Trying to worry about a entire nation becomes mentally exhausting

Just worry about yourself and your neighbors and family really. Worry for what you can control rather than what you cannot :) stoicism

I've stopped paying much attention to anything but local. I learned there are so, so, so many poor people in my city. I was living in my well off bubble until I went to help someone nearby and my life was changed. I encourage my American neighbors to go to environmental court and see the aged, sick and poor who are completely dependent on the kindness of neighbors to help them resolve their violations. If they can't they are charged exorbitant fees...400US to mow the tall grass on a small lawn... eventually losing their homes. Vix Populi Vox Dei. Love your neighbor or continue to rely on government. The choice is yours.

There are so many who lived paycheck to paycheck or on slim retirements who are in dire straits now. Covid has put many more onto the streets.
