Show Notes
U.S. and global financial markets plummet because of deepening Coronavirus fears. Europe is now in a virtual lockdown, and a dramatic Sunday rate cut by the federal reserve is not enough to calm investors.
Plus, governors and mayors scramble to close schools, restaurants and more -- forcing social distancing to slow the spread. The annual White House Easter Egg Roll is added to the growing cancellation list.
Meanwhile, President Trump asserts that the U.S. has "tremendous control" over the virus, but areas hardest hit worry about hospital capacity as the surgeon general warns America is at a crossroads.
Today's panel: Molly Ball with Time Magazine, Toluse Olorunnipa with the Washington Post, and CNN's Phil Mattingly.
Also on the show: CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Alison Kosik, Vanessa Yurkevich, and Fred Pleitgen; Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner an infectious disease expert, and Mike Graham and Kathy Call of Jukebox Junction Restaurant & Soda Shoppe.
