"We're short of equipment: how does this happen in the richest country on earth?" It's rich because it does not spend money on its poor.

@brians7181 This has nothing to do with pandemics, it has to do with how a government spends the money it gets from the poor. In America's case, it doesn't spend it on the health of the poor. Nothing to do with the Pandemic. Trump warned you before the election, but then did nothing, in fact, made things worse once he was in office? that makes the whole thing ten times worse.

@brians7181 A bit presumptuous about our relative class status, aren't we? The bottom 50%, compared to their outgoings needed to live pay a much higher tax. In absolute values, the higher classes pay more, but they need it far less; they pay out of their spare money, whereas the poor pay out of their survival money. The government don't waste 80%. They steal it through corruption. That's why trump has such a huge deficit - people in your class bracket are raking it in under Trump.
