That should only be the focus if the goal is to distract and deflect from the fact that all that is NOT happening because the ones in charge are incompetent douchebags.

And that's why it's the goal.

Actually what's the point of emphasizing where the virus "came from" (and it's not really certain if it actually originated from there still) apart from trying to deflect from the fact that you're screwing up and not being able to deal with it like you should?

I think that was indeed the point for Trump.

Especially testing and tracking! Until there's an effective vaccine (and damn the souls of those who push stupid, paranoid propaganda aimed at discrediting vaccines to everlasting hell) testing, tracking and social distancing is the most effective way to control it. Countries that have been pretty strict about these measures are ALL in much better shape as they weather this pandemic than the U.S. -- and it is BECAUSE they have been pretty strict about them. Everybody who wishes the U.S. well is appalled and horrified by the mess the Trump administration has made,God, I hope Trump and Pence and Barr will be thoroughly wiped from the political scene in November.
