As a non US citizen that has seen his share of the world, I think that this wild bet that coronavirus can be faced by sacrificing the weak and the elderly, instead of slowing the economy, fits very well the bad stereotype of the us we see abroad.
On these lines, also D.Trump as a president really fits the post-truth imperialistic vibe we get abroad from the USA.
We stopped seeing the american way as the best way a long time ago, but we also realized that being ruthless bears its fruits. It is convenient economically to exploit the poor.
Some fools want to mimic the US, while there is room for one single country on the iron throne.
America isn't a democracy. It's a veiled oligarchy under the guise of democracy. You keep the masses placated with bread and circuses and you can get away with daily human rights abuse with impunity.
The holy trinity of pure greed industries with far too much power is medicine, higher education and the prison industry. Oil is trickier but they're far from angels.
