More than three months after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as states and localities take steps to reopen, cases are instead on the rise, jumping this week in 33 states. Elex Michaelson breaks down the spike in cases, what it means for our reopening efforts, our schools, our politics, and more, as he’s joined on The Issue Is by Dr. Deborah Birx, coordinator of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, California’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond, Carla Marinucci of Politico, and Democratic strategist Brian Goldsmith.
