Topics include impacts of COVID-19 on the poor, differences in media responses to previous influenza versus COVID-19 pandemics, the intersection of race, class, and gender specific to this event, gender and changes in occupational loss, specific impacts on college students, and ways in which technological changes integrated with COVID-19. The contributors argue that COVID-19 made political and social inequality worse and affected various groups of Americans differently. This edited volume discusses mechanisms and rationales for why this is the case and offers potential solutions to instances of accelerating inequities in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edited book brings together essays on America’s political responses to the covid epidemic. By situating the state’s response at the forefront of the public health’s crisis, the authors show how the state’s rationale was to maintain the existing social order, positioned the economy at the expense of saving lives, and ultimately drive an ideological wedge between Democrats and Republicans around the issue of life and death. This is an important read for critical thinkers interested in the larger question of why crises or black swan events do not lead to social change or political realignment.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Randolph Hohle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful, well-research, and timely collection of perspectives, this volume gives its readers not only much to think about, but the opportunity to put those thoughts into action.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Kenneth Varner, associate dean for Academic Programs UNLV College of Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: The Impact of Covid-19 on Political Dynamics, Social Inequality, and the Wellbeing of Americans \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeoffrey L.
