I dunno USA - why not look at Canada as your control to how well you're handling this thing?
I mean Canada and US are on the same page in so many ways, they are right next door and share the same breathable airspace and share the same potbellied truck drivers sharing the same truck stop hookers (sarcasm that).
Covid stats Canada - 55,000 cases 3,300 deaths.
Covid stats US - 1,131,492 cases 65,000 deaths.
Canada population vs USA? 37 million vs 328 million.
Canada has been very inconsistent from province to province (based on the politics of the local regime) but has generally been much more aggressive than the US in implementing societal controls.
I think that's the thing that scares me the most - our personal well being has never been more in the hands of our government since the dawn of the first modernity.
