one in four of world fatalities. hospitals are battling in boston, detroit, los angeles, philadelphia, chicago, miami and new orleans, but nothing compares to new york city and its suburbs, which have more known infections than any other nation. new yorkers are fighting at the extremes of life and death. survivors are volunteering to treat the living as the city calls reinforcements to bring dignity to the dead. to the icons of new york, a symbol of the pandemic has been added. more than 180 unmarked trailers, cooled inside below 40 degrees, are holding many of the city's more than 13,000 lost souls. the trailers anticipate the dead outside 58 hospitals including brooklyn hospital center where bob aulicino is chief operating officer.

>> bob aulicino: we had our first trailer delivered, and we were told it would fit 45 bodies. the second trailer was delivered. we were informed that we had to hire a carpenter to build shelving in that trailer, to accommodate three times that amount, which we did. >> pelley: there is an image of a forklift lifting bodies into one of your trailers. >> aulicino: getting the bodies into the trailer was something we had to struggle with, and hence, the use of the forklift. we've since built ramps. we're able to manage that process in a much more respectful manner. it's not a pretty picture. >> pelley: today, 90% of brooklyn hospital center's patients suffer from covid-19. >> aulicino: we're referred to as a safety net hospital. safety net hospitals, by definition, means that 50% of your patient population is on medicaid. we serve a very poor community. >> pelle

every day in his hospital, about 35 virus patients recover, and around a dozen die. >> aulicino: and now we're being asked to segregate the claimed from the unclaimed bodies. >> pelley: bodies claimed by families will eventually go to overwhelmed funeral homes. unclaimed bodies are taken by the city medical examiner. >> aulicino: i think they're preparing for the fact that they may need to prepare for mass burials of unclaimed bodies. >> pelley: burials in common graves are underway on hart island in long island sound. it's new york's potter's field where more than a million have been interred since the 19th century. in the pandemic, about 100 ets ofeople who wereunclaimed oy families that couldn't afford a funeral. >> dr. barbara sampson: it's very difficult, very

challenging. but in the same way we did 9/11, everyone-- it's all hands on deck. >> pelley: dr. barbara sampson leads an 800-person staff as the city's chief medical examiner. >> sampson: we're having to deal with things on a scale that we have never before anticipated although we have planned in the past for pandemics. >> pelley: you planned for pandemics and trained for pandemics, but not one this large? >> sampson: the scale and the rapidity is something that no one could've imagined. not only is there an overwhelming of the health care system, there's a overwhelming of the funeral directors and every essential service in this city and across the country. >> pelley: have you called inin? >> sampson: absolutely. there is no way we could do this on our own, even with such a large agency. so, our main source of reinforcements has been the military. >> pelley: how many bodies are

one-third of your employees to illness? >> aulicino: yes, we have. everybody from doctors down to housekeepers. >> pelley: how many of your staff members have lost their lives? >> aulicino: as of right now, five. >> pelley: will you describe them to me? >> aulicino: i think the one that had the biggest impact on us was one of our patient transporters. we referred to him as "the mayor"-- ed, i'll give you his first name. ed, as a patient transporter, was one who was responsible for bringing bodies from the floors to the morgue when we had patients expire. and when we had to bring ed down to the morgue, the employees lined the route and prayed for him. it was heartbreaking, to say the least. >> pelley: your employees that are returning after being ill now have antibodies. >> aulicino: correct.

>> pelley: they must be incredibly valuable to you. >> aulicino: we're hopeful. we're hopeful that this might be one of the tools that might help us to defeat this virus. >> pelley: brooklyn hospital center is one of many hospitals testing what's called convalescent plasma. plasma is the liquid that carries blood cells and antibodies made by the immune system to attack viruses. a recovered virus patient's plasma can be transfused into a patient who's still suffering. >> dr. david reich: in theory, if you give a large enough dose and early enough in the disease process, the antibodies in the convalescent plasma will neutralize the viral particles in the blood stream of that individual, and that could lead to a more mild course of disease, and it could lead to fewer complications. >> pelley: dr. david reich is president of new york's mount sinai hospital, part of a national convalescent plasma program being led by the renowned mayo clinic in minnesota.

>> pelley: what is the history of this kind of plasma therapy? >> reich: it has been shown to be effective in certain epidemics and less effective in others. for example, there was some evidence that it was a benefit for the sars epidemic-- in the early part of the 2000s. and there may have been some benefit also for the swine flu, also known as h1n1. but it did not seem to be effective in treatment of ebola disease. >> pelley: recovered patient meredith berkman donated plasma after managing her covid-19 symptoms at home. >> merideth berkman: at its worst, i would say, was the tightness in the chest, but manageable. terrible, terrible headache. and justom >> pelley: david berdoff also recovered and donated. >> david berdoff: my symptoms were gastrointestinal. i was vomiting quite a bit. >> pelley: did you have respiratory symptoms? >> berdoff: so, i had a cough. i had a little bit of shortness

of breath. >> pelley: when tests show a patient eliminated the virus, and has a high level of antibodies, they can volunteer to donate. >> berdoff: i figure, "okay, i had this disease that everybody in the world is at risk for. i seem to have kicked it. my blood might be useful for whatever science experiments that they might be doing, whatever treatments they might be experimenting with." >> pelley: the donation is similar to giving blood, but only plasma is taken. >> berkman: so as you're sitting there, you watch the bag filling with what i can only describe as liquid gold. i mean, literally and figuratively. the plasma is liquid gold. >> pelley: the donors do not know who receives their plasma. >> berkman: i felt, if you believe you can help someone else, you would. especially in a situation like this. >> pelley: how are you selecting the patients in your hospital who receive the plasma? >> reich: what we're looking for are people within the first four

days of hospitalization, so it's early enough that we would expect it would be effective. and for people who are showing that they're taking a turn for the worse. >> pelley: it will take weeks to know whether plasma shows promise. so far, nationwide, about 500 sick patients have received plasma, a tiny start with unknown benefits. most of america was blindsided by the pandemic, but shawn lavin's air national guard team has been preparing-- twice a year, working with mannequins in exercises. ironically, the unit had long planned to be in new york in late march for a disaster drill with the medical examiner. >> lavin: we've been training for a decade, since 2009, about how we collect fatalities in this kind of incident. but there's really no way to prepare for what we're currently going through. you can have all the actors you want, or all the dummies laid out on a field, but when you're actually doing it, real world,

with grieving families, it's a much different atmosphere. >> pelley: how's your team holding up? >> lavin: it's stressful, but i think they're rising to the challenge. and it's some of the-- like, strongest people i would ever want to work with, to kind of stop your day-to-day civilian life, put on the uniform, know full well what you're walking into, and then not complaining when you miss easter or passover. just getting the job done to kind of help the city of new york. >> pelley: nearly 200 trailers are now receiving the dead in the city ofnew york. we noticed some are beginning to draw the sympathy of their neighbors. the city has another 90 trailers on standby-- enough, in the estimation of chief medical examiner dr. barbara sampson. >> sampson: i'm a new york native. so to see this happen in-- again, to new york city-- after

what we went through in 9/11, just breaks my heart. but we have our role to play, and we're very proud to play it. >> pelley: how do you bring dignity to so many dead? >> sampson: one by one. you treat every person as an individual. everybody who works here at o.c.m.e. realizes it could be their mom or dad that is the next person who comes in, and you learn that working here, but we are going to do our best to serve every single family and to the best that we are able, until we are not able to do that. but we will go down trying.

depression have so many in this country faced the prospect of being unable to put food on their table. and it's not just families trying to feed themselves. farmers, processing plants, and supermarkets have all experienced disruptions. late friday, president trump directed $19 billion in relief for farmers and ranchers to maintain the integrity of our food supply chain and to aid

local food banks. to understand the challenges of feeding a nation in the midst of a pandemic, we turned to chef josé andres, whose disaster relief organization, world central kitchen, has in the past month helped make and serve more than two million free meals in at least 100 american cities. do we have enough food in the u.s.? >> jose andrés: we have enough food. we need to be thinking about how are we feeding ourselves and don't take it ever for granted. how many meals are we going to be, by the end of the week? >> cooper: josé andres has been thinking about innovative ways to feed people for decades. first as a world-famous chef, and now also as head of world central kitchen, a non-profit he founded ten years ago.thk ahe ha out fooin hm,checked on one s preparing meals for first responders. >> andrés: a few weeks ago, this place would be full.

>> cooper: this is what's left of mercado little spain, a food hall andrés opened in new york just last year. it's one of 27 restaurants andrés owns in the u.s., nearly half of which are now closed. the rest are open for takeout or are being used to help feed the growing number of americans who are struggling. >> andrés: we are using a lot of the ingredients we still have here, and we had a lot of lentils and we had a lot of chorizo. >> cooper: before coronavirus, andrés had 1,600 employees. most have now been furloughed. he's only been able to keep 250 working. these free meals are delivered to military personnel working in a makeshift hospital nearby. after standing in line, six feet apart, they get boxes of fresh- cooked penne bolognese. do you know how many people you feed here every day? >> andrés: out of this one, around 2,000. >> cooper: 2,000 people? >> andrés: yeah. but-- but the number is going to keep increasing. the good thing for us, anderson, is that if all of the sudden we

need to go up to 10,000 or 20,000 people, we are ready. part of emergencies is to adapt and to adapt by the day. when you talk about food and water, people don't want a solution one week from now, one month from now. the solution has to be now. the urgency of now is yesterday. >> cooper: the "urgency of now" andrés speaks of is visible all across the country. food banks are overwhelmed. when this one in san antonio announced an emergency food distribution earlier this month, more than 10,000 people showed up. their cars filled an enormous parking lot. each family was given 200 pounds of food: gallons of milk, chicken, fruit, and dry goods, enough to last two weeks. the nation's largest hunger relief organization, a nonprofit called feeding america, supports a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 local food pantries. but even with hundreds of millions of dollars in donations and federal aid, they are

struggling to meet demand. in a situation like this, people suddenly see how vulnerable we are, or how thin the safety net is for everyone. >> andrés: we have food banks under the feeding america umbrella that, they've been doing an amazing job. but some of the smaller food banks, they've been running out of budget. they don't have more money to buy, or they are overwhelmed because they don't have enough volunteers. >> cooper: andrés' world central kitchen tries to fill what he calls the blindspots. >> andrés: here. >> thank you so much. >> cooper: in washington, d.c., the elderly and homeless who might not be able to get to a food bank. >> andrés: how many, you think? >> about 15, 15. >> andrés: there's 20 here. when this goes away, i come and we hug each other. but now, we need to keep distance. we need to make sure that we keep showing up every day, sending a very clear message:" we are here for you and we are going to take care of you." >> cooper: world central kitchen has been taking care of those infected by coronavirus since february.

they brought fresh meals to cruise ship passengers quarantined on board the "diamond princess" in yokohama, japan, using strict health protocols they'd developed while doing emergency relief operations in mozambique during a cholera outbreak. >> andrés: the temperature is important. >> cooper: josé andres is vigilant about health precautions... >> andrés: you're good. >> cooper: ...constantly monitoring social distancing... >> andrés: guys, keep distance there, yeah? hey, we need more lines on the ground. we need more lines on the ground. >> cooper: ...and disinfecting everything along the way. >> this district right here is the poorest district in the united states. >> cooper: jose andrés' goal is far more ambitious than just handing out free meals. he wants the federal government to pay restaurants across america to hire back employees and feed the hungry. to prove it can work, world central kitchen is already doing it. they're spending millions of dollars, raised through donations, to partner with more than 400 restaurants. it keeps people employed in the restaurant, delivery people,

cooks, and it also serves vulnerable populations. >> andrés: what we've been doing is use the systems that are already in place. you don't have to reinvent the wheel. you only have to change the way you think. >> cooper: world central kitchen has given money to restaurants in los angeles, new orleans, chicago, and dozens of other cities. in washington, d.c., they are paying this michelin star restaurant, maydan, $10 a meal to feed people in need. andrés insists the food be nutritious and tasty. today it's grilled chicken kebobs, carrots, and lentils that will be delivered to 80 senior citizens. >> andrés: we partner with them, we tell them, "listen, we need you to help us feed this police station, this fire station, this hospital, this elderly home. and we need you to be doing so many meals per day during so many weeks. this is the way for us to be responding so quickly in so many cities at once. >> cooper: it's a model we first saw him develop in puerto rico in 2017 after hurricane maria. fema, the federal emergency

management agency, was unable to provide meals for all those in need, so andrés began mobilizing existing kitchens, food distributors, and an army of volunteers to prepare and serve meals around the island. they did it so well, fema awarded world central kitchen two contracts in puerto rico worth $11.5 million. now, in the midst of this pandemic, andrés is lobbying republican and democratic lawmakers to prioritize food as a national security issue and get restaurants back to work by feeding the hungry. >> andrés: i do believe that the federal government has to be playing a bigger role. not throwing money at the problem, but investing into the solutions. government has to protect the restaurants because every dollar goes into a restaurant when you dine out, trickles down across the economy in a way no other business does. we are able to pay the farmers, pay the fishermen, and pay the people that do the delivery.

and we are able to pay obviously our cooks and our waiters and bartenders. >> cooper: it's a bigger industry than the airline industry. >> andrés: restaurants in america are the d.n.a. of a functioning america. we'll not be an america as we know it if those restaurants don't come back to be part of the american way of life. >> cooper: you think that's a model that could actually work? >> craig fugate: yeah, i think it's the model that will have to work. >> cooper: craig fugate was head of fema for eight years under president obama. he likes the idea of government funding restaurants to help the hungry. we spoke with him via remote interview from florida. >> cooper: what would it take t? htard. local governments would issue the contracts to local vendors to produce meals under their authority to feed people in a disaster, and they would send that to the state, and the state would ultimately send it to fema for reimbursement. >> cooper: the sudden closing of restaurants did more tha

workers their jobs. it created widespread disruption throughout the nation's food supply chain. before the pandemic, by one estimate, 24 million cases of food were delivered every day to restaurants, schools and large venues that serve meals. it was usually sent in bulk and to repackage it for sale in grocery stores, takes time and money. with restaurants closed, demand for butter and cheese has dropped significantly-- one reason dairy farmers are dumping as much as 3.5 million gallons of milk every day. and farmers, who can no longer get their products to restaurants and other customers, are discarding millions of pounds of fresh fruit and. this newly-harvested zuci and squashasro flodaield. through august around the country. these next couple months are crucial for the food supply. >> andrés: i don't believe the food supply is going to be an issue if we prepare for it. but if the small farmers don't

have anybody to sell, and all of a sudden they start planting less, because seeds cost money, and all of a sudden a few months from now, that output of food that we took for granted disappears, there is a little issue we face. >> cooper: craig fugate shares jose andrés' concerns. >> fugate: i don't think we run out of food, per se. but i think being able to get fresh produce, get meats of variety, will go away. we may see a lot of grain- and cereal-based products filling in as a primary nutrients in the short-run. but definitely, if we see big disruptions to the production, particularly the consumables of fresh produce, dairies and milk, poultry operation, eggs and the most vulnerable, becauses they'rmo tensiv cper: this past wee atpacking facility in smield f pork plant,do dakot which produces 18 million servings of pork a day, was also closed. more than 600 employees have

tested positive there and at least one worker has died. what do you want to make sure that people in government are thinking about now, with this crisis when it comes to food supply? >> fugate: think big. think worst case scenario. you plan for that. you don't wait for it to happen, or you don't hope it won't happen. >> let me just say to all of you that are working in the food industry at every level across the country-- just understand that you are vital. >> cooper: vice president pence recently tried to reassure food industry workers in farms and factories that efforts were being made to keep their workplaces safe. >> and we need you to continue, as a part of what we call our" critical infrastructure," to show up and do your job. >> cooper: but by the department of agriculture's own statistics, roughly half of hired crop farmworkers are undocumented immigrants-- as are many who work ifood prossing .thns despin essential , ey areable to arresd

deportation. >> fugate: part of the problem is because they're undocumented and the fear of being deported, they may not be reporting in sick or getting treatment or being isolated, and therefore, causing more spread because they're not given the same protection as other workers. >> cooper: they're also, in some cases, working shoulder to shoulder in fields or on meat processing plants? >> fugate: yeah, doing social distancing in a lot of the agriculture operations will be almost impossible. >> cooper: it's sort of ironic that all of the sudden undocumented immigrants are now considered essential in the united states to feed the rest of us. >> fugate: yeah, it finally took a pandemic to make people realize, without foreign-born workers, much of our economy doesn't work. >> cooper: a situation like this, it highlights problems that already exist in society, that people haven't noticed. suddenly you see things. it's like an x-ray machine. >> andrés: in moments like this, inequalities manifest themselves exponentially. >> cooper: josé andres is an immigrant from spain. he became an american citizen in 2013.

he hopes that when this virus is finally under control, we don't forget all those who kept working to feed the rest of us. when this is done, do you think it changes the way we'll see people? >> andrés: if we don't have a big explosion of empathy in this country or around the world, i don't know when we will. from now on, we're going to be giving the respect they deserve to the delivery pizza guys, to the women sitting on the supermarket, feeding entire families in the neighborhood, only by being there and putting her life at risk. all of the sudden, that immigrant that you thought that maybe you didn't like is the one that has been helping feed your community. all of a sudden, we are going to be more respectful to everyday americans, because now those everyday americans, in my eyes, they are the heroes that kept america going, that kept america fed.

his longtime friend denjiro tanaka, the lead musician on stage, performs with ebizo every day. what distinguishes him as a performer, as you see it? >> denjiro ( translated ): i would have to say his aura is something which is very unique. which you can sense almost coming out of him. it's the power of his eyes and of his gaze. >> wertheim: yes, the eyes have it. that stare is called a "mie," and it's ebizo's signature move, like john wayne's walk. the mie is meant to draw the audience in, conveying a character's raw emotion, while the crowd goes wild. ( cheers and applause ) but when we asked him to tell us more, ebizo politely declined. could you teach it to me? >> ebizo: no. difficult. >> wertheim: family secret? >> ebizo ( translated ): yes, basically. >> wertheim: we traced ebizo ichi's famsellhe

way the narantemp, outside tok. this buddhist priest told us the famous stare was inspired by this god, fudo. in the 1600s, ebizo's ancestor, ichikawa danjuro i, an early kabuki talent, came here to pray to fudo for a son. his prayers were answered. a son was born, and with him, a family dynasty, the ichikawa danjuro line. through the centuries, they would canonize a repertoire of 18 classic plays. ♪ ♪ ebizo's grandfather, danjuro the 11th, and father, danjuro the 12th, were bona fide kabuki matinée idols, famous as much for their good looks as their skill. ebizo trained under his father, and performed with him until his death seven years ago. last year, ebizo announced that he would take on the danjuro name. >> ichikawa danjuro hakuen. >> wertheim: the 13th man of the ichikawa lineage to take on that

title. what does that mean to you? >> ebizo ( translated ): well, i think the time has come. >> wertheim: why do you say that? >> ebizo ( translated ): it's my fate, you know. this is the house i was born into, what i have trained for. >> wertheim: is there one quality shared by all the men with the danjuro title? >> ebizo ( translated ): i think really holding the whole future of kabuki on your shoulders. >> wertheim: that's how you feel? >> ebizo ( translated ): yes. it's not just about me. i really need to think about the whole enterprise. >> wertheim: mark oshima, an american living in tokyo, translates kabuki plays into english and has followed these kabuki bluebloods. >> mark oshima: i mean, ebizo looks like a kabuki actor. and he comes from what people think of as a pure kabuki family. so people all say, "he's a thoroughbred." and japanese love thoroughbred. >> wertheim: that said, kabuki has never been an especially profitable enterprise.

given massive overhead-- giant casts on ornate sets. the hope is that ebizo will be a one-man boom to the industry. what's going on in the audience during performances? >> oshima: it's just like a sports crowd. you know, there are times when you have your beers and hot dogs, and times when you cheer... ( cheering ) times when you pay attention to what's going on, and times when you don't. >> wertheim: you'll also hear audiences during these performances yelling out, "narita-ya." >> narita-ya! >> oshima: this is something called a yago, or house name. if i were going to cheer you on, i would say "60 minutes!" now, you may, every-- everyone would know that. ebizo's yago comes from the temple at narita, which has been very, very impntnes ons of-- of-- danjuro. >> wertheim: so there's real connoisseurship here. >> oshima: connoisseurship. >> wertheim: you should feel free to yell out the "60 minutes" yago anytime you want. ( laughs )

for all its idiosyncrasies, kabuki is grueling business. actors perform for hours every day, sometimes twice a day, month after month. >> ebizo ( translated ): every morning, i have to assess my condition. i have to figure out: can my body do this today? can it do that? >> wertheim: you speak like an athlete. do you think of yourself as an athlete? >> ebizo ( translated ): yes, but with no off-season. >> wertheim: not unlike some athletes, ebizo indulged in his share of nights out in his youth, once getting into a nasty bar brawl. an entire country worried the injuries to his face would thwart the trademark stare. his friend tanaka recalls this rebellious phase. >> denjiro ( translated ): yes. when he was young, he was a bit of a bad boy, you could say. he was quite famous in the kabuki world for that. but i think to be a superstar, in a way, you do need to be a bit of a bad boy.in oous peopl,

you wouldn't be able to charm them with your performance. >> wertheim: leaving his bad boy days behind him, ebiro himself last summer in tokyo, taking on 13 roles in a four- hour production. here he is slipping offstage as the dutiful wife... and reappearing seconds later as the warrior. can you name the roles? do you remember? >> ebizo ( translated ): eh... ( laughs ) yeah, i can't remember them all right now. there are too many of them. >> wertheim: and ebizo plays yet another role full time: single dad. it was ten years ago, with fanfare befitting a royal wedding, that ebizo married a popular tokyo newscaster, mao kobayashi. in short order, they had a daughter and a son. but in 2014, mao was diagnosed with breast cancer. when she passed away three years later, all of japan went into

mourning. >> wertheim: what would you like people to know about her? >> ebizo ( translated ): about mao, i just think about my son and daughter, the way they are maturing. without mao, none of that would have been possible. she was a human overflowing with love and i hope people won't forget that. >> wertheim: he told us he tries his best to balance performing with parenting. made a little easier when his son kangen, now seven, announced that he would follow his father into kabuki. kangen is now in the same line of work as you are, and your father and his father. how do you feel about that? >> ebizo ( translated ): at the moment, he's talented. he's very cute. but i'm sure one day he'll face

some struggles in his life, in kabuki. support him without being overprotective. >> wertheim: his son kangen is already adept at tapping into his emotions as an actor. watch how his eyes well up while he rehearses a scene about a boy who's separated from his father. i've seen kangen already does connect with the audience. did you teach him that? >> ebizo ( translated ): no, i think it really comes naturally to him. >> wertheim: also a natural gift, kangen's ability to sneak in a nap during makeup. as for ebizo's eight-year-old daughter, reika, a dancer in training, going into the family business is not as straightforward. women are banned from most kabuki stages-- though perhaps not for much longer, if you ask her father. does any part of you regret that she won't be able to have a career as a kabuki actor? >> ebizo ( translated ): it's not set in stone that she can't

one day become a kabuki actor herself. >> wertheim: you'd like to see more women involved in kabuki? >> ebizo ( translated ): it used to be that everybody was, you know, "kabuki, you know, it's only for men." but i think that's quite an old- fashioned way of looking at it. >> wertheim: if anyone can modernize the art form, it's ebizo. his influence in japan transcends kabuki. his face moves magazines. his multi-million dollar endorsement portfolio includes mcdonald's. and, case in point: he recently adapted "star wars" for kabuki. but the future, as they say, will have to wait. this week, japan expanded a state of emergency in the face of coronavirus to cover the entire country. kabuki theaters, like theaters across the world, went dark last month. as they wait for the lights to come back up, this source of continuity, the man who will baid together kabuki's past and its destiny, also waits, proudly, an artist in full bloom.
