Description

What do you do if you suspect you might have coronavirus? First thing you should do, is call your doctor, rather than drive down there. You don’t want to spread the virus if you can help it. For today’s update, we’ll talk to Dr. Ray Casciari, pulmonary disease expert and former chief medical officer at St. Joseph Hospital about how the virus can and cannot spread and why cotton gloves could help.

Next, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the third major challenge to the Affordable Care Act and the timing of it all will make it a major campaign issue for the election. The Trump administration supports doing away with the ACA and oral arguments before the court could weeks or even days ahead of Election Day 2020. Caitlin Owens, healthcare reporter at Axios, joins us for more.

Finally, it can be pretty scary when your teen starts driving. The good thing however, is that parents and insurers can both track your kids with new apps that allow parents to monitor acceleration and hard braking, even when you are calling or texting. Insurers sometimes offer discounts for using the monitoring apps. Julie Jargon, family and tech columnist at the Wall Street Journal, joins us for how to track the kids without being in the car.
