All I can say is this is one amazing story to read. It blasts the hell out of Trumpism, conservatism, and the GOP.
From The Lancet:
The report, titled "Public policy and health in the Trump era" features this summary:
"The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a disproportionate effect on the USA, with more than 26 million diagnosed cases and over 450 000 deaths as of early February, 2021, about 40% of which could have been averted had the US death rate mirrored the weighted average of the other G7 nations."
"Many of the cases and deaths were avoidable. Instead of galvanising the US populace to fight the pandemic, President Trump publicly dismissed its threat (despite privately acknowledging it), discouraged action as infection spread, and eschewed international cooperation. His refusal to develop a national strategy worsened shortages of personal protective equipment and diagnostic tests. President Trump politicised mask-wearing and school reopenings and convened indoor events attended by thousands, where masks were discouraged and physical distancing was impossible."

Except all the leftwing politicians in the US and Europe were dismissing the virus too, telling people to go to Chinatown or “hug a Chinese person”, because racism was more dangerous than the virus.
