Overview

If you have questions about what happened and why it occurred during the Covid-19 pandemic, Covid-19 American Style provides many of the answers. Covid-19 played a powerful role in shaping American society. The pandemic has touched every aspect of the American society and social relationships. Americans have been flooded with rumors, myths, and conspiracy theories about Covid-19 that have shaped how they view Covid-19. While most Americans have complied with restrictions and been vaccinated, pockets of resistance have formed that oppose disease control efforts. Reasons why most Americans have taken the pandemic serious and why others have not, are identified and traced back to their American historic roots. Issues such as, the erosion of trust in science, truth decay, denialism, racism, and degradation of the news, are covered. Similar to so many issues in America, Covid-19 became highly politicized. This politicization led some Americans to make risky health decisions. Diverse opinions about the pandemic and how to best respond are captured by several included national surveys, that show the extent Americans believe misinformation, rumors, and conspiracies. Understanding how American have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic will prove important to future likely pandemics.
