Sorry, but pointing out that across two administrations no effective response to COVID has been mounted in the US is not snark. You can repeat that it’s inevitable as many times as you want, but that is demonstrably untrue evidenced by places that did respond effectively to the pandemic.
And you can point out all the little isolated places in the middle of an ocean that have had no problems all you want to but you have yet to inform us how a country the size of America can avoid a world wide pandemic.
I'd say that getting three vaccines ready inside of a year
is a pretty darn good response to a major pandemic. How many vaccines did Australia make?
Zero. Nada. Zip. Ziltch. And what % of Aussies are vaccinated?
As for isolated places, the island nation of Tonga has true
ZERO COVID. No Covid 19 cases. Of course it's a really small island few people ever even heard of.
I've never heard of it before now.
The more isolated the local is, the easier it is to keep out
THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN - - - - - oooops, covid 19 ... or any similar major respiratory pandemic.
The United States of America is the flip side of Tonga; NOT isolated. I wish it was.
Do you rag on Italy, India, England, or other countries that have suffered with covid 19 as harshly as you do America?
Or are you just laser-beam focused on America?
