    America's response to Covid-19 from a US citizen abroad

    An interesting article in The Atlantic from 2 July.

    The things that you're liable
    To read in the Bible
    It ain't necessarily so    ."

    If the country sparked fear and intense resentment under George W. Bush and mild resentment mixed with vicarious pride under Barack Obama, what it provokes under Trump has been something entirely new: pity and indifference. We are the pariah state now, but do we even see it?
    All things considered, "pity and indifference" seems pretty tame.

    As a life-long resident, this has sparked something much more fierce in me, and it's nothing like either of those two words.

    The culture war here is now deadly.
