I guess I am just getting testy after seeing weeks of trending hashtags like "#TrumpGenocide", and plenty of others similar... when any sane person knows that if Trump had immediately taken this seriously and put the country on lockdown, the exact same people crying about how he didn't respond strongly like South Korea, would be crying about how Trump is a dictator crushing all of our rights in a rise to power similar to the Third Reich. Can you imagine the reaction if he locked down millions of people and used the police/military to keep them in their homes like they did in China?

I mean, it's a huge problem with thousands of people dying and people were STILL going to beaches for Spring Break, coughing on people/food in stores on purpose, and generally just being assholes ignoring the threat (is there anything more frustrating in this outbreak than trying to talk sense into your parents?). 

Trump has continued to excel at being crappy, but even if he didn't I pose that our current situation wouldn't be any better because for better or worse, we are Americans. We don't take well to people telling us what to do, even if it's in our best interest.

They may have. Or if he had communicated the necessity and done it gradually and reasonably, people might have been ok.

I live in Kentucky. We're getting a lot of praise for Andy. But he's really just shutting things down gradually and following suit of other states. The difference is,he's doing it reasonably. His conferences, he deflects any political question. No name calling, no partisanship. He just talks about what people need to do, politely calls out a few places, then shows happy Twitter posts.

Trump, on the other hand, talks about Obama being at fault and blames other countries.
