That is one of the absolute DUMBEST posts I've seen in a long time. so reducing the death rate of the virus is not dealing with it ? HA HA HA. I have to laugh. coudn;t contain myself.You accused Pete of lying...
1. Buttigieg said "our country is doing the worst of any developed nation, when it come to dealing with the coronavirus"
LIE! The US has a very low death rate (only 3.14%) relative to many developed and undeveloped countries. This is lower than Italy, UK, France , Belgium, Hungary, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, Iran, Egypt, China, Switzerland, Finland, Romania, Germany, Denmark, Bulgaria, Portugal, Lithuania, Poland, Brazil.
COVID-19 death rate by country 2022 | Statista
COVID-19 deaths per capita were 2 to 3 times higher in Italy, the UK and Belgium than in the United States.www.statista.com
That is not a lie...
1. This is about dealing with the virus not the outcome. Some countries got hit harder and earlier that the US and then dealt with it better than the US..
You only want to count Deaths today... Not present infection rates, the lack of a major response, lack of coordination, ...
As for your country list... Mexico, Brazil, Eygpt , China... are not developed nations. There is also the under reporting in that excess deaths numbers per captia in US is worse than all the other apart from UK...
I could say UK is doing worse than the US but look at the numbers today... UK is averaging about 10 deaths a day for the last week... US is about a 1000 a day...
So it is clearly not lie, hardly bent the truth...
Not likely a statement doesn't make it a lie. Now calling Pete's response a lie wasn't necessarily a lie either as you could be misinformed and asked what you believe to be truthful... This could because you are gullible and easily manipulated by power of suggestion.
Earth to Cowboy Ted: Reducing Covid deaths is not only dealing with the virus, it is the MOST IMPORTANT part of that dealing.
Now let's take each of your IDIOTIC statement s one by one.
1. " lack of a major response, lack of coordination," Yeah ? Here's question for you, since you're claiming there was a lack of major response (maybe you think the death rate has plummetd all on it own, huh ?), that indicates that you have set a definition for what response there has been, so what is your TOTAL assessment of that response ?
2. "infection rates" are something that has little to do with the POTUS, as liar Buttigieg tried to claim. It has more to do with millions of people all over the country taking precautions or not (social distancing, avoiding closely packed crowds, etc).
3. We come back to definitions again, what is your definition of a "developed country" ? Note that I said >> "relative to many developed and undeveloped countries" And in my list I included many developed countries which don't have as low a Covid mortality rate as the US (Italy, UK, France , Belgium, Hungary, , Netherlands, Spain, Canada, Sweden, Ireland, , Switzerland, Finland, Romania, Germany, Denmark, Bulgaria, Portugal, Lithuania, Poland)

4. So the US Covid death rate is at about 1,000/day Covid deaths huh ? Let me guess where you might have picked up that VERY WRONG number. CNN ? MSNBC ? NBC ? ABC ? CBS ? PBS ? The New York Laughingstock Times ? Washington Post ?
The correct number is 2307/WEEK (ie. 329/day)

5. So yes, Buttigieg was lying. Now calling Buttigieg's response the truth wasn't necessarily a lie either, as you could be misinformed, and asked what you believe to be truthful... This could because you are gullible and easily manipulated by power of suggestion.
