Officials call for federal coronavirus order
Some state and local officials across the U.S. are asking President Trump to impose a national stay-at-home order. Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker said his state has "exhausted every avenue available" and labeled the lack of a national order as a "profound failure" of the federal government. The governors of Georgia and Texas have come under fire for their late actions, with medical experts using them as further examples that a federal mandate is necessary. Ed O'Keefe looks at the disparity around the country as governors of different states handle the crisis in varying ways.
Ship passengers sent home without quarantine
After two cruise ships with confirmed coronavirus cases docked in Florida on Thursday, hundreds of passengers who have not been showing symptoms are being flown home without being quarantined first. The Zaandam, one of the ships, had been denied entry to several countries. Nine people aboard the ship tested positive, and four have died from the disease. Florida locals say this was the best possible outcome, while Manuel Bojorquez reports that others are worried that this could lead to asymptomatic carriers further spreading the virus.
FDA authorizes first coronavirus blood test
The FDA has authorized the first blood test for the coronavirus, which could identify people who have been exposed to the virus but do not show any symptoms. Dr. David Agus joins "CBS This Morning" to talk about the benefits of the new test and how it would help slow the coronavirus' spread.
States forced into medical supply bidding war
Over a million people worldwide have been infected with the coronavirus and a quarter of them are in the U.S. Medical resources in states like New York and Louisiana are stretched to capacity, and many find themselves running critically low on ventilators. An admiral leading FEMA's supply chain task force confirmed that supplies are not going directly to the states, but rather to a distributor where then governors are forced to bid against each other for the life-saving equipment. David Begnaud speaks to officials and medical professionals in Louisiana and New York to get an idea of how these federal policies are affecting their workflow.
