You do realize trump wanted a fast cure. Traditional vaccines take at least 10 years to develop so they were out of the picture. The pandemic response was suppose to be a non-political venture of the people. Trump blew that too. You can't blame Democrats for the course of events that transpired but you can blame trump for the confused, disunified response. And any pandemic that kills 7 million people worldwide isn't just a bad cold. Even today when the pandemic is officially over, nearly 400 people a day are still dying from Covid. Despite our pitiful record, it could have been much worse.
