Maria and Julio are joined by power couple husband and wife: ITT All-Star, Wajahat Ali, contributing Op-Ed writer with The New York Times and CNN commentator, and Dr. Sarah Kureshi, physician at Georgetown Family Medicine.

ITT Staff Picks:
- Julio’s latest for The Washington Post about President Trump’s mishandling of the crisis and his inclination to blame immigrants.
- How the Coronavirus Became an American Catastrophe, via The Atlantic.
- As communities go into lockdown during the pandemic, the people most at risk for getting sick – because they must leave home to do their jobs – are largely people of color via The Washington Post.
