Summary

On this episode of the Daily Coronacast, our hosts start with a conversation about Trump disbanding his coronavirus task force just as the death total surpasses 70,000 people. Next, they talk about why federal and state governments are eager to move on from coronavirus as mounting evidence shows this disease is killing primarily people of color. They discuss the ways in which this disproportionate impact on people of color is often swept under the rug, and how institutional racism accounts for much of the disparity. Finally, they close things out by highlighting how the United States failed to implement tragic lessons from past pandemics. Thanks to our sponsors! RoboKiller: Stop spam calls 2020.
