Typical lessons of the last 100 years which many people ignored out of their own selfish inclinations.
It would be nice if showing human society the above would sink in and actually make a difference, but I'm dubious. It's also interesting that the U.S has the most amount of cases, if the numbers are to believed.
There is nothing surprising about it. US has been a neoliberal country since a long time where stock market is valued more than people's lives. And the current administration did anything in its power to prevent any large scale measures that would harm the stocks. Donald Junior even called it a 'Democratic hoax'. Add to that the privatized healthcare system which prevents people from seeking treatment when sick for fear of bankruptcy, add to that the avoidance of any public spending because it would prevent more tax breaks for the rich. You end up with any pandemic hitting like a truck.
This is going to last a long time in US yet.
