Seriously, is this an example of American exceptionalism ? That we are exceptionally bad at this ?
We consistently lead the world in number of cases of CV… #3 on the list has a population way larger than ours living in way denser, way poorer conditions - although I suppose it’s a fair point to make that they haven’t tested enough and their actual number of cases is a lot more than shown. Their deaths per capita are also less than ours.
Still, it’s a pretty bad statistic and I don’t think it can be attributed to any one specific political party or a group of politicians in charge. It’s all of US. Thoughts ?
Trump law in effect for the entire world to see;
When presented with a set of options always choose the worse one, screw up the execution and double down on it.
The problem in a nutshell: This is a White House where Jared is considered an expert.
Chris Liddell, a deputy chief of staff, and Jared Kushner, the president’s senior adviser and son-in-law, acted as the group’s procurement and supply-chain experts.
You know it is pretty hilarious that a hundred years ago, when only a little over ten percent of the population had a high school education, antibiotics were still fifteen years off and epidemiology was at a kindergarten level of understanding, the average American was actually much more sensible about this ■■■■■
Why not? It’s Republicans who’ve mocked, called it a hoax, downplayed, reopened too soon, are screaming to reopen schools, are at town halls having temper tantrums about masks, are throwing huge indoor political rallies. Are currently trying to discredit Fauci, the CDC guidelines. Republicans. Top down. It’s attributed to them. Their president, their governors. Republicans.
