The editors of the NZZ are not Trump fans, as this article shows. But it confirms that the consequences of Corona in the United States are no worse than in other countries.

This Australian study explains why civil rights restrictions are unsuccessful. It makes more sense to disinfect surfaces and hands often enough.

Good luck to the Trump family and their employees.
President Trump has always been accused of the fact that his loose corona policy leads to many deaths. Now I have compared that with Spain, which had a strict lockdown policy. Sources:

In terms of population, there was about the same number of corona deceased in the USA as in Spain despite the tough lockdown, namely 0.06%. In both countries, it can be assumed that many died with Corona, rather than with Corona, and some even got infected in clinics.
These German statistics are also interesting.
It shows that the United States was the place where most tests were done.

It is to ask whether lockdown measures do more harm than good. The resulting economic crisis should not be underestimated. President Trump avoided panic - important principle of crisis management - and declared himself that medicine should not be more harmful than disease.
