You sure are stupid. Once that virus hit our shores people were going to die. Nothing anyone said or did would have stopped it and it you weren't a Trump hating idiot you would admit that. Its a pandemic shit for brains. It kills and once it got here that was a sure thing, And of course businesses would close and people would be on UE. That would have happened no matter who was in the WH.
The question wasn't IF people were going to die, it was "how many" More people died because Trump was in the White House because of his actions or lack of actions... that's the point. He made mask wearing a cultural issue. He downplayed the virus, engaged in magical thinking, attacked the governors who were trying to contain it.
Compared to other industrialized nations where the leaders took the right actions, our death toll has been much higher.
Trump did all he could to prepare us for this virus. He had the mask making companies ready to go, ventilators ready to be sent where needed and a hospital ship parked in NY harbor. A ship none of the Dem idiots running the city ever used.
Because the ship was kind of useless... it wasn't set up for that sort of thing.
Again, the problem wasn't treatment, it was containment... and when Typhoid Donnie kept holding super-spreader events, he made things a lot worse than they needed to be.
You want to assign blame, then blame the Chinese who didn't lock their country down and let the virus loose on the world.
Actually, the Chinese DID lock down their country, that's why they were able to contain it to only a few thousand deaths... They were able to contain it to Wuhan. Now, of course, the lack of mobility among Chinese people along with the fact theywere a communist dictatorship who would just shoot you for not wearing a mask, probably helped, but wouldn't be tolerated here.
