I think it's pretty clear that aside from Trump's terrible messenging at times, the US didn't somehow do something, or fail to do something, that made this worse.

The messenging was a distraction, nothing else.  We were gonna get hit hard no matter what.  The most brilliant technical President could not have done better, though the nursing home situations does raise an eyebrow.

I can't imagine leaving someone that had COVID and could infect others in a nursing home

I also can't imagine sending someone that could infect others back from a hospital to the nursing home for the only reasoning that there's no room for them in the hospital!

WTF?

Pretty sure my kids school district which opened in August didn't give two squirts who the President was and what messenging he sent.   Some were apoplectic about the decision  to reopen in class instruction and many of those folks were quick to come back to school following their 10 weeks of virtual.     The Executive branch and who is President occupies way too much bandwidth in the average adult person's brain.  I love federalism for this, among many other reasons.

Information from Africa is suspect in detail, but I think were it running rampant it would be noticed.  We get reports of various attacks and calamities from Africa, we know when other diseases break out, I think if COVID were really bad it would show up more than it has.

Maybe countries like South Korea have managed simply by managing influx of visitors aggressively, which they can do.

I don't.  I think that although it's a global pandemic, it's just not much of anything compared to everything else that's going on there.  Seriously, something that kills less than 2% of who it infects, just doesn't move the needle in the middle of the African continent.

That could well be the case.  Maybe they get sick in Africa often and just tough it out, but they also have some massive cities.

Are the Asian countries doing well because of masks and control of visitation?

Visitation control doesn't work in Europe, and not well here, a few slip though.  Even Hawaii got hit.

I think no matter who was President this would have been bad.

Agree.  Human nature, or at least human nature among Western countries, is what it is.

Taking a look at California, I didn't realize how much harder Southern California (particularly LA metro) was hit with cases/deaths than their Bay Area neighbors, which closer follows the trendlines of Portland and Seattle. 

For the first image, note just how much LA County stands out with almost a fourth of California's population accounting for about 40% of Covid Deaths. For as high as LA County's death toll is, their population sitting right at 10.0 Mil yields 16,600 Deaths/Mil, which, to compare nationally, ranks LA County's Death/Mil value at around 12th or 13th among the states. And still not nearly as high as the well over 2,000 Deaths/Mil values among the equivalently dense urban populations of New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts.

Seems to me that California needs to be on lockdown.

Is it possible Southern California's problems result from visitors from Mexico?

In Texas our border counties have a much higher positive rate

We stopped by Costco and walked around and drove back home, she's unpacking now.  I told her to rest a bit, she says she's fine.
