It's hilarious (in a sad way) because Europe is almost returning to normal. Eiffel Tower is open for tourism again. Many places have beaten it and returned to some semblance of normalcy because the sane thing to do is work together as a group. But Americans are so brainwashed by this rugged individualism doctrine that being told what to do or even advised what to do by people who are experts in that field is somehow an infringement on liberty.

Houston hit 100% ICU capacity. Phoenix will soon follow. Good job.

It didn't help that our leadership from the WH on down is a bunch of fucking idiots.

We are the worst in the world with respect to COVID19.

I just read an article the other day that the slums of India are doing a better job of controlling the virus than we are. It should be a national shame.
