[T]he pandemic disaster encountered by the U.S. is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster caused by the failure of public health policies and of political institutions.
The approach of the administration suggests it is looking to profit from the pandemic rather than implement ways to contain the spread, which is regrettable to say the least.
After eight full months of the pandemic, the pressure to keep the economies open and let the chips (or rather, the elderly) fall where they may is growing strong.
The U.S. reopening during the pandemic not only gambles with the lives of its citizens, but also forces the rest of the world to face the risk together.
