But would the US still have the most confirmed deaths, or would Brazil have more?
We are doing so poorly compared to Canada and Mexico, it's hard to escape the conclusion that anything we might have done differently would have improved matters.

I don’t know the answer and in fact none of us do.  Look at New Zealand for instance.  They completely locked down the country after a post St. Patrick's Day celebration outbreak.  They were praised for being a shining example of how to do it  Right.  They had it totally under control and reopened their country.  They are currently shut down again due to another massive outbreak.  If an island country the size of New Zealand cannot get it under control how does a country the size of America get it under control when we have boarders that a certain political party do not want closed?
