7:04 am
help keep everybody safe. and we really hope you're doing that, too, if you can. if you're out on the front lines we want to thank you thank you for doing that, too. we, of course, will keep bringing you the news you need throughout this crisis. and that is where we begin. the crisis. the government's clearest road map yet to restoring some form of normalcy in america. president trump has laid out the guidelines for gradually reopening the country starting as soon as today in some states with the goal of balancing the economy while keeping people safe. but there are concerns that a lack of widespread testing makes that very difficult to truly control this crisis. anthony? >> more than 22 million americans have filed for unemployment since mid-march, including more than 5 million just last week. the nationwide death toll has soared past 33,000. the future of tens of millions of people could depend on the decisions made in the days ahead. paula reid is at the white house. what do we know about these
7:05 am
guidelines? >> good morning, anthony. yesterday president trump told state governors that they will be calling the shots on implementing this new staggered approach to reopen the country. that is a reversal of his comments earlier this week where he said he had total authority to reopen the states. but this approach gives cover to local leaders who want to get back to business while also shielding the white house from blame if there are new outbreaks. >> america wants to be open, and americans want to be open. >> reporter: president trump thursday announced new federal guidelines for reopening parts of the country. >> based on the latest data, our team of experts now agrees that we can begin the next front in our war, which we are calling opening up america again. >> reporter: it is a three-phased approach that should only begin after a state sees a two-week decline in coronavirus cases. and encourages a robust testing
7:06 am
program for health care workers. in phase one, individuals and businesses will still be advised to maintain social distancing while they gradually return to work. large venues will also be able to open if they can maintain strict physical distancing. >> we did not put a timeline on any of the phases. we want the governors with the data that they have, community by community, to be setting those timelines. >> reporter: if states are able to go two weeks without a rebound of cases, they can move to phase two. venues, including restaurants, theaters, sports arenas and places of worship could operate under moderate social distancing. schools and organized youth activities could also reopen. >> through all phases, continuing the good hygiene practices, continuing the respect for spaces between individuals because we know that we still have an issue with asymptomatic spread. >> as for who decides when to move through the phases, just
7:07 am
days after saying he had absolute authority to reopen the country, the president backed down. >> we're recommending certain things. they'll be in place dependent on what the governor wants to do. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci cautioned states need enough testing and medical equipment to respond to a possible resurgence. >> the flexibility is that there may be some setbacks. let's face it, this is unchartered water. there may be some setbacks that we may have to pull back a little. there are multiple checkpoints of safety there. you can call it whatever you want. but even if you are in phase one, two, three, it's not okay, game over. >> reporter: local officials and business leaders say more testing is needed before they can safely reopen. but this plan does not provide a national testing strategy. instead it leaves local leaders to develop and implement their own testing plan. gayle? >> thank you, paula. we are two weeks away from president trump's original
7:08 am
target date of may 1st. but he says under the new plan some states could be ready to start reopening as soon as today. these are the ten states with the fewest reported cases like wyoming. it has the least, just under 300. north dakota, alaska and montana also have you fewer than 500 cases. compare that to the ten states with the most led by here in new york with more than 223,000, new jersey has more than 75,000, massachusetts, michigan and pennsylvania have more than 25,000 reported cases each. actual numbers could be higher because of under testing. our dr. david agus joins us from los angeles with more on this part of the story. david, it's good to see you. every time i hear the word ca cases, what i know is we're talking about people. when i think about people, in order to save the people, you have to do the testing. we just can't seem to get that right. so in paula's piece, she mentioned a robust form of testing. what exactly does that mean?
7:09 am
>> i agree with you, gayle. we have to think about the people. there have been at least 2,000 deaths in the united states each of the last three days. testing is not just the number of tests, the reagents, the people to do the tests. the antibody tests. the social tracing. it's all of them. and so the key is that each state have all of those methodologies and equipment in stock and ready to go in that enterprise program. i'm not confident yet each of the states do. and so we don't even have an antibody test idea in this country, let alone a state having a program to implement it among its citizens. so the plan is interesting with the three steps, and i like that. it makes sense. but we certainly need each of those testing programs in place before we can do it? >> do you think, david, the truth of the matter is we all need to be tested, especially since this virus has no symptoms for some people?
7:10 am
shouldn't we all just be tested? >> well, there are two parts to testing. do you have the virus? we need a robust program to test people especially in underserve neighborhoods where there hasn't been a lot of testing. and now we need to identify who has had the virus. especially, again, with those asymptomatic people. you may have had it and may be immune. both of those programs need to be done. work places are planning on regular testing programs for their employees who are symptomatic and what we call a surveillance program so just going around and testing people randomly and seeing, are there asymptomatic people within our workplace? we saw in the state of south dakota, one wheat processing plant caused an enormous outbreak where hundreds of people got the virus. >> given the lack of testing in places that have lower cases like north dakota and wyoming, is it safe, do you think, to reopen places like that, states like that? >> well, the difficult part is,
7:11 am
you know, phase one there is not essential travel is not allowed. but phase two, so two weeks later when they open it up, people can just cross state borders. no matter how good you are, what you need is people to cross borders. what happened in italy was in northern italy, the great restrictions and everyone went to southern italy. policy causes spread of the virus. what i don't want to see happen is one county relaxes because there are few cases and everybody goes out to dinner from the county over and spreads the virus there. the president did say it doesn't have to be a whole state policy. governors can do it county by county. >> there is troubling news from south korea today where people that had previously tested negative are now testing positive. so what does that tell us about the immunity of covid-19? >> it's certainly scary results. over 140 people in south korea. south korea you have to test negative, two tests, 48 hours
7:12 am
apart. and these people turned out positive. were they false negative tests which we know happen with current testing or did the virus come back in those individuals? we don't know the answer yet. studies are ongoing. but we need to do those studies here. we have the same kind of having the disease in south korea. i want the data here in the united states. >> i think we can certainly take lessons from others. thank you dr. agus. tony? >> all right. still so many unknowns. here's one thing we know. the state hardest hit by the coronavirus is extending orders to stay at home. new york will remain largely shut down until at least may 15th. there are signs that social distancing measures are working there, but the crisis is far from over and millions are still in danger. our lead national correspondent david begnaud is in an eerily quiet times square. good morning. may 15th. what else are you learning? >> well, tony, the governor's
7:13 am
statements about being able to better control the spread of the virus is bearing out to be true when you walk into some hospitals. we went to one in nassau county and they are no longer overwhelmed. the case load is much more manageable. and nassau county if you set aside new york city, excluding the city, nassau county has more cases and deaths than any other county in america. take a look at what we saw at the hospital. >> so this is our triage desk. >> reporter: what we saw inside north shore hospital on long island, appears to echo what we've been hearing from new york governor andrew cuomo. >> icu admissions number is also down. significantly for the first time. >> reporter: it's welcome news. some 200 people have died inside of this hospital alone from covid-19. but we were told over the last 72 hours, they've actually discharged more coronavirus patients than they've admitted. >> thank you everybody. >> how does it feel to be wheeled out of here?
7:14 am
>> i'm on top of the world right now, yeah. i know i get to live for another day. >> reporter: the andover subacutei rehabilitation center confirms 15 bodies were held and removed from a holding room on monday. the deaths are believed to be related to covid-19. the nursing home says it's been working relentlessly to contain the virus and safeguard our residents and staff. the health and safety of our residents and staff is our ut most priority and responsibility. fr francesca veen has a relative living there but was not told anyone has the covid virus. >> i'm sick and tired of being told i cannot talk to her. >> reporter: around the country, coronavirus patients are dying alone. families cannot visit them. but in louisiana, a hospice has opened believed to be the first dedicated to terminally ill
7:15 am
covid-19 patients where families are allowed. carne lius garcia spent much of the day at the bed of his father wi willie friloux. >> i see the guy that raised me, that brought me into this world. i can still stand next to him and say my peace before he goes. >> reporter: the organization heart of hospice has set up inside of east jefferson general hospital in metairie, louisiana. here, two family members per day are given ppe and allowed to be present at the bedside. the nurses help connect those who can't be here. louisiana's governor says hospitalizations are declining in the new orleans region, which is a hot spot for covid cases. and is now where compassionate care guarantees that patients will not die lone.
7:16 am
heart of hospice provided us with a video with the permission of the family. one of the most haunting things about this vicious disease is the thought that so many family members are dying alone. and so for those families in louisiana, to die with their loved ones at their side is really a game changer, and it means so much to those families. >> i can imagine, david. that's one of the toughest parts of this whole thing for families. coronavirus concerns reportedly will allow president trump's longtime political fixer to be released from prison. michael cohen is serving a three-year term for bank fraud, tax evasion, lying to congress and violating campaign finance laws. reports say cohen will serve his last 18 months at home after two weeks of self-quarantining. last month, a judge had rejected cohen's request to get out early due to the pandemic. the coronavirus is now blamed for killing more than
7:17 am
146,000 people worldwide. some countries in europe are lifting restrictions on movement, but british leaders are still worried the outbreak has not peaked there. the prime minister has extended the lockdown for another two weeks. >> the worst thing we can do is to ease up too soon. >> reporter: britain's secretary of state says keeping the country closed is necessary to protect a health care system still consulsing under the strain of so many coronavirus cases. the uk's death toll is expected to surpass 14,000 today. a figure weighing heavily on the minds of everyone, especially health care workers. >> i finishing you tthink if yo about the whole situation it's too much. >> reporter: the coronavirus hit home after prince charles' diagnosis. >> at first i was quite concerned. he fits the profile of somebody
7:18 am
at the age he's at which is very risky. and so i was a little bit worried. >> reporter: the royal couple say people need to make mental health a priority given so many are concerned about so much. >> i think very carefully about my grandparents who are at the age they're at, and we're doing everything we can to make sure they're isolated away and protected from this. but it does worry me. >> reporter: there are some early glimmers of hope elsewhere, including in spain which is allowing some factory and construction workers to go back to work while in italy, which was so badly hit by the coronavirus, some regions are allowing stores to reopen. but in wuhan, china, where this all began, an admission by the chinese government the death toll there is over 50% what they originally reported. for "cbs this morning, imti imtiaz tyab, london. ahead, our dr. tara narula will join us to answer your questions about the coronavirus, including what the new normal could look like when this country

7:32 am
back in december, chef thomas keller's famed french laundry restaurant bustled with staff turning out fine cuisine. but it's now closed. he's been forced to lay off nearly all his 450 employees at three restaurants. >> our revenue source was cut off immediately. there was just -- one day you're doing business. you have revenue. the next day there's nothing. >> reporter: yet keller says when he filed a claim with his insurance claim, he was denied. >> this is a time of crisis right now. and we need help. >> reporter: others tell similar stories. chef edouardo jordan runs three top restaurants in seattle. his claims also denied. >> that's not fair. that's what what we pay our business insurance for each and every month. >> reporter: at issue is what's called business interruption insurance, insurance coverage designed to replace business income lost in a disaster. the chefs have now formed a group to pressure insurers to pay restaurant claims nationwide.

it's fundamentally uninsurable. >> reporter: he says most insurance contracts don't cover viruses or pandemics. his group and others want the government to set up a recovery fund for businesses backed by taxpayer dollars. >> they are the only people that have enough size and scale. we're talking about trillions of dollars. >> reporter: but thomas keller says he did have virus coverage and paid extra for it. his insurer hartford wouldn't comment but in keller's policy there's this language. we will pay for loss or damage by fungus, wet rot, dry rot, bacteria and virus. >> they're still denying my claim. >> reporter: that's why he's now suing one of two lawsuits filed by attorney john hoteling who says -- >> it's the same game they've always done. >> reporter: he also represents the chefs group. >> they're holding back the money they owe, the portion they owe for leverage. to leverage in washington for
7:35 am
people to scream and for the taxpayers and the rest of them to bail them out. that's not right. >> reporter: if the insurance industry was to say to you, look, this is just not what this insurance was designed for and we can't afford to take on this burden either, what would you chefs say? >> that's not good enough. >> these insurance companies have to step up and dig deeper. they have to figure it out and hold their part of the bargain up. >> reporter: another major insurance group told us that many contracts just simply don't cover communicable diseases. but there are reports of proposals in several states now to try to force insurance companies to retroactively cover many of these business interruption claims due to coronavirus, gayle. >> that's a common complaint about insurance companies. you pay you pay, you pay and when you need them, there's some excuses. thank you, anna. we look forward to going to a restaurant. there's a lot less traffic

it's friday, april 17th, 2020. happy friday to you. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony ka dopel and anthony mason. is it safe. we'll answer your questions about plans to reopen the country and how to stay healthy. >> we'll honor those lost from the coronavirus today. >> and words of healing. a powerful reading from america's youth poet, amanda gorman only on "cbs this morning." >> she's so good. >> first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00.
8:01 am
president trump has laid out the guidelines for gradually reopening the country starting as soon as today in some states. >> local officials and business leaders say more testing is needed before they can safely reopen. but this plan does not provide a national testing strategy. >> testing is not just the number of tests, the reagents, the people who do the test, the antibiotic tests, the social tracing. it's all of them. >> but governors statements about being able to better control the spread of the virus is true. we want to nassau county outside new york city and they are no longer overwhelmed. >> since the lockdown began, this 68-year-old man does a concert in front of his house. this one cheers me up especially, because the man i'm talking about is my dad, malcolm, and the house is the house that i grew up in. take a look. ♪
8:02 am
♪ >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> we're all cheered by that, james corden's dad, malcolm. we like that, anthony. welcome back to "cbs this morning." you know, anthony, it's friday. all day yesterday i was thinking it was wednesday. so i just want to remind everybody, it's friday. do you get confused with the days? they all run together to me. >> i'm not sure what year it is anymore, gayle. i have this feeling all the time. it's like where are we? >> yes. it is friday. it's 2020. big weekend plans. i'm going to go to the kitchen to the family room. really excited about that. like many of you we are following guidelines to stay home as much as possible, and we ask you to please do the same. the president laid out the administration's plan to begin reopening this country suggesting less affected states could start doing so by today.
8:03 am
it includes three phases to lessen restrictions. it would have to meet and maintain certain criteria. what does that include? lessening of the symptoms in cases within a 14 -day period. hospitals would have to be able to treat all patients without being overwhelmed. and they have to test health care workers. >> after initially claiming total authority the president now says this decision is in the hands of the governors. >> i don't want anyone coming back that isn't in a position to come back. the last thing is for new york to come back too soon. i think it will be quicker but it's got to be safe. >> meanwhile this is the first active duty service member to die from the coronavirus. 41-year-old charles that canner junior of arkansas was a sailor on board the uss theodore roosevelt. he was diagnosed march 30th and
8:04 am
died two weeks later. still an ongoing crisis there. every friday we are taking time to answer your most pressing questions about the coronavirus. as president trump looks to reopen the country, many of you have questions about what our new normal might look like. we brought in our senior medical correspondent that's dr. tara narula here with answers. good morning. the president's guidelines are nonbinding and he left it up to governors. there's going to be variability there. generally speaking, what might the new normal look like when we begin this phased reopening? >> well, it's going to be new. and it's going to mean distancing, but a little bit of freedom. so the first important thing that they recommended is that vulnerable populations continue to shelte in place. for the rest of us who may venture out, it's important to maintain the maximum distance
8:05 am
between others and avoid gathering with more than ten people. if you look at movie theaters or restaurants, those types of events will be allowed as long as you maintain maximum social distance. same for gyms. bars will not be allowed to open in phase one. schools closed should remain closed. we're talking about the work force. workers can begin to slowly go back in phases. maybe 20 % of the work force and then 40% and then 80%. also they're encouraging telework for that phase one process as well. limited to no visits to nursing facilities and hospitals, so those are really going to continue to be prohibited. and then minimizing nonessential travel. >> so we aren't really sure, because of under testing how many americans have this illness. also out of south korea, there are reports of people who have had it, may be able to get it a second time. with that in mind, how worried
8:06 am
should we be about a resurgence of the disease? >> well, i think we have to be careful. you're heard us talk a lot about the need for testing so we don't encounter a situation where we open up and then once again we're seeing lots of cases. when you're talking act these cases of, quote, reinfection, that the korean cdc reported. most of the experts that we've talked to have said it is unlikely these are true reinfections. it would be unlikely to get infected and within 12 weeks get reinfected. those were probably false negative because of the way the test was collected or processed. this is different, however, from a situation when you're looking out six months or a year. in those cases, if you did not develop full immunity, you may be able to get reinfected. there may be individuals who don't mount a strong antibody response. we'll have to see. >> allen on facebook asks if you've fully recovered from the
8:07 am
virus, should you still wear a face mask? >> yes, allen, and everyone else. the cdc recommends that've phenomenon you have recovered when you venture out, continue to wear the face masks. also important, in terms of coming out of your own isolation, if you were sick, you want to follow the guidelines of fever-free for 7 2 hours. either two negative tests 24 hours apart, or seven days since the first onset of symptoms. >> tara, i've noticed when i take walks in a park, a lot of runners and bikers are not wearing masks. a viewer asks if they should be wearing masks. >> i notice this too on my run yesterday. so this is something that we all should be aware of. if you are living somewhere that is remote or desolate and you're on a trail where no one else is around, it's probably fine to run or bike or walk without a mask. but if you're in new york city where you're encountering
8:08 am
others, you want to go ahead and wear a mask. one of the recommendations is something called a buff which runners know about. it's a moisture wicking, quick trying fabric you put over your mouth. you want to try to run or bike at off peak times and you may want to increase the distance from six feet to maybe 10 or 12 feet from other people just because of wind and the heavy breathing that you may be doing. it's possible that those droplets could travel farther. >> tara, i have two questions. one from barb and shannon. barb says should we wipe down groceries before putting them away, and shannon from north carolina says should we wear gloves when we receive mail or packages? >> similar concept. the thinking is it's unlikely this is a high source of transmission. theoretically, you could potentially touch something that someone else has sneezed or
8:09 am
coughed on and the drop lets, if you would contact them on your hands or touch your face, eyes or nose and can get infected that way. there was a study that was reported last month that said that the virus is able to live on cardboard for about 4 hours, plastic and stainless steel for two or three days. that doesn't mean it's infectious at that point. when you bring your groceries in, wipe them down, change the packages, wash yoush hands and disinfect the area, but gloves not really necessary. >> we've been washing your groceries, and i'm happy to hear maybe this saturday we don't have to wash every single one of them and ruin all the produce. that's good news. doctor, thank you very much. ahead, 48 hours shows us a florida man's fight to get released from prison nearly two years after his murder conviction was overturne ♪ limu emu & doug
