General Discussion thoughts on how the usa has handled the pandemic?

i think its been disgraceful and thats putting it lightly. Trump was downplaying calling it a hoax and comparing it to the flu which some people are still doing. Suddenly out of knowhere he bans travel from europe and china. Then says he wants things to get back to normal at easter. Then today he said he wants to continue retrictions untill april 30th. Talk about sending mixed signals and he has the nerve to criticise the uk. His supporters are somehow worse btw still comparing it to the flu and other things and more worried about the economy then people lives

It isn't that bad to be honest compared to other countries.
He did the right thing to ban travel and I learned somewhere he warned before hand but New York mayor called it exaggerating and didn't make necessary steps.I may be wrong.

Well, i think he doesn't know it himself what he should do...

He did the same things what the other nations did, nothing new and i'm sure he will not die because of this Virus

Definitely very mixed signals the last weeks. Here is hoping the US government gets its act together and does what's in the best interest of the public.

100 000 to 250 000 deaths if strong mitigations (If people stayed at home, washed hands ...) or 1 500 000 - 2 200 000 deaths if people didn't care about it . That's what the white house says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggCZXLTSbPE . It's frightening to be honest but compared to brazil at least the US is doing something ...

yeah but even now he wont do a lockdown but i understand in a country like america it would be hard to do that.

Yeah but now because they were too slow to react at the beginning it doesnt look good. My country the uk is no better.
