Summary

On this episode of the Sup Daily Coronacast, Sami is joined by writer and Daily Beast editor at large Molly Jong-Fast to talk about the handing of the pandemic in New York and across the country. They start with a reaction to Trump’s mind boggling inquiry into the injection of light and disinfectant to stop coronavirus. Did he really just imply that bleach is the answer to curing COVID-19? Next, they discuss Trump’s latest immigration bans, his misguided travel bans through the years, and whether or not he has a strategy at all. They talk about some encouraging new data out of a New York antibody test, and explain why we should be cautiously optimistic. Finally, they close the show with a conversation about why Molly would rather quarantine in NYC, Mayor De Blasio’s poor leadership, and what it would even look like to open back up businesses in the city.
