DURING PANDEMIC, TRUMP HIMSELF WAS A COMORBIDITY
Trump keeps asking if you are better off now than four years ago; The answer: on December 9, 2020, the United States experienced 3,054 Covid deaths; on that same day, states reported 209,822 new cases with 106,688 hospitalized;
Refrigerated cadaver trucks were parked outside hospitals to accommodate the overflow of victims from the hospital morgues; on December 16, 2020 there were 3,518 deaths and 242,490 new cases; on February 12, 2021 there were 5,463 deaths;
Exhausted hospital workers commented bitterly that “Trump was a comorbidity” in and of himself; any serious study of the Covid pandemic exposes the malfeasance and nonfeasance of Trump as decisive factors in opening the gates to a virus which has so far slain 1.2 million Americans; Trump staff correctly regarded the pandemic as the main cause of Trump’s 2020 defeat;
There is still time for the Democratic Party to remind the American people of these horrible truths--all the more so since Trump now plans to install raving anti-vaxxer crackpot Robert F Kennedy as public health czar in control of HHS, FDA, CDC, NIH, USDA, and related agencies, reviving long extinct contagions in time for monkey pox, avian flu, and a host of other diseases;
Biden’s “garbage” remark is likely to help his party’s ticket by reassuring voters who may fear that Democrats are not tough enough to fight fascists!
