Every government got this wrong, local, state, and federal. Democrat and Republican. The most important lesson is that you can't trust the government, they're not capable of saving you. You need to be able to save yourself.
Except there are governments around the world that are handling this crisis well. Just because American government(s) are incapable doesn't mean all are.
Well in America atleast you can protect yourself with guns
See I am in India, if it runs out of food supplies, people will raid our farms and take whatever they can find and we'll not even have guns to defend our food supply.
Imagine having a farm and having several towers with snippers guarding farm during crisis.
There is a stark difference in population, density, and economic activity between the United States and every other country in the world. The United States is the global hub of business, it's easy to see why they would be different compared to Norway.
There is still a major difference between not trusting the government to take care of you in the worst case, and expecting them to let public health emergencies grow out of control as the standard course of action.
When you talk about government you seem to mean united states government, and the current one at that. There is such a thing as the rest of the world (shock!), and some places are doing a decent job.
Actually I'm pretty sure almost any previous US government, rep or dem, would have done a much better job than this one.
BTW if you want to 'save yourself', what are your personal plans for developing a vaccine?
No, I mean every government is incapable of saving everyone or preventing any infections. Nearly all countries in the world have had infections in their borders. The state of New York has an incredibly high infection rate because of its role in being a hub of international travel. New York still has not closed its borders, and their role in spreading disease within its borders can not be understated.

The more likely answer is that you would be one of the many people that gets to die alone in your home.
