If the US Had Handled COVID-19 Like Europe Did, 60,000 Americans Would Still Be Alive

In his guest column for Fortune , BCG’s CEO, Rich Lesser, outlines the crucial steps the US needs to take to overcome the pandemic. He explains that people of color, those over 65, and people with specific preconditions are more vulnerable to COVID-19. He references a BCG analysis which suggests that the US’s high pandemic-related death count comes from a combination of heightened exposure risk and a lack of sufficient testing. He urges business and political leaders to work together and learn from their past mistakes to defeat the virus.
