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.
