Why we can't cope

America is so far from being Number 1 that we are the worst at coping with the coronavirus of all the world's richer countries.

The worst at testing, the worst at limiting contagion, the worst at keeping down deaths, the worst at limiting damage to our economy, the worst at delivering every from of relief except loot for giant corporations and Republican donors, and all for the same reason.

Republicans in office don't want any of this to work, and so they engage in manifold forms of sabotage from deliberate ineptitude to endless delay to refusal to act at all.

And the worst offender is Bozo.
