Last month, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel explained what the U.S., Europe and the rest of the world needed to do to win the war against coronavirus.

On May 20, Dr. Emanuel will offer a virtual check-up on the crisis: how have different countries' prescriptions worked so far? Are there any signs of recovery in the United States and Europe? When will it be safe to reopen?

He'll discuss these and other questions with Michael Horowitz, Interim Director of Perry World House, and Karen Donfried, President of the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
