From the March 9, 2020, edition of Fox Business' Lou Dobbs Tonight

LOU DOBBS (HOST): Your thoughts as we look at this now. The cruise ships, we’re now -- Dr. Fauci has said no cruises, end the cruise thing right now. Now, your thoughts about what people, particularly in the 60 to 80 age group should be worried about?

DR. MEHMET OZ: Well, age is important, but whether you have a chronic illness is even more important. So if you’ve got cardiovascular disease, lung issues, asthma, diabetes – that population should social distance. Which means, don't go in the subway in rush hour if you don't have to. Don’t go to big ball games, I would avoid major trips. But I don’t want the rest of the U.S. population shutting down. I don’t want them panicked about what they may have heard.
