I'm sorry the Americans on this thread are disappointed by 'misinformation' posted here. I know that the quality of healthcare in the US is high if its funded from insurance. But for those that cannot afford health insurance and are eligibile there is Medicaid. But some people do not qualify for Medicaid dependent on the state in which you live:
'Medicaid does not provide medical assistance to all people with low income and low resources. The Affordable Care Act of 2012 gave states the option to expand their Medicaid coverage. In the states that did not expand their programs, several at-risk groups are not eligible for Medicaid.
These include:
Adults over 21 years who do not have children and are pregnant or have a disability.
Working parents with incomes below 44% of the FPL
Legal immigrants in their first 5 years of living in the U.S.'
In fact, Trump and many right wing political leaders have been arguing against 'Obamacare' and extended healthcare coverage for the poorest members of society. Fighting tooth and nail to get extensions of healthcare eligibility removed.
You haven't really provided alternative explanations for the fact that you have thousands of people protesting, people toting assault rifles and military gear around State capital buildings, right wing speakers like Alex Jones whipping up the crowds and a President encouraging civil disobedience against democratically elected state leaders.
I've never been to Disneyland. I have lived in a red neck state where there were regular KKK rallies and people openly carrying firearms in the streets and their pickup trucks. Of course there is a balancing decision to be made between people's liberty and death and right now the US is heading the leader board on the latter. It has the highest number of Covid deaths for any country, and infection rates are not dependent on the size of the population but on human to human social contact.
Many people are railing against being locked down at home because there is very poor welfare provision in the US. Sadly what is known so far about this deadly infection is that it is the poorest people and those from ethnic minorities who will suffer most. The US is one of, if not the, most unequal nation on earth and those economic inequalities will be reflected in the health inequalities about who lives and dies. So when you say American people are very good at managing risk, I imagine you mean American people are very well capable of accepting inequality - and accepting the death and suffering of others. But it doesn't really matter whether those people who are protesting are waving guns and American flags in the air many are now likely to be infected.
And when you get offended by criticism of the US on these boards please note that there are also plenty of boards on Mumsnet criticising the decisions and policies of our own government and other government's too. It is healthy to challenge and question the actions of the executive and hold them to account. Not as healthy, in my view, to have the Head of State undermining elected State Governors encouraging insurrection and people taking to the streets with guns. One of the top benefits of lockdown? The US had the first month (in March) in 18 years without any school shootings.
