      Definitely nothing else that increased mortality happened in 2020 right?

        Which is also something the president had control to protect prisoners from.

        But instead went, “It’s gonna go big in cities, kill lots of democrats, let it run loose!”

        Then that plan backfired and it went rampant in republican areas as democrats masked up and got vaccinated…

        The president at the time made zero effort to do anything other than hide behind a curtain and go, “The virus isn’t real! Trust me I tell the truth!”, then spent months saying insane things with no evidence to substantiate any of it. Tens of thousands of rural citizens trusted him and died following his advice.

        One final note, this was less than a few years after dismantling and defunding Obama’s virus response task force which had been assembled so that the US would be prepared for virulant events.

        Yes but also ICE decided to go half way to the Nazi solution and sprayed detainees with pesticide so much they caused health problems. (The holocaust gas chamber were a very high dose of pesticide.)

          Disinfectant ≠ pesticide

          Obviously every COVID policy everywhere is heavily criticized after the fact by someone, but that likely saved lives.

            I’m aware that not all disinfectant is pesticide. I’m also aware that they exposed detainees to pesticide in the name of COVID prevention.

        It was probably mostly covid with some Title 42 mixed in, considering the previous numbers were on the higher side as well.
