Insightful article in the Guardian on how the U.S. reacted, vs how South Korea reacted.
Covid-19 hit South Korea on January 20, the same day as it hit the US. The responses by the governments couldn’t have been more different. South Korea is doing fine now and it is right next to China!
Since January 20, everything that has happened, is happening, and will happen in the U.S. is the direct result of a vacuum of leadership.
The cratering of the Dow. The permanent loss of millions of small businesses. And the thousands that will die are absolutely, unquestionably, blood on his hands.
And all of these deaths are not “God’s will” or “nature’s way,” but were 100% avoidable.
Since 2016, one of the gravest concerns many of us had was how would Trump react (or not) to an actual crisis, as opposed to reaping the rewards of a stable economy that Obama had granted him.
Now we know. He has finally stamped his legacy on America. Just because the man is too cowardly to even get in a fistfight, it is not hyperbole to assert that he will have murdered more Americans than any other American in the history of our country, joining the ranks of Genghis Khan, Timur, Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-tung, Pol Pot, and Idi Amin in the ranks of history’s greatest murderers.
Aside from a partial travel ban of China, it could be stated firmly that Trump did everything possible to help spread Coronavirus as quickly as possible, at least until he could no longer in the face of overwhelming facts.
Ignorance is no excuse.
