"On February 28, Donald Trump stood before a crowd of supporters in South Carolina and told them to pay no attention to the growing warnings of a coronavirus outbreak in America.
The press was “in hysteria mode,” the president said. The Democrats were playing politics. This new virus was nothing compared with the seasonal flu—and anyone who said otherwise was just trying to hurt him. “This is their new hoax,” Trump proclaimed, squinting out from behind a podium adorned with the presidential seal.
Six weeks later, the coronavirus has killed more than 25,000 Americans, the U.S. economy has been crippled—and Trump is recasting himself as a pandemic prophet.
At Monday’s White House briefing, the president responded to questions about his handling of the crisis by dimming the lights and playing an Orwellian campaign-style video: “THE MEDIA MINIMIZED THE RISK FROM THE START,” the onscreen text read, “WHILE THE PRESIDENT TOOK DECISIVE ACTION.” "

I will say in the last week Trump seems to be doing better with the pandemic.

He can't get much done.

Look how many lives were lost in the H1N1 epidemic under Obama...
President Obama declared H1N1 a public health emergency before anyone in the United States died.
Trump wasted weeks downplaying the coronavirus.
Weeks after it was known what was happening in China.
Instead of preparing the United States for the virus he was playing to his base and campaigning.
Now because of social distancing he can't have rallies; he is turning White House briefings into mini Trump rallies.

I just will NEVER understand the thinking that tries to blame Obama for Trump's failure to act when he had all the warnings and the time to take remedial action. Yes, Obama screwed that one up; but Trump royally screwed up by not heeding the advice of the people who really know what is going on.
Perhaps the single most positive thing Trump could do is acknowledge to himself that he is not a superior being who is smarter than everyone else. Only God can stake that claim.
Wait... you don't suppose...

Trump's incompetence will cost many lives in this pandemic.

Why do you constantly bash Trump yet assign no blame to Obama? He had from 2009 onwards to fix the problem but did nothing. I can only assume that Trump, having seen that Obama thought it irrelevant, decided that he too would do nothing... It's called precedent...
Do you have any idea of who has been president for over 3 years?
He has been president for 40 months! With only 9 to go.
When is he going to fix everything he promised?
I wonder what system he was talking about here.:

You?
And you still cannot back up your claim that tests showed 100% effectiveness.

No where in your link does it even hint at saying it is 100% effective.
The original post claims tests showed 100% effectiveness.
What we don't need now are rumors and lies; even if you would like to believe them.
