We now know that China knowingly released people into the US BEFORE THE NEW YEAR. Containment was never possible, only flattening the curve.
And our real numbers are in line with elsewhere. You are being fed propaganda.
Blaming “leadership” when Trump was in charge was also inevitable from you.
I can actually only think of a couple of leadership decisions that have made a significant difference:
1) TrumpTravel Ban from China early on and against heavy political resistance was key for buying us 6 weeks or so. This was a huge part of why we were able to “flatten the curve”
2) Sticking recovering COVID patients back into nursing homes while still infectious caused half of our CONFIRMED deaths. This was done by the governors from NY, PA, and MI, and it was done for political reasons against the demands from the nursing homes. Those governors should face charges for that decision imo. It was a well known risk that they took for political reasons.
3). Cutting the regs at the FDA for meds and esp vaccine development has been big.
