Most important podcast I've done with @djrothkopf.
We interviewed Pulitzer Prize-winner @Laurie_Garrett.
Garrett's many insights on #COVID19 includes:
"Public and politician confusion" about two types of tests.
Need for surveillance testing

Important to know whether closing schools' works to stem spread, to know various vectors of virus, etc.
Media need to ask more about surveillance testing, not just diagnostic testing.
@T_Inglesby: “We don’t know how many cases we have. We can’t estimate that until we’ve done clinical testing and surveillance testing.”
