0:00.0	Out front next, Trump under fire for his handling of the coronavirus epidemic blames Obama.
0:05.9	And now an aide to a Republican senator says Trump's claim is false.
0:09.6	This is the death toll in the United States rises.
0:12.2	Plus the CDC is investigating yet another cruise ship with coronavirus.
0:16.5	We will hear tonight from an American who was quarantined for 28 days, how her vacation on a cruise ship
