The standup is daily opportunity for the team together to coordinate itself and the its work. It is not a status update where the workers have to report to the boss. That is not what you should be doing.
> what if people are working on something for a bit longer than one day and got no news to tell or talk about?
They can just say that they are busy on it. But now the team can coordinate.
Maybe that feature is taking too long, and you should instead spend time on something more important.
Maybe Jerry says "hey, I'm finishing up on issue XYZ. Now I can go help you with that long task."
Maybe you are working on that long task, but hear that another team member has a problem which you know a lot about.
Maybe someone in the team is thinking of starting a new issue which is related to your long task, in which case some coordination may be needed.
Maybe someone thinks your long task is shouldn't be taking that long and they can afterwards help you out. It is easy to get stuff in a bog and not know it.
Scrum is meant to be a team sport where members are helping and supporting each other.
