COVID-19 in America: correlation between viral disease and forms of government?

Abstract

This presentation will consider 2013 PLOS One research about a correlation between an abundance of infectious diseases and authoritarianism. Specifically, I will talk about how this is particularly relevant considering the unique political divide in America over COVID-19. Additionally, I will explore advertising and design trends of our country in historical eras of great divide and compare similarities or divergences from today.
