If Trump (and MANY doctors and recovering patients) claimed Hydroxychloroquine showed great promise in helping patients survive and recover from wuhan flu than a bare minimum of 3 Democrat Governors would issue mandates BANNING doctors from prescribing it for Wuhan Flu. True story, the party of "its between a woman and her doctor...PERIOD" now wants to practice medicine.
So the bottom country on that graph is japan. With 1400 cases and 44 deaths its over a 3% death rate and 6.7% infected rate. U.S. is at a .28% infected rate and 1.5% death rate. I would say that link is EXTREMELY misleading at best.
Edit: South Korea has comparable numbers to the U.S. but looks WAY better on that link. In the end we will have a higher percentage of cases than south korea, but that is due to many factors. In the end, we are doing better than most of the world at this, and as a top tourist destination in the world, we were over exposed.
If Trump made one big mistake it was not banning ALL international travel the day he banned travel from China. They called him names as it was, but truth is he didn't go far enough.
Lots of theories on NBA mid June, MLB til Xmas.

.Spain reported its biggest spike in coronavirus cases as bodies were transported to an ice rink in Madrid, which has been transformed into a provisional morgue to help relieve the pressure on hospitals and stretched funeral parlors.
Large scale testing to quarantine the infected worked pretty well in S. Korea. Banning all travel might have given us another week or two, but we did very little to prepare once the threat was known, which was more than a few weeks. Could have gotten the same benefit by taking decisive action early.
but we are a free country and we don't quarantine people against their will. Argue if we should or not, we don't. If Trump had tried that....well, I can only imagine the outrage. All this crap that is said in hindsight trying to bash Trump is just that, CRAP. The few measures he did take, the media and left were all over him for. No, the correct answer was to ban international travel when he banned travel from China. Other countries allowed china to rampantly come in and infect them. Italy is way pissed at china for allowing it (not taking any blame themselves for not stopping it). As it spread undetected to other countries and we still allowed their citizens here, it slowly got here. We could have avoided most of it with an international travel ban by Feb. 1st.
Even now, when Trump is suggesting a travel ban in/out of NY and NJ people are losing their ever flipping minds. Absolutely I don't want people from the hotbed of the virus in the U.S. coming to my state and frolicking around. FFS people we either need to suspend civil liberties (which no one should be in favor of), or accept this is going to kill the infirm and the incredibly stupid who won't follow protocols. Personally I think this country needs a good enema.
Trump shut down China flights like 1/30. It was a month too late. And lib media said it was unnecessary...
You think it’s an opinion that the media roasted trump on the travel ban?
Or is the efficacy of a travel ban being beneficial being an opinion?
Self quarantining and social distancing are certainly popular opinions on how to bend the curve. Are those wrong too?
Get a grip. And if you think I’m a trump voter you’d be surprised. I hate both parties equally.
Furthermore I tried multiple times to steer this thread to sports and it meanders back to whatever ppl believe (and their opinions).
