Anyways, I’m honestly not a big fan in bringing politics into the situation. We all know that doing so won’t really help the situation.

Totally agreed.  Here in South Africa the President seems to be surrounded by genuine experts and his speeches rock, HOWEVER unfortunately what really counts are the local governments and supplies to the points of medical care.  Protective gear for care givers, hospital beds and ventilators.  I find his brilliant speeches don't tally with what is going on at the ground level.  

Now what really impressed me was the UK who were able to procure the expert services of an army hospital construction specialist to assist with creating an enormous medical facility - called the Nightingale Hospital.  It's a makeshift temporary army hospital that the army specialist is used to setting up in Afghanistan.  UK used an enormous Exhibition area to recreate it into a medical facility - hoping to have it in operation within a week.  Now for me the NHS is really turning out good in all of this, and particularly how all of the Brits seem to be volunteering their expertise and assistance.  A week ago when the UK Government asked for 250,000 volunteers to assist, the number was fully subscribed within hours.  They definitely have my admiration for this kind of collaboration.  Almost like in WWII - united front.  Now compare it with Italy who always seems to be in shambles when they have to make decisions and ditto France. Like there's a parallel for me with the outcome of the WWII in their countries too.  And finally the capitalist opportunism of the US.  No doubt there are already US tycoon opportunists in motion to cash in the misery of others - if indeed they didn't create "the opportunity" to start off with.  I.e. I'm sure Trump must have known about this threat long in advance of it becoming a real problem in the US and took his time no doubt to give those capitalist supporters of his who have money to lose to make their preparations (liar liar pants on fire).
