Jamie Yuccas on covering the Winter Olympics from inside Beijing's anti-COVID "bubble" - "The Takeout"

This week, CBS News correspondent Jamie Yuccas joins chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett from Beijing to talk about what it's been like to cover the 2022 Winter Olympics, with extremely rigid COVID-19 protocols in place, and what it has been like navigating the strict COVID-19 protocols in place and reporting under the watchful eye of Chinese officials. 

HighlightsChinese officials and the media in Beijing: "Nobody's come to me and said, 'You need to present it this way or you can't say this.' I think we were all pretty well versed, and talked about the things that we would talk about and not talk about as a group. We have burner phones with us, burner computers with us. I did not bring my personal cell phone with me at all because I was told of the security concerns here. I have family and friends who have traveled to China in the past who said, 'Just don't bring it. It's not worth it.' 

The one thing that has happened and look, I don't know what's true, but Jack and I, my producer, one day we're talking about the fact that we really needed more bottled water in our room. We were just talking in the hotel to ourselves. And all of a sudden, the next day when cleaning came, we both had 12 bottles of water in our room. So I have to believe that there are people listening."
