Young adults move back in with parents

For the first time since the Great Depression, a majority of young adults are now living with their parents. Nearly 3 million U.S. adults moved back in with their parents or grandparents in March and April. “CBS This Morning” spoke to four of these adults about what it's been like to move back in with their parents. Laura Hopkins left a teaching job in Mexico to move back in with her parents in California. Eric Rivera left New York City after getting laid off to live with his parents in New Jersey. Will Francis moved out of his apartment in Los Angeles and back into his childhood home in Alabama. Chrissy Walker left New York City to work from her parents' home in Texas.

NYC schools suspend in-person learning

New York City public schools have suspended in-person learning because the coronavirus positivity rate surpassed 3% citywide. That's despite the fact that the positivity rate within schools is at just 0.23%, and as restaurants and bars remain open. Dr. Eric Cioe-Pena of Northwell Health joined CBSN to discuss why that 3% rate is arbitrary, and what states in the Midwest -- where rates are even higher -- need to do to stop the spread of the virus.

ER doctor on New York City closing schools

Public schools in New York City have gone back to all-remote learning. The decision comes as a new report from the U.N. Children's Fund warns of a "lost generation" as more than 570 million students across the globe see their classroom learning impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Dr. Dara Kass, a Yahoo News medical contributor and an ER doctor, joined CBSN to discuss what New York City and states across the country should be doing to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

States tighten COVID-19 restrictions

New York City public schools are closed after the city reached a 3% positivity rate in coronavirus infections on Wednesday. As cases continue to surge across the country, many states are also reissuing restrictions and curfews, often in places where businesses remain open. Dr. David Agus joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss whether these measures are effective and what impact they have on children. He also addresses recent promising vaccine progress. The most recent testing shows AstraZeneca's vaccine developed at England's Oxford University works well, is safe, and is highly effective on older patients.
