Boomer Champions of the Coronapocalypse

(03-27-2020, 11:29 AM)Warren Dew Wrote: President Trump's handling of the Covid-19 crisis has been highly successful so far.  The US only has 1000 deaths to date, compared to 16,000 so far in Europe, largely due to Trump's prompt action in restricting travel from China, and later from Europe.  Deaths are about as objective as it gets.  In addition, while the US economy is now taking a severe hit, it's not nearly as bad as the EU economy, at least so far.

I was actually opposed to the China travel restrictions at the beginning, but Trump was right and I was wrong.

I expect we'll have to agree to disagree on this.  From my side, it looks like Trump opponents are just refusing to see anything good about him, so I doubt there's any way to reach agreement on this.

We're behind the curve compared to Italy/Spain, so it's too early to use deaths as a comparison for whether we handled the coronavirus better than they did. And closing the borders isn't enough; we need the social distancing restrictions to slow the spread. Those came from U.S. governors, so I would put the governors in the category of champions in this context, not the President.

If closing the borders has indeed helped, then credit is due to the President. But with his self-aggrandizing, insecure attitude, I cannot see him as a champion.
