The left have been touting Europe, Europe, Europe for months now and now with more waves coming it gets more and more obvious every day that there really isn't a way to stop the virus. Those who did more than the US are now finding out that it was all for naught and they are right back where they started, even worse.

Prevention measures alone were never going to stop the virus entirely. The idea was to flatten the curve so hospitalizations are manageable. Thus far, spikes in Europe started when people went on holiday this summer, and now that things are opening up across Europe as things go back to normal. The difference there from a leadership perspective is the prevention measures weren't as big of a political issue as they were here, and there's been continual surges since the beginning of the pandemic.

The question for European countries now is how to handle the rise in cases by keeping those who cause it (seemingly young people in Italy) from spreading it to the vulnerable. That's a problem in country like Italy where multigenerational homes are fairly common, so it's likely there will be another spike in deaths as well. As for it being all for naught, there was no way around it because if the spikes in cases leads to high mortality counts, things were going to be a crap show either way.

You only say this because you're just fine with 200,000 dead Americans. Yet you people still won't shut up about Benghazi, when a grand total of four Americans died.

"Pro-life," my ass. 🖕

Many parts of Europe have the same right wing thinking idiots that we have here. As soon as restrictions were slightly lifted, the science deniers acted just like Covid doesn't exist. Hence the third wave. The reason they did much better than we did in the beginning was because they imposed very strict guidelines with attached penalty's. We never did that here.

Lets face it, no one wants to be shut in or have to wear masks all the time. But if we don't, Covid will go on for a real long time. You know who you are, and can be blamed for this extension of Covid.

The VIRUS killed them (along with pre-existing diseases). You expected the US president to have magic healing powers like Jesus?

Of all the shit one can criticize Hillary for that had to be the weakest.

All of the major first world countries knew that a second wave was coming and have plans to deal with them.

The US never managed the first wave, so the second will be all the more devastating.

All the more reason for a change of management, given the failure of the Trump Administration to date.

”Frankly no, I take no responsibility at all” is hardly a clarion call to address a nation crisis.

Your president deliberately downplayed the virus because he was selfishly concerned about his reelection prospects. Hundreds of thousands of dead Americans mean nothing to him and his cult.
 
Trump has done an awful job. Absurd that we're pretending this is even in question. Every second he infests the Oval Office, more American lives are put at risk.

Unfortunately your position that "The best thing to have done was to nothing because nothing was going to stop all of the deaths" makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

It is precisely that "doing nothing" (i.e. premature and blanket ending of the preventive/ameliorative measures) that is causing the "up tick" in the US deaths.
 
Europe is going into it’s current wave coming from a much lower baseline of cases than the US.

I don’t understand the need to go on vacation during a pandemic. People are unwilling to sacrifice now for a better future. This is why so many people are gonna retire poor.

And, your position is that Ms. Clinton should have been personally present and shooting down the people who had taken over the embassy - is it?

Or is it that you are faulting Ms. Clinton for a lack of leadership rather than the actual deaths themselves?

If so, exactly how do manage to excuse the level of Mr. Trump's leadership with respect to COVID-19 without giggling uncontrollably?

You need to define "all for naught" because you seem to be conflating what they did months ago with whats going on now. Please elaborate. Oh, and try to contain your glee that thousands may die. And fyi, when our current death the last 5 months is triple Sweden who did nothing is just not the "trump did nothing wrong" reality you think it is. the fact is if trump had actually done nothing we'd be better off.

Maybe, since it's a president who claims to know more about ISIS than the generals. Perhaps he knows more about healing powers than Jesus?

I suspect it's less about the "science deniers" and really more about younger people wanting to get back into their normal routines; along with others who are also tired of the continued restrictions. That's not to say it's a reason to forgo the measures, but it's likely those are the folks who are mainly responsible for the new surge. We've seen scenarios where the spread can be contained and managed without large scale spikes, but policies are only effective when there's a good share of compliance.

In my earlier post I mentioned things being a crapshoot either way, which doesn't mean I think nothing should have been done; quite the contrary. I meant that things were going to be hard either way because the pandemic was going to have a large impact societally and economically. In my opinion, it was just about managing the severity of it. In no scenario do I believe life would have gone on as normal with a pandemic spreading uncontrolled throughout the country.
 
People died from this virus in many other countries. Were they killed by the leaders who failed to protect them from it?

Well if you can point out which of their leaders politized wearing a mask, social distancing, partial shutdowns and treating it like a deadly infectious disease then you can definitively say they contributed greatly to the death rate. Speaking of death rates, look how we are the worst country of the 19 rich countries with populations over 5 million since the summer. You remember, it was supposed to magically disappear then.

We have 5% of the world's population and over 20% of its death. Your president's negligence is the reason for that.

Europe locked down for a long time and now they are surging again. The only way to beat this is for the entire world to lock down completely until there are almost no cases anymore. This includes no going to the grocery, no going anywhere. No work, no nothing. This would bring on a depression that would make the 1930's look like an economic boom and everyone on the planet would suffer for a very long time. This is not acceptable. Once you realize this is the only way to currently stop the virus you realize there is no way to stop the virus other than what we are already doing.

Ummmmmmmmm, they are not dealing with the virus, that's why it is surging everywhere.

He didn't downplay the virus at all. While he wasn't panicking Americans, he was working hard to deal with it the best he could without sending the US into a Great Depression.

Trump has done the Biden plan. The Biden plan is what Trump is already doing.
 
Yes they ****ing did.
What they ****ing knew was that you don't bring on a Great Depression destroying everyone's lives in order to fight a virus that only effects 2.5%of the population and kills less than 1%. It's crazy to destroy 100% of American's lives in order to stop 2.5% from getting the virus.
