    Leadership on display



    Source: John Hopkins University

    (Lines for China and South Korea would look roughly similar to Japan’s.)

    Most other high-income countries are dealing with modest numbers of new cases — often an inevitable consequence of reopening — and the countries are responding aggressively. Many are following the advice of public health experts, ordering social distancing, mask-wearing and partial lockdowns and doing their best to track people who came in contact with new patients.

    Assuming this is another of your TDS tantrums, are you advocating for federally forced lockdowns? I need a little more if I'm going to get engaged with your rage.

    There is no rage---sorry to disappoint you.

    If you find trump to your liking---carry on.

    He did give up a day of golfing to come back in.

    Guess the tweeting of the video had to be contained, along with the denials on Russia's bounty.

    Or maybe he's working on that health care he promised. Be great to have that in place if ACA goes down. Or maybe he's just hiding in the bunker?

    Ok, so exactly which leadership failed? The feds have been failing public health forever......ask any Indian.

    I'm not sure what exactly we should be discussing? Trump didn't cause this and didn't ruin the economy so old guys with less than a 1% chance of dieing could be safe. Did he?

    I assume your question is rhetorical.

    Nope. Wondering what you think the role of the feds should be in enforcing public health policy/directives. Not sure I have ever seen you articulate your vision. If your post is another about the behavior of the chief executive, then yeah there is no point in a discussion. When the medical chops of candidates are a primary consideration, it's too late anyway.

    You cannot disconnect trump's behavior from demonstrating the leadership's role in dismissing science (ie medicine) in combating this pandemic. It has been denial at every turn in the road.

    The NE is on the way back while more "progressive" areas are not.

    Trump seems to be losing voters as he loses the fight against Covid 19. It's amazing to watch our leader set himself on fire rather than present a health plan that works.

    I am not saying this with any malice, but I believe trump is incapable of an admission to anything other than his own self professed greatness.
