KiKi III wrote: » I don't know. The best case scenario according to Trump is 100,000 deaths. If each of those people has 100 people they interact with regularly (extended family, friends, colleagues, local community) that's TEN MILLION people (correct me if my maths is wrong?) who will directly know someone who died as a result of a crisis Trump managed poorly. If it ends up being 200,000 that's 20 million. For most people, that will hit home more than any political message from any side.

They see the spin from democrats and the media spin but they didn't buy it along the way and they are not buying it now either, particularly given that as more and more facts come out we are seeing that Trump was right about certain calls he made and which the dems/media lambasted him for. Mostly though, what I am hearing (and seeing) is that those who support Trump and who were happy with the job he had been doing before this crisis began (with regards to keeping the promises he made on the campaign trail) is that they are furious with how the democrats behaved early on, labelling Trump a racist when he called for the travel restrictions from China for example, at the behest of Dr. Fauci, and how dems in congress like Pelosi then went to Chinatown and called for Americans to come on down, clearly an act done just to spite Donald Trump and which for sure put American lives at risk.

Then we have Biden who the WaPo agree it's "Fair to speculate whether Biden is mentally fit for president". The virtual coinflip betting shops have this at right is nothing short of a joke in my opinion.

And when your, and other European countries, come asking for help, due to consequences arising with the pandemic, from the US I’m sure we’ll find it in our hearts and pocketbooks to oblige.
kilns wrote: » So you think your country was ok even before this pandemic? A country where a woman who gives birth is not entitled to maternity leave by law. I wonder what country you share that honour with, take a guess. And a political system which is so corrupted with money and special interests it would make even even some tin pot corrupt countries blush I could go on and on. No country is perfect but the US is way down the list. The one thing that keeps the USA a force in the world is the dollar, take that away and their strength dwindles You have a lot to fix and I dont think an egomaniac conman is the answer and for that fact nor is Biden but the one thing going for him he wont let his ego drive policy

If you consider blocking flights from a single country to be "decisive action" in a Pan(the clue is in the name)demic, I guess we'll have to wait and see if this "decisive action" had the desired effect. It might work and keep the virus out of the the United States or it might be like stopping one child from pissing into the septic tank in the hopes that that the stink goes away.
