If the US had treated Covid with the same seriousness that Europe did, we would have had only 1.1 million cases here, instead of the 2.9 million we have had under trump. Can’t we should at least as much organization as the European Union? That’s a huge group of countries with more open borders than the US, and yet we have far more cases.  Trump is responsible for the piss-poor response here. He is responsible for 1.8 million excess cases of Covid in the US. [/quote]

This is false. Western Europe with a population of 380,000,000 has done far worse than the US in almost every respect. They have more fatalities and a much lower concentration of testing. Up until Mid-May, when many US states changed the way they took tests and reported their results and coinciding with the reduction of testing in Western Europe, the infection rate was about the same. In essence, Western Europe took the Trump approach of "since we have fewer fatalities and our infected (younger) aren't getting as sick, we can slow down testing." [/quote]

DP. whether the numbers are spot on, or not, the fact is, if the President had set a serious tone to this in February and had asked ALL Americans to wear masks or even coverings if masks were not available, we could have avoided the lockdown and the economic fallout, and our numbers would be a trickle right now.[/quote]
