    It wasn’t just a couple Fauci quotes. WHO pushed the China narrative that the virus wouldn’t spread via human to human interaction in mid January. Many medical pundits claimed this virus was nothing more than the flu in February.

    There were many people that underestimated this virus when it first became news, but most the blame should be squarely on China and WHO.

    Yes, the misinformation out of China misled people, and it took a little bit of time for that to be corrected.

    Well, not clear why the WHO would be to blame if China was lying to them, other than for foolishly believing them. I don't see any evidence the WHO deliberately deceived anyone?

    However... China and the WHO are external to the US, and thus mostly out of our control. Our president, however, is elected by us.

    Nothing you said here, even if 100% true, excuses Trump from underestimating and ignoring the threat far longer than anyone else. Or for refusing to take any responsibility for addressing the issue, even now.

    In my view Blasio is just as guilty as Trumpy as he was critical of stoping flights from China & Europe and was publicly outspoken about it nit being that much of a threat. There is enough bad judgement out there to cross political lines, even red ones.

    Yes, de Blasio has been pretty awful. However, he's "only" mayor of NYC, he's not president of the USA. Most of us don't live in NYC, and thus are not to blame for electing him.

    Glad that the mayor got no traction whatsoever in the democratic primaries.

    Yes, this crisis has been very useful for making clear who is competent and who is not, regardless of ideology. I've mentioned before Mike DeWine of Ohio as a republican that I think has done a good job.

    100% agree

    Okay, I was straw manning that statement, but them being gullible was a pretty devastating mistake for all world leaders counting on WHO for direction.

    I would never say this administration doesn't have some blame in this regard. At least knowingly. The CDC dropped the ball in the beginning stages. Trump should of took control about 3 weeks earlier.

    I will make no excuse for the administration dropping the ball. What I won't do is blame the administration for everything that happened. This has been the recent narrative the media are trying to push right now. Most other European Countries, excluding Italy started their mitigation strategy "after" the US.

    I don't think anybody is blaming trump for "everything", whatever that means

    and it's misleading to say the US acted before other countries, because the US has taken almost no action on the federal level. It's been the states that have taken actions and implemented policy (yeah, I know, air-flights from China blahblahblah)

    if there are any lights at the end of American tunnels it's because of governors and the people accepting the necessities of social distancing and closing non-essential businesses. That's been despite trump, not because of him. But of course he's busy trying to claim credit for what governors have done and pushing for premature ends to policies that are working

    False... maybe tl/dr, but you can fact check every event easily.

    Well, of course not. That happened too, but figured that everyone has seen those things. The Media and Leftists have been pushing those statements like a crack dealer.
