I'm coming in from across the world from you, where I live in a small country and what I saw and still see is that no one disobeyed the government's call to get vaccinated. You got your time and day and went and got the shots. School kids got vaccinated at schools when they re-opened. Masks were and still are required and no one is complaining to any degree. What am I saying here? When you get everyone on the same page, you can limit the damage. In neighboring France, the radio announces every day that if people need assistance in any way: food, money, accomodation, therapy you to call this number. In America the polarized political system meant that when your President laid out the planning, immediately there was resistence and then the millions who refused to get vaccinated. I have American friends who still are not vaccinated. They took it as an afront on their freedom and of course they have a point. But the way I see it is if from the get go, everyone just did as they were told and went down to the vaccination centers and got the jabs and the booster, a lot of pain and certainly a lot of deaths could have been prevented. When you have such a divided nation and with so many people unwilling or unable to follow instructions from the top officials and medical experts, it translates out to be what the caller said and what Sam said that a lot of people got the short end of the stick and suffered needlessly. In Britain, no one lost their jobs, the government paid employers the money they needed to pay employees until the pandemic passed. Why on Earth didn't the American government do the same? It would mean that today, every single business would still be operating and every single employee getting a pay check and when it was safe to return to work, everyone had a job and a company to go to. The British model made complete sense to me, and I think it would have cost the same as sending out one-off stimulus checks to people who had lost everything. But you see, there were so many ways to deal with this thing and your government officials did everything they thought was right to get through it. It was Murphy's Law all over again to have the most unqualified person ever elected in The White House when the pandemic hit. Imagine: Trump's first or second act when he became president was to put the Department of Pandemics in mothballs. What could have possibly been the motive to do that? Well, we know don't we; he didn't have a clue what it meant to be President. America paid a heavy price for his stupidity; but the upside is that American's have had to tough it through some pretty rough times, and you're still on your feet. You'll get through this. Now, you have to get behind your President and be a united country again.
