Thirdperson couldn't possibly be more correct in that one sentence! Sums it up perfectly.
It follows logically that if the pandemic CAUSING the economic meldown had been effectively stifled, contained, and mitigated right from the get-go - as many smart countries have done - then most of what followed as a direct result - especially DEATHS - is unlikely to have occurred to such a degree as we have witnessed.
The top priority of any good leader of a country is to protect the safety & security
of his citizens. The responsibility for a nation first and foremost falls on our FEDERAL
Government. Yes, the Governors are responsible for their states, and the Mayors
for their cities. But every US state and city would NOT EVEN BE in the position of
having to defend against a massive, out-of-control national, coronavirus pandemic,
if the trump admin had done it's job effectively IN THE FIRST PLACE!
That's the bottom line.
Research from highly regarded team at Ivy League, Columbia University
concluded that had swift action taken place just 2 weeks sooner (on March 1)
then up to 83% of viral spread and deaths would have been averted.
“It’s a big, BIG difference! That small moment in time, catching it in that growth
phase, is incredibly critical in reducing the number of deaths,”
Columbia epidemiologist Jeffrey Shaman told the New York Times.

And increasing infections - with what follows 2-4 weeks later - increasing DEATHS.
So it's a failure at state level to some degree, but all stemming from what the trump admin
FAILED and indeed REFUSED to do from the get-go. This is well documented.

According to Worldometers chart info, there are 129 countries on the planet

capita than the USA - while 121 are doing far better! Why is that? How come,
with all our alleged might & technology, and supposed AWESOME leadership,
are we NOT one of the BEST in the world for handling this pandemic? Who the
hell is in charge of protecting our citizens??

The self-described "KING of DEBT" doesn't give a damn. Afterall, it's not his money...
