The Coronavirus Pandemic in Historic Context

Historian Douglas Brinkley joins CBS News' John Dickerson to discuss how the leadership response to the coronavirus pandemic compares to that of previous crisis in American history. He says the 48 hour window after a crisis is critical. Brinkley makes the case that White House management and structure affects the ability of the federal government to response to national emergencies in a significant way. He tells Dickerson the coronavirus pandemic could potentially leave an imprint on American society and culture for years to come. Brinkley is the Katherine Tsanoff Brown Chair in Humanities and Professor of History at Rice University, his latest book is "American Moonshot: John F. Kennedy and the Great Space Race."
