I think the USA and Brazil will have to go into a solid 30 day lock down
i highly doubt usa republican politicians will do another lock down(im about 94% sure of that)
party wise and whos holding the reins i don't think the republican politicians have the political voter support of their members
and ... any white house staff that suggest such a thing is likely to be sacked. that seems quite obvious.
the democrats might
the republicans have politicized the pandemic
that act alone has probably cost tens of thousands of lives
but they dont care about those people because they are neither rich or party officials with voting influence
the business influence is much stronger and they are quite happy if a few million die as long as they get their businesses up & making profit again.
simple facts
but keeping in mind that will continue to circulate the virus actively in large enough communities to allow re-infection back into those democratic runs states.
and the economy they are so desperately attempting to salvage will go down the toilet due to the lateness of going into lock down.
the cowards punch to the economy
all those businesses who used capital to re start will have it thrown on the bonfire along with their books
... but thats the american capitalist model
if your a small business then you get no protections
if your a big busines you dictate policy & can write your own cheques from the tax payers never ending expense account at the cost of the working class health & education.
hence why hospitals were closed
because they had no PPE to cover their insurance requirement to carry out medical procedures
because it all came from china
not to mention that china provide all the base raw materials for the majority of American medication.
(pill production of base raw pill clay compounds & mixing production factorys which make basic pills and compound pills)
its all Chinese owned
a bit of a political catastrophe you would think but that was neatly covered up
no republican demands for the republican leadership to build American pharmaceutical chemical production plants
no law suites against private insurers or hospitals for failing to provide PPE which prevented customers from getting their operations and causing untold cost & suffering.
you would think it wold be a political landslide to the democrats
but no
USA failed economic leadership and failed international trading ability have maintained the entire country to be held ransom to the political games of the elite
maybe they can create a toilet paper stock market
Brazil is just a real life nightmare.
it looks like maybe 600% higher death rate than reported at least
i think the Brazil leadership think they will be the last men standing and have all the money power & land when all the poor masses die off.
that is what it looks like they are doing by what is in the media
UK look like they are more interested in pretending it has gone away to service their elitist business owners
it clearly is too soon for them to open back up because they have soo much of the virus in their population still circulating in outlier areas
if they installed regional quarantine boundaries with the military like road blocks that might be a good partial solution to prevent large scale re infection into large population bases
as an alternative to opening up to soon as they seem to be.
do us health insurance companys own hospitals ?
considering the massive amount of money they have made off the back of the pandemic they should be ordered to build some hospitals
& pill manufacturing plants
but thats not user pays capitalism even if it does make economic sense
