Published 6 years, 2 months ago
Description
In an interview with Scott Pelley, Fed Chair Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve plans to weather the unprecedented economic crisis -- amid the coronavirus pandemic. A top government virologist tells Norah O'Donnell he was removed from his crucial role leading a unit fighting the pandemic because he spoke out against the administration's advocacy of a drug unproven to help Covid-19 patients. And Jon Wertheim looks at some of the possible changes spurred by the coronavirus pandemic' s profound effect on society. Those stories on this week's "60 Minutes."
