Redfield had immediately briefed health and Human Services secretary, alex azar, who in turn alerted the National Security council. How did we get from those small but Early Warnings out of wuhan, china, to now, in confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths . To untangle what went wrong. We start with a nod to watergate. What did the president know . President trump thank you very much, everyone. Reporter and when did his white house know it . We know it came before the state council, the high governing body of china, and told them in a secret Service Session that the issue in wuhan was so serious, he was personally stepping in and taking control.

My expectation, i rrospeuiro, t there was massive planning happening in the u. S. Government. Reporter dr. Ashish jha is head of the Global Health institute. I assumed there was a lot of ramping up of testing and getting our country ready for what was coming. Reporter but . It has become clear now that there was not. Reporter the fact that the c. D. C. s test kits didnt work meant that coronavirus was out there, spreading and no one knew where. Thats what is the worry, that it could become a pandemic. Reporter what came next . Six weeks of schizophrenia. President trump a lot of people think it goes away in april, with the heat. Coronavirus outbreak took a very frightening turn overnight. President trump we have it very much under control. Reporter but the nation was preoccupied not w t early march,a and achmen that it started dawning on us, my god, we wasted six weeks of Early Warning time. Here is my pile of u. S. Government pandemic preparedness plan. On top, november 2005. Reporter it wasnt as if there was no roadmap. Structural issues, who is in charge of what, what is the c. D. C. s role versus the state roles . These are in all of these plans. They have been debated by very wise people in government, both republican and democrats. Reporter and set aside, just as the Trump Administration set aside the socalled playbook handed them by the obama transition team. I was one of the people who oversaw the development of the playbook. Reporter until march 2017, beth cameron headed the office responsible for pandemic preparedness within the National Security council. Our job was to work with departments and pandic and to be more ach viaagile in response. Reporter she said was, because the office was eliminated in 2018. Gone.

Pauley a bad hair day is one thing. A bad hair month is quite another. And then there is that eternal question, even more difficult to answer these days what to wear . Time to face facts. First with faith salie, and then with nancy giles. A few weeks ago, you might have heard me ask this hey, ladies, what are we doing about hair color . A superficial question for sure, but one that is on a lot of peoples minds. Yes, were dealing with issues of life and death right now, but we have to provide in b tnd is not jus black and wthe is a lot of graya lot of gray. This is my head on lockdown. And my very gray hair. Reporter and here are the heads of a lot of other people. You guys are about to see me look like one of the witches at eastwick. Look at this.

Pritzker, had different feelings. Im going to turn into a hippie at some point here. Reporter it is not just our heads i want you to take a look at my nails. Reporter and its not just women. Call it vanity, call it selfcare, call your colorist. Mine is nancy braun. Caring about the way you look right now is not entirely sup official . No. Because it is real. It is just trying to do the little, small, incremental things that make you feel like you have a touch of control in your life where you feel like youve had none. Reporter what are you doing to take care of your clients . Somebody created this little container where youre able to put color in one side and developer in the other and seal it and protect it. Reporter nancy sent me one of those kits. Thats hair color . Thats hair color. Reporter and then i went to hair color grad school, or was it kindergarten . Are you good at coloring between the lines . Yes. Good, because thats what i need you to do. Color between the lines. It is already working . Things are happening . Things are happening. This is science. Im going to wash the pandemic right out of my hair i love it honestly, nancy, i had no idea it would make me this happy. Im so happy there is the other side. Reporter nancy is not the only one helping her clients this way. Hairstylist Kim Serratore in new jersey, she is usually part of the cbs hair and makeup teams, but these days she is dropping off color and giving lessons from at least six feet away. And lets say you dont have a stylist, you can order hair color on line or put on your mask and gloves and head to the story. Better hurry the c. E. O. Of walmart says shoppers are no longer panicking over toilet paper. Theyre panicking over their toilette. People are starting to need a haircut, so you see more beard trimmers and hair color and things like that. Reporter that d. Y. I. , do it yourself one, is a heavy one. But what if you cant do it yourself. Reporter and if hair color isnt what you need, try a virtual bang trim or help your partner get zoomready. Bottom line is do try this at home, if you want to. If you want to go gray or purple or chewbacca, you grow, girl. Look, were all in this hairy situation together. I may care a lot about my roots, but im letting my facial hair grow. And when it gets really bad, ill treat myself to a fascia facial mask. This is nancy giles, whether slicing lemons in his kitchen, reading a book in his nook, or sporting that trademark black tea and blazer, leave it to michael kors to look good under a lockdown. Whats the whole outfit. What have you got down there . You ready . You know what, ive got my cargoes on. Reporter and for one of the most recognizable names in fashion, what kors is wearing these days isnt just about style. We want the things that make us feel like our best self. That when we put it on, we feel confident. Because when you feel confident, youre going to have a better day. We all have to stay to a schedule because we do want to know what life is going to be like when we come out of this. Reporter lets face it, what were wearing right now says a lot about how were feeling. [laughter] reporter this is the most stylish backing ive seen. Sophia tang is the creative director of bloomingdales. Im going to share some ideas. Reporter she gave us a private tour of the Flagship Store in new york. What kinds of things are you seeing people doing . There is the very logical and expected life clothes that are comfortable. Lounge wear, workout clothes, and were seeing a spike in pajamas. Reporter yes, comfort is key. Just ask robin givhan, a fashion adviser for the washington post. There are going to be good days and bad days. There will be days when your anxiety gets the better of you, when the stress gets the better of you. And i think sometimes it is okay if you just want to wear your pajamas and sort of take a moment. Reporter but cozy shouldnt define the day. I think if you have a favorite sports jersey or a favorite pair of sneakers that you love or a favorite piece of jewelry, just anything that kind of reminds you of happier memories. Reporter and memories are a big part of what Laura Lippman is doing everything evening. Lippman trades in those pajamas once a night for an outfit that has a special place in her heart. She photographs herself and posts the image on her instagram page. I did it, and i thought, wow, this feels great. I dont know why. But im of the mindset right now that anything that makes you feel good, you should be doing it. I really like the very basic lace and tailored jacket that i wore to my stepsons ba bar mitzvah 15 years ago. Reporter and back to mike kors, who is donating 2 million to Coronavirus Relief efforts. He sees a Brighter Future of style and substance. I think when we come through this, i think were going to see that no one wants to give up comfort. But at the same time, i think were going to all enjoy getting a little dressed again. I think there is going to be that moment that you want to put something on that gives you that boost of confidence. I dont think were going to live the rest of our days in slippers and sweats i hope not. Life doe the best part of wakin up is folgers in your cup dog healthy, with salmon, my becranberries.
