> Our outbreak started later, and so did most countermeasures, for reasons that appear to be complete coincidence. Exactly what new information was discovered in the ~1-2 weeks gap between US and Canada outbreaks that led Canada to start lockdown very early while the US started very late? spoiler: none. One government and it's provinces decided to follow common sense/scientific advices, while the other did not. > Well, I could've compared Spain and Italy as well. Spain's outcomes seem like they may have a lot to do with vitamin D. You could have and you would have seen that they have successfully bent the curve to almost no new cases unlike the US. Do you think people in Florida and Texas lack vitamin D? If not how come cases are spiking again there? > Such as what? The President is not a dictator, he does not get to make most of the major decisions involved in an outbreak like this Such as not spending weeks trying to convince americans that this virus was a fake news from the left? Or such as using his political weight to pressure states into going into lockdown earlier/longer? Or maybe not vehemently refusing to wear a mask to not appear weak, leading to all of it's base doing the same? > Hindsight is always 20-20. I did very specifically say "with the infos available at the time".
