Obviously, we haven’t done enough.
Maybe Americans will finally "wake up" and respond meaningfully when / if the ICU units in our nation's hospitals fill up to overflowing and can accept no more covid-19 patients.

Images broadcatst on TV in the near future of direly ill patients being denied medical care because the hospitals are overwhelmed will not instill holiday cheer if what I fear may soon happen does indeed come to pass.

It's clear by now that this is not "just a flu:" over a quarter million dead Americans and still counting.

We were once a group of people able to work together for a common purpose, e.g. defeating the Axis in WWII; what happened to us?
