But you're right, the Federal response to the virus in the U.S. has been abysmal, and we're advancing up the charts (our number was 40.7 when I posted two days ago, Sweden's was 54.0).
The States direct their own response to the pandemic. For instance, the 4 states with the highest death rates in the world NY, NJ, CT and MA all decided to force covid 19 positives into nursing homes. Federal government had nothing to do with it.

We have what's called a Republic.
