Serious legal question:
Serious legal answer: no. Tort claims ordinarily do not lie from the discretionary acts of elected officials.
Serious logical answer: get your fricking head checked. If you are relying on the president to protect you from an airborne pandemic that affected almost every country the world equally and indiscriminately, irrespective of political association (well, other than those that have a high use of HCQ), then you are in fact a pussy.

To answer your disingenuous questions with faulty premise with questions:
What exactly would Trump jumping up and down screaming WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE have done to a) reduce panic buying of PPE and essential supplies; b) speed along a test to a novel virus - any quicker than the few wks we did it in; or c) made his use of federal resources to convert manufacturing of engines, vodka, and pillows to ventilators, hand sanitizer and masks go any faster?

Well the US has enjoyed relatively low rates of death compared to most other countries, Canada has a death rate of around 7.5% vs ours at 2.5%, for instance, so I’d say Instead of suing the president perhaps you should be thanking him.

Nice swing and a miss. Trumps words does equal his actions. Cuomo might need to worry.

Do individuals who lost a loved one due to the “Wuhan Flu” have an argument for a civil suit against Trump and possibly Woodward?
Woodward presents a series of interesting issues, but the first question would be whether he had a legal duty to disclose the info, since he probably did not make any affirmative misrepresentation.

What if FDR hid the fact that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and were a serious threat? If we hadn’t taken decisive action they could have possibly taken Hawaii and been a serious threat to the west coast. It possibly could have changed the outcome of WW2 and at the very least lengthened it. The American lives saved by taking decisive action is incalculable.

What if a doctor waited to tell you or your family about a cancer diagnosis because it may cause you to panic? Would the be liable for medical malpractice?

The American people have proven time and again the ability to handle adversity.
