President Trump and First Lady in quarantine

We bring reaction and developments to the news that President Trump and his wife have tested positive for coronavirus. Journalists who cover the President and Capitol Hill will guide us through the political implications. We also monitor the discussions on social media and in particular any misinformation and conspiracies that are being shared.

Our medical expert to discuss the day’s developments with Covid-19 is Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University. She explains what a positive test might mean for the President and his wife.

We also bring together Republicans and Democrats in Texas, Georgia and Florida to share experiences of the pandemic. They talk about about how their lives have been impacted and how they think the President has handled the coronavirus crisis.
