Summary

The U.S. has formally began its withdrawal from the World Health Organization. While W.H.O.'s response to the coronavirus has been widely criticized, the Trump Administration's decision to cut ties with them has many worried it may jeopardize our country's fight against Covid-19. Dr. Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, discusses what role the W.H.O. plays in a global crisis, what they got wrong this time and what other factors led to the coronavirus devastating impact. While many gyms across the country have reopened - at least in some capacity – fitness centers in a handful of states are still required to be closed. In New York, owners filed a class-action lawsuit after gyms were excluded from the state's coronavirus reopening plan. SC Fitness owner Charlie Cassara is leading the suit and he explains why he thinks businesses like his are being treated unfairly and why they can safely reopen. Plus, commentary by Guy Benson, host of The Guy Benson Show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
