The Government, the People and the Coronavirus Pandemic

Since the onset of the corona virus in the United States, which now is part of a pandemic afflicting many countries of the world, there have been, and will continue to be, dramatic changes in practically every aspect of our way of life.

Listeners discuss whether the power equation between government and the people appears to be holding, or whether they see possible overreaching by President Trump and his administration.
