Poll
Question: If COVID-19 had first begun spreading in the US, how would Trump's response differ from China's?
#1
A more proactive approach than China (immediate federal-run lockdowns in Dallas, forced quarantines for probable cases within a couple days)		  
#2
An equally proactive approach as China (closing of area with apparent cases, shutdown of city after 17 apparent deaths, complete lockdowns of regions with single-digit cases)		  
#3
A less reactive approach (Trump denies it's a problem and refuses to support locking down of area)		  
#4
Something else

It would have been infinitely worse than China, and you can bet Trump would cover it up as long as possible with the support of Texas GOP politicians.
That being said, the initial spread would be a bit slower due to behavior/population density reasons, but it would quickly not matter.
This would actually be a very interesting alternate timeline.

Wuhan overreacted in the way you can count on Communist/Authoritarian governments to do so.  The only thing that was surprising is that non-Communist countries did similar things.

Although, I could see the argument of trying to cordon the disease within a certain zone to prevent a pandemic, but the cat was out of the bag on that by late February.
Thanks for explaining why China handled it better than the US, mindsets like yours.
