We all know there's a COBIT epidemic rocking this country. You may not know there's also a looming epidemic of evictions and epidemic Ted Koppel will tell us that could soon go from bad to worse.

Then, with more than a million Americans getting tested for COBIT every day and sometimes waiting days for the diagnosis will report on a game changer on the horizon. A test you can take it home with nearly immediate results. Contributor Allison Aubrey will tell us all about it is the beginning of the pandemic access to quick and convenient testing has been a big challenge.

So what can be more convenient than doing it yourself so you have real-time information.

Can I go visit my mother or cannot. Yes, now you would still social distance and store mass but you assure yourself to assure your elderly mother or grandmother that you're safe. A new paradigm for testing on Sunday morning then will move on to a very special birthday for a television network that's a welcome guest in millions of America's homes. I'll have a salute to PBS at 50 birthdays do not go un-celebrated on PBS, so we thought we'd take note of PBS's 50th. Any thoughts you have about how to make it go for another 50 years. Our job is to be courageous. I know no one more courageous than Fred Rogers. Happy birthday baby yes after century, I had this Sunday morning.

It's Sunday morning for 6 December 2020 and will be back in a moment it happened this past week, a coalition of Democrats and Republicans came closer to agreeing on legislation aimed at helping those impacted by the covert pandemic including millions threatened with eviction. Here's senior contributor Ted Koppel no grain student during home is where the hard skirmish.

There's no place like home for the holiday.

So what happens when a family is evicted from their home. It's catastrophic with parcels in the shoes of a family convicted these days. Matthew Desmond is principal investigator of the eviction lab at Princeton University were he is also a sociology professor when he was our neighborhood, our kids loses their schools. Often we lose all things our possessions because they are piled on the sidewalk or taken by movers. Back in 2008 2009, Desmond spent 18 months living in low income neighborhoods studying the impact of eviction is 2016 book on the subject. One the poultry products estranged from her for years made the situation much worse. People lost their jobs continue and were seeing people really a threat of eviction during a time where your home is the best medicine. Your home is what you getting sick has already had devastating economic impact. One in four American households has experienced job loss or diminished income. Predictably, perhaps black and Latino families are taking disproportionate hit on this guy that we are going to be place of this rental property garbage bags and boxes with most of her worldly possessions were about to join Margaret Edie and her husband John on the street in Hampton, Virginia. Please share anyone in the finest social media audience was listening, they didn't respond when I spoke to Margaret.

The Utes were living out of their car. Weather permitting the elite in a public park. There are no designated restrooms for the homeless.

Utes use the facilities chain gas station convenience store. John's hours driving a tractor trailer hauling trash been cooked waiver only what's the most difficult of not having a whole where about my going to Katz Kovach and also waking up in the morning and find places to go to shelter so everything you've got the world's current everything. This that we have and then we have like some of our stuff right yeah basically I like to do now. It was called last night.

If you take that one situation arriving on one family and multiplied by millions will be in a lot of pain.

If we don't address this crisis last September, the Centers for Disease Control, citing increased health risks from eviction during the covert pandemic issued an eviction moratorium through December 31 for people who can't make the rent while protecting the Sultan perhaps even most renters from eviction. It still requires the payment of all that back rent on January 1 and provides no relief. The order averted a wave of evictions, but it's abandoned Jennifer Pearson is separated and lives in this house with her three children. Last March she lost her job working at a fast food restaurant since the summer she works her part-time job as a cashier in a grocery store. It pays roughly $225 a week. Your monthly 1050 will we got permission from the local library in Gloucester, Virginia to use their Wi-Fi connection for this interview, you will be your entire page and cover your rent from all now and that's why I'm looking for the second top series. Jennifer and her kids are protected against eviction by the CDC order but there are loopholes in September.

Jennifer's landlord file for eviction.

Not only my faith in the eviction for nonpayment. He's also pout on what he calls violations that I have to fix which I arty have the grass wasn't cut by my lawnmower had broken down and I had let him now, so in order to keep on top of the kids and I were taking turns with the weed Wacker is roughly 2 acres of grass and you were trying to go after the record we as you confront to change. I have and yes I have had many nights but I know that even with being evicted.

I won't be homeless. I have family I can live in with it will just be really tight quarters but all I care about is keeping a roof over my kids had landlord. I absolutely do business then you have anything pay for what you're getting. Rick Brown is not Jennifer Pearson's landlord he does 08 similar properties in Winchester, Virginia, mainly single-family homes in roughly the same price range as Jennifer tries to maintain those homes himself. He says half of his tenants are paying their rent understand that we cannot go to court and admit people for nonpayment of rent. You do understand it's a moratorium. In other words, not eliminating the rent on January 1 that tenant would still owe you every nickel here showed you before correctly understand however I'm struggling to pay my bills treading water.

I meet a tough deal right now for landlord like you say will eventually get what we might not get paid but we need to get some minor that can pay the rents and keep the banks from wanting to foreclose on up to the max. Need to get paid, and it can damage landlord credit lines as well. Brown is part of a lawsuit challenging the legitimacy of that CDC eviction moratorium this my retirement. Ted is also my livelihood so I'm not a coldhearted person in the bottom line is I don't have my money. I have other tenant that their house would be put at risk to you know it's a domino effect it's convenient to allocate sync our tendency is to blame landlord tenant but I sync you're saying. Neither one of those is totally appropriate.

It's the system you know we reached the point in the United States where people are getting evicted because their irresponsible getting evicted because it's almost double.

Wendy Dickerson would meet most people's definition of a good tenant. She and her family had lived in the same townhouse for 13 years college grad going for a Masters degree.

She worked as a drug counselor earning $50,000 a year until the facility closed because of the pandemic and for the first time in her life. She says she faced eviction. Also work with the thought of being homeless, being in the lie that I have been serving it with overwhelming when he also has multiple sclerosis with a underlying condition like my, where they threatened to evict you at the Dixon letter. Yeah when you Dickerson has her product so she withdrew all her savings and moved before she could be evicted.

Eventually she found a job working with the mentally ill what I was making before making tell me about the pleasure and walk more than I was thinking maybe you should stay where you were now one of the pandemic. I have multiple start okay with out like I think America right now is compassion a brother. We are Wall Street, we can build out the what about getting the money to landlord to the tenant so they don't have to pay back money. There's a moral cost to being the most resource. The richest country on the planet that chooses to see hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of families lose our home in January 1 we can do better than that of the country.

We should all my I want to tell you about our new shout business podcast and each episode meet weekly gastric and cover all the quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist because well and maybe you did to the newest interior design trend Barbie car to the right and wrong way to wash her also getting the things that you just kind of well probably not able to do in daytime television. So watch out. Tristan is ever you get your podcast. It's a good news on the got is take-out with preacher Garrett this week Stephen Law ally of Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia. Georgia is right up there, but New Hampshire's products to New Hampshire people really just don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take-out with major Garrett on Apple podcast forever. You get your podcasts images of long lines of people waiting hours for covert tests have been a staple of newscasts for months, but now it's possible an innovative company in a somewhat out-of-the-way place will change all that NPR's Allison Aubrey explains that Bethlehem Pennsylvania was for you.

Smokestacks are relics now a very different kind of industry is thriving in the Lehigh Valley.

This company was actually founded in the shadows of the old Bethlehem Steel Stephen Chang is the CEO or shore technologies, a biotech company that produces diagnostic test you can do at home as millions of Americans lost their jobs last spring or shore started hiring all of this open all through the more people to worry sure pioneered the first over-the-counter HIV test kit which gives a positive or negative to a user in just a minute everywhere from Walmart DDS. Our experience in looking at pandemics, particularly HIV around the world were the only way to test people was to develop a self test seem to be ultimately the right answer for this pandemic.

We can't have people circulating public waiting to get tested.

The best way to test people's have the ability for anybody anywhere anytime to test himself. The HIV test was a big success for his scrappy company based far away from the traditional centers of innovation. I know the community well here in Lehigh Valley. I raise my family here. This is an interesting part of the country where I think you get the best of being a mid-Atlantic Northeast population with a good dose of Midwest values and it's a good fit with the values having parents. Scientists who taught me to love science and find ways to tell people now tying his company are trying to do for cultivated what they did for HIV long waiting times for covert, 19 testing and ongoing supply shortages granted emergency use authorization for itself. Collection devices in late October so we have products in the marketplace right now that allow you to sample yourself.

This is a saliva collection to spit into this setting and mail safely. These kids need to be mailed off to a lab. They haven't yet solved the biggest challenge they need for instant results. This is a very fast moving virus when somebody gets infected with the coronavirus. They are often by the time they are symptomatic. For example, they have probably already begun transmitting Dr. Michael minute is an assistant professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health as airports filled up over the holidays and cases and deaths continue to search.

He says the country would be safer if we had prioritized the kind of task or shore and its competitors are developing. People are waiting more than just a few days to get the results three days pretty much starts to make these tests almost useless for that individual. One day is already pushing the first COBIT 19 testing can be done completely at home was approved in November, but it's not yet available nationwide and requires a prescription or shore now hopes to have its test on the market by the first quarter of next year so you look at the test strip as a control line is a test line with an hour.

You know the result say no waiting in line waiting for labs waiting for the results come back you on the result, yourself, knows that training is key company had hoped to have the test on the market by now but as a scientist, he also knows the importance of having it right.

It's not instant gratification approach, you can take to developing new products.

The science takes time to happen. He said there HIV test, which is very similar to the COBIT testing developed so it means that you can test yourself anywhere anytime in any circumstance to get the result you need to call your doctor and ask for them to write you a prescription ultimately went where hoping this leads to people empowering themselves more about themselves, but if your test is not 100% what if it's something a little less helpful. The test will be helpful. The reason is because you allow people to be tested more frequently. Real-time information, even if it's a little bit less precise is more important than very precise information that you get frequently the company is aiming for at least a 90% sensitivity rate for its over-the-counter test Dr. minutes says tests are key to preventing more gaps, even with vaccines on the way, it will likely be Midsummer before one is available to all Americans. We don't know how easy or hard it's going to really be to get the vaccine out. We don't know how durable the immunity to this vaccine is going to be have to have contingency plans and we have to have tools for right now. For his part Stephen Tang says the tenet where shore is gearing up to give us the tools we need to keep ourselves safe right now and into the future for the people here working in his R&D labs pretty much 24 seven for the last nine months and so were not insistently work long hours working as long hours because there on a pursuit really change the world. We of course are very proud that Sunday morning will be marking its 42nd birthday next month, but we have to admit that when it comes to longevity the Public Broadcasting Service has us beat. Hence this salute to PBS at 50 shows everybody know it's amazing how many of them have been on PBS the Public Broadcasting Service people and we all know to Julia child was the very first viewers saw when PBS went on the air fast-forward years for a birthday and what we think we know about PBS and what may be we don't wondered where Sherry first, there's that PDS gives life. The pledge drive tell me you don't get your pleasure out of watching something like thank you very much for not turning me into a delicate the nations 350 PBS stations couldn't survive without the money raised to stop the subsidy to PBS, I'm to stop other things I like previous all a big bird. What gets more attention is the federal funding. Currently, $450 million a year, or about a dollar 35 per taxpayer that some politicians over and over have tried and failed to zero out government funding. For example, represent 15% is 15% of the funding comes into public television. That money actually goes to our stations all occurred or is president and CEO of PBS. Some of our stations in smaller parts of the country, the percentage of their budget that is government money is is closer to 40 or 50% and in bigger cities. It maybe six or 7%.

Good evening everyone, W CTE, Cookeville, Tennessee gets $600,000, nearly 1/3 of its annual budget. That is our very foundation is the lifeline for the station, Becky Missouri heads W CTE.

Thank you so one of around 80 similar rural PBS station. It serves the upper Cumberland 14 counties between Nashville and Knoxville beautiful country isolated and impoverished friends visit from Washington DC or Los Angeles, they'll drive in and say where the other TV stations. While there are no other TV stations where it for miles. Missouri grew up in Cooksville. She started at W CTE is that stations first student intern and never left. She's run cameras and sound hosted shows I met you on your 8173. I will not end once when sisters Frankie and Patricia Murphy couldn't get their TV to work. This is remark here. It was up and she even drove out and fix their antenna for them just recite that you know is what I think it reports like it down into the regional by carriers there grateful for whatever W CTE puts on living in a region trapped in the digital divide spotty self-service and no Internet.

You can go about K Hartigan to your cloud. Listen to what Roy sells watches W CTE Nitro law. The new give your view on own airport and he likes Ken Burns documentaries. I never met him. He seemed like a down-to-earth guy you know you got a great career a great career. If there's one name that synonymous with PBS, it's Ken Burns I see you all working together. Yes, this represents sort of 2 1/2 editing teams. We visited him in New Hampshire before COBIT for nearly 4 decades, he's been producing blockbuster award-winning documentary for PBS 29 so far with another decades worth in the works, the principal one here for the time being is on three parts, etc. series very complicated with audiences averaging 40 million for his films.

Ken Burns probably more than any other American is shaping our understanding of history. Adults are watching but if it's a school day, so our kids PBS where in every classroom in the country. We know how to reach every classroom in the country and do all entering COBIT arguably more important than ever as PBS and its member stations help school systems deliver remote learning to millions of students on PBS.

Even the cartoons are educational. This is the one they were like a magic door for 27-year-old Dray read growing up poor in Southwest Philadelphia watching PBS station WH why why dreaming of making cartoons himself and is there PBS no exaggeration changed his life was PBS religiously. All cartoon cartoons with all watching for a new age of 12.

I could probably have a conversation with someone in their 50s on topics that they find interesting when he was in high school. One of his teachers recommended him for an afterschool program at WH why why yes, yes, because the work you know with the Wolof presidents dollars know what these this is one of those wait, there's more stories now Dray read works at WH why why teaching video production in more than 40 schools and lately during COBIT online drawing classes sponsored by the station and PBS was a person I would like to be that person for another person is when it opened up the world to me to think about way birthday testimonials don't get much better day. The raw fish and rice. Delicacy sushi is rarely been more popular with the traditional Japanese restaurants that help put sushi on the map are starting to disappear. We get the cold facts from Lucy Crafton Tokyo would be stopped by last January she disassociate was still hanging out its hot shingle had five years getting damaged to a tiny counter to feast on delectable morsels gathered at dawn from the seafood market. We take pride in our to shift how to woke up hottie told us never serve frozen fish only fresh Chivas was where locals savored a sense of community, much as the handcrafted jewels salmon row and raw tuna fishing business changed over the years was in the old days they were 30 sushi shops in this part of Tokyo. He said now the last one this summer as the pandemic raged Chivas as elderly staff finally called it quits.

Dozens local sushi eateries closing for good in 2020. Eating Chivas is lunch are brutally efficient mega chains like Cuda sushi here customers seek themselves using screens that operate by simply pointing without actual contact next patron scan a digital code with their own smart phones to download menus and order food which is with to their table, paying the self checkout customers consume entire meals ever coming into contact with restaurant staff.

She has done to date etiquette of the old sushi counter walk is Carnival with shooting gallery prizes endless Lord novelties like cheesecake and onion rings are constantly added to the menu.

If this seems like the McDonald's of sushi. It's no accident sushi which is launched in the US aims to double in size 1000 locations by 2030. Sales of higher before the pandemic to be in a car with fast food chains spokesman told before coronavirus soaring fish prices manpower shortage and competition from the big chains wiped out more than half of traditional sushi restaurant. According to a government survey and with most owners at or near retirement, the pandemic is accelerating the demise of neighborhood sushi unrepentant. The big sushi chains argue they are the true heirs to Japan sushi tradition in the 19th century, sushi was sold from outdoor stalls cheap and filling snack for the masses chains spokesman said to be accessible to everyone. Charge just a dollar plate handcrafted sushi is becoming a luxury offering dramatic decor and wine pairings. Sushi M places at chef center stage. They practice in the mirror to see what they look like from the customer's perspective food writer Melinda Joe calls this performative cuisine. It's not like the customer is always right as we think in the US you are meant to enjoy the peace sushi exactly as the sushi chef has tended to be served artisanal sushi.

Needless to say, is priced accordingly $200 for the tasting you at sushi M. I talked to another critic.

He was saying to see dirt cheap Park style discount volume places and then we'll see the kind of place that were in right now is catering to the 1%. That's the trend it's certainly something that we're seeing already happening for most Japanese sushi is becoming a commodity not fashioned by craftsmen cranked out by robot if everyone is only eating these kind of cheap sushi places no one really starts to learn about the unity of sushi, a new sort of citizen activism as contributor David Sedaris all fired up.
