respond a bit faster. what we're doing, how we're having to change the economy here in order to drop the number of cases, it's -- it's really unprecedented. even the issue of once you get the case numbers down, what does opening up look like? which activities like schools have such benefit and can be done in a way that the risk of transmission is very low and

which activities like mass gatherings may be in a certain sense more optional, and so until they're widely vaccinated, those may not come back at all. >> do you think we're going to think about pandemics differently from now on? >> well, that is for sure. you know, there were a few movies. they weren't that popular about this, and to make them at least a little bit popular, they usually have a miracle happen at the end where some hero invented something and boom, everything was back to normal. no. the awareness of this is a threat, and probably the biggest threat to kill tens of millions of people. that will be permanently embedded. so this time i do think we will get ourselves ready for the next pandemic. >> have you had any trouble getting adjusted to social distancing at home? >> yeah. i find it so disconcerting to wake up every morning and think

well, that was a strange dream i had. and then say oh, my god, yes, look, there's no traffic on the bridge. and oh, yeah, my first meeting is on that computer screen and somebody is going to leave some food, but i won't see them. this is super dramatic. i use computer screens a lot and think about pandemics a lot, and even so, i can hardly believe we're in this situation. >> gates says he think we could feel the effects of this well into the summer and the economic effects could linger as long as two years until we have a vaccine. >> anthony, i think we are forever-changed by this on so many different levels. i was fascinated by bill gates' answer when you said did you think the government did they do enough? his answer was diplomatic. clearly he saw something in 2 5 2015. i marvel that he saw something

back then. >> he laid out the threat very clearly then, yeah. >> yes. yes. he's a very smart guy. has a lot of experience. i'm thinking if bill gates offered me help, i might take that call if he's offering his services. >> i'd be calling him. >> yeah. exactly. >> you can hear my extended interview with bill gates on cbs this morning podcast. and still ahead, one company fighting to stay in business during the pandemic is getting a lifeline from its workers. how employees are trying to help their ceo who was once called the best boss in america. you're watching "cbs this morning." - why choose invisalign over other aligners?

we all remember that. now as price's company gravity payments faces an uncertain future amid this pandemic, those employees are now giving back. jonathan vigliotti shows us how they're taking voluntary pay cuts. >> we had 98% of the employees offer to take a pay cut. >> reporter: that's got to be inspiring to you. >> it's humbling. it's probably the proudest moment of my life as a leader, but also the most humbling. >> reporter: dan price says his employees at gravity payments, a credit card processing company for small businesses, offered not just a cut but big cuts. 30%, 50%, some even offered to work for free. price wouldn't let them, but he says their sacrifice meant no one will be laid off. >> we'd be on the brink of disaster if our employees have not stepped forward to bail out and save the company, we would have probably about three months before we were completely out of business. >> reporter: justin gamora is

director of sales and offered to cut her salary, too. why did you choose 30%? that's a huge number. >> it's really about doing everything that i can to make sure that everyone in the company is able to keep their jobs. >> reporter: that pay-it-forward attitude started with price back in 2015 when he made a decision to take his salary down from $1 million to $70,000, and told his employees that they would all get at least that much. [ cheers ] he says he was inspired by a princeton university study that showed, no surprise, emotional well-being rises as income rises. >> that's got to be even more humbling and inspiring to see your employees following your lead. >> i bawled my eyes out for a half hour. we're all in this together. just like the coronavirus, we all have to work together to defeat it. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," jonathan vigliotti, los angeles. >> bravo and go, dan price. you know, they always say leadership starts at the top.

you can see he's got a great mind and an even bigger heart. we love that. ahead, what new jobless numbers from the government reveal about the impact of the coronavirus crisis on merican is this a morning update. >> good morning. it is 8:25. look agent the roadways, we have two serious accidents in the north bay causing closures chp crews responding to a possible fatal accident working your way on 12. both directions are shut down. one westbound lane is open. we see delays. it is due to a deadly accident at oakmont. that investigation may take time expect delays in and around that area this morning still working on a trouble spot earlier this morning in the

many of us are stuck at home during this crisis. or are we stuck or enjoying time with the family? or as may favorite son said to me, use it as a time of self-reflection, mom. i don't know about that. but whatever you're doing, chances are you might be watching shows like hbo's "west world." thandie newton won an emmy award for her performance in the sci-fi series. she plays maeve, a self-aware robot who fights for her freedom last season. the androids revolted at "west world," the theme park where humans could live out their wildest fantasies. let me tell you, some of these fantasies are wild. on this sunday's episode, maeve is sent on a mission in a new world. >> you're very pretty, aren't

you? and you're a bit old to need something that aims for you. >> and thandie newton, there she is, joins us from her home in london. hi, thandie newton. it's sod good to see you. >> hello. >> hello. i'm so glad -- i feel the same about you. >> welcome. welcome. >> welcome, welcome to you. >> we're having our own -- >> yes, we are. i watched the show, and sometimes honest to god, what i'm watching. it's a dark odyssey, sometimes it's artificial intelligence, sometimes it's real world, sometimes it's not. sometimes death doesn't always mean dead. i mean, it just takes us on such a wild ride. so i'm wondering for you, when you get the scripts, are you looking at it thinking what's going to happen next, too? >> it's definitely mind expanding, and it has been from the very beginning. >> yes. >> that's what i love about it. and it is fantasy, but it hinges on the fact that this is 50, 60

years in the future, and it's anyone's guess as to what is likely, you know, that the show is projecting. and what we're experiencing now, i mean, even "west world" hasn't used this as a storyline. >> didn't see this coming. >> it is grave. seriously grave. seriously grave. but i feel -- >> go ahead -- >> i'm finding it hard to watch stuff that isn't -- to read a novel or to watch fiction. i am just consuming real news, whether it's documentaries, whether it's -- i need information. i know a lot of people out there are feeling the same, you know. something like "west world" is a balance between what's realbe. so i find it -- >> i know, the world is really upside down. and for a lot of people, "west world" is an escape for people.

maeve uses her intelligence as a superpower. what do you -- what can we expect this season? because she's part robot and then it's dolores versus maeve. i'm on team maeve. what do you -- what are you thinking as we go into the new season? >> i -- what i love about maeve this season is that she has no loyalty to any side. so it makes her a very strong -- it makes her neutral. her neutrality i think is really important. from that place, i think it's -- it's better for an audience to really judge how they feel because she's not on anyone's side. so i think that's a huge strength for the character this season. and i loved it. i loved it. >> what i like is you get to do so many different things with her. and also, she's very pretty. anthony?

>> yes. yes, she is. i wanted to say i love the painting behind you. i was going to say i love the painting behind you. we love seeing everybody's homes. i want to say that, really gorgeous. >> yeah. >> your character maeve has become a real fan favorite. why do you think maeve has resonated so much? >> because she like so many of us, she has become aware of betrayal, has become aware of who's pulling her strings, and how that betrayal, once she's aware of it, she just rises like a phoenix. and i think a lot of people identify with that, you know. that what would they do if they knew the truth. and she does what -- what most of us wish we could do. she's not someone who leaves a room and says, god, i wish i'd said that. she says it in the moment, you know. it's very compelling. i mean, she's a -- what a

brilliant character. i get to say those words and be in those situations. particularly episode two this season was just -- i relished every second. she is updating herself and learning. but i think that, you know, yeah, she's a robot, but in life, that's what we do with the truth, it sets us free. and some. >> yeah. it's great to have a character who grows. tony? >> well -- >> tony! >> you've got all these powerful -- hey! how are you? good morning. >> good morning. >> good night a question that i wish were no longer even a question in our universe. i mean, i pine for the day when this is no longer relevant. tuesday was equal pay day for men and women. you've got this set full of powerful ladies. and now you guys are getting the same salary as your male co-stars. just what did that mean for you and for the show? >> it was surreal because i --

how naive was i to think that we were already on equal pay. i just assumed that, you know, i'm doing my thing. i'm acting, i'm -- my other activities, you know, human rights work, i just -- it's like i haven't realized that that was still an issue. so when hbo on the back of time's up, you know, worked hard to raise awareness about the lack of equality between men and women in the area of wages, and when they came to us with the figure, it was bittersweet because on the one hand it was this giant hike to a new figure. and on the other hand, it made me realize the reason it was such a giant thing -- >> i apologize -- i apologize, we've got to jump in. you get -- i apologize, i got to jump in here. they're going to cut us off. >> jump in. >> you're here for free. "west world" airs sundays on hbo. we'll be right back. thank you. what we do now will forever change our tomorrow.
