    the way that question is phrased sounds like US had a chance. They're unwilling to socialise healthcare. If they don't do that they're gonna get gargantuan deaths.

    UK by far fucked it up harder based on their circumstances beforehand.

      Does socialized healthcare matter if you aren't willing to take lockdown measures though? I may have missed something but in the US it doesn't seem like people were talking much about the costs of a covid stay.

      It seems moreso that both the US and UK are neoliberal hell holes that do not know how to take the common good into account, and therefore killed off a significant poor and old population.

      Don’t forget that for a while the Tories were deliberately trying to go for herd immunity. I’m also somewhat suspicious that they pushed the NHS to breaking point for ideological reasons, in order to make a stronger case for privatisation once Covid is “over”.
