Episode Notes
Getting tested for the coronavirus has never been as easy as it should be in the U.S. We’ve seen equipment shortages, long delays for test results, and even mixed messages about who should be getting tested.

Guest: Robinson Meyer, a staff writer at the Atlantic. Read his latest story, “The Plan That Could Give Us Our Lives Back.”
