As I've been saying all along, none of this had to happen.
I was basing that on the fact that trump tore apart our system to prevent this from happening.
I now include basing this on the fact that trump has known the truth about the virus from the start and not only didn't do anything about it, he actually did and said things he knew that would make the situation worse.
He didn't take any proper steps for contact tracing and testing. He didn't take any proper steps to make sure we had enough PPE and medical supplies and equipment.
He refused the WHO tests which guaranteed that we wouldn't have a uniform test that actually worked all the time.
Then all the lies for months on end and to this day about this.
He sent out tweets to liberate Michigan and other states knowing that it would cause the virus to spread there and other states. He held large gatherings knowing that it would spread the virus more.
Most of what he did was actions that would guarantee the mess we're in now. In fact, a worse mess, since some governors took quick action while others followed trump and didn't take action quickly.
All with trump encouraging those governors to take actions that guaranteed that the virus would spread more causing more needless deaths and suffering.
I am so sick and tired of the lies and excuses.
