The US, Brazil, and South Africa are a world apart. We have needlessly and horribly botched the pandemic. The world as a whole had 207,752 new case today and 26.6 new cases per one million people. Texas and Florida and, I’m sorry to say, my home state of California are unique shitholes.
And for anyone crazy enough to claim the US is doing a good job, point them to Europe. That is what a good job managing a pandemic looks like.
