Question

Define how the current administration has handled Covid-19 since the first of March right after we left for spring break through today?   Use facts only to support your chronology.

Answer 1

1st March

The United States reported the second confirmed death in Washington state. The first cases in Rhode Island, Florida, and New York were confirmed. The authorities confirmed 21 more cases in total, bringing the number to 89

3rd March

The United States confirmed three more deaths, bringing the total to 9. The first case of coronavirus in North Carolina was reported, coming from the nursing home in Washington state responsible for the first deaths from the virus.Another case in Florida was presumptively confirmed positive, bringing the total number of Floridian cases to three. The number of cases stood at 126, increasing by 24 from 102.

As of 12 April, nearly 300 million people, or about 90 per cent of the population, are under some form of lockdown in the United States

Above facts are taken from wikipedia.

According to the above chronology, the most important point to crtic the administration is that the lockdown was not into place at the time it should have been.

Due to a delayed lockdown the condition today is worse. Little less than 2 million cases in USA makes USA top the list by far. Population of USA is very high, thats true. But, compare with India. India imposed lockdown proactively and they have been successful in flattening the curve. Not even one lac cases in India.

Current admin has not handled covid 19 seriously. They thought this is just another virus. But, the case can be seen today as very serious for US citizens, mainly because of carelessness of administration.
