That's our metric for a multi-trillion dollar global economy? That first world countries with the most resources like the US can at least keep it's citizens fed and clothed during a pandemic? No offense, but countries many Americans would consider "third world" can do that too. And this is what's wrong with our current "system". Why are "first world" economies with the most resources struggling with "third world" problems?

Not only is everyone fed and clothed, people are also buying video streaming services, ordering takeout, getting groceries delivered, video chatting with friends. I mean... my wife and I are ordering things to further our hobbies and enrich our daughter's lives. This is literally the easiest pandemic ever.
