There's nothing particularly original about this article and it's mostly preaching to the choir. According to the author, the pandemic will not end _in the US_ because of -- "rugged individualim" -- the lousy healthcare system -- racism -- the division between the rich and poor None of these causes are necessarily wrong but they are very US-centric. The rest of the world has failed to end the pandemic despite better healthcare and a history of valuing the collective over the individual. Iterating through America's ills doesn't add anything to the discussion and probably distracts from figuring out how to address this on a planet-wide level.
