Size and system of government alone make any of those comparisons invalid. There really isn't any useful benchmark that I can think of. After it's all over, we can look at results state by state in the US. That will be useful.

Why not? Are we really that unique?
This is nonsense.
All countries were tested by COVID; we failed.
And you know it. You could try, but it would never work. It's not even debatable.
The United States had advantages compared to the EU - like a central government, at least in theory - but it did worse. Worse than China.
We are not that unique.
Maybe you should outline your criteria for how well countries are doing?

What they don’t have is a craven leader playing to his base (the only voters he has left) to undermine his own administrations guidelines and policy.
He has tools for sure. And influence. Ultimately though, it's up to each state to enact effective policies. Trump can't lock down Ohio or require us to wear masks.
Calling him a dictator or a tyrant. Does nothing, now it’s his fault. Remember, he killed all those elderly people in the NE. How quickly that was forgotten? These Libs were drooling all over Cuomo and his press conferences. It was quite comical.
Instead he actively encouraged that they be ignored and that states be “liberated”. None of those R governors would have crossed him.
If Obama did that, you and your fellow trumpies would have crucified him.
He pandered to the moronic base.
To do because they had final say. They killed all those elderly people and now are passing the blame.

We have seen protest after protest all be supported. So why can’t everyone else get back outside and live?
Killing people during the outbreak is all on them.
If the reopening had been timed better, this wouldn’t have happened. The person encouraging the flaunting of his own guidelines on that is yer dear leader.

Trump certainly could have done any number of things. Not only did he fail to coordinate national policy, he made things worse.
Spin and rationalize and deny all you want.

They can do whatever the heck they want.
reckless and unforgivable. None of those govs would have crossed him.
He did this to base pander.
We are getting better at treating it and the people being infected lately seem to be lower-risk than those infected initially.

Your problem is that there aren’t enuff culture warriors to get him re-elected.
and may even have achieved the master level.
