While the pandemic has put immense stress on nearly every country's health care system, no country — and certainly no other high-income country — has suffered the way the United States has. Americans make up less than 5% of the global population, but account for nearly one in five of the world's 2.3 million deaths. All the more astounding is that as the richest, most powerful country in the world, its overwhelming resources did nothing to help absorb the shock of an event like this.
yeah I agree it is kinda alarmist. Nuclear war doesn't make much sense. I am thinking if the empire starts crumbling we might get some evangelical loon governor who feels like bringing about the apocalypse. Probably not very likely (but then again it seems we have been very close to it during the cold war).

I mean, I wouldn't rule it out. It's not like this is a wholly rational system we're dealing with.
