>> i have but one question. are you going to beat this guy? >> yes. yes, yes, yes. >> president trump could be heading to the cape for the historic spacex launch. >> i'm thinking about going to the rocket launch. i hope you're all going to join me. i'd like to put you on the rocket. get rid of you for a while. >> all that. >> allow me to introduce you to the newest celebrity chef. >> yeah. >> i guess i forgot to mention he's only a 1-year-old. >> and all that matters. >> researchers say nearly half the twitter accounts spreading messages about the pandemic are likely twitter bots. >> who could be tweeting out all this coronavirus misinformation that's "russian" through the internrnet. >> it's brought out their inner performance. ♪ >> that lady is pretty much my wife every day. regardless of whether or not

we're in quarantine. ♪ ♪ thank you for being my friend ♪ >> welcome to "cbs this morning." anthony, that's what true love looks like. listen, it's a holiday weekend. i got nowhere to go, but i'm so happy that we're here together. hello, fellow co-emmy nominated nominees. we got nominated for an emmy. i hope you're happy and safe and that we get to do this together. really psyched about that. >> i couldn't agree more. that lady's face is priceless. it's my face every friday, i should say, gayle. >> do you paint your nails as well, anthony? >> no, congrats. happy for that couple. that's what true love looks like. but we're going to begin with this, on this holiday weekend. it's our first big holiday weekend during the coronavirus. we begin with a major test of reopening strategies for all 50

states as we head into the memorial day holiday weekend. large crowds are expected to gather on beaches like this one on the jersey shore. visitors will be asked to maintain social distancing. don't forget that. and wear masks when possible. anthony? >> last weekend when beaches were packed raising concerns of another surge in coronavirus cases, our lead national correspondent david begnaud has more. >> reporter: we'll start in southern california where beach lovers are mindful about their safety this holiday weekend. >> memorial day weekend is going to be crazy. >> too many people will be coming out. >> reporter: in michigan, the director of public safety steve newbecker says police will be monitoring crowds on beaches there as well. >> we'll be attempting to look at social distancing, making sure people are remaining their distance from people. >> reporter: in san francisco, city officials have painted social distancing circles at the famous delores park to keep people separated. amid the possibility of growing

summer crowds, there's a new model from policylab at children's hospital of philadelphia that has health officials concerned about a potential second wave. >> what we're seeing is that some areas of the south may have overreached a bit. >> reporter: this is what policylab's director david ruben is predicting. in places like dallas, texas, palm beach, florida, and montgomery, alabama, cases are expected to spike because the counties there may have reopened too early. the mayor of montgomery, alabama, steven reed, says the four hospitals in his region are already at a critical point. >> are the icus packed with coronavirus patients? >> they are. now they're diverting patients to birmingham, which is 90 miles north of montgomery. >> reporter: in just the last two weeks, the number of positive coronavirus cases in montgomery county have more than doubled. people are strongly encouraged to wear masks but there is no state order requiring it. >> i think we've reopened our economy too soon.

and i think that people did not adhere to some of the social distancing guidelines. >> reporter: even so, alabama's governor kay ivey announced entertainment venues, child care facilities and even summer camps will open this weekend. >> we cannot sustain a delayed way of life as we search for a vaccine. >> reporter: so as alabama's governor continues to ease restrictions, just northeast of there in the city of atlanta, the mayor announced last night her plan to reopen but said right now as of the data she has and the science she's being given, she wants feem stay at home. this morning we're in the famous central park. people already out and about. it will be a nice weekend. the latest information from the cdc is that the virus is not easily spread through touching surfaces or water in pools or hot tubs. it's primarily done person to person. thatat's why the scientists say the masks matter and so does social distancing. that's what the experts say. have a great weekend. tony, back to you. >> all right, david. have a great weekend yourself.

let's talk about that holiday weekend travel. or rather the lack of it. aaa is not issuing a travel forecast for the memorial day weekend. they say they just don't have the economic data to make a prediction. and the cdc is warning, remember, travel can increase a chance of getting infected or spreading the virus. but nevertheless, some people are still taking the risk and going out. kris van cleave has more. >> reporter: the great or perhaps not so great memorial day getaway has started. airlines report a bump in bookings, but americans still expects to be down about 80% from last year. >> if it had been a month or two months ago, i wouldn't have done anything. >> reporter: after being home since march 19th, thomas bowman is flying from chicago to ft. lauderdale to see friends. >> at some point we have to go back to life, however defined, and i thought this was a reasonable step. they have been isolated. i've been isolated. >> reporter: but a recent harris

poll found 95% of americans say because of the coronavirus, memorial day is too soon to take a trip. with the annual rolling to remember motorcycle ride honoring veterans in d.c. was canceled, carol decided to stay home in michigan. >> we're really looking forward to taking and riding it there but because of everything that's going on, we can't. >> reporter: for the first time in 20 years, aaa did not offer a memorial day travel forecast but expects fewer people to hit the road than the record low of 31 million back in 2009. still, health officials worry about scenes like these. crowds on a jersey shore boardwalk and this raucous street party in florida last weekend. the florida highway patrol will be fully staffed this memorial day holiday watching for drunk or distracted drivers and, of course, for speeders. >> the covid-19 restrictions are being lifted in florida. therefore, we are expecting more motorists to come out of the house. so we're ready for, if it's a

traditional style weekend with a lot of motorists on the road, and we're ready if it's maybe a little more calm. >> reporter: chesapeake bay bridge behind us is the gateway to maryland's now reopened bridges. in a typical year you'd see traffic build throughout the year. aaa says if you are going to travel for memorial day weekend, do your homework. know what's open and know about whatever state rules are still in effect. for example, neighboring delaware still requires visitors to self-quarantine for 14 days. gayle? >> kris, thank you. cbs news confirmed the cdc will release guidelines later today on reopening churches which president trump describes as essential. the president visited his third battleground state yesterday touring a ford plant in michigan. he was told to wear a mask and carried one. but he refused to wear it in front of the tv cameras. ben tracy reports from the white house on that. >> here's my mask right here.

and i liked it very much. i actually, honestly, i think i look better in the mask. >> reporter: president trump held a navy blue mask in his hand and explained his reason for not keeping it on. >> i did wear it. i had one on before. i wore one in this back area. but i didn't want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it. >> reporter: the president was seen in this photo briefly wearing the mask. ford sources tell cbs news that chairman bill ford expected president trump to wear it the entire time for the strict policy of the plant and was surprised when he took it off. the state's governor gretchen whitmer called the president's decision not to wear a mask during the tour disappointing. >> this is really important that anyone with a platform has a responsibility to make sure that they model precisely what we're asking everyone else to do. this is about public health, not one person's or another. >> reporter: the president has clashed with whitmer and his visit came just a day after he threatened to withhold federal funding from the state.

upset by michigan's plans to expand vote by mail for upcoming elections. president trump claims without any evidence that mail-in voting leads to widespread election fraud. with a second wave of coronavirus expected to hit this fall or winter, states are trying to plan for elections while also keeping people safe. but president trump says if there's a second wave, he won't shut the country down again. >> we're going to put out the fires. there could be -- whether it's an ember or a flame, we're going to put it out, but we're not closing our country. >> reporter: now michigan's attorney general had warned president trump that it was state law that he wear a mask inside that plant. president trump fired back on twitter overnight calling her a wacky do-nothing ag saying she should be careful or ford may leave michigan. meanwhile, flags here at the white house and at all federal buildings across the country are flying at half staff in honor of those who have lost their lives to coronavirus. anthony? >> ben, thank you. we're getting a new warning

about a rare inflammatory syndrome tied to the coronavirus in children. more than 330 cases have been reported, and at least four children have died. and now doctors say it could also affect young adults. cbs news senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula joins us. good morning. to begin with, what are doctors learning about this new development? >> well, anthony, by and large, we are still calling this syndrome a disease or syndrome that affects children and teenagers. the case definition by the cdc requires that an individual be less than the age of 21. now that's not to say that we may not see sporadic cases or emerging cases in individuals over 21. that's really a cut-off that's a little bit arbitrary in the sense that we know our biology and physiology doesn't change much between 21, 22 and 23 and 24. as we see some of these other

cases emerging in an older population, the case definition may change. i think it just fits with what we're seeing with this virus is that we're learning more and more each day. and really what this does is adult cardiologists like myself and internists to be aware if they see somebody with some of these symptoms and signs to be on high alert. you may want to refer them and you may want to alert your health department. >> remind folks what the symptoms are, tara. >> so primary symptoms will be fever, moderate or high fever that lasts for several days. abdominal symptoms in children. nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. a rash, blood-shot eyes and then worsening symptoms may be chest pain or shortness of breath or lethargy or confusion. all of those should prompt parents to pick up the phone, call their pediatrician and potentially take them to an emergency room if necessary. ideally one that has a pediatric intensive care unit. >> all right, tara. dr. tara narula, thank you very much.

tony? >> anthony, thank you. hong kong is in turmoil over china's newly proposed national security law following last year's widespread anti-government demonstrations. scuffles broke out inside hong kong's legislature overnight when pro-democracy members protested the bill. ramy inocencio reports on the newest effort to tighten its grip on the territory and crack down on critics. >> reporter: communist leaders convened in beijing for china's annual congress and immediately zeroed in on their target. hong kong. we will stop violence and restore order, chairman wang announced. scenes like this that china plans to subvert. anti-government protests led by what they describe as terrorists and a threat to national security. the communist party has now revealed a controversial plan to bring hong kong to heel, banning treason, secession, subversion.

the announcement comes at protesters readied for another summer of discontent. on mother's day, riot police chased pro-democracy flash mobs calling for hong kong's unpopular chief executive carrie lam to resign. last month, police arrested 15 of the city's top pro-democracy icons from politicians to lawyers and activists. >> technically, there's just nothing we can do to challenge it because it's your mother's order. >> reporter: washington is now condemning beijing's plan as a crackdown on hong kong. the u.s. senate is introducing a bill, a bipartisan one that would sanction any chinese official who would enforce those new national security laws. >> we have breaking news from pakistan where an airliner has crashed in a residential area of one of the world's largest cities. the pakistan international airlines plane went down near karachi's airport this morning with 99 passengers and 8 crew

members aboard. local reports say the crash destroyed several homes. there's no word on the number of casualties. a third person is under arrest in connection with the death of ahmaud arbery. william bryan jr. who recorded video of arbery being chased, shot and killed in a georgia neighborhood back in february is now charged with murder and criminal attempt to commit false imprisonment. a father and son are already charged with murder. omar villafranca has been following this story for us. >> he tried to block my son off on so many occasions while trying to get away. >> reporter: ahmaud arbery's father marcus and his attorney ben crump say they're encouraged by the arrest of william roddie bryan, the man who recorded the cell phone video of arbery's death. >> you can look at the video for yourself and see that the evidence fits the crimes that he has been charged with.

>> reporter: kevin goff is the attorney for bryan. he has not spoken to the media since his client's arrest but held a press conference earlier this week. >> mr. bryan has committed no crime and bears no criminal responsibility in the death of ahmaud arbery. >> reporter: travis and gregory mcmike alwere arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault in the february 23rd confrontation. they both claim self-defense. according to the police department, on the day of the shooting, arbery was spotted walking around an open construction site and the mcmichaels pursued him in a pickup truck. bryan's attorney says when they passed his home, bryan got in his own vehicle and followed in an effort to check out the commotion. >> he was unarmed at the time of the shooting, and he was not in communication with gregory or travis mcmichael or anyone else during that time frame. >> reporter: but according to the police report, gregory mcmichael told police roddie attempted to block him, which

was unsuccessful. >> it is very clear to ahmaud's family that he was always part of this lynch mob that executed their child in broad daylight. >> i'd be lying if i said i wasn't scared. >> reporter: earlier this month in an interview with our jacksonville, florida, aflts wjax, bryan maintained his innocence. >> truthfully need to be cleared of this because i had nothing to do with it. >> reporter: the georgia bureau of investigation will hold a press conference later on this morning to talk about bryan's charges. travis and gregory mcmichael are still in the glynn county jail without bond. anthony? >> all right, omar. thank you. ahead -- more people are getting antibody tests to find out if they have had the coronavirus. our jericka duncan and michelle miller show us how the test brought them peace of

the counter. we were there last memorial day weekend. it's a wonderful place. what do you have there? how are they keeping people safe? >> it's so wonderful. the stone pony is just that way. i drove by it coming in. great place. great beach. and beaches like this one up and down the jersey coast are getting ready to open up for the long memorial day weekend. but with the rise of coronavirus cases, there are some who are still very worried that this is all happening too fast and too soon. many beachfronts across the country will be open for leisure. as restless americans emerge from their quarantine. >> the boardwalk has been very crowded. the beach you can spread out more. after 60-something days indoors, it's nice to soak up the sun back on the beach. >> reporter: in california, many beaches have already reopened. and pictures like these appear to show some beachgoers bending social distancing guidelines. new york will cap beach capacity at 50%. and local governments will require and enforce mask use

when social distancing is not possible. every coastal state aside from massachusetts, rhode island and new hampshire will have at least some of their shores open to residents by today. new jersey schoolteacher kelly mcevoy is picking up her summer beach tags but remains skeptical on how social distancing will be. >> it does make me a little nervous. >> reporter: in one southern new jersey county, volunteers called social distance ambassadors will patrol high traffic areas to remind people to stay six feet apart. >> it's becoming safer for us to dip our toes back into the water, in this case, literally. >> reporter: new jersey governor phil murphy says encouraging covid numbers are driving his decision to reopen, but the economic numbers are anything but. one report says the state's shore touris generated more than $7 billion in 2018. but more than 1 million people in new jersey have filed for unemployment since the pandemic began. in april, the state saw a loss

of more than 236,000 jobs in the leisure and hospitality sector. >> we really don't know what to expect right now. >> reporter: asbury park safety inspector bongiovanni has been working this coast for 50 years. >> most of the beaches are limiting their capacity. we're in the same boat to follow our social distancing rules. we'll just have to play it by ear. >> we've seen images from other states of these crowds at beaches. that must be a nightmare scenario for you. >> well, that's why we're going to try to limit things. we're not going to allow that to happen here. >> when you say limit them, what does that mean? police will get involved and break up crowds? >> no, we're going to have what we call social monitoring -- people walking around to remind people that they should be separated. we're not going to kick them off the beach or have them arrested or anything like that. just strongly advise them against it. >> reporter: ironically, some of the people most at risk might be the ones who sit in these lifeguard chairs. you can see they're in the

process of switching to double chair to the single chair because some of the protocol are only one lifeguard in a chair at a time. must wear a mask. and in the event of a rescue thairks allow, they're allowed to do the chest compressions but not mouth-to-mouth compression. there are emts nearby that can respond quickly in the case of that need. >> whatever it takes to stay safe. thank you, don. ahead -- many people are pushing to get those antibody tests despite concerns over their reliability. jericka duncan and michelle miller show us why getting the test was so important for both of them. we'll be right back. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you. and ask your doctor about biktarvy. biktarvy is a complete, one-pill, once-a-day treatment used for h-i-v in certain adults. it's not a cure, but with one small pill, biktarvy fights h-i-v to help you get to

the cdc says it's open to using those antibody tests to get americans back to work if the results can prove that employees are immune to the coronavirus right now. antibody tests only determine if you've had the virus, but in a time when so much is unknown, the tests have given closure to some who were previously sick who didn't have answers. that includes our own jericka duncan and michelle miller. >> i knew i wasn't feeling like myself. so with everything that was going on, i thought this probably is a good time, i'm early enough in this pandemic to possibly get a test at the emergency room, the staff told me they had a short supply, and that was after waiting for almost four hours for them to tell me to go home and act as though i had coronavirus.

>> i woke up with a splitting headache, a back ache, and just this incredible fatigue. and it took three days for me to try to get a test. i couldn't get one either. >> reporter: like many americans, neither myself nor michelle could get tested for covid-19 back in march. we were told we didn't meet the cdc guidelines, or there were simply not enough tests to go around. to date, roughly 12.5 million coronavirus tests have been performed in the u.s. according to the covid tracking project. at most, that's enough for about 4% of the population. >> you tested positive -- >> reporter: weeks after falling ill, both michelle and i turned to a telehealth company to help us get antibody tests. >> your body produced antibodies to fight the virus off. >> reporter: because at the time in april, those tests were hard for us to find. >> i called five of my doctors. none of them had the test.

i went to three places that did have the test, i could not get the test from them. to be quite frank, we were able to get a test because, you know -- >> we were advocates for our own health. this week the cdc addressed antibody testing in the president's plan to reopen america. it says those tests may play a role in a back-to-work strategy if they can be reliably linked to immunity. it also emphasizes there are many unknowns about the testing. those unknowns have researchers at the university of minnesota recommending against using antibody tests in a work force setting for now. authors of the report out wednesday expressed concern about accuracy and if a positive test actually means you're immune from the virus. while it's unclear if antibodies confirm immunity and if they do how long it could last, experts say the results can bring peace of mind. >> please do draw some

reassurance, reduce anxiety, gain knowledge and understanding from these test results. but don't trust them 100% to suggest that you're off the hook in terms of protecting yourself or protecting others. >> all bandaged up, took less than two minutes. >> i just wanted an answer, and i do have to say -- i do feel better knowing that i have tested positive for the antibodies. >> having it and surviving it, i just feel somewhat empowered, although i still social distance, and i still wear masks and wear gloves when i go outside. i feel better knowing i had it. >> private labs like quest and labcorp have been pushing to get more of the antibody testing out there. those two labs combined have done more than 1.5 million tests, antibody tests. and really this is about connecting, too, with the very

people that we are talking about, talking to. there has been no other time that i've ever felt so connected when we say that we are all in this together. >> it's so true, jericka. i have to say i envy you and michelle. i took the antibody test. i was negative which means i've had no exposure and haven't had it. and i was so disappointed because i, too, was feeling something, and i thought maybe i've already had it and survived it. i'm happy that you guys got the results that you wanted. i'm a little jealous, too, but glad you all are okay. ahead, vlad duthiers takes a look at the stories that you'll be talking about later

table, marian, my fiancee, does them all the time. happy friday, everybody. good to see you. here's a couple of things we think you'll be talking about today. actress lori loughlin and her husband are due to plead guilty this morning to conspiracy charges in a college admissions scandal. this is after they fought those charges for more than a year. loughlin and fashion designer mossimo giannulli are accused of paying half a million dollars to get their daughters into the university of southern california, pretending they were recruits for the rowing team. the plea deal calls for loughlin to serve two months in prison and pay a $150,000 fine. giannulli will serve five months and pay $250,000. they might avoid time behind bars because correctional facilities have been releasing low-risk offenders during the pandemic, gayle. >> this was such a shock-a-roo yesterday when it broke as we wrapped up on the east coast. they had been so adamant for over a year about their innocence. i know there's a back story there. i'm guessing there's a back story, and i can't wait to hear it. what else have you got? how this pandemic is changing

things, facebook? something about them? >> exactly. facebook says it will allow about half of its employees to work from home permanently, signaling how the pandemic is fundamentally changing the way we work. here's ceo mark zuckerberg. >> we've already told people that through 2020 they can choose to work from home, if they can do the job there productively. i think it's possible over the next five to ten years about 50% of our people could be working remotely, would be my guess. >> i may be old school, but i miss all of you. i miss my colleagues, getting coffee, getting hugs. i would be one of those guys who retires and has to go to an office every day. >> yeah. me, too. you know, zuckerberg says the 50% figure is not a goal, it's just a prediction. a lot of people are thinking i'm going to live somewhere beautiful and cheap. but in that article in the "washington post," it mentions that facebook may downwardly adjust salaries if you live in a

lower cost-of-living area. they may pay you like a fly speck. i would ask questions before making permanent residency decisions. i'm with you, miss you, want high fives and hugs. what else? >> a virginia high school is putting a new spin on drive-through graduations we've been seeing this spring. check this out -- seniors at buckingham county high school have their pictures on banners. and next friday, graduates are encouraged to load their families in the car, wear their caps and gowns, and celebrate their milestone with the community. school principal patty branch and superintendent daisy hicks tells me they want the stops feel special in this uncertain time. >> i think the whole point of this is if anything positive that has come out of this it is bringing family and community back together. it's allowing us to slow down and appreciate the smaller things in life that has a great impact. and just -- just hopefully what they'll take is that we care

about them so much, and we're so proud of all of them. >> anthony, you know how we've talked about using humor to cope with dramatic times? check out the t-shirts the kids came up with, it says senior 2020, toilet paper, tossing masks. we shut 2002 too down literally. -- 2020 down literally. >> i love that. it was a local tree service that volunteered to put up the banners, and the kids get to keep them. a great souvenir. ahead, billionaire investor robert smith tells us how he's trying to help small business. stay with us. it's best we stay apart for a bit, but you're not alone. we're automatically refunding our customers a portion of their personal auto premiums. learn more at libertymutual.com/covid-19.

good morning. it is 7:56 a.m. happy friday. you can see the bay bridge and the live shot. a little backed up. we had a trouble spot on the upper deck near treasure island. it is cleared. there was a vehicle fire. all lanes are open. things are looking better. traffic is still cycling through. a bit slow heading through there. expecting slight delays out of the east bay into san francisco. a broken down vehicle near the maze. that may be slowing traffic down a little bit. and a crash westbound 80 on the fifth street offramp as you come off the bay bridge. it looks like it is not blocking any lanes. a little slow at the

incline of the bay bridge. the san mateo bridge, a few cars on the roadway. it looks like a 16 minute drive between 880 and 101. overall, pretty quiet when you get on 101. traffic clear in both directions. out of the south way as well as the peninsula. here is mary. we are looking at plenty of sunshine for today. seasonal with daytime highs. looking at a date in the 50s this morning with a beautiful live look at the treasure island camera. let's show you the wind. a breezy start. especially along the coast and around the bay. a westerly wind at sfo at 23 miles an hour. we will continue to see breezy conditions around the coast and around the bay this afternoon. 66, san francisco for the high. 75, san jose. 70, oakland. and there we go with temperatures on the rise. we are heating up as we look to the holiday weekend. warmer saturday and sunday and especially by monday.

it's friday, may 22nd, 2020. we made it. welcome back to "cbs this morning." holiday crowds will answer your questions about staying safe as people venture out to enjoy this memorial holiday weekend. black and latino owned businesses are hard hit by this pandemic. robert smith will tell us how washington can end the logged jam on more aid. and pandemic makeovers. the science behind people changing their appearance under these challenging conditions. some interesting looks

there, anthony. first, here's today's eye opener at 8:00. the major test of reopening strategies for all 50 states as we head into the memorial day holiday weekend. >> you should know the latest information from the cdc is the virus is not easily spread through touching surfaces. it's primarily person to person. that's why the experts say the masks matter and social distancing. >> cdc is warning the travel can increase the chance of getting the virus. some people are still taking the risk. >> aaa says if you're going to travel for memorial day weekend, do your homework. >> honestly? i think i look better in the mask. >> the attorney general warned president trump that it was state law that he wear a mask inside that plant. president trump fired back on twitter overnight calling her a whacky do nothing ag. >> one of the things that has kept me grounded is focusing on all the beauty in the natural

world. >> that is the best video i've seen since i saw that video of a shoe eating a potato chip. >> i think we're getting really bored at home that a broken chew eating chips is amusing. it's come to that. it's come to that. >> yeah. welcome back to "cbs this mornin morning". >> the chips taste better in your mouth, not your shoe. that's one way to do it, i suppose. >> yes. >> i'll be eating a lot of chips this weekend. it is, of course, the start of the memorial day weekend. the unofficial start of the holiday weekend. and president trump says flags should be flown at half staff to honor coronavirus victims. it will serve as a major test of social distancing. many states like california and

new york are open but with restrictions in effect. >> meanwhile today sources say the cdc is expected to release guidelines for the safe reopening of houses of worship. those recommendations were excluded from 60 pages of guidelines released last weekend. during his visit to michigan yesterday, president trump once again chose not to wear a mask before tv cameras. he wore one for part of a visit to a ford plant, but then removed it. he says ford executives told him it was his choice, but sources at ford tell "cbs this morning" from trump was asked to wear one and officials were surprised when he took it off. >> the senate adjourned for the recess without passing a resolution to extend ppp. it's faced significant backlash

as many businesses have been unable to get the loans. so yesterday you may recall we showed you how minority owned businesses in particular are struggling to get federal assistance. billionaire investor robert smith is working with lawmakers in washington to change that. he's trying to find a solution. he's the ceo and founder of vista equity partners and joins us from denver. mr. smith, always good to see you. i want to start with the piece from yesterday. the thing that stuck out to me was the importance of relationships. relationships, relationships, relationships. why is that so important and why is it so difficult, it seems, for minority businesses to establish the important relationships with banking? >> the number of the large banks have moved their branches from the neighborhoods, and there's a statistic around 70% of african american neighborhoods don't have a branch bank. the businesses, 94% of them or

so are small sole proprietorship. they don't have the banking relationships. it's important that they think about creating relationships with the what i call the capillary bankings. it's what we've been working with with secretary mnuchin and others to build out infrastructure to process the ppp loans effectively. we've been pretty effective in that action over the last few weeks. >> what is unique about minority businesses that may be different from others? >> well, the vast majority of them, again, 94 % have under 5 employees. when you think about the value of the ppp loan, it's typically under 50$,000 or so is what they need to frankly repair their businesses during this time of shutdown. and unfortunately, the way that

the arrangement is built, there is an economic incentive for large banks to prioritize their loans. and so we've been focussed on driving the capacity for these smaller banks and capillary banks to process the loans effectively and profitably. there's about a 5% they would get on a five and it costs more money to process the loans than they get in fees from the government and processing the loan. that's one of the issues we've been challenged with. >> yeah. you hit on it a little bit. but i want to make sure people understand. because i've heard from minority businesses, look, i only need $23,000, 40$,000, and yet, they're giving huge sums of money to already-established businesses. i think people are having a hard time with that disconnect. why do they get it and i don't when i don't need as much? >> right. and unfortunately, it's basic economics. the larger loans even though they get a smaller fee, it's a quantum of dollars to the banks. it incentivizes them to

prioritize the bigger loans. some of the work we found with our cdfi, it takes about 7 1/2 hours without technology to really process the loans effectively. and that costs them about $1500 to process the loans and they only get 5% on a $25,000 only. they only receive $1250. they're losing money on every loan. we're engaging with everybody from ivanka trump to senator schumer to think about how can we change that, either the amount or the efficiency of the processing to incentivize the banks to process the smaller loans which are essential for our communities. >> so if -- i hear people say is there any money left even? that's one question. and if you've applied for a loan and been rejected, should you keep trying? where should you go? >> so first answer is there is money left. our estimate, look at the sba, probably somewhere north of $70

billion left from what we can tell from two days ago. and many of our small to medium businesses and rural businesses are getting rejected or heard nothing from the larger banks that they had either had relationships with or that they went prepared their loans with. going to the cdfi is an effective way to actually get the loans processed. we've been very effective in getting folks who were turned down or didn't hear anything processed. i would recommend people go to nationalbankers.org or ourshareshare.com and go through the application process that's there. of course there's the papals and the squares, et cetera, also able to process if you have a relationship with those companies but i think it's important to think about the capillary banking systems, the banking systems as an effective way for small to medium businesses, specifically minority and rural businesses to get access to the ppp capital. >> all right. robert smith, a year ago this

week you surprised everybody at morehouse college and said i'm going to pay off your loans. it shocked everybody. your favorite memory of the day that day? >> i think the favorite memory is my mother looked at me and said well done, son, that was my favorite memory of the day. >> well done, son, indeed. i echo your mom. thank you very much, robert smith. for more on where minority business owners can go to get help, head to our facebook page. we'll have all the details for you there. still ahead, our doctor answers your questions about how to stay safe this summer, including w

guess what the show is heading to cbs. he said in a statement he could not be more excited and more proud to be partnering with cbs to be able to bring some good news to so many more people. from the first episode, he says our goal was to create a news show dedicated entirely to good news. never did i expect to be joining the ranks of such historic news organization as cbs. we are glad to have you john krasinski. more details to come but we're so happy he's going to be part of the viacom cbs news family and contributing to cbs news. i think he launched this as a goof. i don't know if he was intending one and done but he was trying to give us all a break. it's turned into a hit. so the youtube channel has collected 2.5, 56 million subscribers and episodes ranging up to 17 million views. so we can say we work with john

krasinski. i like the sound of that. >> i like it. i'll go ahead and volunteer to give him a tour of the broadcast center on 57th street once that place reopens. i love the show. >> he's been to our table. >> no, you weren't there for that one but you'll be here for the next one when he comes. >> very cool. i'll take him on the tour. he's not seen the former dairy farm deep down in the basement we have. there's a lot of history in that building. it's a historic organization. i'm talking about a cbs product as well. this is turning into the viacom cbs segment. but this is a consequence. we pick our own segments. there's this great series. star trek picard and i talked with it's star, sir patrick

might think that he was born on the manor, not so at all and we go into all of that and the wig stuff is really interesting too. he kept all the wigs over the years. his wife says she has a huge closet full of them. she's going to throw them out on the stoop one day. i look forward to that. you can watch the rest of the interview with sir patrick stewart on cbs sunday morning coming up this weekend. he almost did sean luke picard in a wig but they decided to baldly go where no man has gone before. >> nice. >> i'm glad they did. >> he's a very funny guy. i loved it when he was on the set. really loved having him. the newest social media star can't even talk. take a look. ♪ >> that is 1-year-old chef

>> all right. every friday as you guys know, we are taking time to answer your most pressing questions about the coronavirus and memorial day weekend and marks the official start of summer which means many beaches are opening to some extent and as the weather warms up more people are also visiting parks. cbs news chief medical correspondent joins us to answer your questions about how to stay safe this summer. john, good morning. one viewer question that stood out to me involved pools and chlorine. a lot of us will be looking for public pools to stay cool in the summertime. is the chlorine something that will kill the virus or should we be concerned. >> hey, tony, i actually called the cdc about this and spoke to a physician there about this. he said yes the chlorine does kill the virus but the issue isn't the chlorine it's everybody else. you're in that environment. who are you next to? are you going to a local bar there and getting a drink and

sitting next to somebody. so if you're in the pool alone, best case scenario and it's chlorinated, it's fine. there's a tiny chance that if somebody is next to you and you turn and exhale and inhales there could be some spread but the risk is who are you with there? people in the parking lot when you go in and out of the building. >> so there's a question about people. they prohibit gatherings of 10 or more. is it worth the risk to gather in groups of 2 to 10? >> i love this question because i get it all the time now as a physician. how do you think about risk. the safest thing is you stay home but you want to go outside. don't forget the cdc says you still do everything they tell you. the face mask.

you're with everybody they have been in contact with for 14 days. so theoretically somebody you're with could feel fine but a week ago they got infected. they don't know it yet because it's incubating. no symptoms. it hasn't popped up yet and then when they're with you they suddenly become infectious. remember you can be asymptomatic, no symptoms before you get symptoms or you may never get symptomatic. that person that you're with is not only potentially infecting you but anybody they were in contact with. so if they were in contact with ten people you're now possibly infected by anybody who they came in contact with. if there's ten times ten that's 100 people that you potentially were exposed to in terms of virus. the second thing is where are you? so are you in a state which has a lot of cases, a few cases?

you can go online. this is a great thing for everybody to know. google the name of your state and coronavirus or covid-19 and you can see the county that you are and see the number of cases and the last thing is who are you? are you vulnerable? or somebody you're with, are they vulnerable? we all know about those groups we have gone over it a million times. they're older. they have an underlying problem, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity so these all help you calculate risk. one viewer said is there a way to safely go on summer vacation? >> again, every time you leave there's some risk. but it's the same stuff in terms of what we just talked about. if you go to a motel, what's the potential for viruss to be on surfaces there. who is in the motel?

what state are you in? i know that people want to get out there and that's fine to do it carefully if you're in a place where the relative risk is low. it's never going to be risk free. >> it's all personal choice and it goes back to personal tolerances for risk so people are going to be making their calculations. thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> ahead from beards to buz cuts how many americans are using their time stuck at home to make big cha

>> or your husband chopping off your hair. >> or you getting yourself a diy tattoo, there's a lot of good natured laugh. >> i gave myself a bald spot. >> who knew you could get a bowl cut from an actual bowl and who knew changing your hair color is the change your heart always desired. >> are you brave enough to raise your hat. >> they're everywhere. hat? >> quarantine makeovers are everywhere, even amongst the rich and famous. >> consider there quarantine week four. >> including nfl hall of famer brett favre. >> next week i may go with a pink. >> comedian and actor jim carrey is growing his beard on twitter so we can all marvel at his meaningless transformation. his words, not mine. >> oh, no, that looks terrible. >> or when the internet went nuts as singer gwen stafani gave blake shelton a "tiger king" themed mullet. that's our associate producer michael sugerman buzzing away. he says it was less a makeover

than a latent you're yost. for gabrielle garcia, shaving and losing beautiful red curls had a much deeper meaning. when you looked at yourself in the mirror, describe that moment. >> i wanted to cry, but i was so happy that i couldn't. in this time of being so cooped up, the way that i want to deal with that is to empower myself and to enlighten myself through cutting my hair, through shedding all of that. >> do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside their head? >> we wondered, too. we asked cbs news mental health contributor dr. sue varma. >> i think it's very common for people when they're going through extreme stress to want to define themselves, to commemorate a change or a loss. just imagine all the stress and lack of control and lack of certainty that we're experiencing. and changing your appearance is one way to say i'm in charge, this is my narrative. it could be sometimes celebrating our freedom.

>> i will say i'm quite attached to my hair. and i would shave it off, though, out of curiosity. but it would fail the test of harming others because i've done it before, and i've seen what's underneath. and it is a mess. there are dents and scrapes and weird markings. ooh, it's a mess. so i'm keeping it on. >> if i could grow hair, i would. i'm attach to your hair, too, tony dokoupil. >> it is fun to think about the what ifs. it is fun. that was a great piece. thank you. we'll be right back.

that's a deejay and his own club quarantine in chicago. the kindergartener has been watching dj d-nice on line. his dance parties with his mom and twin brother phoenix, and his impressive skills have even caught the real d-nice's attention. he reposted this video on his instagram page. you will not be surprised to hear that cairo's mother told "cbs this morning" that cairo wants to be a deejay when he grows up. when he can grow that facial hair, i'm sure he'll be ready to spin the records. he can do it. >> he has got the moves down right to the drinking of the glass. i love that. something tells me you're right. he's going to be a deejay. d-nice is a good example. speaking of good examples, before we go, i have to say something about joe long. we all know him. producer extraordinaire here at "cbs this morning." this is a good news/bad news because he's leaving us. he's staying in the family. he's going to go with quibi. quibi's 60 in 60 project.

joe long is one of the most nicest, talented, creative producers i've ever worked with. anthony, you know it, too. >> big loss for us, but great we're all doing our part by staying at home. that could mean an increase in energy bills. you can save by using a fan to cool off... unplugging and turning off devices when not in use... or closing your shades during the day. stay well and keep it golden.
