Now that Bernie Sanders has dropped out of the presidential race, Joe Biden will be the democratic party nominee to face Donald Trump in November. Biden has yet to announce his vice president pick, although he has said that he will definitely choose a woman.

Today's episode is split into two parts. In this first episode, Kinsey and Jalen look at the latest global updates regarding the coronavirus. Some countries in Asia are starting to experience a second wave of the virus. Meanwhile, the US government rushes to find medical solutions through antibody testing, vaccines, and maybe even anti-malaria drugs as they consider ways of rebooting the economy.

The USA now has the most cases of coronavirus in the world, while China reports no new cases. The US government has agreed to disperse a $2.2tn stimulus package, President Trump wants to open up the country by Easter, and governments around the world are implementing different policies to stop the spread of the virus.

Coronavirus has spread to the west and is shaking the world. Kinsey and Jalen discuss (from their homes) all things coronavirus, from bulk purchasing toilet paper to government responses to impacts on the US elections.

Another round of voting happened in six states yesterday, and Jalen and Kinsey think it indicates the end of Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. It seems highly likely that Biden will be the democratic facing Donald Trump in the fall. In world news, the deadly coronavirus continues to spread and impact societies around the world.
