**And I'm not blaming Trump for that bit. I'm blaming the lab and/or wet market. But once it was out, no POTUS could have stopped it. A reaction not based in denial would have saved a lot of lives, however. - 1pg

------------------

For whatever Trump did not do, it is worth remembering the damage the post Trump overreaction caused.

- tens, or perhaps hundreds of thousands, of mom and pop shops forced to close and many to never return again, family businesses carefully built for decades wiped out

- citizens being denied their constitutional right to worship in a church, or even go to outside in certain fiefdoms

- the social development and learning loss done to school children kept out of school for one or two years and force masked when they did get back, a gap that will never be fully closed

- masking toddlers to the point of child abuse

- people losing their jobs for deciding for themselves about vaccinations.

Over reaction in many ways is worse than under reaction.
