The special challenge of COVID-19 care in rural America
Cases of COVID-19 have been rising in some rural parts of the U.S. -- many of which were already squeezed for medical care before the pandemic. With fewer resources available in these places, a spike in patients requiring hospitalization and intensive care can be especially dangerous. William Brangham talks to Dr. Shanti Akers, a pulmonologist at the Phoebe Putney Health System in Albany, Georgia.
