Yep. We aren’t going to be like Hong Kong. With our spirit of independence and individual freedom, we were never going to be Hong Kong. We probably won’t be South Korea either. But I think we will be smart enough to avoid becoming Italy or Iran, and avoid shutting down large portions of our country and economy.
I’m not so sure we haven’t become too selfish a country to be able to overcome this virus. It’s all about me and my rights, everyone else be damned. I don’t think as a society we were like that in 1918.
