Why Americans will cause one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks. A. A vast majority are self-centered and ignorant, believing that we know more than experts because of Google University. B. We are self-indulgent, unwilling to make sacrifices until problems are out of control...

...C. We have a nation that is so torn apart that millions were convinced a global health emergency was a lie perpetrated by people with different political beliefs. D. There is an entire media apparatus (Fox etc) that promoted the lie for ratings and politics advantage...

... E. Millions are unable to recognize that we have an incompetent President, whose mismanagement of this is on a historic scale, and who is lying every single day about this in order to feign greatness.....

... F. Many believe those lies, with result that they think refusing to follow safety advisories is a way to shove it in the face of those with different political opinions....

... G. Many -including politicians- dont understand the mechanisms of pandemics. They don't get that the *right now* is irrelevant, unless it is an action of containment. It is like looking at a small flame in a house, saying "no so bad" so doing nothing as it starts to spread...

....so, rather than put out a small flame, which would be relatively easy, we wait until the house is on fire and expect that the small water bucket we had that could have dealt with the flame will have any impact at all once the house if engulfed in flames.....

... H. Because of that lack of understanding, people don't realize that, if someone in LA gets infected, the virus from that guy can infect someone in Kansas. He touches something, someone touches it and is infected, to the next, to the next, to the next, to the guy in Kansas..

... I. People think their BS "philosophies" are more important than stopping disease. So you have people whining about restaurant closings because "tyranny" and in response, other idiots up their use of them to prove everyone is stupid, when they are the stupid ones...
