for police reform, republicans and democrats remain divided on the best way to enact change. in 2017 the trump administration under then-attorney general jeff sessions drastically changed a program designed to bring more transparency to troubled police departments. cbs news senior investigative correspondent catherine herridge shows how the changes left some communities feeling abandoned. good morning. >> reporter: well, this morning. the obama administration launched the program to help bring together local communities and their police departments on a voluntary basis. to tackle issues like use of force and racial bias. when the justice department overhauled the program three years ago, it left one town fighting for data and prompted a lawsuit.

local leadership. >> reporter: but in 2017, then-attorney general jeff sessions overhauled the program, ending the assessment process and the release of public reports. a department of justice spokesperson says, "the program modifications were made to ensure that resources go to agencies that require assistance rather than expensive, wide-ranging investigative assessmen assessments." cbs news found at least 13 jurisdictions were impacted by the changes, including north charleston. >> this administration basically undid the program and left these jurisdictions in a lurch. >> reporter: that year north charleston residents called on the justice department to be transparent. >> release that report now, not yesterday, now. >> reporter: the state's republican senator, tim scott, also urged officials to "release any final or near-final findings and recommendations." but that never happened. >> it was really a punch in the gut to the community. >> reporter: monique dixon is the deputy director of policy at the naacp legal defense fund.

monitor over to this monitor and tell you about some of the stories we are watching today. the search for "glee" actress naya rivera will resume this morning. 393-year-old vanished last wednesday while boating with her son on lake piru north of los angeles. investigators went said he told them she went swimming but never made it back on the boat. sonar equipment is been used. they say the recovery operation could take days and are warning people who are looking for her on their own to stay away from the lake. that includes, anthony, some of her former "glee" co-stars. >> apparently it's very inhospitable terrain around the lake. it's hard to see in that water, as well, i gather. it's interesting they're discouraging people, but i guess it's -- it's very tricky. what else have you got? >> all right. on to this now -- more than five dozen marines have tested positive for covid-19 at two bases in japan. officials on okinawa reported a total of 62 cases yesterday.
7:48 am
a top japanese official confirms japan and the u.s. are sharing information about the infected marines. the exact figures were released only after okinawa made repeated requests of the u.s. military. at least two bases are on lockdown. the marine corps is restricting all off-base activity across okinawa except for essential needs. and tony, secluding the bases, okinawa's infections stand at 148 with seven deaths. the population there is about 1.4 million. this base has been a source of tension for okinawans for decades. i did some reporting about the tensions from the islands a few years ago. and no doubt these developments will just add to that. >> yeah. those are great points. we should remind people this is significant from a security point of view. we've got 50,000 troops in japan, and about half are there on that base in okinawa. as you mentioned, when the surrounding island has 150 cases, thereabouts overall, and you've got 60 on the base, that's a significant number. something you can understand why local people would be concerned.

8:03 am
april. >> i remember that. as of friday, 41 states have seen daily cases increase over the previous two weeks. that includes texas where a record number of coronavirus patients are now in the hospital. omar is in dallas for us. omar, good morning. how bad are things getting there? >> good morning. to give you an idea, the state health department says 16% of all the coronavirus tests are coming back positive. and that is the highest rate the state has ever seen. let's look back at some of the rise in the cases. now, on june 3rd, the state entered phase three of reopening. since then, total cases have surged nearly 270%. texas set a new record high for hospitalizations every day for the past two weeks. icu beds at the texas medical center are above normal capacity, and regular beds are being converted to handle patients. listen to this. this is the chief medical
8:04 am
officer at a san antonio hospital describing how one person got sick and died after attending a co-vid party. >> this is a party held by somebody diagnosed with the co-vid virus, and the thought is that people get together and to see if the virus is real and if anyone gets infected. just before the patient died, they looked at their nurse and said, i think i made a mistake. i thought this was a hoax, but it's not. >> houston's mayor is among the officials in harris county calling for a new stay at home order to slow the number of cases, but that is ultimately up to the texas governor. on friday, he warned a lockdown is the next step if cases don't start declining. now, we've seen at least one hospital in south texas have to set up a tent outside to handle extra patients and there's also some hospitals that are reportedly telling their first responders that they may not have enough beds to safely accept new patients and some county morgues are having to

bring in mobile refrigeration trucks to put people in once they pass away. gayle? >> yeah. no kind of hoax there. thank you very much, omar. a new study from the university of california san francisco says nearly 1 in 3 young adults may be vulnerable to the coronavirus. our dr. david agus joins us with more on that part of the story. good to see you. what's happening with the young people is my first question, and for the purposes of this conversation, what do we mean by young people, the age range? >> good morning, gayle. i don't want to offend you on this, but young in this study is 18 to 25. and what a -- >> i'm not offended. >> either am i. believe me. what it's showing in the study is a lot more of them are at higher risk for complications from covid-19 than previous thought. there's a 300% increase in this
8:06 am
age group being admitted to hospitals. we know a third of them are higher risk because dominantly they've been smoking in the last 30 days as well as other medical conditions. but smoking dwarves all the other issues. >> yeah. we've heard about smoking and vaping. a couple vaping groups have told us in statements that the data does not tie vaping to covid-19. what are your thoughts on that? >> well, i don't think we're tie covid-19 to vaping but vaping in the last 30 days and tobacco in the last 30 days we think puts you at higher risk for complications from covid-19 because of the inflammation in the lungs. it needs to be proven in a study before anybody will back away from the statement. >> researchers in london have found people who recover from covid-19 may lose their immunity sooner than first thought. what does that mean? >> this is a study that followed
8:07 am
hospital workers. 60% of them had antibiotic levels three weeks, that's the highest antibiotic goes, three weeks after infection. that prevents the virus. we thought can give them protection. but when you look three months later, that number is down to 20%. so the antibiotics have a very short life. it's not as doom as gloom as it sounds. much of the immunity is from t-cells. we're not measuring them. t-cells have a memory and provide immunity against the virus after being exposed. the vaccines are given in two shots. we can get a much higher concentration of antibiotodies n if you were just infected with the virus. coupled with the vaccines and the t-cell response, my people is the immunity to the virus lasts longer. >> what everybody wants you know is a vaccine. i know you've been working on a database to advise volunteers about this. what are you finding? how is that going is a better
8:08 am
question? >> well, what's exciting is that this is a data where you log on and everybody in the audience can log in. they can volunteer to be part of the phase three clinical trials for the vaccine and the antibody, and we're looking for people of every race, every part in the country. every age to have a distribution and to enroll people. it was announced by dr. fauci and the nih last week that already 60 plus,000 people that have been volunteered to be part of this heros, who want to be part of the solution, and later this week there's going to be a lot more media on it. those numbers are expected to rise significantly. we're looking for a million people in total to be volunteers in this program. >> david, we had a report on this broadcast earlier about the white house seeming to try to discredit dr. fauci who is widely respected according to to the latest polls. you know both sides here.
8:09 am
what is your take on what is happening? >> he's widely respected not just according to the polls. he's widely respected. i don't know. dr. fauci is a voice of reason in science and a powerful leader for what is happening with covid-19 and the country trusts him. in order to get normative behavior change you need leadership. he's provided leadership. i'm behind what he's pushing. obviously there's a lot of infighting on the white house on different areas, and i don't know what's specifically happening between them, but i hope he continues to lead. >> yes. i think many people hope that. dr. fauci always says stick with the science. i always take that to heart. thank you very much, doctor. a new cbs poll reveals how the pandemic is playing a big roll. and what it means with the election

8:16 am
just over 100 days until the 2020 presidential election, and presumptive democratic nominee joe biden is urging supporters to ignore the polls and keep working after the latest cbs news battleground tracker found him close to or leading president trump in three crucial states. the former vice president is ahead by 6% points in florida. the two are tied in arizona. and the president leads in texas by just a single percentge point. all three of those states which mr. trump won in 2016 are seeing a spike in coronavirus cases. not a coincidence according to our polls. ed o'keefe is covering campaign 2020. good morning. we should remind people that what matters in american presidential elections is winning states, not a national popular vote as we saw in 2016. that's why we have the battleground tracker. what's it telling us about how the pandemic is influencing politics? >> right now, tony, you could argue that the pandemic is everything in presidential politics. it's part of the reason why we
8:17 am
even feel compelled to take a look at the possibility that joe biden could win one, two, or three of these sunbelt states. what our poll found is that the more concerned a voter is in these three states about coronavirus, about getting it, about the response to it, the more likely they are to support joe biden. that's partly because the polling has found that democrats and independents are more dan ryan concerned about the mek overall and its potential on your or family or friends than republicans. what it also suggests now is that sort of the response, the competent government response to it is becoming a concern, and people are willing to take that out on president trump and republicans. >> yeah. we are 100 days from the vote, thereabouts. that feels like both a long time and not a long time. how locked in are voters? >> for the most part, this poll finds a majority of them are for the most part settled on either voting for president trump or for joe biden. one of the interesting things this poll found is if you
8:18 am
compare this year to four years ago, biden is doing better among three key groups that he needs to win over, and then in some cases could potentially swing back either way. women, seniors, and latinos. women especially, it was found in arizona, seniors are what's helping him in florida. and stronger than some other polls have found recently than the anticipated support among latinos is helping him in texas. it would take a combination of those three groups, seniors, women, and latinos especially, to win a state like texas, something that's on like the dream list for democrats. and at the beginning of the year wasn't seen as something that they could be competitive in trying to win. >> it's remarkable. hillary clinton won women in florida by just 4% points in 2016 and biden is up double digits overall among women in the state of florida. very notable indeed. you know, who you vote for is sometimes driven by how much you like that person, and sometimes
8:19 am
driven by how much you dislike the other person. is that what's going on here? >> it is. and this is where the president actually has a bit of an advantage in terms of the so-called enthusiasm gap. you look at his supporters, why are you voting for the president, most of them say it's because they like the president. they like him. they like the work he's been doing. you go over to joe biden, and you say why are voting for him? most of the people, a plurality, are saying because he's not president trump. it's not that they like joe biden, it's that he's anybody but the president. that's part of why you've seen biden and will see in the coming weeks starting to roll out specific ideas on how he'd rebuild the economy, how he'd address the pandemic. whe why they're building anticipation over who is going to be his running mate. they're saying this is why you should be excited about the campaign. they've got time to do that. ultimately he may win because he's not the president. a win is a win. certainly the more affirmative, supportive of him you are the
8:20 am
better because it suggests more people will vote. >> it's remarkable that not president trump could be a platform, but it is helping joe biden. it would appear. let's talk about the vote-by-mail debate. the president has said he doesn't want to see expanded vote by mail. many democrats do. are you seeing that divide in the polls? >> you absolutely are. and that is really one of the incredible developments of this year. remember, a lot of states that are republican run or that have historically supported republicans, especially in the west, do most of their elections by mail. in these three states we found a majority of democrats most independents support expanding vote by mail, would like to do it or have the option. but among republicans, it's a very small percentage. and that's fine. if they want to show up and stand in line at potentially smaller polling or smaller number of polling locations in november because others have been shut down to control for the pandemic, you know, that's great for the president because he's got enthusiastic supporters. but if they don't vote by mail and then there are issues on election day, long lines, you
8:21 am
know, issues -- it could be a real dilemma for the president. could still be, of course, for democrats, as well. >> yeah. he's battleground states are what matters in 2020. thank you for walking us through the numbers. we appreciate it. of course, to get realtime election polling and the state of the races in all 50 states, you can visit the cbs news battleground tracker poll at cbsnews.com/polls. ahead, an alabama man's nearly six-week trek to honor george floyd. you're watching "cbs this morning." for the sweaty faces,
8:23 am
and the hidden smiles. the foggy glasses, and the muffled laughs. a simple piece of fabric makes a big statement: i care. wear a mask. let's all do our part to slow the spread. a florida woman separated from her husband in a nursing home for nearly two months due to coronavirus restrictions found a way to see him. how? she took a job as a dishwasher. what? 66-year-old steven daniel who was battling alzheimer's entered the jacksonville facility last july. his wife used to visit every day until the home closed to
8:24 am
visitors in march. she says she saw him twice during the quarantine but stayed outside his room which made him upset. two weeks ago, she received a call. >> so they contacted me, totally out of the blue, and said we understand that you're maybe interested in employment with us. and i said, i am. they said, we happen to have a part-time position available. i said, what is it? it's a dishwasher. well, then dishwashing it is. >> dishwasher it is. you go, mary. she says her new job allows her to spend time with her husband, steve. she says patients do better when they can see the people they love. i think, guys, you do better when you can see the people you love whether you're sick or not. clearly they have a longstanding relationship or deep love. i love this story. >> this is what's been so hard for people through this is the separation, gayle. anything that can bridge that gap -- especially in that situation, you know, with the husband with alzheimer's. >> and with the husband just 66.
8:25 am
8:26 am
the biggest jump is an alameda county. authorities say 35 people in the sheriff's office have been infected with the virus. they tweeted that a senior deputy is in the icu in critical condition. the covid-19 testing site around the fairgrounds has been extended through august. testing results are available for a some to medic residence in pleasanton, dublin, and livermore. no appointment is needed. as we look at the roadways, 680 near highway 40, you might see some brake lights. fire crews are on scene with the light lanes blocked. it has been out there for some time. we have some slight delays as we approach north 680 at highway four to the right shoulder. highway four is looking good with no major delays and the bay bridge toll plaza is quiet with everything looking clear. the rest of our bay area bridges are problem free. there is an easy you right between 880 and 101.
8:30 am
welcome back. it is time to bring you "talk of the table" this morning. it's where we each pick a story to share with everyone at home and with each other. gayle, it is your favorite segment. you're going first. >> it is. oh, thanks. thanks, tony. it is my favorite segment. mine's about terry willis. you don't know the name yet, but wait until you meet this guy. he walked 1,000 miles to protest police violence and call attention to racial injustice. terry willis arrived in george floyd's memorial in minneapolis yesterday where the mayor declared it terry willis day. after leaving his home in huntsville, alabama, june 2nd --
8:31 am
nearly six weeks ago -- the 35-year-old father says he's overwhelmed by the support he received along the way. >> i life everything about this journey. the people who have shown me love just by walking in their states. i didn't have a family growing up. so to receive this love from complete strangers like this, man, it's -- it's wonderful. it's phenomenal. >> so what do we know about terry willis? he's 35 years old. he's a business owner. he said he felt obligated as a black man and father to set an example for his son about the world he'd like to see. this is what i like -- he said, "i just walked. that's all i did. i'm no celebrity. i'm no superhero, i'm just a regular man who saw a man get murdered and wanted to do something about it." i'm blown away by terry willis. >> i feel like the frustration and outrage led him to take the first step.
8:32 am
what got him to go the 1,000 miles was the love and support and the final walk was a beautiful sight. >> a good kind of tired. >> yeah. a good kind of tired. >> all right. i am going to continue my coverage of all the crazy things in my generation is spending money on now that they have it. once again, the nostalgia cat gunmanme-- category. dig around for old nintendo video games because they could be worth a lot of money. an up opened copy of a super mario brothers game released in 1985, i remember it well, sold at auction on friday for $114,000. that is a world record sale for any video game. surprise, surprise, the buyer does not want his name to be known. apparently this was a remarkable game because it had a cardboard hang tag on it, exactly like the one your little kid hands would have held in the shop when you said "can we get it, mom?"
8:33 am
mom said no, and you had to put it back. it is somebody's. >> now everybody's -- my kids are going to say, let's buy in video game it could be worth $114,000 one day. >> they'll be saying, "mom, i can't believe you threw out my video games." >> that, too. speaking of video games, here's one that's almost -- almost looks like the video game. the tour de france is being held virtually for the first time because of the pandemic. a teenager is leading the women's race. britain's april tasey, who's 19 years old, claimed her second stage victory yesterday. she just spent -- there she is. she spent three months recovering from a broken knee. cyclists are racing on a computer-generated course. so all those riders you see are actually real people who are racing on what they call trainers which is like a treadmill for bikes at home. i hope you've seen -- you don't see it. they're all riding. they're riding on a flat plain. they say it's interesting because normally you go uphill but then you coast down. this you just keep riding constantly on a flat surface.

and resistance is applied to sort of simulate hills. but the race at least is being held, and as you saw, looks like a video game. >> that's amazing. >> yeah. >> uh-huh. uh-huh. >> so we can -- >> cool looking -- >> tour de france is normally a very, very long race. this isn't quite as long. it's a lot of riding for those folks. this morning, we're getting an inside look, we're switching gears a little bit speaking of bicycle metaphors. we're getting an inside look at an unprecedented coronavirus study. a tiny town near venice, italy, has become a living laboratory. it's where the country's first coronavirus victim was from. 60 and 6 correspondent seth doane shows how the town immediately sealed itself off and has tested nearly everyone for covid-19 at least three times. " 0 in 6" features 60-minute style story telling and airs on quibi and is produced by cbs news which is part of viacom-cbs
8:35 am
and investor in quibi. take a look. >> wincing their way through test after test, nearly every resident in this town of 3,300 is voluntarily enduring discomfordi discomfort to take part in something unprecedented. >> an incredible testimony of science in society. >> reporter: the soft-spoken virologist, dr. dr. andrea crisanti, has become an unlikely hero here since he started studying the town of vo. what's unique here is that the doctor has been testing those residents for covid-19 repeatedly since the beginning of the epidemic. he says this is the most well-studied community in the world. >> and seth doane joins us now from rome. good morning, seth. the three tests per citizen of that city is really remarkable. what can we learn from vo?
8:36 am
>> reporter: really remarkable and a little uncomfortable, as you can see the people kind of wincing. but we've learned a remarkable amount from this small town of about 3,000 people. there are concrete scientific findings. one of the early ones, this death, february 21st, set into motion what wound up being a grand experiment. if you think back early februari, this was very early on. one of the first things they discovered was just how many more people had the coronavirus than they initially thought. and how many of those people were asymptomatic. then this virologist, who you just saw in the clip, dr. dr. andrea crisanti, he had been on sabbatical. turns out he's on sabbatical from london near this place where there's this huge outbreak in this pandemic. he says, wow, you've created a fantastic, really fascinating setting here where you've tested a cross section of a population. could we go in there and give all of these people who we've
8:37 am
locked down the military came, they closed the borders. they said, look, this place is in essence frozen in time. could we please do another test and go back. the guy who runs the region said, you're just as crazy as i am trying to test all these people again. they found the test -- the test was something that the folks in town were willing to do again. and they've done it again. i can't tell you everything they found, but they've begin a blood test, you have to watch the piece. but they're finding remarkable things about antibodies and trying to build a genetic map of the town because they know the transmission chain. >> vo was locked down about two weeks before the rest of the country. i mean, can you give us -- first of all, how are they able to test everybody three times? >> reporter: well, they said they -- the lab at the university come is one of the most prestigious institutions, has a robust hospital there. they're now able to do around 5,000 tests a day. so one of the interesting things
8:38 am
we don't talk about in the story because there wasn't time was he, before we went into vo and met him and came into the lab, he said you want you all, you and your crew, the people, camera you'crew i was with, to tested. we have to be careful about who comes and goes. we were negative and tested again coming out. he has, frankly, the capability to do these tests. and he said let's raise the money to do this again, and we'll ask for volunteers. and nearly everyone in town turned out for all of these tests. most interesting one in many ways was the third test which not only was it covid test, that swab that you see, that uncomfortable swab, but also a blood test to check for antibodies and to build this genetic map. and even kids turned out for this blood test. >> italy has dramatically decreased the number of cases, seth. to what degree did vo play a role in sort of the way the country responded? >> reporter: well, in many ways, anthony, this was a model. it's been written up even in the
8:39 am
"lancet," prestigious medical journal. the approach there in vo was directed by this far right league party who has some scientific background. he studied medicine and said, you know, i'm not a doctor, but i did study viruses. i know you have to isolate viruses to fight them. they were very good at locking down and testing. and compared with lumbary that looked at strengthening hospitals, the approach of testing in veneto worked. >> thank you very much. you can watch seth's "60 in 6" story today on the mobile streaming app quibi. ahead, author elin hilderbrand will join us to talk about her latest summer beach
8:42 am
8:43 am
so what are you waiting for? idina menzel to sing your own theme song? ♪ tara, tara, look at her go with a fresh cup of joe. ♪ gettin' down to work early! ♪ following her dreams into taxidermy! oh, it's...tax attorney. ♪ i read that wrong, oh yeeaaaah! geico. save an extra 15 percent when you switch by october 7th. ♪ give it up for tara! bestselling author elin hilderbrand is known as the queen of the summer beach read. oh, boy, is she. the majority of her 25 books take place on the island of nantucket. with a pandemic sweeping the country, many readsers are especially drawn to the escapism that her books provide. her latest novel is called "28 summers," it's been on the "new york times" bestsellers list for three weeks now. elin hilderbrand joins us from her home in nantucket. good morning to you, i'm so glad
8:44 am
to see you. i was reading the sunday "new york times" best section book section yesterday, there you are, number one on the list. go, you. there is the first that will be made into a movie. go you again. congrats, congrats. >> thank you, gayle. thank you so much. >> i know you've got to be feeling really good. okay. let's talk about mallory blessing. she moves to nantucket in her 20s, similar to you. so i'm wondering, do you have a same time next year story in your life, too? >> oh, my gosh, gayle. no, i don't. one of the things that i learned while i was writing -- while i was writing this book is that it's almost logistically impossible to conduct this kind of affair. i had a really hard time even getting my fictional characters together every summer. but it was interesting. it was interesting to explore, anyway, and i do -- i do succeed, i think. >> but you were inspired by the movie. what was it about the movie that
8:45 am
you thought made such a good book when you talk about mallory and jake and their journey together? >> well, the movie is very simple in that it was written as a play. so it's only 1.5 sets. basically all takes place in the hotel room where the couple in the movie, george and doris, meet, and there are a few scenes at the restaurant. and we never get to see their other lives. we never meet their spouses, their respective spouses. and i thought this is such interesting, rich material for a novel. and so one of the things that i do in this book is i explore their entire lives, not just the times when they're together. that's really i think it fleshs out and re-imagines that kind of special relationship. >> yeah. and it is a special relationship. i found myself very caught up in their relationship, even though they're both married to other people. i also like the device that you use with every chapter because
8:46 am
it is 28 summers, you take every year, and you -- you start it with what are we talking about, say, in 1995. molten chocolate cake, the unabomber, "toy story." what were we talking about in summer 2015? hot line bling, james corden, the affordable care act. what was your thinking the way you set it up? i thought that was as fun to read as it was reading the characters in the book. >> yeah. a lot of people have said that. each chapter header delves a little bit into the pop culture and the news stories of that particular year. and i mean, i think if anything this year teaches us that we are creatures of -- we're influenced by what's going on around us. we are creatures of our times. and so i was very particular about the things that i included, you know, i did exercise fads, i did food fads, i did the tv shows and the movies and the music that defined the year. it was so much fun. i kept going back and adding and
8:47 am
replacing and taking things out and putting things in. and i think that is one of the really fun sort of film montage things in the book that makes you really visualize the year. >> you know what else is fun in the book? one of my favorite questions you ask -- is monogamy and long marriages an unrealistic expectation? i have to say i think it is not an unrealistic expectation. but i sit here before you a divorced person. so note to self, make sure your partner feels the same. that's one thing i have to say. so what is your answer to that question, and what are you raising, elin? >> i think that i'm obviously -- everybody goes into a marriage with the hope and expectation that it is monogamous and faithful. the characters that i write about are all too human so some succeed, some of them fail. the people who fail create drama, and drama is a novelist's best friend, of course. i always put in one or two
8:48 am
marriages as like the paragon. mallory's parents have been married and very happy for a long time. and her best friend on nantucket is getting married. you can tell they're going to be together forever. i always put in the beacon of hope. >> yeah. and i heard, elin, that you picked up a new reader in your books for the first time. i thought this was exciting. might be the most important reader of all you've ever had. >> absolutely. so this past week, the most exciting thing, one of the most exciting things in my life has happened. that is that -- i'm going to cry, my goodness. my daughter, shelby, has started reading my books. and it is a culmination of my -- my two life work, my life work which is my children, my life work which is my writing. and she's on page 200, and she says, "you're doing a really good job, mom. nice plot twist." so i'm feeling -- you know, a real profound sense of synergy.
8:49 am
i liove it. >> yes. nothing is more importance as when your kids think you're doing something great or think you're cool. another reason why you cannot retire next summer. i heard you're thinking about it. thinking about giving up writing. you cannot do that now. shelby wouldn't want that for you. >> okay, gayle. i got to keep writing for her. sure. >> there you go. you look great. and again, congratulations. thank you. >> thank you. >> "28 summers" is on sale -- bye. wherever you like to buy your books. we'll be right back. well many people have such a misunderstanding as to how a reverse mortgage works. people think that the bank takes your home, but that is not true. that's absolutely 100% wrong. the home is ours. we can sell it if we want to at any time. i like the flexibility of not having a payment, but i can make the payment if i want to. you're responsible for keeping up your property taxes and you're responsible for paying your insurance on the property.
8:50 am
for us, it was a security blanket. the value of our house, was to fund our long-term health care. for years, reverse mortgage funding has been helping customers like these use the equity from their homes to finance their lives. they know the importance of having financial security. make an appointment so they can tell you how it works. it's a good thing. access your equity. stay in your home. have peace of mind.

8:54 am
serious allergic reactions can occur, including anaphylaxis, which is severe. tell your doctor about new or worsening eye problems, such as eye pain or vision changes, or a parasitic infection. if you take asthma medicines, don't change or stop them without talking to your doctor. so help heal your skin from within and talk to your eczema specialist about dupixent. if your financial situation has changed, we may be able to help.
