LPP 50 w Dr. Jay Bhattacharya | Lessons Learned from U.S. COVID-19 Policies
Thank you for watching this week's episode of the "Let People Prosper" podcast. Today, I'm honored to be joined by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Professor of Health Policy at Stanford University and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economics Research. We discuss: 1) How the U.S.' policy response to the COVID-19 pandemic harmed the poor, working class, and children and the subsequent side effects those groups continue to grapple with; 2) Why shutting down the economy and enforcing social distancing is not effective from a health and medicine perspective and a better alternative; and 3) Why Dr. Bhattacharya fears the U.S. would have the same response in the event of another pandemic and his suggestions for how to handle one.
