As a nation we are getting our butts kicked by this virus. It isn't Trump's fault, we simply failed so blatantly miserably to be ready for a pandemic it's mind boggling. I am very very disappointed in my country. We should have been ready years and years ago.

I hate how you douche bags cherry pick studies that fit your narrative and ignore the rest. Grow the fuck up.
