Larry Brilliant: "This Isn't a Science-First Administration"

President Trump says COVID-19 is dying out, but the data directly contradicts his claim. Oklahoma is seeing a record increase in new cases this week and 23 other states show spikes as well. Epidemiologist Dr. Larry Brilliant has been sounding the alarm about pandemics for years. He explains to Walter Isaacson what he learned about combating viruses while working for the WHO in India.
