Summary
Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the leading voices on the coronavirus pandemic, favors public health measures over a national lockdown. He sits down with CBS News Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook. In his first American television interview since nearly losing his life after being poisoned, Alexey Navalny tells Lesley Stahl he is sure Vladimir Putin is responsible and that President Trump needs to come out against those types of attacks. Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the March COVID-19 outbreak on a cruise ship and the passengers’ flight back to the U.S. that had the ingredients for a super-spreader event -- one the CDC knew about and did not stop. Those stories on this week's "60 Minutes."
