Maybe, just maybe, "one of the best European health systems" ain't so good after all.
It's funny, lots of people here and the liberal side of the media are bashing Trump for every decision he makes (granted the far right side praises everything he does). If he does nothing, his inactivity is going to kill people, if he does something, like stop travel from highly infected European countries (the smart ones with great healthcare systems), he is causing chaos and confusion. The people could care less about those affected by this virus, they just want the political result they have desperately worked for the last 3 years.
Regardless, so far, the hero European countries have a far higher rate if infections and deaths. Maybe American will turn out far worse (according to the haters, we're all dead because Trump is an idiot and screwed this all up), who knows. Like you said, we'll know in a few weeks or month.
Put me on the side of Elon Musk, in 3 or 4 weeks when people aren't dying in droves and those infected recover with little fanfare, Americans will get back to their lives and realize they were bamboozled again by the media.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly post it. Just like you said.
