As someone who thinks Trump has been doing a great job for the last three years I have to give him a failing grade on this.  decisive action is needed and he won’t step up to the plate. This country does not have the political will to do what is necessary and lives will be lost as a result.

I'm just trying to figure out how saying there is nothing more he can do can translate into anything other than an A.
How can an A translate into anything other than him having done all he could?

I agree, that's why when the OP said there is nothing more he could have done the OP should be giving an A not an F
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

You are misreading the OP. What Trump did do is the reason for the F.

He did not close up/do more because he needs the economy to be good in 2020 In order to win, what a self serving coward

Was not just him. Not a single governor or mayor did anything till this morning. If anything he was the first to do anything about it.

What he did was easy decision and anyone with a half of a brain would have done. Since then he has done nothing to stop the spread. Until yesterday he thought it was just the flu. We need a real leader to make the tough decisions. He is MIA!!!

We have mayors and governors making tough decisions for the past week+. What did Trump do? Called them names.
His speech last night was a disaster. The only plus was he know gets it but has no answer or plan.

i beg to differ, any state cutting flights would not help much. Such a decision needs to come from the fed and more specifically the executive branch.

As much as I dislike him, Cuomo has actually been impressing me this past 10 days. He started at an D or F but has been putting on his A game more than anyone.

+100
He's probably been the most aggressive, but until today everything he was doing was passive, trying to stem things without hurting anyone, which was clearly never going to work.

yes he’s done more then the rest which means he acknowledged the threat, nothing short of full stop like China did in Wuhan will stop this thing but Politicians will always take the safe bet rather then being “alarmist”. Clowns with no balls

Yup, he has free reign to ban basically anything he wants. He's right in his element.

Look at how he kept calling out the CDC/FDA for lack of test kits, and for not allowing him to use private labs for testing. No one was really talking about it, he lit a fire under their a**. Made a ton of progress with testing in NY.
