No one else in the western world is accountable to us (the American voters) and thus are irrelevant to the discussion.  Many of our leaders failed us, by pursuing ineffective policies (a travel ban) and failing to pursue policies that could have resulted in fewer deaths and less economic devastation.  And for that they ought to be held accountable. 

But since we are in the US, we get to weigh in on our own government, and in my opinion, it has been an epic failure, full stop.

Yes! And let's not forget that our president didn't just fail to act. He aggressively obstructed action. He called it a hoax. He belittled the danger. He made it a political battle. He defended the Dow Jones instead of the citizens. He was not just neutral. We've been watching one of the greatest failures of leadership in modern history.

He was like Paul Revere riding around Boston shouting "No, they're not coming. Don't worry. It's all a hoax. Everybody go back to sleep."
