I'm not going to read it. The Atlantic is very liberal and extremely biased against Trump. What I do know is that had Biden been president at this time, he would have a) kept the flights coming in from China (wouldn't want to look xenophobic), b) not been able to cut through all the government red tape to get testing kits made and out in record time (we've tested in 8 days the same number that took S. Korea 8 weeks), and c) not pulled together the brilliant minds from private industry to all pull together in developing PPEs, researching treatment drugs, and developing a vaccine.
And the American people KNOW it. They see it every day when Trump holds his press conferences. That's why the liberal WaPo asked that the pressers not be covered. They reveal how well Trump is handling this.
Good gravy you lie.
We’ve done ten percent of the testing South Korea has...
Ten percent...
We’ve tested 100 people per million. South Korea over 5000 per million.
What Americans see is business and states having to act on their own because the White House is incompetent.
The potus is just a man- not infallible - People have different opinions, best to rely on facts. I myself like timelines. When things were done or weren't and why. Most of you are jumping on China for holding secrets- we have them too.
but the "Trumpette Defenders" in instant response, are impressive!

what we see is the system working as designed. we have always been a nation where the local response mattered.
We see the federal response being active. 60% according to Gallop think the President is doing a good job. America wants its businesses and states to stand up. That is what makes us far greater than the top down heavy handed governments around the world.
Where'd OP go? Is she not going to argue her point?
I'm here, I'm working today, so not on all day, every day.
I absolutely agree it is a biased piece, and is an opinion piece (i thought i wrote that in my OP, but didn't)
That said, if you look at what it says, and what the POTUS has done for 4+ decades, it seems pretty realistic to me.
Yes, it is definitely biased, and sensationalized, but also based on past experience, not some fictitious "what if" future.
I didn't expect people who refuse to even read it or CONSIDER another perspective to agree. It's there for those who choose to click.
Hope you have a great day, and stay healthy. I also hope you are paying attention to Dr. Fauci and the scientists, we are still in the very early phases. Trump's miracle is not coming before Easter, I'm sorry to say.

Good gravy, out with the "you lie" stuff. (I wish there was a rule that posters cannot say "you lie" to others simply because they disagree.)
S. Korea got a jump start on us, having the problem earlier. We are now exceeding their rate of testing - having tested as many people in the last 8 days as they've tested in 8 weeks.
You are determined to show that Trump is not handling this well - some liberals are so desperate to hide how well he's doing that they don't want his pressers being transmitted to the American people - that you will jump on whatever to try to "prove" how bad Trump is. Even the World Health Organization came out and praised him.
Face it. This event will NOT be Trump's defeat, despite the characters on CNN gleefully predicting it to be so.

what you fail to grasp is that even if we stipulate every single thing you and this article think of Donald Trump, and I for one am not willing to say the article is entirely without merit....
He is still far better than the offerings from your side.
In terms of policy and direction for the country, this so-call narcisist is miles and miles better than your best.
YOU dont get it. Donald Trump is about how aweful we know your side is. Donald Trump is about how terrible your policy positions are.

China reported it to the WHO on 12/31/19. Trump denied it was a thing until early March, then got on board with reality for a couple days, and is now back to denying science.
THere's your timeline. (I am pretty sure we agree...)
