    Actually no! DONALD TRUMP BASICALLY IS RESPONSIBLE for over a half a million American deaths and possibly many millions of deaths around the world because America did not act to prevent the spread of the disease HERE OR around the world either- AS ALL US PRESIDENTS IN THE LAST 100 years have done as world leaders!

    TRUMP IS BASICALLY THE AGENT OF DEATH in that respect!

    Did you get thrown out of the 3rd grade for not shaving- and never studied the history of presidents and pandemics?

    Did you drink DONNIE's Bleach?

    Though the National Review is a Conservative magazine, they weren't at all warm and fuzzy about our great Pres. Trump.

    So, this article helps put into perspective just how Biden might have handled COVID had he been POTUS.

    I post the entire article because it is pretty short in length.

    So, I ask you, When & How Would a Democrat POTUS Have Acted to Stop COVID?
    1. Being honest about COVID
    2. Testing
    3. Tracing

    Requiring masks and shutdown in areas that were hot spots.

    Basically what South Korea did to control COVID

    You would like to imagine that Biden's experience with the Swine flu when he was VP would have better prepared him when Trump issued the travel ban.

    Trump tweets Obama-Biden 'incompetence' caused 17,000 to die of swine flu


    Trump tweets Obama-Biden ‘incompetence’ caused 17,000 to die of swine flu
    By Steven Nelson

    April 17, 2020 | 2:18pm | Updated

    President Trump tore into his presumptive Democratic presidential rival Joe Biden on Friday, saying the “incompetence” of former President Barack Obama and his then-vice president caused 17,000 people to die from swine flu.

    “Biden/Obama were a disaster in handling the H1N1 Swine Flu. Polling at the time showed disastrous approval numbers,” Trump tweeted.

    Trump added: “17,000 people died unnecessarily and through incompetence! Also, don’t forget their 5 Billion Dollar Obamacare website that should have cost close to nothing!”

    Trump has bristled at criticism from Biden during the COVID-19 outbreak, though the two men spoke this month on the phone about the crisis.

    Biden has faulted Trump for allegedly ignoring warnings about the coronavirus before US cases surged and said he implored Trump not to trust China’s early reporting.

    The swine flu, or H1N1, outbreak of 2009 swept widely through the US, infecting up to 84 million Americans, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    The CDC estimated between 8,330 and 17,160 deaths from H1N1 from April 2009 to Jan. 16, 2010.

    Trump and Biden spoke for about 15 minutes on April 6. The men agreed not to divulge the content of the discussion, but Trump told reporters, “We had a really wonderful, warm conversation.”

    The US has the world’s largest publicly acknowledged outbreak of COVID-19, with more than 670,000 cases and nearly 34,000 deaths.

    About 17 million Americans, roughly 10 percent of all workers, lost their jobs in a three-week period due to business closures aimed at slowing the spread of the contagion, according to unemployment insurance data released Thursday.

    Teabagger(www.teaparty.org) BS.

    Three other countries were vaccinating their people, while Dotard was having his ego rallies.

    Dotard promised in November of last year there would be 20 million Americans vaccinated, they vaccinated 2 million.

    December 18 2020
    Pfizer said Thursday that millions of COVID-19 vaccines were sitting in storage because the US government hadn't given it directions on where to send them yet.

    The statement was released a day after Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar suggested at a press conference that the drug company was having "manufacturing challenges," The Hill reported.

    Governors and health officials in more than a dozen states have also complained about getting fewer doses than they expected, according to the Associated Press.

    Illinois, Washington, California, Georgia, Hawaii, and Nevada are getting about half the doses they expected, according to the AP and NBC News.

    Biden took the helm and straightened out Dotard clusterfuck.

    It IS???

    I saw it being reported, by supposedly reputable news outlets, that it was real and authentic.

    Although I didn't notice if the CBS image showed Jimmy tugging his torpedo.

    Or Rosalynn Carter's 'Dwight Eisenhower stare.'

    She was a sweet looking young woman.

    At the beginning of any pandemic, testing it the most important strategy. trump was only able to test less than 500 people in the first month. There were days without any testing whatsoever. Obama tested over a million people in the first month of the swine flu. Obama produced so many tests that we literally ran out of people to reasonably test, and gave them away to foreign countries.

    Along similar lines, trump closed down the CDC office in China. It did not exist to help China, but rather to give us early information about diseases starting in China. Without the CDC office in China, we were forced to beg the Chinese for information. We had to beg Mexico for a sample of the virus. Yes, Mexico was ahead of us, because of trump's failure.

    Moving along, there needed to be a strong, unified statement on social distancing and mask wearing. trump was unable to bring himself to give those.

    Finally, vaccine makers needed direct access to government scientists, rather than having their contact filtered through political appointees who often opposed science. The promised Covid-19 tests to check the spread of the disease among vaccinated people never came.

    I guess I could go on and on... But you get the idea.

    I am going to add something here. This is all a bit of Monday morning quarter backing. We all now see clearly the severe mistakes of trump, but maybe they were not as clear at the time. That being said, I doubt much information gets through to trump. he likes to believe what he likes to believe, and will not listen to experts. I saw a president thinking he was enough of an expert to suggest treatments to the experts, even though he was getting basic facts wrong.

    Are rightys still pretending Trump actually had a meaningful China ban? There were 40,000 people that flew into 16 airports in the US after Trump announced it. Others flew to Europe and flew into America from there. They were not checked.
