As the World Health Organization certifies COVID-19 as a pandemic, what is America doing- or not doing to get ready? Is Trump delaying testing using internationally available test kits so an American company can corner the U.S. market for corona virus testing? As Washington State struggles to deal with an outbreak, why can't they get the support from Medicare they need to set up isolation units? When we know we could likely lose many of elderly and vulnerable, why can't we get out in front of this? And as the White House classifies all conversations about COVID-19, is the truth what is really being rationed?

For the Book Club, Thom reads from "Health Justice Now: Single Payer and What Comes Next" by Timothy Faust.
