Trump outlines plans for coronavirus vaccine

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

US president Trump has outlined his plans for "Operation Warp Speed", which aims to expedite development of a coronavirus vaccine, as political reporter Erin Delmore explains. Bruce Y. Lee, CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy, recommends remaining realistic in our expectations for a vaccine. Meanwhile, the virus is causing a crisis in America's food chains and we hear personal stories and expert testimony from across the nation. And the head of Intel reflects on how the coronavirus pandemic can help us reshape how we approach business. Plus, we explore whether musicians who have had to cancel tours as a result of coronavirus stand a chance of recouping lost income through music sales and streaming. And we'll have a view on the US markets from Chris Low of FHN Financial in New York. (Picture: Donald Trump giving a speech. Picture Credit: Getty Images)
