Coronavirus Outbreak at the White House; Will Admin Cover Up or Contract Trace?

As President Trump and a growing number of prominent Republicans are infected with COVID-19, Democracy Now! speaks with Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, who says Trump was reckless in his approach to the coronavirus and continues to flout public health recommendations.

“There is an outbreak happening at the White House. It will continue to spread. It will not go away on its own,” says Dr. Jha. “The way you stop it is to test, trace and isolate.”
