Non-US Perspective of US - virus feedback

[Delaney]

(1) What country are you from?
France
(2) How bad would you rate the coronavirus in your country today? 1 being 'it was nothing' to 10 being it was horrendous.
Today : 2-3
(3) How bad would you rate the coronavirus in your country at its peek? 1 being 'it was nothing' to 10 being it was horrendous.
at the peek : 8 but for some region it was more 4-5
(4)Are masks required in your country?
Yes indoor and outdoor if the distance cannot be respected
(5)What are most people's reactions to wearing masks in your country?
I would say about 70-80% are ok with that, it really depends on the area of the country

(6)Are schools open in your country? Are they opening as normal?
They are on vacation leave. but the schools (primary, secondary and high schools) were open in June and will open in September unless a new wave occurs. Everyone has to wear a mask. Universities were not open. I don't know if they will open in September

(7)In the US, they say the virus is going to go away after our November 3rd election. Any comments on this?
mode joke = on : in God you trust, so why not, even a miracle: if you stop doing tests and consider that anyone dying of covid is dying because the heart stop beating, yes it can disappear

Mode joke = off : it always make me sad when people stop using their brain and believe anything because they have heard it or read it one time without considering a beginning of analysis, critic on what is true/false, etc...
This is a full topic who would deserve it own thread and not just for the US people. We are in a era of media and information (true or false, it is not important) what matters is not anymore the truth but the audience/number of click/finality.

(8)Any other comments about the US and how it is handling the virus?
I take the fifth
More seriously, US is more 50 small countries in a certain way that a big one so it is difficult to judge.

My only comment will be (and it is valid for not just this case and this country) : you cannot solve a problem by hiding it, you must acknowledge it, find solutions,apply these solutions and correct them if needed. But tell that to a politic... there you are going to need a big miracle...
