    But… it could have been worse. Losing only 0.25% of a population during a world wide pandemic is, by all accounts in the scientific/medical field, considered a success.

      The US had the highest deaths per capita from Covid. It was bad because so many people angry at covid would listen to anyone who made them angrier, by first denying it actually existed, then later, that vaccines were an attempt to murder them.

      In top 50 worst things Trump has ever done, make covid worse in blue states/cities to claim that democrats are incompetent.

        I realized by the covid response and his tone deaf re-election crap that Trump didn’t care about anyone that wasn’t Donald Trump.

        At this point, pretty much anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that.

        But there was a time when I thought he was just a misogynistic shitty racist old man.

      Well, we were lucky in that the virus had a relatively low fatality rate for a vast majority of Americans.
