The US response is not regionally uniform especially compared to some nations eg. Israel but we're doing ok from a global perspective. Generally, i think the regional differences are a feature, not bug, of the US but obviously this isn't really advantageous in the pandemic. We developed several vaccines and slowly but steadily vaccinated huge amounts of people (we have a bigger population and lower density than to most nations we're compared to here). We had a few missteps like the mask mandate press and mask efficacy warnings, but otherwise got key medical info and protective equipment out across a large nation rapidly. We rapidly transitioned to remote work, host most of the requisite infrastructure and are home to most companies that made that possible. We mobilized early to provide health care, from testing to pop-up hospitals across cities. Sure its sad to think of hospitals being overrun and using hotels, but many nations were left with even less. Our only big mis-step was the political nature of the virus that we bred.
