[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was ok in March.  I'm struggling now that it's become apparent that there is no plan, no leadership.  Trump has abdicated all responsibility to the states and localities and now we are getting into red-blue BS.

We sacrificed our economy and lots of lives and we are worse off than we are in March.

We are going to have a second wave.  Everything will be worse.

I see no hope unless we have an actual president elected in November and the GOP is out.

Hugs, OP.

For those that want to say Trump's administration hasn't royally messed this up, look at South Korea.  We as a country, at least in Electoral College states that matter, are hopelessly stupid. [/quote]

[b]South Korea benefited from their previous experience with SARS. Why not look at France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and the UK - all of which have higher covid 19 death rates than the US?[/quote][/b]

Because we could be, and should be, doing better than those countries.  For many reasons, but one being we had far more advanced notice that this virus was coming.

It doesn't take SARS to realize that testing, tracing, and isolating are the way to save lives and the economy.

Are you trying to defend the administration's response?  I can't even give him credit for leaving it to the states- that would be a plan, at least.  A bad plan, but a plan.  He has abdicated all responsibility to the states, and then encouraged them to re-open without meeting his own administration's guidelines for doing so, promoted crack pot cures, made it harder for the states to get necessary equipment and tests, lied about testing, the list goes on.

Sounds like you want to move over to the political board, but if you do, be prepared to make your case beyond picking one single country as a comparison when you do.  And also research how our Constitutional system of government is set up and why authority for response to pandemics is set at the state level (beyond specifically listed responsibilities of the federal government like the military and immigration).[/quote][/b]

You are so persuasive!!!!   :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

It's ok.  I'm done.  Have fun convincing others that Trump's response has been anything but abysmal.  [/quote]
