      I know these times are hard, that we’ve frayed and maxed out on bad news. If you’re wondering if you can cope with a big piece on this topic, I don’t know. But fwiw, I don’t write these to stoke fear or drain hope. I hope to clarify and embolden. 2/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      Across these months, I’ve been repeatedly struck by how foreseeable everything seemed—how every vulnerability that the pandemic tore open was predictable & preventable. We had built a world “ever more prone to a pandemic but ever less ready for one.” 3/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      This is about Trump, obviously, but also America’s legacy of racism, neglect of public health, devaluation of expertise, & devotion to individualism. “COVID‐19 is an assault on America’s body, and a referendum on the ideas that animate its culture.” 4/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      This story, then, is about prisons & hospitals, social media & supply chains. It's about virology, psychology, sociology, architecture. It's about how we built a world "ever more prone to a pandemic but ever less ready for one.” 5/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      We long to return to normal, but **normal led to this**. To avert the future pandemics we know are coming, we MUST grapple with all the ways normal failed us. We have to build something better. I hope this piece, in showing what went wrong, helps. 6/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      This is the culmination of months of reporting, those other big pieces, & 100+ interviews. I hope even people who’ve followed the pandemic closely will find fresh perspectives here, and a sense of coherence. I hope it provides clarity and purpose. 7/https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ …

      This is one of 2 cover stories for this month’s issue & Ibram X. Kendi's piece on America’s racial reckoning will be out Wed. For now, check out this stunning cover. HOW DID IT COME TO THIS? Well, here’s how: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/09/coronavirus-american-failure/614191/ … 8/pic.twitter.com/Mmi7AUuhay

      (For those who pointed out that the piece was behind the paywall, that was a technical glitch that has now been rectified; it's now free for everyone to read.)
