U.S.A.....making it great again

I have heard it said that the U.S.A. was a great country and in the process of being great again. Maybe it is. dunno

I don't like talking politics, and maybe I am just missing something here...which happens a lot with me.

But, we are suppose to have the best medical care in the world. Heck, that is what justifies why we pay a fortune for it. "You pay so much because you have the best healthcare system in the world"....I have often heard it said.

Then why are we leading the world with the most reported cases of Covid? The countries that are in second and third place behind us....I believe have already hit their apex. We...on the other hand...the professionals have no clue when we will hit our apex. In other words, the growth of this virus if far from finished here, and how many more future cases are unable to be predicted.


Why is this... with the "best healthcare system in and the world" Why?


Is it lies?
Is it incompetence?


Just something that baffles me I guess.


Something does not add up here.

Either other countries are under reporting.
Either we are over reporting.
Or....we were very ill prepared...and arrogant perhaps? dunno

In any case, I have heard it said, that when the worse happens...it will bring out the true character of others. With political affiliation set aside for a second here....lets hope as a semi-intelligent group of people living in this great country...lets hope we can pinpoint, when we vote for putting leaders in place, that have control over our lives, we vote the right people (competent) in place. I don't care if they are Democrat or Republican....male or female.

Happy Friday...Stay safe and healthy all.

Who said it?
Johnny, I was a little surprised a few days back when one of the papers here was discussing the fact we in Spain don't have as many hospital beds peer head of population as Germany, it then went on to say but we do have more than the UK and the USA uh oh wow
Molly, maybe you have not heard it...but I know I have heard it here many times.wave


Z....it is just unbelievable that we have the top level of reported cases....maybe there are a lot of other unreported cases in the world; therefore, under reporting. dunno

I don't know...really, I don't. It just baffles me with the numbers that are being put across my tv screen and we are suppose to be a great country..."again." If you use somebody's own words.
.ooops. Z wave
You can come to my country, we will be glad to help you USA. when falls start we stand togheter

Overcommand Norway
when last commands fails
Last solution


Go to bed now ! laugh
Since I have only been to 3 countries (and not seen ALL of any country),
I am unqualified to make the judgement as to which is the best country.
I certainly like some things about the USA and dislike some other things.
I'm guessing that every country has room for improvement.
This one definitely does. For instance, adoption of a universal health plan
that insured everyone who needs it would be a great improvement. That's clear.
Changing the presidential election to a simple majority would yield better results
as evidenced not only by the last presidential election, but also the next to last time the loser won the election, George W. Bush.
Thanks Pom. wave


Will be going to sleep soon, nothing much else I can do at the moment.
John, there is no one 'best' country.
Different countries do some things better than others.
Scandinavian countries generally top the charts as the best countries to live in overall though, for overall standard of living.
Johhny, don't forget you have a big country, your numbers are always going to be higher than us and places like Italy.
Jim, I love my country too. And you are right, there is room for improvement with everyone of them on this planet. I guess the point of this blog is, if this is a lack of competence in our leadership...lets as civilians of this wonderful country recognize that and hopefully not repeat the same error twice.

Thank you Molly for that clarification. thumbs up

It would be nice of the whole globe was a "best" for everyone living on it....instead of the top one tenth of one percent.

thumbs up
Z....that is true also. I know China has a huge population and the way it sounds things are under control there. But maybe not. dunno


I just know, through the years, there have been shows that have covered things like thing...posing scenarios where a virus spreads across the globe. It would have been nice for countries to have been prepared for something like this ahead of time.....it seems like it should have been a given, especially with the outbreaks in the past few years.dunno
I think the lack of universal healthcare in any country drops it significantly in the ratings.
I know I hear it said on the news, this is a learning experience.

and that is wonderful.


But...I have also heard it said on another show, that this "might be the big one."

....so....

is there ever a time where it is too late to learn.

dunno

I really don't know....just wondering is all.
I muste have a sup for Ireland and Spain their our side have you heard about baccalao or the irish hearthvarme ?professor
I agree with that Molly.


I don't follow politics all that close...but from my understanding, the reason why we didn't have a universal healthcare system is that it would take away incentive for competition with offering top notch care.


Well....
Pom, I have never heard of those.
What is a hearthvarme? dunno
Johnny, there has to be a happy medium.
Yes Cork ! i live "on" not in the toilet myself so its not bad to live in scandinavian countries... i would have like to go to Ireland on what ever means there is in mine options like a moped... heck its father than italy to svalbard than to get on a ferry to Ireland
I consider the whole this nothing but political especially why all this took place during election year.How convenient.dunno
Pom, I guess it is better to live on rather than in a toilet, if that is your residence of choice.
Molly...yes. Hopefully this is an eye opener and we do have the luxury of learning from it.
Pom...I have heard a lot of beautiful things about your country. Maybe I should change the title of this blog...I guess I didn't mean it to demean other countries.
M - perhaps he meant it is......heart warming ??? dunno or maybe it has to do with heart worms. laugh
But in the meantime, poor people will be more likely to die than rich people sigh
Jim, I'm totally lost laugh

I was a little surprised to hear the panic in America already ...
how will the poor and not so rich figure out?
He also said, with people in a fearful state of mind, they are much easier to control.
Pom, are you offering me an all-inclusive holiday sharing your toilet? heart wings
Johnny,

I get the gist of what you're saying on your blog.
It's kind of like the ole saying "We can put a man on the moon, but we still can't find a cure for cancer."

Throughout the world, not only the USA, there is soo much technology, medical and other. Yet, here we are with a virus, no one on earth seems to know how to cure?

They've got robots. Not long ago, we got 4K TV's, 5G wireless band, and already 8K TV and 10G are ready and waiting in the wings.

They can do many heart surgeries without opening the chest. They can clone animals, and people soon too, if not already. They can take DNA from a dead pet and give it rebirth to look like that same pet.

They had a cure for the common cold, but they stashed it away or something happened to it.
They had alternate fuels for cars, but the oil companies made sure that didn't reach mainstream.
They had alternate energy sources, but they got stashed away.
Scientists now say Teleporting will be possible in the future..

I mean SOOOOOOO MANY THINGS that have been done in technology, and sooo many things that have been hidden or stashed away or muted.. by some one or some group.

So much technology intellect the world over, and their telling the people they don't have a cure for this virus?

Something doesn't add up.

Just my opinion. professor
String, are you now saying Trump is the anti-christ?
no Trump is not the anti Christ.
