The United States is hitting a third wave of coronavirus cases while we reconsider our nation’s leadership. What would it take for either Biden or Trump to get life in the U.S. “back to normal” again?

KIRO Radio’s Dave Ross interviews virologist Dr. William Haseltine, a former Harvard researcher with a focus on public health, about how we can banish the pandemic for good … even without a vaccine.

Then, reporter Aaron Granillo joins to talk about what the exit polls suggest American voters prioritized this election: the economy, or the pandemic?

Ross: Voters can help cull bad politicians from the herd early

Let's remember that just about every occupant of a higher office once occupied a lower office, and was put there by us, Dave Ross says.
