and later, this mother's day, a woman who's always on the front lines. >> she saves people's lives. >> reporter: do you think your mom is a superhero? >> yeah. i love her so much. this is the "cbs weekend news." >> donaldson: good evening. i'm bob donaldson at wttv cbs 4 reporting in indianapolis. happy mother's day. we begin with new warnings about the virus-infected economy. today, the trump admininistratin said the number of unemployed americans could get worse. also today, new projections show coronavirus deaths in this country could reach 137,000 by august. illinois, arizona, florida and california-- examples of states where cases and deaths going up faster than expected. even the white house, one of the world's most secure buildings,

is not immune from the virus. nikole killion begins our coverage. >> reporter: the president's economic team warns things could get worse before they get better, and they insist it's important to reopen the economy safely, even as more administration officials self- quarantine. on "face the nation," white house economic adviser kevin hassett predicted how high the unemployment rate could go. >> i think will climb up towards 20% by next month. >> reporter: the latest report shows unemployment has already climbed to nearly 15%, and more than 20 million americans lost their jobs last month. >> i don't want to sugarcoat it, because i think the numbers for may are going to be also very difficult numbers. >> reporter: national economic says informal talks are underway on another possible relief package as the administration monitors states reopening. >> there's a considerable risk of not reopening. you're talking about what would be permanent economic damage. >> reporter: as more americans return to work, three of the

white house's top health officials, including dr. anthony fauci, are going into quarantine. all plan to testify remotely this week at a senate hearing, after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. the vice president's press secretary is among those recently diagnosed. at a meeting with military leaders this weekend, no one, including the president, wore a mask. but other white house staffers are taking precautions. >> i've got a mask right here. and the fact is that-- that i practice aggressive social distancing. i'll wear a mask when i feel it's necessary. it is scary to go to work. >> reporter: a senior white housciero wearing, and the partn that weekend meeting were all tested beforehand. cbs news has also learned the west wing will expand testing starting monday, and limit who is near the president and vice president. bob? >> donaldson: nikole, thank you. the presence of the virus so

close to home isn't stopping the president's determination to restart both the country, and his presidential campaign. cbs news political correspondent ed o'keefe joins us now. ed, why is the president so eager to get out of the white house? >> reporter: well, bob, for one thing, he's trailing joe biden now in head-to-head match-ups both nationally and in key battleground states. so until he can begin rallies again, his campaign is starting a $10 million ad buy in key states. much of the messaging will focus on the president's management o. >> donaldson: meanwhile, his tic joes wh does look li at the moment? >> reporter: well, like the rest of us is struggling to adapt. he's now holding virtual campaign rallies, but an event he held with supporters in florida last weekend was riddled

by technical difficulties. regardless, the plan is for biden to keep holding these events from a distance. they'll keep him off the road because he's an older man and it makes sense to keep distance. but there is a super pac is supporting biden that is now also spending at least $10 million on advertising in hopes of reaching voters that way. >> donaldson: and states are struggling with what to do amid voting during a pandemic. how might things look different in november? >> reporter: well, for one thing, it's expected more americans will have the option cent polls show overwhelming california has become the first to say it will mail a ballot to every single registered voters in the state with pre-paid postage. it's going to be expensive, but proponents say that's the best way to allow people to participate in our democracy and stay safe. >> donaldson: cbs news special correspondent ed o'keefe. ed, thank you. turning now to georgia, where

there is outrage over the controversial shooting of ahmaud arbery. authorities are investigating this video that possibly shows arbery moments before he was chased and killed by two white men. omar villafranca has the latest. >> reporter: atlanta mayor keisha lance bottoms did not mince her words when asked about ahmaud arbery. >> it's 2020. and this was a lynching of an african american man. >> reporter: celebrities are now calling for action as jay-z's r tlantajol constituon calorl pe appointed to ensure a fair trial. this cell phone video recorded the moment arbery was cornered and shot twice while jogging near his mother's house in brunswick, georgia. travis and gregory mcmichael were arrested thursday and on friday, charged in the february 23 confrontation. amy elrod is the fiancée of william bryan, the man who filmed the shooting.

>> i mean, it's turned our lives upside down. >> 911, what's your emergency? >> reporter: in the mcmichaels' 911 call that day, they told the operator they were chasing a burglary suspect. bail was denied for the mcmichaels, and no court date has been set. omar villafranca, cbs news, dallas. >> donaldson: this was a mother's day like no other for many americans. in the wake of the cornavirus crisis, there's been a rush to re-open in most states. but it's hardly business as usual. jonathan vigliotti is in los angeles. >> reporter: tonight, more states nationwide reopen-- nevada is one of the latest. the governor allowing non- essential stores to resume with flower shops among those back in limited business just in time for mother's day. >> this mother's day is definitely one for the record books. it feels really good to know how many people we're making feel happy. >> reporter: and others were happy to watch professional sports make a comeback. in west palm beach, florida, the

tennis channel broadcasting a e ve audience-free tournament, in tulsa, oklahoma, the park crowds are eager to watch the competition. but not all states are racing to fully open, and people continue to protest like in washington. in california, tesla c.e.o. elon musk is asking a federal judge to allow the reopening of the company's only u.s. assembly factory after county officials said it could not reopen last fridue and there is good reason for concern tonight, as some states still battle a spike in infections. nationally, nursing homes are among the hardest hit. nearly one-third of all covid-19 deaths in america have happened in long-term care facilities. >> this virus uses nursing homes. >> reporter: but even in crisis, governor cuomo briefly pausing

his sunday press conference to take a rare moment for celebration. >> happy mother's day to you, mom. i wish i could be with you, but i can't be. but i can't be because i love you. >> reporter: and as the epicenter of the nation's outbreak, new york is anticipating partial opening this month. some businesses opened for curbside pickup only. bob? >> donaldson: jonathan vigliotti, thank you. starting this week, president trump has announced the government will buy $3 billion worth of dairy, meat and produce from the america's farmers. the pandemic has disrupted supply chains across the country. 11 state attorneys general suspect foul play within the nation's meat packing industry and want a federal investigation. cattle prices have dropped for two months.

here's janet shamlian. >> reporter: auctioneer brian uptmore cattle rattle moves livestock in the rural town of west, texas. almost 2,000 calves, cows and bulls were sold here today. when ranchers bring them to sale barn, they're saying they get 30% less than in january. cory priest is a second- generation rancher who says he's never seen it this bad. >> anywhere from $150 to $450 less now than two months ago. >> reporter: that's significant. >> percentage-wise, that's huge. >> reporter: meat packers are a monopoly. four companies purchased and processed more than 80% of the nation's cattle raised for beef producs. the plants are buying fewer cattle and paying less for each due to oversupply. could that put some ranchers out of business? >> i think it probably already

has, yeah, no doubt. >> reporter: and yet consumers aren't benefiting from ranches lower profits. meat prices high, selection limited. with the system bottleneck, some are now holding the herds so they can sell for more. but with feeding costs, that's expensive, too. >> people don't want to pay. the nation's cattle, so many >> reporter: the nation's cattle, so many ready for market-- little market for them. janet shamlian, cbs news, west, texas. >> donaldson: overseas, now. today prime minister boris johnson unveiled new virus lockdown rules, including a controversial "stay alert" slogan. elizabeth palmer is in london. >> reporter: prime minister boris johnson's approach to end britain's lockdown will be measured, and careful. >> it would be madness now to throw away that achievement by allowing a second spike. we must stay alert. we must continue to control the virus and save lives.

>> reporter: that matches the caution of both governments and citizens in other european countries hit hard, like italy and spain. but here at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. not so in brazil, which is emerging as a serious epicentre. even though president jair bolsonaro's supporters still cheer him on, he's provoked outrage as a covid denier who still won't social distance. and this weekend, he went for a provocative spin on a jet ski. as the number of coronavirus deaths passed 10,000, local authorities put a covid message on rio's famous christ the redeemer statue-- "have a heart, wear a mask." in africa and southeast asia, the virus does appear to be spreading more slowly, maybe because the population tends on average to be younger, but no

one is sure, and it's quite possible that the worst is yet to come. one rule that may come into force as the u.k. emerges from its lockdown is a mandatory two- week quarantine for anyone quarant in britain. elizabeth palmer, cbs news, london. >> donaldson: as we mentioned, we're reporting from indianapolis tonight and, around here, the month of may is very special. but for the first time since world war ii, there are no festivities leading up to the greatest spectacle in racing this month. the indy 500 has been postponed until august. the speedway is quiet tonight, with only a heartfelt message on the iconic scoring pylon to those on the frontlines of the pandemic. last month, scores of police cars lined up on the historic track to pay tribute to an indianapolis police officer killed in the line of duty. it was the only place the department could maintain social distance and still honor one of their own.
