we reached out beyond harvard to include m.i.t., the university of massachusetts, tufts, boston university, various institutions like the gaetz medical institute, hundreds of scientists have come together to fight this virus. and i think it speaks to the extraordinary commitment of the scientific community. now, i don't think we are ready to disband any attempt to control this virus. this virus is going to be here for a while. and it needs national leadership. so i am concerned that a coronavirus task force would be disbanded at this time. we are not beyond the crisis. this virus will percolate in our community until we have developed what is called herd immunity, where a significant amount of the population has been exposed or are immune, or a vaccine. and i hesitate to be pessimistic, but we are going to be dealing with outbreaks of this virus for the next year or more. so, no, i don't think we should be disbanding the coronavirus task force. we need national leadership, we need spokespersons like dr. birx, dr. fauci, to give the country the information, the evidence-based policies that

me now is a former supreme allied commander and also spent five years as dean of fletcher school at tuftsniversity outside of boston. it's that context where you have been advising a number of universities and colleges. what is your advice for how it's possible to have on-campus learning with dorm life, some have greek systems, colleges, sororities, how do you keep a social distancing and monitor it? >> first of all, recognize it's going to be a hard problem. but what i have been telling presidents and deans i have been chatting to about this issue, andrea, is number one the good news is you've got a young population that will be reasonably capable of resisting this. but you've got to have plans to deal with outbreak. number two, communicate, communicate, communicate. that's not just to the students who are coming. it's also to the faculty who are much more vulnerable to this. you've got to get that faculty on board. number three, what you alluded to, different exiles are going to take different approaches here. you did not mention, for example, oxford university in great britain, one of

. >> at an event at tufts university, cyntonia brown long talked about her journey from prison. >> thereere several adults i was around put in the position of being adults. i was a child. so, i had grown women teaching me my body was a commodity. it was a means to get things from men and it was completely accessible to expect things in return for my companionship for and things of that nature. i was told my entire existence revolves around pleasing a man in some form. i was 13 when they started teaching me these things. that is really what started me on the trajectory to being more vulnerable to being exploited. i was told these things were normal. so my world had been reshaped to think this is how relationships work. this is how relationships between men and girls, i was a silly girl i was not a woman, that's how this goes some of the time i met a man who convinced me that we were in a relationship and part of this relationship meant i would gotta have with other men and bring the money back to my thought was normal. the society i was in at that point did not call me a trafficking victi

so he plans to play football and lacrosse at tufts university in boston. you can let us know about a graduate in your life like tear it congratulations. i have to do is go to kron 4 dot com find salute to grads 2020. it's going to be right under the news tab. that's where you submit your picture. let us know what high school graduating from and >>welcome back everyone, thanks for staying with us kron 4 has been honoring people doing great things in the community during this public health crisis and we sure have and this morning we're shining the spotlight on brian jones. he is the principal of elementary school that's in brentwood now for the past several weeks principal jones along with 5 other staff members have been delivering meals to more than 40 families. >>people who live too far from school and can't afford to drive into town each day to pick up food now in each delivery, the families will get boxes of food to last them at least a week. >>this is a great idea and much needed so you can spotlight, someone making a difference like this i have to do.

that you know, you have mass general doing that, you have brigham and women and other great hospital, tuftsing so many great things, it's amazing. we have about 9200 cases of coronavirus in boston. about 300 people have lost their life and i think that if we didn't have these great hospitals in boston, i think more people would have lost their life. >> mr. mayor, where do you think boston and massachusetts is on the curve of this? you just recorded, the state recorded a record number of deaths. >> yeah, you know, i think we're still in the curve. we haven't seen at least in the last five days here in boston a leveling off. we're still averaging about 200-plus cases a day of coronavirus. got people testing positive in the commonwealth of massachusetts fluctuated between 1500 and 1900 in the course of a day. i still think we have a bit of a hill to climb here to see a plateau. and there's a lot of work. we're doing a lost work about explaining social and physical distancing and explaining to people the importance of washing your hands and covering your face. but it seems like we have the plat

william hartman of the university of wisconsin, and nicole bouvier of mount sinai, and andreas klein of tuftsso people get into action mode when there is a crisis. >> reporter: dr. joyner led the charge. he worked with the f.d.a. to get more hospitals on board. >> we just got up every day and kept pushing. pushing, pushing, pushing. >> reporter: within weeks, patients were being treated with convalescent plasma. dr. klein said what could have taken months or years happened quickly. >> it is unprecedented, and really inspiring. >> it is unbelievable. i've never seen anything like this. >> reporter: dr. musser's team was among the first to treat covid patients with plasma. >> i view this as an old-fashioned barn raising. we'll get this done. >> reporter: it may be just a stop-gap measure until more treatments and a vaccine come along. >> i think it will be part of a cocktail, and hopefully it paves the way for a vaccine. this is thein of >> reporter: and this feels good to dr. hartman, who treated patient lona towsley. what do you think you'll tell your children or grandchildren about this extr

she's the dean of the fletcher school at tufts university.posts including the world bank group vice president and special envoy for climate change, leading efforts to shift its operations and campaign for the paris agreement. we see with this lockdown, due to coronavirus, is unprecedented. can we have the best of both worlds going forward and do we have to decide between the economy and safety? i think that most economists and most business leaders and a number of financial leaders think that there is a way to walk through this particular moment and balance the needs of the planet and our own human health. with the needs of restarting the economy. what we're seeing is that energy demand has come all the way down and transport demand. we are not flying or driving. there are less ships moving. 0ur energy demand has come down as well. will be seen as in the cities where there are may be power pla nts cities where there are may be power plants inside city limits, their energy demand has come down further than their admissions than a city where th

when i was dean for five years at tufts university, i used to say to the faculty there is another namers. and you've got to respond to that demand. if you are oxford or cambridge, i guess you can sort of say, yeah, we'll do it online for a year. if you are a small to mid-sized school in the united states, you are very tuition dependent, your students want to come. that is what they are paying for, so deef hamand is driving . and the population is relatively young. we're seeing that this is probably the strongest health-wise cohort in the population. kind of between young children who may get this secondary disease and the covid risk portion which is obviously in my age group. so i think number two is that you've got a pretty healthy population. and number three, and this is crucial, the universities want to teach. their faculties want to teach. they want to keep them safe, but they are exploring hybrid models that i think include some online component, some speed up the timing of the class so that the students do get home by the thanksgiving break and you don't bring them all back. and

alan turring's contribution compare with the spies in the polish code to crack -- >> well i wouldn't tuft alan turring with a dead letter drop or even the right kind of hat. he didn't wear a hat. fellows wore hats all of the time. so wear a hat and you can't be a proper spy, can you. clearly. so it's really hard to compare the contributions. there is lots of -- without this, then it is difficult to imagine how the next stage. so without the old-fashioned spying being done by rex and schmidt and the bathroom photography of bertrand, would the pols have actually made their breakthrough in the 1930s, it is possible but reefski said he was helped by giving the operating instructions given to him and he said later in life he thought he could have figured it out without the operating instructions. so maybe that wasn't as crucial but we know it was in the chain of causation. would the brits have got there without the polish contribution? i think they would have done. again, they were capable of doing the mathematical analysis once they hired the mathematicians. so they were ten year as head of t

the babies were transferred to the nicu at tufts medical center.would be two more weeks before she could hold her babies. >> i'm just happy to have them. i can't imagine i'm going here. >> reporter: the twins heneeded help breathing and eating. but associate medical director dr. jacqueline boulet says they have made incredible progress. >> it's so rare for twins to be discharged on the same day when they're born ten weeks early. they're both getting out of here four weeks their before due date. they're pretty remarkable. >> reporter: this family who also has a toddler at home is looking forward to the future. >> amazing miracle. >> reporter: grateful to have their health and each other. nancy chen, cbs news. >>> "cbs this morning saturday" will be right back. there are times when our need to connect really matters. to keep customers and employees in the know. to keep business moving. comcast business is prepared for times like these. powered by the nation's largest gig-speed network. to help give you the speed, reliability, and security you need. t

you can change your ak tuft. so, don't hug and kiss and share utensils. that reduces risk too.ng out, takeout is safer. if you're going to be sitting in a restaurant, ideally sit outside. spend less time, maybe 20 minutes, 30 minutes, not an hour. that changes the time also. we get a lot of questions from grandparents about whether they can see their grand kids and there's the idea of pooled risk. so, families that all have low risk can safely be with each other if they all are engaged with low risk behaviors. and also risk is cumulative. just because you can go out and your state is reopened, don't go out and do everything. if you're going to go get your haircut, don't also go out to a restaurant. and ultimately, these are individual decisions. but what we do as individuals affect others too. and so wearing a mask, practicing physical distancing also helps to reduce the collective risk for everyone as well. >> sanjay, jeff in texas sent in this video. let's watch. >> why do the social distancing rules being enforced at parks, restaurants, bars, concerts, and sporting events no

from the fletcher school of law and diplomacy at tufts university, daniel drezner.uthor of "the toddler in chief: what donald trump teaches us about the modern presidency." what a great day to have dan on. it is matching the cover of his book. >> it is. he is throwing out conspiracy theories. i'm sort of honored to be in the same place where barack obama is. he is throwing out conspiracy theories, lying about people. he's desperate to distract from the fact that he got caught in lie after lie after lie yesterday. of course, bragged about the most important measurement being deaths per 100,000. said we were tied with germany at the top. instead, we're 131 out of 140 countries, according to johns hopkins. willie, new cnn poll just came out that show only 36% of americans believe what donald trump tells them about the coronavirus. this is why donald trump's numbers are going down. this is why his swing state numbers are collapsing. this is why he's tied with biden in georgia. this is why he's tied with biden in texas. nobody, except for his most hard core 36%, believe
