Trump damaged himself, if he had simply handled covid better, then this crisis would have helped him get re-elected. If democrats caused this crisis to hurt Trump then that was a really risky bet because it was a perfect situation for Trump, problem is Trump fumbled the great hand dealt to him.


Sweden didn't do lockdowns but they did have rules about wearing masks and high rates of mask wearing. Not sure how that says anything about masks not being effective.

What should Trump had done to "handle COVID better?"  He's not the king of the US.  Each state has city governments, governors and legislators.  What has Trump NOT done that our wonderful Hawaii government hasn't done as well? 

You sound like every Democrat that jumped on Bush for the Katrina response.  The STATES run by DEMOCRATS, especially LA, failed.  Bush had supplies, trucks and buses waiting at the state border ready to help New Orleans, but the governor said, "No thanks!  We're fine."

Then, when it became obvious the people were being left to suffer on their own, they finally allowed FEMA into the state.  Afterward, the media and Democrats blamed Bush for everything, including the levy that broke -- something the New Orleans powers that be were warned about ever since it was built.

Yeah, Trump is President, but we are a collection of INDEPENDENT STATES.  Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, the governors asked for, Trump provided.

Did you expect to see Trump in a lab coat working on a vaccine?  Geesh!   

Do what Hawaii did only nationally and better.   Declare federal emergency, lock down all the states.  Roll out tests and put the full force of government to increase testing, instead of avoiding tests.  Along with locking ALL travel to china to exemptions.  Not call it a small flu that will disappear in the summer.   Don't withhold info on the critical  beginning months like he admitted doing.  Mask mandate for public early on.  Get ahead of this virus before it became impossible to stop.

So huge government control across the nation.

So huge government control across the nation. How about also put the sick into special camps?

No,  this is war,  there's is special temporary sacrifices that area needed to protect the nation.  Just like ww2 and other large wars.

Well there was a cure, still available.  Trump's reticence with pressure from big pharma, squelched this cheap and effective cure.  Prophylaxis using very light dosed without the Z pak efrfective.  Too bad, prolly cost him the election.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/study-finds-84-fewer-hospitalizations-for-patients-treated-with-controversial-drug-hydroxychloroquine

the only war we have is between us humans.
The virus doesn't know anything about conflict. We created the economic downturns when we decided to "shelter in place." We created all these hardships.
The virus didn't create these conditions - WE DID.

Tell us what you know about war.

China (humans) released the virus on the world.  If it was intentional, then it definitely falls under the category of "act of war."  If so, then China is the enemy, not COVID-19.  The virus is merely a bio-weapon. 

But since it began in their population, we have to err on the side of "oops!"

You could say we (humans) let the Genie out of the bottle -- just like happens in many SciFi stories.  I could rattle off a dozen movies, TV series episodes and books that have an apocalyptic backdrop created by humans trying to control things that are beyond our control.

We're too smart for our own good.

"Jsut give us your rights for a little bit. We promise we will give them back when the war is over."

We heard the same line 20 years ago when they passed the Patriot Act
