Dude you have worked yourself into a right frenzied lather here.
Just basic facts. Here is the link:
COVID Live Update: 261,475,525 Cases and 5,215,099 Deaths from the Coronavirus - Worldometer
Live statistics and coronavirus news tracking the number of confirmed cases, recovered patients, tests, and death toll due to the COVID-19 coronavirus from Wuhan, China. Coronavirus counter with new cases, deaths, and number of tests per 1 Million population. Historical data and info. Daily...www.worldometers.info
Here is a fact:
The first known outbreak occurred in early December of 2019 and the spread was not fully understood until late December of 2019 to early January of 2020.
So now when you take that into account you realize the amount of people that have been infected and not tested around the World is higher than the confirm cases should tell you a lot more but my bet you will lie and deny this and why?
If you know there were more cases that were not caught because people were misdiagnosed or were asymptomatic then you would realize the fatality rate of the virus is lower than the number those like you use, and you can not have that happen in a election because if the number is lower it mean the virus is not as deadly as first thought but just very contagious...
I know you and the left will dispute what I wrote and later claim you were going off the misleading data to support your hysteria but if you had any sense in that head of yours you would know many have been infected and either got over it or are asymptomatic while never being tested!
I'm a Republican, a Bush/McCain Republican.
You can't know what the exact death rate is until you have a large volume of testing. Trump sat on his hands in January and February when it came to ramping up testing. When you don't know what the true death rate is, from a policy perspective, you MUST assume the worse. To do anything less would be grossly negligent and irresponsible.
The United States is NOW the epicenter of the pandemic with over 85,000 cases, more than any country on the planet. The United States had its first confirmed case on January 19, 2020. If the United States had closely followed Chinese lockdown procedures in January and February, we'd only have maybe a 1,000 cases at best, kind of like Japan that only has 1,387 cases. The United States had a head start in fighting this pandemic and Trump failed to take it.
The factoid that illustrates Trump's failure is Japan's confirmed cases compared to United States confirmed cases:
CONFIRMED CASES OF CORONAVIRUS:
United States: 85,906
Japan: 1,387
Japan is 27 times larger, in population, than the State of Louisiana, but only has half as many cases of the virus as Louisiana.
The United States could have been like Japan, but Trump failed to act in January and February.
