Money Monday - Financial Relief
We interview Alexis Madrigal, staff writer at the Atlantic and founder of The COVID Tracking project, about the current state of coronavirus testing and why it took so long to get started.
Congress still hasn’t reached a deal on the coronavirus relief bill. We discuss where things stand, with five Republican senators in self-isolation and one recently diagnosed with Covid-19.
And in headlines: Kentucky does voter suppression while no one is looking, less traffic and pollution, and streaming services cut bit rates in the EU.
America’s medical professionals are doing all they can to ensure the best care for COVID-19 patients. But in order to slow the spread of the virus and give hospitals the time they need to prepare for a potential influx of patients, nurse McKinley Mather-Pike says there are several things we can all be doing.
Mather-Pike, who lives in Wilmington, North Carolina, also explains how we can safely care for our elderly loved ones in this time and what to do if you think you might have COVID-19. Listen to the podcast below.
Enjoy the show!

What do we all use, but never visit?
The sound artist Matt Parker takes us inside the bizarre world of remote Data Centres, where our wireless world is powered by rows and rows of computers running all day, everyday.
But what is the true cost of these centres to our planet?
What do they sound like?
And why does one have an empty white room with an executive leather armchair and a faceless portrait hanging on the wall?
James Ward introduces another curious talk about a subject that may seem boring, but is actually very interesting.... maybe.
CALLING ALL OLOGISTS: If you’re a scientist who wants to help with the COVID-19 pandemic -- boy howdy have we got an episode for you. Dr. Mike Wells, a neurobiologist at Harvard University and the Broad Institute, knows we need tests in the U.S. and is coralling all the wonderful scientists willing to pitch in. He explains how testing for the SARS CoV-2 virus works, what other countries are doing, and even the book that inspired him to pursue science. Also: if you’re feeling helpless and want to help, Patrons give dozens of ideas on how to help those around you, and where to go for resources if you need help, and how to take care of your own mental and physical well being during an uncertain time. Also the album I’m listening to too much and how much toilet paper I have left.
