The federal government has absolutely failed us.

I agree the shutdown wasn't necessary. I thought you agreed with the Trump/Fauci shutdown. Glad to see you're on my side.

Trump didn't shutdown anything because he has no idea what to do lol It was the states that had to take charge. Ok, I give up.

They appear to be counting deaths as the coronavirus almost regardless of what actually caused it around that area of the country.
Yes they are doing that ALL OVER THE WORLD..... NO ONE SHOULD TRUST THE NUMBERS!!

Those numbers are both statistically inflated and pumped for othr reasons, see Governor Cuomo's Role in Nursing Home Covid Carnage.

It's not all over the world. Italy has UNDERcounted by thousands. If you doubt it - head over there to help out.

The virus prefers and lives longer in cool cloudy areas. All of our warm states (Cali, Hawaii, Zona, Texas, Florida,...) except one (Louisiana) had vey low rates of death. Louisiana mistakenly threw a drunken party in February and invited the Chinese which would explain them being the only exception perhaps.

When you leave things to the states the way you should, you'll end up with mixed results based on the quality of the leadership. In NY they have the most embarrassingly poor leadership in the country, and we're seeing the results of that as they single-handedly drag down the averages for the entire country. In more competent parts of the country, we've had a lot of success due to their state and local leadership.

I get why those in New York wish Trump had gone the dictator route rather than allowing things to be handled by the people they voted for at the state and local level, but it was for the best for the overall country. Perhaps they should vote for more competent people in the future if they are unhappy with how the state and local leaders bungled the response.
