Social media and a deeply partisan divide are fueling what the World Health Organization calls an "infodemic," which is just as urgent as the virus itself.

And, going back to work might require getting used to surveillance and data collection in the workplace. Guests: Axios' Bryan Walsh, Ben Geman, and Erica Pandey Credits: "Axios Today" is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries. The team includes Niala Boodhoo, Sara Kehaulani Goo, Carol Alderman, Cara Shillenn, Nuria Marquez Martinez, Naomi Shavin and Alex Sugiura. Music is composed by Evan Viola.
