Teaching in Realtime: How Well Does the American Federal System Respond to Public Health Crises?
How a country responds to a national crisis reveals much about its people and government. American responses to the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 provide just such a window revealing issues of federalism, separation of powers, and civil liberties.
