Liberal Librarian: The Coronavirus election
https://establishmentbar.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-coronavirus-election.htmlIf there's one thing Americans hate is thinking that they're worse at something than any other country. No matter how many statistics you show them that we're not, in fact, #1 in many indices, they still hold on to that nationalist chauvinism that we're God's Country. And, to be fair, most people's eyes glaze over dry statistics. But have the nightly news lead every evening with death and infection totals, and a government both unwilling and unable to take steps to stop the carnage, and you're setting up an untenable situation.
