A very interesting narrative from the BBC on the reaction to Covid-19 in the USA vs many other countries, and how some States have handled it differently inside the USA. I didn't realize the huge difference the timelines to reaction has made, even though I was aware of it as background knowledge. This 7:20 minute video clearly shows what worked, what didn't and why, without the usual baggage that comes to the situation, and makes it a debate.

I hope most people find it nuanced, and informational.

Yeah right! You're trolling again to get the thread started on how Trump did nothing right. We know your game plan now norm - time to switch it up.

So basically the CDC sucks

I watched the video. It talks about speed of lockdown being the number 1 factor.
That completly ignores california.
They were one of the first to lockdown and have had one of the strictest lockdowns.
Look at them now - all they did is delay the problem.

Monday morning quarterbacking from the team that would have hollered about Trump no matter what measures he took.
Pointless.

Yep. And if Hillary was President and had done the same exact thing - none of them would have criticized her for it.

Yet, South Korea and Taiwan knew the right game plan from the start and all we had to do was copy them. Would have been very limited lockdowns.

You would have.

Just imagine three trillion dollar deficits under Obama.

headlines in the alternate universe where she’s President:

“Hands-Off, Trusting Approach by Feds saves countless lives, lets U.S. Governors shine”
