I have argued for years that people who have spent all their lives in Miami and Los Angeles cannot know what life is like in the remotest parts of Montana. There is a movement in America to give all decision making power to the densest population parts of the USA.
Many of those in dense metropolitan areas have called for National Laws regarding Covid-19. But the World Health Organization argues that Local and Regional regulation during Covid-19 is a better strategy than National lock-downs.
I’d generally agree with you IF there had been a more effective lockdown to start with. Things are out of control now and it seems regional lockdowns are not working. It appears that without a period of serious lockdown that the USA will never get on top of the situation. Trump pushed for opening too soon.
Trump is seeking to have national laws. He has tried to use the presidency to coerce states. You are actually arguing for a weak national when you say that Trump "pushed".
Yeah I remember a while back when Trump said HE would be the one to decide when things open up and not states and there was all this controversy. I don’t have a problem with states having the final say but some unified coordination for the top would have been and would be helpful. He doesn’t guide he just sets people up for failure so he has someone to blame. He’d rather blame the leaders of the state than take any blame himself. Back when he posted some dumb a** tweet about taking back your rights - wow idiot. He is responsible for opening too early and too fast. He’s not a leader he’s a divider. I’m a foreigner from Canada so my view is that of an outsider but one who has been to the USA hundreds of times over my lifetime and almost moved there.
