I don't think our overall national response has been particularly *good* But the baseline here should be more realistic about variations among regions, as well as different climates, population densities, etc. Efforts to just blow by all that are not serious or honest.

And there is a very wide variance within the U.S. What we've been through here in the NY area is just not what's happened everywhere in the country.

You mean once you take our largest and highest density population center out of the data things look better? I'm shocking.

Why are you excluding the US' hardest hit areas but not excluding Canada's hardest hit areas?

Canada has only 300 deaths if you exclude Quebec and Ontario.

The NYC area has just been such a disaster. Compared with the rest of the country, you can really make the case for a failure of local/state leadership rather than the federal response being especially awful.

Federal government knew about the virus since November, yet allowed infected tourists to flood New York City from Europe without screening. Medicare also told nursing homes to accept patients from hospitals. Federal government didn't change that guidance until the end of March.

The latter hasn't been great, but calling it a failure due to NYC overlooks a lot of more local issues.
