I am more and more struck by how effectively people live in a bubble. It's way too easy to hear what you want to hear.

I've had multiple conversations today where people asked me if "anyone besides me" is panicked that we're going to reopen without being ready.
I also think that TV has got to do better. You know who's panicked? The epidemiologists and public health specialists. HAVE THEM ON YOUR SHOWS.

Don't put them on panels. Don't surround them with pundits & politicians. Don't bump them first because the press conference went long
Focus on them. Give them whole segments to explain what's up. Ask them what questions we should be asking - AND THEN ASK POLITICIANS THOSE QUESTIONS.
Dedicate a whole hour to it. Give them room to breathe. I want a whole segment with @edyong and @HelenBranswell and @sxbegle

And have a host who gets this and couldn't care less about how this affects the election.

I'll volunteer if you can't find anyone else. Or I'd help!
Omg I meant @edyong209 of course!
