This article is placing way too much weight on Covid changing the world. It will accelerate some trends, sure, but it's not a seminal change.<p>100k or 200 or 300 sounds like a lot of people but when a normal year sees 3 million dead it's barely a blip. Especially since many of those dying were likely to die within a couple of years anyway.<p>The US has not done worse compared to the rest of the west. Our deaths per capita are in line with France, Italy, Spain, and the UK. Germany is the only outlier.<p>This sentiment is entirely because of the dislkke of Trump. I don't like him either and think he sucks, but he's not ruining the country. The US will survive him and continue to be the strongest nation in the world.
Good grief, what a whiner.<p>We're half a year into covid, I personally know a handful of people who have had it and they are all recovered. Business is mostly moving forward, the stock market is fine, and there is no shortage of food, medicine, toilet paper, etc.<p>Vaccines are on the way. Every day brings us closer.<p>This is not a nation toppler.
