I cannot comment on the US, because I don't live there. In Germany, however:
Information flow was poor and deceptive:
1) First, actual masks are purportedly useless, now homemade toy masks are mandatory.
2) While the population was locked in and many people lost their jobs, the government health authorities could not be bothered to report new cases in the weekend. Of course one cannot force a civil "servant" to work. Work is for the plebs and civil "servants" have job security as long as the ECB can print money.
3) There is no effort to determine if for example supermarket workers have a higher number of cases. They are in contact with hundreds of people every day. Zero information.
4) Actual antibody studies are lagging and take an extraordinary amount of time.
Now the economy is down, bailouts for the rich will happen, the politicians, civil "servants" and state television parasites are secure and the general working population is screwed. Same as in 2008.
