I did.

They recognized the problem, used the pandemic plan developed by the WHO in coordination with the USA for previous threats,

That's a vague statement. This has all been discussed over and over and over. Don't talk as if the WHO was a shining example. It was part of the problem in delaying reaction to the virus. And the world suffered for that. It criticized Trump for his travel ban. It downplayed the seriousness of the virus early on siding with Chinese propaganda.

immediately started sourcing PPE, Tests and developing tracking/tracing protocols.

Nothing was done immediately by anybody other than China which knew what happened and didn't fess up till it was too late. If China had contained the virus when it knew, there would be immensely fewer infections in the rest of the world. The virus had already left china and began its worldwide infection before anybody new what was happening. Others were ahead on testing because our CDC chose not to use WHO kits but to produce their own supposedly better ("It has been long-standing practice for CDC scientists in emergencies to develop the first diagnostic tests, in part because the CDC has access to samples of the virus before others, officials said. Later, private companies that win FDA authorization can scale up efforts to meet demand."), but botched that and the administration had to change the FDA regulation that prevented private labs from producing kits without the rigorous FDA approval regime. Other countries did not have such rigorous restrictions and could more quickly produce test kits. "the U.S. efforts to distribute a working test stalled until Feb. 28, when federal officials revised the CDC test and began loosening up FDA rules that had limited who could develop coronavirus diagnostic tests." The regulatory system we had in place was the very obstacle to fulfilling its own mission.

They are on the road to control of this pandemic and their economies are recovering.

We are on the road to control. There has been a worldwide surge. But there are signs that it may be getting better.
Gloom and doom does not help. Nor does over-optimism. And our economy seems to be making a comeback.



Meanwhile Tweety claimed it was a hoax, would one day disappear, end with warm weather and on and on.

See, THAT'S propaganda that you keep repeating even after you've been corrected a few times. Here's this from Snopes: "During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax. . . Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax."

And the notion that it would "disappear" with warm weather was an idea floated around by the "experts" except that it wouldn't totally disappear but would not be as effective in warmer weather and would quickly be killed on surfaces heated up by sunlight.


His failure to lead in this disaster is destroying whatever claims to greatness he could have made.

It is obvious propaganda to say that he failed to lead. You obviously don't like his efforts, none-the-less, he did a lot of leading.

Now he’s moved to important stuff like saving us from low flow showerheads and energy saving light bulbs
