What's interesting is that this is a reasonable method of natural selection. Those who are "smart" (average intelligence) will keep themselves safe and healthy. Those who are unintelligent will go to corona parties... and lick windows...
Because I do believe there are a lot of Americans who deserve to live
Look. You want to insert facts into the conversation. I get it. But you have to understand that if people acknowledge that almost every country has their borders closed to every other country, it becomes EXCEEDINGLY more difficult to paint the US as being the worst shithole in existence.

The "holier-than-thou" have no place for you at their table.

And, before anyone misinterprets this comment, by the "holier-than-thou" I mean the dipshits on the news constantly harping on about how much better everyone is than America right now. A conclusion they've only reached by putting America on blast, while strategically ignoring just about every other country in existence
I was iffy about Trump's isolationism. At first. Now we see what the world really thinks of an America trying to get her own affairs in order first. Fuck 'em.
Honestly there's areas America could probably be doing better. I haven't seen anyone - including Americans - deny that. I've yet to see a country that isn't true of, mind you.

I haven't seen any countries doing so intrinsically BETTER as to warrant the level of judgement they're raining down on America right now
You're rather disingenuous. Canada currently has most travel to and from foreign countries restricted - and actually seems to have greater leniency to people travelling into Canada from the US (although not by much).

Canada also only has mandatory mask laws in a few places. Oddly most people are fine without masks, especially when they respect social distancing and don't lick the hands and faces of strangers. Admittedly it has been difficult to lose that traditional greeting during these hard times, but I'm sure they'll be back in business before long.
And on that note, Canada literally has had its own anti-mandatory mask rallies. A lot of them seem to involve people who literally have so much scarring on their lungs they can barely breathe as it is. Their lives aren't important, though, so they should really just shut up about it.
Oh, we also currently have a bunch of white people running around throwing paint and graffiting historical statues at the moment, screeching about how much they hate colonialism.
.
None of them have offered to do their part to end colonialism by going back to Europe. So I can only assume they're not actually that worked up about it, and are, as someone on here would say, a bunch of children stamping their feet.
The UK's rate of people wearing masks is atrocious, and from what stats I can find, the US is doing much better.
.
Hopefully the new fines will help, but this pandemic has made me realise how much I hate it here.
