    Let's be honest, it is WILD that the United States - previously a world leader - has so completely failed when it comes to COVID-19 Hopefully we'll finally see that turning aroundhttps://twitter.com/PeterASinger/status/1325200258545168384 …

        It's not wild it's exactly as predicted, when I wrote the scenarios for the pandemic response playbook in 2009 I predicted all large physically connected nations to be worse off then small or physically barriered ones, especially the usa as the constitution limits gov actions

        You can’t imagine the dismay when when you’ve spent your entire life believing we had such powerful, professional, competent public health institutions and a federal govt that was always on top of everything, and all it took was one bad actor to make the whole thing crumble.

        The less access to people the virus has the lower the infection rate will be Only way we know for sure will stop it is to stop giving it people to feed on Take vitamin D wear a mask work from home if u can Avoid crowds If you're sick at all get tested or self-isolate for 2-3 wks

        The US never left. Trump gave the mandatory 1 year notice last July. The official departure will never happen. Still Trump owes the WHO 61 million dollars (way past due).

        It is decades of health neglect the is the reason for this. It too late to build a well when already thirsty. It tempting and easy to blame the orange guy. But he is not a root cause, at all.

        Let's not pretend the U.S. had been among the top performers with a different leadership. Public health has suffered from underinvestment for decades and ACA did very little to improve that.
