How does the thoughts and prayers contingent not recognize that every time Trump takes office the world sends a plague? Isn’t that in their handbook as being significant?
What Pandemic was there in 2017? Because the brunt of Covid mostly was during Bidens term.
Seriously people, if you downvote why dont you bother to correct?
Trumps first inaugoration was 2017. Covid started 2020 and the most of it happened under Biden. It is just laughable to think that a global pandemic had anything to do with who is the US president.
So 2020, which by your inaccurate account, was the start of covid. When dealing with a global disease that has the potential to overload the medical system prior to getting a vaccine, what year do you think is the most important?
Of course Trump couldnt have stopped covid from destroying the rest of the world. But he could have lessened its impact on the US. Instead, he thought it would magically dissappear by easter. Due to his cult of personality, people were explicitly attempted to spread covid. He constantly undercut what actual scientists and health experts were stating, in favor of pushing ivermectin and hydroxychloroquin, both of which have been shown to be ineffective in treating covid, and can actually make your issues worse. He failed in his response to covid across the board and reaulted in hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths.
The ironic notion was that Covid came to punish the election of Trump, and so would the next pandemic. But Covid came towards the end of Trumps presidency, even if you include the last months of 2019 where maybe there was a case or two already.
When looking at the graph of infections we see two major waves. The first being Winter 2020/2021 so when Trump was leaving and Biden was getting into office. By then it was considered the third wave, but the March/April and Juli/August waves have been very small in comparison. Then the next big wave came in August/September 2021 and then the craziest winter was 2021/2022 and the last big wave in summer 2022.
Looking at the graph of deaths it is a bit different because the 2020 March/April wave hit very badly, which indeed fell into Trumps reign and could have looked slightly less bad if he had enacted different policies. But the majority of deaths and the worst death waves were winter 2020/2021 so split half half Biden and Trump and August 2021 to March 2022, which is fully in Bidens term.
It is just misinformation to claim a link between Trump and Covid without claiming the same link between Biden and Covid. In total it remains that no one did a good job at mitigating Covid. And frankly the only country that claimed to have mitigated Covid during the first waves was China with an extremely authoritarian crackdown. But then when vaccines were available they still ended up getting a major blow by Covid and just lied about their statistics, so even having postponed the hit until vaccines were available wasn’t the winning strategy either.
And nowhere in the world did countries fare significantly better or worse than in the US. All the political leaders did a poor job and it is dangerous to focus on Trump alone. Trump sure as hell was a terrible president and is a huge asshole and criminal, but that cannot be the reason to associate Covid with him.
Sort countries by deaths per 1M population. Aside from a lot of countries that didnt monitor Covid related deaths or infectins properly because of structural factors there is no relationship establishable between Covid strategy and number of deaths. How many people died in a country probably mostly related to the age of the population, prevalence of smoking, pollution and other factors for respiratory issues.
Contrary to the other commentor, I actually think this is a very reasonable, well rationalized take. I never claimed that biden did better, because I havent looked into that specifically. My only issue is that a lot of trumps policies and actions specifically made it worse. And as far as the spikes under bidens term went, what percentage of those people were unvaccinated, despite a vaccine being available and effective at that point? I havent verified, but id be willing to bet its almost a 1:1 correlation. Just like there is a nearly 1:1 correlation between a certain political party and antivaccine views.
My point being that trumps cult is largely still responsible because he massively helped the antivaxxer movement, despite one of Trumps major 3 good accomplishments (IMO) being the creation of the vaccine. (Created during his term, obv he did not create it himself)
CDC reports the first laboratory-confirmed case of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the U.S. from samples taken on January 18 in Washington state and on the same day activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to respond to the emerging outbreak.“
I guess the first time around the world was just as surprised that there were enough morons to elect him. This time the world was more on the ball.
Which was the final year of Trumps first presidency and Covid lasted well beyond 2020. Most cases and deaths in the US happened under Biden. But it just has nothing to do with either Trump or Biden. It is a global pandemic and the waves hit more or less similarly in all countries.
My original comment implied that the world sent a plague in response to Trump. Having trouble understanding the relevance of your comment. But nice try at a point.
I know reading is hard. You need to group letters to form words and words to form sentences. Take breaks when confused. Use ice or aspirin for any headaches.

You’re taking the joke way too seriously.
Politicians have not taken Covid seriously enough and have not changed anything tangible, so the next pandemics will come and hit us just as hard.
I repeat, it was a joke
You are deliberately missing the joke just to feel correct on the internet. Go to twitter if you want to do that.
Per the CDC
“January 20, 2020
CDC reports the first laboratory-confirmed case of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus in the U.S. from samples taken on January 18 in Washington state and on the same day activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to respond to the emerging outbreak.“

You just forgot what happened Covid wise between 2021 and 2024?
