This week's episode of The Global Cable features Professor Erik Jones, Director of European and Eurasian Studies at Johns Hopkins University. He is based at the university's Europe campus in Bologna, Italy, and is therefore on the ground in one of the places hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. He talks to us about what daily life has been like in Italy during the crisis, what the U.S. and other nations should learn from the Italian experience, and what the economic ramifications of COVID-19 will be across Europe and around the world.
