If the US had the same COVID death rate as Australia, 900,000 fewer lives would have been lost. It's as if they're trying hard NOT to kill each other
We are just too self-privileged. Period and full stop.

I kinda feel bad for some of them. Mislead by memes and the media.
But a lot of them add to the misinformation. There is a site called sorryantivaxxer that archives all these anti-vaccine people and the nonsense they posted up until they died of Covid. In some cases their spouses continue the antivax crap even after their partner dies. They blame it on the hospital and medical staff. I guess this is just evolution doing its thing.

@Coralmist @DeluxedEdition Whatever migration occurred was as much for, if not more for, the high cost of housing and high cost of living and existed before the pandemic as well. Although most of the migration is from urban centers in California to more rural areas of California for stated reasons and there appears to be no net reduction in state population.
As for what was done, a total lockdown in the most urban centers during the peak surges with indoor masking required, high levels of vaccinations with large public vaccination campaigns. Varying county-by-county depending upon infection/hospitalization rates and adjusted as the surges have come and gone. A lot of work-from-home programs which was easy to implement given that a lot of the jobs are in the tech field, and are continuing despite the ease of pandemic restrictions in various forms of hybrid employment. Which is playing havoc with the office real estate market, but not the housing market.

You mean have strict lockdowns, arrest people who don't comply, put them in holding camps and using the media to snitch on people who tried to avoid the lockdowns?
Pass.
This is a stupid assertion anyway. There was no single US policy on Covid, it was pretty much every state for themselves.
Maybe pick specific state to compare to...
