What happened when Democrats threw an all-virtual convention

It's official: Joe Biden is now the Democratic nominee for president. But there was no confetti, no balloon drop, no applause or even a crowd. The pandemic-era four-day convention was all-virtual -- which meant no chance to sell a vision in person, but did give a rare opportunity to carefully curate a message. PBS NewsHour's senior national correspondent Amna Nawaz talks with political reporter Daniel Bush and correspondent Lisa Desjardins, who covered Biden in Delaware, about what happened this week and what it could mean for conventions of the future.

A conversation with coronavirus survivors

The coronavirus has killed 200,000 Americans and infected more than 6.5 million. But of those that contracted the virus, more than 2.5 million have now recovered. As researchers learn more about the coronavirus, it is clear that it can affect people in very different ways. And there are many questions about the long term impacts of the disease. In this episode of America Interrupted, PBS NewsHour correspondent Stephanie Sy talks to three COVID-19 survivors to discuss their varying experiences with the virus, what got them through and what they and others can take away from their story.
