Chuck Todd, host of "Meet the Press Daily" on MSNBC, spoke with Boston Public Radio on Thursday about how long he thinks people will obey social distancing guidelines during the coronavirus pandemic.

"I do believe the government has until April 30 for us to follow the rules, but I worry that come April 30, we've got to start some parts of society back," he said. "That might mean half capacity movie theaters, half capacity baseball stadiums, my point being, I just think it's needed in order to keep society from losing it."
