American culture allowed the virus to take hold in the US, catapulting the US to the number two position in COVID19 deaths, behind Italy. The US is set to overtake Italy by the end of the Easter weekend.
Why do you blame American culture instead of the fact the US has 5x the population of Italy? (325 million vs. 60 million)
Deaths per million for Italy is 302. For the US it is only 50. Is Trump to blame for Italy's higher numbers? Or for Spain's at 339? Or France's at 187? It's not cases per million, so please don't claim it's due to a lack of testing.
Also, before you say the U.S. just got hit later, they have leveled off in deaths the last few days - which makes sense since it lags the leveling off of new cases by a few days. (~30k new cases per day for the last week; 2k deaths per day for the last 3 days.)
Perhaps the U.S. - despite all of the negative press around its response - is doing a better job than a lot of other countries. Was it a perfect response? No, it wasn't. However, it definitely isn't the worst response in the world.
