This is such a bullshit headline that hides the actual underlying problem.
40 percent of COVID-19 pandemic deaths in 2020 would have been averted if America's mortality rate was equivalent to other wealthy peer nations
What actions from the Democrat controlled government have changed course at all from Trump's policies? None.
Nothing would be different, except people would be somehow even more accepting of a half million dead in the USA.
Lol isn't the DEMOCRAT governor of NY trying to open schools again? But yeah it's all trump's fault.
like we can definitely lay a large portion of the unpreparedness at trump's feet - lack of initial supplies as he de-funded the pandemic response team and he veto'd the post office's plan to send masks to people.
But every single politican ghoul would still have done this anti-science "we'll just kinda close down but allow open dining and church gatherings and school" thing because they're more beholden to The Line and wouldn't be wiling to close the economy. I mean shit, they're not even willing to give us a monthly stipend or a single 2k check even with dems taking over all of federal branch.
Also most states would still be fucked beyond belief because they are not required to listen to the fed government on any of this so far. Like, federally, they can't set state law like this other than some guidelines.
The Democrat governor of NY is trying to open stadiums for pro sports again. To the fucking moon, I guess.
