Ep. 42: How Social Inequality in America is Making the Coronavirus Even More Deadly
Jonathan Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry, and the director of the Center for Medicine, Health, and Society, at Vanderbilt University in Nashville.
He is the author of several books, including Prozac on the Couch and The Protest Psychosis. His new book is Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America's Heartland.
Dr. Metzl explains how the novel coronavirus pandemic will further expose social inequality in America. He also shares what his contacts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have told him about their frustration and anger at not being allowed by the Trump regime to properly conduct research about the novel coronavirus.
Dr. Metzl is also deeply concerned that the partisanship of Donald Trump and his Republican Party will literally kill people in those states that refused the Medicaid expansion because of racist hostility to Barack Obama and the Affordable Care Act.
