2. Dr. ALEX GARZA, SSM Health Chief Community Health Officer -- and co-leader of the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task Force.  It's been four years since the World Health Organization officially declared COVID-19 a pandemic.  How is the COVID of 2024 changed from the COVID of 2019?  Are we better prepared now to handle the next pandemic?  What lessons have we learned? How bad is COVID-19 right now
3. Dr. LINDA RICHARDSON, director of the CDC's Division of Cancer Prevention and Control.  March is National Colorectal Cancer Screening Month.  What are the current trends regarding colon cancer?  Why are more younger people getting it?  How important is screening to early detection?

4. Dr. ELISA PORT, chief of Breast Surgery at Mt. Sinai Health System in New York.  Actress Olivia Munn revealed this past week that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and underwent four surgeries in the last 10 months, including a double mastectomy.  She was diagnosed with an aggressive form in both breasts, despite testing negative for all cancer genes in a genetic test and having just had a normal mammogram.  She only found her cancer because her OBGYN calculated her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score at 37-percent and ordered more testing.  What is that test?  Also --  Dr. MARC SIEGEL, FOX News Chief Medical Correspondent, on the measles outbreak in Chicago -- where most of the cases were diagnosed at a migrant shelter.  Dr. Siegel says it's all about herd immunity.
