Current Events > Anyone else feel like the virus is being used to bash Americans?

(+) Yeah! (+)

*Italy gets over 60 million people quarantined*

*Some* Americans (because people are idiots in general), are trying to go out and party, while MOST are being wise, with movies and bars closing, restaurants, churches, stores closing, etc.

Meanwhile, you have people outside of the U.S are like, "Oh, because some idiots are out partying, that means no one is taking the virus seriously, and Americans are incredibly stupid. You're going to be as worse than Italy, because you're not taking it seriously.

In what way is thousands of stories and places closing down in American not being taking seriously. People are losing their jobs, yet you want to talking about how Americans are idiots, because a few select idiots are out partying?? I even saw someone on Twitter say the other day, "The only reason why America cared about the virus in the first place, is because they don't care if something bad happens unless its sports related".

America has its issues, of course. But at the same time, they're taking the situation far more seriously than Italy was in its early stages. Italy has quarantined over 60 million people, because it wasn't taken seriously first. A large majority of Americans are taking the virus seriously (with all the examples I listed earlier). And a few idiots shouldn't change that.
