I see what you’re doing here. You’re claiming this is a success story.
What happened to American exceptionalism? American competence and leadership around the globe?
We had a six to eight week lead time knowing what S. Korea and parts of Europe were going through was heading for our shores.
Closing in on 150,000 deaths is not a success story and neither is the death rate the only meaningful measure of success. Ask the folks that have lingering health issues effecting their quality of life if that’s not meaningful.
You may be willing to accept American incompetence or mediocrity but I am not.
