Politicizing and Polarizing the Pandemic Pinned America As Global Epicenter

The U.S. has the highest number of coronavirus cases and deaths in the world. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows there have been over 15,000 cases almost every day since the end of March. On Tuesday, over 34,000 new cases were recorded.

It has now been suggested the uptick in COVID-19 cases may, in part, be due to politicization of the pandemic, with a failure to coordinate a unified response across the country.
