Lockdowns, self-isolation, travel restrictions - millions of Americans and people in countries around the world adjust to the new normal of life under coronavirus. Doctors and first responders are facing a catastrophic supply shortage - and are desperate for help.

Plus, with markets crashing and layoffs spiking, Americans brace for the staggering economic impact - and Congress tries to agree on a bipartisan relief plan.

And the president declares himself a "wartime president" - but bristles at talk that he was slow to act to address the coronavirus threat, or is at odds with the facts.

Today's panel: Maggie Haberman of the New York Times, Toluse Olorunnipa of the Washington Post, Jackie Kucinich of the Daily Beast, and CNN's Jeff Zeleny.

Plus Dr. Ashish Jha and Dr. Megan Ranney on the medical response, and Moody's Mark Zandi and The New York Times' Jeanna Smialek on the economic fallout.
