Question for all you Trump bashers...
Is every country that's in the same boat as us regarding this virus just as incompetent and ill prepared as you claim our President is?

I do not like our Govt at all. They botched every major issue since election and Scummo can be singled out as imcompetent all round. However on this Virus issue he has yet to put a toot really wrong and has already gotten two economice recovery packages through parliament at completely odds with his paries policies, when NOT over promising relief on the medical front and mostly working with the states to be proactive in quarantine measures. This thing is impacting us. But we feel informed and apart from the usual gangs of idiots who "arent going to let a little cold upset their social lives" most understand why they are being told what to do.
So No. we are not in the same boat as Trumpland and VERY happy not to be on that cruise.

@whowasthatmaskedman For what it's worth, I'm glad you're not here too. Don't need any more nay sayers.
I'm glad to hear your report that Australia is doing well.
The media reports are not as cheerie -
Australia will close food outlets at shopping centers, place limits on weddings and funerals and ban overseas travel, the government said on Tuesday, after a jump in the number of coronavirus infections.
But, I'm sure you're right and they're wrong.

@Budwick Glad to see you picked up the right point. Our somewhat severe response is to prevent the spread. and keep people uninfected. Further, the financial deels will ease the burden on mortgages and provide some economic funding for the poor and those self employed and casual workers. Its not great. But it will hopefully help us dodge the rolling medical disater America has coming. Look to NY in a week or two. Fortunately I doubt anyone will allow Trump to go through with his suicidal idea of relaxing social distance rules.

@whowasthatmaskedman Just so you are clear - The states govern themselves for the most part on this virus issue. NYC has a dark blue democrat mayor. If they are having unusual problems I would blame it on over crowding and poor leadership.
And as far as relaxing social distancing rules are concerned - again, governors have a greater role in that kind of stuff. In Ohio - there is a mandatory Stay at Home rule in effect. Trump had nothing to do with that. You are a half world away. Be careful where you sling blame over here. Sounds like you have enough problems where you're at.

@Budwick We agree. We certainly dont need your problems. And the states being self governing was precisely the idea I had in mind when I said saner heads would prevail over Trump regarding these distance rules. I doubt even the reddest of states are bad enough at maths to let that one pass.
In the end though it is about compliance, So the ignorant and stupid will carry on as usual while the cautious will stay home.. Who knows, it may end up lifting the average of the average American and thin the herd of Trump supporters.
