How the Virus Won

I'm not generally a big fan of animated infographics, but the New York Times is one organization that does them right. Their latest explains how the coronavirus spread in the United States. It's a remarkable article. Notes at the end contain links to the information sources they used if you want to dig deeper. (Tip: Don't try reading the article on your phone; it really needs to be viewed on a large monitor). 

Unfortunately, it also makes it very clear that the governments of the US have dug themselves into a very deep hole. I don't think they're going to get out of it without a lot more sickness and death – most of which could have been avoided if they had acted quickly and rationally.
