7:04 am
follow. california has recorded nearly 110,000 new cases in the last 14 days, including another 8,000 yesterday. governor gavin newsom ordered some businesses to close statewide just a few weeks after letting them reopen. and about 825,000 students in los angeles and san diego will not return to school as scheduled. jonathan vigliotti reports on the return of restrictions. >> covid-19 is not going away any time soon. >> reporter: just over one month after reopening several sectors of california's economy, governor gavin newsom is reversing course. yesterday he announced gyms, churches and hair salons would be among those forced to close in 29 california counties while bars, indoor restaurants and movie theaters will close across the entire state. donna bruner owns a hair salon in danville.
7:05 am
she's heart broken for her employees and may consider defying the governor's order for them. >> i, as a business owner, cannot tell someone, you can't work to put food on the table. you can't work to take care of your kids. >> reporter: as health officials continue to sound the alarm over the rising number of cases, the state's two largest school districts announced students will not return to classrooms this fall. in a statement, the los angeles and san diego school districts wrote the skyrocketing infection rates of the past few weeks make it clear that the pandemic is not under control. >> the health and safety of all in the school community is not something we can compromise. >> reporter: other states are also grappling with how to get children back in the classroom safely. some school board leaders in arizona are calling on the governor to close classrooms and school buildings until october 1st. >> i cannot, in good conscience, put our youth at risk by
7:06 am
restarting in-person instruction. >> reporter: in new york, governor andrew cuomo vowed schools would only reopen if positive tests in their region remain below 5% over a 14-day average. >> we're not going to use our children as guinea pigs. >> reporter: but as some school districts go online, others are fighting to stay open, like in orange county, where last night the school board recommended students go back into the classroom without face masks and without social distancing. but new data shows teachers are at highest risk. 1 in 4 teachers in the u.s. have pre-existing conditions that make them especially vulnerable to the coronavirus. tony? >> it's not just about the kids. it's about the instructors. thank you. other states are worried about the coronavirus straining their hospital systems. more than 8,000 people in florida alone are now hospitalized with the virus. and our lead national correspondent david begnaud is following all of this from tampa. good morning. what, if anything, are florida hospitals doing to treat more
7:07 am
patients? >> so, look, the governor said it's not an issue of having enough hospital beds. it's a matter of having enough people to treat the patients. so we just found out the governor secured 3,000 nurses from elsewhere, other states to come here to florida. about 100, we're told, are coming to tampa. we came to tampa because this is the largest hospital in this area. we wanted to check on how things were going. we spoke to one of the leaders who said, we have seven icu beds available. it doesn't sound good but we're doing everything we can to ride that wave right now and not get overwhelmed by the patients who keep coming in, day after day. >> you have wave after wave after wave, how long can you sustain that? >> reporter: that's dr. jason wilson. the associate director of emergency management at tampa general hospital. he says the volume of covid patients coming to the hospital is five times higher than it was a month and a half ago. >> we really have done everything we can to try to keep
7:08 am
patients out of the hospital who don't need to be in the hospital. >> reporter: the situation is far more dire in south florida. there are now just 10 icu beds left in all of miami-dade county. the most populated county in the state. >> miami is now the epicenter of the pandemic. we were seeing in wuhan six months ago, five months ago, now we there are. >> reporter: dr. lilian abbo works for jackson health system. she says doctors and nurses in her hospitals are working around the clock due to the sheer volume of patients and some of them are getting sick. >> nursing shortage that is about to enter our community, no one is ready for because on a normal basis, without coronavirus, there's already a nursing shortage. >> reporter: that's melisa, a nurse from florida who went to new york city at the height of that city's outbreak. she says she's petrified with crises in several states now there won't be enough nurses like her to come down to florida to help. >> right now, texas is sucking in all icu, e.r. nurses.
7:09 am
they are getting all the specialty nurses. arizona is getting the leftovers of that. so what does florida get? that's what's really scary about this. >> reporter: in addition to a need for more testing, there's an extraordinary need for convalescent plasma. that comes from people who survived the coronavirus and have the antibodies in their blood. we heard from one blood bank in the country, the largest in the state of florida. they said doctors are using convalescent plasma earlier on in the treatment process because it's proving to be more beneficial. they aren't just using it on the sickest patients so there's more of a need because there are more patients. if you have recovered, you can donate every 28 days. and they desperately need that plasma from you. anthony? >> everything helps, david. thank you. 1 out of every 4 people tested for covid-19 in arizona are -- is coming up positive. the highest rate in the country. 90% of that state's icu beds are full, and the governor is moving
7:10 am
to increase testing. mola lenghi is at a testing facility in mesa, arizona, just outside phoenix. mola, there don't seem to be enough tests for everyone. >> that's right, anthony. that is the problem. look, while testing has improved by most standards throughout the state in recent days, quest diagnostic, the largest testing network, said on monday it could take up to seven days for nonpriority patients who get their results. up to a week-long wait. but, now, here at arizona state university, there might be a remedy to that problem. testing centers like this one we saw in mesa, arizona, had people waiting weeks to get an appointment, hours to get a test and almost another week to get results. >> this seems like it's a really long wait. that's why i almost didn't come today. and that's part of the problem. according to the harvard global health institute, on average, arizona is testing 209 people per 100,000 a day. but more than 1,000 need to be
7:11 am
tested a day to flatten the state's curve and nearly 4,000 a day to fully suppress new cases. it's a problem joshua labaer hopes to correct. >> all those results have already been delivered. >> reporter: labaer is the executive director of the biodesign institute which held the first public covid test last saturday that used a saliva collection method designed by his team at arizona state university. the goal, quick collection and quick results. >> just a matter of days? >> it's about a day. a little more than a day. >> reporter: they are able to process up to 4,000 tests a day and hope to scale up further. in goodyear, arizona, esstrela's parents caught it. his hospital room just happens to be on a first floor with a window so his family set up camp and they've been here every single day. >> we literally just speak through the window as loud as we can. sometimes we can see tears
7:12 am
falling down. >> reporter: every single evening, they speak to him from outside the window. sometimes pray the rosary and let him know they're still there. >> do you think maybe in some small way that he knows you're out here, that that's helping? >> i believe so. he'll yell at us. >> i'm sure he'll take that yelling. you'd accept that? >> i'll take it any day. >> reporter: the family camps outside their father's window every day. they are out there in shifts all day, all night. there's a family member out there. and often, there will be other families who they know or just perfect strangers who will show up, offer up some food, drinks, water, prayer, anything to show their support, gayle. >> it makes a difference to see people care about you and support you always. thank you, mola. dr. anthony fauci is warning the u.s. hasn't begun to see the end of this pandemic. president trump had some kinder words for the scientist in his administration that he's been working overtime to discredit.
7:13 am
this after mr. trump retweeted a post by chuck woolery saying, quote, everyone is lying about the outbreak. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on this story. good morning to you. i remember chuck woolery from "the love connection." seems like the president is loving what he has to say. what else is the president saying? >> good morning, gayle. good morning to everybody. president trump continues to falsely claim that the nation's reported case numbers are only rising because we are doing so much testing, even though we just saw many states are struggling to meet soaring demands creating a brand-new testing crisis. in fact, the president's own former acting chief of staff is now saying we still have a testing problem in this country. >> i get along with him very well. i like him personally. >> reporter: president trump described his relationship with dr. anthony fauci as very good. but -- >> i don't always agree with him. >> reporter: as a result of those differences, fauci tells cbs news he is not appreciated
7:14 am
at the white house. >> if i were advising -- >> reporter: after months of speaking his mind and contradicting the president, even after some administration officials called him out, fauci did not change course during a talk yesterday. >> here it is. it's happened. your worst nightmare, the perfect storm. >> reporter: mr. trump's forecast is very different. he claims coronavirus cases are spiking because the country is doing more testing. but the rate of positive tests has doubled in the last month. >> do you acknowledge that it's going up for other reasons, too, for example, that it's actually spreading? >> we have one of the lowest mortality rates anywhere. we test more than anybody, by far. and when you test, you create cases. so we've created cases. >> reporter: still, there are testing shortages across the country. testing companies say the surge in cases is leading to delays in delivering results so those who are infected may be spreading the virus unknowingly. former acting white house chief
7:15 am
of staff mick mulvaney said in an op-ed his son had to wait five to seven days for results and his daughter could not get a test at all. he wrote that is simply inexcusable at this point in the pandemic. and while the white house has argued that lower morality rates are a sign of the country's progress against the coronavirus, some members of the task force say it's too soon to tell. >> we do expect deaths to go up. if you have more cases, more hospitalizations, we do expect to see that over the next two or three weeks, before this turns around. >> reporter: meanwhile, a new york court has lifted a temporary restraining order that was barring president trump's niece mary trump from promoting her tell-all book about the trump family. the decision also means her book can officially be released today by publisher simon & schuster, which is a division of viacom cbs. tony? >> weijia, thank you. for the first time in 17 years, a federal prison inmate
7:16 am
was executed this morning. daniel lewis lee received a leet lethal injection after the supreme court allowed it to proceed. he was convicted of murdering three members of an arkansas family back in 1996, including an 8-year-old girl. lee told witnesses this mortgni, though, he didn't do it. the high court with conservative justices in the majority voted 5-4 to reverse the lower court rulings. they had been concerned with an unconstitutional risk of pain when it comes to lethal injection. family and friends of "glee" actress naya rivera are mourning today after authorities confirmed they found her body in a southern california lake. the 33-year-old actress disappeared last week while boating with her 4-year-old son. the boy was found alone on the rented boat. former members of the "glee" cast gathered at the lake yesterday to pray. carter evans reports from los angeles. >> we are confident the body we found is that of naya rivera.
7:17 am
>> reporter: ventura county sheriff bill ayub said they found the actress' body floating at the surface at lake piru. >> no indication of foul play and no indication this was a suicide. >> reporter: rivera was last seen wednesday boarding a pontoon boat with her son. the boy was found hours later alone on the boat wearing a life jacket. he told investigators they went swimming and his mom helped him get back on the boat before she disappeared into the water. >> she mustered enough energy to get her son back onto the boat but not enough to save herself. >> reporter: rivera chatted with family members through facetime while on the boat. and search crews used the videos to determine her location. the discovery of rivera's body came on the seventh anniversary of the death of "glee" actor cory montee who died of a drug overdose. >> i had this whole plan to surprise everyone. >> reporter: rivera played santana lopez, a lesbian cheerleader on "glee" for six

7:31 am
as jeffrey epstein did almost a year ago today. but in this case, we're talking about happening during the middle of a pandemic, and maxwell's hearing will be held via video. court documents filed by ghislaine maxwell's attorneys claim the 58-year-old british socialite who they say hasn't left the country since jeffrey epstein arrest last july is not a flight risk. her legal team is offering a $5 million bail package to secure her release. that fund is backed by six co-signers. maxwell's siblings, relatives and friends and includes property in the uk valued at $3.75 million. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman said maxwell's attorneys face a major burden in advocating for her bail but made a solid case. >> the defense wrote a very persuasive memorandum. more important perhaps in the package is the reasoning.
7:32 am
number one, covid-19. that not only might kill ghislaine maxwell but would not benefit the victims of jeffrey epstein and allegedly of ghislaine maxwell, but secondly, what they argue is the fact she was never hiding. >> reporter: maxwell's team said she simply left the public eye to avoid media attention and scrutiny. prosecutors believe maxwell tried to hide before and does present a flight risk. according to court documents when fbi agents approached maxwell's new hampshire home she fled to another room. investigators also claimed they noticed a cell phone wrapped in tin foil which prosecutors called a seemingly misguided effort to evade law enforcement. the same documents reveal maxwell is linked to more than a dozen bank accounts around the world with more than $20 million in total and has three passports in her name.
7:33 am
last summer jeffrey epstein died by hanging while awaiting trial at the metropolitan correctional center in manhattan. it prompted intense scrutiny over how the jail was run and outrage on behalf of the epstein accusers who were unable to face him in court. maxwell is being held in a similar facility roughly five miles from where jeffrey epstein died. since her arrival at the metropolitan detention center in brooklyn, details have emerged about what's being done to protect maxwell. law enforcement officials confirmed to cbs news that maxwell's sheets were taken away and she wore prison issued clothes made of paper. >> you have to assume people do want her dead. >> reporter: cap ron lindsay served as the warden of the brooklyn jail from 2007 to 2009 where maxwell is being held. >> miss maxwell allegedly knows some very, very damaging information about a multitude of allegedly very important people.

it's just absolutely essential that the government get this right and safeguard her. not only for the sake of all the victims involved but for the sake of asking other potential co-defendants being unmasked. >> reporter: maxwell's attorneys maintain they've been in touch with prosecutors since jeffrey epstein was arrested last year. the allegation in this indictment against maxwell, they include charges that date back to 1994 and involve three underage girls. gayle? >> thank you. a lot of girls very happy she's behind bars. we'll see how this turns out. ahead one school district is making big changes today to try to re-open this fall. how everything from the classroom size to where the students sit and eat lunch could be different this time. plus a reminder, you can always get this morning's news by subscribing to the "cbs this

in our series the new normal we'll take a look at how the pandemic is changing our every day lives. this morning we're taking you inside classrooms. some districts planning to have smaller class sizes, less movement through the schools and fewer visitors. meg oliver is inside an elementary classroom in parsippany in new jersey. meg, what can parents there expect?
7:40 am
>> reporter: good morning. they are still finalizing their plans here but this is what a typical classroom used to look like with connected desks and 23 students in a class. but across the haul, desks spaced six feet apart and everyone must wear a mask. >> i'm confident today that we can re-open. we have six weeks to go. >> reporter: the principal of east lake elementary in parsippany is spending the summer preparing for his cool's re-opening. >> the blue line right now is basically a lane that you're going to have so that you're walking one way on one side of the hallway. >> reporter: the school is set in a middle class new york suburb. >> you'll have half the classroom on each week the students will come in one week,
7:41 am
they will be here for four days. and then they will go distance learning the next week. >> how is that fair? >> not really fair but safe. >> reporter: sending half the number of students to school each week reduces class sizes from 23 students to 11. that small class will stay together all year. buses which used to carry 52 students to and from school will now board just 22. outside visitors will be limited and the cool will close for a thorough cleaning every night. >> teacher will most likely doing the instruction from here, you know, if she needs to navigate the classroom, she can do so but still needs to maintain a distance. >> this is sad looking. >> it's not optimal but once again it's keeping the safety first. >> i would not step into a cool not to decorate, not to collect my things. >> reporter: andrea bazemore a 27-year-old first grade teacher
7:42 am
in dallas contracted covid-19 a few weeks ago. she's refusing to return to a classroom. >> it is so disheartening to see so many teachers and all of the teacher groups that i see putting together wills, having that conversation with their kids about what happens if i die. >> reporter: these college assistant professors said remote learning took a heavy toll on their family. their oldest daughter is austerityist autistic. >> how important is it for your daughter to have in person teaching? >> it's everything because she relies on interaction with the other person. >> reporter: in tulsa, oklahoma, the holmes family won't risk sending their two youngest children back to school. both parents are immuno compromised. >> my husband hasn't been at work since march. we literally have been living off of just my disability.
7:43 am
>> reporter: the technology to support more remote learning comes at a cost and some difficult choices. >> it may be whether this month we pay the light bill or water or gas. we may have to put it off. >> reporter: with so much uncertainty the principal is assured of one thing his students can return to school in a safe manner. >> basically it's just like any other lesson. we'll teach the kids the safety and ensure that they know what they are doing and i think they will adjust just fine. >> reporter: here in new jersey every district will come up with their own plan. now here if anybody contracts coronavirus, they will work with the local health department to trace contact but ultimately come down the superintendent whether to decide to shut down the school. i'm with you, a little sad seeing a classroom like that. the takeaway is if kids go back to school it's not like school that we recognized from our childhoods.

california is making an abrupt u-turn you could say to try to roll back the surge in coronavirus infections. about 825,000 students in los angeles and san diego will not return to school. >> other states are worried about straining their hospital systems. more than 8,000 people in florida are hospitalized now the virus. the governor said it's not an issue of not having enough hospital beds. it's having enough people to treat the patients. many states are struggling to meet soaring demands, creating a brand new testing crisis. family and friends and fans of ""glee"" actress naya rivera are mourning after authorities confirm they found her body in the southern california lake. the 33-year-old actress disappeared while boating with her 4-year-old son. he's on fire, yo. >> a 2-year-old skater in sacramento with mad skills is gaining a lot of attention. he's known as tiny hawk on social media. >> his parents say it all started as an unexpected hobby

8:04 am
remote learning. classes are going to be pushed back until the end of august, and online classes will take place only for the first nine weeks of the school year. we spoke with middle school special ed. teacher meghan rowe for her district outside of atlanta is offering both choices online or in person. she has no choice but to return to the classroom. not only is she concerned about potentially becoming infected, she's worried about infecting her 11-year-old son who has both autism and a neurological disorder. >> my son is a high-risk candidate for covid-19, and i will be in four different classrooms with approximately 150 students total. i really wish that everybody would justul take into consideration that not everybody has a typical situation. not everybody has the choice of staying home and home schooling their child. >> reporter: georgia's department of education has

updated its guidelines on how to have children safely back in school. basically they've gone from how to open schools to when you should close them if someone becomes sick. of course, school districts across the country making these decisions right now, tony, and tough decisions also for both parents and teachers. >> yes, that's right, janet. janet, thank you very much. some hospitals in states where coronavirus cases are surging are now running out of beds and many doctors and nurses who watched covid-19 hit the new york city area very hard are now concerned about what's next for their communities. our senior medical correspondent dr. tara narula spoke to front line medical workers in california, alabama, texas is a and florida about their fears. >> we started out a few weeks ago with 130 patients and gone up to 370, 380 patients in the last two weeks. >> reporter: were you prepared? >> we were. we had what i like to call the gift of time. >> i remember distinctly when the outbreak happened in new
8:06 am
york city, we were all in our ers down here in texas, we started preparing. we started gathering ppe, and we were waiting for a front that we felt would come, and then wham, it hit after memorial day. >> we're very stressed. i've never seen surges like this. i've never seen this many this critical, this many patients this critical. i've never seen the nurses work so much overtime. >> you think maybe okay it will start to trend downward, but then you get a new set of numbers the next day and they're either steady or they're increasing. >> reporter: what are you hearing from some of your colleagues where you are at in california in terms of their level of concern or fear? >> i think the real fear people have now is nobody wants to be in the situation where you're resource overwhelmed and you know there's things you could have done to help people and save their life or decrease their long-term complications. >> you start to become a little more concerned and anxious every single day.
8:07 am
when you have a little bit of, i can't find a bed for my icu patient or i can't find a bed for a patient who is admitted, that's when you start to feel a little bit of the pressure and the anxiety that oh, man, is this the tipping point? >> i wear a mask 13, 14 hours a day. it's not that comfortable. it's much better than the alternative. >> people that you know are thinking that masks don't matter and that coronavirus isn't real or it's not as big of a problem as it is. it kind of hurts actually. >> we know how to mitigate and decrease the harm and that's by wearing masks. it's really kind of like not running a red light. we don't run a red light so we don't get in an accident and we don't create an accident for other people. >> it's very scary for all of us, but we have a passion. nurses have a passion to care for people, and i think that's just kicking into overdrive. >> this is seeming a lot more like a marathon, and it certainly takes a toll on everybody who is involved. >> normally i would get in the car after a shift, you know,

radio up loud, happy to be off. nowadays i ride in silence, p processing the things that i've seen. i pray that i continue to be able to do what i do and help as many people as possible. >> dr. tara narula joins us now. it's a powerful piece there, dr. narula. in the early outbreak in new york, medical workers were afraid of going home and infe infecting their families. is that still a concern in these other states? >> it is, tony. it's been one of the biggest fears of health care workers throughout this pandemic, and you can imagine, these are the individuals who have really borne witness to this tragedy. the fact it doesn't discriminate. it kills the young, the old. people have been dying inspect icu alone, having to say good-bye on an ipad and that creates as one doctor wrote "memories i wish i didn't have." doctors are in medical school, they put on the white coat and take that oath, they know they'll be sacrificing physically, emotionally, mentally for the rest of their life. what they don't think they'll have to do is sacrifice or jep
8:09 am
dials the health of their family and loved ones and that is the impossible decision and choice that many of them find themselves right now. >> are there lessons these other states can take from the experience here in new york? >> absolutely, and many of the doctors and health care workers we spoke to said they had as you saw in the piece the gift of time and experience, time to understand how this virus works, how to ventilate patients, what drugs might work, what kind of staffing and equipment they'll need, but many of them said that all that time and experience goes so far. if you have a failure or a lack of leadership in your state or at the federal government level, if you have individuals who are not wearing masks and taking this seriously, we asked one doctor what is one image that you wish people would remember, and she said it's the fear and n a patient's eyes when they're looking at me, not knowing if the treatment intervention i'm going to give them is going to work. imagine that that fear in that face is your mother, your sister, your child, your grandparent, maybe then she said people will take this seriously. >> we can hope.

8:16 am
fans of the washington redskins are speculating what the new team name will be after they announced they will retire the name and logo yesterday. >> the name has to go. the name has to go. >> the team faced criticism and protest for decades like this one in minneapolis back in 1992 ahead of super bowl 26 between the redskins and buffalo bills.
8:17 am
they protested outside of the hotel calling the name racist and offensive. the change follows pressure from sponsors and a racial reckoning in the wake of george floyd's death. cbs news special correspondent and host of nfl today james brown stopped using the name on air a while ago. he joins us now. good morning. you're a native washingtonian. you grew up in d.c. how do you think the city is taking this? >> it's been embraced by the majority, anthony. of course, you know the town all too well acgeorgetobeing a geor yourself. right now the big campaign is what the new name of the team will be. you talked about the sponsors who were talking about pulling their sponsorship, significant money. certainly $205 million that the title sponsor fedex had threatened to withdraw but clearly it's all on the heel of the momentum based on the horrific killing of george floyd, anthony.
8:18 am
>> as i mentioned, you chose a while back not to use the team name in your reporting. why did you decide to do that? >> anthony, i spent some time, my friend leo johnson, a brother of eric dickerson a hall of famer introduced me to a number of leaders in the native american community, the head of the national indian gaming association and the nation out of wisconsin and his son brandon who is the vice chair of the nation, i got a chance to talk to a number of native americans, senior citizens, middle age and youngsters. the abuse and frustration they were feeling with the microaggression and being looked at as second class citizens really touched my heart and maybe the most powerful question was asked of me by a friend of mine i sought some advice, he said what is a critical mass of people in your mind that would convince you it's not the right
8:19 am
thing to do in terms of calling the team a name. i made no hoopla about it. it touched my heart i wouldn't call a team for my legacy or family that's offensive and racist as well. >> as we mentioned, the protests have been going on for years. i think they started at least back in the 1970s. this has been on table. the owner dan schneider said he would never change the name and said redskins was meant in tribute to american indians. is it really just corporate money or just a moment? what do you think it is? >> i think it's a combination. look let's be clear. i don't think it's appropriate for those who are calling the ones who are being offended by it to change the narrative and tell them what the narrative should be. for the longest time it's been articulated it was a term of endearment, a tribute to their courage and to the heroism but
8:20 am
that's not the feeling of native americans. look i understand the polls show it could be evenly split, maybe even a majority of native americans not having a problem with it. but, again, i ask the question rhetorically how many does it take to share with you that it's offensive to them that you would be sensitive and show them that respect and, again, identify not talked about the subject a longtime i just did my job but that was my nod to the fact i was convinced by them. >> this is a name that's lived with this team for 80 some years. to the people who oppose this change what do you say? >> you know, again, everyone has their own choice. just because one has the freedom to speak how they feel doesn't necessarily make it right if you're offensing. with respect to this moment in time in our country, weapons the social injustices and the peaceful protest, the bottom line is can we not listen and
8:21 am
put ourselves in another person's shoes to do the right thing. i continue to articulate at the base of this is there respect and love for one's fellow man. that's the bottom line. >> the team's history doesn't change, just the name. thank you very much. ahead how a restaurant server who confronted a racist customer is being rewarded after video of the encounter was seen around the world. you're watching "cbs this morning". for the sweaty faces,

8:24 am
75 years ago. the soldier written her a message on a piece of german currency that said good luck and happiness to the start of a new life. in london ebert was looking through her belongings with her great-grandson when she discovered the note. the great-grandson looked to social media to find the soldier. he had died nine years ago >> i was a shaken because suddenly he wasn't my father and all the history we had together, instead he was this young man in the throes of war doing something kind for somebody and was actually overwhelming. >> ebert said she looked after his note all these years because it was something very, very special to her. tony, can you certainly see why. the that story just gives me goose bumps. a father discovers an act from the son, the son discovers an act his father does and then reconnect with the woman his dad
8:25 am

restaurant earlier this mop the three go fund me pages were set up for her. they raised more than $108,000. she said she did what anybody else would do in that situation. i don't know if anybody would. she said she felt very protective of them because it was one of the first time customers were allowed back in the restaurant after the pandemic and she said when she looks at the tape she gets very emotional. she can't believe her mannerisms. she couldn't allow anyone to be treated that way. with the money she wants to pursue her yoga teaching and figure out a way to pay it forward to other food service workers. she's terrific with a capital "t." >> wouldn't take it. a big tip came out of that. all right. we've talked a lot about the challenges of holding school during a pandemic. it's an ongoing conversation. the past few months as we know were not easy. here's how the students of one new york school celebrated when

>> i have to let people know we're all wrong about that common rule of thumb for how old your dog is. we say seven human years for every dog year. new study suggests that's dead wrong. researchers say it's much more complicated because dogs age at a rate that is quicker than humans when they are young and then catches up with us when we're orlando. they came up with a if you formula. this is the info graphic that will help you understand. basically a 1-year-old dog is actually roughly equivalent to a 31-year-old human. so that would be 31 human years for every dog year. but then when a dog is 5 it's a 57-year-old human. that's the equivalent. then you got about a ten year multiplier. then finally when the dog is ten that's when you get that seven year number. it ends up in the end but wrong in the beginning. so i guess the only takeaway,
8:34 am
old dogs still can learn nutrition, unfortunately, anthony. >> gayle? >> i'm confused. >> i'm confused as well. >> my mom told me one dog is equal to seven human years. >> i'll stick with that. i wonder what the science says about that. yeah. >> returning to the fight against -- we'll find out. returning to the fight against the coronavirus, scientist bill nye is urging everyone to wear a maverick. he says it literally is a matter of life and death. despite opposition from some americans. [ bleep ] >> get out of here. >> we see a lot of that these days. this woman's outburst at a california tradero's the intense feelings of a maverick. the governor sends mixed signals
8:35 am
about whether they should be mandatory. bill nye the science guy is with us from los angeles. he's the host of the podcast science rules with bill nye and he joins us. bill nye it's so good to see you. i'll take a page out of your tik tok and channel my inner bill nye where you say i want you to wear a maverick to protect me from you you're screaming and the particles from your respiratory system from getting into my respiratory system. and i saw that and i said you go bill nye. so when you see people that don't want to wear a mask because they think it's politics, or they think it's a hoax, you must want to gnash your teeth to powder. what do you think when you see this. >> it's the science thing that's so troubling. also everybody -- we have rules. that's how we run our society. you pay taxes on the whole road but you only get to drive on one side at a time. that's in everybody's best interest. there was a longtime where
8:36 am
people said we khanban cigarette smoking in restaurants, we'll lose business. it turns out nobody likes cigarette smoke in restaurants. very few people do. we ban it. now restaurant revenue went up. we can do this, everybody. wear a mask. >> you know what, bill, earlier we did a piece with doctors and nurses and one doctor said it's like running through a red light. i thought that was a very good analogy. you have a simple demonstration, experiment. that's what you do so well to explain why the maverick works. what have you got. >> what a mask does, it's doing two things. it's keeping you from breathing particles in the air but also keeping particles from you getting in the air to infect other people. so this is an n-95, we hear about these all the time. i bought this at a hardware store several years ago. i had it around for work in the
8:37 am
shop. can't blow-out the candle. similarly particles in the air very seldom get through this mask. here's a maverick made from two pieces of clot. this has a pipe cleaner in it. so some air gets through it not nearly as much. some masks aren't especially good at all. here's a cloth mask. not every cloth mask does the job. but in general a mask keeps particles from you to get in the air to infect other people. here's thing. the particles that are carrying the virus are droplets from your respiratory system, from your breath, from your nose and mouth. and so when they get in the air they don't fall-like pebbles they fall very slowly because they are so small.
8:38 am
if you are maple syrup and a popcorn kernel and you drop the popcorn kernel in maple syrup it falls but very, very slowly because the syrup is thick. same is true with particles from your breath when they get in the air. here's a laser pointer which i'll keep in using this remarkable clothes pin technology. when i put baking powder in the air you can see it here. you can also see the baking powder appear. it doesn't fall-like a rock. it stays in the air. so when someone breathes in your presence, it's very likely in a closed environment where particles can't blow away it will get inside you. this is not rocket surgery everybody. this is very much in your every day experience. please wear a mask. please. >> yeah. listen, you are preaching to the choir here. do you have any idea, bill, how long the particles last in the
8:39 am
air? say a person who has covid has been in the room and the particles are in the room. do you have any idea how long it lasts after they leave the room when somebody else walks in? >> how long it lasts? well, i would say certainly five minutes. we had a gal from m.i.t. on the pad cast who is a fluid mechanics expert and the fascinating thing is how far the particles go when you cough or sneeze and then how long they persist. certainly five minutes. one study had people waiting 45 minutes to enter the room. so the answer is once again absolutely without question it depends. >> what about wearing a mask -- we're running out of time i want to make sure we cover this. i see people wearing the mask but it's not covering their nose. why is that important to cover nose too in addition -- >> oh, man, if the nose is
8:40 am
exposed, you're not wearing a mask. why don't you just walk around spitting on me. what your talking about? you have to cover the nose. i mean this is -- that's my parent's remark many, many times. both parents. common sense is not that common. you can't count on it. >> common sense is not that common. what about outside? >> it's common sense. >> what about when you're outside and you're jogging or you're riding a bike and there's no one around should you still be wearing a mask? >> well i would say common sense terms probably you don't need to. but when someone is within ten meters, 30 feet or so put the maverick back up, put it on. if you can't breathe well enough with the mask on then do a different activity. slow down. we've all got to get through this, everybody. you can't -- we just can't say i
8:41 am
have the right to breathe and exercise in public and spit on everybody. we can't have that at least for the next several months. so let's do this. come on, everybody. we're all in this together. i know, gayle, you're doing important work. you're carrying on over there. >> i hear you. i don't think we can say this enough. i think you bill nye. a lot of people are watching you tie your bow tie before you went on the air. they said that's impressive. is that hard to do? not when you watch him do it. thank you very much. >> high, guys, it won't come untied during the day. when you get older you all will be wearing bow ties. >> before we go do you quickly have anything about the science of dogs ageing, is it seven years or more than seven years. any science on that, yes or no? >> i'm sure this new study is quite reasonable. i spent a lot of time talking with dogs. they certainly act like kids.
8:42 am
they don't always respond, you know. they act like kids when puppies and act like very thoughtful older people when they are older so it's none linear is very reasonable to me. >> thank you, bill nye. thank you bill nye, the science guy. yes, sir. >> thank you, gayle. >> okay, bye. dogs give unconditional love. thank you bill nye. we'll check in with a 9-year-old chess prodigy whose live story has gained the

this is a kpix 5 morning update. good morning, it is 8:55. summer being told to close again. it comes after a rise in covid- 19 cases and hospitalizations in santa clara county. this is where here salons and malls have been closed. they have reached a new high. there more than 6000 patients in california hospitals. of those nearly 2000 are in intensive care. we have learned the police department in berkeley was vandalized during a protest. it was spray-painted.

they made their way down martin luther king jr. way which was closed to traffic between alston and addison. no word on any arrests. a bit of a hiccup through marin county. 101 into long avenue has a crash. the good news is everything is to the shoulder and as far as delays goes, things are moving on okay in and out of marin county especially the san rafael area. if you are taking 101 s. was the golden gate bridge, here is a look at what you are in store for with a nice ride into the city. extra volume across the bridge but overall, at the limit. so far, the east commute is a lot better out of the east bay into the city. that sunshine inland this morning, with low clouds and mostly cloudy skies along the coast around the bay, thanks to the onshore flow. today is your normal mid-day high. low 80s in san jose and ven
8:57 am
in well many people have such a misunderstanding
8:58 am
8:59 am
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. 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.
