“…The more active role of New York state government reflected the respect for state autonomy in the US federal system as well as the primary coordinating role of states in the US emergency response system. This system allowed New York State to take independent and aggressive measures, to mobilize local governments, private businesses, and citizens, and to initiate inter-state collaborations, when federal leadership in steering a nationwide strategy was missing (Bowman and McKenzie 2020;Mallinson 2020). A rather contrasting picture was observed in China.…”

“…The state government had to make repeated requests and negotiate with the federal government for support and resources, such as securing medical supplies and seeking help from Army Corps of Engineers to build temporary hospitals. The lack of a consistent nationwide strategy left state governments, including New York, to negotiate and collaborate with other states and the private sector in joint pandemic responses (Mallinson 2020). In fact, Governor Cuomo repeatedly complained in his daily briefings that New York State had to engage in competitive bids with other states and even the federal government to procure medical supplies.…”

“…Federal government powers do not allow it to impose specific restrictions on states [ 59 ]; however, its resources are vast , with the ability to develop national guidelines, promote scientific research and vaccine development, and direct resources toward COVID-19 relief [ 60 - 62 ]. Unfortunately, city mayors and state governors must patch together uncoordinated piecemeal COVID-19 control policies [ 63 - 65 ].…”

Background The emergence of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has led to a global pandemic. The United States has been severely affected, accounting for the most COVID-19 cases and deaths worldwide. Without a coordinated national public health plan informed by surveillance with actionable metrics, the United States has been ineffective at preventing and mitigating the escalating COVID-19 pandemic. Existing surveillance has incomplete ascertainment and is limited by the use of standard surveillance metrics. Although many COVID-19 data sources track infection rates, informing prevention requires capturing the relevant dynamics of the pandemic. Objective The aim of this study is to develop dynamic metrics for public health surveillance that can inform worldwide COVID-19 prevention efforts. Advanced surveillance techniques are essential to inform public health decision making and to identify where and when corrective action is required to prevent outbreaks. Methods Using a longitudinal trend analysis study design, we extracted COVID-19 data from global public health registries. We used an empirical difference equation to measure daily case numbers for our use case in 50 US states and the District of Colombia as a function of the prior number of cases, the level of testing, and weekly shift variables based on a dynamic panel model that was estimated using the generalized method of moments approach by implementing the Arellano-Bond estimator in R. Results Examination of the United States and state data demonstrated that most US states are experiencing outbreaks as measured by these new metrics of speed, acceleration, jerk, and persistence. Larger US states have high COVID-19 caseloads as a function of population size, density, and deficits in adherence to public health guidelines early in the epidemic, and other states have alarming rates of speed, acceleration, jerk, and 7-day persistence in novel infections. North and South Dakota have had the highest rates of COVID-19 transmission combined with positive acceleration, jerk, and 7-day persistence. Wisconsin and Illinois also have alarming indicators and already lead the nation in daily new COVID-19 infections. As the United States enters its third wave of COVID-19, all 50 states and the District of Colombia have positive rates of speed between 7.58 (Hawaii) and 175.01 (North Dakota), and persistence, ranging from 4.44 (Vermont) to 195.35 (North Dakota) new infections per 100,000 people. Conclusions Standard surveillance techniques such as daily and cumulative infections and deaths are helpful but only provide a static view of what has already occurred in the pandemic and are less helpful in prevention. Public health policy that is informed by dynamic surveillance can shift the country from reacting to COVID-19 transmissions to being proactive and taking corrective action when indicators of speed, acceleration, jerk, and persist...

“…Interactions and coordination between the states and the federal government prior and amid the pandemic were very confusing. "Commentators both decried and praised federalism as the crisis unfolded, the national government faltered in its leadership, and governors moved in different directions in their responses (Mallinson, 2020:1)". The President at the federal level has had different directions, and Governors have had different preparedness at the state level.…”

“The virus does not see race, caste, class, gender, region, religion, language, and border.” This is a ubiquitous saying, but pandemics hit the vulnerable sections of the society the hardest, which has been proved many times in history. Today, this fact is verified again. Covid-19 attacks the poor and the marginalized sections of the community severely; these groups have had more infected and lost more lives than others. Why do diseases impact the poor and marginal sections of the community more than other groups? The template answer says that this— because of their ghettoized living conditions, lack of hygienic foods, and poor health conditions and medical facilities. This article tries to assess why the poor and working-class suffers more from such pandemics from a sociological lens. Various quantitative information and qualitative understandings have been apprised in the article to assess why the poor and working-class suffers more in such pandemics. Various newspaper articles and research work were reviewed to analyze facts and situations. This article reflected the situation of minorities amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-pandemic situation. The discussion and conclusion derived in the paper may not be generalized.
