What Does America’s Coronavirus Response Look Like Abroad? | NYT Opinion

The United States leads the world in Covid-19 deaths, nearing 150,000 lost lives. The unemployment figures brought on by the pandemic are mind-boggling. The Trump administration’s slow and haphazard response has been widely criticized. But what does it look like to young people around the world, whose governments moved quickly and aggressively to contain the coronavirus?
We wanted to know, so we reached out to quite a few and showed them charts, facts, photos and videos illustrating the U.S. response. Spoiler: They were not impressed.
Many advanced economies, from Germany to Singapore, directly supplemented salaries to save jobs. Other nations with fewer resources started mass testing at the first sign of an outbreak. Many countries mandated universal lockdowns - and successfully flattened the curve. In some parts of Europe, you could be fined for straying too far from your home. And Vietnam, a nation of 95 million people, has not seen a single Covid-19 death.
This Opinion video is a follow-up to a popular video we produced last year, which asked young Europeans to respond to American policies such as health care and parental leave. Many comments suggested we produce a sequel. Well, here it is - the Covid-19 edition.

As Trump sees his poll numbers beginning to suggest that he has no path to victory in November .. short of martial law, theft, voter suppression, etc. ... he grows steadily more desperate and dysfunctional. I believe that the answer lies in a wholesale restructuring of our political system that would end political contributions from anyone who does not live in the district in which a candidate is running. No more PACS, Corporative contributions, etc. Make our politicians accountable to their future/present human constituents, and let's see what kind of government we can create. And construct/mandate an electoral system in which public servants come to believe that their tenure in office depends upon our opinion of the job they're doing. Make them believe that our well being, and their career, are inextricably entwined. In short, make it clear that we want nothing less than Representative Democracy.

So, I don't know if Biden could do as well as Obama did.

I spoke to a friend from the Netherlands and his mind is blown at how poorly we are handling this whole thing.

[@SantaWithGuns]

Some of us ARE doing our best to stop/slow the spread. It's just that those anti-maskers also have the loudest voices, and ignorance is also spread with it. People who couldn't pass a basic biology test, now claim to know more than scientists. Most of their "research" however, is memes and image macros with big words sprinkled in their to appear smart.

[@annalabella5028]

I have been going to stores looking for face shields for me and my sister. Flu season is coming and masks are not enough.

[@Maatkara1000]

@Rohan Grin no it is not. Masks do NOT stop the virus from entering you, they stop your viruses from coming out. If you are wearing a mask but the other person doesn't, you are still getting infected. Wearing the mask has to be done by everyone. Think about the one person you see. If that was the only person not wearing mask, which wouldn't be that bad, what are the chances of you seeing him in the exact same shop you buy from at that exact same time? Very few. For you to encounter a person without a mask every time you go to town, there has to be enough people not wearing masks for the probabiblities to work the way they are doing. Now, think of all the negationists in America. Think about how an infected negationist spreads the virus to, let's say, 20 people around him. What are the chances of all those 20 to not meet anyone while not wearing a mask for the next month? Very few. Each of those 20 will spread thr virus to some other 5 people (that is, if each of those 20 wears a mask religiously), and those 5 to some other 5 each (again, if they wear masks). Do you see how the virus moves? In just three steps, 500 people have gotten infected. Knowing this, calculate what are the chances of someone around you getting infected, and multiply that by 10 for every maskless person you AND they encounter. See where I am going?

[@Maatkara1000]

@Rohan Grin you will say that too when the ones dying after weeks of struggling in a hospital are your friends and loved ones, right? 😊

[@Maatkara1000]

@Rohan Grin ... yeah, you have literally no idea of how this virus works. For the sake of your family and of everyone, wear your masks and follow the protocols, and pray for never having to find out how the virus really works

@Random Traveler There are 328 million people in the USA. If every person gets it, and 98% survive, that's still 6,560,000 DEAD. Is 6.5 million people dying acceptable to you? We need to get this crap under control!

[@shawncarroll5255]

@Random Traveler 2% now, 0.5% next, maybe 1% for the next SARS-Coronavirus outbreak courtesy of Chinese wet markets - you're talking real deaths, here (to misquote). People start to react more like Europe of the Middle Ages. BTW just in case I'm not being clear, that will NOT result in positive behavioral changes for the economy. The only good news is give us 10-15 years from now, a bunch of really bright kids who lost loved ones to COVID-19, and see Dr. Fauci as a role model, might actually help save the world from a nasty pandemic like SARS or MERS almost became. SARS would have created a small pox level world recession, and MERS would have been a Bubonic Plague level event, taking generations to recover. SARS came one hotel in Toronto, two index cases, and less then 24 hours of getting lose via airline transmission. Contact Tracing just BARELY worked, read up on it, and it's 10 times deadlier then COVID-19.
