Did Trump really blow our C19 response or might he have responded too strongly?

Sweden ~574 death/1,000,000
USA ~597 death/1,000,000

As of Sep 16, 2020

With the major difference that the Swedish government has already acknowledged their failures in handling the CoViD-19 disease.

Openly, in public.

In the meantime, the Swedish economy only contracted about 12%, primarily due to reduced tourism. The USA economy contract in about 20% because everything was shut down.

A few months ago the per capita death rate in the US was less than Sweden, but it has now caught up and surpassed.

It’s the long term that counts. It’s a virus and it will keep spreading over time. Eventually it will most likely infect the same percentage of population – whether it’s a lot now and less later, or a steady stream. It’s reported that the Spanish flu infected about a third of the worlds population.

And still Trump is denying. THAT is the focal point.

What you are proving in your post is whataboutism.

The OP asked a question, it did not make a statement. All I did was put some current statistics up to let readers make up their own mind what the answer to the question might be.

Whatever Trump did, he did it in concert with the information and suggestions he was receiving from Fauci and Brix. He was the first leader to shut down air traffic from Wuhan. When Trump did that, the reaction from Democratic leaders was to encourage people to not disparage the Chinese by coming down and celebrating the Chinese new year in New York City and San Francisco. It was affectively encouraging a non-social distancing activity that could possibly spread the disease. The CDC, a branch of the executive department, issued guidelines for states to follow. The federal government has very little if any authority to enforce social distancing. Several states including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Michigan head executive orders issued by the governor mandated that nursing homes take in people who tested positive for coronavirus. And this was after it was already knownGet the elderly population is at high risk. That cannot be blamed on Trump. Those states had extremely high death rates. That’s indisputable. The only governor to even come close to admitting that air is Cuomo.

And yet Trump never gave up denying, threatening, downplaying, basically lying...you can twist and turn, this remains the focal point on answering the question whether the government did too much or too little on handling the pandemic.

If Trump had acted just once as the President of the US instead of Supreme Being of the Kingdom of Trump...but he failed. Once again, like so many times before.

If this alone isn't a wake up call to you and demand a change in politics in general (you see, I don't think that much of current Democratics either), the tailspin of the whole US continues.

The advisers Trump was listening to were in public jobs before he became president, it’s not like he picked Fauci and Brix to advise him. They were there before he was.

Trump even brought up chloroquine , but Fauci shot it down. Other countries use HCQ successfully and their death rates are 75% less. The head of the FDA outright banned the use of HCQ for COVID-19 and you say Trump doesn’t listen to the experts? What if the the experts have been wrong?

If you’re so effing smart, what should have been done differently? Are you saying Trump should not have taken the advice from Fauci and Brix?

Why don’t you contribute something positive?

And as we all now, chloroquine was not the solution, on the contrary. Which was hinted early enough, but Mr. Iknowitallbetterthantheexperts...

The major problem with the likes of you is your unwillngness to accept facts. Like, masks DO contribute to slow down the spreading of the virus - no one stated that they were the sole solution but a part of measures, like lockdowns, washing your hands frequently, keeping a minimum distance to other people...

And in which way does wearing a mask interferes with your freedom? Basically, the only thing affected is your personal comfort but this is no reason to endanger the lives of others. I do admit that I don't like to wear a mask, but as long as there is no other simple and safe method to slow down the spreading rates, I place my personal comfort behind the rights of others not becoming infected with a virus of which we know only very little at this moment.

Did you not read the previous comment. HCQ reduced deaths in many countries by 75%. Studies show that when combined with zinc it has a 100% rate of curing the virus:

Wow. A site without impressum, just a bunch of articles. Many of them being disputed. Makes me wonder who's sitting on a big pile of HCQ eager to sell it.

And about that 100% cure...it's a theory. Not being proven. Not being tested in a scientific valid way.

Go read again. They are all studies linked directly to and accounted for. 100% is every time HCQ is used with zinc. Its sad you can't even read the summary of a study.

That’s your focal point. It’s not the focal point of the original post
