Editor’s note: Read the latest on how the coronavirus is rattling the markets and what investors can do to navigate it.

Damien Conover: Today, we're talking about the outlook for the healthcare sector. And the sector has had some nice performance over the trailing 12 months. It's up close to 12% versus the overall market, which is only up about 8%. And a lot of this has come just in this recent rebound in the second quarter, as the investors have felt more confident in the overall market getting through the challenges of the coronavirus.
