CDC Director: “I’m scared”

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky shared a feeling of “impending doom” with Covid-19 cases spiking throughout the country and said “I’m scared.” President Biden called on state and local officials to “please” reinstate the mask mandates. Dr. Leana Wen is an emergency room physician and the former Baltimore health commissioner. She tells AC360 we’re making so much good progress and “that’s why this is so frustrating because we are so close.” Plus, opening statements began in the criminal trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who’s charged with the murder of George Floyd. Chauvin’s defense argued he "did exactly what he had been trained to do" as a police officer. Mark O’Mara is a criminal defense attorney and successfully represented George Zimmerman, who was found not guilty for the murder of Trayvon Martin. O’Mara joins AC360 to discuss where he thinks the defense will go in this trial.   Airdate: March 29, 2021   Guests: Dr. Leana Wen Mark O’Mara To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
