total reported globally. that means more than one in every 330 americans has now tested positive. in brooklyn, members of the hasidic jewish community defied social distancing orders to hold a funeral procession for a rabbi who had reportedly died from the coronavirus. police had to move in to break it up. anthony? >> that incident highlights potential tensions about what's safe in areas like florida where restrictions are slowly being lifted. manuel bojorquez is in miami. the state just reported its highest daily death tollo r. we understand today the governor is still expected to announce plans to reopen. >> reporter: that's right, anthony. governor ron desantis has indicated that phase one of the state's reopening plan would be a, quote, small step. today some public outdoor spaces will begin to reopen in two of the state's largest and hardest hit counties with social distancing rules in place.

as you mentioned, with confirmed cases and deaths still rising here, some wonder whether it's too soon. >> until i feel by following the science that we are ready to open, we will not open. >> reporter: mitch kaplan's books may be collecting dust, but the owner of seven community book stores in florida says he's not quite ready to let customers back in. >> the stakes are high, and if you are going to reopen, you better pay attention and know what the consequences are. >> and what are those consequences? >> you could get sick. a customer could get sick. you may have to close down again. >> reporter: florida among the latest states letting up on the lockdown. >> retail stores and enclosed malls may reopen at 50% of normal operating capacity -- >> reporter: iowa governor kim reynolds announced businesses in

that work there. >> reporter: gary harris is a 20-year employee of the now-shuttered tyson meat plant in indiana. he's worried that the health of his co-workers are being unnecessarily endangered. >> before they talk about reopening, they should make sure that safety is first. >> reporter: the united food and commercial workers union or ufcw says 20 workers have already died of the virus. with meat packing plants around the country facing slowdowns and closures, those working there are considered to be essential employees. here's why -- they're needed to move livestock now piling up at farms because plants have shut down leading to a reduction in beef and pork processing. livestock analyst dennis smith -- >> these changes in production are so severe that it's very likely to create a shortage. >> reporter: now the white house is trying to mitigate the risk of that happening with this latest executive order.

>> that will solve any liability problems where if they had certain liability problems, we'll be in good shape. >> not every job can be socially distant in a plant. >> reporter: mark lauritsen represents meat processing plant works for the ufcw. he says washington has a responsibility to protect the workers, as well as the companies. >> they took a step that said we're going to have these plants open and operating and running. they've got to take the next step to making sure enforceable osha standards, enforceable standards from the cdc. >> reporter: groceries like this one behind me are waiting to see the impact of the president's executive order which asks food processors to follow federal safety and health guidelines. and in a statement to cbs news, tyson foods, for example, said the safety of its team members remains a top priority. tyson adds that it's already

implementing social distancing, cleaning out its facilities, and regularly taking the temperature of its workers. gayle? >> all right. thank you so much. the trump administration is still encouraging states to reopen safely while the reported number of coronavirus cases continue to rise. vice president mike pence caused a bit of a stir yesterday when he visited the mayo clinic without wearing a required protective mask. ben tracy has more. good morning. what does the president say about the u.s. reaching one million reported cases so far? >> reporter: well, good morning. last night the president tweeted that the only reason the u.s. has so many cases is because our testing is so much better than other countries. but the u.s. now has four times as many infections as any other country. despite that, the white house is moving on to what they're calling the reopening phase with the president focused on the economy. [ applause ] at the white house tuesday, president trump defended saying back in february that the u.s. would soon have zero coronavirus cases. >> well, it will go down to zero

ultimately. and you have to understand when it comes to cases, we do much more testing than anybody else. >> reporter: the president claims the country will soon be conducting five million tests per day. >> we're going to be there very soon. if you look at the numbers, it could be that we're getting very close. >> reporter: but we aren't. the u.s. is conducting about 200,000 tests per day. at a white house event to highlight small businesses, the president said the worst of the pandemic is behind us. >> without a treatment, without a vaccine, states reopening, how can you be so sure? >> tremendous progress has been made, we think on a vaccine. we think on a vaccine. this is going to go away. >> reporter: dr. anthony fauci says if states rush to reopen, it won't simply go away. >> it could be a rebound to get us right back in the same boat that we were in a few weeks ago. >> reporter: the mixed messaging was on full display when vice

president mike pence who heads the president's coronavirus task force visited minnesota's mayo clinic tuesday. he was the only person not wearing a mask. the federal government advises all americans to wear face coverings in public, and the mayo clinic added in a now deleted tweet that it had informed the vice president of the policy. >> i'm tested on a regular basis. everyone around me is tested for the coronavirus. >> reporter: the vice president is not alone. when those mask guidelines were unveiled at the white house this month, the president made pay point. saying that he would not wear one, and he often comments on people who are wearing them at events here at the white house. anthony? >> thank you. our chief medical correspondent joins us now. good morning.

you heard the vice president say he was recently tested. he tested negative, so he doesn't need to wear a mask. should we wear a mask? >> reporter: the problem, anthony, is that the president said that he's tested regularly and that he does not have coronavirus. the problem is you can test negative for coronavirus but still be infected. the test is not perfect. you can have a false negative where you do the swab and it says you don't have it but actually you do are have it. the second issue is incubation. somebody can be infected -- remember that incubation period is two to 14 days. during that period a test would be negative. it hasn't blossomed yet in the back of the throat and the nose. the test is going to be negative. at any time then after the test was negative, it could come out, it could blossom. of course, the problem is you can spreading the virus asymptomatically, you don't have to have symptoms at all. we don't know exactly what the timing is, when the last test was. we asked but were not told. i have to say that i have patients who have had similar questions. they've said to me, i tested negative, do i still need to wear a mask?

i said, yes. finally, there's the issue of modeling. you have the mayo clinic rules which say patients and visitors should be wearing these masks. everybody's wearing the masks except for the vice president. what message does that send? >> right. jon, some states have started to reopen. some will open this week. what message would you have to people in those states? >> i would say don't prematurely celebrate. i think you have to go slowly. it reminds me of traveling in a car down a long and winding road. and suddenly you decide you're going to step on the accelerator and go fast. if you're going to do that, you better have your eyes open. and believe me, we are on a long and winding road. having our eyes open here means having a lot of testing. enough testing so that we know what's going on in a certain area. we're talking about both types of tests. we're talking about the test to see do you have the infection and to see whether you had it. you have to go slowly. you have to go carefully.

>> yeah. i was in central park here in new york yesterday. a lot more people out, weather warming up. lot of cabin fever. s people sensing things have turned. the urge is to go out now, jon. >> i completely understand and empathize with that. you know, it's been months now, and people are starting to get itchy. they want to go out. they want to hug people. they want to get back to normal. and i think it's a natural instinct. i know it's hard to continue to do the same thing, you know, the physical distancing and all the things that we've been doing. i think it's so important, the last thing we want to do is to let our foot off of the gas pedal in terms of doing all of these efforts and then have this pandemic just come roaring right back. so we've got to go slow. of course, we all empathize with our -- we all have spring fever. we want to get out and around. >> all right, dr. john lapook. thank you. tony? thank you. now to campaign 2020. presumptive democratic nominee

joe biden has the party's previous candidate on his side. hillary clinton endorsed biden during a virtual town hall on the effects of coronavirus on women. >> just think of what a difference it would make right now if we had a president who not only listened to the science, put facts over fiction, but brought us together. >> clinton went on to say the former vice president has been preparing for this moment his entire life. biden won the ohio democratic primary yesterday where nearly all the votes were mailed in. anthony? this morning, police near sacramento, california, are looking into the actions of an officer seen on video punching a teenager. we want to warn you, the video is graphic. >> stop. stop. stop. stop -- stop. stop. >> it shows the rancho cordova officer hitting a 14-year-old

boy he was trying to detain for allegedly being involved in the exchange of a substance. the sacramento sheriff's office says the teenager told the officer he was 18, then resisted arrest. the officer allegedly found tobacco on the teen and cited him. the person who posted this video claims to be the boy's sister and said her brother has a heart condition. we reached out to the poster but haven't heard back. the sheriff's office says it is investigating the officer's use of force. >> video's tough to watch. thank you. president trump says airline passengers wearing masks sounds like a good idea, in his words, and he might make it mandatory on international flights. jetblue will require its travelers to wear masks starting on monday. and soon american will give customers masks and sanitizers. yesterday, we reported on the safety of busy flights and the question of recirculated air on planes. many people believe that's the case. many people believe that's the case, but we've done some more

digging on the subject and we wanted to share some things with you. the airlines reached out to us and they want you to know that they use hepa filters is what they're called, that's a high-energy particulate air filter, the same type that hospitals use. in addition, the cabin air, they say, is changed every two to four minutes. the guidance from the cdc is this, that because of how air kirk cue lates, most viruses and other germs do not spread easily on flights. but the cdc does encourage passengers to sit six feet away from each other. please remember that the next time you get on a flight. tony. all right, yeah, very interesting. someone who once flew all the time and hopes to fly a lot again, good to know. ahead, we go to texas to look at how the state is moving forward toward loosening stay at home restrictions on friday, despite one of the lowest we're all living a "new normal""

here's today's eye opener at 8:00. >> the devastating milestone in this pandemic, we have now passed 1 million reported cases of the virus nationwide. >> some public outdoor spaces will begin to reopen, but as you mentioned, with confirmed cases and deaths still ridesing here, some wonder whether it's too soon. groceries like this one behind me are waiting to hear the impact of the executive order which asks food processors to follow federal safety and health geedlines. the president made a point of saying he would not wear a mask. >> you heard the vice president say he was recently tested. he tested negative so he doesn't need to wear a mask. should he? >> i have had patients with similar questions who ask the question and i say yes. >> if you have symptoms of or test positive for covid-19, you should distance yourself from your pets.

cats and dogs can apparently get the dog too. first they thought it was just cats but now dogs have been added to the list. >> hold up, how are dogs and cats getting access to covid-19 tests? do they play in the nba? >> there's nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't play in the nba. welcome back to "cbs this morning" and to everybody who loves our pets, we have to be extra careful with them. tony? >> yeah. we do. we have to be extra careful, and people need to close the gate on the backyard. the dogs and cats are getting out and getting the virus somewhere. we hope everyone stays safe, and we continue to cover the news even as we broadcast from home. it's so important right now. the united states has crossed a stunning new milestone in the coronavirus pandemic. there are more than 1 million reported cases of the virus all

across america. about 58,400 americans have died. that is more than in the vietnam war. >> as medical experts urge people to wear masks in public, vice president pence did not during a trip yesterday to the may owe clinic, he defended the decision. >> i tested for the coronavirus on a regular basis. everyone around me is tested for the coronavirus. since i don't have the coronavirus, i thought it would be a good opportunity for me to be here, to be able to speak to these researchers, these incredible health care personnel. >> meanwhile, president trump is claiming that very soon the u.s. will be able to conduct 5 million coronavirus tests per day. but so far we've done just under 6 million tests in total. the most we've ever done in a day is 314,000. the president also signed an

executive order keeping moeat processing plants after some were shutdown due to outbreaks. with tens of millions of americans out of work, there is growing concerns many could be evicted out of apartments or homes. in our financial fallout series, we've been reporting on the economic impact of the coronavirus. the federal cares act temporarily shields some people living in federally subsidized housing and some states have put a short-term hold on all evictions, but we found that protections are hodgepodge. and a hodgepodge normally not a good thing. and you've also found some rules aren't even being followed. good morning to you. >> good morning. that's right. we found some renters facing eviction who shouldn't be because they live in rental properties that appear to be covered by that federal cares act moratorium on the federally subsidized housing. most renters don't have that federal protection and many of them don't have any protection in their states either.

>> it's nice and bright and sunny. >> before the pandemic took her job, rhonda englander said she worked as a contract medical assistance visiting patient's hopes. >> they stopped sending you assignments in mid march. what does that mean financially? >> no income. >> she couldn't pay the april rent on her two bedroom apartment. she asked the complex manager to forgive her rent or help her in other ways. >> they were not willing to work with me or waive any late fees. >> how do you feel about that? >> incredibly angry knowing that i'm one among so many that are experiencing this. >> some states including massachusetts and delaware offer temporary protections from eviction. and the federal cares act put a 120-day moratorium on evictions for those living in federally subsidized rental properties but some advocates are seeing

problems. >> the calls have doubled in the last couple weeks. >> reporter: richard cling runs on oklahoma city university program that gives free legal help to people facing eviction. >> they're getting threatened with eviction. they've lost their job. they're frustrated and scared. they're scared. >> reporter: take this woman who lived in the oklahoma city metro area. >> it's hard to realize now i don't have a job. >> reporter: she lost her job in a middle school due to co-vid and fell behind on her rent. then her landlord gave her an eviction notice. >> i was told there's multiple people, especially like my neighbors that got a similar letter who are in the same boat, and they're well aware we are not working at the current time. >> reporter: yet she found her apartment complex is covered by themoratorium. we spoke to one of the complex's

owners who said this was a screwup by a local manager and neither he nor the management company were aware of the eviction given and he said we immediately stopped that. but cling says it's one of several cases he's seen at various properties in the area. >> i'm seeing a small piece of the action. how many people are getting threatened with eviction and intimidated and scared, and are they going to move out when they could stay there for four months? i want to prevent that. >> in many parts of the country evictions have been held off. >> reporter: bob feniger insists most people won't face e vex even if they've been put on notice because many courts are closed. >> at this point nothing can happen until the courts reopen. that could be anywhere from weeks to months. >> but the renters don't know that. and they are panicked. >> well, i think if we -- if you watch the news and the

television, you know, this is things being talked about right now. by and large the industry is working with residents and setting up payment plans. >> still, many people will owe months of back rent. experts worry a housing crisis is looming. >> this is the worst economic crisis the united states has seen in generations. >> reporter: and matthew, a princeton university professor who runs the eviction lab project says -- >> if nothing else changes and evictions continue as normal, this public health crisis will turn into a homelessness crisis. >> reporter: now, the federal f moratorium is set to expire. they are pushing for -- they want billions of dollars from the government to help the renters out. by the way, rhonda englander in idaho did get her april rent covered through a local charity. she said she's not sure what she's going to do about her 875

rent payment for may. an attorney for her complex told us if they forgave her rent, they'd have to forgive everybody, but he noted they've chosen not to evict anybody for the month of april. >> forgiving everybody's may be the only solution. we have an economic crisis. anna, thank you very much. the pandemic is forcing states to make difficult choices about how we vote. ahead, we'll look at the debate over voting by mail. and talk a

the pandemic is, of course, dramatically changing our everyday lives. as we continue our series on "the new normal," we look at how those changes will affect the way we work, socialize, learn, and vote. this week, many voters in two states cast their ballots by mail. ed o'keefe shows us how the push to make voting safer while safeguarding election integrity. >> reporter: the coronavirus means the days of long lines of voters in libraries or jim

naysups could be over, at least temporarily. as states decide instead to let more people vote by mail. >> this is not what any of us had envisioned months ago for how we wanted to run this election. >> reporter: voters in ohio and parts of maryland headed to the polls on tuesday, or dropped their ballot in the mail. officials made the change as they tried to balance public health with participatory democracy. >> i two main priorities -- keeping marylanders safe and protecting their constitutional right to vote. >> reporter: polls show a majority of americans now support expanding the vote-by-mail issue. >> we think it's a health issue -- >> reporter: others don't like the idea. >> i think that mail-in voting is a terrible thing. >> reporter: the coronavirus has completely scrambled the 2020 campaign calendar. only three states and the district of columbia are holding primaries as scheduled. other states have postponed contents or gone to a vote-by-mail system. new york for the first time canceled its presidential

primary set for yun -- for june. >> i've seen lines of people on television voting in other states. this is totally nonsensical. >> reporter: a recent nonpartisan study estimates it could cost as much as $1.4 billion to ensure all voters have access to mail-in ballots lie november. proponents point to what happened with the wisconsin primary this month to justify potential costs. officials this week said at least 52 people who voted or worked the polls on april 7th have tested positive for coronavirus. it's unclear how they got sick, but the cases confirm the fears of those who wanted to delay the primary. >> we could have moved to an all-mail-in election. and at the same time, we could have protected the integrity of the election. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," i'm ed o'keefe in washington. joining us to break down how the coronavirus might affect the election and the presidency is

cbs news senior political analyst john dickerson. he joins us from his home in new york. good morning. as always, exactly the person i want to talk to at a moment like this. every election is going to be a contest between candidates. this election is also a test of democracy itself. some states want to vote by mail. the president opposes that idea. as we debate how to do campaign 2020 and how to vote, what are some of the democratic principles we should bear in mind? >> reporter: well, it's good to be with you, tony, as always, even in this distant way. you know, one of the things that's striking in ed's piece today is that that number of the majority of the country that now believes in mail-in ballots, that's up from 32% in 2018. so the country is moving there. if dr. anthony fauci is right and it's going to be a bad fall, then what this is at the very beginning is a test of covid-19 responses by public officials.

>> and i think we just lost john dickerson. a technical gremlin has taken the feed. we will try to get him back. in the meantime, we're going to take a quick break. 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.

and cbs news senior political analyst john dickerson is back with us after those technical gremlins temporarily took his field. you were talking about some of the challenges to democracy in voting amid the crisis. >> reporter: yes. i'll give a shorter answer. one thing that's notable is that the public is moving toward the mail-in ballot, as ed mentioned in his piece. 50% of the country believes in it, up from 32%. democracy is listening to the people. that's one thing that public officials are going to have to figure out, what signal they get from the people. but the major test here is access to the ballot and the vote. but it's also a test of how leaders respond to covid-19 challenges. this is a threat.

if dr. anthony fauci is right, the fall is going to be bad. that means elections are going to be as potentially ugly as what happened in wisconsin. so officials have to identify the problem, come up with a plan, and execute. that's a challenge for dealing with the vote. but it's also a challenge across all the range of things that leaders have to deal with. and so this is like so many of the challenges that we face now, it's about vision and execution. >> the virus is also disrupting conventional wisdom when it comes to campaign strategy. things have to be done differently. what is the nature of campaigning when you can't go out, shake hands, and hold rallies? >> reporter: yeah, exactly right. and conventions where you can't provide, you know, take advantage of a four-day cmmercial for your party. and also there's tonely the question of campaigning is often very confrontational, brash, hard, you know, sharp edges. but we are in a moment where the nation is in convalescence or maybe even hoping to get to

convalescence as we battle through this. so even every word you say is framed in a different fashion. and i think the entire issue set will change, as well. what does it mean to be president? what it means is to face big, unexpected, high-stakes problems that come out of nowhere. and that is -- that raises both the questions of one's efficiency in executing solut n solutions to these problems but the other softer qualities the president has to have, the ability to be a national pastor, ability to unify, the ability to in public give clean and clear information. the number-one public information officer is the president's role. so what we talk about in terms of our elections will also change, in addition to the way people actually talk to voters about those issues. >> so john, you think that the pandemic could in effect define the institution of the presidency itself? >> reporter: i think it will, anthony. i think first thing is it

reminds us all in stark terms that the presidency is a job of dealing with big, unexpected high hi high-stakes challenges. it happens to a lot of presidents, they get surprised. then the measurement is not just how they deal with the problem in the moment, nor is it simply could they have seen it coming. but did they build a team that can handle these kinds of issues? you can't build a team once the crisis starts happening. you need to think about that beforehand. that's not something we really talk about much in presidency. and then there are those other parts of the skills of the job, how you respond and speak to a nation. there is a rulebook out there, and the current president has gone a different route in terms of speaking to the nation and playing his role. we're going to have a big debate whether that was fitting for the time and if not, what model does the country want to replace that with, and where do the component parts of the model come from in our history. >> yeah. these are moments when the president will be judged but also the office of the presidency will be judged, as

well, and could change in the process. john dickerson, thank you so much. in tomorrow's podcast, we'll look at the new normal. right now, this is a kpix 5 news update. good morning! as we take a look at the roadways, if you are planning on taking 580, at the bridge portion, there are reports of an accident. westbound 580, three cars involved with at least one lane blocked. backup is slow enough to where you will see a few brake lights. good news! if you are working towards the bay bridge, that earlier trouble spot has cleared to. 101 in both directions, this is an ongoing closure.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time it bring you some of the stories that are "talk of the table" this morning. since we're coming to you from our homes, we're going to share a story with each other and all of you that's talk of our respective tables or basements and family rooms and dining rooms. i believe we're going to begin with mr. anthony mason in his dining room, i believe. >> indeed. dining room/library. technicality. i love stories right now about people who are triumphing over these times. this is a story of a couple in san francisco who found a way to hold their wedding in sickness and in health and in pandemic, in the words of the groom. emily manashi and paris cacci got married in an empty church

on saturday. that's actually emily's dad taking her down the aisle. what i love is that you see the pews of st. ignatius were filled with photos of church-goers. only immediate family attended. the ceremony was live streamed to the rest of their guests. the photographer called the wedding surreal and especially emotional. we say congratulations to emily and paris. i love the way they dealt with this. it's really a stunning photograph -- got shared all over the place on facebook. tony? >> yeah. i love it. we talked earlier about how the pandemic is leading to all kind of innovations. i would say when it comes to marriage and worship, there's an innovation for you. i think a lot of people are going to be copying it. i've also said that anybody right now who is mucking up the unemployment system or these stimulus claims, shameful, shameful stuff. people need this money so badly. earlier there week, kentucky governor andy beshear, he apparently agreed with me, had harsh words for someone he

thought had filed a phony unemployment claim. take a listen. >> unfortunately, it's going to take a little time because a couple of bad apples can make this challenge that much more difficult. for instance, we had somebody apply for unemployment for tupac shakur in kentucky. they probably they were being funny. probably did. >> so the governor's heart is in the right place. he soon found out that this was not a prank. somebody was not impersonating the late rapper. and so yesterday beshear apologized by phone to tupac malik shakur of lexington, kentucky, who reportedly worked as a restaurant cook before it closed last month because of the pandemic. shakur said that he forgave beshear, he understood, and ended the call with "god bless." beshear says the state is going to make this right, and they're going to make sure that the unemployment claim is resolved. so i got to check twice, i

guess. not a prank. this was serious. i think this is one of those times when you can say fortunately all's well that ends well, gayle. >> but i understand why the governor -- why that happens. i'm sure tupac shakur who lives in his estate lives that a lot -- what's your really name. like if someone said my name is oprah winfrey, no, what is it? what is it? tony, before i go to you, anthony, i got a text from someone that said anthony's bottles again. i don't know what the deal is with your bottles. people are curious about. are those artichokes? are those pineapples? someone actually -- >> no, they're -- they're artichokes, gayle. they're artichokes because they have -- my late stepfather's name -- the brewery had the same name as my late stepstepfather. he stook stuck bottle tops because he was fixated on them. he painted hundreds when i was a kid.

that's a little tributsdtle tri stepfather. >> people are looking at everything behind our shoulders so you know. moving on. thank you for clearing up that burning question. my "talk of the table" is return of the popular tv slow "punk'd." >> blow it -- >> malfunction -- [ beep ] ah! >> the mtv show hosted by chance the rapper -- this thing is hilarious. it's airing on a new streaming service, it's called quibi, rhymes with libby. it launched this month, and it's already nearing three million downloads. quibi delivers quick bites, that's when it stands for, of news and entertainment in ten minutes or less. right on your phone. everybody has one of those. some of those shows including "punk'd" are produced by viacom, cbs, an investor in quibi. we spoke with chance the rapper and founder, held executive jeffrey katzenberg. they told us what's in store for

quibi and "punk'd." in the first episode, chance and his team set up a prank where rap artists -- very funny -- had to cross paths with a gorilla to rescue what she thought was her lost dog. >> really get out now -- >> no -- >> oh -- >> i want to know, are you a prankster by nature? because i'm thinking you do deception very well, chance the rapper. >> i do, yeah. i like to -- small pranks. nothing so involved as like in a fake 800-pound gorilla to scare somebody. >> what was jeffrey's pitch that you thought i want to do this? what was the pitch? >> he told me he thought i was perfect for it. and -- i loved show since i was a kid. for us, we were right on the cusp of the internet. so celebrities were becoming more accessible. we didn't have instagram and like personal social media yet. and then ashton kutcher came along with "punk'd," these people are going to get mail,

get gas, go to a grocery store. just them in their real, real lives. i loved that always. >> it does have a quality of stars who are just like us. that's what i like about it. jeffrey, what was it about chance the rapper that you said "get him on the phone, i want him," because why? >> is there anybody more charming than him? >> no. >> if you're going to get punk'd, you better love the person who's punking you. this turned into a wild smash hit for quibi. >> couldn't be bigger. >> chance, i want people to understand -- these pranks are really quite elaborate. >> yeah. very involved. i would say every prank takes about a week or more. and basically once all that prep is set up, it kind of goes out the window because people are human -- there's been times where it got crazy on set. but it's all in good fun. everybody was a really good sport about it at the end. >> jeffrey, it seems to me that

you pulled out your hollywood rolodex because you got super-duper star power. >> what i imagined is what if we gave the best storytellers and the best talent the resources to make stuff, to give them the tools to make something that's a unique type of storytelling. these under ten-minute chapters, and whether it's will smith, kevin hart, reese witherspoon, everybody showed up, and they showed up and made great, great content. >> i was worried about you launching in the middle of a pandemic. this was the launch -- you were excited and confident as you were beginning to launch. you still feel that way? >> well, listen, gayle, this is not ideasal for us. this was -- ideal for us. this was designed for on your phone, on the go, at the moment in time which we're all sheltered in place. on the other hand, we have almost three million downloads. we're learning so much now. and so we are going to get back to a new normal, and when we do, quibi will be stronger and better for having gone forward

now. >> chance, do you think being on lockdown as so many of us are -- i hate calling it lockdown because you can really find your creative juices flowing and family bonding time. do you thinking about quarantined the way we are is an advantage or a disadvantage as you go down the quibi road? >> i think it's an unforeseen, you know, sort of act of god that is affecting every single thing. and so for me as a dad, i got two kids, one 4, one 8 months, and i feel like i didn't really have kids until the quarantine. >> what do you mean? what do you mean? >> between my parents, her parents, the nanny, the night nurse, schooling, i didn't spend that many hours with my kids per day. so my relationship with my children has rapidly and vastly changed over the course of a month and a half because of this. >> i was wondering, jeffrey, how you were handling quarantining. listen, unlike chance, your

children are potty trained and employed. >> i was going to say, as you know, i've been with my wife marilyn for 45 years. we're now on day 41 of just the two of us alone. we're going better than ever. i don't think we ever spent 12 days let alone 41. i'm pretty confident on my end. we're going the distance. >> yeah. doesistry that still like you -- does she still like you, jeffrey? >> i'm not sure, but i can tell you i love her more than ever. >> yeah. bravo. bravo. yeah. jeffrey, what is your game plan to make quibi break through -- especially at this particular time when people have so many options to choose from? >> what chance gives you, it just made you laugh. >> yeah. >> and if there is one thing -- >> no, jeffrey. double-over laughter. not just a ha, ha -- double-over laughter. there's a difference. >> here's the thing -- the way i think about this, gayle. chance, myself, we are not policemen, we're not -- we're not doctors, we're not nurses, we're not first responders.

we can't do what they do. what we can do is lift people's spirits. we can make them feel better. let's get it out there. give people some entertainment. have a good time. and the business will take care of itself. that i'm confident in. >> listen, quibi rhymes with libby, and they've got 175 new shows that they're offering. and they're offering it for free for 90 days if you sign up by april 30th. which it's tomorrow, it's tomorrow. the price range goes from $5 to $8 depending on what you pick. we also asked jeffrey katzenberg about another show coming to quibi that we're excited about called "60 and n six." about "60 minutes" with new correspondents who will do investigations and profiles but for a younger, more diverse audience. yep, we like young people here, too. jeffrey katzenberg told us she's screened "one of 60 in 6's" early stories, a report by seth doane on the luxury brands --

brand bugatti. "60 minutes" and cbs news are a part of viacom krbcbs. we're excited about quibi. as i looked at the interview, the pillows were a hot mess in the shot. got to watch that. and b, i felt like i was screaming at the tv. there's a lot of good stuff on quibi. i highly, highly recommend checking out "punk'd." it is so funny with a capital "f." >> it's terrific. i remember just like chance the rapper, i came up with that show, i watched it all the time. and now that i see that it's back, there's another reason i think now not to mess with ms. gayle king. you clearly after the interview have connections in the prank world. watch out. if oprah winfrey is bri"punk'd" she'll know who to play. >> she hates surprises, i will never do that. chance does punking well. so please, please be careful. we'll be right b

disrupted routines during this pandemic may be hard for many of us, but the transition can be especially difficult for people on the autism spectrum and their families. during this world autism month, we show how some are coping and how the pandemic is highlighting

the value of autistic people in the work force. i'm not a trained therapist. i'm not a trained teacher. i'm trying my hardest. can you pick it up? >> reporter: kristin has a lot on her plate these days. like many of us, the long island mom of two was forced to make a big shift when social distancing became the norm across the country. >> yellow and yellow. >> reporter: her 4-year-old son, hudson, is nonverbal and on the autism spectrum. he relies on speech and occupational therapy in addition to classroom learning. >> the fact that we're losing all of this time and we don't really see when it's going to end is really scary for us. >> reporter: according to the cdc, one in 54 children in the u.s. is diagnosed with a autism spectrum disorder. as covid-19 continues to interrupt everyday lives, groups like autism speaks are now offering free online resources to help those children and their

families transition. donna murray is head of the autism treatment network. >> many in our community find comfort in routine. so this is really disrupted their lives in big ways. >> reporter: that comfort and routine was also a concern for audicon, an i.t. services company that says two-thirds of its work force is on the autism spectrum. david runs their u.s. operations -- >> what we've found is through utilizing a lot of the business tools that we're now using in a work-from-home environment, we're really helping our january lifts grow. -- analysts grow. >> reporter: it seems like a silver lining to everything that's happening to business during this pandemic. >> yeah. i think it's opening eyes to the possibilities of neurodiversity within the workplace. >> reporter: employment is something will colette struggled with for years. he counted himself among the estimated 85% of autistic adults

who are unemployed or underemployed. after a string of dead-end jobs, he found the training program at audicon. >> as soon as the instructor started writing this thing out on the board, i went, i know how to do that, i really enjoyed doing that. i think i found a place. >> reporter: that must have an incredible feeling. >> it was an amazing feeling. >> reporter: and amid all of today's uncertainty, these glimpses of opportunity and acceptance are also creating hope. some ways your 4-year-old son could not be coming into the world as an autistic person at any better time in history. do you agree with that? >> 100%. my husband and i talk about it all the time. which brings us comfort. >> reporter: for "cbs this morning," jamie wax, new york. >> yeah. virus disrupting life in so many places, but something very
