Show Notes

John McIlwain and Mary Richardson Lowry discuss Chicago's response to the pandemic and its impact on Chicago's public health infrastructure with Chicago's Mayor Lori Lightfoot.  In the wake of the most significant health crisis in recent memory, perhaps in our lifetime, Chicago has fared considerably better than many peer municipalities across the country when it comes to identifying vulnerable populations and getting people vaccinated and protected.  Mayor Lightfoot discusses the steps that helped Chicago perform much better than many of our peers.
