America is objectively doing terribly with covid-19. Massive business disruption combined with massive cases. The view from outside america is of widespread mismanagement and systemic failure. It is a death blow to America’s perception as a competent world power to be relied upon.

In this context, negative headlines are hardly surprising.

They’ve had fewer deaths per capita than Italy, UK, France, Sweden and plenty others... not doing great but also in plenty good company.

The US also has much lower population density and Europe had a month+ head start. Give us time.
