Is controlling a public health emergency—like the COVID-19 pandemic—part of the job description of the American government? Why or why not? How do you know? What do you think the government should do or not do in response to the pandemic? Hint: The first chapter of the textbook talks a lot about the role of governments and a search of the textbook shows a lot of discussion of the pandemic and the government’s response that you might draw on for your paper. You can run a search of the textbook by clicking on the menu icon in the upper left hand corner of the textbook and then clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
