The Atlantic has an article on just how badly the United States has dropped the ball on testing people for the novel coronavirus compared to other developed countries. We can add this to list along with overall life expectancy, child and maternal mortality, mass incarceration, depression, suicide, drug overdoses, blackouts, traffic delays, educational outcomes, drinking water quality, poverty, and the list goes on. We were great once, in the sense that we were the world’s leader on most or all of these categories. Over the last decade or two, we have not just lost that leadership position, we have fallen to the bottom of the pack and continue to lose ground. True patriots don’t just say their country is great again and hope that makes it true in the face of contrary evidence, they face the facts and do something about it.
