Summary

On Monday President Trump announced a set of guidelines for Americans to follow in order to help stop the spread of the coronavirus: avoid social gatherings, work from home and eliminate unnecessary trips. He also urged seniors or those with underlying conditions to stay home. Dr. Devi Nampiaparampil, Director of Metropolis Pain Medicine discusses the possibility of a nationwide lockdown, and what we know so far about people who have recovered from the coronavirus. As life in America seemingly grinds to a halt, members of Congress are still expected to do their jobs and legislate. How will 'social distancing' impact Washington and lawmakers' ability to pass a coronavirus aid bill? Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D- MI) joins the Rundown to discuss how Congress is functioning during America's self-isolation. Plus, commentary by "FOX and Friends" co-anchor and "The Brian Kilmeade Show" host, Brian Kilmeade. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
