Episode 173: Corona and Federalism Don't Mix

The Coronavirus returns as the dominate story on the Sunday talk shows. Virus containment strategies, like extensive contact tracing, are being successfully implemented in other countries, but are no where near operational in the US. This meanwhile cases of the virus are spiking in several states in the south and southwest, including Florida, Texas, Arizona, and California. Today on Polilogue we explore how the Sunday morning political shows handled conversations with key leaders of the virus taskforce: Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Vice President Mike Pence. We also examine the asks, expectations, and pleas of other political and public health leaders.
