Who is "blaming" anyone? Suggesting that there was no public consensus for extreme actions 6 or 8 weeks ago isn't blaming anyone for anything it is just stating a fact.

And your last comment seems to be repeating the lie that the President called the virus a hoax, which he did not. He called the unfounded accusations of his lack of actions another hoax. It is unrcontionable to be spreading that misinformation at this point.

I did not. But my comment was flagged so you can make up anything you want about it, so have a cookie.

Please don't take HN threads further into political flamewar. We don't need that here.
