Sverige har en mycket högre medelålder än USA och även i Sverige finns det massor av folk som går ut och festar. Många äldre som rör sig ute och framförallt så tror många att Sveriges resurser är starka.
Men Sverige har ju mycket lägre andel vårdplatser än EU genomsnittet.
Så nej, USA kommer säkert klara sig bra jämfört med Sverige.
Vi har det rent nationellt ja, men har vi hela regioner som i stort sett fungerar som ålderdomshem ovanpå att USA må ha fler vårdplatser men mentaliteten i USA är att man inte söker vård för att man inte har råd med det.
Detta ovanpå att det finns offentliga personer som inte anser att det är en pandemi, att man antingen inte ska lita på läkarna eller att de inte vet bäst.
Alabamas guvernör Kay Ivey är en sådan

“Y’all, we are not Louisiana, we are not New York state, we are not California,” she said on Thursday, according to the Montgomery Advertiser. “Right now is not the time to order people to shelter in place.”

Vi har ju även Trump som har skickat ut brev där han uppmanar staterna att lätta på sina regleringar kring social distans osv för att kunna påskynda folks återgång till arbetsplatserna.
Citat:
President Trump said in a letter to U.S. governors on Thursday that his administration is working to publish new guidelines for state and local governments to use when making decisions about "maintaining, increasing or relaxing social distancing and other mitigation measures" for the coronavirus epidemic.
Trump said officials are gathering testing data that will suggest guidelines categorizing counties as "high risk, medium risk or low risk" for the virus. The data will drive "the next phase" of the response, he said.
Trump has indicated that he wants to adjust his 15-day social distancing guidelines so that more parts of the stalled U.S. economy can reopen by April 12. The 15th day of the original guidelines is Monday.

Jag har bara tagit upp politiker än så länge, det är nämligen så att det är inte bara politiker som försvårar situationen i USA, du har sådana som Rush Limbaugh som ifrågasätter om specialisterna ens är specialister.

Rush Limbaugh questions Trump's coronavirus team: 'How do we know they're even health experts?'
Rush Limbaugh on Friday suggested health experts leading the U.S. government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic are part of the “deep state” and questioned their credentials.
Without mentioning names, the conservative commentator spoke skeptically of medical professionals at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health who are helming the Trump administration’s handling of the novel coronavirus, which has killed more than 1,000 people across the country within the past several weeks.
He made the remarks while calling into his long-running radio program, which he has not hosted for two weeks while seeking medical treatment for advanced lung cancer.
“You know, we’ve talked about the deep state all these years since Trump was elected, the Trump-Russia collusion, the FBI — well, the deep state extends very deeply,” Mr. Limbaugh said. “And the American people did not elect a bunch of health experts that we don’t know. We didn’t elect a president to defer to a bunch of health experts that we don’t know.
“And how do we know they’re even health experts? ‘Well, they wear white lab coats and they’ve been in the job for a while and they’re at the CDC and they’re at the NIH.’ Well, yeah, they’ve been there and they are there, but has there been any job assessment for them? They’re just assumed to be the best because they’re in government, but these are all kinds of things that I’ve been questioning,” he said during the “Rush Limbaugh Show.”

Och backar vi till innan det började komma in dödsfall så hade vi präster som antingen uttnytjade folks orolighet för att få dem att donera extra mycket pengar, beskyllde homosexuella för att vara orsaken till sjukdomen eller som rent av påstod att sjukdomen hysteri.

One of the first deaths of a Virginian from coronavirus was a 66-year-old Christian “musical evangelist” who fell ill while on a trip to New Orleans with his wife. As the Friendly Atheist’s Bo Gardiner points out, Landon Spradlin had previously shared opinions that the pandemic was the result of “mass hysteria” from the media.
On March 13, Spradlin shared a misleading meme that compared coronavirus deaths to swine flu deaths and suggested the media is using the pandemic to hurt Trump. In the comments, Spradlin acknowledged that the outbreak is a “real issue,” but added that he believes “the media is pumping out fear and doing more harm than good”
“It will come and it will go,” he wrote.
That same day, he shared a post from another pastor that told the story of a missionary in South Africa who “protected” himself from the bubonic plague with the “Spirit of God.”
“As long as I walk in the light of that law [of the Spirit of life], no germ will attach itself to me,” read a quote from the post.

Så i slutändan så säger jag inte att Sverige är bäst, långt ifrån vi har en rad med problem, men USA har så mycket större problem än oss att det är svårt att säga att de troligen kommer att klara av detta bra.
