Preparing For NYC's Second Wave

The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 18, 2020

Once America's Coronavirus hot spot, New York has succeeded in reducing the number of new cases and deaths, but health experts worry that complacency and out of state travel could lead to an uptick in cases. Dr. Irwin Redlener, professor of pediatrics and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University and co-founder of the Children's Health Fund,  talks about whether New Yorkers should expect a second wave, and how to stay prepared.
