America needs to put politics aside when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic, says Ron Klain. That’s one lesson Klain learned from his work with the deadly Ebola virus. Klain was White House Ebola response coordinator under President Obama. Another critical lesson: science should guide decision-making. He speaks with Aspen Institute President Dan Porterfield about the delicate balance of reopening the US economy and keeping people safe.
