public health policy become a political battle, but there you have it. thank you, david. a unique way of bringing it home for us. let's go to south carolina. that's another place there's a stark divide over mask wearing. it's a particularly sharp there, in fact. south carolina reported more than 1800 new cases. that was just yesterday. and who is getting the blame? tourists are getting the blame for that increase. mark strassmann is in charleston, south carolina, where the streets are full of visitors already. how serious is the outbreak there? >> put it this way. they had to put up a sign in the heart of downtown to remind people, masks here are mandatory. this is upper king street, downtown charleston, an area known for its shops, bars and restaurants, southern charm and now the zip code with the highest covid rate in all of south carolina. health officials estimate more than 1 in 3 residents would test positive. summer heat, covid hot spot. and yet tourists often bare faced and shoulder to shoulder

crowd downtown charleston streets. >> you're not worried about it? >> no. >> reporter: blaze and david jorgensen and their family left phoenix to vacation in charleston. >> why would i be scared of it? it's like the flu so everyone is going to get infected. everyone's got it. we're humans. we live through this stuff. this is what our bodies are designed to do. >> reporter: epidemiologists disagree. south carolina has recorded more than 25,000 new cases over the last two weeks. despite the threat, governor henry mcmaster is pushing schools to reopen in september. >> we must reopen our economy. people must go to work. schools must have in-class face-to-face teaching so these children do not fall behind. >> reporter: by city ordinance in charleston, masking is not a choice. it's mandatory for anyone over the age of 9. the city just doubled fines for violators. $100 for the first offense. most people we saw wore one. not melissa dickinson from

southern illinois. >> we forgot them. >> yeah. >> but you feel okay about it? >> yeah. when we passed people, we just try not to breathe. >> reporter: another challenge, almost 140,000 american deaths into the crisis. many people see the covid scare as overblown. >> i mean, people die of stuff all the time. i don't know why i would change my life to be afraid of this. there's plenty of stuff to be afraid of. this is certainly not one of them. >> i talked to one clerk here on king street in an upper end clothing store. she had to tell a customer he had to put on a mask or leave the store. he got irate, stormed out. she saw the moment for what it probably was. an idle threat. gayle, we live in strange, contentious times. >> we really do, mark. i don't know what more we can say to convince people. it's a matter of life and death. it's not politics when it ghsco

to a mask. president trump's support has fallen while this pandemic rages on. and now he's shaking up his re-election campaign. the president says campaign manager brad parscale is taking on a new role. he's been replaced by longtime republican operative bill stepien. a new poll shows democrat joe biden leading the president 52% to 37%. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on this story. good morning to you. do you think this is likely to change the president's campaign strategy? >> good morning, gayle, and to everybody. cbs news has learned that advisers have told president trump he has to get more combative and political, which we have seen this week. but the president is not open to new ideas. and prefers to go off instinct. he also refuses to believe bad polling, even from his own team. parscale's demotion is just one of several recent campaign shake-ups. and sources say it was a long time coming. >> and his name is brad

parscale, and he is fantastic. >> reporter: brad parscale fell out of favor with president trump after he bragged that more than 1 million people had requested tickets to the president's june rally in tulsa. and just over 6,000 people showed up. >> we begin our campaign. >> reporter: the campaign turmoil comes as mr. trump is trying to distance himself from criticism of dr. anthony fauci. >> i get along very well with dr. fauci. i have a very good relationship. >> reporter: president trump insisted wednesday his relationship with fauci is fine. even though last week he accused the doctor of making lots of mistakes during the pandemic. and despite economic adviser peter navarro's scathing op-ed attacking fauchy in which navarro said he listens to fauci's advice only with skepticism and caution. >> it's a bit bizarre. they realize now that was not a prudent thing to do because it's

only reflecting negatively on them. >> reporter: fauci also said he was not involved in the administration's new order for hospitals to send their data on covid-19 directly to the department of health and human services instead of the cdc. hhs secretary alex azar argues the only difference is the platform that will be used to report information. >> there are concerns that the data will be politicized or kept from the public. how can you assure people that's not going to happen? >> hhs is cdc and cdc is hhs. this is something we should be celebrating, which is we're identifying a problem with our public health data infrastructure and we are solving it to get that information. >> reporter: in an interview for "instyle" magazine, dr. fauci told "cbs evening news" anchor and managing editor norah o'donnell he doesn't like being pitted against the president because he's an apolitical

person. when asked how long he plans to stay on the coronavirus task force, he said he doesn't plan on going anywhere any time soon. anthony? >> that's good news. weijia, thank you. twitter has revealed new details about one of the biggest cyberattacks on the social network. it believes hackers accessed its internal systems after targeting twitter employees. yesterday fake messages appeared on the twitter accounts of dozens of celebrities, politicians and billionaires, including barack obama, elon musk and kanye west. twitter's ceo jack dorsey wrote, tough day for us at twitter. we all feel terrible this hand. we're diagnosing and will share everything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened. anna werner shows us how the scam worked. >> reporter: the tweet from tesla and spacex founder elon musk seemed too good to be true. i'm feeling generous because of covid-19 i'll double any btc

payment sent to my btc account for the next hour. good luck and stay out there. the address posted right below. similar tweets appeared on the accounts of celebrities kanye west and kim kardashian west. politicians, former president obama and joe biden. and billionaires michael bloomberg, jeff bezos and bill gates. companies like apple and uber were also targeted. here's how it worked. the sophisticated scammers took over verified accounts and then convinced twitter users to send bitcoin, a digital currency that can be traded for dollars to a website and promised double the money back. within hours, twitter limited functions for all verified accounts and acknowledged the hack saying we are investigating and taking steps to fix it. >> it's a terrifying moment for twitter. >> reporter: nick thompson is "wired's" editor in chief and says the way the scam was executed, hacking into twitter r itself and not individual accounts, makes it stand out from others.

>> normally, when you see the scam, it's coming from the address of someone whose name you don't know. it's not coming from elon musk. >> reporter: thompson says hijacking verified accounts in an age when tweets make news could have disastrous consequences. >> now that so much of life happens on twitter, getting access to the most popular verified accounts means you can do near infinite damage. >> reporter: twitter is still investigating this hack. the big question, of course, who was the hacker? nobody knows that right now. but the company says it had locked most compromised accounts and would reopen them when it was safe to do so. tony? >> the big question is, who was the hacker? also what else may they have in the direct messages, for example, on the twitter accounts. anna, thank you. we're learning new details about the death of george floyd from new body camera video that has not been released for viewing by the public. it's from the cameras of thomas

lane and j. alexander kueng. those were the first two officers to arrive on the scene. they've been charged with aiding and abetting in the death of floyd. the footage has not been shown to the public for fear it could taint a jury. jeff pegues is following the investigation for us, though. what more can you tell us about the video? >> reporter: good morning. i spoke to a reporter at our minneapolis station wcco-tv who saw that video. and she says when the officers tried to get floyd into the back of a squad car, that's when the situation there really deteriorated. also, the body cam footage shows that one of the officers pulled a gun on floyd shortly after arriving on scene. floyd sounds upset and distraught and you can hear him repeatedly pleading with the officers not to arrest him. he tells them he's claustrophobic. when they attempt to put him into the squad car, you can hear a fearful floyd saying, i'm not a bad guy. the floyd family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the city of minneapolis and the

four fired officers. ben crump is one of their attorneys. >> we seek to set a precedent to make it financially prohibitive that the police won't wrongfully kill marginalized people. >> reporter: minneapolis city officials are reviewing that lawsuit, and they say that they plan to respond to it. also, the attorneys representing the rookie officers lane and kueng, they say that they want that body camera footage out there because they believe it presents a more complete picture of what happened that day. gayle? >> the picture we have so far is very painful and troubling. this just adds to that. thank you very much, jeff. ahead -- we'll hear from alleged jeffrey epstein victim, virginia roberts giuffre. it's her first interview since ghislaine maxwell was denied

morning."me back to "cbs this we are hearing from one of jeffrey epstein' alleged victims. her name is virginia roberts dufray. in her first interview since ghislaine maxwell was denied bail this week, maxwell is accused of helping epstein sexually abuse underage girls. this is the first time that maxwell has faced criminal charges in connection with epstein despite accusations against her that extend back more than two decades now. dufray claims maxwell along with epstein recruited, groomed, and abused her. she lives in australia now, married with three children. we talked to her yesterday. she told us that she thinks ghislaine maxwell should spend the rest of her life behind

bars. >> she is a monster. she's worse than epstein. she did things even worse than epstein did. she was vicious. she was evil, and she's a woman. >> reporter: her lawyers have said ghislaine maxwell is not a jeffrey epstein. that she has been a victim of media spin. >> they're doing their job, but i know that woman -- i've known her really well. put it this way -- epstein was pennacchio and she was -- pinocchio and she was gepetto. >> pulling the strings? >> yep. she had his money, he had her contacts. but ghislaine was more conniving and smart than epstein ever was. >> reporter: virginia roberts dufray says she first met jettison and ghislaine maxwell -- epstein and ghislaine maxwell when she was 17. prince andrew has denied an

encounter and it's possible the picture with his arm around her waist was doctored. >> is there any way you could have had sex with any young woman trafficked by jeffrey epstein? >> no. >> prince andrew should be panicking. he knows he's guilty. he needs to be held accountable. we need to show the world that the rich and the mighty can fall, too. >> do you think that ghislaine's life is in danger? >> absolutely. if she squeals on some of the people that she has videos on, they won't be happy with her talking about that. >> when you say she has videos or knowledge of videos that exist about people, people like who? people well-known names? >> very well-known names. you know, the government officials, the politicians, the royalty. you know, they were taping everybody every moment when you walked into the new york mansion

to palm beach. >> do you think people knew they were being taped? >> no, i do not. not at all. >> dufray alleges maxwell and epstein were blackmailing the wealthy and powerful. she said ghislaine maxwell's arrest made a charge in justice -- >> ghislaine maxwell helped jeffrey epstein sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls -- >> it was just surreal. it was momentous. one of those life moments that i'll never forget. >> reporter: virginia, how did you pete her? what was her pitch to you? >> i'm working at mar-a-lago, loving it. i'm working in the spa area. i was reading about massage, and that's when ghislaine came up and said, oh, my god, you're reading a book about massage. long story short, she told me that she knew of a man who was looking for a traveling masseuse, and if he liked me, i

would get educated and become a real massage therapist. so yeah, i mean, it was dream of a lifetime until i got there and the abuse was immediate. >> it has been reported that they would prey on young girls who were vulnerable. >> she could smell the vulnerability on a person. i told them a little bit about my past and how i'd been abused. so immediately it was like the cheshire smile is what i call it. i asked her, i said, why are you as welling all these girls come in and sleep with your boyfriend? and she was like, so i don't have to do it all the time. you know, she made like a joke out of it. >> why do you think she did it? >> she did it to keep jeffrey happy for sure. she did it because she loves the control over people. jeffrey was a sick pedophile. but she was the mastermind.

>> what wouldctims/survivors fe been robbed, this they did not their day in court. >> it would have been great to look at him and say, you know, you hurt me, you took away my innocence, you took away my youth. he took that away, too. i'm hoping we get to do this with ghislaine. >> does the gubuck stop with ghislaine maxwell? >> no the buck stops when every person is held accountable and our children are safe. not just my monsters but all the monsters. and we need everyone's help. >> maxwell has pleaded not guilty to the charges against her and denies wrongdoing. virginia roberts dufray's claims are not part of the indictment.

maxwell's attorneys declined to comments on her accusations. anthony, during the interview, i asked is she cooperating with investigators on this particular case. her lawyer intervened at that point and told her stop talking, do not answer that question. she says, listen, she's 36 now. she is afraid. she's very afraid. she admits that. she says the truth that she knows needs to come out. and you know, she has a great sense of humor, by the way. she said, "if i had to take a rubber boat and paddle from australia to the united states," she is planning to come to attend the trial. >> she's been very brave. >> very compelling. very believable. >> and has been very brave. the most -- she's come forward more strongly than anyone i think. it is interesting, something that you hear from many of epstein's survivors, gayle, this sense that epstein was a pedophile and was sick. but that ghislaine maxwell chose to essentially mastermind and run this entire operation of his. and they are -- they're very bitter about it.

all right. ahead, we'll take -- >> that is her charge. >> go ahead. >> i know the delay is tough. i'm sorry. and that is what gets her more than anything, the fact that she's a woman, virginia said, and preyed on young girls makes this doubly hard. not that it excuses anybody, but the fact that she's a woman makes this doubly hard because allegedly it gave victims, she said, a sense of security knowing that it was a woman. >> yeah. what is interesting is that many of the victims also say they are still fearful to this day, as you say, that she has said. ahead, we'll take you to sweden to find out what happened when the scandinavian country decided to avoid strict lock downs during the pandemic. we'll be right back. mornings wee for better things than rheumatoid arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz a pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis when methotrexate has not helped enough. xeljanz can reduce pain, swelling,

the country of sweden, one of the richest in the world, the one with free health care, often used as an example of good governance is now a cautionary tale for some because of the way it reopened in this pandemic. it took a totally different approach from other nations that quickly imposed lock downs. instead, sweden allowed its people to live largely as normal. now sweden's mortality rate is 30% higher than the u.s. when adjusted for population. elizabeth palmer went to stockholm to see what happened. >> reporter: the stockholm vibe is relaxed. stores and restaurants have stayed open throughout the pandemic. and so have primary and middle schools. how nervous are you now about catching coronavirus? >> not nervous. >> reporter: health officials believe just a few basic measures like limiting gatherings of over 50 would

sweden's outbreak is finally slowing from a peak of more than 100 deaths a day to the low teens. but in a couple of months, people will head back indoors where the virus could easily explode again. but so far, there's no sign the authorities are changing course, and that alarms epidemiologist nele brusselaers. >> if there is one country in europe where there will be a second peak, it will be most likely sweden because they're still not doing that much to really stop it. >> reporter: last month, sweends's prime minister a-- sweden's prime minister announced an inquiry into the break as polls began to show that public confidence was dropping. for "cbs this morning," elizabeth palmer in stockholm. >> ahead, vlad duthiers w

america's coronavirus crisis is getting worse. >> 41 states report a growing number of new cases. >> miami dade county, the most populated county in the state has reached their traditional icu capacity. they're setting up overflow beds, getting them ready. president trump's support has fallen while the pandemic rages on. now he's shaking up his reelection campaign. a demotion is one of recent campaign shakeups and sources say it was a long-time coming. new details about the death of george floyd from body camera video not released to the public. twitter revealed details about a cyber attack on the social network. >> twitter is investigating the hack. who was the hacker, the big question. >> a family's trying to fly from london to the u.s. their flights keep getting cancelled because of the coronavirus. they had to settle for this. >> they put their daughter in a

reported since the pandemic started. in atlanta president trump did not wear a mask while he was there to make a speech. after atlanta's mayor accused him of breaking the law because she put a mandatory mask ordnance in place. the governor brian kemp signed an executive order banning cities and counties in georgia from ordering people to wear masks in public. at least 25 other states have mask orders of some kind, and that includes a mandate in neighboring alabama that goes into effect today. the world health organization says most people with mild cases of covid-19 should be okay again within two weeks. but thousands of patients are experiencing serious physical and mental symptoms months after they've apparently recovered from the disease. they can include fever, vision problems, burning skin, exhaustion, hair loss, brain fog, and shortness of breath. it's unclear how common it is.

our doctor spoke with several people sometimes called long haulers. >> the ride home was amazing. >> reporter: this covid-19 survivor says the day he left the hospital was one of the best days of his life. >> reporter: did you feel you had survived, beaten this? or were you still having issues at that point? >> being if the hospital for so long, being in the isolation is really hard. i knew that my muscles atrophied. i could hardly walk. when i got out of the hospital, i felt like i got an opportunity. >> reporter: late march he was in the hospital were ten days with syrevere symptoms. he was put on a ventilator and put in a medically induced coma. months later, his battle isn't over. >> i still feel tired and have no stamina. >> it wasn't affect much, but to me it's like mt. everest.

disease. >> this covid-19 involves the brain, the nervous system. the skin. the kidneys. the heart. the lungs. the gi tract. >> reporter: it sounds like the message is just because you survived co-vid, you're not out of the woods. there may be lingering effects on multiple different organ systems? >> absolutely. patients may have lingering side effects that is not apparent yet, but it would be apparent a few years from now. >> i got sick march 16th of this year. i've never gotten better. >> reporter: amy watson tested positive with mild to moderate symptoms in april. she's tested negative three times since, but she's still in pain, has shortness of breath and memory loss. >> i've had a fever the entire time. >> reporter: she started a facebook support group with more than 6,000 members for long-haul covid-19 fighters like herself. >> we don't want to be

second-guessed. we want to be believed and we want doctors to tell us i don't have the answers but i'm going to help you find them anyway. >> we're survivors. we'll get stronger and beat this. hopefully in the years to come this will be a bump on the road and we'll be back to ourselves or even better. >> and dr. tara narula joins us now. the thing, the memory loss, brain fog, what are doctors learning about the mental, lingering mental effects of this? >> reporter: well, i'm glad you asked about that, anthony. many of these patients are going to face a second battle. that battle has to do with mental health conditions. experts have told us they expect to see an up tick in depression, a ang zity and ptsd. in patients in general who come out of the ciu, they're at risk, but these are patients seeing doctors in space suits without

that connection. they've been socially isolated from their family. and they're coming back into a world that's completely different socially and economically. and so even the patient that we interviewed in the piece, he said i think i'll recover physically. i don't think i'll ever recover mentally. he was diagnosed with ptsd and gave us examples about waking up with nightmares in a cold sweat. his two-year-old daughter playfully jumping on his chest while he was sleeping. he pushed her feeling the sensation of being suffocated again like when he was being intubated. important for families to know when their family members come home, they may be at risk for this. for doctors to be screening and very important for patients to know if they experience any of this to please speak up and speak to their provider and get help. >> yeah. all right, doctor, thank you so much. ahead, the latest fallout from entertainer nick cannon's antisemitic comments. his apology and reaction from the

their skin. >> they're the true savages, and they built up such this -- i don't want to say warrior, but they built up such this -- this conquering, barbaric mentality that they're coming out of europe, they then said in order for us to survive, we have to take what's not ours. >> reporter: he went on to explain why he believed jewish people ruled the world. >> when we talk about the six corporations, when we go as deep as the rothchilds, centralized banking, the -- the 13 families, the bloodlines that control everything, even outside of america -- >> reporter: those comments led viacom-cbs to cut ties with cannon writing, "viacom-cbs condemns bigotry of any kind, and we categorically denounce all forms of anti-semitism. while we support ongoing education and dialogue in the fight against bigotry, we are

deeply troubled that nick has failed to acknowledge or apologize for perpetuating anti-semitism." late last night cannon did apologize for his comments via twitter. "they reinforce the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people, and i feel ashamed of the uninformed and naive place that these words came from." >> these tropes about jewish people behind the scenes, manipulating events, are dangerous and wrong. >> reporter: jonathan greenblatt is the ceo of the anti-defamation league. >> the people who push out these prejudices or unknowingly repeat them need to understand their history, why they're so grotesque. and again, acknowledge the pain that they caused. >> reporter: anti-semitic incidents are on the rise in the united states. last year, a record 2,107 were reported, a 12% increase from the year before.

and recent n recent days celebrities have been criticized for their comments about jewish people. philadelphia eagles wide receiver desean jackson apologized for an instagram post where he attributed a quote to adolph hitler that read "jews will blackmail america." >> we're raised with a lot of prejudices, we're raise wednesday like inherent biases. >> reporter: jemele hill wrote about the anti-semitism we didn't see and describes her mistake covering a story for espn years ago. >> and the people that i wrote for espn that rooting for the celtics is like saying hitler was a victim. >> she was suspended for a week. >> it just taught me a huge lesson, and i had to understand from that that i had some blind spots, culturally, despite the fact i considered myself to be an educated person when it came to racial and social issues. but i think once we have enough self-awareness and certainly enough maturity where we can

know better and certainly do better, then it's our responsibility to do that. >> reporter: cannon says his experience led him to speak to rabbis and jewish community leaders. "i have had at least a minor history lesson over the past few days, and to say that it is eye opening would be a vast understatement," he wrote.

suddenly rams his kayak. he leaps out of the water. he says that the river was calm, listen to his breathing -- when he thought it was a fish, watch the alligator's coming, seconds later -- look at that -- the gator hit the kayak throwing joyce into the murky water. >> i was looking to the right when it all happened. so i kind of thought it was actually like a fish jumping to the left. and by the time i got spun around, it was about four feet away. >> joyce told "cbs this morning" the only injury he suffered was to his pride. tony, i don't even think he has to worry about his pride suffering. number one, the guy's a firefighter and a paramedic, so he's -- clear he he knows how to stay cool and calm under pressure. he looks cool telling the story. we're glad he's okay. >> yeah. and -- >> could have had a very different ending. >> i'm sure he knew there were alligators when he went kayaking there. i would have been -- seeing that video, he fell in the water.

48,000 times. >> wow. >> i just think -- they also want to stress, guys, that the couple and the photographer all took covid tests, and they all tested negati , want to put that out there. what i like so much about the story -- there's an intimacy in these photos, the way that they're touching each other, the way that they're looking at each other, that it's hard to believe that these two just met moments before this picture was -- whoa -- moments before the picture was taken. they got nice -- they got nice teeth. i mean, i just think, you know, who knows how this is going to turn out? who knows? i like how it's started. if it works out, they'll have a great story to tell. guess how i met baxter and heather -- >> i like that they planned three dates, not just the next one. they were like, let's go with three dates. we'll plan out the month. >> yep. >> great looking couple. you can tell there was a connection right away. here's my story -- the new york mets' opening day is next friday, a week from friday. fans are not allowed but can

still be there kind of. the mets announced a cardboard cutout program for $86. they will put a cutout photo of you in the stands at city field. cutouts are free for season ticket holders who renewed their packages for next year. the proceeds go to the mets foundation. when baseball resumed in south korea earlier this year, you may remember teams had cutouts of their fans in the ballparks, too. other teams are doing this. the mets are also -- sources say the mets are also going to be piping in crowd noise along with the cutouts of fans. i guess that probably won't include any booing i don't think -- >> are we aware of any confirmed takers yet? >> i would love to be able to be watching the game at home and see myself in the crowd. they say you can't pick your seat. that you can't do. >> that's problematic. >> i think that's fun. >> it's fun, you know. a lot of money. >> i think it's fun. and i wonder -- tony, i wonder, anthony, are you going to be okay? how you feel about the mets. we know more than anything you

[ cheers ] >> i definitely want to get us back into school safely. there are kids in unsafe places, and school is their safe place

to be. >> i want to see my students' smiling faces in front of the classroom. but do i want students to come back? i want them to come back safely. >> not all schools have soap, not all schools have portable water. there's a lot to consider when you're reopening buildings where hundreds of people are coming into contact with each other every day. >> i feel very uneasy returning to face-to-face instruction because i am putting my children at risk of contracting covid-19. >> going back to school is not going to mean going back to school the way we remember it being. we are going to have reduced class sizes. we are going to have distancing. unless they get close -- the less they get close to each other the better. everything is going to be different, and that is okay. >> let's talk about there -- >> the federal government, the city government needs to step up and invest in education and all the different guarantees to make sure that we don't die.

>> i have underlying conditions, and i'd like to support my students. but if i pass from this disease, i won't be able to support my students or my young adult children. >> we did not get into this profession for the money. we got into this profession because we love kids. while you're not there, we're there, and we want to make sure that they have the best environment possible before going back. ♪ >> dan domenech is the executive director of the american association of school administrators. he's leading a task force that is assisting schools around the country with their plans to reopen safely. he joins us now. good morning to you, sir. you know, the stakes could not be higher. we heard teachers talk about how it's a life-or-death choice, going back to the classroom. how are you advising schools to weigh the benefit of in-school construction against that risk that could really be

catastrophic? >> well, good morning, tony. and absolutely. we have been talking to superintendents from all over the country for the last couple of months trying to come up with how to reopen schools safely. and that is the primary concern -- safety. so we are concerned about the safety of the students but also the safety of the staff. so we have a number of plans, and you're seeing that happening right now in terms of what districts have announced is going to happen when school opens. there are three plans. the one is to come back as if nothing has happened which, by the way, some districts are considering. i don't know why. the second one is this hybrid model where basically students come in for a couple of days a week, then they're home, so this way you can try to get to all of the kids in the building. the third one, which we're also beginning to see, particularly in districts around washington, d.c., and other parts of the country, is that it's not safe yet. therefore, remote learning is

going to continue. safety is the primary factor. we're using the cdc guidelines primarily in terms of outlining for us what is safe. we want to make sure students are safe, and we want to make sure that staff is safe. >> dan, in the three categories that you outlined, i'm curious with the tens of millions of students around the country waiting for an outcome, who is in what category, and how big are the three categories? how many states and school districts might be going back with very few precautions? how many in the middle position, and how many not going back at all? >> it's interesting how things are changing. i can tell you that a month ago in talking to many of our colleagues along the southern belt states, at that point they were considering just opening schools. come one, come all. in many cases without any precautions in terms of spacing or face masks. that's beginning to change now. and we're beginning to see even governors in those states like kansas is an example, indicating

that face masks are mandatory. postponing the opening of schools. the prime thing here is you want to open schools according to what was phase two from the white house a couple of months ago. and that is when the epidemic, the rate of infection is going down, not going up. >> that's -- >> when you do that, that you have the social spacing and all the other precautions. >>yeah, there may be -- most states right now are either stable or going up in case counts. if we go by that indicator, i mean, most places are not going to open. i have a question from jessica in indiana, a viewer who also i believe is a teacher. she wants to know simply why are we even talking about going to the classroom at all? why sacrifice, in her view, the health of teachers and students and maybe families when e-learning is an option? >> it is an option. and you're seeing more and more districts doing that, announcing that, that they are going to open but remotely. the key thing here are the

conditions. the rate of the epidemic in that community. if it's going up, you don't want to open. if it is going down, if it's minimal if things are being -- stabilizing, then opening following the precautions listed by the cdc are important. the six-feet spacing between children, wearing of masks, and all of those factors. it has to be determined by the community. but it has to be when it's safe to open, not the condition we see in many states where the infection rate is sky high. >> yeah. if schools make the investment to change the environment and reopen and then they get a case, does that mean they shut down completely? what happens then? >> absolutely. that's what the guidelines say. if there's a case in the building, a student or staff or more than that, that building has to shut down. it has to be sanitized and has to be a period of time before the schools can come back. so you can almost predict that when schools do open, even with the safest of precautions, the minut

minute there's a case they'll have to shut down down. >> teacher of the year this past year, she says, look, we know things are going to be different. what can teachers do to help students feel like this is a normal year in some sense? >> well, you know what, i don't think there's any way you can help students feel that this is a normal year because it's not. but the reality is that these children, these students have gone through a lot of issues, stress, problems. and first and foremost, the teachers have to deal with that. they have to talk to their students. they have to make sure that they're comfortable. they have to hear their issues and problems. yes, there's been academic, learning loss. no question about that. but first and foremost, in addition to the safety and welfare of the students, is emotional status. and teachers do a very good job in doing that. >> yeah. they sure do. and we should remind our viewers that this is not a federal decision, it is a state and local decision right down to the level of the school district. dan domenech, thank you very much for walking us through your

positions. ahead in our "a more perfect union" series, from boarded up restaurants and empty streets to protests for social justice. how a photographer finds hope on a journey through america 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. 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.

our series "a more perfect union" aims to show that what unites us as americans is far

greater than what divides us. this morning, we introduce you to photographer brian bowen smith. that's a cool name. like so many artists and entrepreneurs, his business just dried up when the coronavirus hit. so that's when he decided to hit the road in his vintage truck to document a country under quarantine. so along the way he photographed the famous names you know -- there's reese witherspoon and the blended family of demi moore and bruce willis. as meg oliver shows, that's good but he also captured the spirit and soul of everyday americans. my name is brian bowen smith, i'm a photographer, and i traveled over 11,000 miles across the united states of america in my ford f-100 documenting what's going on during this covid crisis. and freeze -- good. >> as you were driving across the country, what does america look like during this quarantine? >> beautiful. but on the other hand, i was

seeing it empty with no one walking around per se. i was seeing it in a sad time, as well, with all these restaurants and the hardware store all boarded up. it broke my heart. >> reporter: to see these uplifting signs, as well. >> yes. >> reporter: you took a lot of pictures of smiling faces. there is a family in that pickup truck, the dad is holding his son and the baby in the back. >> almost everyone was so happy to see me. it did bring joy. this photo truly was a gift for everyone. he's positioned and he put his arms around his brother, and then his brother grabbed his hands, and i shot the picture. got chills. the doctors, you see the nurses, took off their masks for a second. you see the lines. they're like, i'm so glad you're doing this, and they start crying. thank you, new york.

coast to coast, we did it. >> reporter: what did you it learn from this journey about our country during a crisis? >> i think our country is coming together. the one dairy farmers we went to, it's literally like we won't make it. the neighbors from down the street were coming and helping the farmers and the family make things work. >> reporter: during a crisis, we see people unite. how does that feel knowing you captured the moments? >> it made me feel like we're going to be okay. i think that our country is super strong. our country doesn't want to go down. but our country also i think loves each other. at the end of the day they're going to bond together and do what we need to do. ♪ >> wow. thank you very much, brian bowen smith. we just saw a picture of common standing in front of a sign.

i always like color pictures, but all the photographers always say black and white really shows the power. you certainly see that, tony, looking at his work. so well done. gave me goosebumps. >> interesting to hear that he thinks we are coming together as a country. i guess when you're taking a black and white photo, you push out the noise, the color, you see things simply. sounds like good news if he thinks things are getting better. >> great idea to travel across the country and take pictures from a truck. >> i think so, too. >> very powerful stuff. you're watching "cbs tis morning." >> that kind of truck. >> yeah. that kind of truck. >> that kind of truck. can't say that it's a new shiny penny. yeah. nice -- yeah. >> all right. we'll be right back. stay with us. look, this isn't my first rodeo...
