Dr. Ashish Jha: Making Sense of the Recent COVID-19 Surge in the US | GZERO World

With the world's attention focused on the results of the US presidential election, there was little talk of the largest spike in US COVID-19 cases to date, which occurred that very week. Regardless of how the political campaign shakes out, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health Dr. Ashish Jha thinks that the country could be in for a very dark winter.

In a recent interview with Ian Bremmer, Dr. Jha said that in order to curb the virus' spread, "we've got to do a better job of helping people understand so they can make better choices." Their conversation was part of the latest episode of GZERO World, which begins airing nationally in the US on public television this Friday, November 6th. Check local listings.
