About what should be done during the next term. The United States is setting a world record in coronavirus cases and covid related deaths 9 and half million confirmed cases in more than 230,000 deaths United States surpassing every other country in the world which may leave you wondering what went wrong. The Public Health response the pandemic has been inadequate halting. Confusing at times and that has led to people often doing the wrong thing and that has led to more cases more hospitalizations and more deaths than we could have had. Doctor Robert Wachter with ucsf department of medicine so that while covid19 would have been a huge and deadly problem under any administration, the Trump Administration has been mishandling of the whole pandemic the way the messaging has come out. The way the cdc has been knocked around with has led to a lot of confusion and people have been allowed to choose their own adventure choose whatever truth they want to believe and too many of them have chosen that i you know i dont know who to believe so im just going to do what i want to do. And that is a big big factor in the surge is that were gonna see but it wasnt all bad. Wachter praises the administration as well very that i think the administration has done pretty well on which which is vaccines and therapeutics the effort they put into funding and supporting research into vaccines has really been impressive and i think were moving in a direction doctor wachter says covid19 isnt a political issue and that americans have to believe the Science Behind it before we can get it under control.

I dont believe weve even had a 150 deaths in the city of San Francisco and ive calculated that the country had San Franciscos per capita death rate. Wed have about 55,000 deaths in the u. S. Instead of 230,000 so its not accurate to say this cant be done in the United States is something fundamentally about the u. S.
