Covid and the USA
An Australian journalist just returned from the USA wrote an opinion piece on the ABC web site. He wrote:"I love America. I really do.
For all its flaws (and there are many), it is still one of the greatest countries in the world.
What happens in America usually doesn't stay in America, given the tremendous global influence the nation exerts in almost every field, ranging from science and technology to arts and entertainment.
As someone who lived there for four years, and has returned regularly, I admire America's sense of national pride and the seemingly indestructible optimism of its people.
So, America, I say this as a friend. One of your best.
Take the virus seriously. Please!
In my nearly three weeks on the ground in the US covering the election, I got the impression way too many Americans were far too relaxed about COVID-19 and the massive public health tsunami about to wash across the country."
The article discusses the way the virus is now spreading exponentially through the USA
Well worth a read from someone who was only there briefly covering the election but was really concerned about the way the disease is being handled there and the way it is surging.
