Summary

In 2005, then-Sen. Bill Frist had a message for Americans: a pandemic was coming, likely out of Asia, and due to increasing global travel, it would likely affect the United States. Now Frist, a doctor himself, is looking at how and when America can safely reopen. One example of a locale doing it right, in his view? Nashville, Tennessee. Frist, a member of the National Coronavirus Recovery Commission, joins the podcast to talk about his 2005 prediction, what Nashville is doing, and more. We also cover these stories: President Trump tweets "why should the people and taxpayers of America be bailing out poorly run states ... ?" House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that the next coronavirus relief bill will include a provision for vote by mail. Attorney General William Barr announces a new effort to ensure Americans' "civil liberties" aren't attacked during the pandemic.
