Even per capita the disparity is ridiculous. I’m no longer sure “it’s a third world country” works as an explanation. New guess: “De facto 3rd world” factor: 20% National values: 30% Governance system: 20% Political climate: 10% GOP: 10% Trump: 10%

I’m guessing even if Obama or Hillary or GWB has been in charge it would have been the worst developed nation outcome by a mile. This thing strikes the US right at it’s weakest point (which is also its strongest point in other ways)

Though the sensitivity to dumb actions at the margins is high. So I’d guess Trump is responsible for more deaths than his share of overall blame. Because system is set up to magnify POTUS mistakes.
