Abstract
This paper examines why the US, the wealthiest nation in the world, appears incapable of preventing the spread of COVID-19. The reason is that solutions are antithetical to the US capitalist-state and the continuation of the capitalist system. Since the system is based on private ownership and profit with a sustaining state-sponsored ideology of individualism, it is incapable of enacting the necessary structural changes that can offer the best defense against infectious viruses. A look at its poor record at addressing highly preventable diseases and social problems is foreshadowing.
