Don't be an asshole. That is just the stupidest thing to say, ever. I'd rather have this virus threat 10X over than another WWIII thing again. Holy shit have you lived, ever, through anything as serious as this?

Been around the world and iiii can’t find my baby.
But you can continue to put words in my mouth if that makes you feel better.
I did not put any words in your mouth. The post history of yours all can be summarized as follows, according to my understanding and logical reasoning: "we as America must decide between a system that we currently have, unchecked capitalism, or we need to choose socialism, Venezuela style."
It does not seem to be plausible to you that you can mix and match and end up with an entirely different system, a system for example, that beats the US on almost every metric/variable that society would attach value to. In fact, you could retain the precious values that make America so great, such as the entrepreneurial spirit and willingness to play and experiment with ideas. You would end up with a far superior American society and system that would work way better for vastly more people of the population.

Yes this is a very realistic situation that you described.
Just take a little bit of the best of the rest of the world and just implement it into the heterogeneous, multi racial, multicultural society that is America.
Hope springs eternal.
I never said America was the only good country...overall, though, and historically, there is none better.
ET trolls just dumb as hell. What do you expect? President Donald Trump is allowing the Chinese to save face. Recent evidence from Chinese citizens themselves claiming urns containing their relatives remains in the thousands. Estimates are the actual deaths are 3,300 (official version) x 12 = 39,600. Incinerators were being run non-stop 24/7 in Wuhan, China from Chinese citizens themselves. No different from the ET troll talking points of the US having the most infections? The more you people you test, the more positive cases. Yet, they do not talk about the actual death rates? US infections 245,080, deaths 6,075, 2.48%, Italy infections 115,242, deaths 10,348, 12.07%, Spain infections 112,065, deaths 10,348 9.23%, France infections 59,105, deaths 5,387, 9.11%, UK infections 33,718, deaths 2,921, 8.66%, Netherlands infections 14,697, deaths 1,339, 9.11%, Belgium infections 15,348, deaths 1,011, 6.59%, Germany infections 84,794, deaths 1,107, 1.31%. Now, each death is precious but, ET trolls ignore that more Europeans have died of Corona Virus despite, their lies of President Donald Trump not acting soon enough and not doing enough? Just add up the dead Europeans for all their so called preparedness and acting sooner? What about the comparisons with China with their bogus figures?
Sure on well chosen individual metricies, yes. But I can name other metricies where the US has historically been the underdog since its foundation. Healthcare and welfare and protection for the hard working who, unfortunately, suffered severe setbacks in life that were not of their own making. A society that was from the ground up designed to protect and enrich the upper class and gave very few opportunities to newcomers and the ones on the bottom (especially in the past 2-3 decades). Aggression towards others/regimes that the US deemed incompatible with its own beliefs (God Syndrom)...
But at least we could find some limited agreement here which I definitely welcome.
