TODAY'S HEADLINES:

Donald Trump and Justin Trudeau agree to close the US-Canadian border to most travel due to the coronavirus pandemic. Trump claims new powers to nationalize industry, but so far he’s proven unwilling to stop medical shortages.

Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders is deciding what to do with his presidential campaign. Maybe he could assign a few tech-savvy Zoomers to help Joe Biden, who is canceling fundraisers due to technical difficulties.

And lastly, the US economy has been thrown into chaos as a result of the coronavirus, with stocks collapsing and unemployment soaring. Signs from abroad suggest it’s going to get worse very soon, with death tolls growing from Europe to Africa and beyond.
