Historian Niall Ferguson says government bureaucracy is to blame for inadequate preparation and slow U.S. COVID-19 response.
COVID-19 has been a generation-defining event for the entire world, but especially here in the United States where more than half a million people have been killed by the coronavirus. Many people are unsure as to who is to blame for this disastrous lack of preparedness. Some believe the slow response is the fault of public health agencies, like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
One historian says that we can learn a lot by putting the pandemic in the more broad historical context of other crises humanity has endured.
