♪ good morning to you, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's tuesday, april 28th, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony maismais on and tony dokoupil. one of the biggest states is ready to join. we'll ask about the potential risk of that. >> new testing guidelines. president trump announces a national program. what critics say is insufficient and d too vague. how some governors are pushing back. high anxiety. new requirements from airlines as passengers ask how safe it is to fly during the pandemic. >> and temperature check.

how thermal imaging technology could be part of the new normal for stores after the pandemic. the ceo of target will tell us how the entire retail experience might change. >> it's changing, but first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we're doing everything in our power to gradually reopen our nation and to safely get our people back to work. they want to get back to work. >> the white house is rolling out new covid-19 testing guidelines for states looking to reopen their economies. >> just like we learn how to adjust after 9/11, we can learn how to adjust after this. >> president trump also encouraged governors to consider reopening schools. >> i think you'll see a lot of schools open up, even if it's for a very short period of time. i think it would be a good thing. >> technical issues plaguing a second round of emergency funding for small businesses. many report getting error messages. >> new york has canceled its democratic presidential primary. >> it's a blow to american

democracy. >> election employees are nervous about conducting elections. >> the markets rallied around the world monday as governments prepare to gradually ease restrictions and restart economic activity. >> all that -- >> going viral. >> you can see in the video, there is no room for social distancing on the american airlines flight. >> and all that matters. >> after questions were raised about north korean leader kim jong-un's health, the south korean government is now saying he is, quote, alive and well. saying in the wonson area. >> yes, i remember how sad my kids were when my dog rusty had to go stay in the wonson area. >> we have a video from russia where a group of young siblings have grown closer to each other in isolation and can teach us all a thing or two about the true spirit of giving. ♪ ♪ in a hundred worlds i'd find

you and i'd say i do ♪ >> i salute the parents who are filming it and just letting it happen. i love it. >> this morning's eye opener presented by toyota. >> where is she going with that cup? and tony dokoupil, does stephen colbert have a new hairdo? welcome to "cbs this morning." >> i know. >> from our homes to yours. >> all right, mr. colbert. we begin with this. not steven's hair or the little girl taking the cup from the toilet. we begin with more states letting businesses open up and pressure from the president for schools to reopen as well. at least 21 different states have now eased various restrictions, in many cases without meeting federal guidelines on the decline in the reported illnesses. tony? >> and that includes texas. the second largest economy in the u.s. the new policy there starts friday. that would be may 1st. it involves a wide range of businesses but not schools. at least not so far.

janet shamlian is at the house of pies in houston. janet, good morning. so will the house be open for people sitting down to eat on friday? >> tony, good morning. it's open for take-out only right now but come friday, they are going to be seating people here around the clock as the state's restrictions are leensed. it comes as another states are making similar decisions right now. they are weighing economic viability versus saving lives. texas is open for business. starting friday, the lone star state will allow restaurants, retailers, movie theaters and malls to operate at 25% capacity under strict social distancing guidelines. >> we need to see two weeks of data to confirm no flare up of covid-1919. >> but the state's daily covid cases have been hovering in the high triple digits for most of the past week. at least one dallas restaurant owner says he won't be opening friday. even though he can. >> i'd rather take our time

getting back and make sure that curve is fully flaettened or ona decrease before having another outbreak the government would then decide to shut down once more. >> reporter: in georgia, many restaurant tables sat empty, even though dinie ining areas reopened monday. others, a glimpse of life post quarantine. >> our servers and bartenders will be wearing masks. there's hand sanitizer. we have disposable menus. >> reporter: this montana mall was also back in business with a small but steady stream of customers. >> i think largely most of the folks are observing the social distancing. >> reporter: meanwhile, in ohio, retail stores are set to open may 12th with protections in place. president trump suggested monday that states could consider reopening schools before the end of the academic year. but 43 states and washington, d.c., have already ordered or recommends school buildings remain closed. >> i think it would be a good thing because, as you see in

terms of what this vicious virus goes after, young people steeemo do very well. >> but teachers and school officials are very concerned about that. they say it could be close to impossible to keep students six feet apart in school. here in texas, the governor is planning to increase testing. so far about 290,000 tests have been done. sounds like a lot but it's only about 1% of the state's nearly 30 million people. anthony? >> janet, thank you. the pandemic has taken more than 56,000 american lives, and one of the most widely used scientific models from the university of washington has just raised its projected death toll to more than 74,000. the trump administration is offering what the president calls a new strategy to increase coronavirus testing across the country. ben tracy is at the white house.

ben, is this actually a new strategy? >> not really. most of this is a repackaging of things the administration has already done, but with the promise of more tests. really this is a list of suggestions that states can follow. >> and the testing is not going to be a problem at all. >> president trump's new blueprint for testing does not set specific goals or timeframes and said the federal government should be a supplier of last resort. it still leaves it up to the states to create and manage their own testing programs. but the president hopes it will help states quickly reopen their economies. >> i recommend they do it as quickly as possible but safely. >> reporter: nearly 14 weeks after the first reported u.s. cases, cbs news has learned the federal government plans to send every state enough test kits to screen 2% of their population every month. overall, the u.s. has conducted more than 5.5 million tests, but that's just around 1.6% of the country. short of what some health

experts say it will take to savely save safely reopen schools and businesses. in recent weeks, president trump has been questioned whether a national testing plan is needed. he says governors told him on a phone call monday they are happy with the federal response. >> the testing itself is going very well. no complaints. >> reporter: but that's not what some governors like virginia's ralph northam and ned lamont are actually saying. >> in order to reopen our economy, we really need that testing. >> i'm tired of asking. we're working with the big labs. we're going to put together our own testing protocol and get it done. >> reporter: some democratic lawmakers are criticizing the white house testing plan. senator patty murray of washington state says it will accomplish nothing new. but there is no doubt that we need more testing. a study out of harvard says that by june we should be testing 5 million people a day and 20 million in july.

tony? >> ben tracy for us at the white house, thank you. let's get to david dr. agus from los angeles. he's going to talk about the new testing guidelines from the white house. good morning. so the white house now has a goal of 2% of every state's population tested every month. no timetable for achieving that, but let's take the number. 2%. is that enough? >> no. just an arbitrary 2% doesn't make sense. every state needs a number of tests depending on the population and the density of its cities. and there needs to be a program. the thing that struck me was it said states develop their own program and decide what to do. we have the greatest epidemiologists in the world at the cdc. fauci's group at the nih. i would much rather have them decide what are the policies for surveillance screening, who should be tested, how we do our testing, and how we prevent a significant second wave from happening than leave it to the

states at the present time. >> so just to underscore that. you are looking for a federal program rather than a series of programs state to state? >> i don't think the states have the -- many of them have the capacity or the people to put together a program that makes sense. in order to prevent a second wave you not only have to test the symptomatic people because this virus is dominantly asymptomatic. you need what we call a surveillance program so people go out and test people of different races, ethnicities, difference locations and soco economic classes to see where there are large numbers of asymptomatic cases so you can implement public policy there. there needs to be a real strategy, not just say leave it to the states for a strategy. >> dr. agus, another headline out of yesterday's news conference was a suggestion from the president that states, quote, strongly consider reopening schools by the end of this academic year. what are the risks are doing so?

>> there's a recent study that showed that children much less incidents we think in getting the virus and dramatically lower incidence of getting really sick from the virus. the problem is they still can have the virus and can be asymptomatic and spread the virus. what worries me is if we put schools together, the kid comes home and have parents, grandparents, neighbors. we don't want them to be an invisible assailant, if you will, to come home with a virus that can harm others. actually restructuring schools so that we may split classes so there's more social distancing. kids wearing masks. there needs to be a strategy, not just say we're going to open schools. >> all right. dr. david agus, thank you very much. gayle? >> thank you both. round two of the government's loan program to help small businesses got off to a pretty rocky start. banks had problems getting loan applications into the small business administration's overwhelmed computer system yesterday. another $310 billion is

available after the initial $349 billion ran out in just 13 days. ed o'keefe has that story. >> this program was developed to help small companies, and i think that's where they need to start and look at first. >> reporter: samantha canestro runs a business that makes seats for mass transit. >> it wasn't until last week, the 22nd, that i was able to finally get my application submitted. and that was after the first round of funds was already completely gone. >> reporter: for canestro and other small business owners, news that organizations like the l.a. lakers were approved for a loan is hard to take. the lakers are valued at more than $4.4 billion and are returning the more than $4 million they received. >> i'm not spiteful for anyone that received it. >> reporter: scott owns the courtyard brewery in new orleans and was hoping for a loan to stay afloat. >> it makes for an unfair situation like we are the ones

who really need the help and a lot of us aren't getting it. >> reporter: even with the additional funding available, rob nichols, head of the american bankers association, said banks struggled on monday to submit applications. >> the launch this week was a little frustrating. you had banks desperate to help their millions of small business customers and clients all across the country. and the access to the system today was a little choppy. >> reporter: nicholas warned with about 30 million small businesses, this second round of aid is also likely to run out quickly. >> in the first round about 2 million small businesses that blew through that $350 billion. >> more than $2 billion has been returned or declined so far and will be made available to others. the bankers association says that banks need more guidance on how exactly to quickly get that funding to their customers. samantha canestro tells me she

needs to know by the end of this week whether she's getting that assistance or she'll have to start cutting back. anthony? >> big dilemma for small businesses. a goldman sachs survey found 90% of the small businesses in their program applied for the loans, ed. 70% still waiting. not a good number. thanks, ed. in the last two months, tens of thousands of americans have died from the coronavirus and because of how contagious it is, some families have suffered multiple losses. throughout this crisis, we're sharing the stories behind the numbers. our lead national correspondent david begnaud joins us from his home in new york. good morning. >> good morning. we'll take you to louisiana and michigan. both have some of the highest death rates when it comes to the virus. minority communities have been hit particularly hard. as they have elsewhere around the country. take michigan for example. african-americans account for 14% of the population. but they are 41% of the people who are dying from the virus. so we'll start in detroit.

you're about to meet a lady who lost her mother, grandmother and her aunt. >> march 26th was really kind of the day that, you know, changed everything. >> reporter: biba adams didn't know it yet but on that day she'd say good-bye to two generations of her family. >> it's when my aunt passed. my mom went to the hospital. my grandmother went fo the hospital. and that would be the last day that i would see them all. >> reporter: her mother and grandmother, elaine and minnie head, lived together in detroit. they worshipped together at the same church. and they died in the same hospital just two weeks apart. and that is her mom, 70-year-old elaine. she sang in the church choir. a retired school counselor. 89-year-old minnie was the church mother. losing them all at once was really overwhelming. >> i'm thinking about what holidays are going to look like now. what so much of my historical

legacy is lost. >> reporter: to south louisiana now. kerstin duffy lost her husband. >> he had a larger than life personality. he sure did. at 6'7", keenan duffy was the life of the party. it was earlier this month the father two of from lafayette, louisiana, took his mother to the hospital. she tested positive for the coronavirus. and about a week later, he wound up in the same hospital. did she know he was in the hospital? >> not at first. we didn't want to tell her, you know, that he was in the hospital because we were still trying to get her to recover. >> reporter: kerstin says sceken kept fighting a fever. >> i can't have another night like i had last night. >> reporter: keenan duffy died april 14th. he would have turned 40. he leaves behind his wife, a stepdaughter and 11-year-old son kaden. >> anything you want to say about your dad that we should know? >> he's very supportive of me,

and football and he'll be there at every game. he was always on the sidelines saying go get 'em, go get 'em. >> kaden's dad keenan had been at the grocery store after he dropped his mother off at the hospital. there's no way to say where he may have contracted the virus. i will tell you, keenan's mother is home. she's recovering. she has survived. and she is getting better at her home in south louisiana. gayle? >> it's nice to hear the good news of that, david. but this is the thing. that's why i think it's so important to tell these stories because so often numbers and statistics don't hit home. but when you can put a name and a face and see how these people were loved, it really makes a difference. and you brought that out when you hear the stories of both of those families. >> more than 50,000 people killed, gayle, around the country. these are just four families. we'll keep telling them every morning. families are willing to tell us

those stories. >> it's important for us to hear. and families want their loved ones remembered. many planes are flying almost empty during this pandemic. that's a good thing. but this stuffed airliner shows that is not always the case. ahead, what airlines are doing to protect the air crews and passengers you see in that shot. many of the people aren't even wearing masks. we don't when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place. but when you have the chase mobile app, your bank can be virtually any place. so, when you get a check... you can deposit it from here.

welcome back to "cbs this morning". take a look at this american airlines flight packed with people going from new york city to charlotte over the weekend. this clearly is not the recommended six feet of distance between passengers and some of them are not wearing masks. the passenger who shared this video on social media says she quote never felt less safe or cared for in her life. we should note that most airlines are flying planes carrying only a small number of passengers due to a large drop in demand. american told our charlotte affiliate it's quote looking out for our customers well being to give them peace of mind while they travel with us. we're moving quickly on these

enhancements. american plans to offer masks and disinfectant to passengers starting in may and all flight attendants will be wearing masks as of friday. other airlines are giving similar orders to their flight crews and starting on monday all yet blue passenge-- jetblue pas have to wear masks. as alarming those pictures are, this is unusual because most flights are close to empty. typical load is 15%. airlines are losing a lot of money on these flights. but it is really kind of scary to see people on those flights so close without masks. >> ah-ha. a little surprising to me because, anthony, i always hear the flights are empty and keep in mind that's recirculated air you're sitting there without wearing a mask. if anything if you have to fly, please wear a mask or maybe now is a good time for a road trip in the car. those are fun too.

the fight to stop the coronavirus is going on throughout the u.s. government including a pentagon agency known for out of the box innovation. three years ago the defense advance research project agency known as darpa set the very ambitious goal of stopping disease outbreak in just 60 days. first on "cbs this morning" we have an inside look at that project. it's in the middle of its first real test. catherine herridge is at the pentagon with more. i have to say i like how these people are thinking but realistically row realityi jrea. >> reporter: darpa has a reputation for being ahead of the curve. while clinical trials can take years darpa says it can't wait. >> people say that's impossible. that's what we're here to do. >> reporter: darpa, one of the pentagon's most mysterious agencies is usually hidden.

wouldn't consider. >> reporter: blood from the first covid-19 survivor in the u.s. was flown here to rob carnahan at vanderbilt university along with other samples from survivors affected. after reviewing over 3,000 antibodies, they are now down to just a handful. they hope will best combat the virus. >> each antibody has its own personality. >> reporter: the most potent antibodies will be grown in giant sealed tanks. darpa wants to take the concept to the next level. >> we have said rather than doing this in those big bioreactors let's turn our body into the bioreactor. >> reporter: they hope to inject people with a genetic code. >> a blueprint for the antibody and the cells take up the blueprint and able to produce the antibody themselves. >> reporter: unlike a vaccine

investigators say these antibodies could provide protection within hours not weeks. >> we're not teaching the body how to pish we're giving them the fish. >> reporter: darpa hopes their project could provide temporary protection in time for an anticipated second wave for high-risk groups. >> our health care workers, our front line first responders and then even potentially maybe the close personal contacts of those who are infected. >> reporter: but darpa's primary mission is safeguarding u.s. troops who often deploy quickly to global outbreaks. >> i don't want to use the word opportunity but in some ways this is an opportunity for to us pick a sure we learn all the potential lessons we can learn with this and apply those lessons learned to be more prepared. >> there's going next time. >> there's going to be a next time. >> reporter: on the timeline the scientists we spoke with hope to identify the best antibodies and tart clinical trials as early

it feeds a global theatrical release. >> reporter: when theaters do re-open it will be a different experience. >> you'll be spaced one or two seats apart from next person. you're going to see auditorium levels at 50% capacity. >> reporter: what's on the screen could change as well. actor gabrielle carteras is president of sag after representing working and many out of work actors. she says social distancing on set will be difficult. >> the way shows are written, the way shores shot -- >> the way actors interact. >> everything. >> in turn it will change what people see on the screen. >> that's right. what they see on the screen. how stories are being told. >> reporter: now this is the famous chinese theater in the heart of hollywood. it's been closed since march. some states are going to allow movie theaters to re-open this week but we spoke with amc and

he has a very big tongue. the dog didn't give to it family, the family gave it to the dog. so winston is going thank you, family. thank you. >> so vlad, your heroes are being honored in a spectacular way. what you got? >> it is, indeed spectacular. first responders and medical staff are being honored with some high flying tribs. check this out. those are x-15 fighter jets flying over a hospital in south carolina. the state's national guard flu over other health departmeospit region. it put on air show over hospitals in san diego on friday and later today united states navy and air force will perform a fly over in parts of new york, new jersey and pennsylvania to salute front line workers. just a reminder these are not air shows, quick fly bybys that

will last for just a few seconds. >> very cool. people should not congregate but if it's in the airer and i'm looking at it, it's an air show. it counts as far as i'm concerned. >> indeed. very cool. >> have you been up in one much those? >> day piece for "cbs this morning" a couple of years ago where i had the honor and privilege of going up with a blue angel. it was an incredible experience. at the very end i did not throw up but die not pass out except for a brief moment where my tongue logged out of my mouth like winston. but it was a great time. >> post that picture on social media. appreciate the honesty. >> vlad can make anything look good. >> what have you got for us on the pentagon. >> remember that movie close

encounters of the third kind. the pentagon is leasing video of unidentified phenomenon. >> there's a whole fleet of them. >> my gosh. they are going against the within. the wind is 125 miles to the west. >> this footage was leaked years ago. we showed it to you back in 2017. infrared cameras released an ufo. they are clearing up any ideas that the video was real. so much goes... into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2... medicines in... 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines... while taking dovato.

2020. welcome back to "cbs this morning." i'm gayle king with tony dokoupil and anthony mason. safe shopping as more retailers are allowed to reopen, the ceo of target will tell us how his industry is adapting. >> image of health, how high-tech sensors could let stores monitor customers' temperatures from afar. and sean penn's new role, the oscar winner tells us how his non-profit is aiding the testing effort. >> go sean. but first, here's today's i-opi eye-opener at 8:00.

more states are letting businesses open up and pressure for the president to reopen schools as well. >> hundreds are making similar decisions weighing economic viability versus saving lives. >> most of this is a repackaging of things the administration has already done, but with the promise of more tests. really this is a list of suggestions that states can follow. >> louisiana and michigan both have some of the highest death rates when it comes to the virus, and minority communities in those states have been hit particularly hard, as they have elsewhere around the country. >> the white house now has a goal of 2% of every state's population tested every month, is that enough? >> no, i mean just an arbitrary 2% doesn't make sense. >> prince charles and wife camilla joining in the clappinging for health care workers. this was the couple's first appearance together since prince charles recovered from the coronavirus. >> harry and meghan saw that video and left the family all

over again. it looks like the first time they've clapped in their lives. is this supposed to hurt that much? the only thing i've ever touched is teacups, ooh, ow, ow, ow. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> ha. i was thinking exactly the same thing. welcome back to "cbs this morning." anthony, i never think of clapping as that hard. i never do. that was an interesting visual, i'll just leave it at that. >> a little self-conscious and a little awkward, yes, right, gayle. we're starting here this hour the u.s. is quickly approaching 1 million cases of the coronavirus. it comes as texas is set for a partial reopening friday, despite not meeting federal guidelines on the decline in reported illnesses. governor greg abbott says restaurants, movie theaters and malls are among the businesses that can open at 25% capacity. texas is one of the hardest hit

states. it has had two consecutive days of case declines since its last day of increases. federal guidelines recommend a downward trajectory within 14 days. meanwhile in illinois, a judge has ruled the state's extended stay at home order is unconstitutional. a stay lawmaker filed a lawsuit against the extension, which had been set to continue until may 30th. the state's governor called the ruling dangerous. >> at best, no one is better off because of this ruling, and at worst, people's health and safety will suffer tremendously. >> that's governor j.b. pritzker. he says he plans to appeal the judge's ruling which would end his order this friday, gayle, may 1st. target continues to change how it operates to keep employees and customers safe during this pandemic. the huge retailer has kept its nearly 2,000 stores open across the country and online sales

have increased more than, listen to this number, 275% this month. chairman and ceo brian cornell joins us, outside of target in sarasota, florida. good morning to you, brian cornell. really good to see you. i want to start with that huge jump in the online shopping. were you expecting or hoping for that kind of number, and what does that tell you about the shoppers these days? >> well, gayle, good morning, and we've seen distinct chapters throughout the pandemic, when things first started back in february, we certainly saw consumers coming to target to stock up on household essentials. we talked about food and beverage growing at almost 40%, and then we've seen different behavior along the way, as people started to shelter in place, and stay at home, they were shopping for office supplies as they were working from home and educating their kids, board games to occupy time with their family and then clearly as people spent more time at home, and were getting

advice to avoid being out in public, we started to see digital sales soar. in march, they grew over 100%, but in april, growing at over 275%, and these are just changes that i think consumers are making right now, as they combat the virus and focus on their own health and safety. so things like drive-up behind me have been exploding as consumers can pull into a target parking lot, we put that order in their trunk, they drive away safely and i think those are types of services that will continue to grow over time. >> my friend wendy only goes to target, brian cornell, you'll be glad to know that. she says already you only do self-checkout and you make sure that everybody is six feet apart in the store. you only let "x" amount of people in at any given time. is that it? >> well, yes, we've been very focused on safety, first for our team members, and as we recognize, we were here to serve america during the pandemic, the

first thing we started to focus on was the safety of our team so making sure we're investing in our team, their safety, and then obviously the safety of our guests, so we've made big investments in our team, paying benefits to make sure during this crisis, they were well taken care of, but importantly, we've taken safety measures for the guests, so we have put up plexiglass shields at the check lane as you're checking out of our stores. there's decals on the floor making sure people provide the six feet of space that's so necessary right now. we do meter the number of guests in our stores at any one time so it's really about making sure we can create a safe shopping environment, one where our guests, the target guest feels safe but importantly where our team members feel safe each and every day. >> well, brian, let's talk about the team members. we hear many people on the team are not happy. they're planning to walk off the job and they've made that very clear. what are you doing to address

their concerns? >> well, gayle, i always want to hear from our team, and with over 350,000 team members across america, we get lots of feedback each and every day. i can tell you the feedback i received and i heard it this morning, talking to our teams here in sarasota, they are really proud to work for target, from the start of this pandemic, they recognized they've been providing important community services each and every day, allowing americans to get those household essentials, their medication, the food and beverage they need, so i hear stories of pride, and i've talked about this throughout the pandemic, the real heroes at target are those front line teamwork teamworkers, the ones on our supply chain and stores every day taking care of the american family and i hear great stories of pride and i expect on may 1st, we'll have our teams in place and we'll be serving america as we do each and every day through this pandemic. >> i agree with you, brian. those front line workers who are serving us every day are also

tue heroes. you know, we all saw you on the white house lawn last month with other business leaders talking about what you were planning to do to help in this pandemic. at the time you said that you would host drive-through testing sites on target property. so far, there's one in california, i believe in the san diego area. do you have plans to build others, to set up others? >> well, gayle, we've said our parking lots are available for testing, and obviously we started one with the uc system in san diego. as you might know, we don't operate our own pharmacies. we got a great partnership with cvs. they have pharmacists and technicians in our stores so we opened up our parking lots but we don't have the teams to actually do testing, so we're looking for partners. we'll certainly make sure that our parking lots are available for testing as we go forward and i think we all know how important testing is going to be as we battle this virus. >> brian cornell, thank you very much for taking the time this morning. let me tell you, i know a lot of

people are glad that you are up and running. thank you very much, sir. ahead and first on "cbs this morning," oscar winner, that's sean penn, shows us his relief group's effort to help fight the coronavirus in the u.s., but it's a challenging market. edward jones is well aware of that. which is why we're ready to listen. and ready to help you find opportunity. so. let's talk. edward jones. it's time for investing to feel individual. why accept it frompt an incompyour allergy pills?e else.

as we've been reporting and you no doubt have been experiencing the coronavirus has dramatically changing our every day lives. we continue our series on the new normal looking at how those changes affect how we work, socialize, learn and vote. many businesses are turning to thermal imaging cameras, devices scan temperatures from a safe distance and if they detect an elevated temperature companies can deny a person entry or

require additional screening. jericka duncan shows us how this could help stop the spread of the virus. >> reporter: city farmer's market in georgia uses cameras like this to scan customer's temperatures as they enter the store. if a customer's temperature is above 100.4 they are given a flyer and asked to leave but will do their shopping for them. >> you can see and measure temperature without being close to the individual. >> reporter: chris bainter is the owner of a company producing these cameras since 2003 when the sars epidemic broke out. >> application is not about an absolute temperature measurement it's more about detecting those individuals with elevated body temperature higher than the last ten people that have been

screened. >> reporter: fever is one symptom of the coronavirus and many are hopeful that technology like this will help us satisfily return to work. >> what we're seeing is there's a new normal that would involve thermal screening as a front line tool. >> reporter: since the outbreak dozens of companies have started to marv cameras for use across industries in airport, health care centers and apartment buildings in new york. do you see any privacy concerns? is this creating a surveillance culture? >> if you have seen a thermal image you can't detect who that individual is. we're not focused on collecting data, it's more about as a screening tool. >> reporter: a screening tool he cautions is just the first step. >> thermal solutions for elevated body temperature is only one part what needs a comprehensive environment health and safety program for these businesses. it doesn't detect fever, it doesn't detect coronavirus. we detect elevated body temperature. it plays a critical role in that system but only one part.

>> reporter: for cbs this morning jericka duncan, new york. joining us to discuss how thermal imaging and other technologies could change our daily lives is cbs news contributor nick thompson editor-in-chief of "wired." nick, welcome. can you talk to us about how thermal imaging works sean it a viable option on a mass scale >> we all emit light and most of that light is invisible to our regular eyes. if you use an infrared camera you can use a map to figure out our temperatures. so you point the camera at our tear ducts and you can get a basic sense of somebody's temperature. and it's not diagnostic, just a screen but can give you useful information if someone possibly has a fever and provide incentives for people who have fevers to stay home. can it be part of a solution in

figuring out who is at risk of spreading the virus. >> right. it's an expensive option, though. it costs thousands of dollars. it's something probably not a lot of small businesses are going to be able to afford to use, especially now. >> right. it would be something you'll see at large businesses, at major stores. ideally, the price goes down. if it turn out that this does prove useful, that it doesn't feel too creepy, people will keep working on it and you should be able to get the price back. >> another technology you say could be vital in this are smartphones. how can they help us potentially in dealing with the coronavirus? >> yeah. when we talk about how technology can help here, by far the most helpful technology will be smartphones that alert you when you've been exposed to the coronavirus. so using technology called bluetooth. set up a phone. it will tell you if it's been

near the phone of somebody who has been tested positive and you'll get an alert and say hey sometime in the last week or in the last two weeks you've been near someone who tested positive for coronavirus, please take appropriate action. this is something to implement in a large scale in australia, working on in the uk, in germany. it's been going on for a while in singapore. i imagine it will come to the u.s.. again, very beneficial, a little bit creepy. >> yeah. there's a little and a lot of creepy going on. china is using this kind of technology to track people who have had the virus, right? >> yeah. china is using to it track people who had the virus. also using to it track whole populations. this is the most interesting trade off in technology right now is that often privacy is at odds with safety. with these walking pools of data we're emitting data whether the

heat from our tear duct, information about whether we tested positive that's going out through bluetooth all this data we're generating and coming off of us. all this data can be useful in helping society stay safe. can it be useful in hoping to re-open the economy. but also can feel invasive. we as a society as collective will make choice where we stand on privacy versus safety. my feeling is that we're going to be choosing safety over privacy quite a bit in the next few months. >> safety is certainly urgent right now. that's the priority. you do wonder what the payback is down the road. you say that smart watches and wearables could evolve to help us in this too. >> right. absolutely. if you think about thermal imaging cameras which is measuring our temperature and tear ducts as we walk in a building. think about your smart watch. it can measure your temperature

at all times. measuring pattern in your temperature. be measuring your heart rate. there's all kind of data going into your smart watch or other devices you wear on your finger as a ring you might wear in your ear. there's all kinds of data that could help us identify potential infections before we spread them. >> fascinating stuff, nick thompson. thank you. in tomorrow's look at the new normal we'll talk to john dickerson about what the pandemic could mean for the presidential election and how could it affect voting in november. ahead a strange side effect of the pandemic. find out why one country is asking people to order fries twice a week. you're watching -- i got to he see that. you're watching "cbs this morning". we're all doing our part by staying at home.

that could mean an increase in energy bills. you can save by setting your heat to 68 or lower... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or just letting the sun light your home. stay well and keep it golden.

actor and humanitarian sean penn is joining the coronavirus

fight. ahead and first on "cbs this morning" the oscar winner shows us his relief group's push to expand testing, especially in good morning. if you are planning on taking the richmond san rafael bridge there is construction happening with slow speed as a result traveling out of the east bay there is brake lights westbound with a lot of at hippity in and around that area. stick with highway 37 for the bay bridge as an alternate. the project on the 101 in full swing. the southbound one-to-one s

curve the alternate with slightly slower speeds. 280 both directions looking good with both delays. the san mateo bridge in good with no delays between 880 and the one-to-one the bay bridge a nice ride into the city. temperatures are on the rise through the day today. today is the warmest of the week. a beautiful live look with the treasure island camera. you can see the sunshine out there with temperatures in the 50s and 60s. temperatures will continue to climb through the day daytime highs 75 degrees. the extended forecast, cooler temperatures beginning wednesday

welcome back to "cbs this morning". it's time to bring the stories that are the talk of our tables this morning. this is where we share stories that we like with each other and all of you. tony won the election to go first. >> all right. so ohio has its primary election today. under normal circumstances this would probably be our top story, democrats and republicans are participating, but now the outcome is not really in question, joe biden is likely to win on the democratic side, president trump will take it on the republican side. people are watching very closely. this is being billed of a mostly vote by mail election during the

coronavirus crisis. the state's in person voting was moved from march 17th. they put a system into place since then so nearly 2 million ohio voters could vote with absentee ballots through the mail in today's primary. now these ballots needed to be post marked by yesterday but if you didn't received ballot because the mail was jammed up or you didn't trust that the mail would work you're allowed to go in and vote today. nobody is sure how many people will show up. the big headline is it's a test. a test. a test. no one is sure how this will work out and nobody expects it to go smoothly. where it fails will be very revealing and helpful for many other states out there trying to figure out november, is this how we're all going to have to do it? everyone is paying attention to that question, gayle. >> yeah. november 3rd is a big election day so would be good to work out any kinks that may come up right now as we sit here april going into may. my story is from belgium because

they got a problem that's no small potatoes. it's exactly the opposite. they got a massive surplus of potatoes. belgium's potato industry says more than 825,000 tons of potatoes are at risk from being thrown away. they've request for everyone listening. you're now being asked to eat french fries twice a week to prevent waste. count me present. the demand for potatoes has fallen drastically after restaurants closed down. festivals have shut down. they've big sur plus. they plan to donate 25 tons to food banks but even then, even that amount is still not going enough. so they are asking us all to pitch in decent our part. if i wasn't worried about the quarantine, tony what were you going say? >> well, i was going to say i share your worry but forget vote by mail let's eat by mail. can they put them in a package

and send them to my house? i'll eat those fries. >> i don't know. not one through the mail. of all the sacrifices i've been asked to make, how about getting fries in the mail. when you get them order in the city sometimes they got late and are soggy. but of all the sacrifices we've been asked to make during this pandemic that's one i can actually fully embrace. here's my city. new york's met gala called the biggest night in fashion was postponed this year because of the outbreak. now "vogue" magazine is inviting people to get creative while in lock down and recreate their favorite red carpet look from past galas. it's called #metgalachallenge. some people are sharing their home made copycat outfits. the challenge runs through sunday. the winner will be announced the following day and judges are "vogue" magazine and billy porter will be involved in picking a winner.

i like this. i think this is a great idea. listen this is probably the only way most people can go to the met gala. i've only gone one time because oprah was a co-chair. i have not been invited back scene. it's an exclusive group. it's a big deal here in new york. a lot of fun to see. it's great that they are offering this. people will have fun with this. >> yeah. people are looking for any reason to dress up at home. now this. the nonprofit founded by actor and activist sean penn has joined the fight against the coronavirus for about a decade the two-time oscar winner and his relief group core have been assisting communities hit by natural disasters in places like haiti. now they are helping to manage free drive through test sites for the virus in california. first on cbs though morning core

is announcing new sients new orleans, atlanta and detroit. jamie yuccas talked to penn about his mission to save lives. >> this is right now an active shooter scenario, the virus is. it's principal focus is on people of color, the elderly, the indigenous. >> reporter: sean penn and his core of volunteers have stepped in the line of fire. they are distributing free test kits to free up the city's first responder for emergency services. >> all of these volunteers are occupying positions that used to be l.a. firefighters on this site and l.a. firefighters have skill sets very specific. we all need them out there on street. we need the paramedic corps. god forbid there's a brush fire.

>> reporter: penn didn't mobilize his team he often works alongside with them and each night he gets on a zoom call with leader to assure response is efficient and effective. >> these people new in my life who took an idea we had and lead it. i spend most of the time just thinking if is this next generation, we might be okay. >> reporter: originally just california but now you'll be rolling out more sites. >> our biggest ambition is to be one of the models that's repl c replyicab replyicable. the idea is to do it as quickly as possible. be an example of what others can do. >> reporter: core is expanding, bringing test sites to areas penn believes have been underserved such as new orleans and detroit. penn sees this as a vie all the piece of the puzzle to re-opening states for business. >> i do get that people are

struggling in ways that i can't even imagine. and i think we need a really accurate picture of how much testing is happening nationally. >> reporter: the oscar winning actor rewrote his legacy to include humanitarian when a massive earthquake rocked haiti. when hurricanes hit in puerto rico, north carolina and florida, his emergency response organization was on the scene. but this is the group's first pandemic. do you worry about your health? >> i'm pretty careful. god forbid that i make a mistake. i'm 60 years old. that wouldn't be a good idea. i don't want to be a drain on the medical system. i worry more about the inactivity in testing. >> reporter: to make sure he's healthy while working penn has had repeated tests for covid-19 all negative. >> there's a will to take risks.

but in this case the risk of being sick is risking other people. you become a gun. >> reporter: that's why he now steps in as team leader another role for an actor who doesn't like titles. >> people use the word humanitarian. i have great people on my staff that are humanitarians. but i love feeling like the plumber who is going to figure out how to fix the sink. >> what do you see as your role? >> the plumber. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," jamie yuccas, los angeles. sean penn the plumber. now playing part. this is real life. he's right about the need to push testing in underserved areas. every time we talk about parking lots and drive up testing i keep thinking to myself a lot of people don't have a car. if you don't have one that puts you at square zero fright the get go, don't you think? >> i think so. as great as sean penn is on the

big screen, his heart is even bigger. he don't have to do this. this is not a photo op. i've seen him in haiti and katrina and puerto rico. he deeply cares. so cheering him on always and all that he does on and off the screen. we'l

our eye on earth series this morning we take a walk among giants. not mythical creatures but trees. california's huge sequoia groves draw tourists. they are longtime warriors in the battle against climate change. jonathan vigliotti climbed with scientists to dizzying heights to see how the changing climate might be taking its toll. >> reporter: good morning. we're here in the sequoia national park perched on one of the largest trees in the world which is a crowd hugging laboratory for scientists studying the impacts of climate change. this covers up an ugly statistic. >> about 130 million trees died in the state of california during this drought. >> because of lack of sfwhaur >> yeah.

>> reporter: ecologists that have been working throughout that drought which lasts from late 2010 to earlier this year. >> it's not much further. >> reporter: they haven't been studying the pine, firs and cedars that died they are analyzing the world monsters that survived the giant sequoias the largest living creatures on earth. >> been living and growing in the same place some for thousands of years. >> even these giants have an achilles heel. their demand for water. an individual giant sequoia tree uses up to a thousand gallons of water a day. >> we put everything in perspective. >> reporter: doing science way out here means more than just strenuous hike. in fact that's just the beginning. >> most of the action is happening up in the canopies. where the leaves are.

>> when he to go up. >> reporter: since 2015, they've been scaling trees like this one, 250 feet high in order to record the drought's impact on their health and growth. on this day they brought me along for the climb. >> up we go. >> reporter: how many times at your peak were you climbing up a tree? >> i think my record for one day was seven climbs. >> seven climbs. i'm already exhausted. >> i love being up here. >> reporter: high above, he got to work downloading data from a science station they previously installed. >> the branches need be cut fairly close. >> reporter: wendy gathered branch samples to be examined back at the lab. >> this is my jack in the bean stalk for real.

>> reporter: i joined the pair in the deceptive safety of the tree's canopy. a terrifying flies be doing science. what has your data you collected so far what has the data told you >> they are really good at minimizing how much water they lose under drought conditions by shutting down the little tiny pores in their leaves. those tiny pores allows them to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. >> reporter: sounds like they are shutdown for business. >> yeah. >> reporter: that's troubling for two reasons. the less carbon dioxide trees capture and store the more of the heaviest trapping gas that stays in the atmosphere fueling global warming. also the trees use carbon dioxide as food to grow. they have also taken from the sequoias core samples, long strip of woods from he deep inside the tree they can use to determine its age and growth.

>> we can see it goes all the way back -- >> reporter: labs are still analyzing. some cores are telling the story. >> these three lines closing the indicate not a lot of growth. >> exactly. >> reporter: this is the drought. our climate is change. what doe that mean for a tree like the sequoia that has specific needs? >> every organism has thresholds that they can't survive. as it gets hotter, snow will melt earlier and there's going to be less water available for these trees. it may not be a place that they can continue to grow into the future. >> reporter: many of these trees have been alive since before the roman empire which means civilization literally grew up around them. they are now studying the impacts that civilization is having on these trees very

existence. >> jonathan vigliotti there reporting. we should point out he shot that story long before the coronavirus and before we had to institute social distancing rules. he's probably at home right now on his kouchg dreaming being on top of that tree doing that interview. i sure which i can go up. before we go a little boy's efforts to bring smiles of his neighbors and gets the attention of a hollywood celebrity. we'll be right back. everyone is working a little differently now.
