next. have a great monday everyone. . good morning to you our viewers in the west. welcome to "cbs this morning". it's monday, february 1st, 2021. i'm gayle king with anthony mason and tony dokoupil. a massive storm is blasting the northeast. with nearly 80 million people under weather alerts. it's not only affecting travel but also the fight against the coronavirus. we go inside a hospital in one of los angeles' hardest hit communities where medical personnel are being recruited from the department of defense. >> given what you've seen in the war zone, how does this compare? >> i think there's a lot of similarities. >> why some nurses are only getting days to train. "60 minutes" reveals china

is tryrying to colollect amerir medical l data incluluding dna.. whatat this coululd mean foror privacy and our national security. and we have a big announcement from legendary singer tony bennett. his family breaks their silence on a secret they've been keeping for years. >> now they're ready to share. first, here's today's "eye opener," your world in 90 seconds. we're all really concerned about this winter storm bearing down on us. take it seriously. this is a dangerous storm. >> reporter: millions of americans brace for snow, fierce winds, and treacherous conditions that could last for days. >> without a doubt it's going to be the biggest storm in a couple of years. what a duration and huge amount of snow. >> reporter: republicans are calling for president biden to scale back his coronavirus relief package. >> we can't move forward with him, we'll have to do it on our own. >> reporter: a military coup has taken place in myanmar. >> the military has apparently

taken control for one year. [ chants ] >> reporter: police in russia detained more than 5,000 protesters demanding the release of jailed opposition leader alexei navalny. [ chants ] >> reporter: captain tom moore, the world war ii veteran who raised millions for a british charity during quarantine, hospitalized with covid-19. all that -- >> look at this dog hopping around, trying to keep his head above the snow. >> that is adorable. and all that matters -- >> a group made the best of the snow in d.c. with a giant snowball fight on the national mall. >> the event was put on by the washington, d.c., snowball fight association. sounds like a great association. i want to be part of that association. on "cbs this morning." >> we have all heard of snow angels. that's a snow panda. >> it is fun to watch pandas having fun. there they go. two pandas at the national zoo in washington, d.c., got to enjoy the snow. >> he doesn't need a sled.

>> having a blast in the snow. i can't decide which one i love better. the one rolling down the hill or the one going head first on his back. >> i like that. that's my favorite. come on. this morning's "eye opener" is presented by progressive -- making it easy to bundle insurance. >> i'm with her, come on, which one is better, the one with his head first down with his legs wide open. >> nothing cuter than a panda in any situation. >> can't lose with a panda. >> win every time. >> welcome to "cbs this morning," we are going to begin with that storm. you're looking at pictures from new york city this morning, you see it's really coming down, there are dangerous conditions throughout the northeast, including not just the snow, but also high winds, power outages, and flooding along the coast, oh, joy. but still, very much in the middle of this storm, which has already dropped more than a foot of snow in parts of the midwest.

mola lenghi is in wald well, new jersey. 78 million people are under a winter storm alert right now. what's it like where you are? >> we've seen circumstances inches of snow, still coming town with more on the way. of course that is derailing plans for in person schools, plans for travel, and perhaps most importantly coronavirus vaccine rollouts. now, officials throughout the region are urging people if you don't have to be out on those roads, stay home, don't go out. and states of emergency have been declared throughout the northeast. heavy snowfall blanketing new york city overnight is only the beginning for the region's first winter storm of the year. on the roads, cars tried to navigate the slick conditions from new jersey to maryland. earlier sunday, heavy snow caused major accidents, even leading a fire truck in virginia to flip over, injuring four firefighters. >> we ask that residents help us with our efforts by remaining indoors unless absolutely necessary.

>> reporter: baltimore mayor brandon scott is telling people to stay off the roads so the snowplows can do their jobs. and in new york city -- >> we could see ground blizzards and whiteout conditions with some of the extreme winds and the rate of snowfall being as high as it is. >> reporter: officials asked residents to do something familiar to them over the course of the pandemic, stay home. coronavirus vaccine appointments were canceled and rescheduled, setting back the rocky vaccine rollout even more. >> last thing we want to do is urge our seniors to come out in the middle of a storm like this. it doesn't make sense. >> reporter: over the weekend, parts of the midwest were inundated with snow. chicago's o'hare airport recorded nearly ten inches, its highest snow totals since 2015. cars struggled on the roads, and residents spent all day attempting to clear sidewalks. >> it is what it is. it's what mother nature brings us. we've got to deal with her. >> reporter: here in caldwell, new jersey, despite the snow, despite all this snow, today is not a snow day for schools.

instead, the district will have remote learning and the same is the case for schools in new york city, philadelphia and washington, d.c. >> one benefit of remote learning. thank you very much. for more on the path of the storm and how much climate change is affecting the weather, yes, even when it's cold outside, we're joined by cbs news meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli. jeff, good morning to you. >> reporter: hey, good morning. good morning, everyone. we are sitting and waiting on a blockbuster snowstorm. it is under way, but it's going to get fast and furious soon here in central park. so far we have six inches in total. probably 12 to 18. areas north and west will see a lot more snow. you can see convektive snow developing. we may hear thunder and lightning as bands move northward. today the heaviest around new york city, long island, into northern new jersey is going to be during the morning and afternoon hours. that will spread into new england as you can see. along the coast, that could mix with a little sleet and rain which would limit totals.

but inland, it is all snow, it's a prolonged event. some places could see 36 inches -- excuse me, 36 hours of snow and, yeah, it's possible some places will see over two feet. i doubt we will see three feet. it could happen in pennsylvania. look at that bull's eye near scranton, northern new jersey. that's anywhere from 18-plus inches of snow to maybe 2.5 feet of snow. there's going to be a lot of heavy snow especially northwest of new york city. okay. let's talk about what's happening, you know, why are we seeing this extreme weather across the nation right now. it started two to three weeks ago with a sudden stratosphere warning. above the arctic, about 100,000 feet above the arctic, we saw air temperatures warm about 100 degrees, and it all happened within around three or four days or so. so it warmed up really, really quickly. that throws the atmosphere off kilter. in addition, because of the human caused climate change the

atmosphere in the arctic is warming three times faster than the rest of the globe. everything is discombobulated, if you will. we end up with a blocky, squirrelly snake. the system in california got blocked and caused extreme rain and snow. this system is getting blocked here on the eastern seaboard, producing two-feet plus in some areas. also, climate change, a warmer atmosphere means heavier precipitation and so those blockbuster snowstorms. >> a lot going on the map. 36 hours of snow for some. we ain't seen nothing yet. the race to vaccinate americans against covid is accelerating as new strains of the disease spread around the united states. 32 states have now detected variants of the virus first found in the uk, brazil, and south africa, putting even more pressure on the vaccination push and on hospitals. david begnaud is in los angeles where officials are worried

about two confirmed cases in the city of the more contagious uk strain. david, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. they're worried about variants but l.a. was one of the hardest hit in the country even before we started talking about variants. here in east los angeles, 90% latino, a beautiful area, great food, good music. since november, in l.a. county, covid-19 deaths in the latino population have soared 1,000%. i want to say that again, 1,000% jump in covid deaths amongst latinos. this morning we're going to give you an exclusive look inside the community hospital here, white memorial on the front lines of the covid crisis but in there they have active duty military personnel working side by side with civilian doctors and nurses. >> can we do a quick huddle? >> reporter: wesley willard manages the icu here at advent

is health white memorial. this is one of l.a.'s hardest hit hospitals. >> the most difficult thing is knowing that we're caring for a patient that may not make. it even given all the best efforts. >> reporter: on his staff of more than 120, his first lieutenant, lanna bagwell. >> the strength of these nurses and health care professionals to do this day in and out is amazing. >> reporter: she is one of the roughly 20 medical personnel sent by the u.s. department of defense as a reinforcement to hold the line against the invisible enemy, covid-19. she's been on the front line, right here, for three weeks. how much time would you normally give someone to orient? >> if it was a new employed, employee, we'd probably do, with experience, probably four, four weeks with everything. >> reporter: and you got a shift and a half because time was of the essence? >> yes, sir. >> time was of the essence. >> reporter: adventist health since right in the middle of boyle heights, one of the hardest hit neighborhood in los angeles. willard says socio-economic conditions play a role in this. about a third of all the families living here make less than $25,000 a year. >> we have multiple families living in one home. they're not able to socially

distance. some of the stories that i've read, backgrounds of the patients, they're the sole breadwinners and they still had to go to work. and it's so unfortunate. >> reporter: this is in many ways ground zero. >> absolutely. >> reporter: willard himself is a west point graduate, a former army captain. he served active duty for five years, including one tour in iraq. given what you've seen in the war zone, how does there compare? >> i think there's a lot of similarities in the ability of our nurses to pull together, have that teamwork mentality. just like my soldiers did. >> i felt tremendous pressure because i didn't want to drop the ball. so i felt tremendous pressure to come in, learn everything i could, and really integrate myself and become part of the team. i think we accomplished that. >> reporter: it's incredible to think active duty soldiers working on the front lines deployed to community hospitals around the country. let's talk about the vaccine. here in boyle heights they're going door to door to give the

vaccine starting next week. a lot of people who live here don't have internet access, don't know where to go to find a vaccine center. and there are similar situations around the country like that. take new york city, for example. 24% of the population is black, 30% latino, and those groups account for just 11% and 15% of those vaccinated in new york city. take new jersey, it's even lower, 15% of the population is black, 20% latino, but only 3% and 5% have received vaccines. next week here in boyle heights they're knocking on your door, ringing your doorbell, we are here to give you the vaccine if you're willing to receive it. >> oh, boy, david, listen, the numbers are so low, they're so tough to hear and it's so important on this first day of black history month to get the word out. this is not a virus that you want to take any chances with. but i know people are afraid. so education must continue. thank you very much, david begnaud, always good to see you. senate democrats are making plans to pass president biden's sweeping $1.9 trillion covid relief package, with or without

republican support. a group of ten gop senators is proposing a much smaller measure, and urging the president to follow through on his promise to work with republicans. weijia jiang is at the white house with more on this part of the story. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, late last night those republican senators announced they would be meeting with president biden today, here at the white house. they accepted his invitation, which came after they sent him a letter outlining their proposal. but mr. biden has already indicated he is not interested in signing a watered down version of his own. with republicans offering less than a third of what he proposed for his covid relief bill, the president is signaling the time for bipartisanship is running out. >> i support passing covid relief with support from republicans if we can get it. but the covid relief has to pass. there's nof, a is, obur . >> reporter: late last night the white house

said president biden is prepared to begin action on his rescue plan after speaking with democratic leaders. he will meet with gop senators today, but the administration made clear the need for action is urgent, and the scale of what must be done is large. that large action has a $1.9 trillion price tag, and republicans are urging the president to consider a cheaper $600 billion package. among the key differences -- stimulus checks would provide $1,000 instead of $1,400. and recipients would be capped at lower income brackets. louisiana senator bill cassidy, part of a bipartisan group working on covid relief, slammed the white house for not asking for input while crafting the bill. >> if you want unity, if you want bipartisanship, you ought to start with the group that's shown it's willing to work together for a common solution. they did not. >> reporter: but president biden can get his plan through without any republican support using a process called reconciliation

which would only require a simple majority in the senate. vermont senator bernie sanders is confident democrats would stick together. >> it's hard for me to imagine any democrat, no matter what state he or she may come from, who doesn't understand the need who doesn't understand the need to go forward right ious

uncoupliling. ththank yoyou veryry much.h. >> thee milititary hasas tak controrol o of mymyanmar,r, onc as buburma, inn an apparent overnight coup. civilian leaders of the southeast asian country have been detained, including nobel peace prize recipient aung san suu kyi. ramy inocencio is with us from beijing. good morning to you. doesn't sound good. what's going on this morning? >> reporter: good morning. no, not at all. it very much is a country either suspended or frozen, for example international flights in and out have been canceled. banks have been shut. cbs news has been trying our hardest to try to contact people in the country for interviews, that has also been very spotty.

i did manage to contact an old friend of mine about 12 hours ago. he's in the former capital. he told me that there has been panic buying at markets and also people rushing to banks to try to get their money out. predawn healthy of military vehicles lit up the road to myanmar's capital. now detained, top civilian leader aung san suu kyi, the president, and their lieutenants. as people rushed to stock up on supplies, the military clamped down on communication. >> the money, the internet, the phone lines, mobile phone lines are cut off. >> reporter: this interview with a local filmmaker freezing up and dying. the military alleges election fraud in november's parliamentary polls. myanmar's election commission has rejected that. aung san suu kyi's governing party won in an even bigger landslide than before in 2015. the daughter of assassinated

general aung san, the 75-year-old democracy icon, spent 15 years under house arrest. peacefully protesting against the junta. in 1991, she won her nobel prize. in 2015 she rose to be the nation's top civilian leader, tying her reputation to the military leaders who locked her up. barack obama became the first u.s. president to travel to myanmar. kittics say she fail -- critics say she feailed address the genocide of rohingya. hundreds of homes were burned, calling it ethnic cleansing. nearly one measure have fled to neighboring bangladesh. aung san suu kyi fell out of favor with the international community but is still adored at home. and aung san suu kyi has called on the people to get out and protest, to push back against a return to authoritarianism and dictatorship. as you can imagine, around the world countries have been condemning what's happening in

myanmar. for example, the united nations saying that it is a step back for democratic reform. and the white house also weighing in, threatening retaliation. gayle? >> more to come on that story for sure. thank you. reporting from beijing. ahead, an explosive "60 minutes" report last night showing what could happen to the data from your home dna test if it gets into the wrong

next week. >> then when the snow does pile up, get out there, throw a few snowballs, have some fun. >> that's right. u.s. intelligence officials tell cbs news that china is trying to collect americans' dna in hopes of controlling the future of health care. "60 minutes'" jon wertheim talked to career specialist bill evanina and edward yu about how china is trying to collect americans' medical data and why this may pose a threat to national security. >> we have probably five or six health care companies the last five years who have been, i would say, penetrated, ex-filtrated, hacked by china. >> what's the likelihood you and i have been hacked by china? >> 110%. >> personal data? >> personal data. 80% of american adults have had all their personally identifiable information stolen by the communist party of china. >> reporter: the concern is that the chinese regime is taking all that information about us, what we eat, how we live, when we

exercise andnd sleep, and t the combinining itt w with ourur dn. with infnformation about heredi and environment, suddenly they know more about us than we know about ourselves, and bypassing doctors, china can target us with treatments and medicine we don't even know we need. >> think about the dawn of the internet of things and the 5g networks and smart homes and smart cities. there are going to be sensors everywhere. it's going to be tracking your movement, behavior, habits, and ultimately it's going to have a biological application, meaning that based on the data that gets collected, they'll be able to analyze it and look at improving your health. that data becomes incredibly relevant and very, very valuable. >> reporter: you're describing data almost as a commodity. >> data is absolutely going to be the new oil. >> and jon wertheim joins us now. take us into the future here. if china has all this information, 110% chance we've already been hacked, how worried should we be?

terrified? >> yeah. i think what intelligence officials told us is really -- it's two pronged. one is financial. that if china has all of this information that is so valuable, that's a huge financial benefit. china's been up front, they want to dominate biotech by 2025. the global sphere, $4 trillion industry, if you have a huge dna library, all the data that's incredibly value. the other threat is a national security threat. and just thinking about how much information another country has on us, think about how it could be used for surveillance, for instance. yeah, i mean, talking to the national intelligence officials we spoke with, they feel like this is an imminent threat, yes. >> jon, the flip side of terrified is there's something to celebrate here potentially. what's the concern if china calls up one day and says, hey, we've got your dna and watch out, there's trouble ahead for you health care-wise? >> yeah. i mean, there is undeniable benefit to this potentially. but one of the insuraconcerns i

china will end run the health care system. they will know so much about us and be able to target customers directly, hey, we know this about you, we know about your spending, your sleep habits, now we are able to combine that with the knowledge we have about your health data, your dna, they could cut out the pharmaceutical industry. they could cut out health care. and i think that having that exist offshore is something that concerned, again, the intelligence sources we spoke with. >> jon, it's not just the chinese, of course. i mean, there are american companies like 23 and me and ancestry which collect your dna when you give them information, hoping to find family members around the country. what's the potential risk of sharing that with them? >> i guess the most obvious risk is financial. your dna is very valuable. and people we spoke with say i'm not sure all americans understand that. you're providing for free something that has immense value for these companies and for their partnerships. then there are privacy concerns, these genealogy companies have been hacked, and a lot of this

is we don't know how this is going to go in the future. this is fluid space. this is -- this is a fast-moving sector, and what seems like fairly innocuous today may have a much more sinister implications in the future. be clear, too, there is undeniable good that can come out of this. this is where treatments and cures are going to come from in the future. the concern that was voiced again and again are people just don't quite understand what they're signing up for. >> we should point out that ancestry told "60 minutes" it does not sell data and any data shared is anonymous. 23 and me said the company does not share information unless customers opt in. but people, jon, a lot of people in this country are used to voluntarily sharing information in exchange for getting some service back. >> that came up in our reporting. the ceo of 23 and me said, look, 80% of our customers, they are signing in, giving informed consent for us to use dna, use their data for research.

and we had a number of bioethics, law professors, that were skeptical of that and said what you say. that we're used to hitting, okay, when we get that app, make that online purchase. that doesn't mean that we've necessarily read the fine print. do people know exactly what they're signing into? >> i think most of them would say they don't. jon wertheim, thank you so much. ahead, new support for russia's most prominent opposition leader and a new challenge to president vladimir putin. and a reminder, you can always get the news by subscribing to the "cbs this morning" podcast. hear the top stories in less than 20 minutes. we'll be right back. wow. that't's a low prprice. oh wow, ththat's a lowow pric. what?? ooooo, that's s a low prici. you'rere so good a at low pric. yeah.. circrcle back onon that latet. that's a l low price.. dan,n, you're ofoff mute budu. no, , no low pririce! - dodog lice? - low prprice! oh, that's's a low pririce! i'm gonna a get it!

backers of russian opposition leader alexei navalny are calling for more protests tomorrow to protest his jailing in russia. moscow police detained thousands of protesters yesterday. video shows several violent arrests and massive crowds protesting the rule of president vladimir putin. navalny was locked up when he returned to russia after recovering from an assassination attempt. charlie d'agata is following the story from london and joins us to discuss. can you tell, are the protests making a difference? >> reporter: well, they are making a difference because they're getting under president putin's skin, as we understand it. this morning, we've learned that navalny's spokeswoman may be placed under house arrest. one of several high-profile arrests in recent days. but it did nothing to discourage protesters from turning out. despite threats of jail time, by the tens of thousands, they defied government orders to stay off the streets for a second weekend in a row.

violent clashes breaking out, running street battles pitched against russian riot police determined to crack down on protesters by brute force if necessary. monitoring groups say more than 5,000 demonstrators have been detained, even more than in last week's protests. including navalny's wife, yulia, ordered to pay a fine of about $265 for taking part in demonstrations. the u.s. secretary of state condemned the persistent use of harsh tactics against peaceful protesters and journalists. the russian foreign ministry dismissed that as crude interference in russia's internal affairs, accusing washington of trying to destabilize russia. there have been demonstrations in the past, but these are different, says samuel green, director of the russia institute at kings college. >> a difference in tone and emotion. i think that the previous ways of protests were often about how

putin was running the country. whereas this protest is very much about getting putin out. >> reporter: a defiant navalny appeared at a court hearing last week accusing the kremlin of blatant lawlessness meant to scare him and his followers. he blames president putin directly for the novichok poisoning that nearly cost his life which putin's spokesman has repeatedly denied. tomorrow navalny faces another hearing which could see his suspended sentence turned into real jail time and the possibility of 2.5 years behind bars. tony? >> wow. charlie d'agata for us in london. thank you very much. ahead, vlad duthiers will bring you the stories on

vaccination against boredom. >> very good -- >> did i get a promotion? dr. duthiers. my mother will be calling, she loves the sound of that. not true. here are stories we think you'll be talking about -- today we're talking about the ramifications of conspiracy theories. an interesting story. a woman whose son died in the parkland, florida, high school shooting in 2018 says she is frustrated after speaking to congresswoman marjorie taylor greene. the georgia republican has been strongly criticized for spreading conspiracy theories. some of the backlash is over now-deleted comments she made on facebook in 2018 supporting a claim that the parkland massacre was a false flag event that didn't really happen. linda beigel schulman lost her son in the attack. she spoke with greene on saturday. she says greene told her she doesn't believe major school shootings were staged but refuses to say so in public. beigel was hailed as a hero for unlocking his door and letting

stuns in before the gunman killed him. his mother says the dishonesty is disrespectful. >> these demeaning my son's memory and the memories of all the children from parkland and sandy hook, and it's wrong. there is nothing to gain by making up stories, especially at the expense of people who have lost their loved ones. >> that's important right there -- >> i don't understand the strategy. especially if you've met or talked to any of these parents who have been in the newtown school shootings, the parkland school shootings, the pain that they are feeling and still feeling, i don't understand her strategy. >> if you take it at face value, the strategy is political. it got her elected to office. i mean, the question here is do you want your representatives to be a mirror of the worst part of your community, or do you want them to lead. that's the dynamic here. >> it's bad enough if she actually believed this to be true. if she doesn't believe it and is just using it as a political strategy, that's -- >> that's almost worse. >> yes. we should point out, scott beigel was a geography teacher

who was shot and killed after unlocking the door to his classroom so kids could come hide from the gunman. and his mom says that greene has no right to negate his heroism. >> clearly she thinks the thought is in her community and she's representing and doesn't feel she can't. the problem isn't her necessarily, it's her decision to represent something that's already out there. you got to root this out more deeply. it goes -- it's a deeper story than just the conversation. >> we reached out to the congresswoman's office, we haven't heard back. the fact that she told mrs. beigel privately that she doesn't believe this but won't say it publicly, that's -- >> i wonder if she'll admit she said. that more to this story for sure. all right. we love captain sir tom moore. we've profiled him several times on "cbs this morning." he captured hearts around the world for raising money to fight covid-19 in britain. now captain tomb is battling t virus. he was diagnosed last week and was sent to the hospital because he needed additional help with his breathing.

his daughter says the 100-year-old is not in intensive care. of course, we remember sir tom walked 100 laps in his garden. he raised $40 million for britain's national health service. queen elizabeth knighted him for his fundraising efforts last summer during a ceremony at windsor castle. >> i remember that. >> right? a young 99 years old. >> with the queen and the sword. >> i'm going to take it as a good sign that he's at 100 and not in intensive care. >> world war ii vet, we're with you, captain tom. >> we are. forget building a snowman. this 3-year-old from chicago had other plans to enjoy the snow. watch this. ♪ ♪ let it go let it go ♪ ♪ can't hold it back anymore ♪ >> leaving you with a song on your lips. that's little raya channeling elsa belting out words to "let it go." even dressing the part. you can see her brother behind

>> first here's today's "eye opener" at 8:00. >> it is a monster storm that a lot of people are dealing with dangerous conditions including not just the snow but the high winds. >> we've already seen about 6 inches of snow. as you can see it's still coming down with more on the way. we are sitting and waiting on a blockbuster snowstorm. it is under way, but it's going to get fast and furious soon. >> this morning an exclusive look inside the community hospital here which is on the frontlines of the covid crisis. in there they have active duty military personnel working side by side with civilian doctors and nurses. >> republican senators announced they would be meeting with president biden today here at the white house after they sent him a letter outlining their proposal. but mr. biden has already indicated he is not interested in signing a watered down version of his own. six seconds left, tap, to the blazers, loose ball to

of tennessee all the way up the east coast maine this morning. meteorologist and climate specialist jeff berardelli is in new york city's central park. good morning, again. >> good morning, tony. tell gayle i am like a kid in a candy store out here. >> i know. >> i mean, it really is coming down now. finally, about two inch an hour rate so it's going to snow like this pretty much through the afternoon. probably at least another eight to ten inches on top of the six inches we have in total 12, to 18 inches of snow. let's take a look at the radar and show you what we got. developing coastal low producing convective snow. those are the really heavy snow bands making their way towards new york city, long island, new jersey. this is what we expected. so as we head through the day that snow is going to progress through the north and the winds will pick up. gusts 45, 55 miles an hour around new york city, blizzard like conditions, but look to the east towards cape cod, 65, 75-mile-an-hour wind gusts, hurricane-force wind gusts,

piling water against the coast, two to three feet of coastal flooding in total, snowfall totals two feet in the poconos, lower hudson valley of new york. >> gayle knows you're excited. >> yes. >> it comes across. >> yes. >> i'm curious, when was the last time new york city got this much snow from a single storm? >> so 2016, the snowiest storm ever for new york city but what's interesting is climate change is changing our snowfalls in the northeast because it's warmer, which means two things. we have more energy, more juice for these storms so the storms are bigger. six out of the ten largest snow storms in stork city history happened since 2000, but some of the least snowiest winters have happened. it goes hand in hand. you get bigger snowfalls but less of them. so expect blockbuster snowstorms to continue for a while. eventually it will get so warm probably those will change to rain storms in the meantime we have a happy camper and a meteorologist and a very big

snowstorm in the tri-state area. >> go make some snow angels. we appreciate it. he's down and doing it. >> ask jeff how old is he? >> how old are you? 10? >> 7. >> that's what i thought. >> a tall 7. >> i got it. i get it. >> jeff berardelli, a little too enthused in central park. the massive winter storm is slowing down efforts to distribute the coronavirus vaccine with some areas shutting down vaccination sites. last week one hospital in seattle faced a different type of challenge forcing a mad tash to use 1600 doses before they went bad. jonathan vigliotti shows us the staff's quick reaction after a refrigerator broke. >> reporter: more than 1,000 people some even in pajamas lined up to get a shot of the coronavirus vaccine. after a refrigerator holding 1600 doses malfunctioned thursday night threatening to

spoil the whole batch. >> i called in a few nursing leaders. 30 minutes later we're all on-site and gearing four a mass vaccination effort. >> reporter: it was a frantic scramble to get as many vaccinated as possible including those who are not high priority. it's a mad dash playing out across the country. doctors trying to vaccinate people with excess doses before they expire. in oregon health care workers transporting vaccines got stuck in a snowstorm and they knocked on car windows and delivered doses to as many stranded drivers as they could. >> we want to do everything we can notes to waste any doses. >> reporter: washington state health department dr. umair shah says it's critical for statewide systems to work in emergencies. >> these s systems are really working around the clock to make sure that they coordinate and at the end of the day if you have an urgent situation in the middle of the night we have a way to transfer or able to handle that situation. >> reporter: he says

infrastructure is vital but according to a recent report from pro pub ply ka, the system for tracking any vaccines spoiled or thrown out nationwide has fallen short with reporting rules not reliably communicated to vaccine providers or regularly enforced or wastage numbers not reported to the public. dr. shah says last week's hustle showed good communication at the state level can save doses when accidents do happen. >> we coordinated throughout that system of local health care to the local jurisdiction and obviously to the state health department and none of those doses were wasted. >> good. nothing was waste. that was jonathan bvigliotti reporting. ahead tony bennett's loved ones reveal a secret they were keeping. why they're breaking their silence now in an "aarp" magazine story. how they hope it will h

or o online at flooraranddecor.cocom welcome back to "cbs this morning." time it bring some of the stories that we call "talk of the table." and tony is in pole position. >> very good. i want to tell people about something that they would otherwise miss if we didn't talk about it on shows like this one. so new york city has created a powerful tribute to transit workers who died from the coronavirus. these are portraits of the workers, and you'd miss it because they're being displayed inside subway stations. people aren't commuting now, visitors to new york way down. what you would see if you went down there is what you see your screen now. it's images shown alongside a newly committed poem called "travels far" by the former u.s. poet laureate tracy kay smith.

it is a nine-minute video. i encourage people to look up the whole thing on line. it is part of the beginning of there sort of public mourning process that recognizes the scope and scale of the loss from the coronavirus. time is felt like it's on hold, and we haven't had a moment to mourn. the numbers keep going up, we don't pause. >> yes. >> i love this as something for new york. but really as an indicator for the whole country that we need to begin to think about the true loss here. >> yes. >> i think these gestures are really important. like what president biden did when he went to the mall. we haven't had a moment to mourn as a country collectively. and i think we've missed that. and i don't think we even realize how much we miss it until we see things like that. >> scott pelley did it beautiful oh "60 minutes" last night. >> so good. >> he talked to different families. most people don't forget, these are real people behind the numbers. to see the effect it's had on the families was tough. >> yeah. i'm up next. this past weekend as you may recall was supposed to be grammy

weekend. but legendary music producer clive davis, who always hosts an exclusive pre-grammy gala that's packed with celebrities, he went ahead and held a virtual party. he held a five-hour invite-only webcast on saturday. the guests included rod stewart, chance the rapper, jamie foxx, john legend. and he chatted with bruce springsteen. >> and i sat on the beach with my notebook i think and my surfboard. i wrote "blinded by the light" and "spirit in the night." and i would not have those two songs if it wasn't for clive davis saying, "man, we need something we can play on the radio." >> clive was running columbia records when bruce signed his first record deal in '73. they go back a long, long way. it will be -- clive had to have his party, had to have his party. he'll have another when the

grammys actually happen in march. >> i wondered, anthony, how he was going to pull there off. i went to the party. he started with -- started with frank sinatra because he pulled up concerts that he liked and ended with beyonce. and in between had all the names that you mentioned. it was so surprising that bruce would perform and then bruce would pop up. john legend would perform and then -- it was very well done. you could see the artists' love for clive and clive for the artists. >> if anybody could pull that off, clive could. you can watch the 63rd grammy awards on march 14th now here on cbs. >> i hear he's having another party. >> one more. mine, i'm so excited about this. i am bursting. i'm glowing. i've been wanting to tell you guys this news since i came back from christmas break, but favorite daughter kirby would not allow. she's so picky. she wanted to teller this friends first before i -- teleher friends first before i tell the audience. i have a favorite daughter, favorite son, now favorite son-in-law. there he is. virgil miller is his name. they got married -- >> i like that kirby and virgil.

great. >> their code name is virby. it was a very -- talk about socially distanced wedding. it was at oprah's house at the santa barbara bureau. it was tough, though, because will and i were not allowed in the house. there were four of us, me, will, her brother who performed the ceremony because he's licensed to do so. me, will, oprah, stedman, kirby, and virgil. but because she's very strict with covid, will and i were not allowed in the house. i didn't get to zip up her dress or help her. i knew oprah covered that. i knew she was in good hands. it's tough to see your daughter get married and you can't hug. >> really tough. >> that was very difficult. they planned a big wed flooding 2020, but -- wedding in 2020, but covid had other plans. rather than wait, they decided to have a small thing in december. and then we'll have a big shebang sometime down the road. >> congratulations kirby and virgil and gayle -- >> i'm a mother-in-law! >> a mother-in-law! >> what kind of mother-in-law am i going to be? am i going to be one of those

intrusive mother-in-laws? no. >> i think you'll have a few things to say. >> we picked out wedding dresses on zoom. we did -- looked at wedding dresses. found that dress like three days before the wedding. thank you, ann taylor, for help. she's so happy. it's nice to see your child glowing. and i'm still smile being it. >> nothing better than when your child is -- >> really isn't. i'm glad she finally let me do it today. thank you, kirby. thank you, virgil. very, very excited. >> congratulations to everybody. >> yeah. today marks the first day of black history month, a time for celebration and education of african-american culture. authors ibram x-kendi and keisha blain are releasing a new book called "400 souls: a community history of african america 1619 to 2019." the anthology features essays from 90 writers and poets who each focus on a specific period of time. keisha blain is an historian and professor at the university of pittsburgh.

and cbs news contributor ibram x-kendi is the founding director of the boston university center for anti-racist research. they join us first on "cbs this morning." welcome to you both. congratulations. thank you so much for being here. ibram, let me start with you. this as i pointed out, has 90 authors. a variety of voices, why was it important that you use so many authors? >> well, in 2018, i was thinking about what would be the best way to commemorate this 400th birthday, symbolic birthday, of black america, this community. and as an historian, of course, i was like, well, let's write a history book. but then the more that i thought about it, the more i realized, well, why not bring together a community to write the history of a community? and so of course i had to reach

out to professor blain, who was willing to partner with me, and we were able to do that, bring together an incredible community of writers to write a history of a community. >> keisha, you say that you wanted to challenge the idea that the black community is a monolithic community. >> yes. i think this is so important because, of course, we may look similar, but we're not the same. there's so much diversity of thought and diversity of experiences. and even diversity of backgrounds. and it was important for us to represent that richness and complexity in the way that we told the history in "400 souls." >> you know what i thought was interesting -- number one, thank you both for having short chapters. makes it -- it was such a great read because you could zip through it very quickly. i thank you for that. number two, there were so many stories i didn't know. hugh davis stuck out to me. was a white man who was beaten because he had slept with a black woman. and that was an interesting

twist in what the stories that we've been told in the past. why did you include that, profes professor? >> gayle, it was an incredible essay by -- >> you're both professors, sorry. go ahead. he was beaten for dishonoring whiteness and nothing happened to her. go ahead, professor kendi, first. >> i was going to say quickly the piece was incredible. but i think it really speaks to how old racism is in what later became america, and even how old black women have been sort of devalued in america. >> yeah. that was in 1630. i liked, too, professor blain, where you said "i am my ancestors' wildest dreams." that is absolutely one of my favorite sayings. why is that so powerful? >> it's so powerful because it speaks to all that i think we've

overcome, certainly as individuals. but even collectively as black people. because certainly if you look back at the history and you reflect on even the time period that we're discussing now, you would really have to marvel at what black people have managed to accomplish given the experiences of slavery, jim crow, and the continued challenges of racism and white supremacy. >> keisha, another story that i think is not familiar to a lot of people is about maria stewart, a feminist and an abolitionist in boston in the 1830s. why did you choose to include her story? >> her story is so powerful because it resonates with the present in many ways, especially when we think about, for example, the black lives movement, we think about the courageous three black women who founded the movement. and we saw just in the last couple of months with the uprisings how black women have played such a pivotal role in

shaping american politics. and the story from the 1830s helped us recognize that this is certainly not a new phenomena, that black women have been leading for a very long time, and shea have been asserting -- they have been asserting their voices and demanding rights for themselves and also demanding rights for everyone. >> and as we mark black history month, it always sticks in my craw that it's the shortest month of the year, but that's another story. what do you want people to know? what should we take from this month as we honor and observe and celebrate? professor kendi? >> well, i think this history book really demonstrates that there are so many individuals, historical figures, that we should continue to revere, but we should also not forget those ordinary black folks who have been part of this longer struggle. so we were very keen on bringing in stories of everyday black folks who -- who strove to be free throughout the course of the history.

>> i like to think of it as american history. professor blain, you want to take us off -- american history, i think. >> it's really important to remember and just reflect on the strength and resilience of black people in the united states. as people read the book, they'll see the challenges that black people face. but just the way that they found -- they were able to overcome those challenges and the way that they were able to move things forward and really to make the nation a better place for all of us even though the work and the struggle still continues. >> thank you both. the book shows that black people never stop dreaming or fighting for their dreams to become a reality. and certainly some of that continues today i'm going to hold up the book if you don't mind. ibram x-kendi and keisha blain. we thank you both.

by the felnfl to help with a su bowl-sized problem. >> we had the challenge of do we fill the stadium with cutouts, do we play in a half-minute stadium? what is socially responsible as far as the amount of fans that we can allow? >> reporter: the answer -- a bit of both. alongside the tens of thousands of real fans who will be socially distanced inside raymond james stadium will be these plastic recyclable cardboard-like cutouts, submitted from football fans around the world. they're all created here in arizona, and all part of the nfl's program called "fans in the stands." for $100 per cutout, fans uploaded photos on line with all proceeds going to charity. >> i think we'll be producing between 20,000 and 30,000 cutouts for the super bowl by the time it's done. every single one of these are actual people from all over and it's cool to see almost everybody is smiling. just the concept that they're going to get to be at the game. >> reporter: just like their living counterparts, the cutouts

started showing up in tampa this past weekend. >> look at that. >> reporter: minnesota viking matt birk. did you know i'm a vikings fan? >> i did not know that. we opened it -- >> reporter: jason baker is director of execution for blue media and is responsible for installation. >> we'll have basically seven-day install from now until the 6th. all the way up until saturday night. game time on the 7th, then we tear it out on the 8th. >> reporter: by this morning, blue media tells us they will have nearly half of their cutouts already installed. and they're being specially grouped including sections for military veterans, health care workers, and cancer survivors. >> one of the cool stories once we installed those, we saw 30, 35 mile-per-hour winds. and the fan cutouts were moving a little. at first we were concerned. when you step back, it kind of looked like the fans were cheering. was cool. >> reporter: no one's liking the fact that we're in the middle of a pandemic. is this is a way to make it fun? >> how do we come together as a

community, both celebrating fans and honoring heroes? this is a great way to do it. so we're excited to be a part of it. >> reporter: we made sure they put in a special addition to the production order. look who's going to be at super bowl lv this sunday. >> yay. >> i love it. >> wow! never been thinner. now is that a -- >> can i please have it after the super bowl? i will so take care of that. i don't have one of those. that's great. thank you. >> i love it. i've never been to the super bowl, so -- >> thank you -- >> reporter: we've got a couple of extra. we'll ship them to you. >> please do. >> reporter: we'll get them to you. >> thank you. appreciate it. all right. and you can watch super bowl lv on sunday, february 7th, right here on cbs. >> yay. >> we like saying that. we'll be right back.
