As COVID-19 spread across the globe, why was the U.S. caught so unprepared? An investigation of how America’s leaders failed to prepare and protect us - and who is accountable.
This journalism is made possible by viewers like you. Support your local PBS station here: www.pbs.org/donate
In this 90-minute FRONTLINE documentary special, award-winning journalists Marcela Gaviria and Martin Smith trace the coronavirus’s path across the globe and identify a chain of fateful missteps - from Chinese authorities’ early silencing of dissent around the virus's emergence in Wuhan, to the World Health Organization’s failure to more quickly sound the alarm, to Italian officials’ slow initial reaction. Then, “The Virus: What Went Wrong?” zeroes in on key moments in the Trump administration’s halting response - including warnings going back to January, the CDC’s inability to manufacture and mass-distribute a working COVID-19 test early on, and a string of missed opportunities to contain the virus before it was too late.

That is so tragic. So sorry for your loss. I was an aid in the long term care facility the pandemic really changed on how I view the world. Walking into the first covid positive room for the first time scared the shit out of me. Almost quit that day. I needed that job. It was necessity that caused me to stay. Had a big problem with people on unemployment making more money than me just by staying home. Was not prepared to be taken care of infected residents during a pandemic I didn't sign up for that. But I survived can have pride knowing I made a difference. Someday I can brag to my grandchildren Grandma survived the pandemic by taking care of the infected. Not because I was brave, oh hell no needed my job. Anyone that voluntarily does covid care out of the kindness of their heart knowing the risks are the true heroes their bravery should never be forgotten. May your friend rest in peace.

He may never be arranged for what he did to us all but voting him (once again) into LOSER status will hurt him 'biggley'! Sharing these covid documentaries will remind people of who he is, what he has done and why he needs to fail in the Nov. Election. We ALSO need to help people become aware of and access Project 25 info. I share info videos as I find them because folks are not likely to take the time to research and read so we need to do it like 'cliff notes' from back in the day. Meidas Touch Network has a few. (free on U-tube). Informed is empowered and it's time for us to 'shoulder in for a group push'.

As long as the current mode of conservatism holds high offices that won’t happen. Frontline is, first & foremost, INTELLIGENT. The producers look at issues with an emphasis on facts & analysis - both of which have become politicized. Trumpian conservatism is about fear, control, & fantasy. Facts that don’t cater to their fears are rejected, their need for control is rooted in fear, & fantasies (conspiracy theories, interpreting religion to support a political agenda, scapegoating) are fed to them to allay certain fears & amp up others. The Trumpians who walk the halls of the capital buildings have an additional agenda they desperately try to keep on the down low; self-interest. Money & social position pretty much covers it. You could say that our Founding Fathers set up a fantastical system which has always fomented conflict via hypocrisy & inconsistency. Idealistic, beautiful prose resting on a foundation built from the opposite. The only demographic all that pretty prose uniformly applied to from the get-go? White males. FACT. Every other demographic was part of the foundation, the not-so-pretty REALITY. Blacks, women, the natives of this land, the mentally impaired, religions other than Christianity (American version.) Since the Civil War - when white men as a class were FORCED to give up slavery . . . CONFLICT. The violent kick-back of the KKK & their sympathizers, women’s suffrage, the practical application of non-Xtian religions, the Civil Rights movement, the right to hold political beliefs counter to democracy/capitalism, the ERA, the LGBTQ movement, and - last but not least - the enduring struggle between institutional religion & secularism. Every single ounce of actual equality has had to be fought for on the ground & in the courts. Why? That’s not what the prose of our founding documents promised, yet here we are, embroiled in another crisis. Trump’s elevation is a nostalgic triumph of (imo) of white, male-oriented privilege. That’s the reality of “MAGA”, while it’s being simultaneously & publicly denied. Feel a little familiar? It should. Behind the scenes, a lot of Trumpians are quietly raking in the money - the one thing that can ensure they stay above the privations of the hoi polloi. So, yay MAGA-STYLE CAPITALISM! For the good of the country & our future, Trump HAS TO BE an aberration, a one-off, our first & only novelty president. If he’s the start of a trend . . . wave bye-bye to our better angels because we won’t be seeing them for a long time.

In my hometown in Puerto Rico, a relative of my daughters from their mother's side was the first case reported. He spent over a month in the ICU and to this day he has difficulty walking or standing up. He ended up having to resign from his job which required for him to always be going from one place to another. Hardly ever had a chance to sit down for more than a few minutes. Another relative refused to get vaccinated based on her religion and about 2 weeks ago (it's 2023) learned she had covid. A friend of mines and her mom also had it about 3 months ago so the virus hasn't dissapeared. Protect yourselves.

The virus is the propaganda as is that Medicare for all and free college is something that would be good for the country and not destroy our great country and take us broke. I wonder if you will think Medicare for all is a good idea when they tell you that your tax rate has to go up to 70%+ to pay for more handouts? As Americans we are Guaranteed equality not equity your results depend or your effort as it should. If college should be free then as a college graduate you should make the same as someone working at McDonald’s, or are you leftist is equity what you want only when it benefits you?

This is all so very sad. Being a Covid nurse (which I still am as our unit is full of Covid right now) it was very traumatic to watch people coding right and left and we were so unprepared for the intensity of this. Granted the rest of the hospital was empty and healthcare workers were furloughed. We absolutely did not have enough trained staff to handle the level of care the early Covid patients needed.

I don't relish being the bearer of bad news but the polio vaccine was known to be unintentionally contaminated with cancer virus and so the long history of cancer around the world from the 1960's forward. The U.S. government knew about it but could not reveal it to the American people. I learned about this by reading Judyth Vary Baker's book _Me & Lee_ . She was a young biochemistry prodigy working to find a cure for cancer and President Kennedy's alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's extramarital lover in 1963 and they both met coincidentally and worked together on a CIA project to develop an aggressive cancer virus to be used to assassinate Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Oswald was a secret U.S. government agent and he was assigned the task of delivering the perishable cancer virus to a contact in Mexico City in September, 1963 but the contact never showed up and Oswald tried his best to deliver the virus to Cuba himself to no avail. Oswald was later roped into a conspiracy to assassinate President Kennedy and was also part of an assassination abort mission. Needless to say he was thrust into a predicament and was set up and posthumously framed for the assassination in order to curtail suspicion of a conspiracy which is exactly what it was.

Reverse positions often, lie if needed. The hoax statement is less important than the continual misinfo like “It’s under control”. Confronted about that later, he spins it. Asked by a reporter at one point about lack of tests, he replies, “Everyone can get a test” (absolute BS at the time). All these things pile up.

I'm almost certain, without a doubt, that we had the virus here before they even knew we did. My uncle died here in Indiana in February when we were just being told that it was a few cases in NYC. We all got sick, with a horrible cough, and he was 69yrs old, but a healthy, and vibrant 69 yrs old, but he got it so much worse than the rest of the family. We have a weird situation, but he lived with my stepmom after my dad died. So she was gonna take him to the hospital when she got home from her 10 to 6 shift st work. She got home and found him slumped over in the bathroom, and the only thing anyone could think of was that he passed out while coughing, and he died. She had spoken on the phone to him an hour before getting home. She immediately called paramedics but nothing they could do for him. We all wonder to this day if he wasn't one of the 1st to pass from it here in Indiana. Then a few months later we lost the pastor of my mom's church. My spiritual father, who taught me all i know about faith and the Bible. So another big loss. Then a few months later we lost our great grandma. Again she was old. She was 81, but she was a healthy, vibrant, still a mover and shaker, 81. She caught it, and 24 hrs from the development of a cough she was gone!! Just too much pain and loss for our family!! We just had it for the 2nd, or possible 3rd time last month. This time it wasn't anything more than being tired and cold symptoms. But its so sad when we look back. The whole family thought i was crazy when I started wearing a scarf to go in the stores in early Feb 2020. I knew once Wuhan shut down that it was bad and I'm just an idiot layman! How they thought we wouldn't get it was just ridiculous to say the least. So many good people lost because of the governments slow and frankly on Donald Trump's behalf, criminal, down playing of the virus. I think Pence wanted to tell the truth, along with Fauci, but the others were liars thru and thru!!! May all the people we lost, R.I.P. You'll never be forgotten!

Well, that’s pretty silly. It is an airborne virus, only transferred through air. The virus is killed immediately when exposed to outdoor air. It was designed in a lab and only survives in indoor lab like conditions. Avoid spending long hours indoors in large crowded buildings with recycled air. Get as much fresh air as possible. Do not wear masks outdoors. If you insist on wearing a mask in doors in crowded places, make sure it’s an N95 respirator or bette. Make sure it fits properly, and only use it one time. Use disinfecting nasal spray and gargle with mouthwash daily, especially after spending time indoors with others. Wearing masks does not promote good health, it can lead to bacterial infections of the airways, mouth and skin.

@Bonnie Holman did you even watch the documentary? Go to 52:32, Fauci literally said this is not enough, this only delays the pandemic. It will eventually hit our shores. Fauci knew the inevitable and called for an investment into our medical infrastructure to minimize the amount of human life lost in this pandemic. The point you make about Pelosi going to Chinatown and saying spend money is xenophobic. At this point, Trump was still holding campaign rallies which are bigger spreaders of the virus so you should blame him. Additionally, if Trump listened to everything Fauci was saying we would probably have a nation wide mask mandate, most schools would be online in the fall, and the Trump administration would have created a national plan to give out PPE to states and rapidly ramp up the United States testing capacity.

In mid-Feb last year I lived on Long Island in NY and had the WORSE flu-like symptoms I can recall. I ended up getting a chest x-ray and being diagnosed with "asthmatic bronchitis", buying $100 worth of meds, and going home. It took a few weeks to get better, and I was still coughing when Covid became a concern. My sister and her son who lived downstairs also felt a bit sick with something, so did my mother who hates taking over-the-counter meds due to her heart meds... I still wonder if I had gotten it and they didn't catch it.

Especially the one who cannot be sued while in office. I think the law needs to be updated so that when national damage/loss of lives are involved, the people do not need to wait for an election -- any incompetent at a high level of office including the President and Commander in Chief -- should be removed at once for the sanctity of the Office of the Presidency, for the safety of the American people. The loyalists who protect such abuse of power should also be summarily removed. The patriots that were unfairly removed like Marie Yovanovitch, Vindman, Richard Bright etc should be reinstated at the same time.

Our losses in Vietnam are a national tragedy. The extent of the lies and losses were hidden from the American people until the pentagon papers were released. The lies of this tragedy and administration are revealed to us every day.

@yusuf islam Yusuf: The release of Fauci’s emails is thus one more piece in a mosaic of COVID-19 malfeasance by Big Tech, Beltway bureaucrats, and our fundamentally dishonest media. The scandal - and it is a scandal - was neatly captured by Republican Congressman Steve Scalise in a single tweet: “Big Tech was censoring posts about the Wuhan lab leak. The media was calling people who talked about the Wuhan lab leak conspiracy theorists. All while Fauci himself was emailing about COVID-19 possibly leaking from the Wuhan lab." Regardless, the scandal here is real. Take the issue of masks. Early on in the pandemic, Fauci himself said publicly that masks don’t work due to the particle size of COVID-19 and aren’t needed. Later, the doctor would completely flip, becoming an obsessive mask-pusher, claiming that he initially lied to protect PPE stockpiles. See the trend? Everything Fauci does is always spun as him simply being a valiant protector of the people. But, a stunning email reveals exactly what Fauci was saying privately early on about masks. Was he protecting PPE for first responders? No, he was telling his colleagues that masks weren’t necessary and giving scientific reasons for his assertion, which undercuts his present claim that what he was saying publicly was just a lie to influence public behavior.
