Elizabeth Warren talks keeping people and democracy healthy during coronavirus on 'Full Frontal'
From there, Warren got down to business, saying she was fighting to make sure testing for the coronavirus would be increased exponentially and railing against the bidding wars that have erupted between states vying for personal protective equipment.
“This is beyond a waste of money!” Warren said. “Having different states and sometimes medical centers bidding against each other so the price of a mask that used to be 40 cents goes up to $4 or $15 just means states are shelling out money like crazy — money they don’t have to try to protect their people. And at the same time, who’s raking it all in? A profiteer, some kind of manufacturer. That is nuts.
Warren also spoke about the importance of including voter protections in any forthcoming coronavirus legislation, calling the recent election in Wisconsin — whichdespite the obvious health risk — a warning sign. To make sure people could safely vote in November, Warren said every state should be required to send a ballot and postage prepaid envelope to every registered voter, that people should be able to register to vote online, and that registration periods should be extended.
At the end of the interview, Bee asked Warren about Congress’ own quarantine and whether there were any upsides to it, such as not having to speak with Ted Cruz as often.
