You wont find a nother summarizing feature documentary at this level till the besserwissers cocludes in a couple of years why this happened and where we failed etc etc when all the numbers and data are processed and the rebuild of the new normal can/have start. i think alex gibney and his team of filmakers presents the best of the best on the science and the humanistic basis, where death is death and not money and politics, and revealing political systems that spreads fear among beaurocrats that being afraid to get sacked and merely keeps sweettalking to their bosses just to keep their jobs leaving the rest of the population at risk for all its/your worth...absolutely nothing so put the politics aside when viewing this film, its a stunning moment of truthlearning. with high recommendations from the still grumpy old nurse with the neck gaither ready at all times

Excellent documentary detailing the US pandemic response comparing what the Trump Administration did with the public health "pandemic response playbook" that the CDC created years ago (and updates on an annual basis). South Korea followed it and has had less than 25% of the death rate that we have had with no national lockdown needed. The conclusion voiced by Dr. Tom Friedan, the former CDC Director 2009-2017: "There's a misconception that public health failed. The truth is that political leaders failed to follow public health guidance, and that's what caused avoidable disease, death and economic destruction." And while I don't want to spoil anything, at the end of the film they play an audio clip of President Trump saying how dangerous and deadly the coronavirus is on February 7th (to Bob Woodward.) It's in his own words! You'd have to have lived under a rock the last eight months if you don't know that completely contradicts much of what he's said publicly. I was also surprised to learn that we had an American N95 mask manufacturer here in the USA that not only warned the administration repeatedly of impending PPE shortages before the coronavirus even was making people sick in China, but he volunteered to make 7 million masks a month to cover healthcare workers early on as long as he could get some assurances from the government and they refused repeatedly. What upset me the most? That every scientist or medical professional who shares information that doesn't conform to the Administration's party line is silenced or fired. You can't trust the CDC, the FDA, FEMA, and who knows who else that falls under Executive Branch purview. This is how great democracies fall into demagoguery. And that's a slippery slope to tyranny.

I am in no way biased or care about American politics as I am not American, I do think this movie does nothing more than show how a government cares more about money and re-election than the health and safety of its citizens. It also appears the majority of those who support Trump tend to follow his every word like sheep. So when you get a president who states that he does not believe in science and medicine... well you are going to get a lot of his followers that blindly follow his words and in turn creating a more "un-educated country" In the end this seems like a propaganda film strategically placed mere weeks before an election, but at the same time the film is based on facts. 7.1

I gave 3 stars, not because I protect Trump. I'm not even US citizen. I give it low score because it politicizes the epidemic. And, please correct me if I'm wrong, was it Trump supporters who since beginning of October are flooding the streets of US cities ignoring the pandemics? So yeah. It's a twosided story

If you really want to know why so many Americans died from COVID-19, this will spell it out. In a just world, this would be the prosecution's opening statement in a Nuremberg style trial against Trump and his cohorts. The timelines are so fresh, you will remember a lot of what is depicted in this film from personal experience. What the filmmakers provide is the behind the scenes machinations of the Trump administration and lines them up with what we were allowed to see at the time. While this infuriating information will not make it any easier to cope with the damage soon-to-be-ex-president Trump inflicted on this country, I am quite certain that the long arm of justice will grab him, and make sure he spends the rest of his life in jail. Hey, we got Osama bin Laden, and he only killed 3000 Americans!
