Episode notes

republicans essentially wanted to pay for the new covet 19 spending bill by taking back money that had already been sent out to states in earlier covet bills. The democrats, i think, recognize that we need a much more systematic, comprehensive response. Not only do we to respond to the current crisis, we have to plan for future infectious pathagins. We need to have our bio security beefed up, because it has not been very robust, as covid has shown.

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.
