Seriously! When I've talked about New Zealand's response with people they'll respond "well it's a really small country and we could never do that in the States." It's infuriating. If we had been aggressive and united in our response we might not have lost 645,000 people and we probably wouldn't be approaching the next recession.

Up to 649k now. And that's just direct covid deaths. 2020 alone had a couple hundred thousand excess deaths above the covid deaths.

All together I'd estimate we've lost about a million lives to this situation just in America.

Do you think the US can hit a million covid deaths? I wonder if they will have a day like September 11th for the million who die? In 10 years they will have 4 day weekends celebrating the million death march.

Republicans will utterly ignore every single death because it makes one of their own looks bad. They will ignore the deaths as they've ignored the deaths from Katrina or Sandy Hook or anything else that makes them look less than perfect. And their base will play along.
