Observation: Arguably the COVID response failures in the U.S. and China illustrate fundamental failings in both societies. In the U.S. rampant anti-science, corporatized health care, lack of public investment, extreme inequality, dysfunction fueled by extreme polarization fed by incentivized disinformation. In China authoritarian corrupt leaders out of touch with, and with little regard for, the needs and experiences of their vast, diverse population.

Question: Which country has had the best COVID response? Is there a society which has responded in a way informed by science and respectful of the rights and needs of their people?
