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
