Keep believing

What am I supposed to keep believing? What do you keep believing? That Trump or Biden are supposed to solve covid. And given the nature of this country--government structure, politics, cultural heritage, diverse contradictions to that heritage. Unusual lack of unity in purpose or belief. Virtually a country of various countries. And this virulent political dissent and obstruction against the opposition party programs that we have come to in the last couple of decades. And, more importantly, our dependence on our bureaucracy to provide the answers and actions to do most things including pandemics. The real initial failure in testing was our CDC's inability to start a testing regime. It actually took Trump to fix that. But precious time was wasted.
From all this, you expect a Trump or a Biden could solve covid. And don't bring up this phantom THE science. There is no proven one scientific view on all aspects of the virus, nor on the best way to conquer it.
And no, I don't put stock in what Trump says about how well we're doing. But I don't see this massive failure that you claim. And I'm optimistic that we are going to get through it and are doing well with creating vaccines, drugs, and protocols. I think it was good to open up the economy. That probably saved more lives in other ways that are not considered by those who focus with strict blinders on killing the virus.
You seem to view the presidency as some kind of dictatorship or our system some sort of Progressive European thing. With all the factors of what and who we are as a country, we may be doing quite well.
But just keep counting. That's so meaningful and helpful.
