Not disagreeing with you, but there is a real difference between say the way Bangkok and Munich are treating it (I have recently been in Bangkok, now in Munich). In Bangkok 90%+ of people are walking around with masks (a combination of P2/N95 and surgical masks), hand sanitizer at the door of every shopping center. Security guards using temperature guns on everyone that enters a building.
I went for a massage and the receptionist used a temperature gun on me.
Here in Munich, it's invisible, except for a whole bunch of people that are working from home. Both are fairly close to hotspots, and yet there are very different behaviors.
Exactly, the German mainstream/government mainly is "no fear", and the opposition naturally criticizes that the wrong decisions have been made, and that the state is not ready.
At the same time, the German mainstream/government criticizes the Trump presidency.
All the same seems to happen in the USA, however the other way round: again, the opposition bolsters fear and criticizes the government for not being ready. However the opposition=democrats, hence the fearful criticize Trump at the same time.
Conclusion:
* the Trump critics in the USA overstate the risk of SARS-CoV2
* the Trump critics in Germany downstate the risk SARS-CoV2
