Dance if you can. Get on that balcony. A little bit takes you a long way. We are still in the middle of a crisis in this country. Thats where we begin. After weeks of increasing coronavirus cases, deaths are rising at a faster pace in many parts of the country. Three of the worst hit states have recorded their highest daily death tolls yet. There is growing evidence the surge is linked to the reopenings. Much of america is pushing ahead with reopenings. Theres no bigger symbol of that than disney world which will reopen tomorrow. That is in florida where according to the new york times, average daily cases have jumped nearly 1,400 since the state reopened. Dr. Fauci is giving the u. S. Poor marks for the response to the crisis. That prompted criticism of him from President Trump. When you compare us to other countries, i dont think you can say were doing great. Were just not. Dr. Fauci is a nice man, but he made a lot of mistakes. They have been wrong about a lot of things, clincluding masks. A lot said, dont wear a mask. Now they say wear a mask. A lot mistakes were made. The president himself has been criticized for refusing to wear a mask. The country is short of critical supplies, including covid tests. Maria, good morning. Whats it look like where you are . Reporter good morning. The state opened this surge testing site because right now in this area, they are seeing an increase in the number of covid positive cases and hospitalizations as well. Its free to come here. Over the last few days, thousands of people have lined up. Right now, the National Guard is setting up behind me. This place doesnt open until 8 00 in the morning. We have seen cars lined up ready to take advantage. The number of coronavirus patients hospitalized in texas has quadrupled in the last month to nearly 10,000. The covid19 virus in the city, quite frankly in the state, is out of control. What we do today and over the next few weeks is critical. Reporter in the rio grande valley, the largest Hospital System says they are near capacity another state with rising numbers, california, which reported its highest covid death toll thursday. Los angeles officials are considering another stay at home order if hospitalizations dont fall. In arizona, inpatient hospitalization hit a record high. There are only 181 icu beds left in the state. In a little over two weeks, the states cases have more than doubled. The virus is widespread. The more activity that is happening in our economy, the more the spread will continue. Reporter more than 2,000 arizonians have died, including a 64yearold. My dad was my biggest fan. He was so proud of me. He was the first person that i can remember loving. Reporter his daughter wrote a letter to the governor saying his decision to lift the stay at home order in may gave her father a false sense of security. Why was it important to call the governor out . We can ask people to make the right choices left and right. But folks in times of crisis turn to our leaders to send clear messages about what to do. I believe that my father was robbed of life and that his death was preventable. Reporter what upset her most is that he died alone. I dont think that anybody should have to go through what i have been going through. I would not wish this upon my worst enemy. Reporter back here in texas, 39 of the people who have contracted the virus are hispanic. The Largest Age Group with the highest number of confirmed cases is 30 to 39yearolds. Thank you very much. Disney world is opening its doors. David, what do people feel about the Safety Measures disney has introduced . Reporter what we heard is that people felt like things were going well. We talked to a couple of people who had to have their temperature checked. You had to wear a mask. You will hear about that. Whats interesting is the reopening is coming at a time when cases are exploding, especially here in Orange County, where most of disney world is based. The average daily increase of new cases here has exploded 1,400 since they did their phase one reopening in may. Disney world is still moving forward to welcome people back. Here we are. Reporter for lindsey, thursdays return to Walt Disney World was magic. The crowds were thin and the park employees were strictly enforcing new rules. On social distancing and wearing a mask. I felt very safe being there. It was a fantastic experience. One that i think that people would be surprised by. Reporter not everyone is comfortable with the new disney experience. Like this doctor from Florida Atlantic university. What was your reaction when you hear disney world was reopening . I was a little surprised. And concerned. I think its like pouring gasoline on a fire. Reporter concerns about floridas accelerating outbreak prompted the actors equity association, a union that represents 750 disney world cast members, to ask disney to provide coronavirus tests for its members. You cant really wear personal protective equipment when you are an actor. The workplace our members go to work in is different than everybody else in the park. Because our risks in our workplace is different, we need different. Reporter after they made that request, disney rescinded the call to bring the members back. They are filing a grievance. Disney told wkmg in orlando, we are exercising our right to open without equity performers. Concerns over testing extend beyond the magic kingdom. Florida is not testing enough. One out of five tests they are doing is turning up positive. That means that there are a lot of cases out there that the testing infrastructure is missing. Reporter this doctor of the Harvard Global institute says without more testing nationwide, things like opening schools or holding sporting events will be a real challenge. Aggressive. We will ramp up testing, make sure we are catching the virus and isolating people when they are infected. If we take that strategy, we can get a lot of our life back. Reporter back here at disney world, one reason its important to point out the fact some of the cast members asked for testing is because if you watch the local news here, theres so many people saying that i went to get tested, i had to wait two to three hours, now i wait a week or two to get test results back. The governor said they will try to set up new lines in Orange County where if you have symptoms, you go in a special line. Disney world is set to open to the public tomorrow. One more thing, there was a death reported in broward county, an 11yearold girl. Her death was related to coronavirus. Also, she had a horrible genetic disease. Thank you very much. President trump is lashing out at the Supreme Court following a pair of rulings on his financial records. The Supreme Court rules he has no right as president to conceal h his financial records from a grand jury. They decided House Democrats cannot see that information right now, at least based on the arguments they are making currently. Paula, good morning. What do these decisions mean for the near future . Good morning. The court was making a significant statement on the limits of president ial power. Now under this ruling, new york prosecutors may finally be able to obtain the president s financial records. But its unlikely that information is going to be handed over any time soon. The president s attorney has vowed to continue this fight. This is a political witch hunt. Reporter President Trump was indignant after the Supreme Court ruled he cannot block subpoenas. Its a hoax like the Mueller Investigation was a hoax. Reporter the court ruled the president cant block the release of his financial records to a new york grand jury. In this case, the information would only be made public if someone was charged and it was used as evidence at trial. The president s lawyers have said they will continue to litigate the issue in lower courts. The president tweeted several times that he was being treated unfairly. His handpicked justices, gorsuch and kavanaugh sided with the liberal members of the court. The just fiices rejected efforto issue broad subpoenas for years of the president s financial records. This is a fishing expedition. Reporter democrats will continue to try to obtain the documents. We have a path that the Supreme Court laid out that we will not ignore. We will never stop our oversight. Reporter in the new york case, prosecutors are seeking the records as part of an investigation into hush money payments allegedly paid to a former adult film star who claimed she had an affair with the president before he took office. Michael cohen, the president s former lawyer and fixer, landed a threeyear prison sentence as part of his involvement in the payments. Cohen was released to home confinement earlier this year over coronavirus concerns in prisons. He was recently seen eating dinner out in new york city, potentially violating the terms of his release. He was taken back into custody thursday. The bureau of prisons says he was taken into custody because he refused to sign this document obtained by cbs news that would have limited his ability to use social media, to talk to the press and even to write a book while in custody. Cohens Legal Adviser says once he was being cuffed, he did agree to sign the document. He was still taken into custody. I heard authorities said, its too late. We gave you the chance. Thank you very much. Video shows the aftermath of the Police Killing of Breonna Taylor louisville nearly four months ago. Officers conducting a drug raid burst into taylors home and shot her eight times. We have a video showing the tension between police and taylors boyfriend. ComeBreonna Taylors sister posted this wednesday night. Police are seen in front of the Apartment Building where taylor and her boyfriend lived. Police are pointing guns and shouting commands at walker who they later arrested. Turn around. Face away. Reporter you can hear kenny say, my girlfriend is in there. Their main concern was not my sister. Reporter they executed a noknock search warrant as part of a drug investigation. Attorneys for her family say no drugs were found. Audio of kenneth walkers interview with police, walker says he and taylor were in bed the night of march 13th when they heard someone banging on the door. Who is it . Loud at the top of her lungs. No response. Reporter Police Say Officers did knock and identify themselves. Taylors family Attorney Says thats not true. Everybody there said they never heard the Police Identify themselves. Reporter in his interview with investigators, a Police Officer sargeant explained that despite having a noknock warrant they knocked because they didnt consider taylor a major threat. Give her plenty of time to come to the door. They said she was probably there alone. Reporter she wasnt alone. Walker, a licensed gun owner, fired one shot, hitting mattingly in the leg. The door comes off the hinges. I just let off one shot. Still cant see who it is or anything. I returned fire. I got four rounds off. It was like simultaneous, boom, boom, boom, boom. Reporter louisville banned no knock warrants. A state senator is working to do the same for kentucky. That should have not been done the way it was. And under this proposal that i am in draft on, it would have never happened. The way it happened. Reporter palmer says she lived in that apartment with her older sister and that she often thinks about had she been there that night, she could have died, too. As for the three officers who fired their weapons, two of them have been placed on administrative reassignment during the ongoing investigation. One of them was fired. The Community Still calling for arrests in that case. The more you hear about this case, the more disturbing it is and the more questions are raised. Thank you very much.

Earlier this year, Congress Passed a law to ensure no one would avoid getting tested because of the cost. Experts say loopholes and mixups have left some people with big bills to pay. Good morning. Some people are getting those bills. Some experts say those loopholes could mean that more people returning to work could also face bills for covid19 testing. This woman made a trip to japan in january as she does once a year. This time, she says, she came back seriously ill. I got off the plane. I go to bed. Six hours after i had a really high fever, 104 degrees. Reporter because japan was reporting cases of covid19, she went to the hospital to make sure she wasnt infectious. Doctors ran tests. The doctor said, good news, you dont have the coronavirus. Okay. I dont have covid19. Reporter later, she got a bill for over 2,400. The reason . Her Insurance Company Blue Cross Blue Shield of illinois said although doctors did run tests on her, they did not test her for the coronavirus that causes covid19. Apparently due to testing restrictions in place back in february. I wouldnt have gone to the e. R. If i didnt go to japan. I knew how contagious it was. You can kill someone if you expose someone else. If you had it. Now im stuck with this big bill that they dont want to try to even do anything about. Reporter stories like hers are cropping up, despite the fact that under legislation passed by congress in march, covid19 tests and related charges are supposed to be covered. Sabrina codirects georgetown universitys health reforms. Congress made a promise to the public. You will not have to pay for testing. Is the Promise Holding up . Its not. There are far too many people who are either falling through the cracks because of the loopholes that the health plans are taking advantage of, not to pay for it. Reporter there are cases like alex. He went to a colorado emergency room in april. I had trouble sleeping for two nights in the middle of april. It felt like it was because that it was difficult for me to breathe. As if i couldnt breathe in as much. Reporter doctors did do a covid19 test. He got a bill from his Insurance Company. It said that my total was a bit over 3,000. Reporter you were going to have to pay . I was going to have to pay. Reporter goodman, a nasa employee, did digging and reached out to a doctor who wrote this article warning about billing problems. Sg i want people to mow if they get a covid test, they should not pay for that test. They should not pay for the visit. If they do get a bill for either the test or visit, call their insurer and contest the bill. Reporter he did. His Insurance Company reversed the bill in a few days. Some leading members of congress say recent Administration Guidance on Insurance Company payments for testing presents a bigger problem. In a letter, Congressional Democrats write, the administration wrongly claimed covid19 testing for surveillance or employment purposes are not required to be covered. Under the Families First Coronavirus Response act. They said now there have been troubling reports regarding some health plans refusing to provide coverage of tests, for example, for employee return to work programs. Is that from your perspective a problem . Because we need testing for people. Its a huge problem. Its one of these crazy situations where we have a lot of people who are going to be required to get a test to get back to work. Theres no requirement that their employer plan pay for it. Reporter the first woman did get her bill paid after fighting for three months. Her Insurance Company Blue Cross Blue Shield of illinois reversed course this week, one day after we called to ask about her case. The company told us, all customers have the right to appeal if they feel they were wrongly denied benefits. As for alex goodman, Anthem Blue Cross told us in a statement if members feel that their bills should have been waived, its encouraging them to raise the issue or to file an appeal. Its the craziest thing. When you call, suddenly, the bills get erased. Its a funny thing. Who knows why that happens. Appreciate your reporting.

The big ten is planning a conferenceonly season for all fall sports including football due to the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers for the oldest divisionone conference made up of 12 big universities in the midwest say the decision was based on medical advice. The big ten is the first of the power five conferences to make this type of extensive change to its ball schedule. Commissioner kevin woarren said it could change again. One thing to realize we may not have sports in the fall. We may not have a College Football season in the big ten. So we just wanted to make i know people are desperate for sports to come back. But as the commissioner says, this may not be the answer. Well have to see what happens. I think theyre really, really hoping it happens because the big ten is not only the oldest conference in college sports, but the richest or one of the richest. They made a record 759 million in revenue in 2018, last full season. Had about 500 million the year before. Both were records in their time. If they can play any kind of season theyll be able to make that tv money which is what keeps them going in the future. I know theyre putting the health costs first, but there are deep financial considerations here. There are indeed. A great point. All right. Moving to this. Speaking in the world of sports, a thorough breauthothoroughbred race won his first race. Fauci has the advantage. United and resolute second. Down to the line, foush fauciy to win it. You heard that right. Faucis coowner said he chose the name as a tribute to dr. Anthony fauci. The governments top Infectious Disease expert.

I love this next story because this is a slice of life story. If youve ever been to new york city or if you live here, most of you know times square doesnt always have the best reputation. One young woman is trying to change that because of a very special person. Tiffany jacksons twitter thread is gaining tons of attention. She says the crossroads of the world is her home thanks to her dad duane. Hes been a Street Vendor there for a quarter of a century. Hes a vietnam veteran, and he says other Business Owners in times square are like family. And back in 2010, duane and a fellow vendor helped stop an attempted bomb attack. I took the street vending gig as a temporary thing. Im a people person, as you can see. I enjoy the atmosphere. And next thing you know, its 25plus years. For me, you know, it was my safe spot. It was very much home. I mean, tiffany, she reminded me, i told her, of madeleine. Remember the little girl who lived in the plaza hotel . She knows times square exactly like that. She knows where all the great bathrooms are. If you didnt know where they were. And gayle, duane was on your radio show in 2010. I remember. I remember. Number one, when he says hes a people person, hes not kidding. This was before that if you see something say something. He not only saw something, he did something about it. We owe a big debt of gratitude to him. Yeah. Hes still a hero in my book. He is. He got a phone call from president obama. It was a really big deal. Yeah. He not only kept an eye out for that attack, but he hes trained to look for these things because hes been looking for pick pockets for years. He works hand in hand with the nypd in doing so. You mentioned the bathrooms. Tiffany, his daughter, knows where the clean bathrooms are in times square . A valuable thing. Yes. Shes not giving up the information, though. Thats right. It is secret.

Good morning, it is 7 56. Police believe a missing actress has dropped in a lake. She went missing wednesday after going out on lake piru with her son. He was found alone but save on the boat Late Wednesday afternoon. Investigators in the south bay are trying to identified Human Remains Found yesterday. The body turned up at a creek bed in coyote near morgan hill. It appears there was a tent or homeless encampment there. Crews are investigating an overnight fire at a marijuana grow operation in antioch. You can see the side of thes home Justice Courts and all that marijuana inside. Everyone inside made it out safely. Lets look at the bay bridge toll plaza and you can see traffic is really stacked up as the morning commute continues. It is going on and lets take a look at the Golden Gate Bridge. It is a big contrast, especially seeing all that fog. Plus look at the travel times and all the major thoroughfares in the green. So Golden Gate Bridge is all right but other areas are seeing sunshine . Its friday, july 10th, 2020. We made it. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Im gayle king with tony dokoupil. Anthony mason is off. America sees another record daily increase 234 coronavirus cases. Well talk to the Atlanta Mayor who tested positive herself for the virus. Monopoly on wisdom. Well talk to Kimberly Jones about how she uses the popular board game to talk about rationale inequality. And jeremy pope has a lot to say on representation in hollywood. Looking forward to that. First, heres todays eye opener at 8 00. After weeks of increasing coronavirus cases, deaths are rising at a faster pace in many parts of the country. The state opened this surge testing site because right now they are seeing an increase in the number of covid positive cases. Much of america is pushing ahead. Theres no bigger symbol of that than disney word which will reopen doors tomorrow. Whats interesting is the reopening is coming at a time when cases are exploding, especially in Orange County. President trump is lashing out at the Supreme Court following a pair of rulings on his financial records. Under the ruling the new york prosecutors may be able to obtain the president s financial records. Theres a wall of rain about 70 miles south of here. The earliest storm weve seen. Blocking particles in the medical environment and when youre out mowing the lawn. Bill nye the science guy. A new video thats gone viral. The main reason we want you to wear a mask is to protect me from you and the particles from your respiratory from getting into my respiratory system. Thank you for joining me on consider the following. Welcome back to cbs this morning. Thank you bill bnye the science guy. You cant say it enough. Wear your mask. It makes a difference. And bravo to bill nye. Thats the first time ive seen a demonstration with a candle. You would have thought id have seen it all. Yes. As we continue our coverage to the virus, were several months into the pandemic and the numbers continue to spiral out of control as the u. S. Sets another terrible record. Until 15 days ago the most cases we had seen in a day was a little over 36,000. That was on april 24th. Since then the u. S. Has broken that record seven times including yesterdays alltime high of more than 63,000 cases. In arizona yesterday people waited hours to get tested as the governor signed an executive order limiting Indoor Dining to less than 50 capacity. The florida texas and california each reported their highest single day death tolls since the pandemic started. This comes as the cdc direct says the agency will not change the guidelines for reopening schools despite criticism from President Trump. Instead Additional Guidance is expected next week. Tough times in georgia. Hospitals there are quickly nearing capacity. Atlanta mayor just issued an executive order requiring face masks in public spaces. Earlier this week she revealed she tested positive for covid19 but she also says she has no symptoms. She joins us from her home in atlanta where she is quarantining. Good morning to you mayor. Its good to see you this morning. We should say this. When you announced your diagnosis, it got a lot of attention first because, of course, youre the mayor. Second, you had no symptoms and you said you and your family had been to diligent about following the rules. It affected your husband, one of your children, your other were t two were getting tested. The other three were tested and thankfully they are all negative, but like so many people across america, we had an asymptomatic child in our house, and we didnt know it. And had we received our earlier test results back sooner, test results that i only took because i had attended a funeral and decided to get the entire family tested, as we received those sooner, we would have known that we had an asymptomatic child in the house. By the time we were tested again, three of us tested positive. Thats the story thats happening across this country and its the reason we cant get to the other side of this crisis. Its been reported you had delays in getting your results. Its scary because youre the mayor. You would think if anybody would get the results back quickly, it would have been you. What does that say about testing in your state . That our testing system is failing. It took me eight days to get our test results back. And, again, at that point one person in the house was positive. And this is the reason this virus is continuing to spread. This is the reason that people are inadvertently putting people in harms way. Its extremely frustrating. Its disappointing. Theres so many countries across the globe who somehow have been able to perfect testing and Contact Tracing and yet, again, we are still failing in this country and specifically in the state of georgia. All the top experts say everybody, please wear your mask. Ive heard people say wear you damn mask for emphasis. Youve issued an executive order in atlanta saying in our city youre going to wear the mask. The governor said thats not enforceable. He doesnt seem to be supporting you on this. How are you navigating that and the relationship between the two of you . Well, gayle, this is the same governor who thought it was a good idea for our state to open up with business as usual when we were not trending downward with our covid numbers. So right now we have hospitals that are reaching capacity. Our major trauma center, grady hospital, is seeing more Covid Patients than it saw in april. And so i have to do what i am charged to do, and that is to make the best decisions on behalf of the people of atlanta. And so were pushing forward. And other mayors across the state have done the same thing. Mayor johnson in savannah did it. I believe the mayor in augusta. The governor seems to be one of the few elected officials in the state who doesnt think that mandating masks is a good idea. President trump is heading your way, heading to atlanta next week. Do you plan to meet with him and if so, what is your message to him . What do you want him to know about your city . I doubt he wants to meet with me, and the feeling is mutual. But what i want President Trump to do is lead. Its just that simple. He is making an already bad situation worse. We are seeing challenges throughout our cities including challenges with testing. If he would allow the experts to do their job, then i think that lives could be saved across this country. But hes silencing the scientists. Hes silencing dr. Fauci. Hes interfering with guide looguidelines coming out of the cdc. Its costing peoples lives. We simply want him to allow us to live. Give us an opportunity to receive the most unbiassed scientific information on covid, and he continues to interfere with that. You know, mayor, you were sworn in as mayor in 2018. But you gained a lot of National Attention earlier this year, because you gave such an impassioned plea to your city the first week of the protesters. I remember so clearly where you were saying protest, you need a plan. Your 18yearold son was out. You called him and said where are you. Your strength and passion for the city was palpable. You have mama bear tendencies. You were very upset when a young girl was killed in your city recently. Im wondering how youre navigating. Youre a mayor, a mother of four, your husband was also affected by covid, affected greatly. How are you navigating all these roles . Gayle, i take it one day at a time. Theres some days as of late that i take it one hour at a time and just make the best decisions that i can possibly make, and part of that means that i have to speak my truth. And my truth is that i do have concerns as a mother, specifically i have four children, three of whom are African American boys. So i understand the frustration, the fears and even the anger that so many people are feeling. But i also have this responsibility to lead our city, and this is a very challenging time for our city, and were seeing it happen across the country. But i think there are two things we have to do. One, we have to deal with immediate issues that are before us, and then we have to continue to fight and push to address the systemic issues that are causing disparities in health care and causing people to go into the streets and express their anger in a violent way. Mayor, aur also its been widely reported and well known you appear to be on joe bidens short list for the Vice President ial list, you were asked are you ready, you said yes. You did not stammer or hesitate. What makes you so confident . I realize youre not courting the position. I get it. You already have a big job. What makes you confident that youd be a good candidate for him . Gayle, theres a saying if you stay ready, you dont have to get ready. As mayor, you have to stay ready, because you are faced with any number of challenges every day. Ive served in three branches of government. Ive certaserved as a judge, a legislator, and now as an executive as mayor, and the challenges we face and deal with in atlanta every day really represent the challenges that are happening across this country, especially in this moment in time, and to im a leader. And i believe that when you are searching for a Vice President ial candidate, you need someone who is able to lead in a crisis. That being said, i want joe biden to put on that ticket whomever it is he thinks will help him beat donald trump in november, because we cannot take four additional years of what we dealt with in this country. All right. Mayor, i hope you feel as good as you look. Were sorry about the diagnosis. Do you feel okay right now . I do. Just allergy symptoms. Actually, i slept for a very long time yesterday which is unusual, but im doing well. Thank you for asking. I admire that you can sleep. Im a little jealous about that. Thank you very much.

Activist Kimberly Jones is getting nationwide support for her powerful video that compares the economic plight of black americans to a rigged game of monopoly. Her raw, unscripted speech on youtube has been viewed more than two million times, and its also been shared by a number of celebrities from lebron james to madonna. Our national correspondent, jericka duncan, spoke with jones about her important message. So for 400 rounds of monopoly, you dont get to play at all. Not only do you not get to play, you have to play on the behalf of the person that youre playing against. You have to play and make money and earn wealth for them, and then you have to turn it over to them. Reporter Kimberly Jones video titled how can we win, is part outrage, part History Lesson. She says for the 400 years since enslaved africans arrived in what is now the United States, theyve been playing a game stacked against them. How can you win . You cant win. The game is fixed. Reporter the atlantabased activist, former bookseller and young adult author, has used the monopoly analogy to teach finance and economics to teenage girls. But this was the first time she used it to explain systemic rat racism in such dark terms. These referenced atrocities black communities faced decades after slavery ended. For 50 years you finally get a little bit and youre allowed to play. And every time they dont like the way youre playing or that youre doing something selfsufficient, they burn your game. Reporter you talk about tulsa. You talk about rosewood, communities that were burned down by white mobs in the 1920s. Yeah. This idea that we should just like pull ourselves up by our bootstraps is ridiculous when people are not ready to discuss the Ripple Effect that slavery, reconstruction, jim crow, all of that has had on our communities. They are lucky that were black people what black people are looking for is equality and not revenge. Reporter her passion is rooted in the numbers. Black households earn just over 41,000 per year compared to 70,000 for nonhispanic whites. And black families have a median net worth of 17,600, compared to 171,000 for white families. It was all of this racism that was allowed to happen without repercussion when people were building the wealth that they could have passed down generationally. That was taken from them. We have to reckon with that when we talk about the economic disparity of the black community. Reporter how do you do that . Well, i not the first thing is to just get the education, that people need to listen. Theres one person i saw this week whose words have been echoing around my head. That captured a story so many have struggled to tell. People are listen, theyre understanding. I think the next step is to start to put in incremental plans, some form of restitution, for these communities. Whether you look at health care, education, you know, food insecurity, all of that is reverted back to economics. Reporter when you say restitution, what are talking about . Im going to say the taboo word than everybody hates reparations. I think we are owed reparations. Reporter where did we go from here . I think the best thing we can do is to vote. Thats only step one. We also need to pull together our community and make sure that the people that are those ballots are people that are from that community, that have the same desires for that community. We need to have real conversations and need actionable items about what were going to do in order to see real justice and real change in this nation. [ chants ] reporter does this time feel different . I think this time feels very, very different. Particularly because its happened on such a global scale. I think people have become passionate about it in a way. That we havent seen since the civil rights movement. And i think that in five years were going to see a healthier, happier america. Reporter jones plans to publish a book based on that video which has more than two million views on youtube as of right now. She also said, gayle, that she wants to really work with people in her community to groom candidates for local elections. She understands the power there with people voting and said thats where she also wants to make a change. Shes already making a change. First, i cant wait to read the book. Ava duvernay sent me the video, and i was blown away by her eloquence and her passion and the way she put it so succinctly, something im not doing now. I think we all need to take a class from Kimberly Jones. Im so glad you talked to her. Love to meet her. Thank you. Youre watching cbs this morning. Well be right back. For the sweaty faces, and the hidden smiles. The foggy glasses, and the muffled laughs. A simple piece of fabric makes a big statement i care. Wear a mask. Lets all do our part to slow the spread.

Cases of mumps healthcare workers at San Francisco General Hospital have shot up a 50 . Hospital officials confirmed 15 workers tested positive between june 27th and july six.

Its time to bring you some of the stories we call talk of the table this morning. You know how it goes. We each pick a story we like to share with each other, and then with you. Vlad, youre up first. Okay. Oprah winfrey is partnering with lions gate and hanna jones to adapt the 1619 project into movies, tv, tv shows and other content. Hanna jones created it for new york times. It was launched last august to mark 400 years since the arrival of the first enslaved africans in british north america. It examines the impact of slavery on American Society and how it continues to shape our country today. Educators are already bringing the 1619 project into classrooms. They said this. It reveals the true story, the true role of slavery and the impact of racial prejudice in shaping the america today. Thats why they wanted to partner along with Oprah Winfrey to bring this whole series of projects and platforms where people will be able to access the 1619 project. They have enough material for many lifetimes, gayle. I was going to say i cant wait to see it. I cant speak for nicole, but i know oprah is excited about it. What gets me about this, vlad, i originally picked up they said its already taken. What do you mean . Im so glad. Great minds think alike. Great minds think alike, vlad. Im just so glad we get to tell that story. Shes so psyched. Hanna jones has been on and her body of work is brilliant. This is very cool. It is. I got a bit of a History Lesson at my talk of the table as well. 1775, that is when the u. S. Navy traces its beginning. 1974, that is when women were first able to fly in the navy, though not in combat. 1993, finally women were allowed to qualify for combat flying. And now, right now, lieutenant junior grade madelein swagel is the firstknown black female woman to become a tactical air pilot in the United States navy. Theres her picture. Look at her. She will receive her gold wings later this month. Ooh. Navy air whats her name . Madelein swagel. Shes being sprayed which is the tradition at the end of your final qualifying flight. The announcement said b. Z. To her which means bravo zulu code. You got that right, tony. Its not clear what her plans are next. First of all, she had to do a whole lot to get to this point. She can land a jet on an Aircraft Carrier which i think is one of the hardest things to do. All i can think, gayle, theyre going to have to reshoot top gun to make it more realistic now. Yes, yes. Tony, good point. Just looking at her picture makes me smile and sit up a little bit straighter. Im so glad. I had not heard that story. So, my story is about coronavirus cases. Theyre climbing in florida. Everybody knows that theyre going up. So a doctor there wanted to spread a very important message, so he sent this tape to David Begnaud and said to david, could you please spread it . David put it on his twitter. I didnt see it, but my assistant alexis saw it and said, did you see davids twitter . No, i didnt. You should take a look at the doctor. I took a look at the doctor. I said, yep, we want to help you, dr. Felix, spread your message. So here you go. I hate wearing a mask. It hurts. Its difficult to breathe. Not to mention the humidity stuck to your face for a whole day. I wear a mask because it is my duty. I wear a mask because i care. I wear a mask because i dont want my family to get sick. I dont want my neighbor to get sick. I wear a mask because it is my right to be compassionate, to be responsible. I wear a mask for you. Now, what more, guys, can we say after that . Dr. Will felix is a Sports Medicine emergency room doctor in orlando. I just really felt, tony, that you could feel the heaviness in his heart. I love the fact that hes wearing a little band aid on his nose. Thats a tip for us because it does start to irritate there. But i think you can feel you can feel how important this is to him and his frustration that people are not paying attention to this. And its such a small thing for all of us to do. And i personally dont think that you can say this enough. Thats why i wanted to help spread the word, too. I think well done, very clear message. We hope peoples ears are open, though, no matter how eloquent a person is. Unless youre listening, you cant understand what theyre trying to say. So true. Gayle, thank you very much. As the number of coronavirus cases surges, we are looking at how the virus affects men and women differently. While they get infected at similar rates, Research Shows that men are more likely to suffer worse outcomes. They are as much as 2. 4 times more likely to die, for example. Senior medical correspondent dr. Tearara narula says if it c help. Reporter leo was more worried about his wife carolina who had a history of pneumonia and as Michael Avenatti i dont have asthma. I dont smoke. I dont have copd, high cholesterol, nothing. Shell recover faster and easier. It was the other way. Reporter while she got stronger at South Bay Hospital near tampa, florida, two doors down leo was intubated. Doctors gave him only a 40 chance of survival. [ applause ] one month after his triumphant homecoming. Welcome home. Reporter leo was still weak and needed supplemental oxygen. Why a healthy man like leo got so much sicker than a woman with underlying conditions is likely due to a combination of behavior, genetics and hormones. One of the biggest questions that i have is the extent to which these differences between men and women are being mediated by our hormones versus our genes. Reporter sandra klein studies differences in immune responses to vaccination at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of public health. When Something Like the virus, the sars cov 2 virus enters our bodies. The immune system of women tend to respond more rapidly and more robustly. Reporter with other viruses such as the flu and hepatitis, women tend to clear the infection faster than men and women generally mount stronger immune responses from vaccines. The advantage may lie in the x chrome sewn which carries genes linked to immune system function. While women have a pair of x chromosomes, men have only one. I think there is more than one reason or one thing thats potentially contributing to women fairing better in this disease. Reporter dr. Sarah ghandehari is studying whether the gender gap is hormones makes men and women different. Estrogen, testosterone and progesterone which supports pregnancy. When there is not an overwhelming amount of inflammation. Reporter 40 men and women will receive a course of progesterone to see if it raises their odds of surviving on par with women. I wasnt expecting my dad to be as bad as he was. I really expected reporter when briana lawtons family got infected with the coronavirus, the florida nurse thought her mother cecilia was most at risk because of her history of blood pressure, diabetes and respiratory illness. But while cecilia recovered at home it just happened so fast. Reporter her husband marvin lost his battle with the coronavirus and died in the hospital. He was only 60 years old. We got that call. To me it just seemed like, you know, this has to be somebody else. It couldnt be us. My daughter struggles with the guilt that she couldnt save her dad. Dr. Tara narula joins us now. We mentioned gentleman net iks and hormones as possible contributors to this gap. Could it also be the way men behave, the things they do to their bodies to begin with . Absolutely, tony. It is this complex interplay between geneses, hormones and behavior. We talked about the x genes. Some genes we share, some in men turn on differently than women. When you look at hormones, all of our immune cells, almost all of them have receptors for estrogen and testosterone. Men tend to smoke or drink more than women. They may seek careless often or seek care less quickly. There may be occupational exposures. Studies show men tend to wash their hands less often. All of those are important to factor in. Tara narula with Important Information on men can intervene on their behalf if they choose to. His hit netflix show hollywood and why it resonates ac that is jeremy pope performing the song from the musical aint too proud from the tony awards. His portrayal of Eddy Kendrick from the temptations helped make tony history. He became the first black actor ever to receive two separate acting nominations in the same season for his roles in aint too proud and the play choir boy. Hes performing archie in the hit netflix show, an openly gay man trying to make it as a screen writer in the 1940s. Do you think he knows . Knows what . That im black. He doesnt already know. I mailed him my script. He called me on the telephone and i told him, golly, mr. Samuels, im over the moon you liked my script. You did not. I did. And jeremy pope joins us now from florida. Jeremy, good morning. And happy birthday. Yesterday was the big day. Yesterday was the big day. Thank you. So, hollywood is a really interesting premise. And i dont know if people can get it from that clip, but the idea is that archie is an openly gay black screen writer in the 1940s, only prejudice and obstacles existed then exist in his path. With that kind of alternative history, how did you prepare for it coming from, well, here and now . Yeah, um, it felt very timely when ryan presented the idea to me. You know, i think i simply asked the questions, what if we had given equal opportunities regardless of the color of your skin or how you identify, and that message is so powerful. So to see Something Like that on the tv, you know, forum, whether it be a fantasy, it still gives people a tangible idea how powerful that message is of equality and how we today in 2020 still have some room to go. Was it enjoyable to go back and imagine what might have been . Or was it sad . Um, it was enjoyable for me because i knew the representation, the visibility that it was going to show and give to people would be hopeful and, you know, ali in that pressure came out during the pandemic. Everyone was able to binge watch it. Also it makes you think how what type of art do i want to make, how can i be a better ally in the community and make sure this world that we want to create of equal opportunity can become something tangible and Something Real for us now. Yeah, i ask about the sadness because we know for so many reallife screen writers in that era, it wasnt an easy path. Im curious as you look back and inhabited the role, if there are aspects of archie you relate to from your vantage pointed to. Absolutely. I think for me where i disconnected with archie is just, you know, often wondering if there is space in a room for me in the entertainment industry. At times there is only one person of color that can be successful at a time. So archie has to face a lot of hardships and is trying to break the mold, trying to be the first because he knows that by him doing that, its bigger than just an archie successor in my case a jeremy success. Its offering visibility for so many artists and people that come from that same narrative. So they often know by seeing things like that, by having examples like that, that they are wanted, respected, that there is room for them at the table. And i think that message is so, so powerful.
