There is alarming evidence flowing in showing scientifically that the U.S. citizenry may be the stupidest on the planet. This study is a multi-year design and in early phases, but preliminary research shows 'dumbassness" is hightly prevalent among the population.
The research was instituted by the Sino F.U. Academy in a secretive foreign nation. The basic scope of exercise was to release a contagion internationally to see whom would fuckupeth most in trying to control it.
The U.S. leads with over 1,000,000 cases. The government threw $6 trillion dollars at the pesky germs, but early signs show they missed the microorganisms. Maybe if they had thrown the 6 trillion bucks individually instead of thru a few digital swipes they may have had more luck?
Drs and Nurses wearing garbage bags and hello kitty scarves on their mouths for some reason had trouble containing it. Oh wait, they have no drugs and no tests and no clue what they are up against. Oh darn it all.
But no matter, some smartie-smart people said "let's just wait it out for a month". After 8.5 days rednecks were tired of playing online poker and took to the streets demanding their freedom to die and make others dead too. Well, it's the economy stupid!, we've got to do something! And they will, and twice as many people will die in June, oh well.
Research shows there is no easy answer, but asshole leader who won't be mentioned (trump) has even surprised seasoned researches in sino f.u. land. But it's really mostly just bad luck. Unfortunately it wasn't a shoevirus, b/c if it had been the U.S. has been studying best ways to remove shoes at airports for years!, so it would have stopped any shoevirus in its tracks! (excuse the pun... in its tracks, haha)! but unfortunately the threat to the nation is not exploding shoes or shoeviruses... and we thought we were really on the right track with that one. oh darny darn !!
keep throwing money and stupidity at the virus U.S., you'll get it right one of these years , for sure
.... 
peace and good luck out there, psshh
