I don't know... My take is that the stupidity of extremely polarised politics that exists in the US will reach a point where it self destructs within the next 50 years.
In a lot of countries, people listened to the experts. They accepted the lock down. They wore the masks. Almost everyone that didn't have a medical reason not to, got vaccinated.
If you think only the Americans have highly polarized politics and fucked up during COVID, I have a bridge to sell to you…
I don't.
That's why I wrote "in a lot of countries", and not "in all other countries". And, even though the former is a subset of the latter, and thus not technically invalidating the premise of your supposition, it's still a far fetched one.
In a lot of countries they also don't though. Especially fast developing countries that have first world countries pouring tons of money in like Africa.
