Blaming the government for the spread of coronavirus is idiotic. We know by now that people will blame Trump for literally anything, but this is entirely on the people. Containing the virus would have been near impossible anyway, but it certainly hasn't been helped by the average American. This virus has revealed the utter and near unbelievable stupidity of a lot of people.

For comparison, I'd say New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea and mayyybe Singapore are counterexamples. Which means that only about like 2% of all countries seem to have dealt with it well (way more if you only count first world countries, since they're probably the only ones rich enough to even consider having programs in place). If people think America is *exceptionally* bad they're going have to give concretely bad things. (The FDA must be destroyed)

And IIRC only two... types(?) of organizations have been ahead of this: International Tennis Tournaments and Furry Conventions have both purchased pandemic insurance after they saw SARS was a thing.
