Did the USA do an Awesome Job Controlling the Virus in the Pre-Vaccine Era?

[supercutebutt]

Flatten the curve? Nope!

YES!! :)

Hell NO!! :(

[NatalieKeller95]

some states did but overall the US get's a massive F for it's handling of it, the vaccine might allow for it to improve it's grade, but before the vaccine, we should have been better prepared for it, even when the ebola crisis ended in 2016 the WHO did warn that the world is vastly unprepared for a major global health crisis, everyone should have taken that warning into account, after Ebola the world and the US let down their guard, and this is what happened, hopefully we will learn the important lessons in the aftermath of this pandemic, and be better prepared for the emergence of the next global health crisis

[purplepoppy]

The problem is Americans want their freedom but not the responsibility that goes with it. Doctors and scientists have told you what needs done but no you people act like children and refuse to take advice. Its just as bad in the uk because a large minority ignored the advice.

[Teyfet]

YES, technically the US did do an astonishingly "awesome" job with regards to its handling of Covid-19.

Note: "Awesome" is defined as "EXTREMELY impressive or DAUNTING; INSPIRING GREAT admiration, APPREHENSION, or FEAR. [emphasis added]" That other definition of is informal.

[Nayyr]

The only thing america does an awesome job in is mass shootings

[supercutebutt]

And then denying that the shooting ever took place. False flag!!

[Jjpayne]

I honestly don't know but I've heard mixed things partly involving the fact that trump did not respond quickly enough but thats the rumor anyway

[supercutebutt]

Are you able to process trustworthy information and form conclusions on your own?

[loveslongnails]

That's not a rumor. First he denied it was anything to worry about. Then he said it would magically disappear because "he had a hunch". Then didn't act. Then when he finally did "something", he based Federal help on which states supported him. Then he denied the science. Let's go forward. THEN it comes out that he said he knew it was real and a threat, back at the start, but didn't want to alarm the American people. So he lied about it. None of those events, are rumors. They all happened. They are all facts, not fake news.

[Jjpayne]

I personally, am so confused from both sides, that's why I gave up on it, especially from this election, it just gets so confusing especially when you have different people telling you different things... I'd rather avoid it,, to avoid the confusion

[loveslongnails]

It's rather quite simple... Trump is lying, as he always does. Trump is claiming there was "widespread fraud and illegal voting", yet has no proof or evidence. He has gone to court in many states, and brought many lawsuits. Every single one has been dismissed for lack of evidence and failure to show cause. Because he's a narcissist, he's become even more unhinged than ever because he can't accept that he lost.

Biden won the election, he also has won every re-count. Each individual state certifies their own votes. Trump has tried to halt those certifications, the courts have thrown out every attempt. The states will all be certified by December 8th. Then we have what is called the "Electoral College", where representatives from each state are bound by oath to cast each states allotment of votes in the name of the person they represent. That vote officially happens on January 6th, and the new President is inaugurated on January 20th.

It will be a joyous day when Trump and his band of criminal associates are gone from the White House.

[supercutebutt]

@loveslongnails Yup. It's so obvious, I think the obviousness of it somehow makes people confused. Seriously. Trump is like a cartoon character specifically created to be comically awful he is that OBVIOSLY bad.

[loveslongnails]

I wish it were merely comical, but 70 + million people voted for him, and I would estimate that at least half of them actually believe what he says and are hard core, brain washed cultists, and the other half just didn't want Biden. The good news is 80 million people said no to Trump for any reason at all.

[Jersey2]

Nope. People did what they wanted to and many got infected. I already know someone who was infected at Thanksgiving.

[nodnol32]

The statistics on worldometre will answer your question. I do sense a lot of sarcasm when it comes to your question.

[QuietRunner]

I know it was about the same with the Great H1N1 Pandemic of 2009

or even the Great H3N2 Pandemic of 1969

even before that 1957 H2N2 Grand Pandemic

[Static_In_The_Attic]

This cat is already out of the bag worldwide & somethings are out of our hands when it comes to control. Some call it a pandemic & some call it a plandemic & something tells me they don’t want to control this virus & have a bigger plan in mind.

[supercutebutt]

Ah yes, the conspiracy weirdo. You people are becoming WAY too common. It was cute when there were 1 or 2 of you going around posting your fever dreams. Now you are so ubiquitous that it is booooorrrrriiiiing!!! lol.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Why thank you!

[pigoat]

I voted yes because trump

And i am in the minority

[joeldalton]

A virus isn't' something you can control. Otherwise, we'd never get the flu. Even Hawaii hasn't done a great job and they're an isolated chain of viruses. The lesson is viruses are gonna do what viruses are gonna do.

[supercutebutt]

So Australia didn't control it? Fake news?

[joeldalton]

You don't think there's any difference between an island with the population of California and continental countries that are much more densely populated? I don't know what to tell you, then.

[supercutebutt]

LOL!!! You just said Hawaii struggles to contain it because viruses "do what they do." Hahaha. You are a doofus.

[Twalli]

We have the highest rate of new cases in the world and more deaths from it than any other country.

[supercutebutt]

yup.

[loveslongnails]

Awesome in the sense that its been a colossal fuck up? Well, then yeah.

[legalboxers]

like a blind man without a cane walking around

[Static_In_The_Attic]

I see said the blind man as he picked up his hammer & saw.

[legalboxers]

@Static_In_The_Attic You win the comment of the hour!!

[tartaarsaus]

It did a pretty poor job.

[jshm2]

Whoooohhhhhhooooooo You Ess Eh?

[TonyV]

I couldn't care less

[supercutebutt]

You aren't American?

[TonyV]

I am, I just dont care.

Some say we didn't mandate enough restrictions.

But even the rule restrictions we put in place dumb people ignore.

I saw an old man not wearing a mask while I was, like "hey old man, you're the one that is at risk to catching and dieing from this" I'm not at risk but I play along so it bothers me to see the people at risk not care.

But really I dont care, we haven't lost many and as far as I know it was all the stubborn old fools refusing to mask up

[TonyV]

Hell any young kid I see in the store isn't wearing a mask.

The governors handled it poorly, but even as poor as they did people proof to be worse.

[supercutebutt]

Also, we have a clowny prez who encourages large gatherings and teases people who wear masks.

[pizzalovershouse]

can't say im not a hoax im a real person

[msc545]

Absolutely NOT!!

[Tonythecreator]

No? Horrible

[gandolph3]

no leadership
