YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe grim toll of the coronavirus pandemic is a reality many Americans have come facetoface with in recent months. And with the number of COVID19 related deaths rising daily, it can be difficult for those who have yet to experience loss from it firsthand to understand the scope of this terrible disease. There is historical precedent, however, for how the country has dealt with this sort of tragedy, author and former Harvard president Drew Faust () (The Republic of Suffering) notes. How the U.S. handled its hundreds of thousands of Civil War dead revealed a great deal about the country, she says, as does the current crisis. And while many of us might seek reprieve from our harrowing circumstances in the world of basketball, baseball or football, sports writer John Feinstein () (The First Major) paints an unfortunately complex and nuanced picture of what it might take for athletes to get back to their respective games.
