I get it. We begin with this historic illustration of the worsening coronavirus crisis. An alarming spike in the number of people so sick they cannot recover at home. So take a look at these numbers. In texas, the hospitalizations have more than doubled in the last two weeks alone. Arizona, the hospitals are at 89 capacity and in florida, in the last two weeks, hospitalizations in that state are up 40 . Its very concerning. Yesterday the nations top Infectious Disease expert, dr. Anthony fauci, sounded another note of alarm. We are still kneedeep in the first wave of this. And i would say this would not be considered a wave. It was a surge or a resurgence of infections. The u. S. Has recorded more than 300,000 new Coronavirus Infections so far in july. Our lead National Correspondent David Begnaud joins us now from miami beach. Good morning. So can hospitals there handle this new surge . Well, look, you have at least 44 icus that are reportedly at capacity statewide. And thats affecting decisions happening at the local level. Here in Miamidade County, the most populated county in florida, the mayor changed his mind last night. He said, im going to prevent outdoor and Indoor Dining but then said, i heard from medical experts in the Restaurant Community and i will now allow Outdoor Dining but you can only have four people in each table and you need to keep the music low enough to where people dont have to yell and spread droplets of the virus. Music is usually booming here on miami beach so that will affect them. Lets start this morning with the mayor of miami. In terms of the data that were looking at, the news is not particularly good. Thats the mayor of Miami Francis suarez. Hospitalizations here have more than doubled in the last two weeks. Now gyms, party venues, banquet halls and shortterm vacation venues are closed. Restaurants are forced to return to Outdoor Service only. It changes every single day. Reporter Steven Bradley owns clutch burgers in coral gables. Hes frustrated how the rules keep changing. Youll get an announcement saying oh, curfew starts tonight. And its in two hours. You cant be open. It affects everything. Reporter with florida adding over 100,000 cases in just two weeks, hospital officials are worried about staffing and supply shortages at hospitals across the state. 40 states are reporting increases in their average rate of new coronavirus cases. Including georgia where cases are up 47 in the last two weeks. One of those positive cases is the mayor of atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms who announced she tested positive along with her husband and one of her four children. All of my kids have asthma, but my husband and i dont have Underlying Health conditions. The mayor said she had no symptoms. With cases continuing to rise in california, governor Gavin Newsome expanded an order. It now affects 24 counties, including san diego. Where restaurants will now have to stop their Indoor Dining. Weve been seeing the crowds and restaurants around the area overcrowded. Weve been expecting it even before they made the announcement. Reporter back here on miami beach, nearby Broward County is apparently dliberating whether or not they want to follow the lead of Miamidade County in restricting indoor business here in south florida. Listen, we have word that the state as of yesterday issued a directive statewide ordering all Public Schools to open next month. The head of one of the largest teachers unions here in the state said apparently educators are scared the state is moving too fast. Vlad . A sentiment the public has heard from the president of the united states, as well, to open up schools crossing the country. In just two weeks, the number of coronavirus has nearly doubled in texes too more than 200,000. By contrast, it took nearly four months for the state to get to its first 100,000 cases. Janet shamlian spoke to a nurse there who fell ill with covid and warns it can happen to anyone. I thought i was invincible. Reporter Patty Peterson is a single mom to 3yearold paislee and kaislyn and helps raise her niece kensi. Shes been in a Critical Care unit. It felt like someone stabbing you in your sides when you try to inhale. You havent been able to see your daughters, have you . No, i havent seen them since july 2nd. They facetime we every day crying. Mommy, when are you coming home . Peterson doesnt know how or where she got coronavirus but is now one of almost 8700 texans hospitalized with the disease. The problem is before that curve really came back down, the state reopened. Reporter we spoke to Harris County judge lina hidalgo in houston. Do you have any dialogue with the governor about this . Were constantly in touch with his office, and my plea to the state has been i need the authority to issue an enforceable stayhome order. Thats the only way well stop pingponging between open and closed. Ask for more and more but they do nothing. Reporter greg abbott accused some local officials are refusing to enforce his executive orders, including a statewide mask mandate issued last week. Abbott resisted that move for months whereas hidalgo first ordered a mask requirement for Harris County in april. Now officials from houston to austin fear their hospitals could hit capacity in about two weeks. In the rio grand valley, hospitals are already overwhelmed. From her hospital bed, Pattie Peterson has this message for skeptics. Everyone is like, this is blown out of proportion until you are the person who has no contact with anyone and youre helpless. Patty is very sick. But shes hopeful shell be back with those little girls soon. This morning were outside ben topp hospital in houston which has had to transfer some of its patients out as its icu near capacity. This morning Texas Health Officials say there could be a potential spike again here later this week as mult peiple communities report the numbers from the july 4th holiday. Gayle . Oh, boy, janet. That news isnt good but sure thank patty for sharing her story. Maybe people will listen to her. Someone going through it. Theres growing concern that the coronavirus may spread farther than previously thought in those tiny airborne particles were hearing about. Those particles, for example, from a sneeze, can spread up to six feet without a mask. But more than 200 scientists are now urging the w. H. O. To reconsider their guidance on that when it comes to indoor spaces. Our chief medical correspondent dr. Jon lapook spoke with two of the scientists. Reporter researchers say the evidence is here. The coronavirus is likely airborne. When we cough or sneeze, larger airborn droplets containing virus can travel, usually up to about six feet. Smaller particles can be emitted by talking or singing and can go much farther and linger in the air for hours. They dont fall to the ground in six feet and can remain in the air for hours and potentially infectious for hours. What would you like the w. H. O. To do . Acknowledge that the risk goes beyond six feet. Reporter dr. Don milton cowrote the letter signed by nearly 240 scientists from around the world. How certain are you that aerosols are playing a significant role in the transmission of covid19, past 6 to 8 feet . You look at the restaurant outbreak in guangzhou. Several bus outbreaks in china. And its clear that one person could infect people over much more than six feet. Reporter in some circumstances, those aerosols can travel more than 30 feet. Each layer of protection helps, like this cloth mask that partially blocks an aerosol from a simulated cough. What implication does that have for somebody in their home or office indoors . You need to have everybody Wearing Masks who are not in the same bubble, and that you need to have good ventilation. Reporter improved ventilation systems are a top priority for andrew cuomo. If theres a way to filter the air and get covid out of the air, then we want to do that. Dr. Jon lapook joins us now. Were so hung up on six feet, six feet, six feet. Now i heard you say the particles can go 30 feet. Does that mean if somebody is 30 feet away from me that i can get it from 30 feet out now . Potentially. The aerosolization process itself with the tiny, you know, five micron particles floating out, drying out. Its rough on the virus but we have seen instances where it looks like that happens. For example, in superspreader events. Remember the choir in Washington State where one person looks like they infected 52 others. And it doesnt look like it could have been totally on the basis of just droplet, within 6 to 8 feet. Yes, i also heard the scientist say it doesnt just stay drop to the ground that it can linger in the air. How are we supposed to move in the world . What are we supposed to do . I think, you know, the scientists i spoke to like kim prather said, dont be afraid of this. This is an opportunity. Now that we know theres an issue, we can try to listen to it. For example, in buildings, we need to make them healthier. Improve the ventalation. Maybe we put filters in the air. Uv filters that can destroy the virus in the ducts. It shouldnt be scary to people. Open the window. Crack the door. Simple things. Once we know theres a problem, we have some of the greatest engineers on the planet in the united states. Now we know theres an issue. Lets deal with it. And start with the basics. Wear your mask. Wear your mask. Thank you, dr. Jon lapook. Always good to see you. Tony . Thanks, guys. Lets jump to politics. The white house is strongly defending President Trumps criticism of the only fulltime africanamerican driver on nascars top circuit. Thats Bubba Wallace. The president tweeted, has bubba wllace apologized after a suspected racist attack last month led nascar officials and others to rally around him . As chip reid reports, the president repeated a bogus claim that the incident was all made up. As coronavirus continues to spread, President Trump is taking aim at Bubba Wallace. In a controversial tweet, he called an incident where a noose was found in the nascar drivers garage a hoax. The whole point of the tweet was to note the incident, the alleged hate crime that it, in fact, was not a hate crime. Reporter it wasnt wallace but a member of his team who found the noose and reported it, prompting a widespread show of support from other nascar drivers. An fbi investigation found that the noose, used to pull open garage doors, had been in the garage since last year and was not placed there as a hate crime. Why is it Bubba Wallaces response to apologize for an investigation into a noose he didnt report and he never even saw. This was not a hate crime. And it would go a long way if bubba came out and acknowledged that as well. Reporter the president s tweet was met with criticism from within his own party. I dont think Bubba Wallace has anything to apologize for. They all rallied to bubbas side. So i would be looking to celebrate that kind of attitude more than being worried about it being a hoax. Reporter wallace himself tweeted, even when its hate from the president of the united states, love wins. The president also appeared to suggest that nascars decision to ban Confederate Flags at events had ruined their ratings, though ratings have actually increased since the ban was announced. But the white house insisted the president has no opinion on the Confederate Flag ban. The ban on the flag was mentioned in the broader context of the fact that he rejects this notion that somehow nascar men and women who go to these sporting events are racists. Reporter President Trump also defended the controversial names of the Washington Redskins and the cleveland indians. For years, both of those teams have been call on to change their names and both are considering that idea. The president called efforts to get them to change their names, quote, politically correct. Vlad . Chip reid, thank you. A reported racist attack on a black man is under investigation in indiana. The alleged victim posted footage of the event on facebook. Hes getting support from people in the community who held a rally to call for action. Our National Correspondent Jericka Duncan said police are looking into this claim that the men threatened to string him up. Stop. Let him go. Reporter a relaxing evening with friends turned violent after five white men allegedly attacked Vauhxx Booker and penned him against a tree. Let him go. Were going to as soon as you let him go. Reporter booker said the men dragged him, beat him and threatened to break his arms. Asking for a noose. They literally said the term noose. They yelled leave. Leave the boy with us. I wasnt even a man. I was a boy. No one invaded you. You stupid liberal reporter the confrontation began when the men accused him and his friends of trespassing. The men allegedly started yelling white power among other racial slurs. What are you going to call me . Reporter mayor John Hamilton said he was horrified by the attack and acknowledged racism still exists in his community. These are really painful times. Its a painful episode. Reporter on monday, hundreds of protesters gathered around the Monroe County courthouse to demand justice for booker. But the peaceful demonstration ended in chaos. After a car rammed into two people. One woman was taken to the hospital. No charges have been filed yet. Meanwhile, booker is waiting for charges to be filed against his alleged attackers and says hes grateful for those who stepped in to save him. I think the reason why im here today is because folks stopped being bystanders and they became active participants. And i hope we continue to see that Movement Grow throughout our nation. Reporter officers did respond to that incident saturday after booker says he call 911. But because officers didnt make any arrests, now people are calling for those officers to be investigated and suspended because they didnt take immediate action.

Major League Baseball released its shortened 2020 schedule last night. Players are getting ready to play ball for opening day, thats 16 days from today but theres a growing number of positive coronavirus cases and teams are now having trouble getting the test results back. So now this raises serious doubts that baseball and other sports can actually Start Playing this summer. Cbs this Morning Saturday cohost Dana Jacobson is following the race to return to the field. Reporter for baseball fans, the crack of a bat, even in practice, is a welcomed sound. But after a four month delay to the start of the season, new issues with testing continue to crop up.

Major League Baseball needs to work quickly to resolve issues with their process and their lab. The risk is evident across the sports landscape as players from all four major u. S. Sports and Major League Soccer have tested positive for the virus. The Atlanta Braves nick march ma markadis is opting out playing. The dallas franchise wont play in the nls tournament. Ten players and one coach tested positive after the team arrived there last month. And at least six nba teams have shuttered their practice facilities after a string of their players and staff tested positive. I see the potential for a world where there are no sports, no pro sports beyond whats already back or able to come back. Reporter dr. Zach binney says without daily testing it will be difficult to guarantee the virus isnt spreading. The key to testing is two thing. You have to worry about the frequency of the test and how fast the turn around is. A delay in either of those leaves a wider open for somebody to be sick and transmit the disease without knowing it. Reporter so what happens if theres an outbreak in cases . Thats one of the Big Questions out there.

Recorded more than 300,000 new Coronavirus Infections so far in july. We are still knee deep in the first wave of this. There was a surge or a resurgence. The white house is strongly defending President Trumps criticism of the only fulltime africanamerican driver on nascars top circuit. A reported racease tack on a black man by a group of white men is under investigation in indiana.

We begin with a blunt warning from the nations top Infectious Disease expert. Dr. Anthony fauci says the u. S. Remains knee deep in the first wave of the coronavirus. During a Facebook Live interview he blamed the surge on states and cities that reopened too fast. His comments come as 40 states reported an increase in the number of daily cases over the past two weeks. One of the states is california which hit a daily record of more than 11,500 new cases on sunday, that is among the highest single day totals in the country since the pandemic started. Carter evans is in santa monica, in Los Angeles County which has nearly half of californias cases. A lot of trouble there, carter. Good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Theyre taking this very seriously in santa monday ta. If youre caught not wearing a mask in public, police can give you a ticket for 100 bucks and businesses can be fined 500 for not following guidelines.

Also, californias positive test rate is now just under 7 , that is up from about 4 around memorial day, according to johns hopkins. Governor gavin newsom is expanding what he calls a watch list of 24 counties with concerning rates of transmission and hospitalizations. Those counties make up more than 82 of the states population, and people in those areas are being asked once again to close some indoor operations at businesses, including restaurants. Now, weve also learned the state capital in sacramento is shut down indefinitely right now after an assemblywoman and four staffers there tested positive. Gayle . Oh, boy. Oh, boy, carter, its happening everywhere. Thank you very much. Despite the surge of coronavirus cases in several states, President Trump wants the schools to reopen on time. Yesterday he tweeted this, schools must open in the fall. Today mr. Trump is hosting an event to discuss reopening with k through 12 and Higher Education professionals, students and their parents. Now this comes as universities try to figure out what to do. Meg oliver is near princetons campus in new jersey, of course. Meg, good morning to you. What are the plans for that school . Reporter gayle, good morning. Students will be allowed back on campus this fall for one semester of the academic year. Freshmen and juniors in the fall, seniors and sophomores in the spring. Administrators say most of the cases will remain online. Across the country the nearly 20 Million Students returning to college this fall can expect a very different experience. Alonzo hart, a rising junior at princeton, plans to take his college collapses nearly 7,000 miles from campus. After traveling to south korea for an earlier internship this year, hes decided to stay. I dont know if it would be the best idea to go back and completely expose myself in that environment, if people if not, everyones going to take it seriously, including college students. Reporter princetop, like many other schools, will require everyone on campus to wear Face Coverings indoors at all times, except when students are in their assigned rooms. To have to social distance and isolate everyone in their own room, its just not really appealing to me and doesnt really feel like the true college experience. Reporter incoming harvard freshman yazmin bezos was excited that it will welcome 40 of undergrads to campus, including all freshmen. Students will be tested every three days. I want to be on campus so i can start somewhat of a normal experience. Reporter do you feel youre taking a health risk by going back . Definitely not, especially considering my age. Fifs if i was a lot older id be concerned. Reporter some faculty members are concerned about the virus spreading quickly among college students. Last week more than 100 students living in fraternity houses near the university of washington reported testing positive for covid19. The chronicle of Higher Education looked at the campus reopening plans at more than a thousand schools. 60 plan to return to an inperson semester. 9 will continue all remote learning, and 24 will offer a mix, with the others still deciding. Schools also have to consider that students may not want to pay full tuition to learn online. The universities are absolutely under financial pressure, but that cannot be the driver of what happens. The health and safety of students, of faculty, of staff, administrators, that has to be first and foremost. Reporter former u. S. Secretary of education arnie duncan says he understands students frustrations and hopes they will see the big picture. Let me be clear, this is one single fall, and we have to be willing to do the right thing to get through this to get to the other side so the next fall and the next fall after that and the next fall after that will be much better for all of us. Reporter now if theres a campus outbreak, officials advise shutting down buildings to disinfect and working with Health Officials to trace contact if the Community Spread is substantial, they advise making sure that those inperson classes are suspended for a much longer period of time. Tony . Tough choices there. Meg, theres a big change coming this fall semester for International Students taking classes here in the u. S. What do we know about that . Reporter thats right. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says that International Students with visas under the student and Exchange Program cannot take a full course of online classes, which means they have to transfer to a school with inperson classes or leave the country. We talked with one pakistani student who has lived in the u. S. For 11 years and told us that leaves him in no mans land. The most recent numbers estimate that more than 1. 5 Million Students rely on those visas. Tony . Arne duncan says it right, talking about one fall here. Of course, if its one of the four falls you have for your college education, youre going to feel it. Meg, thank you very much.

In todays eye on known dead the line file your taxes is next week. Have you heard . The original midapril deadline was extended three months to july 15th because of this pandemic. Nearly 140 million americans have already filed their tax returns this year. Go you. But irs data shows more than 11 Million People are still waiting for their taxes to be processed. The average tax refund so far this year is 2,759. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger joins us now to discuss and sort it all out for us. Jill, help. My accountant called yesterday and said we need this form, this form, this form. Here we are. Even though we have the two extra, three extra month, people are still not ready. What do we need to know at this point . I think if the pandemic has shown us anything around tax time, it is that filing and paying electronically is preferred. You mentioned that number of millions of people waiting for their refunds. We know the irs has said thats of may the middle of may 4. 7 million paper returns hadnt been touched yet. So before you start, get your documentation together. Fire up your computer. And you want to file electronically. If you make less than 69,000, youre adjusted gross income youre entitled to Free Software through the irs. Just search irs free file. If you do owe money not everybody does, more people get refunds than not but if you do owe money you can also do that alexandr electronically. Some people get freaked out, sent paper checks out earlier in the spring and got no acknowledgement from the irs no check being cashed. My check was cashed so can you identifio can you doso kudos. You can file an extension. That gives you until october 15. Theres a form 4868. Again the irs website is what you want to go for here. No one is answering the phones at the irs right now or very few people. So you file for an extension. But an extension comes with a caveat. Even though you have extra time to file you got to estimate what you think you owe if you do owe anything and you got to send the money in advance. So october 15th, but you still have to pay what you think you might owe. I thought it was interesting you just said more people get refunds than not but what if you cant afford to pay what you know you owe . This is a real problem, obviously, right now. There are people who made money last year, maybe they owed taxes, but they were counting on full employment through the first three or four months of this year. Now they are sidelined. There are a number of methods. First of all, if you cannot pay, even if you could scratch together a few extra bucks you should pay what you think you can. Then there are these options. One is to go online. Get an extension to pay for 120 days. Online application. If you need more than 120 days, then youll need an installment agreement. There is a third method. I dont like this method. You can pay on debit or credit cards. Thats associated with higher fees. Youre much better off getting one of those two agreements through the irs if you cant find the money on hand to pay right now. Now millions of people got money from the government during this time. Does that money, is that money taxed . So lets think about this. We have two different forms of payment from the government. We have the Economic Impact payment and that would be money received now in 2020. So were talking about next years filing deadline. This would be in april. The Economic Impact payment not taxable. Dont worry about that. However, Unemployment Benefits are taxable. And if you know that youre getting these benefits you have to understand there are two ways that that money is going to be taxed. All at once next year, or potentially can you go to the irs website, have 10 of that money withheld. I highly recommend you do that if you can afford to do that to avoid a nasty surprise next year, gayle. All right, Jill Schlesinger. Nobody likes a nasty surprise. Ahead big day for ringo starr. A big birthday. See what kind of peace and love the former beatle is planning for todays im not going tell you. How old do you think ringo starr is . Youre watching cbs this morning.

A simple piece of fabric makes a big statement i care. Wear a mask. Lets all do our part to slow the spread. Activists in nebraska came up with a creative way to call others to action. Theres now a bright pink activism phone booth in the middle of omaha. It has information on local bills up for discussion and how to contact Public Officials with questions and concerns. To prevent the spread of coronavirus users are asked to wear a mask and use sanitizing wipes. Its just a prop. The booth was set up last week by bff, omaha. We spoke with the groups president about what inspired the project . It seemed you were going to make a phone call but forgot to. You drive by and see the big pink phone booth. If one person makes a call because of the phone booth it was worth it. Other cities have also reach out to get their own activism booths. Its an important thing. We do so much online these days bath reminder in the real world and physical world of something you may want to do later is really important. Youre definitely going to catch a sight of that as you drive by. Definitely so. Maybe more to come as well. Talking about other issues in other neighborhoods and communities picking up their own phone booths. Dont try to change in there. Doesnt look like privacy. Superman cant use that. Viral videos could teach us a lot of about how pandemics spread. Ahead researcher Adam Kucharski will explain what needs happen now to stop the coronavirus. This is a kpix 5 morning update.

You know the drill. We each pick a story i want to share at home and each other. Gayle, youre up figat. What have you got for us . Im first. Im thinking about Amanda Kloots. She lost her husband broadway actor nick cordero to coronavirus complications. Yesterday Amanda Kloots hosted a final and emotional singalong tribute to her husband. Kloots sang the song live your life a song he wrote. She used to go stand outside the hospital. She wrote 3 pick will forever remind me of nick now. She shared a lot of stories with us about nick. You know, she said on instagram he was surrounded by love, by his family singing and praying gently as he left. This is the thing about Amanda Kloots and why i admire her so much. Shes upbeat. When you guys you know her heart is breaking. But because she shared so much with us about nick i think we all felt we knew him. I got so many calls myself from people saying i cant believe hes gone. This is such a sad story. Our last interview with her was a week ago monday. She was so optimistic that it walked out of that interview saying hes going to be okay. Hes going to make it because of amanda and her enthusiasm. Now theres a go fund me for amanda and little elvis. I honestly, guys, i cant top thinking about the two of them. Amandas parents are here and she has a lot of Family Support at this time. We think of little elvis. Little elvis will not know his father in the traditional sense but he will know that his father was so loved and so respected and thats important. Living your life has now become a personal anthem for me because so its important when i hear those lyrics and the words that he wrote, its inspiring. So true, vlad. So true. You know, tomorrow was never promised thats the thing. Always a reminder not to take things or people for granted. Very true. Very true. So im talking about colin kaepernick. Hes been signed. Not to an nfl team but to a documentary deal. Espn films is producing new document year series about mr. Kaepernick. Part of a deal announced yesterday between disney and the information quarterbacks production company. The partnership will emphasize unscripted and scripted stories looking at race and social injustice and the series will focus on the past five years of kaepernicks life in particular. Kaepernick said i look forward to sharing the docu series on my life story and many projects were developing. Were living through a Golden Moment for documentaries and docu series. So this is a fantastic opportune for him to bring his story to a bigger audience. Im very happy for him. Id say its about time. All right, guys. My story is about a beatles legend celebrating a very big day with a little help from his friends. That clip shoes ringo starr with sir Paul Mccartney at radio city music haul for ringos he 70th birthday. That was ten years ago. They will do it again today as ringo turns 80. You teased it. Hes 80. The show will feature several others. Ringo, without ringo theres no beatles. Go back and listen to she loves you and here comes the sun, ticket to ride. If hes not careful hell get old one of these days. God forbid. I love it. Happy birthday ringo. Vlad, thats why i wanted to tease it. He doesnt look he 80. I look at him and think wow thats what 80 looks like . I want to look like him when i grow up. So happy for him and Paul Mccartney. That will be a great virtual concert. I love me some Paul Mccartney. That should be a nice magical moment. He looks 80 like another person i know looks 50. Who is that . Got to get some insight on the coronavirus and how it spread as the u. S. Dont fight to contain this virus. One professor shedding light on the science of contagion. Adam kucharski gave a ted talk predicting the next pandemic two years ago. He and his team at the London School of hygiene and tropical medicine is at the forefront of the spread of covid19. In his new book the rufflles o contagion he explores it all. Adam, what a timely book. Hard to think of a more timely book because really our world right now is being shaped by kind of two outbreaks. Theres the outbreak of the virus, coronavirus and the outbreak of misinformation and political information surrounding it and all converging around the facemask. Help us understand why something as a Face Covering has become so controversial . I think one of the impediments is early on in the outbreak there was uncertainty what the virus was, what the virus was doing and if you have uncertainty, very confident new information will come in to fill it. That information will have some issues and rumors. Now were seeing things kind of play into those kind of debates and, you know, unfortunately these kind of situations where theres uncertainty and people want something to kind of latch on to, thats where peopleee wh perhaps manipulating or putting disruptive stories into the mix, you know, really can thrive. Why does misinformation which is attractive when you find it online, you want to share it right away, why does it catch fire and now that it has caught firehouse do you stop it . How do you counteract it . I think theres a couple of features, which almost train us to value misinformation. And you trace that back we value information thats new, we think it will tell us something we didnt know before. If its false its information we havent come across. Also evidence that information that can trigger quite fundamental emotions like anger, disgust. Really can spread further than information that perhaps doesnt stimulate that kind of response. One of the main things to be aware of is that process of how these things work. Often when we see someone angers us we want to engage them. But youre just amplifying and helping that contagion youre in the forecasting business professionally for pandemics. The coronavirus has been challenging to forecast in america in particular. Weve seen our graphics very different from europe. What is about it this country that makes it challenging for people in your line of work . I think one of the huge challenges is just how quickly behavior and policies change to this epidemic. Of the of us are familiar with things like weather forecasting. If youre pessimistic with the weather that wont change what the weather does. If data suggests we got a problem and people change behavior, if governors and states change their policies youre going to see a different outbreak. Really trying to work out exactly what cases would look like in different areas in two or three months time is difficult. Is there something about america itself that makes it difficult to forecast . I feel as though the virus has brought out the best and worst qualities of us as a country. One of them is independence. A skepticism. Unwillingness to ref wisdom. Can you factor that in when you figure out how this will grow or not grow . I think theres emerging how people respond. Early on its enormously challenging because we just havent shut populations down on this scale since the 1918 flu. But independence is important. Asian countries, in taiwan they are very strict quarantines, almost electronic events. Ceo access to credit card data to do contact tracing. Thats not being implemented in other countries in the same way because theres a focus on individual freedoms and much harder in some case persuade people here to be quite disruptive measures. A lock down at home is a big disruption. Peer into the future and tell me how does this end . I think really were looking at a situation where we get a vaccine. Because at the moment the way the countries are keeping it under control, keeping it from being overwhelmed is social distancing. Some countries got it down. But you have to keep borers restricted to prevent cases coming in. Ultimately you want a situation where theres enough up minutization within the population so we dont have to deal with these disruptions. But a vaccine and avoiding a situation like new york or italy will be very difficult. When a vaccine arrives theres a question of how quickly people will take it. Do you have a sense of when in the final 30 seconds here . I think optimistically if we can have something by early next year. But it may not be a perfect vaccine and might not be one that everyone takes straightaway. And were back with where we are now. Adam kucharski thank you very much. The book rules of contagion is on sale right now. Ahead what you might call the magic cow bus. How this ice cream bus is bringing communities while the pandemic is hurting Many Small Companies one business in texas is seeing the opposite effect. Julie turrell dawson has been driving her cow painted ice cream bus in the ft. Worth area for over a decade now and now she said shes busier than ever.

The Mother Nature of people are shocked thats a thing or a job. Reporter ten years ago Julie Turrell dawson quit her day job and started selling ice cream to spend more time with her kids. When the coronavirus pandemic hit she had every intention of shutting down her business and staying home. Then the calls started. Snow ball. Somebody saw, somebody called, somebody booked, somebody called. It was at that repeat. What is it about ice cream that is just resonating with people right now . Ice cream to a lot of people teen she a comfort food. Reporter this comfort food has turned into a cash cow for dawson, giving joy to those customers who lost so much. I have a tinge bit of guilt, sometimes, when i think about it because i do know so many families that are not able to make money right now. Businesses are suffering.
