Spain and Italy are ahead of us on the pandemic timeline. Also, different cultures.

Why not compare us to Canada, a country that is as identical as you re going to get to the US except that it is more socialized in areas like healthcare. They are clearly doing way better than we are.

Why are they ahead of us on the timeline? Could it be the travel ban that Trump enacted in late Jan?

Hypothetical here, but what if there had been a complete travel ban enacted then?

Also, I seem to remember Biden and Sanders calling the travel ban a failure, and racist, etc.

Were they wrong?

Yeah for sure. The travel ban could be the reason.

Now can we return to the discussion about health care systems? Why is Canada's system kicking our ass in it's response to COVID-19?

Also, if the travel ban is the reason, then I guess Canada must have put on a super duper travel ban at the same time as ours? one that was many times more effective than our own?

What are you talking about? Singapore is doing pretty well.

NY TImes had an article yesteday pointing out every misstep he's made, and there were a lot. You are paying for it, and will continue to do so.

"Reported"

"Appears to be..."

Things aren't always as they appear.

So, what has Canada done? Please, explain.

....perhaps the most reputable news sources in the world.

It's always amusing that the same people who skoff at the NY Times etc usually use Youtube clips to back up their points

Exactly. Isn't that the same NYT, along with countless other 'news' sources that have pumped Russia conspiracy theories, Stormy Daniels garbage, and other continuous lies against Trump for the past four years?

Better yet, let's point out the years of proven lies of your 'news' sources. I already started.

Its horrible. The US hospital system is inept, pathetic. Horrible leadership. The virus will kill millions of Americans. The capitalists will put us into another depression.. Flags will burn.

It's going to be impossible to pinpoint differences in outcomes this early on. You can blame whatever you want after it's over and people can dispute the wildly opinionated posts here.

My personal ethical standards prevent me from clicking on links to the NY times.
