Why is the pandemic so bad in America?
<|assistant|>
The COVID-19 pandemic has been especially hard on the United States for a number of reasons. The large geographic size of the country and the wide variety of climate zones means that the virus spread quickly. Additionally, socioeconomic disparities within the US make it difficult for some people to access resources, such as face masks, to help contain the virus' spread. Furthermore, health care systems are already overburdened, which has resulted in significant delays in care and longer recovery times.
