The deaths from the huge economic dislocations ALREADY in the pipeline will be vastly greater than any caused by the Wehu Flu. Suicides, heart attacks, etc.

You can say that about any policy. The practical and political reality is that those deaths can’t easily be attributed to Trump. Inaction over the coronavirus means that any deaths due to the disease will be attributed to him just as surely as if he had injected the virus directly into their lungs. If we get hundreds of thousands of coronavirus deaths this year, the GOP is finished for a generation. Not just because Trump will lose the election, but because the political fallout from this failure will mark the GOP for decades to come. It will come off as stupid and incompetent.
