United States

At the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, all eyes were on the West Coast, where the virus first hit. But California, the most populous state in the country, has a fraction of the deaths that New York does. What happened? Join The Times’s San Francisco and Albany bureau chiefs, as they compare the reasons for California’s relative success and New York’s struggles. Special guests Thomas Fuller, San Francisco bureau chief; and Jesse McKinley, Albany bureau chief. Hosted by Kirsten Danis, deputy metro editor.
