In the shadow of the pandemic

Nursing homes across the country have closed their doors to visitors
amid the pandemic. POLITICO’s Alexandra Levine explains how that lack of
human connection — combined with communication problems — has left
nursing home residents and their families in the dark. Plus, airlines
are planning massive layoffs if Congress doesn’t renew payroll support.
And Wisconsin's governor declares a state of emergency amid protests
over a police shooting.
