Reporter good morning to you, jeff. President trump says hes not going to wear a mask since hes tested negative for coronavirus and assumes he isnt spreading the disease, even as the first lady suggested people should take these guidelines seriously. So with the masks, its going to be really a voluntary thing. Reporter President Trump uveiled new recommendations from the centers for Disease Control urging americans to wear cloth or fabric face masks in public. He made clear he wont be following them. Sitting in the oval Office Behind that beautiful resolute desk, the Great Resolute desk, i think wearing a face mask as i greet president s, Prime Ministers, dictators, kings, queens, i dont know, somehow i dont see it for myself. Reporter the announcement came as the president put pressure on manufacturer 3m to make more protective masks by invoking the defense production acts and used the same powers to ban socalled profiteers from exporting medical supplies outside of the country. The president s soninlaw Jared Kushner has been working with fema to oversee the supply chain from the strategic stockpile but came under scrutiny after seeming to suggest it wasnt for states.

Now an update on the latest medical developments related to the pandemic. Here to discuss them once again, cbs news medical contributor dr. David agus who joins us from los angeles. Doctor, good morning. 250 million americans now impacted by the social distancing guidelines. How long will it be before we understand or realize how effective these guidelines have been . Reporter you know, theres a delay obviously, theres an incubation period of the virus, two to nine days. Then the virus itself has a course of several weeks. Testing in the United States still isnt where we need to have it in the big cities. And so we look at hospitalization rates, and i think theyre going or they should start to level off over the next week or so in many of the major affected cities now. What were worried about are the next wave cities that were alluded to earlier in the show. Then again there will be a lag between intervention when we stay inside, social distance, to when we see an effect on the virus. Theres been a shift on the guidance on Wearing Masks as weve talked about here on this broadcast. What should people know right now about covering their faces in public . Reporter they need to know they have to do it. I mean, this is something thats imperative. When you breathe on a mirror, those are droplets. If you go outside and youre asymptomatic remember people are asymptomatic before they get symptoms, and the whole course of the virus, you breathe those droplets can spread. You wear a home made mask of cloth, you can stop that and save other people and shorten the duration of the virus in this country. We all have to play our part. That is one of the ways, dr. Agus, that you can help prevent the spread. Were learning that about 25 of the people who are spreading this may be asymptomatic now, that have the coronavirus. How is that affecting how we are approaching treating and going after this disease . Reporter i mean, that, unfortunately, is the difficult part with this virus is some people have minimal to no symptoms at all and theyre contagious. When they go out, they dont mean it because they dont think theyre sick. They go shopping, they talk to somebody, they can spread the virus and it keeps spreading. If the virus keeps spreading, our period of being inside will be prolonged. We have to Work Together on this. I know it seems overkill, but Everybody Needs to stay inside. And when you do go out for necessities, please wear a mask. One of the things weve talked about with you throughout the weeks is the idea of treatments and the approach to this. Technology is playing a role. What can you tell us about where we are in regards to that right now . Reporter well, yesterday was a big step up. The secretary of health and Human Services azar announced that a new data base put together by oracle was launched. And every doctor in the country will register a patient now before starting treatment. If the patients outpatient, he or she will get an email every day and be able to update whats going on with their treatment. We will know what drugs work well, when to use them, who to use them in given time. It is very exciting that were going to collect data in every patient will be part of the cure. And were all going to help together. The data, the website for this is covid19. Oracle. Com. Every doctor, please go there and register before you put patients on medications because we have to learn from every experience so we can all get better. We have to be patient, as well, seems to be the lesson for all of us in this. Dr. David agus, thank you so much.

Jill, im going to start with something that really stood out not even just the numbers, in reading from so many Economic Experts the talk that this will be more like the Great Depression than any recession weve ever seen has been out there. Can you give us any sense of how that might look in our modern time . First of all, lets talk about whats different. That is that weve learned a lot of lessons since the Great Depression. When people are thinking about bread lines, its very scary. Thats not whats happening today. We are throwing a lot of money at this problem. We are the richest nation in the world, and so were not going to see that. But the reason were going back to the depression is weve just never seen job losses like this ever. And as you said, with ten Million People filing for new unemployment claims over the course of just two weeks, lets put that in perspective. Throughout the great recession, there were 8. 8 million jobs lost over 17, 18 months. This is a sudden stop to not just the u. S. But also the global economy. And so were looking back to understand how long it could last
