How Bad Was Trump’s Handling Of Coronavirus? | The Daily Social Distancing Show
Here’s a look back at how Trump botched America’s coronavirus response from the very beginning.

@stux Well considering the daily death rate of covid is half of what it was in april.. HALF, and the mortality rate for observed cases of covid is down by 1/12th what it was in april... and considering that our numbers never surged anywhere **close** to the dutch numbers or capacity... id say pretty good.
I do find it a bit ironic your spending time focusing on how Trump failed at corona when I literally had to flee the netherlands because your own countries handling of it was several orders of magnitude worse than anything happening in the USA, and still getting worse.
@stux to some extendt you are absolutely correct, int he USA we tend to be at eachothers throats, there is no denying that. But that is a very different concern than talking about the number of coronavirus illnesses and deaths.
In fact in a very odd way it is why we are doing as well as we are. As I've stated before when I worked for the health care industry on disease proliferation models it always showed that lockdowns, once a virus is wide spread, causes the spread of the virus to increase, and increase the death toll long term. This is well established, but the lockdowns were instituted out of public demand not rationality.
So the fact that so many people have defied the lockdown because they dont beleive the virus is real is ironically exactly why our numbers are so far ahead of the rest of the world in terms of morality rate and overall daily death rate. We allowed the virus to run its course and now what is left is a partial-herd immunity where the viruses effect through the population is significantly attenuated and while lots of people get it very few people get sick from it as the exposure tends to be more mild.
Our numbers dont lie, when most of the world who had much stricter lockdowns are dying left and right in ever increasing numbers ours have shot down to all time lows and even with the case resurgence of 6x what it was in april our overall death toll is still half. The proof is in the numbers.
As for being ashamed of being the same race as Trump, yea me too, but not because of his handling of coronavirus, which he handled ok, but because he is a moron, says obnoxious stuff, and general is shit with many other areas of politics (he was good with coronavirus and economies, and made some minor improvements finally to obamacare, but generally sucked at addressing healthcare more generally or the environment or energy or technology or pretty much anything other than those two)...
While I'm ashamed to be associated with an idiot like trump, im far far more ashamed to be associated with a segregationist and racist like biden, and was ashamed to be associated with someone like Obama After he executed
a 16 year old american child and person of color.... so yea im used to being ashamed of presidents.
@freemo Hm.. I doubt that! Overall people don't tend to devide as much over here luckily. I get the feeling the US so so split.. One half doesn't even 'believe' in the virus like it's some sort of religion derp
We are a small and dense country, overall we're handeling it good-ish. Not perfect, not by a long shot but we don't make big screw ups like Trumpet does.. Man I feel ashamed to be hooman because he says he is.. He swings from left to right within a few hours, what kinda leader is that
