    Sensible mitigation - masks, distancing, washing hands, whatever
    Protect vulnerable populations
    Clear governmental communication - don't inject needless hysteria
    Avoid punitive measures - invites resistance & partisan energy
    Strengthen health care capacity
    Develop pharmacological prophylaxis - but don't rely
    Study history - Sadly, epidemics run a certain course that weº only have a certain degree of control over

    Or just let the media and local governments put everyone in hysterics, throw millions out of work, cause uncounted deaths from other causes, lie about stats in order to justify the actions taken, move the goal posts several times, give inconsistent messages, give up to the minute death counts, silence those with a different approach or thoughts. Toss in a race war and allow nightly riots because it's protected speech and saw things like racism is bigger public health threat than the virus. And cheer for more death and economic misery in order to move a political ideology.

    That's worked well.
    Top that off with a leader who is in way over his head and scared to take responsibility for anything that might damage his brand name.

    How is Trump in over his head? What does he need to take responsibility for that he's afraid will damage his brand name?

    I've given my opinion on that many tims. Trump treated it as an electoral politics issue in March, thereby feeding the oppositional energy (which would have existed anyway to a degree) and taking attention anyway from nuts & bolts governance and response efforts.

    Responsible efforts?

    Please expand. What are the “responsible efforts” Trump failed to make?

    I learned he’s a xenophobe from Biden for shutting down flights from China.

    Now get out there and enjoy Chinese NY. Don’t be a xenophobe and don’t wear a mask.

    Is this when the NYC Health Director and deBlasio were encouraging people to get out and about? Why yes, it was. Totally Trump’s fault!

    In my view, it was a failure of leadership at all level. Trump on down.

    The media tells them everything is Trumps fault. It must be so!
