No, what I'm saying is Lin Baden kills 2,100 Americans and Americans are up in arms and the US goes to war
Donald Trump fails to take action on Covid on a level seen in other countries, putting money 1st, and almost 500,000 Americans die (arguably at least a proportion of those could have been saved by stropping the spread), and the American people don't blink an eyelid.
The hypocrisy is amazing.
Hi @CCTVCam
1) I believe numerous "leaders" and the press / main stream media in the USA completely failed the pandemic test.
Trump imho actually did better than those who opposed him, as they insisted he was a racist to stop planes flying in from Wuhan.
Trump was 100% correct to call out the WHO on their failures, and on China for helping to spread this virus.
( imho any US leader which disagrees has either failed to look at the clear data OR worse.. is compromised by a foreign power or greed and does not hold the best interests of the people in mind )
Certainly had Trump did a marginally better job he would have been reelected.
Also remember, in the US the States also have significant powers - and their local Governors can respond to health emergencies as well.
Once the dust settles in 10-20 years, hopefully people will be less polarized and we'll have a better analysis of the issues.
2) The UK certainly did not do better...
As an Island Nation they easily could have followed the Taiwan example to some degree, but failed to do so.
One good thing, is that the UK Health Ministry is finally getting the word out about vitamin-D .. a little late, and a little too little of a dose... ( Dr John Campbell has done a good job of covering this )
3) The country which did the best, was Taiwan imho. Perhaps because they were ejected from the WHO and thus were forced to get the data themselves.
