Corona virus, China major city lockdowns, etc.

I don't disagree with anything you said there. It sounds like Argentina is doing a whole lot better than the US when it comes to complying with being responsible. Frankly, I'm not surprised. The US is odd that way. We're a strange mix of very community oriented and very anti-community. We lament it, we agonize about it, and we do nothing about it.

Here the people in 2020 somewhat obeyed, but also because the lock-down was mandatory, and the use of masks.
But also many people didn't, specially the one of less resources.

We had a lot of infections in mid 2020, and that must had generated some immunity.
In 2021 started the vaccination, and we have now according to here 82.2% with one dose and 68,76% with two doses.
Quite high vaccination rate.

Also, it is my guess (mostly seeing the result) that the vaccines applied here were better.
For political reasons(*), we had the Russian Sputnik V, Oxford–AstraZeneca and Chinese Sinopharm vaccines.
Now from some months ago we also have Moderna, Pfizer and I think Cansino, but most of the people were already vaccinated when we got those.

I think that a big part of the disagreements in this thread are due to the different ways we experienced the pandemic. It has been an economic disaster for lots of places in the world, but thanks to the funding model in the US, it's been considerably different for us.

Here it was a disaster. Many SMEs went bankrupt.
The lock-down in 2020 was one of the longest in the world.
Like from March to November.
Crazy.


(*) The government that we have now is one of the worst in the history of the country, and they are aligned with Venezuela, Russia, China...
