| 0:00.0 | Hello, friends. Welcome back to the Bill Press Pod and welcome to this week's roundtable. |
| 0:12.3 | It's Friday, May 1, already seven weeks into the coronavirus pandemic, and we seem to be going in two different directions at the same time. Every day, |
| 0:22.5 | the numbers get worse. As of today, this morning, there are 1,095,000 cases of the virus reported |
| 0:30.8 | in the United States. Some 63,700 people have died from the disease, and over 30 million Americans, one out of every |

| 1:31.5 | Let's get right to this week's panel. |
| 1:33.9 | Joining us from BuzzFeed congressional reporter, Addy Baird. |
| 1:37.7 | Hello, Addy. |
| 1:38.4 | Good to see you. |
| 1:39.9 | Hi, Bill. |
| 1:40.9 | Good to hear you. |
| 1:41.8 | We are, of course, round-tabling, if I can coin a verb from home via online technology here. |
