7:11 am
china tried to conceal the extent of this outbreak while stockpiling medical supplies. last night, president trump said there will be a very conclusive report from the u.s. about the origins of this virus. gayle? >> that's very disturbing information. thank you, paula. for more on how the partial reopening of states could affect the fight against the virus here, we're joined by our chief medical correspondent, dr. jon lapook. good morning to you. i broke it. i went out after 32 days. i went out on saturday. i was going to go out on sunday. i saw the number of people out there. i freaked out a little and said, no, not going out. let's start with the basics. what should people keep in mind once you venture outside? >> you know, gayle, i spoke to the cdc last night about this. and they are adamant, they are hammering home the point that it's not a free pass going outside. even if you are in a place where they're opening up. you still have to do all the things that everybody is telling you to do.
7:12 am
the social distancing. the face masks. and absolutely you need to continue to wash your hands. it's so easy because it's an invisible threat. you aren't seeing it. but i like what dr. birx said which is you don't want to get infected yourself and then even if you have no symptoms, pass it on to grandma. >> if we're just outside walking around if you bump into each other, could you get the virus that way? just random bumps? that's what i was worried about. is it that dangerous? >> you know, we are still learning things about the aerosolization. little particles in the air. in general, the advice from the cdc has been, it has to be prolonged contact and specifically, i remember asking them, what about you are just walking in central park. you walk by somebody and happen to be four feet away, not six feet away. that's not what people are most concerned about. that's not what drives infections, this sort of casual
7:13 am
contact. it's more prolonged contact where you're within six feet for some prolonged period of time. certainly more than six seconds. >> what's your message you're seeing people are getting restless. they're closing in on each other. some are saying it's an assault on our civil rights when we're being told we can't go outside. what's your message to people that don't think social distancing is necessary and that we need to get out of the house? >> you know, this is a generation, this is a time when we need to be thinking about society as a whole, not about ourselves individually. i spoke to dr. tom inglesby last night, the infectious disease expert from hopkins. it was interesting how it could be reasonable to start thinking about opening up. but you want to do it logically in areas, for example, states that don't have a lot of infections. vermont, montana, alaska. if you'll do that opening up, do it carefully. you need enough testing to know what's going on.
7:14 am
and you also have to have enough boots on the ground and public health officials so if you notice there's an infection to isolate the person, figure out who their contacts are and do all the standard public health measures we've always done over the years and that are tried and true. >> it all boils down to the testing, jon. one question if you need one question answered to better understand the virus, what is it for you? just the one. >> it's the question that we don't know is going to be asked tomorrow. seriously. every day there's something new that comes out. a new problem. problem smelling, problem with clotting, a problem we didn't predict. the problem here is we don't even know the questions to ask right now. but i sure would like to know what the arc of this is going to be. >> yeah, you and me both. everybody listening wants that question. thank you, jon lapook. tony? >> gayle, thank you very much. there are questions about the pace of reopening in europe as well as here in the united states.
7:15 am
several european countries are also letting stores reopen and giving people more freedom to go out. italy reported its lowest daily death toll since just after the lockdown began. and some familiar signs of life are returning. chris livesay is there. >> reporter: and they're off. joggers allowed once again to run in parks long off limits. for two months, virtually all italians have had to stay at home. but today, life begins returning to something nearing normal. in rome's iconic campo de fiori flower market, they've returned. it's been hard economically and personally, he says. i'm part of this piazza, and it's part of me. cafes like the anticocaffe greco can once again serve coffee. in 260 years has this cafe ever been closed? >> never. never closed up. >> not even during world war ii? >> no. >> so for now it's only takeaway and only in disposable cups, not
7:16 am
exactly an italian tradition. >> italy is still in the full throws of the pandemic says the prime minister giuseppe conte. schools, churches and museums remain shut. elsewhere in europe, masks are mandatory in spain where rules against outdoor exercise were also lifted. in germany, widely praised for containing the outbreak, churches resumed service. and this morning, workers return to automaker ford's european headquarters. but things aren't getting better everywhere. the outbreak is worsening in russia which recorded its worst day in new cases sunday with more than 10,000. but there's cause for celebration here in italy where outdoor markets like this one are finally starting to reopen. most stores are going to remain closed for at least two more weeks. hairdressers have been closed this entire time. as i'm sure you can tell. they're going to stay that way
7:17 am
at least until next month. anthony? >> chris livesay with some encouraging signs in rome. thank you, chris. a colorado paramedic who died from the coronavirus after volunteering to help save lives in new york is being remembered as a hero. emotional tributes were held yesterday as the body of 66-year-old paul cary was transported home. he had already signed up for another thir30 days of service new york before he got sick. jamie yuccas has his story. >> reporter: a somber homecoming sunday for a man who spent his life serving others. after 30 years as a firefighter in aurora, colorado, paul cary became a paramedic. he didn't hesitate when asked to join the battle against coronavirus in new york city. fellow pair medic royce davis -- >> was he the type of guy that wanted to run into the burning building? >> you would not be able to hold him back. that's why he came to new york.
7:18 am
>> reporter: cary came to new york april 1st. part of a wave of out of state medical staff to assist the city's overwhelmed first responders. often transporting covid patients from hospital to hospital. less than two weeks ago, he himself became ill. before succumbing to coronavirus last thursday. as he began his final journey home, new yorkers lined the streets to pay tribute. >> i can see people, citizens standing on theici side of the d clapping a man they never knew. it was a powerful sight. >> mayor bill de blasio said cary will be among those honored in a new memorial to medical workers from around the country who answered new york's call for help. in a statement, cary's two sons and four grandsons say they're at peace knowing he did what he loved and believed it right up until the very end. >> what did he stand for? >> just be humble and go help people. doesn't matter what age you are.

7:31 am
what are they doing here? i thought i'm in the wild right now. look, it's not going to be the same as on foot, but it's better than looking at the animals on a screen. i'm all for it. we're going to shift gears this half hour and talk about this -- many experts predicted at the start of the pandemic that widespread self-isolation would lead to more cases of child abuse. now they believe cases are being under-reported. calls to child abuse hotlines have gone down since stay-at-home orders took effect by around 50% in some states. now 40 welfare workers who are on the front lines protecting children have submitted video diaries to cbs news. first on "cbs this morning," our national correspondent, jericka duncan, shows in their words how the outbreak is putting kids and workers at risk. >> this is our waiting room. it's completely empty. the only reason i am here today is because we have an emergency case coming in. >> just got a call about a child fatality in our area. it just goes right along with the fact that this is a perfect

7:34 am
>> the hardest part about there whole thing is my family's reactions, my partner's reactions to having to go out in the field and expose myself to the virus. truth be told, before i left, i had about a 15-minute argument about whether or not i really needed to go. >> i myself was tested positive four weeks ago, and you know, the experience with people passing around me, it was just like, you know, scary. it was nerve-racking. so i can understand the fear that my staff can have as far as coming to work every day. >> reporter: despite the danger, they're doing whatever it takes to keep children safe. >> we're going to be there no matter what that means. >> for me, it's not even a question. i have no problem risking my life in order to help a kid that's possibly being sexually abused. i can't really think of anything else in this world that would be worth it more. >> reporter: hospitals like cook

7:51 am
day on the front lines of this pandemic. >> we certainly do. and we applauds lesley. i was eati ining my chicken din and dropped my fork. i'm glad she's okay and glad she applauded the medical workers. we all feel that. so 2020 is off to a rough start already -- now we're hearing about a potential deadly bug. >> this 2020, i tell you. just when you thought i'm going to go out -- like but there weekend. if i socially distance, the universe says release the hornets. the asian giant homeownerer called the murder -- hornet called murder hornet has surfaced for the first time. the sting is so powerful it can kill a person stung multiple times. the roughly two-inch-long insects were spotted in washington state in september. they've been known to kill up to 50 people a year in yeah. it's not clear how they got to

8:01 am
opener at 8:00. over the weekend crowds defied social distancing guidelines. people gathered in parks, on beaches and businesses across the country. >> curves are being flattened around the country. that's the good news. as the weather gets nice, people are turning out, but that's bringing a lot of concern for officials nationwide. president trump says he is very confident there will be a coronavirus vaccine by the end of the year. >> we're going to have a vaccine at the end of the year, by the end of the year, have a vaccine. >> there are questions about the pace of reopening in europe as well as here in the united states. >> there's cause for celebration here in italy where outdoor markets are finally starting to reopen. most stores are going to remain closed for at least two more weeks. hairdressers have been closed this entire time as i'm sure you can tell. >> we need to work out how we can reopen parts of society safely, and experts say that really means one thing. >> every public health official says testing, testing, testing. >> testing, testing, testing. >> testing, testing, testing?
8:02 am
. >> testing, testing, testing. >> testing, testing, testing, testing. >> testing, testing, testing, testing. >> yeah. good point, patrick. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. welcome back to "cbs this morning." tony, we all agree from sponge bob to dr. fauci, everybody agrees it's testing. we just don't seem to have gotten that right so far. >> no. you're right. it seems like a mic check almost. testing, one, two. that's their answer and recommendation. i hope we follow it soon. >> i know. can you hear me? we'll begin with this. at least 42 states have now eased coronavirus restrictions in some form as governors and the trump administration face growing pressure to reopen america now. president trump has now revised his latest predicton for the
8:03 am
pandemic's death toll. during a fox news town hall last night he estimated as many as 100,000 americans could die. two weeks ago he projected 50,000 to 60,000. that's a number we've already surpassed. the president says he is confident that a vaccine will be developed by year's end. >> there are some encouraging headlines this morning. the fda authorized a new antibiotic test from a swiss company that boasts near 100% accuracy. the ceo of the company that makes remdesivir says fema will distribute it this week to the most needed areas. the drug has been effective for some patients with severe cases. more than 90 potential coronavirus vaccines are being developed around the world. former fda commissioner scott gottlieb talked to "face the nation" yesterday about when a vaccine could be available. >> i think what we're going to
8:04 am
have in the fall is hopefully multiple manufacturer that have cleared safety trials and have millions of doses that db can b deployed in large scale. you deploy it in a setting of an outbreak to test if it's effective and safe. you continue to steed it. >> and dr. david agus joins us. you're helping design some of the clinical development of a vaccine. how quickly do you think this could happen? >> well, listen, i hope and pray it's here by the end of the year. data on some of the vaccines are mature. they've taken vaccines that have been used before and put in the section for covid-19 so they're skipping some of the early safety studies because they know it's safe, the majority of the vaccine, and we'll see the results over the next several months. if those results are positive, it's certainly possible we have a vaccine in the fall.
8:05 am
>> what look most promising to you, david? >> well, there are, as you alluded to there are close to 100 vaccine candidates around the globe, and about a dozen certainly have science behind them that makes sense. and there's the johnson & johnson, there's the oxford university. there's the madena and pfizer. they all make sense and will be accelerated based on the data they have. i'm encouraged. the problem is you have to make a very potent immune response for it to work. and we never know until it goes into humans whether that immune response is strong enough to provide immunity. that's the key question. >> if we get something to work with here, david, who would get this vaccine first? how would that work, do you think? >> well, they say anthony mason is always first to get this, and then after anthony -- no, it's health care workers on the
8:06 am
frontline are key, obviously. and then people at high risk for complications and being admitted to hospitals. those are people with diabetes, obesity, blood pressure issues and the elderly. if they get the virus, they get sick and are admitted to a hospital. we need people to take care of them. that's the front line workers, as well as the high risk would be the first. >> are you expecting this would be seasonal like the flu, a seasonal vaccine, or a one-time shot? >> well, i think with coronavirus what we're afraid of is the immune response will be good but not great. and so what that means is you're going to need potentially yearly updates of the vaccine to get your immune response going. when you get the flu vaccine, it classically lasts four to six months. the immunity to influenza. the hope is with this vaccine, it will last until the next year, and then another vaccine is given to basically boost immunity again and provide you another year of protection.
8:07 am
but we're not going to know until we see what happens. until we see the immune responses. we should have the first data coming out in june. then we'll know a lot more. >> as you know, david, there are some people who are very skeptical about vaccines. what would you say to them? >> there are people that are skeptical about vaccines? i think in this case, we're going to have to do a vaccine no matter what. the united states got -- dramatically lowered the smoking rates with the argument it's affecting everyone around you. if you don't get a vaccine, the problem is there are a lot of people in the country who cannot develop enough immunity, over within a vaccine, and they may be cancer patients and immune suppressed and elderly. we have to do it to protect each other. this has to be a communal event to get herd immunity so our country is protected. this is everyone stepping up. i hope and pray there aren't
8:08 am
large pocket of the country that don't get vaccinated. >> thank you, david. we're all rooting for this by the end of the year. appreciate it. ahead, we'll talk to megan rapinoe about a major legal setback in the u.s. women's team fight for saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it.

welcome back to "cbs this morning." time to bring you some of the stories that are the "talk of the table" this morning. this is where we pick the stories that have caught our collective eyes, share them with each other and all of you. gayle is going first. >> all right. i'm going to start with actor john krasinski -- love him -- is out with the latest episode of his youtube show called "some good news." have you seen it? he surprised a handful of graduating students with a chance to talk with some of the most popular, well-known people on the planet. how's this for the lineup -- john stewart, malala, steven spielberg, and oprah who all had
8:31 am
advice. oprah was talking about what we can learn during tough times. here's what she had to say -- >> there have been several times in my life, amanda, when things didn't go the way i wanted. i believe that failure is an opportunity to move yourself in a different direction. it gets better because you learned the lessons from the first time. >> the person on mr. krasinski's show before you, their question was answered by oprah. >> wow. >> so i think it's clear sometimes in life you're going to get the short end of the stick. >> jon stewart always going for the joke. he also said, he also had a good message, he said they are the captain of their own ship, and they will write their own story. this is the thing about john krasinski, number one, i love the lineup he put together, but he intended this as -- maybe he was going do one, but they've taken off. they're well done.
8:32 am
bravo to him. >> yeah. i love that he's honoring graduates. i've also got a graduation story that i love. >> yes. >> the principal of wiley high school in suburban dallas went out of his way to honor graduating seniors during the coronavirus shutdown. verdy montgomery drove 800 miles, over 12 days, to see all 612 of his senior students at their home. he took a selfie of each visit, made a video, prom and other senior events had to be canceled, of course, because of the stay-at-home in order texas. principal montgomery said the most important thing is that the students know they are cared about. i love this story. he did -- one day alone he did 91 visits. what he said is he wanted to make their -- he said eaven now that i've done this you still have a what else can i do feeling because i know how they feel that they're missing out. i love that story. tony? >> yes. me, too. >> yeah. i love that, as well.
8:33 am
we all want to know we're cared about, and we want to be care good equally on. that subject, my "talk of the table" is the u.s. women's soccer team. one of the most successful female sports teams in american history. but the players have been arguing that they are not being treated the same as the men's team. a federal judge threw out the equal pay claim in their lawsuit on friday, though he will allow them to go forward and fight other issues like travel and medical support. a trial is set for june. and the team's co-captain, megan rapinoe, is going to join us from greenwich, connecticut. good morning. >> good morning. how are you doing? >> there is now -- doing all right. we appreciate you continuing to come on and talk about this case so publicly and being so transparent about it. i think the first question has to be, this has been a four-year fight. you were asking for $67 million in back pay at a men minimum, t judge said, nope, threw the-year-old thing out. what's your reaction? >> shocked to be honest, very shocked. and of course disappointed in
8:34 am
this. i didn't -- i didn't feel like the ruling really captured the heart of what we're after. if we were under the men's contract, which for the record we asked to be under the men's contract, it was repeatedly refused to us, not only in the structure but in the total compensation, if we were under that contract, we would, you know, earn at least three times higher than we have. the argument that we've earned more over the course of the time we're talking about than the men's team really misses the -- misses the whole point. we've won two world cups. and we've won basically every game that we've played, darn near. to have that compared in that way and sort of missing the fact that we've outperformed the men's team just to say that we earned a little bit more money i feel like misses the heart of the gender discrimination suit that we brought against the federation. >> yeah. well, you touch on an important point here that is central to the judge's argument in
8:35 am
dismissing the pay portion of this. and neither of us are lawyers, but i think as a matter of public argument we can understand this. the judge is saying that the women could have negotiated a different contract but chose not to. and the men negotiated the one that they did. so you can't now go back and say, hey, we wish we had done it differently. that's his position. what's your response to that? >> as i'm sure many women who have been in our position can s sympathize, we did ask for the same contract. we asked for the same amount of money, and that was repeatedly in no uncertain terms told that was not going to be possible. so for the ruling to sort of imply that we were peach keen with the original deal that we got and now that we're understanding that we could have had more money and we're going back on it is very frustrating for us. at the time, we. like we negotiated -- we felt like we negotiated the best deal that we were offered. at the time it was clear, as
8:36 am
well, that the money that we were going to be paid or the money that we could even negotiate with was going to be far less than what was being offered to the men. >> yeah. so the women's national team has said they're going to appeal. you're going to be part of that appeal. but the u.s. soccer federation has said they're looking forward to charting a fair path forward. those are their words. does that potentially mean there could be a settlement sneer are you open to that? >> i think that we've been very transparent about our openness to a settlement. ultimately what we want to get to is something that's fair and equal. and if that comes in the form of a settlement, we are definitely open to that. i don't think anybody is dying to go into litigation or go to trial or go through a lawsuit. this has been a very arduous process as players. we're always open to that. but with that, we're not going to settle. we know what we're worth. we feel very strong in our case, even with this ruling. maybe even -- even stronger now.
8:37 am
so a settlement is always on the table. we'll always have open ears to that. but it will be nothing less than equal. >> yeah. i should clarify something which is important here. i said that they wanted to chart a fair path forward. the exact word in the quote is a positive path forward. on that front, in these four years you've been having this fight, there have been changes atop the leadership structure of u.s. soccer. there's now a new president, cindy cohn, a former member of the women's national team. i'm curious, has she reached out as a fellow player to say, hey, let's work out a deal? >> i've not heard from her since the ruling. we have had a conversation with her as players prior. but i know the kind of axe falls on the head of the president. i think that cindy has a very being job ahead of her. i don't think we can let the board off, as well. i think that the board of directors has a huge decisionmaking role within u.s. soccer, and they always have.
8:38 am
so i think they need to be a part of this conversation, as well. and it needs to come from both cindy, who's obviously the figurehead, but from the board, as well. and again, always open that conversation. we are always willing to listen. but in the absence of something that truly is fair and equal, i'm not sure a positive path is really what we're after. >> yeah. former vice president joe biden leading contender for the democratic presidential nomination has voiced his support for your position saying if he's president or when he's president, he will push the equal pay initiative. if he part of your plan going forward? and speaking of your alliance with him, i am curious, you appeared with him in a video interview just a day before he appeared on "morning joe" to address for the first time the tara reade allegations. since you've been so closely aligned with him and since he's behind you in this fight for equality, what did you think of his reaction to those
8:39 am
allegations and how do they affect the campaign? >> i mean, i think all allegations of sexual assault need to be taken very seriously. you know, i welcome the media talking about it and welcome a full investigation. i think that any woman who comes forward deserves that. in terms of his support for the lawsuit, we welcome any and all support from both sides of the aisle. we have had a lot of support on both sides of the aisle across the political spectrum about this. i think that this issue goes beyond politics, goes beyond partisanship. i think there is just an issue really of human rights and of what is fair and equal under the law. >> all right. megan rapinoe. thank you again for coming on to talk about this issue. we will have you on for the next chapter. appreciate it. the cbs hit drama "all rise" is back tonight as the first scripted tv series to air a virtual episode about the pandemic. ahead, star simone missick joins us to talk about how it reflects

8:44 am
carmichael, another bad ass, in the hit "all rise." it's set in los angeles courthouse. the show is the first prime time scripted series to produce a virtual episode that reflects the realities of the coronavirus. so in tonight's very special episode, recorded using facetime and zoom, judge carmichael must provide over virtual bench trial during a mandatory shelter-in-place order. >> in the matter of the people versus kurt betow, i would have preferred you came to me with a plea deal. >> are we on the record? >> yes, i'm typing. >> yes, are you in judge carmichael's chambers in front of her desk. >> good to know. >> and judge carmichael is very displeased with you two. >> i would have expected -- >> displeased? really is that how you're going to talk to counsel? >> excuse me. wait. is this your first time appearing in front of judge carmichael? >> first time -- >> it doesn't matter. >> everyone, be quiet. >> your honor -- >> simone missick joins us from
8:45 am
her home in los angeles. they were actually in courtroom 802. good morning to you, simone. let's just say this -- it was -- you and your crew should give yourself a round of applause. i'm giving you a round of applause now. it was so creative, as a whole do -- nicely done. how did you up come up with the idea and more importantly, how did you pull that off? >> oh, my goodness. so greg spicewood, our show creator, was just trying to figure out how they could come up with a finale. you know, we stopped filming in the middle of our second to last episode. it was supposed to be a two-parter. so our show producers were trying to figure out how we could give a proper farewell. and at some point, greg and inkind of joked about how one of our characters could work from home because she was pregnant in real life, ruby ann miles. and so i said, well, if anybody can tell lola what to do from
8:46 am
home it would be sheri. and i don't know what came first, the chicken or the egg, but they came up with the virtual episode. it was very much inspired by everything that's going on right now. courts are happening virtually. people are all working from home in the majority of, you know, the world. and so they came up with it, they sent actors equipment and things that they needed to use during the filming, but we all had our own computers, our own phones. they sent us some lights, and, you know, we just dove head first into this. >> well, let me just say mission accomplished. what was so cool about it is that you guys hit testing, adult kids telling their parents to stay home, dealing with kids in a meeting from home, toilet paper shortages, exercising, there was one thing about a black man with a mask who had a bandanna and people crossing the street which i've heard actually is happening to black men in this country. then you talk about inmates in
8:47 am
prison. it was all so relevant, all of the things that you hit on, talking too loud on the zoom which i find myself doing. so what are you hoping people will get out of this? there were many messages in this show. >> you know, our show tends to always try to be very current and very present. and one of the things that i've niced being at home and -- i've noticed being at home and binging tv, everything feels like it's b.c., before the coronavirus. and there's something about giving our audiences a very present story that is comforting. that does show them how fellow citizens are deal with this pandemic, that they are not alone. but i think that it also does raise a lot of important issues that we need to discuss and consider as a society, you know. it's very difficult to think outside of your own situation. you know, taking care of an elderly parent or if you're immunocompromised or out of work. this also allows you to think about the people in the legal system, the prisoners, and the
8:48 am
people who work in essential industries who cannot take a day off. and so it -- if show like all of our episodes just tries to open up everyone's perspective. to look outside of themselves and to look at their neighbor and see how they can help or where they're coming from. >> there was also -- i noticed a thing it looks like a sort of a tie or nod to d. nice. there was a deejay played by dorian missick who is sort of like the voice through the whole episode about how people are feeling, what they're doing. what did you think of dorian missick's performance? did he do okay? >> well, you know, he -- he's all right. no. you know, as my husband, i'm always his number-one cheerleader. he is a deejay in real life, and he had been, you know, deejaying and doing different fundraisers on instagram in order to raise money for essential workers. >> we should say that dorian is
8:49 am
your husband. dorian is your husband, and he's -- he's also an actor, we should also point that out. and i'm curious how you two are navigating quarantining. it seeps to be going okay. starting with that painting of the little girl on the other side of your head -- i love her. i love her. >> oh, oh, thank you. thank you. >> i love that. >> we've been doing well. we had a bit of a scare at the beginning, my mother-in-law came down with the coronavirus. she -- >> i'm sorry. >> she started experiencing -- yeah, she started experiencing -- >> she's okay? >> on the 15th of march. and she is now well, home, and completely getting better and better every day. and you know, it brought our family closer. >> i'm glad she's okay. >> now via zoom, yes. thank you. it allowed us to -- >> it is bringing families
8:50 am
closer together. >> it is -- >> yeah. >> we're not arguing about it. >> bravo tonight's show. tonight, "all rise," 9:00, 8:00 central on cbs.
