This isn't due to Trump. This is how our government reacts to any disaster. Remember Katrina ?
Hurricane Andrew ? Walmart got there before our government.
Only Walmart can't come rescue this time.
Our Federal system comes with its own challenges, with separate public health infrastructure in the 50 states. We were never going to be able to match the Chinese effort - in part because they were dealing with one hotspot (Wuhan / Hubei) supporting it from the rest of the nation. We will be facing multiple incoming infectious streams. If, however, there is a time to be different - to mount a massive, coordinated effort THIS is the time.
It will not, however, happen - probably under any POTUS in our fractured political system. But along with our federated system and the virus and a soon-to-be overwhelmed medical infrastructure there is yet one other factor working against a coordinated effort - and that is Trump.
Well, you’re also discounting their whole authoritarian communist government thing. Plus, they aren’t exactly caring about human rights. Here in the US, it’s a bit more complicated to do such a thing. That’s just the reality of the situation. Hell, just a few weeks ago, Democrats were screaming about Trump banning arrivals from China and now people like you on the left are advocating for shutting down whole cities communist style? That’s an odd flex.

Denver councilwomen Candi CdeBaca: ‘If I do get Coronavirus I’m attending every MAGA rally I can’
Liberal Denver city council member is encouraging people to go to President Trump's rallies with coronavirus.
Rather than President Trump's positive and unifying messge, liberals like the council member in Denver go negative and partisan.
President Trump's rallies are incredibly positive and uplifting events where our commander and chief focuses on his accomplishments and talks about his plans for his next 4 years as President.
She is shameful with her negativity with those who she disagrees with.
The negative rhetoric out of liberals is truely amazing these days. Rather than joining President Trump to unite the country, she and many liberals are using negative rhetoric.
God help you if you are male, older, a cancer patient, immune-compromised, or a smoker.
And best of luck if you're a health care worker or first responder. Half the first responders to Life Care Health Facility in WA are now showing symptoms of the virus.
Italian docs and health care workers also sick.
Just sayin'.
