Well, what in your vastly, superior intelligence, is the US to do?
It has nothing to due with intelligence, I am just stating facts.
Something the Fox News saturated crowd and your President are not concerned with what so ever.
It is hard to say what The United States of Anger can do as you are a failing republic caught between deluded and dysfunctional President and a weak and muddle Democratic opposition.
Your one saving grace in an ever failing federal system is federalism itself, which at least allows the states to pick up where the federal government has failed.
Some states will, others will not.
But the problems The United States of Anger have are much older than the pandemic.
You cannot figure out health care, you have the most expensive system in the world with some of the worst macro results. Even the Democrats cannot pull it off. Your economy is always measured in a half wit, simplistic way. Simple unemployment numbers with no serious analysis of what those jobs pay in relation to the cost of living, hence you have the largest working population just above the poverty line and a declining middle class.
Your political class, both parties are owned by large economic interests hence the inability to pursue any progressive social reforms for the benefit of the majority.
You have more people in prison than any other democratic country due to an idiot and failed war on drugs.
I do not know that America can do, the culture is so divided, angry and distracted from what really matters.
The solution will come from some of the more courageous and progressive leaders in some of the states, if there are any?
I reckon America is going to be wrestling with this virus storm most of the year given the chaos or your response, decline and then spikes of infection and the social aftermath of your unemployment rates combined with a totally dysfunctional social welfare system is going to see you have some of the highest poverty rates in the democratic world.
And Trump nor Biden have any clue about what to do about it?
