It’s amazing to think about it now. But Life Sucked Four Years Ago! Most of 🇺🇸 had friends or family die of Covid. But, We Americans own the Title of Most (Americans) Killed by Covid-19 than any other Country in the World. Four years ago, Covid-19 sucked the Big One!

1.2 Million! And America should never had so many Deaths! Why did this Happen?

Stupid People were in Charge! Trump was so wishy-washy always spinning weird stuff about Covid that simply wasn’t true. And racing to one Blow-up of Misinformation after another.

Trump’s Coronavirus Response Was Beyond Incompetent https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/10/opinion/donald-trump-coronavirus.html?

But ultra-secretive China only reported 5,272 Deaths. What a bunch of Bull. Other expert analysis has it at 1.1 Million Chinese Deaths.

Let’s be clear: A private citizen who did what we now know Trump did would definitely be in big legal trouble. For example, think of the lawsuits likely brought against a corporate C.E.O. who knew that his company’s workplace was dangerous, but lied about it, refused to take any precautions and threatened workers with dismissal if they failed to come in. In other words, a large fraction of the more than 200,000 Americans who will surely die of Covid-19 by Election Day will have been victims of something much worse than mere negligence.

I thought that Donald Trump’s disastrous mishandling of Covid-19 was basically negligence, even if that negligence was willful — that is, that he failed to understand the gravity of the threat because he didn’t want to hear about it and refused to take actions that could have saved thousands of American lives because actually doing effective policy isn’t his kind of thing.

But I was wrong. According to Bob Woodward’s new book, “Rage,” Trump wasn’t oblivious; he knew by early February that Covid-19 was both deadly and airborne. And this isn’t a case of conflicting recollections: Woodward has Trump on tape. Yet Trump continued to hold large indoor rallies, disparage precautionary measures and pressure states to reopen business despite the risk of infection.
