  1. You're not the only one, we in the UK find it very confusing as well, we are wondering what on earth is going on in the US, especially because in the UK at first, the government didn't want to go into full lock down but pressure from all sides, especially the people forced their hands and many of the public want the measures to be tougher on the lock down. It's crazy seeing the difference is ways of thinking from many Americans and others like in Europe on this but I suspect a lot of that has to be with the system they live in, Europe has a more social system that looks after it's people, the US has a more capitalist system that screws them over every chance they get, throw in the rampant paranoia that set in after 9/11 in the US and you have a disaster in the making which most other modern countries are looking at the US in a very perplexed way and wondering what is going on there, in any case, we have found the real flaws in the US system and that will likely be quite damaging to the US going forward if they do some real changes after this because the system is broken and it's being shown to the world at how broken the US system really is.

  2.  @CherubiJubell  I've lived in both the EU and US, my biggest take is in the US, patriotism and fear of the government seems to get the best of many of Americans, there's rampant paranoia in the system on a lot of things, in the EU, it's very different, yes we mistrust governments, but we don't really fear them, and we're not as paranoid that they are about to enslave us and take our freedoms away lol. Europe also has a much bigger social systems that look after the people a lot more than the US and that builds a lot more trust from governments and the public, in fact we are seeing that as we speak with what is going in the EU and US with this crisis, many Americans seem to think it's an invasion on the people from the government whereas in Europe, we mostly see it as an inconvenience, something we don't like what is going on but we understand, most of us are also well aware of the hard times ahead but then what's the alternative, we just get on with lives and let more people die like some in the US seems to want to do, that's showing the difference from both systems in how they see people and in the case of the US, it doesn't look good from the outside world, in fact it looks shocking how a first world country has come to this.

  3.  Kayla Pounds  True but the numbers are tiny in comparison compared to what's going on in the US, it's like Trump and some US governors want to push a revolution lol. A big part of it for me is the safety net, European countries have a strong safety net that is protecting most workers, Americans are not seeing much support from the government and that is putting a lot of them under pressure to get back to work, developing countries are different in that it's harder for the economy to support the people in the way EU countries are doing, hence why we are seeing such difference views around the world.

  4. Who needs the police to stop that when the virus is likely munching on these idiots lol. My advice to the common sense Americans is to stay well away from any of these clowns and ware face mask and other protective gear in public because it's going to be hard to know who is spreading it with clowns like we saw above not listening to what is going on and they are putting peoples lives at risk and maybe once the dust settles, some criminal charges should be put on many of these, especially the ones that are found out to have the virus because they might of unknowingly killed other people by being so reckless. The law could have a field day with this people if case and death numbers start to shoot up because of this stupidity.
