The US is doing very badly, but in my view, it is not doing worse than, say, Belgium or Peru... yet. In fact, it has maybe built up enough cases that it will be slightly worse off than the UK, having started its second wave about three weeks after. But the UK is comparable so far.
The thing that is sad is that the US has far the most expensive health care system in the world and so it should be doing at least as well as Germany and countries like that. But it hasn't.
And the US Federal Government has done poorly on the vaccine front.
So it will end up with a bottom ten performance for national response. So pathetic, but probably safe from a legal perspective.
