Summary

Latest Corona Virus Updates. It appears that we are 11 days behind Italy in our experience of the Covid-19 virus. What we need to know.

Thom Hartmann listens to Truckers who are navigating the dangerous responses to the Corona virus state by state exposing the need for a national response but will Washington be able to come up with one while Trump is at the wheel?

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is proposing $500 million in federal funding allowing all Americans to vote by mail in the case of an emergency like the Corona virus. The state of Oregon became the first state to vote entirely by mail.

For the Book Club, Thom reads from "The Truth about Social Security: The Founders' Words Refute Revisionist" by Nancy J. Altman and "The Embattled Vote in America: From the Founding to the Present" by Allan Lichtman.
