One month ago, nobody could predict for sure how bad it would get. Making people panic unnecessarily would not have been the wise thing to do.
Trump's response has been proper for the most part.
And yet which other world leader went in front of their citizens and lied about how dangerous & contagious it was? How quickly they'd eradicate it? How quickly you'd be continuing your regular life?
We will see if that those polling numbers hold as the number of cases starts to spike, particularly in pro-Trump areas. He told everyone that we we have "fantastic control" over it 10 days ago. When people start losing loved ones to it, they might not be so supportive of his approach compared to today.
The hardest hit are blue states to far. California, New York and Washington have the highest infection rates. Plus large swathes of Blue states and "must win states" like Michigan and PA are having the same problem.
If this is a political issue, let's see how NY, Cali, and Washington St Governors, Senators, State Senators, Mayors and City Council people deal with the blow back, if they receive any blame for the populations that they govern.

Well I live in California and the difference is that our governments, state and local, are grappling with the issues at hand instead of finger pointing and trying to make it a PR thing. I'd wish that Trump would do the same instead of spewing out misinformation and getting upset at reporters.
And what do you want him to do? Wave his magic wand and make it all go away? Get a grip.
Nothing he can do now. The window has passed for him to suppress this outbreak. He screwed up and we were unprepared. Now we pay the price. But hey, you know he told us not to worry about anything and that he had this under control.
