Democrats, in turn, viewed the crisis as evidence of Trump's indifference to public well-being. At a time when solidarity and bipartisan unity were sorely needed, Americans came to see the pandemic in partisan terms, adopting behaviors and attitudes that continue to divide us today. This book draws on a wealth of new data on public opinion to show how pandemic politics has touched all aspects of our lives--from the economy to race and immigration--and puts America's COVID-19 response in global perspective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn in-depth account of a uniquely American tragedy, \u003ci\u003ePandemic Politics\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how the politicization of the COVID-19 pandemic has profound and troubling implications for public health and the future of democracy itself.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShana Kushner Gadarian\u003c\/b\u003e is the Merle Goldberg Fabian Professor of Excellence in Citizenship and Critical Thinking at Syracuse University and the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eAnxious Politics\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eSara Wallace Goodman\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of political science at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of \u003ci\u003eCitizenship in Hard Times\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cb\u003eThomas B.
