He's being appropriate because advisers finally got through to him (as Dr. Fauci put it, 'argued strongly'😉 this essential message: Mr President, Americans are dying. If you phuck this up, kiss your second term goodbye."
And Trump desperately needs that second term to keep the investigative wolves at bay.
However, to give credit where credit is due, this is the longest he's ever been 'appropriate', ie, looking like a child being forced to eat his vegetables.

Not really, I'm living in India right now and the number of infected people ain't that much. Even with testing ramped up, the number of infected people is less than 2%.
That figure is close to the estimated number of UK people infected from "known figures" and true-estimates, which are not based on the tests but based on modeling of how the virus likely spread, puts it at 50%-60%.
Meaning, it is likely India has tens of millions if not hundreds of millions already exposed and many with active cases. It's most likely that hundreds or thousands are dying from this virus in India but due to the lack of testing, we don't really know.
If you have a few cases, it is likely that you have anywhere from a factor of 10 to 10,000 times more cases unaccounted for. Has India done mass testing like the US and Iceland? I cannot find any news on this. No reports. Unless they've done testing in the hundreds of thousands to millions, the current case and death numbers being reported are highly likely to be inaccurate. Kind of like the African countries: little to no testing means little to no cases.
Re: how is trump handling the pandemic?
pretty much like this until about 2 week ago
then: "this is china's fault for not taking it seriously" *SelfAwareness.exe has stopped working*
this week it's DER LEFT's fault because of the impeachment hearing. meanwhile new york still needs medical equipment and supplies
Trump's tried to downplay the severity of it until the US was leading in terms of new infections daily and it was evident to everyone that shit was bad. He's also tried to create unsubstantiated rumors that medical staff are hoarding/selling/hiding masks, calling into question the numbers needed in situations, and fighting governors on Twitter.
He's not doing well. He's being counterproductive because his true master isn't the American people at all; it's the moneygrubbing business leaders. That's why he's consistently pandered to Wall Street and all but sucked face with horrible business CEOs like Bob Murray. Yet his approval rating is climbing because Americans don't do any real research and thing this is being handled well.
It's not. The US system is not set up for a pandemic. This has been a problem for years with a society keen on rugged individualism, a lack of any cohesive national public health system, and the only first or in some cases third world country lacking universal health care.
But don't worry, because while he's doing the bare minimum at the behest of people who know much better (Faulci for example), he's getting props by people who can't be bothered to do anything other than watch Fox and Friends.

Trump's still not taking any personal responsibility in doing anything wrong and gave himself a "10 of of 10" score in handling this, yet we're supposed to ignore that and give him a pass that we wouldn't give a 9yo acting the same way after they've fouled up because?
Because he's not a democrat. Didn't you know? You can only think along party lines.

Yeah, but they're immune to claims of hypocrisy at this point.

Can someone tell me where the Virius came from again, also, did anyone actually realize it came from China, and the World Health Organization sat on it, as did China.Its musing to watch people blame Trump for the World Healths Organizations corruption and did nothing about it.
You do realize that any malfeasance on behalf of the WHO, whether proven or no, is ridiculous given that the CDC had information up and was requesting assistance back in December 2019, right? The need for action was present for months. Trump wasn't listening and routinely tried to pretend it was okay. It's not okay.
Do you blame China for the deaths in Italy?

Yes I blame China for Italy's death. Its their fcking fault all this happened. To say anything else is pure 100% political bullshit. Our debt should be canceled with them as should everyone else. **** China

I do agree that China should get most of the blame but italians were literally walking right up to chinese people-- who were travelling back and forth between China and Italy-- and taking their masks off and hugging them to "prove" they weren't racist lol. It was soooooo "progressive" of them to do that. 🙄
Those who die as a result of it should have this written on their tombstones: "Well, at least we weren't racists!"
No, I have no sympathy for people who are that damn dumb.
You reap what you sow as the good book tells us.

That's a solid Christian behavior there.
