The "liberal way of handling COVID" is to rely on this thing called science.
Science, leadership, communication and preparation.
On April 3 when the CDC said to wear masks Trump said he would not. This started the anti mask movement.
We heard on the Woodward tape that Trump new how dangerous this virus was. Trump not only withheld this information but went the opposite way and downplayed it.
Trump said the cupboard was left bare PPE supplies yet he had 3 years to restock it.
Trump confused the country with his misinformation campaign during his initial Coronavirus press conferences. He should have let the experts do the talking like every other country did.
Trump shut down travel from China(sort of) but he allowed 40K foreign nationals back into the country. The virus had already been in the US for two weeks. He did this BTW after 45 other countries had already shut down travel from China. Six weeks later he shut down European travel long after the virus had already reached our shores.
He cut the CDC presence in china by two thirds. He ended the pandemic early warning program.
He ignored numerous warnings from previous Presidents, Fauci, Azar etc. He refused to take meeting initially regarding the threat.
Lets not forget Trump just a month ago making fun of this outbreak...covid! covid! covid! he screamed at his packed rallies. Look at us now.
This list of his pathetic handling of the pandemic could go on and on.
