The 9/11 event was Trump being president during the Corona virus pandemic. His incompetence has been killing more people every day than the number of people killed on 9/11, for quite some time now.

Out of interest what do you actually expect him to have done regarding covid? He wanted to ban flights from CHina but that was shouted down as being racist. We have had all sorts of nonsense restrictions here in Europe, masks have been mandatory for months and they don't seem to have made a noticeable difference (case numbers keep going up, so restrictions are made tighter, but nothing changes). A number of vaccines…

The most important thing he could have done is to communicate clearly about the seriousness of the pandemic.

We have a rather good state run healthcare system where I am and we also had the first two problems you describe. - You can't get free tests easily. - almost overwhelmed hospitals - pretty much at their limit. We have pretty much the same % deaths as the US - 0.1% of the population, so less than Heart disease or cancer, but worse than an average flu.

One thing that disappoints me most about the entire response is the shifting narrative. I'm in a technical field. I understand the fits and starts and retractions that constitute actual scientific process. But my understanding from reading earlier governmental / military pandemic wargames is that there was one overriding discovery: never hide or obscure the truth, as once public trust is lost it can never be regained…

Agree. I used to respect and defend the scientific establishment. In the days of Covid it seems more of an appeal to authority on what some scientist says rather than actual science. And there are plenty of other experts who are ignored for going against the mainstream narrative.
