Episode notes

White house wanted 80 billion dollars for covet research, treatment and prevention. They were told that's unrealist, tic congress is not going to pass that. So they paired it down to 22 and a half billion dollars. And congress paired it back even further to 15 billion dollars. That's not enough. Just that simple. It's too little.

The coronavirus pandemic isn’t over, but certain corners of Congress don’t want to spend a penny more on it. Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel argues for $100 billion in new spending to fight Covid-19.

This episode was produced by Will Reid, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
