Episode 162: Getting to the Post-Virus Future
New data shows that the Coronavirus is devastating Black and other marginalized communities disproportionately compared to their white counterparts. Several Sunday shows had segments or interviews that highlighted this new trend. The quality of those discussions were largely dependent on the guests that were invited to speak on the topic. Highlights include the Governor of New Mexico Michelle Lujan Grisham on State of the Union, the Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan on This Week, and the Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot on Face the Nation.
Additionally, the shows had many conversations about what it would take to open restart the economy and to reopen the country. And while the physical and economic safety concerns run rampant, one component remains steadfastly important: achieving extensive and widespread testing capabilities.
