Panorama reports from New York City, asking why more than 16,000 people have died of coronavirus in a city with some of the best health care in the world.
Reporter Hilary Andersson travels from her home in Vermont to the dark heart of America's coronavirus crisis, New York City. Meeting despairing doctors, health workers and community activists, she asks why more than 16,000 people have died in a city with some of the best health care in the world.
