      Some of those reactions were misreadings, so it's worth emphasizing: I think Trump's handling of Covid has been bad. I think it has undoubtedly cost some number of American lives. I think it's possible that it will look worse in hindsight than it does in a snapshot right now.

      On our podcast recently I debated @herandrews and @ToryAnarchist, who both leaned toward an act-of-God reading of the pandemic in which Trump's actions are essentially marginal to the result. That's not my view.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/06/opinion/the-argument-trump-coronavirus-election.html …

      Indeed, I think that especially given Trump's own professed nationalist/China hawk worldview, and his 2016 sales pitch, his failure to take the virus seriously when it counted is a good reason for a swing voter to swing against him.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/07/opinion/coronavirus-trump.html …

      What I'm questioning is whether we have evidence that Trump's response has led to a unique catastrophe as opposed to a more ordinary failure, of the kind unfortunately common in our peer countries.

      I think the unique-catastrophe case has, so far, relied on snapshots in time -- taking European versus American case rates circa July 15 as a final judgment, for instance -- that don't necessarily tell us how things will actually end up.

      On the late spring, as we came out of lockdown, the US was doing better than Western Europe. By mid-summer we were doing worse. But now, well ...https://twitter.com/MacaesBruno/status/1303526121804312576 …

      Likewise, once you step back from deaths and case rates to other measurements of response capacity, the US looks anywhere from slightly-below to slight-above average, rather than catastrophic, compared to W. Europe and the Americas.
