Thank you Rene. Remember the Governors insisted on state instead of federal control. When this first started Trump wanted to set rules for the whole nation and the states pushed back.
Governors not Trump locked the elderly in nursing homes with no family visits. The majority of deaths in many states are from those places.
A national mask mandate while reasonable Is simply not enforceable. Could Trump have done better? Yes. Could Obama have done better with H1N1? Yes. Man can not always control nature. Thanks for your detailed answer.
