Trump closed his eyes and held fingers in his ears long enough. Now it's late to contain COVID-19 in the US successfully.
He still refuses to see the threat of the virus, and only focuses on the business side. People getting ill is not a great business...

FYI : can i ask you the success rate of those countries who had locked down their country and restricted citizen from coming out (not even a 200 meter walk away from their home)

Now do you think this is really working well?
I'm in rome. we only saw a slight drop down in this curve on sunday/monday and now the spread seems to have started again.

Thanks

I'm from Croatia, so we are neighbors. We have implemented lockdown on time, and despite being in so close proximity to one of the hotspots (you), we managed to keep it under control (so far). At this moment we have around 500 confirmed cases, and only a few fatalities.
Our lockdown is working.

If we were late to implement it, or if the people were not disciplined in obeying it, I think our scenario would be much, much worse now.

The virus will spread eventually, but I hope not all will be sick at the same time. For now, our hospitals can manage it, thanks to lockdown.
I fear that UK(saw a picture of full metro the other day) and especially US will get the worst of it (after Spain and Italy). Screw the business for a few months, much less people will die if the business is on hold for a few months...
IMO ->Trump + bad health care for the poor + lots of poor = disaster

That being said, I hope I am wrong. And I do hope that they will develop the vaccine soon.
