I have sympathy for world leaders that are doing their best, there's plenty of countries that have been hit hard yet are holding their own like Japan and Korea who are right next to China, yet they've kept a hold of things through quick action and by tackling the problem head on.

Any leader that downplayed and dismissed the virus despite advance warnings is grossly incompetent and a danger to their people. Trump is the president, it's his incompetence that has led to the 200k+ deaths that the US has suffered.

So Trump is uniquely mishandling it then despite other countries faring worse? Got it

Sure there's a lot of mistakes in there and of course many mistakes have been made at a local level in the US where governors etc. have more control over what happens in their area really than the President does. Where does the list of 'people who deserve to die because of their response to Covid' end though? Better off not having one in the first place imo
