Summary

Democratic Senator for Connecticut Chris Murphy tells Christiane Amanpour that the people protesting the stay-at-home-orders only represent the minority of Americas and their protests are perfect for TV. He says most Americans don't want to open the economy too early and disregarding expert advice could be catastrophic. Former UK Health Minister Anna Soubry argues that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson's complacency in the critical early period of the coronavirus is reflective of his character. For example, the former Conservative MP highlights his failure to lead early COBRA meetings. With over 1.5 billion kids out of school worldwide, teaching practices have had to dramatically adapt. John B. King, former U.S. Secretary of Education and CEO of The Education Trust, talks to our Hari Sreenivasan about the pitfalls of remote learning during the current pandemic and lockdown in the United States. Dr. Sharon Moalem author of "The Better Half," unpacks why coronavirus affects men more than women.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
