'We need a cure or a vaccine, and in the last 24 hours we've gotten some serious go-aheads when it comes to potential treatments,' 'Mad Money' host Jim Cramer said.
"American science is at last in play, science that may allow us to not only contain this virus but actually one day beat the darned thing," Cramer said. "The market says that maybe, just maybe, there could be some hope. Unfortunately, tomorrow's another day," he added.
But to build on the scientific hope, Cramer said the U.S. needs to take stronger actions to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases. He argued for a nationwide lockdown and said additional testing capacity and increased availability of personal protective equipment are essential in combating the virus in the near-term.
Additionally, Cramer said the U.S. needs more pledges from large corporations to temporarily not layoff workers while also seeing more rounds of government stimulus geared toward helping workers. "In most of Europe, governments are just paying 100% of peoples' wages for the duration," Cramer said. "If we want to avoid a depression while we wait for the scientists to come up with something, that's the kind of thing we need to see. Think big."
