Back Porch Files: Pandemic, Politics, and the Canceled Plan
In the early months of COVID-19, Donald Trump publicly downplayed the danger even as he privately acknowledged that the virus was airborne and deadly.

This episode examines the reporting that politics may have helped kill the plan, the possibility that Democratic governors were deliberately left holding the blame, and the larger question of what happens when protecting lives becomes less important than controlling who gets the credit.
