The Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal on U.S. COVID-19 Case Surge

The United States has reported more positive coronavirus cases in
the past week than at any other time since the pandemic
began.  In their new article " A Devastating New Stage of the
Pandemic”, Atlantic staff writers Alexis Madrigal and Robinson
Meyer report on what’s happening with the “second surge” that is
now buffeting places like Arizona and Texas.  Madrigal joins
us to talk about his  analysis, why the White House
explanation that more testing is the reason for the uptick in cases
is insufficient, and what needs to be done to quell the surge.
