We were joined by Patrick Henningsen to talk about the atmosphere in the United Kingdom, as well as the issue of morale as we looked at how Brits are responding to the mandatory lockdowns put in place earlier this week. We also talked more about the global responses to the spread of the novel coronavirus and debated the right level of response when dealing with this unprecedented problem.
We were joined by Taylor Hudak to talk about Assange's health and the state of his custody after a London court ruled to disallow his being released over fears of a COVID-19 infection.

Later we were joined by Dr. Jared Ball to discuss what this crisis can reveal about the ideal foundations for our economy. We also talked about the more than $2 trillion stimulus bill.
We were joined by Maram Susli for our last segment to discuss the implications of the novel coronavirus on global politics, domestic surveillance, and its impacts on our economy, everything from the nature of productive work during lockdown to the type of currency we use.
