I was comparing the US to other 1st world countries. They started taking it seriously right away - we did not. They have already slowed it down to just a slight nuisance - with us it is a raging inferno. The US loses more people to CV in an hour than Canada does in a week (on a per capita basis). I hope it is NOT a "too little. too late " situation, but it is possible and unnecessary. The range of predictions for US deaths is as high as 700,000 for 2021 - even with the vaccines. I can NOT be optimistic when the US has ALREADY failed. You do not get a vaccine that can bring BACK lives. So, it is logical to be pessimistic!
