That means curtain going up on a season of theater packing new movies. Of course this is not most years. Still, the show must go on as Lee Cowan reports in our cover story here has Hollywood been well this sign getting the cameras rolling again is no easy task.

I honest to God have no idea what is gonna look like. I don't think any of us to. There is no one-size-fits-all. In terms of what to do. Save SPV first summer without walk ahead on Sunday morning, singer-songwriter Josh Grogan is off the live concert stage for the moment, but he's hardly silenced with Tracy Smith this morning will take note. Josh Grogan is used to playing in arenas. Thousands of adoring fans.

Now all will one of the ways that you're connecting with fan is by sharing songs from your shower little thing that can give me something to get back which means a lot. Josh Grogan saw this. There is a rising star in many American kitchens during this covert crisis Martha Tyson are will give us a taste. Oh, if only you could smell it. What aroma is more primal and and kind of makes you happy smell of bread wafting through the house looks is that why so many homebound Americans are baking their own bread.

Rock is beautiful, the need to need coming up this Sunday morning, Knighton offers us a unique view of the Statue of Liberty still standing tall Nicholas Thompson takes us on a Wikipedia search Tony to COBOL talks with Star Trek star Patrick Stewart, plus Peter Greenberg on how will soon be traveling or not. Along with Jim Gaffigan, Steve Hartman, and more for this Sunday morning 24 May 2020 will be back in a moment.

The show must go on is a familiar expression in the world of entertainment, but doesn't hold up. When a pandemic threatens the summertime tradition. Our cover story as reported by Lee Cowan is a creature alive today survived millions of years of it was the summer of 1975 beating the heat was about going to the movies, one in particular shows draws summer blockbuster summer was to be read Susan Stout Top Gun map theaters again in the summer was latest Ghostbusters venture after 119 pushed back some reasonable replica making 2020. Sometimes silence of the box office.

Our industry was one of the first to be hit is a result of the way we work, we will be probably one of the last industries to come back Gabriel Park Terrace is president of SAG AFTRA just one of the Hollywood unions figuring out safety protocols to get the cameras rolling again. There's a lot of anxiety. People want to do it right away that we keep saying let's look at the research because you're getting the ball twice want to do it right the first time, more than 200,000 jobs were lost in the motion picture and sound recording industries April workers were otherwise been flooding sets not so glitzy reality. The street it make social distancing difficult at best.

Terrace knows well starting at 902-1090 version and the recent adoration and can you imagine that kind of issue being done terms in a different different shell to be a different experience for you as an act of its already. I just know in my world like when I go back my window to get noise out whole. It certainly can't look like bits this screen good. What it's all there. With the birth, but let me tell you so. I cannot wait to get the hell out of that problem often, chairman of Sony pictures payments motion picture group. I would necessarily write off the second half of the summer. We may try to sneak in a movie do the mechanics of shooting again safely are largely manageable. There will be best practices put in place will be discussion with the unions. I think it's very doable.

What's challenging what happens on the other side of there will never be a time pandemic or not, where the audience does not want to hear about it just a heroin because the nose out getting a virus we would be required. Streaming giant Netflix is already try for a long time people joke.

Other than that there's too much on Netflix but that's Ted's random content chief that Netflix seen subscriptions skyrocket. What he says it's already back in production on a supernatural thriller called, no shooting in Iceland they been experimenting with color coding to break up the crew.

Everyone is tested and everything from props to costumes sanitized on regular basis to think, that'll slow down production of things for sure that I kind of think about it as airport protocols post 9/11 certainly slow things down. But in a way that made people feel comfortable to fly at some of this, I think so. Binging in a voracious rate working meeting since you got enough content to last until the end of next year that are the first day that we were shut down. We had a pitch meeting some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, pitching a new series. The next day animated series Netflix is bigmouth have continued production without missing a beat. What is your current grooming situations reading I call it the broad cast even doing table.

Sue, the interesting side affect of all this might be that the time for stories to marinate I think actually will be beneficial. On the other side of this.

If history is any guide, there will be another side to this industry.

Emily Carmen is Prof. of film studies at Chapman University near Los Angeles. I don't know what industries going, but I know they will prevail because if you look at the arc of the film industry. This tedious find a way to regroup and take it back to that moment and continue the height of the silent movie here the Spanish flu and became one point this Mary Pickford Phil watch's needs and proud of massacring train passenger runs away. That movie was made after the pandemic brought Hollywood to its needs. Action was halted and theaters were closed, then to Pickford herself became seriously you but both she and the movies the Great Depression which still gave us some of the most enduring and uplifting films there dressed impeccably beautiful Art Deco stage is sometimes an exotic location is everything that the person was exactly and for 90 minutes.

TRAC forgot where you where you would have provided escape through calamities before will be rough going for a while. Almost certainly, those at the top of the movie from James yet when television came along it was like television then videocassettes came along. Well, that's the and then 300 cable channels will know that there is no end that experience of being with other people laughing, crying, curing what makes us all rising star of our stay at home times as Martha Tyson or tells us the proud accomplishment of many an amateur baker on the violin until Mark was halfway when Kovic 19 shut the country down leave, she found herself near that dreadful man.

Everything went out and we couldn't get bread who seen those empty shelves had about 1/2 a bag of flour left in the freezer. Bridget Bivens went from cooking to baking bread. Something new for the transplanted New Yorker when I was a girl. I Then what Terry Bradshaw with commercial yeast really hard to find, like hordes of bored and newly cost-conscious Americans. Bivens decided to make her own sourdough, which starts out as nothing more than flour and water set out to ferment and grow is all just like Audrey. The voracious Little shop of horrors sourdough stone others demand to be fed more and more flour and they have names.

Take a look and burn Diane von Furstenberg time and clap back at our down here.

A lot of Lazarus because Amanda Schlagel gets a lot of sourdough question. She is one of 15 experts taking calls on King Arthur flowers bakers line this time year.

Things usually slow down right now our calls have gone up quite a bit. Our emails have also doubled if not triple. I think you can get away with using it for cookies, quick bread and were receiving around 350 calls a day since it selling leases many bags of flour, as it did in December a big holiday baking month yeast sales are up more than 600% over a year ago why you think that people suddenly want bread at a time. This is comforting bread is one of the most comforting and nurturing of foods what aroma Martha causes us to know in a Pavlovian way salivate immediately before coronavirus Jim Lahey Sullivan Street bakery in New York City supplying more than 300 restaurant's now it's down to a dozen doing. I think 25 of now with this lady's no need bread recipe has become a home cooks during troubling times creating edible art is a magic trick worth knowing.

I just like this simple. I like that it's for ingredients, flour, water, salt, and ease for Dr. Craig Spencer baking bread is everything the rest of his life is not. He is an emergency room doctor in New York City.

When I walked in about a month. It felt like Apocalypse department where normally we have 30 patients there were over double that was unlike anything that I see below in 2014, Spencer survived Ebola himself and he was uniquely qualified to treat coronavirus but it's hard to take care of patients all day. It's even harder to do so when you're afraid of getting infected even harder to do so in your doing goggles and masks and gloves that was even harder is the mental exhaustion that comes which is high. The bread Dr. Craig Spencer makes for his family to eat bread nourishes him more control in the hospital so frustrated for so many of us is that there is not a treatment is not a cure. This is today's creation. I think Brian is this release from the stress that we feel every single day. You and Scott are last year's Memorial Day weekend launches the summer travel season. So what about this season here.

CBS News travel editor Peter Greenberg. It's kind of jarring 400 passenger planes and normally be zipping through the skies are not part of the California desert row after row with thousands more grounded elsewhere. AAA somewhere on this year.

The AAA is even making a guess as to how many people will hit the road side white. They're expecting all time will travel will bounce back, but for now it's just inching back in your experience will be nearly the same. Let's start with your hotel traveler to check back in a much different today, CEO Christmas and here's your. Close your eyes and go to your room with your digital key affect any other than your phone, you'll open your room with your phone in the room you open will have been cleaned like never before. Masked housekeepers will pay special attention to things like white switches and TV remotes, and when they're done they'll put a seal on the door would clean the room we will see what you will be the first one we will not until you leave, or until you discuss to come back in it and now Scott is travel his drop by as much as 90%.

United Airlines is now flying fewer passengers per day that it has pilots but for those who are flying experiences different and not necessarily a good way food-service support is mostly gone and got a go one European airline Ryanair is making passengers raise their hands permission to use the laboratory.

That's not the case for US. Yet there's an entirely new disinfecting program early claim priority going on were not looking so one of a mixed drink more concern for many Oscar Munoz's executive Chairman of United assuming the place for a while like it's a place for a while you saw my love.cutlery number.

Hopefully this will like other airlines. United already has systems in place to make flying safer, better cleaning of seatbacks and trading things like electrostatic spray to disinfect every social distancing is impossible to play United was called out a few weeks ago when a passenger tweeted the photo of a packed flight recently went viral drawn seems to be over X percent number if you are uncomfortable with like three hours later. That is really your plans allow flexibility not size for your upcoming flight may also be cheaper. You can find a lot of parking place right now. Some airlines are losing $100 million a day. You can also expect fewer flights and more turbulence ahead now again let's get through this crisis and say prayer or whatever it is you just our industry world. Guess you could say that one in the entire industry is basically ground. There is no place to go but up with this week.

Stephen Long live Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm moneyman list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed what Nevada not Georgia. George is right up there, but New Hampshire's products to New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take out with Maj. Garrett on Apple podcasts forever. You get your podcasts from the Shakespearean stage to the vastness of space. Actor Patrick Stewart has been on quite a journey in his long career, including recently down time with Tony to Coble of CBS this morning. Yeah it is a beautiful way to go and I shot a lot more when you're winning them when I went the first thing you should know is the ping-pong happened before the coronavirus is much point we try to communicate championship points much point and it was her Patrick Stewart's idea. What exactly are you trying to convey this very little significance about this one is maybe the last ball.

We have if you're surprised well jumping the mess, but to challenge and I was throwing the rack that I thought it turns out the actor behind such sci-fi gentlemen as the X-Men's Prof. Xavier's and Jean-Luc Picard Capt. of the USS enterprise is much more than either his title is accent might toss his grandfather and for that reason, his career was also unexpected is Stewart's celebrated return Star Trek car big-budget reboot of the franchise. Now streaming on CBS All Access part of Viacom, CBS, Stewart is also an executive producer that you always want to contribute as an executive producer I was tonight to new series on so much work to do. I really the first company is I didn't have a life or social life a whole week 12, 13, 14, sometimes 15 hour day week on Saturday morning I would allow myself that I would do my own laundry, which is it's an obsession long before he was knighted by the Queen of England were hailed by nation of so-called Trekkies piece to his friends call him grew up in poverty in northern England. His mother was a textile worker and his father, a war hero who brought some of the battle home.

He also was unfortunately we cannot call equipment we can often difficult, troubling to escape the chaos and the noise he would read in the only place he could be alone the family out house the radio. Radio and television before so being part of a successful television show good same probable profoundly improbable since what happened was completely unexpected. Stewart's next refuse became the theater. 26 he was hired by the William Shakespeare company spending the next two decades with the Bard before a chance meeting led to his casting on Star Trek. At first Stewart struggled television as he explained over a post ping-pong beer with his wife Sonny Roselle.

I lectured my fellow cost members about some of the fooling around sex and jokes ruining shot silence is Crosby who said we gotta have some fun and I said no. I said that became legend as I progressively got sillier oral report to give us a little after seven seasons, and for movies though he was ready to move on to other roles, only to discover that some in Hollywood struggled to see him as anything but the captain he felt for years that I'm putting words in your mouth here, but felt for years that all the time exactly that that was something of an albatross in terms of your creative life is for a while. How much time that was my escape lien Sonny singer-songwriter Matt while he performed Macbeth at the Brooklyn Academy of music these days the only escape on Stewart's mind is from the virus is. This is my six years in which I have been some but even now he's not completely idle. Shall I compare the two. From his home in Los Angeles. He's been sharing sonnet a day returning to the words that he first read as a boy.

The words of Shakespeare lifted him world where no one will know something so I can see so long as this this life to the standing tall in New York harbor Statue of Liberty can only be viewed from a distance right now, not about to get up close and personal tech Paul Davidson spent nights inside of the Statue of Liberty from 6 PM to 7 AM.

He and his team carried out the first of its kind laser scan of Lady liberty capturing the statues interior during the hours when it wasn't packed full of tourists.

Do you look back tonight and thank now, during the daytime and was silent in the Statue of Liberty are currently closed. All visitors shut down due to Cove in 19 which actually makes this the perfect time to use some of Davidson's work. The images he captured during those long nights have just been turned into a virtual tour. Now all those who can't visit in person can explore the statue on mine like never before and 60 the virtual tour includes many areas would traditionally be off-limits to visitors team also laser scan every nook and cranny getting that data was no easy task challenge for survey that is never in one piece that we were probably five or in really ranges statue was meant to sway its flexible support system was designed by French architect Alexandra Gustav Ifill to part of his tower in Paris when liberty enlightening the world was dedicated in 1886 the highest structure in all of New York City, a triumph of engineering instant international icon conditions under which it was for nothing more to celebrate or see read on the Davidson's been documenting the statue as part of the National Park Service's historic American buildings survey virtual tour is just part of the project scan will serve as a high-tech three-dimensional blueprint for everything from research to reconstruction if, God forbid, anything should ever happen to the statue is uses.

You need to make some alterations for social distance. Whenever the statue of touring its tight interior spaces will likely be done very differently. Still, something powerful being there in person. Davidson points out virtual visit is nice, but it's no substitute for the visitors and in space.

No you present this case 30 years is Wikipedia is the go to website for the latest on Cove 19 so measuring up wired magazine editor-in-chief Nicholas Thompson went searching for answers one of the strangest things about the modern Internet has been the rise just a decade ago when we talked about the site as let's be blunt lies and nonsense. Since then, the site is transformed today, Wikipedia is regularly the first place. Many of us check for information about everything. In fact, Wikipedia's pages on COBIT 19 and the pandemic are viewed more than a million times almost every hour of the day is good when you visit the page Dr. James Heilman may have just seen, but we do know that this disease can be stopped. James Heilman or Dr. James as he is known as one of the hundred editors or so with wiki project medicine which edits and reviews the medical content on Wikipedia is you.

The only proven way to stop COBIT 19 is through social distancing. Social distancing is working.

Yes, good understanding of the unit was to hold entirely still for four weeks. This disease would be eradicated Heilman as an ER doctor at a small hospital in Canada. I do not recommend people Wikipedia blindly doing so would be silly yet. You know people trust other sources of patient blindly.

Wikipedia runs solely on the goodwill of volunteers like Dr. Heilman something your typical denizens of the Internet. Others are academics and retirees like Rosie. Good night.

Stevenson's are really like a learning machine. We collaborate with works of people who work in various areas. She wrote English Wikipedia 6 million article last year we learned that what we did initially, which were write articles that maybe didn't have a reference or enough references that that wasn't the best choice for an encyclopedic article. She said references and transparency are critical Wikipedia success. You can check every and if something is wrong, you can go ahead and fix it. It relies on reliable sources, Catherine Morris, the CEO of the Wikimedia foundation nonprofit that runs Wikipedia. She says that in comparison to the news. We get off social media Wikipedia almost always wins. Turns out there's a lot of challenges with social networks when it comes to information distribution a lot of questions about whether they can be trusted with monitoring for that Morris is having your own private newsfeed can actually divide us with the problem.

Wikipedia doesn't have. This is one front page Wikipedia doesn't matter if you are in Iran or in Italy or in Japan or sitting here in New York City you're all looking at the same information. Still, even though medical pages are strictly monitored by the wiki med project, and hot topics to get a lot of pages are carefully edited and accurate information persists on some of Wikipedia's let's read pages when I started working on the story. I look myself up on Wikipedia and someone had edited my entry to describe me as a Martian who is Nicholas Thompson, according to Martian technology journalist to how do you keep information accurate and Wikipedia Wikipedia feels the answers to recruit more and more diverse editors one way.

In fact, Wikipedia has tried to expand its pool of editors thoughts like this one held in Hong Kong in March with you to become more important because of people using it more and more what difference organization with their own political aims and goals would try influencing companies, governments and politicians try to edit Wikipedia entries for their own benefit. Wikipedia editors are using computer programming to fight back. Now every time someone makes an edit from the White House computer algorithm notes the edits and sends out a tweet about. But it's no secret why someone would want to influence Wikipedia. Knowledge is power and that means that it is fundamentally disruptive often to those in power.

If you think about the history of what Wikipedia is actually pretty radical and I don't mean that in the political sort of left right away I mean that it is an inversion of power structures. This idea that information can and should be available to all. But it's no secret why someone would want to influence Wikipedia, which explains why Louis Wikipedia was founded in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales almost as a kind of experiment has grown to be one of the most visited websites on the planet. It also explains why it's banned in China. In fact, one in three Americans now gets there medical information from the web, which is fine with Dr. how I don't mind you think that having accurate information about COBIT 19 on Wikipedia can save lives. You know right now will is education around how it read.

This disease can be by knowledge.

I genuinely think Peter runs on generosity and care.

Somehow this encyclopedia on the Internet has given an outlet to millions of people to show that on March 30 anonymous Internet user based using a self make two changes to Wikipedia. One was a detail about baseball's opening day and the other was about. I'm no longer a Martian technology journalist. I am an American technology journalist. Thank you anonymous and seen in a while to American astronauts are scheduled to lift off from Kennedy space Center this Wednesday.

Mark Stutzman has a preview nine years ago this July American astronauts last left from American soil, burning 10 the final mission of the space shuttle era carried a special payload, a small American flag. Intending to leave that flag on board international space station. It's been a sentimental fixture floating above the earth ever since. So was a good way to say the next time somebody flies something from United States. This way your weight, but no one knew how John Hurley last shuttle flight did you think Van the person might bring my flight home could be no absolutely not fly again fairly let alone be potentially Doug Hurley but it looks like you'll get that chance. After on Wednesday early Bob Megan make history when they blastoff from Florida's Kennedy space Center climb aboard a space X rocket and launch a new era commercial human spaceflight. Think of the most exciting thing about this mission for both Doug and I is is bringing that capability in an inspiring, hopefully another generation of engineers and scientists to challenge themselves and to try to do great things, like our nation does when the shuttle retired in 2011 space shuttle pulled into port for the last time its voyage, NASA's astronauts had only one way to get the space hitching a ride on a Russian so you partnership is strong, but we don't want dependence NASA administrator Jim Bronstein. Some of this is American pride, prestige, I like to use the word prestige great nations should be able to launch their own astronauts into space. So in 2014, NASA hired Boeing and Elon musk space sex to be there over and lift to the space station for NASA is more cost-effective and allows the agency to focus on the science of exploring deep space space X beat up blowing and being first to fly his design as a back to the future if you and flashy new technology throughout the flying iPhone, it's a pretty big iPhone trades in front of you. Please give it credit space X track record, they've already flown 19 missions bringing cargo to the space station, but this time for the first time usable Rockets capsule Kelly you have any reservations about flying for company that is never actually somewhat into space. I don't think reservations are the right word.

I think what we really concern ourselves with as enough as possible graduates as they watch the land look like the buildup that were going to march through. Look at the details of that and when all those things are done appropriately will be ready to fly on a human perspective means something to you guys is New Age to be the first after you come back and it's successful now.

Bob and I can go hang out someplace and have a barren and maybe then we can reflect just so hyper focused on getting to that point landing the modern space X capsule back on earth will have a more retro approach splashdown like the Apollo moon shots in the 1960s and 70s potential to really be a means for bridging differences in bringing people together. Margaret what it Is a space historian at the Smithsonian National air and space Museum.

She hopes this new era of exploration may help unite polarized country just as Apollo 11.

At the height of Vietnam. There is always something that stirs the heart in a different way when you know that you are watching something through the eyes of a fellow human being.

I think it puts us sitting in their seat. We imagine ourselves looking through their eyes and after months of covert misery and fatigue experiencing that feeling of wonder riding the rock along with bank and Hurley after years of training astronauts arrived at space Center on Wednesday, they were greeted by a mask wearing Jim Bronstein something that in all the years of preparation.

No could have ever predicted.

I think right now in the midst of this pandemic where people are struggling with. Maybe even just simple motivation. Maybe people are concerned about the future when mass is so amazing doing is bringing people together and inspiring them for a future that is brighter than today. I'm Jane Pauley day. Please stay safe and join us when our trumpet sounds again next Sunday morning all my I want to tell you about our new shout to his knees and each episode Nina weekly gas and other quirky find inspiring and informative stories that exist because well maybe you do too. I'm trying to be quire 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 on the
