I had more faith in the medical infrastructure of the US and common sense of the populace!
How wrong I was! I had no idea how woefully underprepared hospitals were for ANY kind of emergency.
Who in the actual world has a coronavirus party? The lack of policing when it came to stop crowds (ironic right?), the strange refusal to wear a mask, the bizzare and blatant apathy.
I could list many things but I have to say, the federal and state governments completely dropped the ball when it came to tracing and enforcing quarantine.
I was reading how Sweden, Germany and South Korea handled the initial pandemic. Now even the hardest hit countries like Spain and Italy are faring very well.
Sweden didn’t close the country at all and relied mostly on voluntary confinement/quarantine though the strategy has been criticized for not protecting elderly but there isn’t a total economic shutdown or untamable level of pandemic.
US got the worst of both worlds mass unemployment, screeching slow economy and uncontrollable intensity of pandemic.
- mycall 6y agoThere is a shared blame to go around to all the science deniers, "news" organizations included.
