I just looked it up: Denmark has 5.6M citizens, the US about 330M - a ratio of 1:59. Denmark's 2616 Covid deaths would equal 154K deaths in the US, but instead the US has 664K deaths, 4.3 times the deaths pr. capita compared to Denmark, with no end in sight! The US has 41M cases (and counting), while Denmark has 0.354M cases, only half of the US pr. capita case rate. It seems obvious that the US's response to Covid has been rather dismal.

@annefischer1433 , the "Denmark's 2616 Covid deaths" is literal - perhaps i should have used 2,616 notation, or two-thousand-six-hundred-and-sixteen, the number of Covid deaths in Denmark as recorded this morning by Johns Hopkins University data. I find the very common "US is not like other nations" excuse to be absolutely ridiculous: The citizens of the United States of America have repeatedly shown that there is nothing you cannot do once you are motivated! The welfare systems in Northern Europe are to a great extent based on what we learned from Roosevelt's America during and after WW2. You, on the other hand, seem to have been derailed, beginning with Ronald bloody Reagan. I am convinced that the US could take e.g. the Nordic model to scale and leave Europe in the dust - if only you could rid yourself of the blatant bought-and-paid-for political corruption that has been crippling you for too long.
