United States covid-19 pandemic update thread

Yup, like I said, everyone thought he was going to get better, but he died on his fourth month there. There were talks of a lung transplant, but he was already getting better and they decided not to do it, so everyone was very hopeful, which is why it felt worse when he passed away.

His father was relatively young too, at age 54 passing away, but losing him at age 32 was even a bigger hit for his mom, he has a twin brother that looks just like him, also married with children, and a younger sister, plus his own wife and children, and a lot of friends that will miss him like family too.

We used to rent a floorball arena and played fast football indoors showball together, stayed over at the beach overnight, drink piña coladas like crazy, swim in the pools, eat on multiple restaurants, play FIFA and Mortal Kombat, it really feels like losing family. It is hard to put it into perspective.

Looking back at the pandemic, one thing I can say is that the world, ESPECIALLY america, NEEDED the Wuling Mini EV





The Wuling Mini EV would've been the PERFECT coronavirus recession era econobox. Everybody could afford it (only $4,162!), simplistic as hell in its design right down to the bare basics and is one of the most fuel-efficient cars ever made, meaning that maintenance would cost you literally nothing. It would have been the PERFECT solution to america's economic and automotive crisis at the time, especially since it hit the market the exact same year the coronavirus became a pandemic (2020).

I still vividly remember how challenging getting around suddenly became in america once the car market crashed after the pandemic hit. Americans couldn't afford cars, so dealers weren't selling any cars, and so the price of new & used cars skyrocketed, which obviously didn't benefit most people. BUT if americans HAD had access to an affordable car, then all of these woes would've been over in a flash, and that affordable car is none other than the WULING MINI EV.

The exclusion of the Wuling Mini EV from the global markets was easily one of the biggest missed opportunities from the pandemic. This reminds me why america's automotive industry desperately needs to be reformed.
