Episode 159: Virus Spreads, Congress Stalls

The coronavirus continues to impact schools, workplaces, and communities across the US and the world. FEMA is now coordinating the federal material response. Administrator Peter Gaynor went on multiple shows — but didn’t have much to say, which hosts like Martha Raddatz and Jake Tapper very much noticed.  There was also significant conversation about the stimulus package that is waiting to be revived and voted on.ChaptersIntroductionHighlight/LowlightThe Public Health CrisisThe Economic CrisisWhy It Matters: A Testing ApproachShow RankingsClosing Shows discussed Face the Nation on CBSState of the Union on CNNFox News Sunday on FOXThis Week on ABCMeet the Press on NBCResources we discussThe article referenced in Why It Matters: https://twitter.com/alecmacgillis/status/1240279081293352964?s=21 The article referenced by Naomi on the topic of Seattle: The New York TimesWeb resultsIn Seattle, It Started With Panic.
