Ep 70 | The Politics of a Pandemic | Colonel Jim Hawkins

The pandemic could have been a unifying moment for the country, but
it wasn't. It was politicized. One who saw this firsthand was
retired U.S. Army Colonel Jim Hawkins. He was chosen by the
governor to lead Alabama’s unified command for COVID response as
the interagency coordinator. This meant working with the Alabama
Department of Public Health, the Alabama Emergency Management
Agency, and the Alabama National Guard, just to name a few. Now at
the one-year anniversary, we take a look back at what we did right,
what we did wrong, and whether we are ready for the next pandemic.
