And some places like the US didnt even get through the first wave.... before giveing up.
Meanwhile 1,000+ deaths pr day, and that number will only climb upwards.

A month or two from now, the US will be at 200k+ deaths, from this "flu".

These protests, will prolong the suffering due to covid19.

Ultimately the US only has itself to blame for the loss of life and the current situation.

As they say... You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.

There was nothing really big US could do. even if 100% of people stayed home, still you would get a huge number of infections and people dying.

Of course several governors and the president not supporting lockdown just made things worse, but based on what we can read from other countries, there is not much you can do except prepare to have the least number of deaths. Still death per 1M in US is half of several other european countries affected. Could this be less? Definitely, but I cant imagine it being less than 50% of what it is right now, if the number of deaths in US is correct.

The protests now though will impact people a lot in US specially poor people.
