America's Response to the Covid-19 Crisis

The United States has taken many actions to help with the pandemic. In the beginning of the pandemic the country worked hard to make sure that everyone who needed it could get testing to provide accurate numbers. Early on the Government created the task force to help provide people with important information and give people updates as time went on. The task force was comprised of the president, and other important people in the government as well as reliable doctors that could provide valuable information about the pandemic. That Task Force has also worked closely with the CDC. Through that group they were able to provide recommendations to state governments about how to help their states and cities. Through out the pandemic, the government has recommended stay at home orders and for people to quarantine. They have also put more strict rules in place. Example of this have been the travel ban to Europe and other countries around the world. The United States has also worked to help people and businesses financially. They have been giving stimulus checks to American citizens to help with the financial burden of the pandemic. They have also been giving out forgivable loans to small businesses to help with payroll to avoid people loosing their jobs. This pandemic effected the United States greatly but the country has worked really hard to help with the effects.
