Episode notes

The number congress came up with last week is zero dollars. And it's a lot of the republicans in congress who are vociferously against spending any more on covid 19. If republicans take control of congress in november, is that presumably what the end of covid spending, full stop? A i fear that.

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.
