Comparing the Pandemic Responses in New York and Seattle

Season 2020 Episode 2219

About the Episode

New Yorker journalist Charles Duhigg has been comparing the pandemic responses in New York and Seattle. Both cities were hit by the outbreak at around the same time, from late February to early March. Today, New York accounts for more than 30% of all U.S. coronavirus deaths, and fewer than 2% are in Washington. Duhigg speaks to Michel Martin about exactly how this disparity developed.
