You may not want to hear it, but make no mistake: this is a Trump problem. He is bumbling his way through this crisis, with no thought or regard to the spread of the virus, nor the deaths that result.
He's sent many conflicting messages, most of which focus on the stock market, the success of the wealthy, and his own re-election. He didn't take it seriously until it was too late (to wit, he called it a "hoax" and was dismissive of it early on), and claims he is in no way responsible for... anything. Yet, he was the one who neutered most science organizations and research, and dismantled the office established specifically to combat a pandemic.
And then there's Desantis, Florida's governor, who can't get out of his own way. He waited far too long to close beaches (and never did!) and declare a state of emergency. And currently is acting as indecisive as you can imagine, making contradictory statements - sometimes on the same day. I see two issues here: he's trying his best to protect Florida's tourism at the expense of the long term health of it, and he wants to appease the Trump (one would assume that this is because Trump has made clear he wants people to laud him or he will withhold aid, though of course it could be that he’s a fanboy and wants to appease the nincompotus).
This is a time for action, and for solid leadership. They are failing us on all counts.
