with us here on kpix 5 news this morning. hope to see you back here at 4:30 tomorrow. are next newscast on channel 5 is that 12:00. hope you have a wonderful day as we take a live look of the golden gate bridge and mission bates in san ♪ good morning to you, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's thursday, april 9th, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. signs of progress. new evidence we may be flattening the coronavirus curve after another day of grief and pain. we'll ask dr. anthony fauci what the new projections could mean. >> growing unemployment crisis. new data shows another huge jump in jobless claims. we'll break down the numbers and look at who is struggling the most. sanders drops out. how the coronavirus played a role in the vermont senator exiting the race. plus, what sanders says he wants from biden before he'll endorse

him. and saving fashion. only on "cbs this morning," there she is, anna wintour explains an effort to save an industry facing global devastation. >> but first, here's today's "eye opener." your world in 90 seconds. >> we may -- may be reaching the point where the impact of the coronavirus is beginning to level off. >> the death toll from the pandemic continues to rise. even as there are signs the spread of the virus is slowing. >> the mitigation we've been doing is having a positive effect but you don't see it until weeks later. >> another really ugly week. 6,600,000 jobless claims. >> this is a savage number. and this is probably still an underestimate of what the unemployment situation is.

>> big news from campaign 2020. joe biden is now the presumptive democratic nominee after senator bernie sanders announced the end of his campaign. >> before you made this announcement, did anyone notify larry david? >> tyler perry teamed up with wynn dixie to pay the grocery bills for dozens of grocery customers. >> the series finale of "modern family." >> 11-season run. >> will you ever speak to any of these people again? >> probably not. >> all that matters. >> new zealand's prime minister is putting children's minds at ease when it comes to the easter holiday because of the coronavirus. >> we do consider both the tooth fairy and the easter bunny to be essential workers. >> on "cbs this morning." >> here's your quarantine tip of the day. sticking to a daily schedule will help to keep you motivated. yeah. that's why every day i get up at

3:00 in the afternoon, shower and then immediately take a nap. it keeps me going. >> this morning's "eye opener" is presented by toyota. >> i like trevor's daily schedule. you wake up in the west, welcome to "cbs this morning." we're broadcasting as you see straight from our homes to yours. we're all staying in as much as we possibly can. and we hope we really hope you're doing the same. it goes without saying, we are still committed to bringing you the news you need during this crisis, and we begin with breaking news this morning on the coronavirus. and unemployment. anthony, the new jobless numbers came out this morning, and the numbers are bad. >> they sure are, gayle. another 6.6 million americans filed for unemployment last week. according to the labor department, that's almost as many as the previous week, which was revised up to 6.8. when you put those three weeks together, the past three weeks, the jobless claims cover about 10% of the entire u.s. workforce.

cbs news business analyst jill schlesinger joins us. what do these new numbers tell us about the state of the economy right now? >> well, a pretty deep recession for the economy and for the jobs market. and these near 17 million jobs that were lost just over three weeks, put that in context in a couple of different ways. we added 20 million jobs over the course of the 11-year recovery from 2009 to 2020. i also should note that this claims spike, this is a 2,500% increase from before the pandemic. we actually were at all-time low levels of claims back in february. so it's sudden. it's dramatic. it's staggering. and it's just awful for the people going through it. >> jill, the treasury and federal reserve board just this morning announced a new lending program to provide an additional $2.3 trillion in financing for

small businesses. that's a lot of money. but a lot of small businesses are having real trouble getting these loans. what's up? >> yes, we're hearing a lot of frustration. we don't know whether it's the financial institutions, the sba. we do know that things are startingng to ease up. this federal reserve program is an additional $600 billion in main street loans. but these are for slightly larger companies because the loan amounts are $1 million to $25 million. for small businesses, keep at it. be persistent. do not give up because the money is there for you, and we're probably going to see another $250 billion added by congress. >> all right, jill schlesinger, thank you. gayle? >> thank you both. turning to the pandemic itself, there's reason again this morning to believe that together we may be slowing it down. there are now more than 432,000 reported cases in the u.s. at least 14,800 people have died, and that is a big number

and that may be an underestimate because of a lack of testing. but take a look at these numbers. on sunday, one widely cited model predicted 81,000 americans will die in this outbreak by august with a peak around april 16th. but just two days later, that projection dropped to around 60,000, peaking four days sooner. now we should note this model is optimistic compared to some of the others. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in new york city near the u.s. navy hospital ship "comfort." this is certainly a pandemic of numbers. and the question now, how many patients are there at the "comfort"? >> 60. that's it, gayle. we heard in the past they could hold 1,000 but that's been reduced to 500 because what they've done is spaced out each of the beds within six feet for proper social distancing for the staff who are treating the patients. but it doesn't explain why they only have 60 patients on board right now. a navy official just told me if you want to know, you ought to ask the mayor's office because

he is in charge of deciding who comes here and when. so we've placed a call to the mayor's office and are awaiting that answer. new york just had the deadliest day yet. >> the bad news isn't just bad. the bad news is actually terrible. highest single day death toll yet, 779 people. >> reporter: yet another sobering report from new york governor andrew cuomo. but he did add a silver lining. >> there's no doubt that we are now bending the curve, and there's no doubt that we can't stop doing what we're doing. that's the good news. >> reporter: as that curve flattens, concern for those enforcing law and order remains high. the nypd says a 15th member of the force has died. 2,500 are infected. nearly 20% of the force is out sick. in chicago, overburdened hospitals already deal with covid-19 patients have now had to contend with more gun

violence. seven people were shot to death in that city tuesday. 14 more were wounded. including a 5-year-old girl. lori lightfoot is the mayor of chicago. >> if our icu are filled with gunshot victims, our ability to respond to this covid-19 crisis will necessarily be compromised. >> reporter: chicago's cook county jail reportedly has the highest number of cases that can be traced back to a single site. that's more than the nursing home in kirkland, washington, where the coronavirus crisis started. the jail's active cases now number more than 400. although many nonviolent offenders have been freed. protests or tuesday demanded a mass release of inmates after one of them died from covid-19. cook county sheriff says shutting down the jail is not an option. >> they certainly can't call the chicago police department and say listen, those people you picked up for murder last night, the brutal murders, yeah, just keep them locked up in your

office. handcuff them to a desk. >> reporter: in southern california's riverside county, 84 patients were moved from the magnolia nursing center. there are 34 cases of covid-19 among the residents. five among the employees. the patients had to be relocated after employees there refused to show up for a second straight day. >> i think their fear might have led them to make a decision that might not have been the right decision for the patient. >> reporter: california's governor said he was going to send ventilators to states around the country that needed them. and new jersey got some. the governor tweeted yesterday the ventilators came with a handwritten note. prayers from new jersey is what the note read. prayers from california. tony, this comes at a good time because the federal stockpile, that the federal government runs and supplies, it's practically empty now. >> prayers indeed. david begnaud, thank you very much. president trump's medical experts say they are seeing signs that social distancing and other efforts to slow the spread

of the coronavirus have been working. but they also warn that the next few weeks are critical and americans should not get complacent. still, yesterday the president said he thinks the country will reopen sooner rather than later. >> we can do it in phases. we can go to some areas which you know, some areas are much less affected than others, but it would be nice to be able to open with a big bang and open up our country or certainly most of our country. i think we're going to do that soon. >> now those decisions will largely rest with state and local officials. earlier, we spoke with dr. anthony fauci of the coronavirus task force and asked him about the improving projections. >> the models, as i've often said, are as good as the assumptions you put into the models. and those assumptions sometimes, when you tweak them a little, they really change the range of the kinds of projections that you have heard. remember, we were talking about 100,000 to 200,000 deaths.

what's happening is that we are doing a very good job on mitigation, on the physical separation, the adherence to the guidelines. and as new data comes in, what you do, you integrate that data into the model to modify the model. and that's why you're seeing those projections coming down somewhat. that's good news. but the thing we have to be careful of that we don't take that good news tong think we m be able to pull back. we have to continue in many respects to redouble our efforts at the mitigation of physical separation in order to keep those numbers down and hopefully even get them lower than what you've heard recently. >> so dr. fauci, let's talk about that redoubling of our efforts because what a lot of americans are thinking right now is, okay, so i've made it to april. i'm going to go through the spring. what about the summer? virtually everybody in this country has some kind of thing planned for this summer. can they expect to go forward with those plans or will we still be in some sort of a

shelter in place or lockdown condition? >> you know, it looks like things are going to be improving. if you look at the curves that we talk about, we often talk about flattening the curve and then getting around the corner and coming down. if, in fact, we see that, and it will be differential in different parts of the country. new york city, the terrible ordeal that they've gone through, is very different from some of the places in the middle of the country or in the mountain regions. so when you say get back to normal, it's not going to be a light switch that you turn on and off. it's going to be differential and gradual depending upon where you are and where the burden of infection is. but the bottom line of it all is that we see looking forward, it is very likely that we will progress towards the steps towards normalization as we get to the end of this 30 days. and i think that's going to be a good time to look and see how quickly can we make that move to try and normalize? but hopefully, and hopefully by

the time we get to the summer, we will have taken many steps in that direction. >> so dr. fauci, when you start talking about that progress toward normalization, can you envision a summer, at this point, based on the modells, where people are going back to beaches, going to baseball games, weddings are happening, reunions are happening? is that in the cards right now? >> it can be in the cards, and i say that with some caution because, as i said, when we do that, when we pull back and try to open up the country as we often use that terminology, we have to be prepared that when the infections start to rear their heads again that we have in place a very aggressive and effective way to identify, isolate, contact trace and make sure we don't have those spikes that we see now. so the answer to your question is, yes. if we do the things that we need

to do to prevent the resurgence. >> are you personally expecting to take a summer vacation somewhere other than washington, d.c., this summer? >> well, you're talking to the wrong person. i don't take vacations. i just want to look at what we have in front of us right now. i'm not thinking about vacations. >> well, let's talk about one other thing that you say you don't think anyone should be doing and that's shaking hands. i think a lot of people heard that yesterday and thought to themselves, as you said yourself, sounds crazy. we're never shaking hands again? walk us through your thinking there. >> no, i did it almost a little tongue and cheek but not really. there was a bit of reality to it. what i really meant is we really now need to be aware of, because it has hit us smack in the face that respiratory infections, particularly brand-new ominous

respiratory infections like we're going through right now are clearly spread very much, not only by droplets but by people touching their face, shaking hands and that's the reason why we talk about washing hands so often. i don't think in reality we're going to all of a sudden never again shake hands. but i think i threw that out there to get people to start thinking much more about personal hygiene and the way that impacts the spread of a really deadly infection like we're going through right now. >> all right. dr. fauci, i hope you and i can meet face to face some time soon and i'll shake your hand if i get that opportunity. appreciate you being on with us this morning. >> yeah, looking forward to it. take care. former vice president joe biden has a clear path to the democratic presidential nomination. his last opponent, senator bernie sanders, suspended his campaign yesterday. he told supporters his path to victory was virtually impossible

and continuing his campaign would interfere with the fight against the coronavirus. as ed o'keefe reports, the vermont independent is still focused on defeating the president. >> we are talking to joe, and we're talking to his team about how we can work together. >> reporter: last night, senator bernie sanders told stephen colbert he'd do everything to stop president trump but stopped short of endorsing joe biden. >> he's not going to adopt my platform, but if he can move in that direction, i think people will say this is a guy we can support. >> reporter: it was exacerbated by the coronavirus. sanders trails the former vice president by more than 300 delegates. the pandemic put a stop to campaign rallies and any hope of breaking through. >> i have concluded that this battle for the democratic nomination will not be

successful. >> reporter: but sanders plans to keep his name on the ballot in states yet to hold primary contests in hopes of influencing the party's 2020 platform. >> his leadership is going to continue, including working to address the incredible challenges we're now facing. >> reporter: biden, who spoke to sanders wednesday, acknowledged the senator's appeal to younger voters. >> he didn't just run a political campaign. he created a movement. and that's a good thing for the nation and for our future. >> reporter: biden advisers now believe the contest against president trump will come down to an argument over competent, experience, compassion and empathy. mr. trump's re-election campaign on wednesday released this ad trying to link biden to sanders. >> they're more alike than you think. >> reporter: as the presumptive nominee, biden can focus on picking a running mate. his team is expected to start the formal process of picking a vice presidential running mate next week. we are also expecting a formal endorsement from former

president barack obama very soon. gayle? >> everybody is waiting for that one. thank you very much, ed o'keefe. good to see you. linda tripp, one of the prominent figures in the scandal that led to bill clinton's impeachment died yesterday. tripp was a pentagon official when she met monica lewinsky, the former white house intern who had an affair with bill clinton. tripp secretly recorded her conversations with lewinsky and gave the tapes to the independent prosecutor ken starr. shortly before tripp died yesterday afternoon, monica lewinsky tweeted this. no matter the past, upon hearing that linda tripp is very seriously ill, i hope for her recovery. i can't imagine how difficult this is for her family. linda tripp was 70 years old. small business owners are struggling to get loans and keep their businesses afloat. coming up, we'll ask the head of goldman sachs what might be in store for the u.s. economy. allstate has been helping customers overcome

welcome back to "cbs this morning." as you see, we're coming to you from our homes out of caution over the coronavirus outbreak. tony, before we go, i want to say something to you from our house to your house, and anthony, your house. i so enjoyed the interview with dr. fauci. he is so reassuring for so many people. i was very curious how he was going answer the question about is he going to take a vacation. he's 79 years old. like everybody dealing with coronavirus, he is on duty 24/7. it was good just to see him say, nope, no vacation, because we don't want him to take a vacation right now. >> yeah. that's true. we do want him working.

we're wondering about our own vacation. i also appreciated hearing him say that he was kind of intentionally being provocative by saying no more handshakes. i've shaken his hand in the past. i didn't realize it was an imposition. i'm glad to hear it's not. he's suggesting it as a way to be conscious going forward. important information. >> we are all thinking about things differently these days. moving on. small business owners is what we want to talk about now. as you know, they're scrambling to get loans to keep their businesses afloat during the pandemic. congress is considering a plan to give them another $250 billion, but the details on that still really need to be worked out. goldman sachs, though, is committing $550 million to the relief efforts. the company's chair and ceo, that would be david solomon, joins us for his first -- there he is -- network broadcast interview. good morning to you, david solomon. very good to see you. >> hi, gayle. thank you for having me. i'm delighted to be on the show

this morning. >> we're glad to have you. listen, i know goldman sachs has been committed to small businesses for a very long time. how did you all come up with the $550 million figure? and how exactly do you want to see that used? >> so the c.a.r.e.s. act is allocating $350 billion to small businesses. as a bank, we have a small consumer business where we take composites through markets on line for consumers, we haven't had a business where we are a banker to small businesses. so we wanted to use our platform to try to find a way to get money into the hands of those small businesses who really need it. and so we first started by committing $25 million to help community development financial institutions which are, in a way, like banks that work under the big banking system to get money into very small businesses, particularly in underserved communities and places where the large retail banks might not go. and the purpose of that $25

million grant was to help them be better prepared to get capital into small businesses they serve. we then said we would commit $250 million to do that lending through those institutions, and then we recently just earlier this week doubled that to $500 million so that we can help get that money quickly into the small businesses that need it so badly, gayle. >> and david, they are very glad to hear that. i know you've heard this, too, there are already complaint from business owners saying i can't get anybody on the phone, i go on line, i can't get on line. what do you do you -- what can you do to make sure that the money that you want people to get, that they actually get? it is a problem. >> yeah. that's why we've chosen to work with these community development financial institutions. we feel like we're in a position where we can work with them directly to help them be better prepared to give them training, skills, systems, that will allow them to get that money out

directly. the process that you're talking about where people are applying through other banks, that process is still getting up and running. we're hopeful that through this channel we can get money out as quickly as possible to these very needy businesses. i think there will be, gayle. i think there will be improvements. i think the other banks are working very hard to get that system working so that money can get out to these small businesses. this is really only been in place for a few days. i believe it's getting focus and attention. >> i hope so, too. listen, i know you've been in touch with the white house. the president has said that he hopes, he believes that the country will open sooner rather than later. do you see it that way, too, david? >> well, i think it's very important that first and foremost we all take care of our people, we take care of each other. and the virus is a very serious threat. we will beat it. we will make progress. but i think the process of getting people back to work is going to be a slow and cautious one. i think we need to make progress

on the virus, we definitely need improvement on accessing -- access to testing, and we have to build confidence over time. my own view is this is something that will gradually happen over time, but it's not something that's going to be like turning a light switch back on. the way we closed down the economy to protect people from the virus, it's going to take a little bit longer to open up. we are making progress. and at goldman sachs we're spending a lot of time thinking about slowly, cautiously how we can bring more of our people into the office in the coming months, but we're only going do it if we feel it's 100% safe and secure and they feel safe and secure. >> listen, i know you don't have a crystal ball on your desk, i realize that. how long -- job numbers are coming out in about an hour. later this morning. they're not expected to be good. how long do you think it will take before we are really -- that we put the workers back on the jobs?

your own employees included. >> yeah, i feel very, very good about the fact that we're in an organization where we have 98% of our people working from home which is really remarkable. but they want to get back to work. we want to get them back to work. i think this is a process, gayle, where no one has a crystal ball. i think the best way to think about it is to think about it as a gradual process as we make progress in slowing the spread of the disease, as we have improved testing in the coming months, and i believe based on the medical experts that we're talking to that we will see improved testing in the coming months as we have better information, better data, as we can take better precautions including masks and making sure people follow appropriate physical distancing. i do believe during the summer we'll start to bring certain parts of the economy back on to line. and we'll just have to work together and make it a gradual process. >> i know. david, this has been a game changer for all of us.

i never in a million years thought i'd be talking to you from my family room. and you're sitting where you're sitting right now. so as -- knowing that it's a game changer, on the other side, what do you see the changes for your company on the other side? we all have to learn from this. and there will be changes for all of us in how we do our business going forward. >> well, i agree with you, it's a game changer. i never expected to be talking to you from goldman sachs television studio where i can't even see you. i expected when we first got together to do this and you were asking to do it, i'd be sitting with you, you know, having a face-to-face conversation. we all adapt. we're all adapting well. i know there's a lot of discussion about what happens when we get past this and how it changes behavior and business. my own views is that's something that we can talk about when we get past this. people crave human interaction, and as we work through this, i think there will be some changes. at the same time, when people feel safe and secure, they want

to be with other people. i know we'll get to a place again where people can feel safe and secure, and they can interact from a business perspective and socially. and i look forward to that as i know you and all the viewers do, too. >> well, david, listen, i look forward to a face to face because there's so much i want people to know about you. for instance, when you're not a financial guru and wizard, you are an edm deejay. this guy, david solomon, is a deejay on the side. i like that. there's a whole lot more to your story. thank you so much for taking the time. >> absolutely. ahead, we'll show the italian region hit hardest by the pandemic -- i'll see you, david solomon. how there are signs of hope after weeks of tragedy and loss. you're watching "cbs this morning." is your sanctuary. more than ever, your he that's why lincoln offers you the ability to purchase a new vehicle remotely with participating dealers. an effortless transaction- all without leaving the comfort- and safety of your home.

>> we are not surprised. at christmas he plays santa. whenever there's a crisis, you can expect tyler to step in. he's touched by it, so he does something about. it you've got another story about a young girl in georgia. she's helping, too. >> reporter: that's exactly right. this fourth grader is sharing her love of reading with the entire world. madison nevels goes live every night on facebook to read her favorite books. the 9-year-old calls it "story time with maddie." i spoke with madison. she's doing this to ease people's minds during the pandemic. take a listen. >> and the situation we're in right now, people were very nervous, frustrated, and angry. so i would need to calm them down and make them happy. >> love this so much. maddie told me she has more than 100 viewers from all across the country, england and australia. and anthony, i only play a good

time charlie on tv. but i'm a bookworm just like maddie. when i saw this story cross my wire, i had to talk to her. >> love it. love it, and she read "hop on pop," one of my favorites. she says every time you read a book you get smarter and smarter which is the truth. all right. thanks, vlad. ahead only on "cbs this morning," "vogue's" anna wintour shows how they're helping fashion workers pay their bills. stay with us. there will be parties again soon, and family gatherings. there will be parades and sporting events 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.

lately, i've discovered that while keeping safe and staying in,

we can still go out! -sort of. so while you're discovering new things to do in the box, we'll be here for you... at the drive-thru, on the mobile app, and with delivery. ♪ it's thursday, april it's thursday, april 9th, 2020,. welcome back to "cbs this morning." the rising toll as the coronavirus spreads. the former head of the cdc will tell us why he thinks much of the devastation could have been prevented. disappearing jobs. what the new unemployment numbers mean for millions of americans. and fashioning a plan. "vogue's" anna winter an efforts to rescue her industry only on "cbs this morning." >> she's got ideas. but first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> there is reason to believe

that together we may be slowing down this devastating pandemic. >> california announced recently it was going to send 500 ventilators to states around the country that needed them. and the governor of new jersey tweeted yesterday the ventilators arrived with a handwritten note and what was written was prayers from the west coast. what about this summer? virtually everybody in this country has something planned for the summer. can they expect to go forward with the plans? >> it's not going to be a light switch that you turn on and off. it's going to be differential and gradual depending on where you are and where the burden of infection is. the former vice president joe biden has a clear route to the democratic presidential mom nation. bernie sanders suspended his campaign yesterday. >> bernie was grateful for everyone who contributed to his grass roots movement. >> thank you for your 10 million contributions averaging $18.50. >> $18.50 which i am told these

days is enough to get you half a clorox wipe. i'm going to miss that. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. welcome to "cbs this morning." listen, we're all using a lot of the clorox wipes these days. i know that feeling stephen is talking about. >> they're busy in my house, that's for sure. larry david will have extra time not playing bernie sanders anymore this fall. >> i was thinking that, too. as you can see, we are broadcasting from our homes to yours. and again, once again, we can't stress this enough. we hope you are following the guidelines as we stay home as much as possible. and there's a reason for that. because we want to show you that a new projection on the coronavirus outbreak shows that social distancing may actually be working. the latest model from the university of washington projects about 33,000 fewer deaths by august than it

anticipated a few days ago. that big. the projected death toll still more than 60,000. tony, this model is often cited by the white house and it's more optimistic than other projections. >> it is. the reported death toll in the u.s. is approaching 15,000. that's about a death a minute. reported cases in the u.s. is more than 432,000. a very big in your opinion. and the actual number may be even higher than that, gayle, because of underreporting and a lack of testing. >> and behind the numbers as we say, there are people behind them. we're learning, again about the loss of a 27-year-old woman who w a disability to coronavirus. she kept working at a maryland supermarket despite the risk telling her family the store's older customers needed her help and she needed to be there. her mother told our washington d.c. affiliate, wusa, how she

took her daughter to the hospital. >> when she got out of the car, she fell. she collapsed in the parking lot. when they goter her, she has a 4 fever. they put her in isolation. she called me. s she says mommy, i can barely breathe. >> oh, boy. again, she died last week. she was only 27 years old. it's not clear where she contracted the coronavirus. doctor tom friedman is the former director of the cdc and former commissioner of the new york city department of health. he is currently the president and ceo of the initiative resolve to save lives which works to prevent epidemics. good morning. thank you for being with us, doctor. >> good morning. >> i want to start by putting this in perspective. you follow the city statistics

very closely in new york. roughly how many people are we losing every day to the coronavirus right now? >> tragically, there are hundreds of deaths each day as many as 400 or 500. the numbers are being verified because it's overwhelming for our hospitals and health department. we are beginning to see cases decrea decrease. that's why it's so urgent we prepare for the next phase. >> before the pandemic, typically how many people would the city lose in a single day? >> there were in new york city approximately 150 deaths a day. so there are two or three times that just from covid-19 in these terrible days we're living through. >> as tony and gayle just reported, there is a more encouraging model that we're seeing that suggests that the death rate may not be as dire as we feared. what do you make of that model?

>> i think models can be very helpful if they help do things like allocate the number of ventilators. or prepare health facilities for a surge, or guide us in when we may be able to more rapidly turn on or turn off the physical distancing interventions, but this idea that they're going to guess the number of people who died seems gruesome. we need to do everything we can to reduce the number of deaths to as low a number as responsible. every one of the numbers is a face, a family member. those numbers really bring tears to my eyes. every night i look as new york city reports its deaths, it's well over 4,000 already. and many more are still being counted. this is a terrible pandemic, and it moves incredibly quickly. that's why we have to use every single moment during this time

that we're sheltering in place to get ready for the next phase where we need to box the virus in. we need to box co-vid and do that with four key measures. testing widely, isolating effectively, finding contacts, and quarantining the contacts. if we do those, we can box the virus in and be able to steadily, gradually go back to a new normal. >> you say we need to loosen the faucet gradually, not open the flood gates all at once. in your view, what exactly does that pemean for ordinary peoplen terms of going back to ordinary life? >> well, first off, the government and the society need to be ready to test massively. we're not testing on anything like the scale that's needed. and it's taking many, many weeks for the white house and washington to scale this up. i'm afraid we're even possibly months away from having enough testing capacity in this country. and that's really dangerous.

second, we need to be able to isolate people safely whether in hospitals or nursing homes, homeless shelters. we need to identify all the places where it's spreading and reduce that spread. find contacts of every person who is ill and make sure those contacts are safe and don't infect others if they, themselves, become ill. but for most people, this means right now shelter in place. do not go out unless it's absolutely essential and if you do, please wear a face covering. that protects others as well as possibly yourself. but what we expect is that when things begin getting better, we might say to people who are older or who have serious underlying conditions such as diabetes or lung disease, you're going to have to stay in for longer. we'll gradually bring people out. things are going to look different. people won't shake hands. people will use hand sanitizers at the doors. some places may bik

temperatures. we're not going to shake hands for a long time, but we will be able to come out into a for normal, but to get there, we have to make our health care system much safer. >> all right. doctor, thank you for being with us this morning. if the coronavirus has affected your job or family's finances, we want to help answer your questions. email them to us at coronavirus@cbsnews.com.

"vogue" editor-in-chief anna

wintour and fashions director tom ford have teamed up to help those affected in the u.s. they created a fund-raising initiative called a common thread. >> our goal with a common ledthd is not only to highlight the designers you know and love but to focus on individuals who keep our industry running. >> the challenges that we face are profound, but this we hope is a step in the right direction. >> only on "cbs this morning," anna wintour shares how the cfda "vogue" fashion fund created as a response to 9/11 is being repurposed for this crisis, too. it's already raised more than $3 million. anna, i keep saying we are all forever changed by this. but let's focus specifically on the fashion industry. >> yes. >> when we say fashion industry, it is so much more than the clothes that we wear or going to a designer store. it's much bigger than that.

>> absolutely, gayle. obviously behind every designer are seamstresses, patent makers, embroiderers. there's a whole support system. when we were talking to senator schumer and senator gillibrand about the bailout for big businesses and small businesses, we came up with a number that the support system for the fashion industry equals 53 million jobs. >> let that sink in for a second. i think when most people think of the fashion industry they think hoyty and toyty and doesn't apply to me. that's justice not true. >> no. it applies to everybody. we are a community, and that is really what the videos that we have out on vogue.com and on our cfda are talking about. >> i'm a pattern maker at brandon maxwell. >> i'm assistant to alexandria way. >> i'm the press manager at area. >> we don't have this huge financial backer that's going to

help us through this. we just have our community and our customers. and they're hurting just as much as we are right now. >> it's this enormous part of our economy that is being decimated right now. and why we decided to come together and really try and do something to help the way we did after september 11th when we launched the vogue cfda fashion fund. we decided we would repurpose that to help the small businesses and the small designers within our community because they are the future generation of american fashion. we were so lucky to be given a grant, $1 million by ralph lauren himself. i literally burst into tears. i couldn't believe the generosity. >> we talk about small business and brands that will probably be the hardest hit at this particular time. are you worried about the new voices in fashion being left out? >> that was really, really the

reason that we launched oh repurposed a fashion environment into a common thread. we're going to be giving what we call microloans, $10,000 up to $100,000 to try and help the ones that we feel need it the most so they can get through these next few months and be able to survive. >> this has certainly been a pandemic of numbers. i want to throw this at you. it says a new report says 80% of publicly listed fashion companies in europe and north america will be in huge financial distress. do you ever think this industry can go back to normal? >> we are actually hosting a "vogue" global conversations next week over a four-day period where we are going to talk about the future of the runway show. we're going to talk about the future of e-commerce, the future of creativity, and the future of retail because there's no way we're going back to the way things were. a lot of us were talking a lot about sustainability and the fact that we were all flying so

much, the shows are so big and expensive, and these issues, these important issues have been thrust upon us in a much more significant and immediate way. and these are questions that everybody is asking. >> you shared the story about your son who is really one of the people on the front lines. >> so proud of my son. he's a doctor. and he is right back in the emergency room with the covid wards right now. >> because he was sick for a while, wasn't he? >> he was pretty sick. as i'm sure you've heard from many others, so many doctors and nurses, you know, got sick. he was -- he was able and determined to go right back in and help and do everything he can. and thank goodness that we have governor cuomo helping us through this because you feel he's telling us the truth. he's compassionate. i think that we have somebody in new york who is a true leader. >> how are you handling quarantining? do you have a ritual? do you have a routine? are you dressed right now on the

bottom? >> yes, as i am every day. >> you have on pants, anna winto wintour? >> i am wearing sweatpants, yes. >> okay. because i'm wearing -- i'm getting ready to workout. i was wondering what anna was going to wear. listen, you always look impeccable. your hair is done -- did you do your own hair today? you're doing -- >> i did. i did. >> it looks good. it looks good. anybody who knows anna says she loves to play, she loves to laugh. so i'll say this, i'll put on my glasses if you'll take off yours. >> absolutely. deal. >> nice to see you, anna wintour. >> nice to see you, too, gayle. thank you for having me. >> i was surprised when she took off her glasses because i thought she was going to say no, gayle, i can't. nobody is really camera ready when we're doing these interviews unless you're us who are working in front of a camera. when you're talking to people at their homes and, no, anna's not in the witness protection program. just that those are her trademark -- i'm used to seeing her that way, it didn't seem

weird when i was talking to her that way. in addition to her son who is a doctor who was sick, her daughter also had coronavirus. her daughter is recovered. she's quarantining with her daughter and her grandchildren and her daughter's family. so it has affected her family. but right now, so far, everybody's good. anna said she has felt no symptoms. she's not been tested. she's feeling fine, and she just wants to concentrate on what she calls the joy of fashion and whatever that means to all of us. so they're doing good work. they're doing good work to get everybody back to work and to get -- to make people whole. >> yeah. they really are. i wasn't thrown by the glasses, gayle, but i was surprised that she was wearing sweatpants. unless you're in the sweatpant manufacturing and delivery business, you're struggling now. that includes the whole world of fashion. i'm glad we were able to spotlight it. >> it's true. >> yep. >> true. absolutely right about that. >> now we know anna wintour wears sunglasses in quarantine. coming up, christine baranski plays lawyer diane lockhart on "the good fight."

herself in an alternate reality after falling into a coma. >> who's president? >> who? >> yes. >> i'll tell you later. diane, are you microdosing again? >> no. well, maybe. i -- i don't know. isn't trump president? >> no. >> so it's hillary? >> yes. >> how long has she been -- >> three years. are you all right, diane? >> are you all right, diane? hi, christine baranski. joins us from her home in connecticut. good to see you. >> hi. >> good to see you. >> thank you. >> when i was watching, i was thrown, too. i was thrown, too. always good to see you, christine. it's an alternate reality where hillary clinton wins the 2016

election. but there are so many cultural references that i went, huh, huh, huh? you said this is your favorite episode so far. why? >> it's the -- my favorite episode that i've done in the ten years i've played the character. for one thing, i think it's an extremely funny and witty episode. and i've done so much comedy in my career. but i don't get to use those chops usually playing diane who's such a serious legal character. but this -- you know, this begs the question what if hillary had been president. and it opens up a lot of very interesting issues. and it's head spinning because what if hundreds of thousands of women hadn't marched in washington the day after the inauguration? what about that anger? would that anger have led to a me too movement? would harvey weinstein still be, you know, would he still be, you know, functioning in the world and all those other guys that came down as a result of the me

too movement. so it's a really compelling episode. but i also just think it's damn funny. >> i was going to say it's compelling, but it's also very funny. there's a couple of times when i went, oh, i winced a little. i'll let people watch and decide for themselves. i remember when the show launched in 2017 and we had you on. you were apprehensive thinking cbs all access, how's this going to work, will we be able to find an audience. it goes to show you the audience finds things that are good, they find it, and that even a-list stars want to come and play like michael j. fox who's back. talk about your apprehensions then -- >> we have such -- >> how you're feel being it now. >> well, look where we are. everybody's sitting at home. and they're looking for -- they're looking for good content. they certainly will find it watching "the good fight." i still -- i've always said this is the only pshow that really places characters in the world in which we are living in the trump presidency. for all these years we've, you

know, had diane, you know, being a resistance fighter against trump and going crazy as a liberal feminist, living through this era. and i think it's the only show where you see people living in this crazy era that we're going through. and so i think people will relate to it strongly. it's -- it's, you know, it's relevant. it's a very relevant show. you know, obviously it doesn't address this current health crisis. but we -- we got shut down like the rest of the shows by mid-march. but i have no doubt that if we continue that the kings will address this, as well. >> christine, it's anthony. in the trailer for this season, you appear in a leather catsuits which got your fans on twitter excited. my question is, what did you think of their reaction, and more importantly, what did you think of the cat suit?

>> you know, there's only one issue -- do i look good in a cat suit. and you know, it's -- it was a brave move. and you know, i -- i hope it works. i haven't seen -- i haven't seen the episode. but was it fun? yeah. it was fun. all that pilates that i did, i hope it pays off. >> and you're -- >> two questions -- >> two-time tony award winner. thank you. christine, you're a two-time tony award winner. right now broadway is dark. and i wonder just what do you think the impact's going to be on that sector of the economy on, those artists and on the fans who want to be there? >> it's -- it's just heartbreaking. my heart goes out to my fellow actors and actresses. there's so much talent on

broadway. the idea that they're sitting home in their apartments and not able to exercise their talent -- and may i say we lost one of america's great playwrights just as the virus was beginning to take a toll. he was one of the first victims, terrence mcnally who wrote about the aids epidemic and, you know, i said it's a pity the lights of broadway will not dim for terrence because they are -- they are already dark. you know, my heart goes out to these talented people. i don't know where we're headed. the fact is none of us know where this is going. we're just all going there together. and the broadway community and the theater community, that is one strong community. and we will survive. we are survivors. but my heart goes out to them. >> yes. christine, last time i saw you, you said, you know, i'm working harder than i've ever been, i feel better than i've ever been, and may i say looking at you in

that cat suit, you look better than you've ever been, too. go, you. i'm a little scared of you right now. >> you know what, i'm -- >> you pulled it off. >> i'm not in a cat suit now, but i'm -- i'm home with -- i have three little grandsons here in connecticut with me and my daughters. i'm very much active every day playing soccer and baseball and -- and, you know, keeping up with three little boys. so yeah, you got to be in good health to do that. >> yeah. i was going to say, none of us know how this is going to turn out. we thank you so much for taking the time, christine baranski. i hope to be a grandmother one day. what do they call you, your grandchildren? >> they call me -- they call me mini, mini for mini haha because my late husband wanted to be kimosa kimosabe. long story. >> thank you so much. we'll be right back. everyone is working a little differently now.

>> reporter: emily's husband, jason phillips, is an er doctor in north texas. >> i had a high chance of getting exposed. i think my wife came up with the best solution. i didn't want to stay in a hotel full time and be separated from them. >> reporter: emily turned her experience into a movement. there are now more than 22,000 people in the rvs for mds group. so far, at least 345 matches have been made with hundreds pending. >> bye-bye -- >> reporter: emily runs the group with more than 100 volunteers, including holly haggard, the first person to offer up her rv to the phillips family. >> it doesn't matter who you vote for it doesn't matter what you're religious beliefs are, none of that matters. everybody has come together. >> reporter: their successful matches from virginia, california, and north carolina. >> i read about the first emergency physician who has passed, and my stomach sank. i'm like, we need this now. >> reporter: dena chretien turned to the group to find an rv for her husband, john, an er physician.
