Here's Why Trump's Policies Have Hurt Pandemic Prep
About this episode
The episode discusses how Trump's policies have impacted the US's readiness for pandemics in light of recent disease outbreaks.
Recent outbreaks of Ebola and Hantavirus are reminders that when such rare diseases flare up, they have the potential, in our interconnected world, to spread beyond their points of origin. Bloomberg's Health Reporter Jessica Nix joins Caroline Hepker to explain why while neither of these deadly menaces is thought likely to provoke a global epidemic they’ve stoked anxiety about the ability to respond to such a threat.
