Otherwise: Britain would not have survived without our help, but I have the utmost respect for how they handled themselves and fought during WWII. Maybe they could have prevailed but I think America's massive out-production of the war machine did the trick.

As it is, let's move on from the virus thing and see a sound Anglo-American alliance and, for the UK, a revival of the Commonwealth. Perhaps the latter's still worth a shot.
