While most americans do not think the Trump Administration was prepare forward the coronavirus pandemic, 53 do approve of the way the president is handling it, although thats changing. The president now appears to be backing away from recommendations that people should stay home over a long period of time. Because of his concerns about the effects on the economy. If it were up to the doctors, they may say lets keep it shut down. Lets shut down the entire world because, again, you are up to almost 150 countries. So lets shut down the entire world and when we shut it down, that would be wonderful. And lets keep it shut for a couple of years. Cant do that. Thats why i talk about the cure being worse than the problem. We cant have the cure be worse than the problem. So we should point out that cbs news has not heard any recommendation from any doctor about a multiyear shutdown, although certainly a shortterm shutdown is on the way. Paula reid is at the white house for us. Good morning. What are the president s comments suggesting about what hes likely to do next . The president appears to be laying the groundwork to reopen sectors of the economy and send people back to work. The president said on monday he will make an announcement about whether to ease the current restrictions. But at a nearly twohour briefing last night, the president said it will be a matter of weeks, not months, before he tries to reopen the country. But asked if he was risking lives by doing this, the president insisted he believes the dire Economic Conditions could lead to suicides which he claims would result in an even higher death toll. Though many medical experts disagree with that assessment. The president said going forward, he will consult with medical experts on this effort along with others, but when pressed, he would not say who else he is talking to to get advice about how to guide the country through this unprecedented economic turmoil. Dr. Anthony fauci is the one who Many Americans say they really want to hear from when it comes to coronavirus. He was not at last nights briefing. The president was asked about this, and the president insisted he believes the doctor is a very good man, but said the world renowned Infectious Disease expert was not at the briefing because they were not discussing his area of expertise. Gayle . A lot of people wondering where was dr. Fauci yesterday. Thank you very much, paula. America is halfway through the federal governments 15 days of recommended social distancing. Our dr. David agus is at his home in los angeles. Lets start with the president , david, because he appears to be at odds with the Health Experts about how long this should go on. If it comes to that, who wins in this dispute, and what is the risk there . I think everybody thinks that it needs to be a four to sixweek minimum of what we call the social distancing. Remember, each person in the chinese data can actually spread to 2 1 2 people. So if you stop it and theres still virus, it will keep going and grow up again. So we have to be clear on that. My gut is, i mean, obviously, science will win. And the data will win. And i think my hope what the president is saying is lets see data every day and see where we are and then make a decision based on the data. Lets not say in advance that its going to be x number of weeks. And that i buy into. The key thing here really is to see whats going on. So what were going to see is the end of this week, were going to see the impact of what we all have done the last week, which is draconian measures. We all have played a part and stepped back and hopefully dramatically stopped the spread of the virus. He says lets not let the cure be worse than the problem. Does that make sense to you . Well, again, im not an economist, but what i do know is the economy wont do well if the virus keeps going. And so i think you have to look at it on both sides. If you open the economy and the virus keeps going, were going to be in a worse situation than we are in now. Most businesses probably are not likely to reopen if theres still a health crisis. But i wanted to ask you, how will we know when it is safe to loosen these restrictions . So we need to see the stop of the spread of the virus. Community spread, which is person to person sproead, has t go down dramatically in order to loosen the restrictions. Its a numbers game. At the same time if we start to have treatment. Lets say we find somebody with the virus and we can give them a drug that we know works, we can stop the spread from him to somebody else or her to two other people. Doctor, the president raised the specter of suicides if the economy tanks as badly as some economists think it will. Theres a term for that in the literature, depths of despair. Is it legitimate to calculate those fatalities against the fatalities that come with the virus itself . Of course. You have to look at the whole picture. We are an enterprise. So you cannot just say, you know, were going to put everybody in their house, forget the economy or jobs or well have social disruption. Well have young people start to go into the streets and say ive got no income, i cant survive. It needs to be a hybrid of those. As we get more and more science and data, we can figure out what to do. As we think about potentially opening up sections of the economy or portions of the country, one idea raised by the country is certain parts of the country less hard hit could come back sooner economically. Is that a legitimate approach . Listen, i think we can open certain parts of the country potentially, although im not sure thats going to be likely. But the other side is people who have been exposed, that has antibodies to the virus and its safe for them to go out, they can be an upstart part of the economy. We can differentiate. Elderly havent been exposed. Very high risk. If you have been exposed, you can go out. David, before you go, dr. Fauci wasnt at the press conference yesterday. A lot of people find his presence very reassuring. Was that a surprise to you that he wasnt there . I know youve talked to the white house about Different Things. Were you reading too much into it . Yeah, i think, you know, listen. They want to social distance and have a small number of people. You cant have a panel of ten people speaking at every conference. Hes a reassuring voice and hes real science and we all believe in him. All right, david, thank you. After failing to reach a deal yesterday, lawmakers now say they are finally closing in on a nearly 2 trillion emergency stimulus package. It will help americans and businesses suffering from the impact of the coronavirus outbreak. Nancy cordes is on capitol hill. Where do we stand this morning . Good morning. Were told that one extra day of talks did yield some results. More aid to state and local governments. More help for hospitals around the country. But now the pressure is really on to seal this deal and vote with the hopes that all this money will help convince hardhit businesses to keep their workers on. I believe we are close. Reporter senators promise relief is on the way in the form of a bill thats growing so fast, no one knows just how much it costs. 1. 2, 1. 3 trillion, roughly. The 2 trillion piece of legislation. Reporter negotiations centered monday night around a new 500 billion fund for loans to big industries. Democrats say there arent enough rules to govern who gets what. Arguing for transparency and accountability on the money that goes to any business, large or small, is not unreasonable. Reporter the president only added to their fears with this response to paula reid. The lack of oversight. Treasury has this unilateral authority to dole out all of this money. Look. Ill be the oversight. Ill be the oversight. Reporter republicans want to pass the bill now. They say the delay is costing jobs. Right now, americans are losing hope. Reporter even as they spoke, ge announced it would lay off about 2,500 workers. The massive bill would provide up to four months of Unemployment Insurance at a workers current salary. Also 350 billion in loans for Small Businesses with incentives to retain their workers. All eyes are now on democratic leader Chuck Schumer and treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin who met six times yesterday. The list of outstanding issues has narrowed significantly. Getting this bill passed is only the first challenge. Then the government has to figure out how to get all the money out the door quickly. Tony . Nancy, thank you very much. Overseas, britain announced a virtual shutdown to fight the coronavirus. Meanwhile, the tokyo summer olympics are hanging in the balance now. A veteran member of the International Olympic committee dick pound told usa today that postponement has already been decided. Ramy inocencio reports from tokyo. Reporter good morning. Its important to note the International Olympic committee has not decided to postpone the games. At least not yet. But cbs news did reach out to the ioc for a reaction. They said that every board member has a right to interpret the boards decision. But dick pound has a lot of influence and its very likely the games will be postponed to 2021. Just five days after the olympic flame landed in japan, its future and that of the entire 2020 summer games is in doubt. Team usa voiced its support for a postponement saying in a statement, even if the current Significant Health concerns could be alleviated by late summer, the enormous disruptions to the training environment, doping controls and qualification process cant be overcome. Its definitely way beyond sports. Its all about health and safety of not only yourself but the ones around you. Reporter team usa sprinter Manteo Mitchell said postponing the games would be bittersweet but fellow athletes getting sick has him concerns. Here i am a professional athlete. I could possibly get this and not even know, especially with my immune system being as strong as it is. Im taking all the proper precautions that, you know, the cdc is putting out. Reporter firsttime olympian, kate courtenney is a mountain biker who qualified and said it would be a huge disappointment not to compete. Ive been riding virtually with olympians from other countries. I can train from my home gym and share videos on instagram and see what other people are doing. Reporter the ioc says theyll have a final decision in the next four weeks. But fewer people here in japan and around the world really expect that any kind of olympic fireworks will end up over the National Stadium this summer.
