Shownotes Transcript

Airdate April 4, 2021: Before hitting his 100-day mark, Pres. Biden has passed a $2T COVID relief bill and proposed a $2T infrastructure and jobs package. Some have already begun putting him in the pantheon with FDR & LBJ.  Are those comparisons apt? Fareed asks historians, Jon Meacham and Niall Ferguson. Then, the WHO's latest report saw no evidence that COVID-19 originated in a lab. Fareed speaks to Peter Daszak, one of the scientists who carried out this controversial investigation in China. And Germany went from great success against COVID-19 to close to failure – now entering its third spike. What changed? Fareed speaks to the New York Time's Correspondent Melissa Eddy. 

GUESTS: Jon Meacham, Niall Ferguson, Peter Daszak, Melissa Eddy
