First, we all prefer to do without. For better or for worse members of every family and every couple are feeling the strain and learning new things about each other. Our cover story is reported by Tracy Smith, Samantha Lee and Jason Jonas are both known for their comedy. Turns out there especially good improvising their weekly program on TBS usually takes the New York City when coronavirus shut it down. Try to brand-new episode of full frontal this week. They headed up state taking their three kids in their show with them should really be teaching the math and now after 19 years of marriage together like never before and you guys are old pros that kind being in each other's business you work together for a long time now.

Is it different now that you are locked down. She choose to that Jason getting aside for Samantha Jason and the other 60 million or so married couples in America the past weeks have been a real eye opener.

The vows might say till death do us part.

They don't say anything about being together all day every day. You know this is a time when people are losing their lives, their people risking their lives going to work every day is a little indulgent press to be talking about romance, not at all.

There is no hierarchy of pain.

Pain is pain and suffering is suffering. So for some people there suffering, loss of life, other people are losing out on things like they're knocking to go to their child's graduation wheel loss and so I think it's important that this is the Greek Olympics.

You know, we don't need to measure it on some kind of scale loses higher on this hierarchy, psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb is the author of maybe you should talk to someone right now a lot of married folks are talking to her. What kind of things are you hearing from couples as we talk so much about isolation and I'm hearing a lot from couples about not having enough space yes you are like this in the back hall.

There are no holes out here, but a thousand miles away, me Memphis Tennessee strata gift of Dante and Alyssa and some of the same issues and with three kids and another due in August.

Privacy is nearly impossible not to the bismuth actuary bathtub yes and sometimes the toilet locked the door and the quiet and is the only door they lack the narrow and having a door that locks might be important for other reasons is so important. What were experiencing right now is skin hunger. It's a real phenomenon in hunger. Hunger is a phenomenon where our nervous systems get activated when we don't have physical touch and because were not getting out in the world with the normal sort of hugs and handshakes in the ways we would normally get that is really important when getting up from the people that were social distancing with their own households. There's actually something called skin hunger that we all as humans need touch and so this expert like this is my love language in mind, not how he made the poor children out of course, not every marriage is quite as strong as the patent, the most recent government figures say the divorce rate actually dropped in the past 10 years, but now there is speculation that the quarantine could make those divorce numbers jump.

Have you heard the phrase Corona divorce yes yeah course, I mean you know were getting a lot of calls from people at their wit's end with their spouses or live ends and you know try to kind of talk them off the ledge. Laura Wasser is a family law attorney in Los Angeles who knows her way around the divorce court. Among her past clients, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and Maria Shriver Tom Petty's waiting his wife words I got with more to the stars of marriage story Laura Dern and Scarlett Johansson both hired Laura Wasser for their real-life breakups. There have been situations where I have seen how people behave. I think they're knocking that there's no amount of counseling that they will make this through. Is there one particular attitude or something that you could pinpoint yeah but I would have to use profanity, leaving a real so if you just have to get away and can't afford her $950 an hour fee. She has a website called it's over easy, that'll take you through the divorce process for around 1500 bucks but Wasser also told us that even when the quarantine is lifted. She's not expecting a big stampede for divorce court without sounding to Pollyanna so bad. I really do think that if people are able to communicate and use tools and get in a more intimate with each other.

Both intellectually and physically. During this time, they might come out of the quarantine stronger. You say that as a divorce lawyer. I do. I've been doing this for a long time and I DIC human nature and human relationships, and I do think that if people can make it through a situation like this, like they say if it doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Same goes for relationship and she may be onto something. I'm trying to think of were the corny are there gifts of this lockdown is that I'm enjoying. I feel very close to you working with you.

Sorry it is very exciting join you. I apologize for being real psychotherapist, Lori Gottlieb, are you hopeful about relationships and how everybody's going to end up with were finally allowed outside again. I feel like people are now looking at what is really important to me and who matters to me.

What can I do to nurture those relationships were treasuring it a little were not taking each other for granted anymore scientists the world over are rolling up their sleeves to develop a covert, 19 vaccine as well as treatments for those who already have the disease. Allison Aubrey of NPR looks at one promising therapy that's both new and old.

I was trying to fight for my kids.

But in my mind it was getting ready to as Lana Townsley lay in the ICU battling cuvée 19 University Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin. The two-time cancer survivor felt like giving up fighting debris and stuff started, it was just slowly strangling you really thought this was the end with Townsley's consent for doctors administered an experimental treatment transfusion of plasma donated by someone who had just recently recovered from coronavirus I you saved my life. So within a few days he went from being intubated on a ventilator to reading on your own and and and feeling better, yes, were you surprised I was very apprised. I was thrilled and hoping more than 6000 covert patients have now received convalescent plasma. It's not clear yet how much it may help, but is a technique that goes way back. There is a lot of science here and Dr. Arturo Casa DeVol of Johns Hopkins University, stepped up to resurrect it for hundred and 20 years before his Nobel Prize.

That's when doctors realized that virus fighting antibodies borrowed from recovered patients may help prevent or cure disease. I was an enormous body experience with you.

But much of this was lost to history. So on February 27, penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, he wrote about a doctor at a boys boarding school in Pennsylvania back in 1934, who treated a boy with a serious case of measles doctor was waiting to be cared recovered what they gave small amounts at your and then they waited the epidemic was his article was published just as the first coronavirus deaths in the US and at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. Dr. Nicole Bouvier would soon be on the front line treating lots of covert patients so incredibly frustrating it's hard for the frontline doctors, the nurses, diesel people were used to fixing things, but at the time there was not a single approved treatment so behind-the-scenes. Dr. Casa DeVol scrambled to build a coalition of doctors. The first was Michael Joyner of Mayo Clinic. Then William Hartman of the University of Wisconsin James Muster of Houston Methodist Hospital Nicole Bouvier of Mount Sinai and Andres Klein of Tufts University. There was a crisis of people getting their prices.

Dr. Joyner led the charge he worked with the FDA to expand access to plasma and get more hospitals on board we just got it. Pushing pushing pushing within weeks, patients were being treated with convalescent plasma. Dr. Klein says what could have taken months or years And quickly unprecedented, and is really inspiring. It's unbelievable. I've never seen anything like this. I've never been part of anything like this.

Dr. Musser's team at Houston Methodist was among the first to treat covert patients with plasma. I view this is very much like an old-fashioned barn race.

You will aggregate. These doctors say convalescent plasma may be just a stopgap measure until more treatments and a vaccine come along part of a copy of this page way for four or vaccine. This is really the first biological shot on goal in the first biological shot of gold and this feels good to Dr. Hartman who treated patient Lana Townsley when you think you'll tell your children and grandchildren about this extraordinary moment of telling the story of a huge movement all across the country that in six weeks time. 2000 hospitals come together. The unifying purpose of trying to make people better in the end it's the community that's saving the community. Meanwhile, Lana Townsley says she will donate her blood. As soon as she is completely recovered. If I can save just one person from going through what I went through I do it in a minute if you could meet the person who donated their plasma was transfused into your body will thank you so much.

Another chance like by tradition, Mother's Day is the special day when children treat mom to wake up meal to honor that tradition brunch is served by our friend, chef Bobby Flay back in a May morning in New York City when I was 12 my friends and I have tickets to see. Yes, it was so long ago kids could still do that sort of thing on their own.

I strolled into my mother's bedroom. She was sipping her first of many cups of coffee. I wish her a happy Mother's Day. I told her I was the party to see the Bronx bombers do their thing doing what she asked as the first tears streamed down her cheek. I knew that I was going to have to explain to my friends but I wasn't making a game I was staying home to make my mama very sketchy breakfast. The best Dorothy Flay known as Dame Dorothy to her closest friends over the life that was unbounded though she spent most of her adult years as a single mother, I'll just say this wasn't the easiest kid to raise culminating with dropping out of high school after ninth grade still fountain focus and got a job my mother whether being my greatest cheerleader I knew from my experience as a 12 rule that Mother's Day had to be planned. No matter what. First of all, it had to be a classic eggs Benedict and the most almost could not be more simple minutes. Champagne or any sparkling wine that you have and marshes to classic eggs Benedict, just a handful of ingredients. It's a toasted English muffin with a thin slice of Canadian bacon on top of it post eggs on top of the Canadian bacon, then finished off with a classic holiday sauce that here's the secret ingredient to making sure that your a post eggs coagulate or come together to some vinegar just a couple dashes that is Susan ready to go. I just gently drop the egg into the water. Make poaching eggs that wall that took care of the meal. Somehow this run top Mother's Day planning wasn't done.

There was also a dress code. I had to wear a suit or at the very least a sports jacket and then there was the mandatory Carnation tradition that signified. If your mother was living a pink one or away, which meant she had passed. My mother died almost exactly 2 years ago and living through his pandemic has me thinking about her even more. In some ways, I'm relieved that she didn't have to navigate away from the danger of I'm pretty sure I would been pulling Dame Dorothy out of her favorite Jersey shore, hang out shortly martini with her favorite part. So today is Mother's Day, not even a global crisis is to keep me from celebrating to me the greatest mother in the world. She wouldn't allow it. So let's get it on 43 years ago the Yankees had a play game with one less person stands today coronavirus sit this one out brunch to serve all of its glory and does not stop us. Happy Mother's Day challenges abound for stay-at-home students trying to learn online and for all too many of them there are no clear answers. Aaron Moriarty of 48 hours offers a crash course 17-year-old Joshua Lynn thought he had his life all mapped out a junior in a Baltimore public high school. He was on the road to a top college and a career as a lawyer are you will be like you have Aaron had all that planned out and then in March without much warning all public schools in Maryland will be closed on the closing of all exclusions. The closing all public schools across the state 98.8% of our schools have closed down. No one you know or continue that learning Lynn and students throughout the country, including those in college were suddenly forced to go home and learn remotely either through online classes, paper packets or lessons on TV. It's hard to understand, Doug Harris, a professor at Tulane University in New Orleans is studying the impact of the coronavirus on schools 75 students who are not in school is never happened last century, the pandemic has only broaden the inequities that already exist between students with so many now at home without computers or Internet service.

Educators fear that as many as 1/4 of them are not engaged in school at all and how well is it going for those who are structured and how hard we try. Jessica Rutherford is a teacher and reading specialist in Vero Beach Florida who works mainly with third through fifth graders who struggled with reading in a school where most students live below the poverty line you at 30 about how many would you say are doing pretty well and and how many are not. I would say it's about 50%, only half and that may be because too many students. She is now just a voice over the phone with them cooking or helping when they get in so you know it is heartbreaking because you just have to stop and wonder.

Okay, no makeup. This her work days feel longer because they are there meetings with parents and with other teachers, all while she's home taking care of her own two children, including a five-year-old son trying to learn remotely as well. There are days where you because this is just pure crazy expectation. All teachers in the exact same boat as you are. I don't have a doubt my mind that the teacher out there that is giving it everything that got you just still feel like you fall short falling short while children fall behind. That's what also worries Kimberly Dukes a parent who lives in Atlanta, Georgia. Primary is an early you are the most critical Dukes children range in age from three years old to a senior in high school, but she worries the most about a middle child, Peggy work.

What I noticed was like the work was for light each individual.

So my baby if you write is read on the first grade level. This work and actually broken down because actually see how much it was hurting the equities are much more bigger than ever before, yet the greatest pressures they way on the students themselves. Like Joshua Lynn in Baltimore near you. You can properly and the environment that catastrophically change in a matter of D as he is always done. Lynn juggles his job at a fast food restaurant while taking seven rigorous classes all now online, which means less help from teachers.

I don't think that I'm doing my best buddy, he often works late into the night and early morning when uncertainty looms large got me thinking you know what we buy.

There are no clear answers because even educators don't know schools will return to normal in the fall environment running shifts of students morning shift and afternoon shift. And even then Doug Harris says it will take time for some students to recover what they lost as it did in New Orleans in 2005 after Hurricane Katrina for schools to close was about two years. Different students are experienced students who are in the best situations are those who were doing right now you have a computer in a quiet room don't have obligations taking care of her siblings (Sir or at work or but remote learning has made one thing very clear. As noted by Hollywood writers Shonda Rimes and a viral tweet few people will ever take teachers for granted again. I there's nothing quite like the connections we have at school. Joshua Lynn can't wait to get back. I actually have, you know, to strive more to become a person become an even more time for Sunday morning field trip to the zoo.

Connor Knighton is our guide. Walking around the deserted San Diego zoo and Safari Park felt like 101 of the people go from the giraffes to the gorillas was repaying a bit of extra tension. After all, they hadn't seen human tourists since mid-March. This is a typically high season for us with lots of guests coming through. Really it's incredible to see without all bearable is the CEO of San Diego zoo global nonprofit that manages San Diego's 1800 acre Safari Park 100 acres. The most visited zoo in the entire country. Both locations close to the public on March 16.

You can open for more than a century. Has there ever been a closure of this magnitude before. There's never been a closure of this magnitude before.

The most the Senators was ever been close. As a single day, that's only happened five days in the organization's history in the midst of historic covert related closures happening across the country choose a special set of challenges to bookstore down and the books inside are fine but zoo closes what happens to all of the animals.

Nothing is being skipped. Nothing is being change their day is going to be the same free Barney is a wildlife care specialist in charge of San Diego's kangaroos while he was furlough ticket takers and concession stand workers employees involved with animal care been deemed essential Barney's work continues as usual small modifications. She now wears a mask when hanging out with the marsupials you little bit differently sometimes get the kangaroos of all the middle recognizer with once news broke that lions and tigers at the Bronx who had caught over 19 from a staff member. Procedures changed at zoos across the country now your time mask, but that food is expensive and with everything from his teeth to the store currently closed. Zoos are hemorrhaging money. The minute the front gate close. Unfortunately, we stop making money and our expenses really didn't change the animal still have to be careful.

Thompson is the chief super logical officer at the Memphis with a much smaller budget smaller financial safety March through June. We make percent of our revenue so recovery from this honestly is going to be very difficult with the expensive ongoing animal care.

Thompson is predicting a $10 loss for the yet still manage to sign up even at a time when members can't visit.

This is projects ballpark on the Memphis zoo has been churning out hours of educational content to keep fans engaged and also some less educational content in their popular Olympics videos that capitalized on the current lack of sports programming and awarding medals and everything from the poorest 100 m sprint blazing star was extremely quick time trial to the public and fish catch fish zoos have had to get creative with their programming.

The Florida aquarium has launched a series of C-SPAN videos without behind-the-scenes look at operations didn't pursue invited fans to vote on the name of their new baby rhino for a small donation.

Of course, Judah ultimately one out wife at the zoo continues. We continue to have births back in San Diego. Spring births are in full swing. Newborn penguin chicks are learning to swim in the bear cub is taking its first steps for the animals.

This is a year just like any other since normal visitation still looks to be a long way off San Diego's congressional representatives have written a letter to Speaker Pelosi asking to direct $1 billion of funding to the Institute of Museum and Library services that would help keep zoos across the country afloat in the meantime, empty parking lots serving a new purpose for Pittsburgh to Knoxville to the Bronx. Zoos have become COBIT 19 testing locations for humans this is intelligence matters with former acting Dir. of the CIA. Michael Morel bridge Colby is cofounder and principal of the Marathon initiative project focused on developing strategies to prepare the United States for an era of sustained great power competition states put them on to something we can usually figure it out what people are saying and what we can know analytically and empirically as our strategic situational motors or George's not being matched up follow. Intelligence matters were ever you get your podcasts possible to single out the world's greatest mom a question for our Steve Hartman this word greatest Bob scheduled for some reason, but it still an impressive title, which is why the engraving company the most was quite 10,000 of these trophies every year. That means at least 10,000 kids know the world's greatest mom my kids new to it's always been obvious to me when I invited them into my office and was rolling through record their choice. They were stopped. You know finding her would be suggested by start by reaching out to her kindness 101 students and on the road. Educators to see if we could find any kids who think they know the world's greatest mom were looking for the world's best along the world's best mom.

We talked, the more the beach one day was a very good very loving very high, but she would never ask you for that sweet my crew was impressed, but still hard-pressed to winter for the kids see anything that your mom didn't have.

I actually know. So how do we reconcile this is true. That's why so many of those trophies.

Everybody has the world's best non-it was a white homework moment in my almost 10 years. I feel like I think that this mom is I can see Ricardo dear mom, I think you're the world's greatest love because she loves everything about. That's what makes one of the money greatest Reese Witherspoon is an actress and producer to many TV viewers are turning during this time of quarantine Rita Braveheart has our Sunday profile you been watching little fires everywhere you think you are just waltz into my house to escape the COBIT 19 quarantine tone is the trace even though my God three day show found one you have Reese Witherspoon to thank.

Just because she costars in both programs. Witherspoon is also producer guiding spirit behind these many other production.

Do you know what Mexican is 14 years old. But even though she playing June – 2005 film walk the line. The main by 2010 Witherspoon was not getting the kinds of roles she wanted that when your husband tell and agent Jim Toth made a suggestion you read more than a bad why don't you try in terms of anything I thought the first book that I read before I came out I thought it amazing that he was Cheryl Straits memoir wild psychologist Cheryl and I said ever be open to me, starring Emily.your life but also be the producer and she said no course not. She said sure, okay really new at the time that I was a newbie producer. I think she didn't care that she is getting opportunity really grateful, mild Witherspoon, 2015 Academy award nomination. She also coproduced a hit film based on the bestseller gone girl went so did Hollywood start taking you seriously say okay. She really is a producer and now it was actually that little lie third successful production started getting people going out. I think she's on something nice series. We just stick with our story perjury. One is one of Emmy awards will be fine. And today, Reese Witherspoon is considered a major Hollywood influencer production company hello sunshine, bounded on one premise, where an entertainment media company that puts women at the center of every story.

Sarah hardened his hello sunshine CEO Neustadt, or is head of film and television. So what's the secret sauce.

How you doing passionate about every story we tell you read it and it ignites something inside of us and reading is still at the heart of everything. Reese Witherspoon does time to reveal Reese's her hugely popular book club has catapulted many authors to the bestseller list to get a kickback from the publishers.

Always authors are my rock stars growing up being able to do like sometimes I write or say like you changed my life financially or that putting them in a position where they get seen when they deserve it so much is worth everything we first spoke with Witherspoon and her colleagues just before things shut down. Now, of course, their offices are empty and all production has halted in Hollywood.

Heres so we checked in with the team, but I assume that culture is different and it's going to be different going forward. And so I do think this conversation across the company around. How do we serve a new moment when we come out of this crisis that may include a whole new way of making programs. As you can. TV show social distancing can you figure that out, lusting all of your mom's right and you're all still trying to work full time and have your kids around a lot going.

I think text my husband and I need 1/2 an hour not anywhere near this room. I have a three-year-old incredible problems which made us think of something we asked Reese Witherspoon in their earlier interview you ever have those days, like the rest of us have don't do as much as you do this when we think the floor and cry my car and cry seriously.

Sometimes I'm totally overwhelmed and around so what changed things I really want younger women in our industry and I want them to have a better experience. I want to see that they have a beautiful idea of what the future could hold girl I'm going to Harvard and has for her own success. It turns out that Reese Witherspoon is a lot like woods in legally blind you long heart smart and beautiful woman who is sometimes underestimated never by herself. I will put in the hours and I battle myself. I know my own lottery ticket and I always think back now if no one else shows up. I know I will show up and I know I will do the work. Families are whiling away. These long weeks at home I binge watching Jim Gaffigan and his family are coping by being binge watched. Well this is my weekly commentary during this time of 2800 years, watch a couple of these people really got pale. Years. I do appreciate the opportunity to check something. Science five children from cleaning all watchman was clean.

Another creative outlet engaged in during the show's been having family streamed on YouTube every night welcome to one of the Gaffigan were having dinner and you're invited. Silly show separate from people that wanted to point it is the report I'm sure some people just want to see children prepare slowly and quickly return the show fund raise funds for food and secure go to dollars. Thank you so much. It's not much but it's something that we've done 5959 more than just about anything for most television shows like CSI whatever city maybe like 26 episodes with 59.

The last time our nation's economy nearly ground will hold the newly elected president with the initials. FDR tried just about everything to get it moving again you lead with bold actions and inspiring words this morning we look back to those times with two reports we began with John Dickerson long lines for food for relief fear and despair, though black-and-white the pictures from the Great Depression echo America in the COBIT era national suffering and frustration.

The viruses knew the struggle is not in 1933 newly elected Franklin Delano Roosevelt confronted 25% unemployment, the collapse of banking and sweeping poverty. His response would reshape the way the country thought about itself, its president and democracy United States was the fetal position and people really wondered whether we would ever get out of this Jonathan Alter is author of the defining moment. FDR's hundred days and the triumph of hope.

We spoke inside the Manhattan home where Roosevelt slept the night he learned that he had won the presidency, Roosevelt believed in what he called action and action now. He used that word in his inaugural address six times actually got more applause than the only thing we have to fear is fear itself while Roosevelt was ready for action. He had to make sure the country was to at a time when the tenets of democracy itself were being questioned. He recasts the social contract convincing the American public. They were all in it together.

What is the new deal it's it's a deal between the government and the people what they expect of one another and before Roosevelt was president. It was basically every man for himself.

Rugged individualism is the only real contact the American people had with the federal government went to the post office to bars changed by offering information and hope, says professor and historian David Woolner at the Roosevelt family estate in Hyde Park, New York people gather on the radio submit would listen to their present explain what the government was trying very very reassuring. The famous fireside chats were few in number, but were symbolic of a connection between the patrician Roosevelt and those suffering with poverty, something the president understood because he had suffered says Susan done a Roosevelt scholar at Williams College would say the symbol of his presidency in his life is Warm Springs, Georgia, Roosevelt was stricken with polio in 1921 he never walked again during his recovery. He built a facility in Warm Springs, Georgia for other polio sufferers and took charge of its operation to relate to all kinds of people leaving a life of kindness, of respect, responsibility for the people we know, as well as the people we don't know that's what real democracy requires the moral basis of democracy with the country support for his spirit of experimentation, Roosevelt unleashed a flock of programs they went to work building the infrastructure of this country in ways that are almost imaginable. They built 39,000 schools, 2500 hospitals more than 300 airports, 800 state parks.

The Hoover dam the Lincoln Tunnel. The Tennessee Valley Authority among the many major projects created with the Congress willing to work with the president that didn't mean Roosevelt was without enemies. I think there's an assumption that everything worked but he had very very strong opposition was plenty of partisanship.

Plenty of Republicans and some Democrats who thought that he was becoming a dictator. Soon enough, Roosevelt would be fighting real dictators in the second world war, which ultimately lifted the country out of the depression.

America became a beacon for the world and its leader, Roosevelt offered a new way to measure the worth of a nation's customer progress is not what we provide much much too little.

That is the test posed by FDR for America's leaders today, not just to survive but to plot a course for a way to emerge from this crisis stronger. FDR's fireside chats forever change the way our presidents communicate.

In fact, is Ted Koppel now tells us they set an example for every president to come imagine the world go. You almost tens of millions killed in the first world war two more died in the global influenza after the war in French, the American Pres. Woodrow Wilson mustered his wartime umbrellas behind the so-called league of Nations, but he couldn't show the claimant here at home. Wilson crisscross the country by way of delivering one screech after another the effort almost killed Scott barnstorming going around the country talking to the people who look for Harvard to campaign was considered undignified well through the 19th century. So even just going around the country was a novelty effort. Wilson was going door to door, but none of the tools for the campaigns of future presidents Warren Harding recognized radios potential for children.

Coolidge: sign Winco from Herbert Hoover know either that was left for Franklin Roosevelt's famous fireside chats bank holiday. While resulting in medicated convenience is applauding preop supply of the current situation is explained banking system and see to his voice quality compassion your problem my friend your problem though is my we cannot fail. Remember to work with style, want to do that. He strokes so the delivery was much more relaxed time with somewhat medium but it wasn't like other kinds of that philosophy to try to enlist their support by what would appear to be in casual conversation as opposed to delivering you know the state of the Union address 952 publican bikers conventionally took pride in his hand to campaign, Eisenhower answers America there come, but he went into the studio and cue cards answers to Americans questions and then days later that the agency picked up people who were waiting in line for tickets at radio city music Hall brought the man and had them reach thank you cards. The questions and then questions the answers are cut together to prices of double taxes break our backs. I know it's time to time change proved book effect would become a hold televised press conference will corrode Richard Nixon's likely abilities with listening television viewers watch and picture you was the first president to bolster the media about abuse but not a lack of respect for you with years of experience in Polish perform. I will not make age an issue of this campaign.

I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.
