It is sad that the right in the US is so obsessed with the economy that they are willing to let the virus spread like wildfire for the economy.

... which in turn hurts the economy again.

In my country (and most other European countries) taking corona seriously is not a left/right thing. The left/right parties have different ideas on the specifics, but the different factions of the parliament have been cooperating exceptionally well. Throughout March/April there was an unspoken agreement in politics to tone the usual shit flinging down a bit, even now it's still not as bad as it would be in a normal year.

America is so fucked.

It honestly isn't as much a partisan issue as much as a combination of boomers being stubborn and democrats trying to burn the country down. The state of New York did an appalling job containing the virus from nursing homes and had orders from on high to continue shuffling people in and out of hospice care all courtesy of Cuomo (democrat) and De Blasio (also democrat) despite the danger of doing so. The virus essentially burned through New York and who knows how many people were infected.

Obviously CNN gave an okay for BLM and other "protestors" to rally and gather which further spread the virus not to mention the complete disregard for PPE among journalists and (D) politicians who only do so for the camera.

In short, the American left is only using COVID as a battering ram to get Trump out of office and have been just as bad, if not worse in the case of the BLM riots, as the braindead boomers demanding maskless Walmart.

That's an interesting perspective, thanks. I'm a bit sceptical crowded BLM protests too, surely there are other ways to protest?
