> we (the US) still don't have adequate testing or tracing capabilities, and no cure in sight.
this is what is crazy. the u.s. has quite literally made the decision to make the effects of this virus the worst possible ones and to let them linger in both space and time. the whole response is to lie and divert and half ass everything such that infections and deaths keep rising, unemployment skyrockets, the economy tanks, etc. it is really despicable, and i am seriously beginning to worry about being in the u.s. through the next six months.
i mean, did the u.s. even consider trying to learn from even a single other country? it is really showcasing the vast systemic problems we have in this country that everyone talks about but then dismisses and then ignores. our government and support structure is wholly fragmented, and we have corporations rushing in thinking they can save the day. meanwhile, countries with universal healthcare, welfare, and support structures are breezing through this.
