318: The Right Kind of Testing

I advocate for a better way to test for COVID-19.

What if there is a better, quicker way to test? I make a case for a re-thinking of how we test for Coronavirus cases, and the huge impact this change could have.

Plus, my break down of Trump's awful interview with Chris Wallace, the latest economic signs, and the unemployment mess that's brewing.
