Description
We look at the unprecedented collaborative efforts to find a treatment for COVID-19, including a Canadian clinical trial hoping blood plasma from the recovered can help those still sick, and a medical student volunteering to test a vaccine.

Personal finance author Lesley-Anne Scorgie and Carleton University assistant professor Jennifer Robson answer your questions about the CERB, retirement savings, interest rates, what students can do, and more. Then, our national affairs panellists Kathleen Petty, Mia Rabson and Jason Markusoff unpack Alberta's latest COVID-19 projections, the pandemic's impact on the oil patch, and the latest from Ottawa.
