Where is she going with that cup . And Tony Dokoupil, does Stephen Colbert have a new hairdo . Welcome to cbs this morning. I know. From our homes to yours. All right, mr. Colbert. We begin with this. Not stevens hair or the little girl taking the cup from the toilet. We begin with more states letting businesses open up and pressure from the president for schools to reopen as well. At least 21 different states have now eased various restrictions, in many cases without meeting federal guidelines on the decline in the reported illnesses. Tony . And that includes texas. The second largest economy in the u. S. The new policy there starts friday. That would be may 1st. It involves a wide range of businesses but not schools. At least not so far. Janet shamlian is at the house of pies in houston. Janet, good morning. So will the house be open for people sitting down to eat on friday . Tony, good morning.

It comes as another states are making similar decisions right now. They are weighing economic viability versus saving lives. Texas is open for business. Starting friday, the Lone Star State will allow restaurants, retailers, Movie Theaters and malls to operate at 25 capacity under strict social distancing guidelines. We need to see two weeks of data to confirm no flare up of covid1919. But the states daily covid cases have been hovering in the high triple digits for most of the past week.

President trump suggested monday that states could consider reopening schools before the end of the academic year. But 43 states and washington, d. C. , have already ordered or recommends School Buildings remain closed. I think it would be a good thing because, as you see in terms of what this vicious virus goes after, young people steeemo do very well. But teachers and School Officials are very concerned about that. They say it could be close to impossible to keep students six feet apart in school. Here in texas, the governor is planning to increase testing. So far about 290,000 tests have been done. Sounds like a lot but its only about 1 of the states nearly 30 Million People. Anthony . Janet, thank you. The pandemic has taken more than 56,000 american lives, and one of the most widely used scientific models from the university of washington has just raised its projected death toll to more than 74,000. The Trump Administration is offering what the president calls a new strategy to increase coronavirus testing across the country. Ben tracy is at the white house. Ben, is this actually a new strategy . Not really. Most of this is a repackaging of things the administration has already done, but with the promise of more tests. Really this is a list of suggestions that states can follow. And the testing is not going to be a problem at all. President trumps new blueprint for testing does not set specific goals or timeframes and said the federal government should be a supplier of last resort. It still leaves it up to the states to create and manage their own testing programs. But the president hopes it will help states quickly reopen their economies. I recommend they do it as quickly as possible but safely. Reporter nearly 14 weeks after the first reported u. S. Cases, cbs news has learned the federal government plans to send every state enough test kits to screen 2 of their population every month. Overall, the u. S. Has conducted more than 5. 5 million tests, but thats just around 1. 6 of the country. Short of what some Health Experts say it will take to savely save safely reopen schools and businesses. In recent weeks, President Trump has been questioned whether a National Testing plan is needed. He says governors told him on a phone call monday they are happy with the federal response. The testing itself is going very well. No complaints. Reporter but thats not what some governors like virginias Ralph Northam and ned lamont are actually saying. In order to reopen our economy, we really need that testing. Im tired of asking. Were working with the big labs. Were going to put together our own testing protocol and get it done. Reporter some democratic lawmakers are criticizing the white house testing plan. Senator patty murray of Washington State says it will accomplish nothing new. But there is no doubt that we need more testing. A study out of harvard says that by june we should be testing 5 Million People a day and 20 million in july. Tony . Ben tracy for us at the white house, thank you. Lets get to david dr. Agus from los angeles. Hes going to talk about the new testing guidelines from the white house. Good morning. So the white house now has a goal of 2 of every states population tested every month. No timetable for achieving that, but lets take the number. 2 . Is that enough . No. Just an arbitrary 2 doesnt make sense. Every state needs a number of tests depending on the population and the density of its cities. And there needs to be a program. The thing that struck me was it said states develop their own program and decide what to do. We have the greatest epidemiologists in the world at the cdc. Faucis group at the nih. I would much rather have them decide what are the policies for surveillance screening, who should be tested, how we do our testing, and how we prevent a significant second wave from happening than leave it to the states at the present time. So just to underscore that. You are looking for a federal program rather than a series of programs state to state . I dont think the states have the many of them have the capacity or the people to put together a program that makes sense. In order to prevent a second wave you not only have to test the symptomatic people because this virus is dominantly asymptomatic. You need what we call a Surveillance Program so people go out and test people of different races, ethnicities, difference locations and soco economic classes to see where there are large numbers of asymptomatic cases so you can implement Public Policy there. There needs to be a real strategy, not just say leave it to the states for a strategy. Dr. Agus, another headline out of yesterdays News Conference was a suggestion from the president that states, quote, strongly consider reopening schools by the end of this academic year. What are the risks are doing so . Theres a recent study that showed that children much less incidents we think in getting the virus and dramatically lower incidence of getting really sick from the virus. The problem is they still can have the virus and can be asymptomatic and spread the virus. What worries me is if we put schools together, the kid comes home and have parents, grandparents, neighbors. We dont want them to be an invisible assailant, if you will, to come home with a virus that can harm others. Actually restructuring schools so that we may split classes so theres more social distancing. Kids Wearing Masks. There needs to be a strategy, not just say were going to open schools. All right. Dr. David agus, thank you very much. Gayle . Thank you both. Round two of the governments loan program to help Small Businesses got off to a pretty rocky start. Banks had problems getting loan applications into the Small Business administrations overwhelmed Computer System yesterday. Another 310 billion is available after the initial 349 billion ran out in just 13 days. Ed okeefe has that story. This program was developed to help small companies, and i think thats where they need to start and look at first. Reporter Samantha Canestro runs a business that makes seats for mass transit. It wasnt until last week, the 22nd, that i was able to finally get my application submitted. And that was after the first round of funds was already completely gone. Reporter for canestro and other Small Business owners, news that organizations like the l. A. Lakers were approved for a loan is hard to take. The lakers are valued at more than 4. 4 billion and are returning the more than 4 million they received. Im not spiteful for anyone that received it. Reporter scott owns the courtyard brewery in new orleans and was hoping for a loan to stay afloat. It makes for an unfair situation like we are the ones who really need the help and a lot of us arent getting it. Reporter even with the additional funding available, rob nichols, head of the american Bankers Association, said banks struggled on monday to submit applications. The launch this week was a little frustrating. You had banks desperate to help their millions of Small Business customers and clients all across the country. And the access to the system today was a little choppy. Reporter nicholas warned with about 30 million Small Businesses, this second round of aid is also likely to run out quickly. In the first round about 2 million Small Businesses that blew through that 350 billion. More than 2 billion has been returned or declined so far and will be made available to others. The Bankers Association says that banks need more guidance on how exactly to quickly get that funding to their customers. Samantha canestro tells me she needs to know by the end of this week whether shes getting that assistance or shell have to start cutting back. Anthony . Big dilemma for Small Businesses. A Goldman Sachs survey found 90 of the Small Businesses in their program applied for the loans, ed. 70 still waiting. Not a good number. Thanks, ed. In the last two months, tens of thousands of americans have died from the coronavirus and because of how contagious it is, some families have suffered multiple losses. Throughout this crisis, were sharing the stories behind the numbers. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud joins us from his home in new york. Good morning. Good morning. Well take you to louisiana and michigan. Both have some of the highest death rates when it comes to the virus. Minority communities have been hit particularly hard. As they have elsewhere around the country. Take michigan for example. Africanamericans account for 14 of the population. But they are 41 of the people who are dying from the virus. So well start in detroit. Youre about to meet a lady who lost her mother, grandmother and her aunt. March 26th was really kind of the day that, you know, changed everything. Reporter biba adams didnt know it yet but on that day shed say goodbye to two generations of her family. Its when my aunt passed. My mom went to the hospital. My grandmother went fo the hospital. And that would be the last day that i would see them all. Reporter her mother and grandmother, elaine and minnie head, lived together in detroit. They worshipped together at the same church. And they died in the same hospital just two weeks apart. And that is her mom, 70yearold elaine. She sang in the church choir. A retired school counselor. 89yearold minnie was the church mother. Losing them all at once was really overwhelming. Im thinking about what holidays are going to look like now. What so much of my historical legacy is lost. Reporter to south louisiana now. Kerstin duffy lost her husband. He had a larger than life personality. He sure did. At 67, keenan duffy was the life of the party. It was earlier this month the father two of from lafayette, louisiana, took his mother to the hospital. She tested positive for the coronavirus. And about a week later, he wound up in the same hospital. Did she know he was in the hospital . Not at first. We didnt want to tell her, you know, that he was in the hospital because we were still trying to get her to recover. Reporter kerstin says sceken kept fighting a fever. I cant have another night like i had last night. Reporter keenan duffy died april 14th. He would have turned 40. He leaves behind his wife, a stepdaughter and 11yearold son kaden. Anything you want to say about your dad that we should know . Hes very supportive of me, and football and hell be there at every game. He was always on the sidelines saying go get em, go get em. Kadens dad keenan had been at the Grocery Store after he dropped his mother off at the hospital. Theres no way to say where he may have contracted the virus. I will tell you, keenans mother is home. Shes recovering. She has survived. And she is Getting Better at her home in south louisiana. Gayle . Its nice to hear the good news of that, david. But this is the thing. Thats why i think its so important to tell these stories because so often numbers and statistics dont hit home. But when you can put a name and a face and see how these people were loved, it really makes a difference. And you brought that out when you hear the stories of both of those families. More than 50,000 people killed, gayle, around the country. These are just four families. Well keep telling them every morning. Families are willing to tell us those stories. Its important for us to hear. And families want their loved ones remembered. Many planes are flying almost empty during this pandemic. Thats a good thing.
