Dear Always,
The USA is just now getting the pandemic under control. We should have been at this point a year ago. Battling back a plague has been successfully for centuries. That the most advanced and wealthiest country had to wait for a vaccine, is ludicrous. I doubt Trump as well as a lot of this countries leaders, still have any idea that happened.
Total numbers on this virus will always look similar due to the large scale. Look at the number of failing hospitals for a better feel of the true effects of various policies.
