Absolutely, I believe government at every level across the United States has been astoundingly incompetent. If there is one lesson to be learned from the pandemic, it's that no one in charge knows what the hell they are doing.

bet they didn't wear masks or practice social distancing while they were busy killing cops and being deplorable in general either

Of course not, because masks are for liberal cucks or something like that. So, even when these guys go criming, they don't go wearing masks.

Agreed. The way educators handled it was...cringe.

No, not all American politicians reacted well, but this does not mean the CCP gets away scot-free, either.

basically this. yes the ccp fucked up, to no one's surprise, but that doesn't mean the us government is free for guilt and responsibility for their gross mishandling of covid.

I guess the one benefit of this rabid hatred of masks the Trumpists have is it probably made a whole bunch of them not cover their faces during the capitol attack, making them much easier to identify and arrest.

Thanks, Trump!

Under other circumstances, under another leadership the US would have gone already to Defcon 3 at the current number of death americans.

Would have been much fewer arrests if people just took pandemic precautions, but nooooooooo...

Just goes to show that adage about stupid people in large groups.
Godulan Puppet #2, RPing as technologically advanced tribal society founded by mongols and vikings (and later with multiple other Asian and Native American cultures) motivated by an intrinsic devotion to the spirit of competition. They'll walk softly, talk softly, and make soothing noises as they stab you in the back and take your stuff... unless you're another Caleshan, whereupon they'll only stab you in the back figuratively!

Used NS stats: Population. That’s it. Anything else not stated in the factbooks is not used.

Intro RP: Gravity Ships and Garden Snips (involved tribes: Plainsrider, Hawkeye, Wavecrasher)
Current RP: A Rock Out of Place (involved tribes: Night Wolf, Deep Kraken, Starwalker)

yes, and their (its ?) culpability should be acknowledged, but i don't really see them being held accountable for it beyond people just saying it's their fault and leaving it at that. it's more productive to look at what the us did wrong and how we can fix/mitigate it.
