just wanted to add, as relates to ‘third world’ - the USA isn’t hanging them out to dry - we are there, assistance in hand, no strings attached, in 100 countries, just like Americans always are (not that the MSM will tell you that):

“Together, private American businesses, non-profits, charities, and individuals have provided nearly $4 billion in donations and assistance, in addition to what our government has provided.

This is nearly 80 percent of the global philanthropic efforts to combat COVID-19. We truly are in a league of our own. Altogether, Americans have provided nearly $6.5 billion in government and non-government assistance and donations to the global effort, accounting for nearly 60 percent of global totals. As all of these numbers prove and as the Secretary Pompeo was so fond of saying, the United States is riding to the sounds of the gun, boldly heading into the fight to stop this pandemic; retreat is simply not an option.

“As the world’s largest provider of COVID-19 assistance, the United States strongly encourages and welcomes all serious – meaning transparent-type quality and no-strings attached – efforts to – from the global community to do the same.
