Why US has one of the worst coronavirus handlings (Part I)
On the eve of the 2020 presidential election (2020–11–02), the US’ coronavirus mortality rate is among the top 5% in the world.
Yes, China was responsible for the initial spread of the virus — possible accidental lab leak of the virus, suppression of early infection information, allowing international traffic out of the initial epicenter Wuhan, and strong opposition to travel restrictions on China through its controlled WHO.
The responses of Taiwan, S. Korea, Japan, etc. and the early responses of Czechia, Germany, Slovakia, etc. have shown the coronavirus can be controlled at a low burning level without draconian lockdowns. If properly handled, the coronavirus can be controlled to a level equivalent to superflu with total fatalities below 100K instead of marching toward 300K.
The US has done a lot of great things in dealing with the coronavirus, but handling the virus properly demands the right action in every step.
