If I were to hazard a guess, the 200,000 deaths recorded, so far, only include those who died in hospital and not at home because they couldn’t afford to go to the hospital. The actual count probably is much, much higher – not that the death cult the republican party has become actually cares, mind you!
It WAS HIS ACTION!!! Well, also inaction. Just about every time he made a decision, it was the wrong one. Trump says that “No one could have seen this coming". In December 2014, Obama warned the United States: “There may and likely will come a time in which we have both an airborne disease that is deadly, and in order for us to deal with that effectively, we have to put in place an infrastructure—not just here at home, but globally—that allows us to see it quickly, isolate it quickly, respond to it quickly, so that if and when a new strain of flu crops up five years from now or a decade from now, we’ve made the investment and we’re further along to be able to catch it.” They sat up a White House Pandemic response team, which had clinics worldwide, including the area of China where Covid 19 originated. In 2014 during the Ebola outbreak, They created treatment centers in that region, provided supplies, and conducted aggressive contact tracing to limit its spread beyond Western Africa. Only one person in the United States died from Ebola after traveling from West Africa to Dallas, Texas. To help the incoming administration be better prepared to fight future pandemics, officials under President Obama took what they learned from these battles and prepared a 69-page playbook written by Obama’s National Security Council, which detailed strategies for responding to a potential pandemic. Outgoing Obama administration officials briefed Trump’s top aides on the potential dangers of a pandemic. And, Trump’s first budget cut the pandemic response team out of the budget. Then when it was needed, but no longer there, Trump tried to downplay the plague, spreading misinformation and contradicting his own medical and scientific advisors. They wasted nearly two months needed to bolster the federal stockpile of supplies and equipment. By then, it was too late. Trump likes naming things after himself. This is one he really earned— The Trump Plague.

Hey Tiny, no matter where you go, folks are dying because of your actions, or is it your lack of action?

Lucky none of this is Trump’s fault, or he might get voted out.
