Why Is Germany's Coronavirus Death Rate So Low?
https://time.com/5812555/germany-coronavirus-deaths/
According to experts, Germany’s case fatality rate is so low due to
its widespread testing. “In some countries only very symptomatic cases
are tested (e.g. in Italy) and in others a broader testing strategy is
done (e.g. in Germany),” writes Dr. Dietrich Rothenbacher, the director
of the Institute for Epidemiology at Ulm University in Germany, in an
email to TIME. That means that while Germany is currently the country
with the fifth-most infections in the world, chances are that it has
fewer unreported cases than many other countries, where testing is
harder to come by.
McConnell: Impeachment trial 'diverted' attention from coronavirus crisis in China

Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested on Tuesday that the
impeachment trial of President Donald Trump distracted the US government
from the growing coronavirus crisis in China.
In an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt,
McConnell said that the crisis "came up while we were tied down in the
impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the
government, because everything, every day was all about impeachment."

History's verdict on Trump will be devastating

After a lifetime devoted to
avoiding responsibility and accountability -- for his lies, his
deceptions, his hype, and his cruelty -- President Donald Trump has met
his match in the pandemic of 2020.
His bluff and bluster are powerless as thousands of Americans die and
the blame falls, in part, on his failure to heed the warnings and
execute a robust national response. This occurred even though a pandemic playbook had been left behind by the Obama administration. Early in the crisis, Trump said
"We have it totally under control. It's one person coming from China.
It's going to be just fine." Weeks were wasted and now the price of
this fiasco will likely be a loss of life far greater than 9/11 or
Hurricane Katrina.
Democrats Are Being Much, Much More Careful About the Coronavirus Than Republicans
https://slate.com/business/2020/03/democrats-republicans-coronavirus-trump.html
There’s been a fair bit of polling
showing that, in general, Democrats were much more concerned about the
threat of the coronavirus than Republicans, who were presumably taking
their early, lax cues from the White House and Fox News. Now, a new
survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that Democrats have
generally been taking more precautionary measures as the pandemic burns
on, suggesting that the differences in outlook may also be having
real-world, public health consequences.

The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/mar/28/trump-coronavirus-politics-us-health-disaster
“The US response will be studied for generations as a textbook
example of a disastrous, failed effort,” Ron Klain, who spearheaded the
fight against Ebola in 2014, told a Georgetown university panel
recently. “What’s happened in Washington has been a fiasco of incredible
proportions.”
