Summary
The mortality rate from the coronavirus pandemic is overwhelming New York City's health care system and funeral homes. Scott Pelley reports on how the city's Chief Medical Examiner is working with the National Guard to bring dignity to the dead even in crisis -- and how coronavirus survivors are hoping to help. Renowned chef José Andrés says "the solution has to be now" when it comes to addressing food shortages caused by the pandemic. Anderson Cooper reports on how Andrés' organization has served nearly 2 million free meals in more than 50 American cities. Plus, Jon Wertheim gives us an inside look at the pageantry Kabuki, Japan’s centuries-old theater art marked by elaborate make-up and stylized dances. Those stories on this week's "60 Minutes."
