The Voter Fraud That Wasn't; COVID-19 Outbreaks in New York & New Jersey; Pandemic Thanksgiving Advice
The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 11, 2020
On today's show:
- President Trump has claimed massive voter fraud as the reason he didn't win the election (not that he's conceded...). Nick Corasaniti, New York Times national politics reporter, and his colleagues called around to election officials all over the country and found zero evidence of such fraud.
- As coronavirus cases continue to rise in the tri-state area and Governor Cuomo has announced new restrictions to try to stop the spread, Jake Dobkin, co-founder of Gothamist and Lindy Washburn, health care reporter for The Record and NorthJersey.com, focus in on the numbers: cases, positivity rate, hospitalizations and more.
- From safety concerns about travel to staving off fights about politics once you arrive, there's nothing simple about Thanksgiving in a pandemic. Julia Marcus, infectious disease epidemiologist and associate professor at Harvard Medical School and a contributor to The Atlantic, and Joshua Coleman, senior fellow at the Council on Contemporary Families, psychologist and author of Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict, join for a full hour of advice.
