I wonder whether things would be different if people stayed at home instead of cramming into Wal-Mart to but TP and then to buying guns and ammo. I totally get why people are preppers in the USA, but the virus transmits asymptomatic. So, unless you have private property and 2 years worth of food then most prepping actual spreads the virus.
I bet that neither retailers in USA DON'T force customers to wash their hands nor wear a mask. USA will have to nationalise public health and make it free to stop the spread of FEAR. FEAR of bankruptcy seems to be stronger than fear of infection.
I recall once when I got sick in SLC and was in hospital getting a drip and nobody, not ever, washed their hands. Cleaners were all low paid and did not look happy.
