have a great day. ♪ good morning to you, and welcome to "cbs this morning." it's tuesday, may 5th, 2020. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. dire warnings. as more states ease restrictions, new models suggest the coronavirus could surge again this summer, potentially causing more than 3,000 deaths a day. how plans to reopen affect the projections. kids and the virus. doctors race to find out why some children face-life threatening complications while most only have mild symptoms. >> cruise control. companies plan to launch new voyages in august amid heavy criticism for their handling of the outbreak.

how cruises will be very different. and rowing to the rescue. gondoliers in venice, italy, are helping the city recover from the pandemic. what america can learn from europe. >> and we're listening. but first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. >> we must figure out a path forward, but we must always be aware that this virus is still with us. >> the death toll from coronavirus in the u.s. could drastically increase in the coming weeks just as states are reopening. >> how much suffering are we willing to accept to get back to what you want to be some form of normality sooner rather than later? >> the senate is back in washington but not all lawmakers agree on the decision to return. >> if we're going to make these fine people come into work, let the senate at least conduct the nation's business and focus like a laser on covid-19. >> we're about to start baseball. >> pumped up. >> live sports are coming back

to tv with espn announcing they'll broadcat the korean baseball organization. >> if there's live baseball, it's a beautiful day to me. >> amen to that. >> the quiet streets of one turkish city were filled with sheep. >> no imaginary virus too great for this firefighting toddler in england. >> all that -- >> this is my way of living and nobody is going to tell me any other way. >> nicolas cage is tapped to play tiger joe. >> i wrote myself into my screen play. that's kind of weird, isn't it? >> congratulations, dad. >> thanks. >> are you get anything sleep? >> i just discovered coffee. so i'm -- this is my -- i only allow myself two a day, but i -- >> what do you m mean you just discovered coffee. you're 52 years old. >> on "cbs this morning." >> hey! >> oh, my god. he's going to cry. >> there was a gender reveal

over the weekend with a golf ball. the result was not what the kid wanted. >> it's okay, bud. it's okay, buddy. >> it's okay. >> i wanted a baby boy. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." tony, he'll be excited one of these days. i remember when gender reveal used to happen at delivery. you'd look down and see what's happening there and you knew instantly what it was. now it's different these days. >> yeah, gayle, you're right. i never understood the modern gender reveals. wasn't it surprise enough when the doctor held up the baby. that little boy hasn't figured out yet girls rock, too. >> thank you for that, tony dokoupil. we begin with two staggering new projections for how many americans could die from the coronavirus as states start to

reopening warm spring weather and eased restrictions in a lot of states have led more americans to gather in public spaces like the parks and shopping malls. >> now one model once frequently cited by the white house is warning about the risks of rushing the recovery. less than a week ago, a group at the university of washington projected america's death toll would hit 72,000 by august 4th. now they warn that number could sharply rise to 134,000 if strict measures like social distancing are eased. we'll have more on the second model shortly, but first, janet shamlian is in houston which is partially open again despite a spike in cases in texas. >> from the public health point of view, namely, there will be more deaths. >> repeporter: chris murray, director of the institute for health metrics and evaluation at the university of washington isn't mincing words. relaxing social distancing guidelines too soon, he says,

will cause a major spike. >> this rise in mobility the last week or 10 days is likely leading to some increased transmission. >> reporter: the model's projections, favored by the white house, worry health officials as states across the country reopen. katie meeks owns a houston toy store, once again open. >> we had people right at 10:00. i had people call the day before asking, and they were here first thing ready to shop in person with their mask on. >> are you having any issues with social distancing? >> no, i would say for the most part, people have been respectful. we put a sign on the door asking people to please wear a mask when they come in and reminding them that we will be practicing social distancing in the store. >> reporter: people wore masks in her store. but across the country, more instances of defiance. in flint, michigan, three people are charged with murder for allegedly killing security guard calvin munerlyn at this family dollar store.

the father of eight was shot and killed for telling a customer to wear a mask. >> our kids grew up together. our kids grew up together, and this is senseless over a mask! over a mask! i don't understand it. >> usa! usa! >> reporter: meanwhile in boston, protests continued with hundreds gathering in close proximity outside the statehouse. demanding the economy reopen. some holding signs reading "everyone is essential." in california, amid growing pressure, governor gavin newsom announced some low-risk businesses like bookstores and florists can open for curbside pickup on friday. and following days of protests, beaches in two orange county cities will also open with restrictions. >> this is a very positive sign, and it's happened only for one reason. the data says it can happen. >> reporter: and for california, that same study out of the

university of washington shows an expected doubling of cases and deaths by the end of august. in new york, governor cuomo is looking at taking a similar tact as that of california, but only after lockdown ends on may 15th, and only after certain tracing and testing requirements have been met. tony? >> all right, janet, thank you. let's get to the other model. it's a draft federal government model based on preliminary data. it warns of dire consequences if reopening is not done with proper care. the scenario planning information, as it's known, is based on research developed by johns hopkins and says average daily death toll from this virus could nearly double to 3,000 by june 1st. president trump has been publicly encouraging states to reopen, of course. paula reed is at the white house for us. good morning. what is the president saying about all of this? >> good morning, tony. in an interview last night with "the new york post," the president said he's never seen this document. but the researchers who did this

analysis say their data was preliminary and wasn't supposed to be used to make predictions but they do concede that there are some scenarios, especially if social distancing is eased too soon that could result in a significant increase in the number of people who die from coronavirus. president trump called the document fake. but cbs news has learned the slide presentation is based on preliminary analysis developed by researchers at the johns hopkins school of public health and presented to fema. in a statement, the school said the results were not to be used as forecasts, but illustrate that some scenarios, like relaxing social distancing too soon, are likely to cause significant increases in covid cases and deaths in the u.s. dr. anthony fauci said that while models can change based on the assumptions entered, the core principles don't. >> when you have mitigation that's containing something, and unless it's down in the right

direction and you pull back prematurely, you'll get a rebound of cases. >> reporter: and while the president dismissed the fema document, even the white house's preferred model, the ihme, has nearly doubled its prediction of lives lost. and over the past two months, the president has repeatedly revised his estimate. >> it's looking like it's heading to 50,000 or more deaths. it looks like we'll be at about a 60,000 mark. we're going to lose anywhere from 75,000, 80,000 to 100,000 people. >> reporter: cbs news chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook says models are useful for policy making. >> it's one big moving target. as the data changed, the projections are going to change. the important thing is to look at the changes in the projections and say, hmm, maybe i should alter my strategy if the projections are different than i thought they were going to be. >> reporter: the trump administration, though, seems unmoved by these dire new predictions. a top white house adviser told

cbs news yesterday they believe that these new models actually support what the administration has done so far. later this morning, the president will head to arizona where he will tour an aerospace factory that's been converted to make personal protective equipment. gayle? >> all right. thank you, paula. big question today, will the president wear a mask? we'll see. new york city police have sidelined an officer who punched a man during an arrest over social distancing. video shows the officer approaching an eyewitness. his name is donni wright, with a taser on saturday before hitting him and throwing him to the ground. an nypd report says wright took a fights against against the officer despite commands to leave the scene. new york mayor bill de blasio says the officer's actions were, in his words, simply not acceptable. wright's sister and mother told cbs news the city hasn't done enough to punish the officer who

is now on modified duty. >> you're still getting paid while my brother is out of work because of the damage and abuse. he should not be able to be on the job right now. this pandemic that's going on is kind of bringing everybody together and close. why would you want to stir up stuff as that, so rude and reckless and so violent. it just took me apart. >> the video is very tough to watch. wright was charged with assault on a police officer and resisting arrest, but the d.a.'s office has deferred prosecution during the investigation. anthony? >> thanks, gayle. supermarket chains like costco and kroger are now limiting how much meat shoppers can buy during the pandemic. supplies are starting to run short after virus outbreak forced some meat processing plants to close. employees are returning to work

this week after the president ordered plants to stay open to prevent shortages. dean reynolds is following the story. >> reporter: jbs plants and a tyson facility are among the meat processors partially reopening this week. jbs says it will ramp up safety precautions while tyson says workplaces will be retrofitted with partitions and thermometers. >> we have secured the personal protective equipment for smithfield and also will make sure the contact tracing happens as well. >> reporter: south dakota governor kristi noem is providing equipment to the smithfield plant in sioux falls where more than 800 workers tested positive for the virus. >> it will take control of the meat processing plants. obviously, it's -- have entire communities getting infected. >> reporter: axel fuentes is suing smithfield alleging workers were not properly

protected. >> there are still some areas where the workers are crowding. >> reporter: smithfield issued a statement saying it has a policy of not commenting on the specifics of pending litigation. we are doing everything in our power to help protect our team members from covid-19 in the workplace. smithfield says there will be new protocols, including physical barriers between workers, plus temperature checks. do you think there's going to be more of these plants, though, where they just have to shut them down because these are turning into hot spots? >> they should close it down. if we want to prevent the spread in this virus, they should not be working. >> reporter: supermarkets are trying to avoid what they call panic buying by placing those limits on the sale of meat, but experts say there are going to be some shortages anyway because the processing plants won't all come back to work at once. tony? >> all right, dean reynolds, thank you very much.

the national institutes of health is launching a study to learn more about how the coronavirus affects children. while most kids have milder symptoms than adults, not all do. our senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula reports on what doctors hope to learn in the study. >> i would never picture me having to be intubated, being in the hospital. >> reporter: 16-year-old karla duarte is a coronavirus survivor. the high school junior from new york is one of the relatively few children in the u.s. to have severe complications from covid-19. >> her numbers were not improving. her oxygen level was not improving. >> reporter: doctors told karla's mom they had one treatment option left. an ecmo machine which pumps and oxygenates the patient's blood outside the body. >> when they told me about the machine, they said, this is 50/50. >> reporter: after seven days on ecmo and five or on a ventilator, karla's condition finally improved. she was sent home after 21 days in the hospital. >> you never had any medical

problems before this? >> no. >> reporter: serious cases like karla's are rare, complicating the efforts of investigators. >> we have much less experience because the children are just getting less sick so there are many fewer children interacting with the health care system and being tested. >> reporter: dr. tina hartert is leading a new nih study remotely monitoring about 2,000 children and their families in 11 cities nationwide. she says more data should be collected before a decision is made to send kids back to summer camp or school. >> i think it's really risky to base decisions about this based on the fact that children get less sick from this virus because that does not equal children being less likely to transmit the virus. >> we're not completely sure what are the risk factors for why these children get sick with covid. >> reporter: dr. adrianne randolph is leading a separate cdc-funded study at boston children's hospital. what are some of the interesting

or different presentations that you've seen in children with covid-19? >> it's scattered reports. what they are seeing is cardiac dysfunction. so that their heart is not working as well as it should. and abdominal pain is often part of the presentation. >> reporter: 12-year-old juliet daly went into cardiac arrest. >> they had to do two minutes of cpr on her. and then they got her back, thank god. >> reporter: her mom says she tested positive for the coronavirus and another viral infection. she was in the icu for ten days before recovering. >> what message would you want to give other families regarding children and the risk of covid? >> be vigilant. be careful. it can become very severe in less than a day. >> reporter: the new york city department of health says there are 15 children in the hospital with a very rare inflammatory syndrome that they are saying is potentially associated with the coronavirus. it can involve fever, rash, low

blood pressure and inflammation of the blood vessels, including the coronary arteries. >> oh, boy, tara. one of the more fortunate aspects is, although we've seen some severe cases, children generally have more mild symptoms. do we know why? >> it's really fascinating, tony. and the experts say we don't. there are a couple of theories. one has to do with the fact children may have less of those ace receptors. these are the receptors in the lungs the virus attaches to and gets into the cells. that may be why they don't get sick. another theory is the fact that children are exposed all the time to lots of other coronaviruses, the ones that cause the common cold so they may be developing antibodies to those cross-reactive to covid-19 and, therefore, helping them. and the last is that their immune system may be primed just right so they don't have that overwhelming citokine storm that's causing a lot of adults

to get into trouble with covid-19, but a lot of questions remain. >> very interesting and we've had questions about the school year. now questions about summer camp. that's a big one in my household. tara, thanks. ahead, the push to give nursing homes liability protection after thousands of residents and workers die from the coronavirus. >> >> announcer: this national weather report sponsored by the makers of nondrowsy 24-hour

warm spring weather and eased restrictions in states have led more americans to gather in public spaces. one model frequently cited about the white house is warning about the risks of rushing the recovery. a draft government model warns of dire consequences if reopening is not done with proper care. in bean interview with the "new york post" the president said he's never seen the document. costco and kroger are limiting how much meat customers buy. >> reporter: supermarkets trying to avoid what they call panic buying. children have more mild symptoms. do we know why? >> it's really fascinating, tony and the experts say we don't. >> this global pandemic is depressing but there is some happier news from the smile file. because murder hornets have arrived in the u.s.

>> murder hornets? i want to go back to the days when the crazy thing was keyboard cat. it was playing and pretty good >> this morning's eye opener is presented aboutby toyota. >> welcome back to "cbs morning news." i'm with you, trevor noah. a coronavirus pandemic, shut down in stay-at-home and now we have murder hornets. i'm thinking somebody is really mad at us, anthony mason. >> it's a sign of the apocaly e apocalypse, when the murder hornets come you know you're in trouble. it is too much. >> yes. we begin here this hour at least 43 states have now partially reopened in various forms, but as social distancing is eased, two new projections show potentially dire consequences if restrictions are eased too quickly. a university of washington model often cited by the white house has raised its projected death toll to more than 134,000 by

august. that's nearly double the estimate from less than a week ago, largely because more americans are leaving their homes. >> quite a wide range of forecasts from the model, as the evolution in each state will depend a lot on just how much mobility bounces back as some social mandates are lifted. >> meanwhile a draft model provided to fema says 3,000 dead per day could be possible by june. for context the current rate is about 1,800. cbs news learned that data is based on a model developed by johns hopkins researchers. president trump told "the new york post" he's never seen that document claiming it is "fake news." the new york police department has been hit very hard by this pandemic. more than 5,000 nypd members tested positive, and at least 38 officers have died.

john miller, deputy commissioner of intelligence and counterterrorism was one of those hospitalized with the coronavirus. miller we should let you know is a former senior correspond errant for this broadcast. first on "cbs this morning," he joins us from nypd headquarters where he's back on the job. john miller, let me say this. you are a sight for sore eyes. i speak for cbs news by i have no authority to do saying you are beloved in the building and we're so glad you're okay. i can't stress how much i'm so delighted to see you this morning. everybody has a different experience with coronavirus, briefly tell us what was yours. what happened? we got very serious for you. >> i'm one of those don't go to the doctor, don't get help, you know, whatever it is, it will go away by itself guys and i was tangling with a very wrong disease but emily, my wife, kind of told on me. i think it was 10:00 on a weeknight she called the doctor at home and said temperature is going up to 103, oxygen levels

are going down and i'm worried. he got me on the phone and said "i'm calling an ambulance and you are going to the hospital." i said "i am not going to the hospital in an ambulance. i got a police car outside, i can take myself to the hospital." he said "i'm calling an ambulance." i said i'll beat it there so don't bother. so i surrendered at the lennox hill hospital and you know, i got to say, i'm glad i did, because within a couple of days, i realized without all the oxygen that i was on 24/7, i wasn't going to be at the oxygen levels, the heart rate, the ability to breathe and the team there. my doctor stewart arsher, nurses maris marissa, madeleine, kaitlyn, sam, isaac, amazing, gayle, because remember, they're in crisis, too. >> that's what we keep hearing,

yes. we hear all the time. >> and the professionalism was amazing and the kindness, too. the second part is optional. they have to be professional but they were incredible there. >> we can't thank them enough. the more stories you hear above and beyond the call of duty. we have pictures of you, john, in the hospital including one i think is a funny shot. looks like you on a tv screen, wherer th where they're reporting about you and sitting in the hospital bed. had to be disconcerting. >> dr. mina had just left. he said you're doing fine. there was a lady taking blood from me and she looked up at the screen and looked down and i said, yeah, that's me. and she said that's you? i said it says i'm in serious condition. she said, "you're fine, stop it." so it was a little bit of an out of body experience. >> yeah. listen, thousands of officers are now returning to work after being diagnosed with covid.

what's being done to protect the force? >> well, this has been, you know, a daily battle to stay ahead of that curve. the nypd was hit hard with this, because when nothing else works, people call the police, and that's the part that has to work. so the department has been going 24/7, but you know, when you have 5,000 people out sick, who are going out at a rate of 300 a day, you know, thank god that's down to about 1,800 now, our normal sick rate on an average day without a pandemic is 2.73% been we were approaching much bigger percentage than we'd seen before. how do you buy a million masks, million sets of gloves, how do you buy them right now, yesterday. that involved the deputy commissioner for management and budget, the city comptroller, administrative services for that

city. if you go to a police station or police headquarters now, doesn't matter if you're a police officer, the commanding officer, the deputy commissioner, or a prisoner in handcuffs, you're being scanned for your temperature before you go in. if the temperature is high or you answer the questions about contacts you've had, you know, that goes into a higher level of screening, it's about the social distancing, the protective equipment, and making sure that you catch these things every way you can, so you can get people help. >> we've all gotten the orders now. we just have to follow them. john, we have to talk about a story the nypd is making national news and not in a good way. you've seen it the optics are not good, a man was arrested in connection -- >> john. >> yes, anthony? >> what you can tell us about that? >> we're having -- are we all

right now? >> he's frozen? >> having trouble with gayle's shot. we were having trouble. >> i got gayle's audio back. >> go ahead. >> okay, john. go ahead, john. >> so, yes. well a couple of things. one, anybody who tells you that's not a disturbing videotape hasn't seen the videotape. two, is you learn when you go into the investigations, the videotape tends to tell the end of the event, it doesn't always depict the beginning of the event, so you know, that officer is now on modified assignment, that means he's operating without a badge, without a gun on desk duty, pending the investigation. we'll look into every aspect of this, what do the witnesses say, are there other videos what, does the officer say, what do his partners say. preliminarily it says the individual he has contact with was interfering with the arrest and then took a fighting stance. of course, you know, you take that version, you take the version on the video, you take what all the witnesses say, and that's what makes up an

investigation. so we're very early in that process, but we have a good history of investigating those things, and taking action where appropriate. we're just at the very beginning. >> well, okay. you know, it's being reported he's an eight-year veteran, that he's been sued, this officer, seven times over the last six years so a lot of people have a lot of questions about the case. we'll be following it. but of course, i just want to end with this -- >> and they should but we also -- thanks, gayle, i appreciate it and gayle, thank you for, thanks for the messages from everybody at cbs when i was in the hospital. thanks for your message. thanks for sending that video for my daughter's birthday, because you know, when you're a 17-year-old, you know, kaya couldn't have a birthday party but 33 texts via video and you were one of them so i appreciate all that personally. >> we're glad kaya had a great birthday and glad someone said you have coronavirus hair who

welcome back to "cbs this morning". time to bring you some of the stories that are the talk of our tables this morning. these are the stories that have caught our collective eyes that i want to share with each other and with all of you at home and gayle is first out of the gate. okay. this caught my collective eye, anthony, because i guarantee you you've never seen anything like this before. wild video out of indonesia. it shows a monkey riding a tiny scooter. let's start with that for a second. then grabbing a small child, a little girl by her shirt, dragging the toddler by her shirt. the child gets up and walks

away. the incident happened before a street performance involving the monkey. the little girl was going to be okay because it's very jarring and upsetting to watch because you don't know what you're watching when you see this little child being pulled down the treat. they say there was a street performance under way at the time, music playing, this monkey comes up on the scooter. people didn't know if they were watching a show or what it was. mom knew it was no show. a very scary time. the little girl is okay. i have never seen anything like that. have you, tony dokoupil? >> i have not seen anything like that. thing that leaps out to me the detail about the street performance around the concern. maybe the monkey doesn't want to perform any more. i'm glad the parents were there to break it up and the little girl is okay. i got another story of childhood a little bit different, happier. major league baseball still on hold but biggest play of the year has already happened for

one excited father in georgia. take a look at this. >> wow! good job. >> that is little asher hitting his home run on a real field last week. dad, a former independent league player said it's a moment that will be remembered forever in his household. i love everything about this video. most of all if you have ever hit tennis balls you recognize that sound, that particular ping. second of all, heck of a swing on the little guy and the bat flipped to boot and third i don't know who is younger when i watch this video. 5-year-old asher or his dad. the years just melted away and the dad is so excited. i'm a sucker for father-son videos. >> me too. the father made sure that his son will remember it forever too

just by that reaction. went on all around the bases. here's my story. the met gala new york's a-list night of fashion traditionally takes place the first monday of may but, of course, it was postponed because of the outbreak. instead yesterday vogue editor-in-chief spoke during a live stream special called moment with the met. take a look. >> this is a time of a brief and hardship for millions and postponement of a party is nothing in comparison. and yet one thing that we have learned through this difficult time is that we need each other. the community is essential to who we are. if we are to come out of this pandemic stronger and more resilient, we must emerge through it connected as never before. >> she then introduced the musical guests of the night, florence welch who sang "you got the love."

but it's really stunning because the gala which typically -- which every year benefits the costume institute at the metropolitan museum and raises a big part of the budget for the institute so, they are losing out this year. and the met, i was talking to danielle weiss, they are not looking to open again until probably july at the earliest, maybe august. a lot of museums really suffering in this moment, tony. >> yeah. i know. we need to do everything we can to support them. you mentioned august. i will be there if those doors open then for sure. all right. in our series on the new normal we look at how the pandemic is dramatically changing our every day lives. those changes affect the way we work, learn, socialize and vote. after weeks ever social distancing most of us have had our routines completely upended. james clear's best selling book "atomic habits," an easy way to build good habits and break bad

ones. he has ways to create new and healthy routines during this crisis. james, good morning. it's been pointed out that right now all of us are simultaneously in essence breaking our addiction with the normal that was. we're in withdrawal and we got to come up with a new way of running our lives with everything changed. how do we start from nothing and build healthy habits again? >> yeah. it's a great question. any time the environment changes in a big way behavior will change in a big way and we all have had our environments and context shifted in ways we didn't expect. so, two of the things you can focus on if you want to build better habits during this time period, two of the first things is make it obvious and make it easy. as an example, you know, i have used this time during lockdown to foster reading habit more. so i sort of sprinkled books around-the-house that's on my

desk, in my office, next to the bed, living room table. but then i've also taken audible and moved it to the home screen. so it's the first thing i see. ways of making that habit more obvious and easy to do. the other concept environment design make the habit path of least resistance. it can be helpful as we need to redesign the nchts we live and work in right now. >> james, this is the thing. i think the days all run together. tom hanks said it best when he said today is today. all day long i kept thinking i'll get on the treadmill and never did. i'm sitting there really, just paralyzed at the kitchen table. what do we do to stay on track to keep our regular routine or exercising routine? so difficult. >> hi, gayle. it's a good question. i think we all have felt that. the philosophy or the mantra that i like to keep in smiendmi

reduce the scope but keep to the schedule. it's hard right now. people are missing the habits that they had before. we wish we can go to our old gym and see our friend or to our favorite coffee shop and journalism like we always do. because we don't have that doesn't mean we can't do anything. so i think rather than trying to achieve high performance right now, the place focus is rather to avoid errors, to invert it, don't put up a zero day, reduce the schedule. you can't write as much as you wanted to do but maybe you can write one sentence. you don't do 45 minute work out but you can do one pushup. those are small things but they count for a lot because they cast a vote for the type of person you want to become.

i want reinforces that identity. it gives a signal to your self that the situation is not ideal. the circumstance is not perfect. but i was still able to show up and be the kind of person i want to be. so i think that idea of scaling down but not having a zero day i think is important to keep in mind during this time. >> i think that's a wonderful point. it's about shifting your focus and redefining success for these new conditions that we're living in. one of the things i think is really interesting in what you propose regardless of a person's goals they can do something called habit stacking to reach those goals. can you tell us what habit stacking is and how it can help us achieve our earned? >> yes. this is a great strategy. originally designed bay professor at stanford. his big insight is that a good way to build a new habit is stack it on top of an old one. let's say that you already make a cup of coffee every morning and you're feeling stressed and uncertain by the current situation and so you're telling

yourself it would being a great if i could build a meditation habit. so you essentially take say after my current habit after i drink a cup of coffee i'll meditate for 60 seconds. and the key is choosing a small and easy to doha about it and layering it on top of those things that you already do that you can rely on that you know will be an anchor in your day. and what it does, what i think is useful about it, it gives you a clear and easy place to insert that habit in your life. a lot of people feel like oh, if i had more motivation i would stick to my habits or if i had more will power or self-discipline. that's not right. people feel like what they lack is motivation but what they really lack is clarity. habit stacking is make it clear when a new habit will occur. so you stack a new habit on top of an old one. >> great jokes online.

day one of quarantine. everybody has it together. day 30, complete mess. day 60 looking good again. thank you very much. ahead we'll take you to venice, italy where volunteers are california phones offers free specialized phones... like cordless phones, - (phone ringing) - big button, and volume-enhanced phones. get details on this state program.
