The Hospital ship that was rushed to NYC and never used? The huge field hospital that was never used?
How, pray tell, do you come up with your "estimate" of 200K deaths?
People not taking the vaccine was not a "delay" by those in the government.
Australia and New Zealand are ISLANDS, which could easily control who came in and out...
Your comparisons are invalid...

My estimate of 200k deaths (while probably low) comes from MY OPINION that at least 200K deaths were recorded BEFORE I saw much US determined action (before the vaccine) to shut down unnecessary indoor activities, which was the primary cause of increased Covid spread. I remember the images shown on TV about the great distance that human sneezing traveled. That was the warning before the vaccines were developed. The US did NOT have the experience and knowledge about Pandemics that countries like Japan and New Zealand developed the hard way. The only tool for prevention early on was to avoid large indoor groups - and the US was slow to accomplish that. That was about the time here in The Villages when many people were having meals delivered. But The Villages reacted quicker and better than the average community in the US.
