Eddie Glaude: Coronavirus Will Reveal ‘the Very Deep Problems We Have in Our Society’

‘Part of what the Coronavirus will reveal is the ugly underbelly of American society’

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE: “We need to talk about the population of the homeless in San Francisco. What are we doing, what are we saying about the most vulnerable among us, those who have experienced in some ways the brunt of the radical inequality that defines our society at this moment? So it seems to me that what we need to be doing is pushing Donald Trump and the Administration in some ways to begin what are they doing, how are they going to respond to the most vulnerable among us, to those workers who are really being dispossessed? And this is an important question, particularly with regards to our health care industry as he spent since day one trying to dismantle the ACA. And so what corona is going to reveal here very clearly is in some ways the very deep problems we have in our society."
