When my girls came home, they were really unsettled.

So what we decided to do is every day we would sit down and talk about what's happening on the coronavirus,

and importantly, what to expect, what to expect.

And this notion of, I don't know for sure, but this is what I'm looking for,

has helped people enormously because you give them a roadmap.

It's been almost three weeks since President Trump issued his 15 days to slow the spread recommendations,

urging everyone to stay at home and only leave for essential business.

Those recommendations have now been extended through the entire month of April,

which leaves a lot of uncertainty for everyone,

as we grow increasingly more concerned with our health and well-being,

as well as our financial stability. By health and well-being, as well

as our financial stability. By ordering every non-essential business to close, the economy came

to a crashing halt, spring a $2 trillion stimulus package, another $4 trillion of spending from

the Federal Reserve, and the highest rate of unemployment this country has ever seen. While

the health care industry works on defeating this virus, infection and death

rates are constantly changing based on incoming data. Every day, more and more people

go without work and paychecks propelling the debate of how important the stability of the

economy is to public health, not just the importance of public health to the economy. Today, we're

going to look at that argument from both a health care perspective and an economist's perspective. We're going to be talking the models used by governments to

determine whether to shut down the economy, the question of balancing economics and public health,

and when we finally get back to normal.

Kicking it off is Dr. Bob Wachter.
