Those other countries aren't making stupid statements in the middle of a pandemic and providing a high quality level of comical entertainment... The United States is providing the information and the evidence of what not to do right now... And the world needs to take note of those lessons and not emulate their same responses now or in the future.

Yes those other countries that stuffed up deserve criticism as well... And need to be called out and acknowledged. - The thing about hindsight is that, the world should have used it to be better prepared for the Coronavirus as this isn't the first virus that threatened the modern world, but it seems only a few countries took lessons from the Swine Flu and Bird Flu.

I don't appreciate that you didn't aknowledge my response to your insults. Instead you're still riding your moral high horse and letting everyone know what a life saver you are. So let me tell you things I've dealt with during my 13 years on duty.. it's domestic violence and violence in general, abused childer, people suffering from poverty, mental illness, alcholism and addictions, deaths, homicides, fatal accidents, suicides and stuff like that. Then there's the dangerous stuff but it's not relevant to this discussion. Early in my career I had to do some self-searching and build a certain mental barrier to cope with this stuff, even though all these tragedies happened to other people, not me. 

Watching all this stuff makes one raise questions like is all life equal, do some individuals deserve a second, third and fourth chance, what is justice and so on. It doesn't make me an expert or even qualified to make decisions how to deal with global pandemic of course. It doesn't give me a moral high-ground. But it damn right gives me the right to be concerned about economy crisis affecting human lives and bringing even more problems to society, without someone questioning my humanity. 

We should be able to discuss stuff without personal attacks, even if we disagree. 

I appreciate what you have done and what you have gone through, your job is one of the hardest jobs there is, I thank you sincerely
