A historic collaboration between rival tech giants Apple and Google is developing a means by which smartphones will allow us to receive anonymous notifications when we've been exposed to people infected with the coronavirus. Charities are struggling to help record numbers of Americans who are out of work during the pandemic, adding to the millions who already experience food insecurity. The drive-thru, that symbol of American fast-food-style efficiency, is now the means by which many are being tested for the novel coronavirus. A new TV series dramatizes the political conflict pitting proponents of equal rights for women against Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative lawyer who in the 1970s founded the STOP ERA campaign. And the story of a nurses bravery. Those stories on this week's CBS Sunday Morning.

During this pandemic dream of the day we can roam free again. And the key that may lie a new technology that puts health officials on the trail of infected people and their contacts as David Pogue will report in our cover story contact tracing means tracking the spread of the disease from each person to everybody.

They been in contact with what we've been focusing on a lot in the United States is the care and treatment aspect.

No attention has been paid to the contact tracing piece CEOs of Apple and Google release this joint logo. Thanks to historic collaboration between tech giants Apple and Google are phones will soon be able to do the contact tracing for us coming up on Sunday morning how big tech may save a lot of lives, after which were in conversation.

There all political persuasions religious persuasions later on Sunday morning. The battle for equal rights, then and now we've been seeing a lot of people interviewed from their homes on TV these past few weeks which prompts this maraca background report below. Actually, African heritage domes. He has really nailed it with so many of us sheltering in place the places where we shelter become objects of fascination were in my office looks like a chic loan officer taking in the scenery ahead on Sunday morning Ted Koppel asks if being behind bars right now is a death sentence just lessons or surveys America's efforts to feed the hungry. Plus, Tracy Smith on curb service John Blackstone with Randy Newman, Jim Gaffigan, and more on this Sunday morning 19 April 2020 will be right back. Thanks to our cell phones, public health officials could soon be on the trail of anyone who's been in contact with a person infected with the coronavirus.

Our cover story as reported by David Pogue when we talk about biting 19 buyers your lot about social distancing self isolation convex which weirdos you don't hear much about another incredibly important tool in fighting epidemics contact tracing.

It means detective work when somebody tests positive you ask for the names of anyone they been in contact with recently. While contact tracing is really a fundamental part of managing infectious diseases that are contagious. Dr. Louise Ivers is a professor at Harvard Medical School, and the director of the Center for Global health at Massachusetts General Hospital. We tried to find people who been exposed to the illness and given instructions on what to do could be going to get past that could be self isolating at home. We want to make sure that you don't inadvertently expose other people every day.

I want to write down who you spend time with in person and where you been Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo has asked the entire population to keep a journal of the people and places they encounter. When you find out that your positive, you should pull out the door notebook and handed over to the Department of Health so that they'll have accurate, up-to-date information.

There's no nationwide tracking currently being done in Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker has hired a thousand contact freezers to interview people who become infected partners in health, global health organization that ran a massive contact tracing effort in West Africa, the 2015 Ebola outbreak is running the Massachusetts program on top of the curve. But we also shrink the curve like shrink the total number of people that get Dr. Joy Mukherjee is the chief medical officer of partners in health.

She says the traditional contact tracing is more than just asking who you spent time with. It's also making sure you can handle being sick so I have the ability to know I am the prime breadwinner for this family. What am I going to do that we figure out the employment trends does he need food delivered to the house.

That's all very cool but we still have a big problem you can't remember every single person you are near total strangers in the grocery store behind you on the bus for Apple and Google release this joint logo.

They are teaming up to create voluntary coronavirus tracing and tracking software. Well, I think you been watching the news, you know, this next part of my Dave Burke is the vice president of engineering for android at Google almost too many people volunteering everybody what you can't find anyone who does want to help with the pandemic and Bud Tribble is the vice president of software. Apple two tech titans launching a rare collaboration. Tell not only is it for storage of the rivals are working together.

It's also historic figure appearing together on my screen and yours. The idea here that they Google and Apple had. It wasn't new with us was.

Could we use mobile phones to help public health agencies do a better job to amplify their efforts on contact tracing US euro Asia alarm problem. Okay, so what is this big project.

It's a little technical. So let's take the slowly you've heard of Bluetooth right it's a week radio signal that lets your phone send music to wireless headphones or music to your car stereo very soon iPhones and android phones will continuously broadcast of Bluetooth beacon. Basically a big number. The changes every few minutes to any phones within about 15 feet.

Meanwhile, of course your phone is picking up the beacons from all other phones nearby. It remembers these interactions for 14 days.

Now here's the cool part. Suppose that a few days later this guy tests positive for COBIT 19 if he's willing he can report his diagnosis in an app from a public health agency. At that point, everybody he's exposed in the last two weeks gets notified on their phones and advised to seek testing or quarantine and to require nobody has to participate if I don't want to separate it's under user control. They can turn it on or off line online.

No, if somebody opts in. Will their name ever be shared with her location. Ever be sure will the data collected ever be the whole shared with the government's were used for marketing the data points just so were close South Korea and Singapore are doing digital tracing to, but far more invasively they do lengthy infections. Your identity, but MIT Internet policy Prof. Danny Weitzner says that the American approach private and optional will pay off. If we force people into this. The likely try to hide from it, and if everyone wraps their cell phone in aluminum foil to try to prevent the signals from spreading around and we would've failed Google and Apple aren't writing the actual apps. Instead they'll help state public health agencies create the apps which should start arriving next month. One of the most amazing things about this collaboration is that as Apple and Google mean for many many years. We thought of these two companies as smart phone archrivals the world was received potential for smartphones to help people. This historic collaboration between Apple and Google does face a few challenges, maybe not enough people choose to turn it on.

Or maybe you'll get a notification but you're actually fine or vice versa. And if you are notified. What then millions of people still can't get tested or can't afford to self isolate daily work and Bud Tribble are optimistic. This is just one action, and realistic. It's not a panacea is not the silver bullet.

We have to do many different things in order to beat this pandemic and is Harvard's Louise Ivers says we have to try this is the biggest public health emergency of our lifetimes and we need to be ambitious if I inherited this because we cannot all stay on forever feeding America's hungry is no easy task. During this time of disease and searching unemployment is also passenger is watching our food banks rise to the challenge from the streets of Southern California.

The line for food was so long there was a huge traffic jam to the sidewalks of me the financial fallout from the pandemic crisis is triggering a hunger crisis situation. Banks are struggling to find new ways to help record numbers of Americans out of work about the types of people who are coming through the doors here the food back within the past month we have seen absolutely optic of people that are now furloughed or unemployed, so that newer face that were staying at the food bank. Dr. Jessica residing his chief programs officer at Long Island here to New York where they distribute food bag by bag as well as delivery by delivery to seniors and others in need can't leave their homes and march along. We distributed over a million pounds of food and what was the prior month. In terms of pounds of food maybe 600,000, according to feeding America, the nation's largest hunger relief organization before the virus outbreak.

There were already 37 million people nationwide who didn't have enough to eat that's expected to grow by an additional 17 million, an increase of 46% at the Trinity Jubilee center in Lewiston Maine also try to make sure every meal. They hand out includes something hot for seeing folks, we can tell. Never before. And second of all, people were already struggling single parents low-wage jobs. Elderly people disabled people. They used to be able to get food from different places in the community and a lot of those shutdowns before relying on us more.

Aaron Reed is the executive director at the center.

Donations are down as local colleges have closed and supermarkets have less surplus food. We've spent more on the past month and we have six month down the street at the St. Mary's nutrition center. They were busy pre-packing bags of social distancing means that recipients are no longer allowed inside choose what they want. Doing a lot the crisis has touched everyone who works here like Easton move Alana my friends call across the country in Southern California's Orange County, the second harvest Food Bank has started a drive-through service on Saturdays, the first day was unbelievable. We literally got crushed the surge of cars coming to the Honda Center, which is where we have our distribution was something that I've never seen before. The CEO of second harvest. Harold Herman says they overhauled their procedures to ensure they're not spreading the virus you had to reduce the number of people working in their warehouses, we relied on volunteers for 37 years and it was -26,000 of them come through our doors and basis, but overnight had to basically turn up top of resources off and figure out a way to work the food ourselves to be able to harden our defense in place of volunteers they've hired 120 people who have recently lost their jobs like musician industry evaporated concert tours cancel studio dates cancel within the span of just a few days full calendar work. Nothing at all. Along with the paycheck comes a box of food we just have so much less income. We need this basic system, it's invaluable to know the we have these resources that were knocking to be going hungry feeding America says 95% of food banks in the country are seeing higher demand and higher expenses over the next six months. It will take an estimated billion and 1/2 dollars or 30% more money than they been spending to meet that need. This food bank cannot close. There are hundreds of thousands of people right now counting on us and it's not just the food it's that little bit of hope that comes with the boxes well that normality actually is out there looking out for you during the time that a lot of people really uncertain the fight against the coronavirus is taking that ubiquitous American innovation.

The drive through to a whole new level as Tracy Smith now shows us all over the country. Parking lots have become doctors offices and every car waiting in the keyword waiting here in California drivers spend as much as six hours in line to get to the big tent with a crack open the window just enough for a nasal swab or a needle stick and then drive off to wait some more for the results to people queue up hours before we open Dr. Matthew Evan Dante says the process is slow, but there's no better way to drive-through the only answer my punitive it is. Hospitals are overwhelmed urgent cares overwhelmed doctors offices are overwhelmed trying to develop home kits but it's is not fast enough to drive-through fast food style set up is just the way we probably go seems now to drive-through that symbol of American excess. Maybe even laziness is finally getting a little respect these days when you have to wear a mask just to go out in public I drive-through testing facility seems to make a lot of sense. And that's especially true in this country where you could drive through to get just about anything. Americans wanted. All they wanted. Now they don't want to get out of their cars to get a few years back. Our dear friend Bill Giese found drive-through weddings, drive-through funerals, and more so much more. There is one.

A lot of people can't even believe bourbon and water in a martini straight up for the list.

It seems that there's no business that can't be done out of the drive up window martini straight out. Thanks very much seeing drive-through confessions churches drive-through adoption centers everyone is adopting this model. Adam Chandler is the author of drive-through dreams. It doesn't exist as a culture drive-through the best way is here that drive-through is uniquely American. Yes yes it exists in other places, but not with the same special flavor and that flavor sells, according to a recent study, fast food restaurants taken about 70% of their income through that little window and now the pandemic has made it the only game in town. Drive-through was or how hospital workers and truckers and families are fed right now and so it's actually not support. Whether you're selling burgers for booze or Band-Aids working at drive-through is a tough business. Especially when the cars stopped coming. Dr. Abbott, Dante like this is been really hard for me. My families moved out and I have four kids that they moved to my bylaws and I get to see him tomorrow. I mean you are on the front lines. They felt like you had to isolate yourself essentially I felt like that was best that my wife also choose very worried about the disease. My family motivates me and when I think about the world being locked up and away from my family. It's isolating.

It's filled loan but for now, the best way forward, stay isolated and just drive through. In some cases a matter of life and death is always yes prevent one case to prevent from that person and free from that person is exponential, and so I do feel like were able to make a huge difference and save lives behind bars during the coronavirus emergency social distancing is all but impossible. So what does that mean both for those inside a jail or prison. And for those of us outside the walls. Here's our senior contributor Ted Koppel the notion that shoeshine is best served by taking people who break the law of locking them up for a long time but motion is always a powerful constituency in this country that's wanted on a per capita basis, the United States has more people behind bars. 2.3 million any other country in the world and a lot of the sentences are insanely low problems sentenced to 1002 years. In 19 life terms for our goal for parole to come back first. So starting point.

There's no such thing as a good time to be an inmate in the US prison system or for that matter, to be awaiting trial in the county jail, but also believe that the worst Rikers Island in New York City's East River currently holds more than 4000 prisoners. It is toxic breeding ground for covert 90 throughout all of the cities, prisons and jails. The number of inmates and staff testing positive is no talked lungs so keep in mind Rikers for the largest of the mall is jail motor produce what I know from being incarcerated. Is that people in American prisons and jails have very little prospect of avoiding inspection, Piper Kerman spent more than a year behind bars metamorphose into the sooners orange is the new black. Our experiences are essential to understanding the reform that's needed for your suppression of recruit rule which jail typically holds people who've been arrested and charged with a crime but are presumed innocent, but the majority of people are eligible for bail and can return to the community, but they are too poor to pay their bail so nobody should sit in jail just because they're poor, especially when there is a pandemic going on. We all get to desperation calls coming out prisons around the country through confinement, social distancing, mostly in the side of a sale. You have to basically figure out how are you going to just because a few feet down from you is another person or long awards is out of prison. No couple of years. Burkett was my guide to prison life at San Quentin San Francisco hell of a lot by one person at a time like this is turned sideways using their is about the size of an average person's bathroom. So that's what that's what that confinement is known, there's also happy to describe himself these days is X or Lon and I were together floor that we live.we shared with 100 people and that floor was 3 feet wide so it is physically impossible to do 6 foot distancing in a 3 foot wide tear so what happens when inmates get sick bars culture prisons, at least in my experience has been punitive, meaning that when someone gets sick they get punished by being sent to solitary confinement. That was the case at San Quentin when loanwords frozen inmates are hosted upon coast called your hustle. You did an episode on the solider is the whole box the dungeon some future unless been the next 23rd in this sale because I was I would prepare climate the rules and regulations that apply in their whether you're there.

For this reason there for a quantity purposes. Those rules in relation apply to you no matter what you're there for one controversial option.

The early release of elderly and those convicted of nonviolent have to be imprisoned is not been sent to prison.

Anybody who's nonviolent are ready to be released is out in Florida last week 164 inmates were released to stop the spread of coronavirus. The troubling exception will only solidified existing resistance to early release after this announcement deputy say Joseph Williams killed a man in Tampa. I am issuing an executive order to stop the release of dangerous felons from prisons and jails in Texas and in ordinary times have the luxury of ignoring what happens behind prison walls boat shows Piper Kerman not now prisons and jails do not have ICU care unit, any of the medical abilities to deal with very sick people. So every single day on a good day thousand prisoners are brought out of prison to the hospital. Overall, remember the number of inmates and staff testing positive. New York City's prisons and jails is now over some one might reasonably assume that the majority of that number are inmates. There are no of those testing positive for covert, 19 Department of Corrections outnumber inmates almost exactly 221 it's impossible their own families and their duties. I'm not going to experience red coronavirus outside prisons and jails because an outbreak bars going to read and footnote the Florida Department of corrections. Most of it is lowering the minimum wage to be a corrections officer and just last week announced $1000 bonuses for new recruits take out with Rachel Garrett this week. Stephen law allies Mitch McConnell and one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to set races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed what Nevada not Georgia. Georgia is right up there with 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 major Garrett on Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. This is forcing many of us to confront the pain of sudden and unimaginable personal loss here with reflections Jason Rosenthal, author of the new book.

My wife said you may want to marry me. I was married to an amazing woman for 26 years. Amy Krause wrote she was a prolific author and memoirist. She also wrote a modern love column for the New York Times went crazy with all you may want to marry my husband was a creative play on a personal for me. 10 days later he died of ovarian cancer there.

I was devastated with grief and undeniably alone. Imagine many of you are feeling that way in the face of this global anything can trigger the feeling while back when I went to my doctor's office for an annual checkup. I was asked if the information contained in my medical file will still accurate.

Things like emergency contact and marital status was such a routine exercise, but overwhelmed with the sheer sadness of everything hiding the surface and the reality of it. I was alone now, but Amy wanted me to feel that blank space now part of my life. She wanted me to find joyful moments, seek meaning in this complex life we live in them.

Someone else took me years to come to that realization. I learned that Greece has no timetable through this current crisis. You may suffer extreme hardship as a result of many losses in your life from your normal routines to the pain of having someone close to you gravely ill or gone forever. Then you might feel okay for a while and slid back into anxiety. That's okay that's normal after my loss. Many people reached out to me with their own stories. I came to an epiphany of sorts of I'm reminded of today loss is loss is loss unique to each one of us shared story for us all. We shine brightest when we need each other. I'm managing now because so many stepped up to guide me as you are isolated. Feeling a sense of tremendous loss and grief know that those are normal feelings as we manage this crisis. We can be alone together. Pay no attention to that expert speaking on camera during a TV interview from home. Morocco has what can only be described as a background report was that on the wall what your musical instrument, I'm getting a background check from writer and fashion commentator Simon Dugan and designer Jonathan Adler that is the trumpet that my father took up late in life and was one of the loves of his life is my most prized possession.

With so many of us sheltering in place the places where we shelter have become objects of fascination. This will living in now constantly on you face time zoom calls everyone into an obsessive director with the view of public figures in their private spaces.

Here's the ordinarily flamboyant Lady Gaga were in my office.

She's very conservative looking dog running the HR department like it daily show host Trevor Noah is actually African heritage domes. He is really nailed it and on the right side we see that he won some sort of award, which gives him an award-winning presence journalist Cynthia McFadden is very well composed in a way that creates serenity and looks very chic and appealing, and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I would hope that about what your political view. I appreciate the chest that says I'm a strategic thinker, which is important. Some stars don't need any background at all virtual only of real international global icon can do this kind of level of simplicity.

Well, this is our Jim Again right away. Chandeliers should little unexpected burst of glamour. Jim got BC accounts they have interesting information not Amanda Hess is a critic at large for the New York Times, she says, focusing on the scenery can be a welcome distraction. There's something soothing about meditating on the pattern of Reese Witherspoon's chair but of course public figures are used to being public, but what about everybody else what were divulging by letting people see us in our home environments. I wonder forget to regret this chat with my colleagues looking interested judgment to this mutual experience mutual but not always equal students suddenly having to take classes online and seeing each other's home environments are learning about their own class differences divide probably connections between people that may never of course to Europe of revealing ourselves via video chat is just voting membership predates the COBIT 19 crisis member Prof. Robert Kelly you may know him better as we see that the analysis now were all BBC after all were living in an era when Tom Hanks hosted Saturday Night Live from his kitchen told me that they think that a lot of big Hollywood stars are using their kitchens because there's a little bit of a democratizing effect at work.

Do you think there's anything to that. Yeah great point like you don't look around and see Jim Gaffigan level of chandelier or you know it humanizes Tom Hanks, Jim Gaskins, the one who really misplayed it by showing that he basically listened her side.

I hear another commentary right now. Like the rest of us sheltering at home right now our Jim Gaffigan has almost lost track of time, not to mention his sanity, five weeks, five weeks in quarantine with my wife and five children in our New York City apartment and I'm not crazy crazy crazy crazy, but I'm getting every morning I wake up feels like that scene in the movie Groundhog Day. Unlike Bill Murray is not ground for me is January 1 New Year's Eve party I wasn't invited every morning is out to greet my coffee maker. I see the Romans some phantom party can some strategically placed to invite my wrong mean you children are doing it on purpose to talk to me.

Why would you think they'll be okay. They destroyed break. They destroy crime. We tried to see if we tell them how to sit how to eat your know once the last time you guys come in here for they still look like this is I should go planning their next I'm not crazy you're crazy. Hang in there. Everyone television series Mrs. America tells the story of the years long battle over the proposed equal rights amendment this morning, members of its cast are in conversation with Aaron Moriarty ERA will rights amendment has been waged for nearly a century and in January before 19 brought the country to a halt. Many saw signs the battle finally coming to an end. Virginia is on the brink of becoming the 38 states to pass the equal rights that the country has been here before.

Right, Mrs. America, unlimited TV series takes a look back at the 1970 ERA, their strength and back into history is to understand where we are today. Plan to produces is one of the stars of Mrs. America. We spoke with her and other members of the cast earlier this year.

It was literally like Groundhog Day same-sex bathrooms and women in the military. The draw often and all of these things are all coming up now even the equal rights amendment itself was passed by Congress in 1970 two quarters of the states had to ratify it to make it law seemed all but certain with feminists like Gloria Steinem daddy for Dan and Shirley Chisholm behind it until they ran into another woman. Just as opposed village slab is basically a very negative attitude toward life threat to the traditional American family plan to play Schlafly in a series series really does break apart this notion that all women think the same. Schlafly was a conservative Illinois lawyer who founded the stop ERA campaign that she felt that the virtuous woman was was the cornerstone of society. So we start leaving the family and the whole fabric of America is going to collapse the complicated thing. Rose Byrne plays Gloria Steinem, one of the most recognizable leaders in the Pro ERA movement right. Both Steinem and Schlafly grew up in the Midwest and Burton says they had more in common than Schlafly would admit she would travel all over the country leaving her family with help, leaving the children fighting for the things that really I would like to thank my husband, Fred and Amy come today.

I love to say that because it takes the women's levers more than anything that I the politician, and she knew what she could get done. Margo Martindale said Schlafly was rude.

She referred to herself as eminent rather than feminist and played the game as well as her opponents. I found that fascinating about her smart as a whip, but every one of these women responds with go about it in the right way. Martindale plays Congresswoman Bell Labs 20 to protect interest. She was loud she was outspoken. She was an activist from the moment she came out of her mama's womb Tracy Allman best-selling feminists out there that he for Dan. She had a fantastic education and she felt stifled by being a mother with three small children, no opportunity to be in the workplace. The Democrats could refrain from trashing the president, Elizabeth Banks is a lesser-known but powerful Republican feminist Joe Rocco's house was bipartisan back that will rights and human rights should be bipartisan. Of course that the goal of my life waiting on somebody's mission to do about play Shirley Chisholm, Congresswoman, and first African-American woman to run for president in African-American hero African-American female here out the black caucus believes that you drop out of the race is a crew everybody has been hoping for me to drop out of since I started seven months ago. The battle lines were drawn between those who welcomed the ERA is an opportunity, and others who sought is a threat. Sarah Paulson plays a composite character called Alice who was a follower of Schlafly's and a member of stop ERA.

She couldn't look around and see anyone any woman that sort of confirm that she had value based on what she wanted, which was not to be in the working environment. But to be working in her home and taking care of her children get the Constitution equally applied series includes some of the memorable skirmishes Harvard Law school by women until fairly comfortable TV appearance with Betty for Dan. 31). Says Steinem herself seemed determined to avoid the spectacles any more time than she was already having an athlete in her stop ERA did exactly that in the early 80s after activist failed to get enough states to ratify the amendment. The movement stalled and disappeared from headlines until recently when women's marches and need to breathe new life into it. America wants this over 90% of everyone says women should have constitutional equality. Carol Jenkins is cofounder and CEO of the ERA coalition. It's just a matter of time before women and girls have equality in the playbook that we all live by in this country, our Constitution, but in fact issue is as dense as ever.

Opponents argue that the January vote in Virginia to ratify the ERA came too late.

Well, after a deadline set by Congress and so the fight continues now in the courts do about hopes that a series like Mrs. America provides that Americans find a way for over I think we have opportunity now wrapped in progress towards hopefully a resolution of some kind of bringing together of some kind.

We all could use timeout this weekend.

Here's ours from Steve Hartman. We begin today with an alarming new milestone is spreading quickly.

Most of us are relieved to be watching the worst of the safety of deadly record 47-year-old Bevan Strickland of High Point, North Carolina, was one of those comfortably on the couch so switch flipped and you hear Bevan a nurse just contracted a serious case of empathy so exhausted, so stressed out if I can just go to be shipped for that. That was a month today Bevan is working at Mount Sinai Queen. The epicenter of the outbreak in New York City she cares for the sickest patients under the most demanding conditions solely because she believes she was made for a moment like this time you make.

It was at that point that I realized this was no ordinary that I learned that although she's not technically a volunteer she has to get paid for legal reasons. Bevan plans to donate everything she makes.

After expenses to the Mount Sinai support staff infective. She could really use the money for student loans and she's a single mom with twin 16-year-old boys back home to Smith. She asked if she could do this or did she tell you she was doing she is multiple times even after saying you sure you why did you say yes the slightest not to disturb yourself serve others. These apples didn't fall far. I believe it helped.

There's a switch goes off and some people drink starts. Whether it's the football coaches steps in to stop the school shooter player joins the Army. After 9/11, or the nurse who simply stands up from her couch. There will always be those who run toward disaster when everyone else is fleeing certainly wouldn't be painters often take moments in history, and capture them on canvas.

In our current crisis is no exception.

The paint is barely dry on one work hourly calendar is about to show us in my head is the idea with the feeling that I wanted to have motion, you yeah I think that's what makes art art as been holding one brushstroke at a time to see this work on the cover of the New York children celebrated work also hangs out what he does best is perhaps most will strain the human spirit celebrate I think is a crucial moment and I need to have a voice and image that will give people hope I call the painting after the storm. After the storm after the storm. All these people.

All these figures in the painting. They have their common goal will have their eyes trained on the light was still a work in progress Los Angeles studio this month healthy social distance course. But even in its earliest stages message was pretty clear. I think one of the things that we're probably missing a lot of people are missing now is human touch because we have to stay so far away from one another. So I wanted to make sure to emphasize that that is part of being human being. Yes, human touch little handholding big clasping you the painting will tell me what it needs, what it wants really speaks to. Yes, I was like as a conversation Nelson started having that conversation with crayons with adjustable one drawing in particular was the Incredible Hulk beating up the fantastic four and Spider-Man and I thought about this is this is narrative pain at and realize that's what it was but I've always really found joy in telling stories with my work and those stories have gotten noticed. Just this year's illustrations for the book undefeated garnered him with the Corona Scott King book award also become a 2020 Caldecott medal. This was the year that I was the biggest prize in children's literature. It's the Oscar. It is this it is but the threat of coded cancel Caldecott ceremony. Disappointing is the bit disappointing. I expected it years painting his passion for heroes from Negro league baseball to help celebrate their centennial this year, but coded struck that out to, but I totally understand think we it takes a backseat to all of what we are experiencing assist. That's just where we are at the moment so he spent this uncomfortable moment painting the better moment to calm.

He finished after the storm this past week was the first time anyone's ever seen. Most of what he'll get from its sale and the prints the fall intends to give you covered 19 really fit small donation. We are all human beings we are all part of the human family.
