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.

A look at its poor record at addressing highly preventable diseases and social problems is foreshadowing.
