This week, new cases of coronavirus have been detected in South Korea, Italy, Iran, the US and 45 other countries; with the threat of a global economic slowdown, the Dow Jones tumbled some 3,600 points, the largest weekly drop ever; and as politicians look to pass the blame, the world is being gripped by fears of a global pandemic.

To put the virus in context, provide advice on staying healthy, and give his policy prescription to world leaders, Dr. Mehmet Oz joins Elex Michaelson for an important conversation.

From coronavirus, we turn to next week's primaries.

On March 3, voters in 15 states and territories will head to the polls, awarding nearly one-third of the delegates in the Democratic Presidential Primary.

The largest share of those delegates, 415, will hail from California.

Our jam-packed episode comes to a close with an all-star, Super Tuesday-themed panel featuring journalist Jessica Yellin and legendary political consultant Bob Shrum.
