Yes, I get we are different culturally than Germany, but even given that, if the U.S. had a national plan and all elected governments took the virus seriously from the beginning, I fully believe our citizens would have largely bought in and followed directions. We’d have our epidemic under control too. Maybe the scale of our COVID-19 Epidemic and the damage it causes becomes for the U.S. what WWII was for Germany in terms of never wanting to experience such a catastrophe again, and changing to make sure we don’t.

Agreed. Well said.
