Why the US has the world's highest number of Covid-19 deaths
It only takes a straightforward comparison of the US' death toll with that of Asian countries to understand the scale of the Trump administration's failure. The US now has about 62 deaths per million people. Meanwhile, according to Johns Hopkins University data, Hong Kong, Japan, and Taiwan all have less than 1 death per million; and China, South Korea and Singapore have each under 5 deaths per million. India, too, took decisive actions, with a complete national lockdown beginning on March 24, when there still had been only 10 deaths in a country of 1.3 billion people. As of today, India has only 289 reported deaths, or 0.2 cases per million, and the hospitals are not jammed with patients as in the US.Daniel

"Some experts say not enough tests have been conducted and the true number of infections is much
higher.
"And with some of the most crowded cities on the planet, there are fears that numbers could take off
and overwhelm the shaky healthcare system...."

On March 8, the US had only 541 cases. If the US had implemented lockdown on March 8, it would have similar good numbers like India has now.

So, what did you expect when Trump was elected? Everyone saw the
debates, we all knew and understood what sort of person Trump is.
We had a chance to elect an honest, decent, competent President,
Mrs. Clinton (and we actually did elect her). But, we're stuck
with Trump until the next election. Enjoy your virus!

What Are the Six Characteristics of a Democracy?
https://classroom.synonym.com/what-are-the-six-characteristics-of-a-democracy-12083877.html
Democracy, derived from the Greek term "demos" or "people," is a system of government that gives power to the people. Democracy can be exercised in by citizens or through elected agents. First established by the Greeks, democracy didn't reappear on a global scale until after the 17th century. According to the U.S. Department of State, the democratic style of government -- adopted by the United States in 1776 -- has six basic characteristics: established popular sovereignty, majority rule, individual rights, free and open elections, citizen involvement and open compromise.
Citizen Rule
A democratic government grants adult citizens the right to elect their representatives. It also establishes clear guidelines for election cycles and term limits so that key positions are contested at regular intervals. Through this process of voting, citizens are regularly given the ability to hire or fire their representatives.
Majority Rule and Minority Rights
The principle of majority rule is an important part of the democratic system. The majority rules in the election process, but individual rights are protected by the maintenance of decentralized, local government bodies. In a democracy, all levels of government should be accessible to, and representative of, the people.
Individual Rights
Democracies value the protection of individual rights. The word freedom is used synonymously with democracy to describe individual liberties afforded in this type of government. In the U.S., the Bill of Rights serves as a summary of individual liberties. Freedom of speech and religion, protection from unlawful search and seizure and the right to bear arms are examples of individual liberties, afforded in a democracy. Equal treatment, under the law, is assured for everyone in a democratic society.
Free and Fair Elections
The key to the exercise of democracy is the election process. Free and fair elections are held at regular intervals for the election of representatives at all levels of government. In a free, democratic election, all adult citizens are given the right to cast votes which, in theory, ensures that the will of the people will be expressed.
Citizen Participation
Citizens of a democracy not only have the right to vote, but also the responsibility to participate. Informed participation is key in a democracy. When the people elect their representatives, they are ensuring the preservation of the democratic process Engaged citizenship is essential in a healthy democracy.
Cooperation and Compromise
Democracies also value cooperation and compromise to protect individual rights. To adequately safeguard diversity, and accurately represent all communities, a democracy must protect the right to be different. Anti-discrimination is at the heart of a true democracy. The freedom to assemble and voice opinion drives government accountability to ensure that underrepresented people have the same rights as the majority.

Trump vs. himself: How he dismissed the coronavirus, in his own words
U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be banking on one thing throughout the coronavirus pandemic: that his supporters will forget everything he says immediately after he says it, and that any contradictions will be ignored.
It’s certainly been difficult to follow Trump’s many twisting narratives throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, as he’s gone from downplaying the threat, to claiming total control of the crisis, to blaming his usual list of suspects for every setback.
Those usual suspects have included the Democrats, the media, Barack Obama, China and, most recently, the World Health Organization, which he’s now trying to financially starve out for supposedly not raising the alarm early enough.
But while Trump continues to claim that he got ahead of the WHO by closing the U.S. to travellers from China over two months ago, his own words show he frequently ignored or downplayed the threat after taking that action, even as the WHO ramped up its alarm. He also can’t escape the numbers, which show that the U.S. is leading the world in deaths and infections since the crisis began.
He’s claimed that he has “total” authority over the U.S. response to the virus, while taking no responsibility “at all” for the country’s widely reported testing failures. He’s accused the media of stoking “hysteria” around the virus while also failing to report the full scope of the danger. He’s even claimed that the virus will disappear like a “miracle,” only to declare a few weeks later that he “felt it was a pandemic long before it was a pandemic.”
It’s virtually impossible to keep up with all of the half-truths and total falsehoods the president has been pushing at his now-daily press briefings on the virus. The thought line has been pretty clear since the crisis began: anything good that happens is because of Trump, and anything bad that happens is because of someone else.
Here’s how Trump distorted the dangers of the virus, in his own words.
Early January — ‘Totally under control’ despite warnings
Trump received multiple warnings about the threat of the coronavirus in January. His health secretary, Alex Azar, briefed him about the threat on Jan. 18, three days before the first confirmed case in the U.S.
“We have it totally under control,” Trump told CNBC on Jan. 22. “It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
January 30 — WHO declares a global health emergency, Trump downplays ‘only 5 people in the U.S.’
Trump’s most frequent accusation against the WHO is tied to Jan. 30. That’s when the WHO declared COVID-19 a “public health emergency of international concern,” while also explicitly refusing to recommend travel restrictions to prevent it from spreading out of China.
“The Committee does not recommend any travel or trade restriction based on the current information available,” the WHO said in a statement that day.
Trump reportedly received two dire warnings from his aides around this time. Peter Navarro, Trump’s economic adviser, warned that the virus could infect 100 million Americans and kill between 1-2 million of them, according to Navarro’s Jan. 29 memo obtained by Axios. Azar also warned Trump about the virus on Jan. 30, but the president dismissed the warning as “alarmist,” the New York Times reports.
Trump publicly downplayed the threat on Twitter, saying that he was working closely with China and others on the threat.
“Only 5 people in the U.S., all in good recovery,” he tweeted.
Working closely with China and others on Coronavirus outbreak. Only 5 people in U.S., all in good recovery.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 30, 2020
January 31 — Trump bars travellers from China
Trump issued an executive order barring visitors to the U.S. who
had been to China within the previous 14 days. The order included
carve-outs for U.S. residents, citizens and their family members.
This is the move Trump frequently refers to when he talks about his supposedly unprecedented response to the virus.
February 10-19 — Trump claims the virus will go away ‘miraculously’
Speaking at a rally in New Hampshire, Trump floated the notion that the virus will simply vanish.
“By April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away,” he said.
He repeated that claim on Feb. 19 at a meeting with a group of governors to discuss the threat.
“I think it’s going to work out fine,” he said. “I think when we get into April, in the warmer weather, that has a very negative effect on that and that type of a virus.”

February 24 — Coronavirus ‘under control’ despite plunging stock market
Trump tried to calm investors spooked by the threat of the virus
on Feb. 24.
“The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA,” he tweeted. “We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

February 25 — Trump congratulates himself for closing borders to China
Trump applauded his own response to the coronavirus on Twitter and during his trip to India on Feb. 25.
“You may ask about the coronavirus, which is very well under control in our country,” Trump told reporters in India, according to the White House. “We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are — in all cases, I have not heard anything other.”
He claimed on Twitter that his administration and the CDC were doing a “GREAT” job of handling the virus.
CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus, including the very early closing of our borders to certain areas of the world. It was opposed by the Dems, “too soon”, but turned out to be the correct decision. No matter how well we do, however, the…..

February 26 — Trump accuses the media of hyping up the virus to make him look bad
Trump accused MSNBC and CNN of doing everything they could to make him look bad in the fight against the “Caronavirus,” in a misspelled tweet.
“USA in great shape!” he said.
Low Ratings Fake News MSDNC (Comcast) & @CNN are doing everything possible to make the Caronavirus look as bad as possible, including panicking markets, if possible. Likewise their incompetent Do Nothing Democrat comrades are all talk, no action. USA in great shape! @CDCgov…..

February 26-27 — Trump claims the virus will disappear, is no worse than the flu
“It’s going to disappear,” Trump said at a White House briefing on Feb. 27. “One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
Trump also started comparing the virus to the death toll from the flu, and suggested that the country doesn’t react when the flu kills many people each year.
He repeated the claim several times throughout March.
So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!

February 28 — The ‘new hoax’ and ‘hysteria’
Speaking at a campaign rally in South Carolina, Trump claimed the media was in “hysteria mode” around the coronavirus, and that his Democratic opponents were trying to use the virus against him.
“This is their new hoax,” he said.
March 6 — It came ‘out of nowhere’
The U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) flagged the virus as a potential issue back on Jan. 8.
Trump visited the CDC in Atlanta on March 6, and claimed in a speech that the virus was a surprise.
“What a problem,” he said. “Came out of nowhere.”
March 7 — ‘I’m not concerned at all’
Trump downplayed the threat of the virus spreading in the United States on March 7, during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort with Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
“No, I’m not concerned at all. No, I’m not. No, we’ve done a great job.”
March 11 — WHO declares a pandemic, Trump bans travel from Europe to stop ‘foreign virus’
Trump closed the U.S. borders to European travellers and blamed the European Union for the spread of the virus in a televised national address from the Oval Office.
He made the address after the WHO declared the virus a pandemic.
“We made a lifesaving move with early action on China,” Trump said. “Now we must take the same action with Europe.”
March 13 — ‘I don’t take responsibility at all’
Trump declared a national emergency in the face of the coronavirus, while downplaying widely reported issues with testing for COVID-19 within the U.S.
“I don’t take responsibility at all,” he said, when asked about the testing failures.
March 16 — Coronavirus will ‘wash through’ in the summer
Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room that the virus might simply go away in the summer.
“So it could be right in that period of time where it, I say, wash — it washes through. Other people don’t like that term. But where it washes through.”
March 17 — Trump ‘felt’ it was a pandemic all along
The WHO declared the COVID-19 disease to be a pandemic on March 17.
“This is a pandemic,” Trump told reporters outside the White House, in response to the WHO.
“I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
He also dismissed questions about his comments from the past, including the notion that it would “wash through” just one day earlier.
“No, I’ve always viewed it as very serious,” Trump said. “There was no difference yesterday from days before. I feel the tone is similar, but some people said it wasn’t.”
He repeated that defence on Twitter the following day.
I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the “borders” from China – against the wishes of almost all. Many lives were saved. The Fake News new narrative is disgraceful & false!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 18, 2020
March 24 — ‘Raring to go by Easter’
In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he would “love to have the country opened up and just raring to go by Easter.”
Trump expressed frustration over the economic damage being caused by sweeping lockdowns, and started rolling out a new talking point that the “cure cannot be worse” than the disease.
Our people want to return to work. They will practice Social Distancing and all else, and Seniors will be watched over protectively & lovingly. We can do two things together. THE CURE CANNOT BE WORSE (by far) THAN THE PROBLEM! Congress MUST ACT NOW. We will come back strong!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 24, 2020
He eventually backed off his target of re-opening the economy by Easter, and is now talking about May 1 for some states.
April 13 — ‘Total’ authority over re-opening the economy
Trump lashed out at a coalition of governors who said they would work together to re-open their states’ economies when the time is right. The president claimed “total” authority to make that decision himself, and later suggested that the governors were “mutineers” for trying to decide for themselves.
“When somebody is president of the United States, the authority is total,” Trump falsely claimed at a White House coronavirus briefing. “The governors know that.”
The governors argued otherwise, led by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Apr. 14.
“We didn’t have King George Washington, and we don’t have King Trump,” Cuomo said. “We have President Trump.”
April 14 — WHO’s to blame
Trump followed through on an earlier threat to pull funding from the WHO over its response to the virus on Apr. 14. He accused the international body of mismanaging the response and failing to disclose “credible” information about human-to-human transmission in December. He also suggested that the WHO was too sympathetic to China in its response.
Trump accused the WHO of obscuring facts and spreading misinformation, without mentioning any of his own past comments on the virus.
“It would have been so easy to be truthful,” he said.

It's the same everywhere: There are surplus deaths everywhere there's been
an outbreak, that may eventually be attributed to coronavirus.
Santa Clara, CA, has complete autopsies on people who died at home, and
their first coronavirus death is now recorded as February 6.

1) I've thought Trump was xenophobic and racist for years.
2) I think you're an idiot because you believe Trump stopped travel from
China.

Actually, that was your question: You asked my opinion on a specific point,
and I answered generally.
> The question IS do you think he was wrong shutting down travel from China
> to the US ???????
That was not the question you asked.
The answer to your second attempt at the question is: Yes. He was wrong
because it was too little, and too late. Too little because more than
40,000 people travelled from China to the US after Trump's "travel ban".
Too late because Trump announced his ban on January 31st, but the CDC had
announced its first public alert on January 8th ... as many as 300,000
people travelled from China between those two dates.
Sorry magatard ... that's all the answers you get for now.
