"In the first quarter of 2020 the United States found itself in the position of having to respond to the threat of a novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, also known as COVID-19. The virus had originated in Wuhan, China and rapidly spread around the world.

a paper should discuss the U.S. response to contain and control the spread of the virus and ultimately treat the patients who would become infected. This assignment will provide the opportunity to examine how the concepts covered in the course material to date are applied in a real-world situation while understanding the complexities involved.

Your analysis should answer the following questions:

1. What was the initial public health response and how effective was it?

2. How did the Federal and State governments respond? How did the fragmentation of the current system impact their response?

3. How did the providers of health care and human services respond? What were some of the specific challenges they faced?

4. Identify how societal norms, anthro-cultural beliefs, geographic differences, the economy, and politics helped or hindered the response efforts."
