Because your description isn’t really true.

Is this Cuomo's fault, or are you claiming that because some other countries failed, that the USA being one of the worst in it's class despite being historically the most prepared and proactive is acceptable to you?

Just to show how much of an outlier the US is from better performing rich, developed countries, here are covid deaths per million people (adjusted for population) since the pandemic began:

Japan: 21
Australia: 35
South Korea: 12
Norway: 74
New Zealand: 5
Taiwan: 0.3

US: 948

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

CA 278 #1
TX 262
PA 229
Il 221
NY 121
FL 108
NJ 51
GA 38
SC 29

new york , mass and nj are on the upswing...california is worse than most countries...probably even worse than Norway

RI had a good number yesterday!...of course the state testing facilities were closed the day before due to snow storm but our idiot governor spun that into success for her brilliant strategizing...she's a piece of work
