>> this pandemic is fully finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they're doing. a lot of them aren't even pretending to be in charge. doing what feels good, what's convenient, what's easy, that's how little kids think. unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups, including some with fancy titles and importjobs sti tnk tha tngs a screwed up. >> president trump who has criticized mr. obama repeatedly in recent days had this response yesterday. >> look, he was an incompetent president. that's all i can say. grossly incompetent. thank you. >> ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020. ed, why do you think the former president is saying this, at this particular time? >> well, good morning, gayle. good to see you. the former president who has largely stayed silent over the past three years never mentioned the current president by name but his criticism was evident.
7:12 am
members of the current administration also weighing in. peter navarro said sunday that mr. obama is now serving as, quote, joe biden's press secretary. mr. obama is expected to actively campaign for biden through november and is using his large social media presence to their advantage, especially with fundraising. biden himself continues to campaign from his delaware home and is planning later this week to hold a virtual rally with voters in wisconsin. his team is hiring up to 600 field staffers in about a dozen battleground states. they'll be in place by june and doing the traditional get out the vote work done in previous campaigns but mostly from a distance, or at least virtually at the start. one spokesman told me the former president is a, quote, force and will be an enormous asset for democratic candidates across the country through election day. anthony? >> all right, ed, thank you. democrats say they want to

7:14 am
news, secretary pompeo recommended the move and president trump agreed. on "face the nation" sunday, speaker nancy pelosi suggested linick's firing could be an illegal dismissal. >> but the fact is, if it looks like it's in retaliation for something that the ig, the inspector general is doing, that could be unlawful. >> reporter: republican senator susan collins tweeted, the president has not provided the kind of justification for the removal of ig linick required by this law. linick is the fifth government watchdog president trump has removed during the coronavirus pandemic. yesterday white house trade adviser peter navarro defended the move saying the president needs people who are loyal to his agenda. congressional democrats have given the white house until friday to turn over all records related to this decision. tony? >> all right, paula, thank you. we want to tell you about sad news out of canada where tragedy struck during a tribute

7:50 am
high fives, fist bumps, and hugs would be prohibited including shocker, spitting. mlb has not returned our call for comment. i beat anthony mason has a comment. >> i want them to play ball. make up whatever rules you want. there's one weird rule. they're telling infielders to back away from runnies between pitches now -- runners between pitches now? that will be strange. the no-spitting rule strange. they're going to lose about $640,000 a game with no fans. i hope they get fans back eventually. but i just want to hear them say "play ball." you got another story, vlad, about a prominent couple we know that's having trouble at home in this pandemic? >> yeah. did you know that working from home can really test relationships? well, our tony dokoupil and his wife katy tur of msnbc have been sharing their basement to broadcast from home. they came clean about what it's

8:01 am
re'wa r reawakening. >> we'll get back to the place we were in february. we'll get to an even better place than that. i'm highly confident of that. we're going to need to help each other through this, and we will. >> another big challenge is how to keep americans safe. >> this is just one example of what one community is doing to keep people aware of their proximity to each other, and you can expect to see more of this around the country. >> much of europe is slowly reopening. >> st. peters may be reopened, but you'll probably only see ie tool yans around. >> the former president never mentioned the current president by name, but his criticism was evident. >> take a look at these pictures from peru. these are street performers in the south of the country who are arrested for ignoring lockdown rules? . >> you have admire the people

who kept their masks on during the arrest. that's true commitment. >> welcome back to "cbs this morning." anthony, there is something jarring to see the characters arrested. there has to be a better way. >> i know. it seems a little severe, gayle. i agree with you. >> yeah. >> we begin this hour with this. coronavirus cases continue to rise as more states move forward with reopenings. that includes florida which enters phase one of the reopening plan today. on saturday florida saw the biggest jump in daily cases in more than three weeks. was the scene in new jersey over the weekend as people packed the boardwalk in ocean city. that state's beaches will be open for this coming memorial day weekend. federal reserve chairman jerome powell spoke to 60 minutes about the pandemic's economic toll.
8:03 am
he said unemployment could reach 25%, and a full recovery could depend on a vaccine. >> can there be a recovery without a reasonably effective vaccine? >> assuming there's not a second wave of the coronavirus, i think you'll see the economy recover steadily through the second half of this year. so for the economy to fully recover, people will have to be fully confident, and that may have to await the arrival of a vaccine. >> and on face the nation, health and human services secretary alex azar said the trump administration's fast track goal is to have 300 million doses of a vaccine ready by january. >> what we're doing is bringing the inefficiency out of the development process to make the development side fast tore get to safe and effective vaccines. we have hundreds of millions of people. 300 million is the goal whether by one or multiple vaccine
8:04 am
candidates to be able to have. >> if one vaccine per person would be sufficient? the bio tech firm moderna announced the first participants in the vaccine trial developed antibodies after one single dose. that's a promising sign from the trial done in collaboration with the national institutes of health. moderna was the first u.s. company to test the vaccine on humans back in march. it's expected to start a second round of clinical trials as soon as next month. first, on "cbs this morning," the president of moderna, joins us to discuss. doctor, thank you. it's really good to see you. you know, they have the best and workg on tt and ds in the world word is many of them work at your place. could you explain what you discovered in the first trial?
8:05 am
>> sure. gayle, thank you for having us. this morning we were pleased to announce the positive interim phase one data which showed that all subjects who received two doses of your vaccine in the first two dose levels had developed antibodies in the blood this bound to virus, and importantly, when we characterize eight of the subjects and said would it neutralize the virus, it showed that those same oibts that those people developed could neutralize the virus and prevent the ability to infect human cells. altogether, we're very pleased by that result. it suggests we're on the right path with this vaccine. >> now, you said you started with 8 participants. how many participants do you need to show we have something here? eight peoples like a small number. is that pretty normal? >> so eight was just a
8:06 am
neutralization test. actually we started with our colleagues at the nih who are running this phase one study. 45 subjects across three dose levels. there's 15 at the low dose, mid dose, and high dose. what we announced today was we have binding antibody data from the first two cohorts, each of 15 people. it's a total of 30 people already. so we're pleased to see all of those people had converted and they've sero converted to levels of antibody in the blood that are at or above the levels somebody who recovered from the virus has. so we've already exceeded what it takes at least by that measure. now, the eight you referenced before, those are folks who are going to that extra level and said can we characterize a quality of that antibody response and show it would have been protecting against human cells and all eight out of eight
8:07 am
of those did. we're pleased with the response so far. >> okay. i'm not a doctor, but that does sound encouraging. what happens now in phase two? >> so in phase two, our responsibility is to expand the safety and database and it's really a primary focus on safety. the phase one, the vaccine was generally safe and well tolerated but 45 is relatively small for numbers. we'll look across 600 people in the phase two study. it will start any day. that will be to confirm we have the right idea of the dose where we believe we'll see protective um mounty as well as that the - immunity as well as the safety profile continues to hold up. >> there seems to be so much we don't know about the virus. how do you develop an efficient vaccine when it doesn't seem like we're quite sure what we're dealing with yet? >> yeah. well, one of the great things we know is we can study what's happening to people who are recovering from the virus.
8:08 am
where are the antibodies and immune system getting ahold of the virus to essentially clear the disease? and we have learned from what's been published to date in terms of infections that generally people aren't getting reinfected. when they recover, their immune systems have been able to handle the virus. then we discover there are proteins on the surface of the virus, particularly one called the spike protein, and that spike tro teen, antibodies to it appear to be protective in many people who recover from the virus. so the approach we've taken at ma d moderna is to try to express that spike protein so the immune system can learn to recognize it and protect against the virus. now, that approach we think has a high probability of success in the vaccine context, but it still doesn't capture the complexity of the disease that we see. as we see the virus in natural
8:09 am
infection in humans, we're seeing all sorts of surprising things the virus can do. the good news is despite all that diversity of things, we believe this approach of going after the spike protein will address all the disease and hopefully prevent many of the findings. >> okay. we all want the vaccine, but we also want it safe. what's your best guess on when we'll have something on the market? what's your timeline, your thinking? >> well, we're start the phase two. phase three by early summer, a couple months away. and our goal is to have a vaccine available for broad distribution by your end, early next year. the question, of course, that's out there is as we start to build data over time, and if we and others build data that shows the vaccine has a potential for benefit, and it's safe and has a potential for effa si, there are circumstances where it could be deployed to high risk
8:10 am
populations under an emergency use authorization. really, that's a decision that regulators in particular the fda have to make. >> all right. but i'm focusing on you said year end next year. thank you. good luck. good luck. anthony? >> all right. thank you both. our dr. david agus joins us from los angeles with the bigger picture on the race to develop a vaccine. david, good morning. how promising is the news from dr. hogan at moderna? >> it's a small step. two shots and you can get antibody levels that we think may be protective. there's also the t-cell part of immunity that wasn't described. so this is a beginning of the science here. it's a necessary step. i'm glad it did this. but there's a long way to go on that particular vaccine. >> david, we heard the health and human services secretary say that the goal is to create 30 0 million doses of vaccine and have it available by the end of
8:11 am
the year. how likely is that? >> i don't think it's likely we're going to have 300 million doses by the end of the year. as a country this took two doses. we're going to need 600 million doses as a country. i think we'll have millions of doses by the end of the year. i think we'll be starting to vaccinate people who are in the medical front line individuals as well as high risk individuals and potentially if there are outbreaks in individual cities, we can start to vaccinate to stop or quell the outbreaks. i don't think we'll have enough to start with the whole country at the time. while that's ongoing, more production will go on and over the next year we'll vaccinate the rest of the country. >> have we ever manufactured a vaccine in those quantities in that kind of a tameliimeline? >> no. most vaccines are synchronous.
8:12 am
and so we're used to making a certain amount at a time. this is making obviously enough to do two shots to the whole country is something that is he row -- he heroic and hard to organize. >> they said they need multiple mac ve vaccines and a booster shot. >> in many vaccines you get an initial shot and a booster. it means in this vaccine, that moderna talks about, several weeks later aenav classical goes down to it.e system you may need to be boosted again on a yearly basis. this may be an ongoing vaccine protocol for the country, and it may be different by age. and if you're 30, you'll probably need one or two vaccines. you may need more if you're
8:13 am
elderly or very young, because their systems don't respond as well to vaccines. >> thank you, david. ahead, one of our biggest big-time sports is back. see what nascar had to do to run the first race in more than two (denise) my husband has lung cancer from smoking. today, he's being tested to see if his cancer has spread. he may be the one getting the test, but we both live with the results.

8:31 am
minutes, 15 seconds, shattering the old record by more than 20 minutes. in case you were wondering, that's seven minutes and 17 seconds a mile. bidder said the run is representative of the battle against the coronavirus. hi he hopes it will remind everyone to stay mentally strong so you can go the distance. it just reminded me of what a sloth i have been. also of note, this was live streamed -- >> wow -- >> live streamed, and thousands of people actually tuned in to watch a man on a treadmill which tells you how desperate we are for any sport at this point, gayle. >> yeah. we were cheering for zac. that's impressive. that's impressive. i'm next. my turn. mine's about a bar and a grill in ocean city, maryland. it's found a way for customers to practice social distancing while you're eating. so it uses these strange-looking tables with giant inflatable inner tubes on wheels.
8:32 am
this is the fish tails, the name of the place. the pub is considering using these tables when it's finally allowed to reopen. so so far, so good. she's says, listen, people have been trying to figure out a way to extend seating for big places, but no one's figured out a way that you can be social and walk around while social distancing. the tubes are custom made with a welded frame with an inner tube and wheels. there is a lot of trial and error, they said, to get to this point. they have figured it out. people can run around and skbrirnt act with each -- interact with each other six feet apart. the best part of all, when you get in the middle of one of these, you feel happy. listen, i think it's funny just to look at it. i can only imagine what it feels like -- sort of like a walking bumper car. we all liked bumper cars as kids. tony, i think they're on to something. >> yeah. i think they are, as wellnowcec we had our beach weeks on the shore there. and it doesn't surprise me at all that ocean city, maryland, would pioneer -- i know we said
8:33 am
something that you could eat on, but i think also they mean drink on. it has the added benefit that if you slouch over it catches you. you don't have to lean on a friend. yeah, i think they're on to something. >> i like it, too. all right. i want to give a shout out to a really great benefit concert. some big names are going to take part in a concert tonight per covenant -- for covenant house, a charity that helps homeless youth. here's some of the stars you'll see. take a look. ♪ and try to make the most of every moment cuz if you never try you never win ♪ >> whether you're 8 or ,publican e y- is large. bon jovi, stephen colbert, the list goes on and on. the entire night of covenant house stars features morgan

8:35 am
the coronavirus crisis. that's according to a recent study. now more people are turning to meditation apps like headspace to cope. with more than 66 million users, 66 million, headspace is considered a leader in mindfulness. the company is now offering -- get this -- free one-year subscriptions to all unemployed americans. co-found co-founder andy puddicombe talks about why this app is crucial to people who lost a job. good morning. before we get into the gift and the benefits for unemployed people, let's talk generally, why might meditation be particulmoment?lp at this yeah, i think -- good morning, tony. i think for a lot of time, as you say, they're feeling stressed, anxious. we know through the scientific research around mindfulness that it can really help to decrease those things in our life.
8:36 am
so i think now more than ever, kind of we need those tools. i think it's not just the physical sort of difficulties that many people are going through but also the sort of mental health challenges, as well. >> yeah. it's a wonderful program you're offering now to people who will have lost their jobs. you know, the counter perspective is if you're out of work, you're watching your bank account dwindle, you can't meditate your way back to solvency. you can't meditate your way back to full employment. how does it help a person in that particular crisis? >> i think that finally comes to the essence of meditation. look, it's not going to get you your job back. what it cano isp cope with the process. it can help you cope with the shock of losing your job. it can help cope with the anxiety of the implications of what that might mean to your life and family. itcan help rebuild confidence, sort of finding a clear sense of purpose as you go back out and look for work. it's more about how do we build
8:37 am
up our resilience to cope with what's going on in our life rather than necessarily sort of changing what's happening in our life. >> andy, there are people out there, people watching right now, they are probably trying to leave the room -- come back, this question is for you -- who think i'm not the kind of person who meditates. i'm not a meditatmeditate-type . what do you say to that individual in particular? >> i would say that as human beings we share many things, and one -- we all struggle with our mind at times. and we all need a way to cope with those struggles. meditation is a scientifically proven way of coping with those struggles. so even if you think this isn't something for you -- i say to people, if you think it's not for you, experime p to sef i makese or , try it five ms not. at the end of the ten days if it made no difference, okay, you've proven you're right. maybe you might be surprised. we often see the benefits of

meditation, though it's not a quick fix, the benefits of meditation are felt early on. and the science suggests it's less been duration and how long we sit for, it's more about frequency, showing up for a few minutes a day can make a big difference. >> well then if people want to start, what should they know about showing up to meditate that first time? what should their expectations be? how do they get started? >> yeah, so, look, i think there's three things. the first one is think of it as a little bit like physical exercise. we wouldn't just go out for one run and expect it to be done and over with. we'd sort doing it on a regular basis. same is true for training the mind. same time, same place,o think about this. try and tie it to something that you already are doing in the day. so it might be shower and meditate, breakfast and meditate. but kind of making sure that you have like a regular -- a regular cadence to it. the third thing is -- there's a
8:39 am
tip on the app, find a buddy. find a friend or family member that you can do this with, that you can support each other on this journey. it's not always easy to sit with ourselves, especially when queer feeling stressed, anxious, very upset in some way. so knowing that we've got someone else there to help us along the way is really important and helpful. >> all right. andy, co-founder of headspace, speaking of finding a buddy, andy's going to find a buddy of mine later to do a guided meditation with our own vlad duthiers. it will be on instagram life. head to the "cbs this morning" instagram page to take part. it's a great way to fin if we're all doing our part by staying at home.

8:47 am
me and said, thank you for saying very nice things about me. i don't want certain pages in the book, and i removed them instantly. there were pages about her family, her daughter's wedding, and her son, a doctor. this is a painful thing for me, but it is a love letter because it's a love letter about the joys as well as the lows of my life. the joys have been with anna wintour. i owe to her the pioneering role that i had as creative director of "vogue." i was the first black man to ever be named such. i owe that to anna wintourme. i owe her much -- sorry -- >> she did give you a lot of opportunities -- >> i think she owes me -- she gave unit shveye she >> but how does -- how does she owe you? how does she owe you? yes, i'm here. how does anna owe you? >> for having -- she owes me
