FAUCI: 'We've Done Worse Than Most Any Other Country'

Fauci Delivers Blunt Assessment of U.S. Coronavirus Death Toll:

Fauci said. “I believe that if you look back historically, we’ve done worse than most any other country — and we’re a highly developed rich country.”

“Five hundred thousand Americans — families grieving all across the country,” Stephanopoulos said. “Did this have to be?”

“Certainly some of it, but not this bad,” Fauci said. “I believe that if you look back historically, we’ve done worse than most any other country — and we’re a highly developed rich country.”

Fauci did not invoke or directly assign blame to former President Donald Trump. But he did cite the prior administration’s lack of a national strategy as a primary reason why the virus has hit so hard.

“There were things back then, if you go back and think about what you might have done — the kind of disparate responses of different states rather than having a unified approach,” Fauci said. “But it’s so tough to go back and try to do a metaphorical autopsy on how things went. It was just bad. It is bad now.”

2. "and we're a highly developed rich country."

Problem is, that doesn't necessarily make a country moral, equitable or just.
