the USA has gotten enough credit yet for all that we've shared...but we can't ever stop and rest on our laurels. This pandemic is devastating other parts of the planet, and will continue to for quite awhile.
A transactional mindset still exists, however, in the face of a biological catastrophe (witness India)...also, given the nature of viruses, it would be in our own interest to beat this "forest fire" back asap so that the odds of a worse variant don't mount too high.
Pardon me for falling back on the quote from Dag Hammarskjold..."For it is always the stronger one who is to blame"...the rest of the world is watching us.
