Foremost the virus was not Trump's fault it came out of Wuhan Lab. To answer the question Trump localized the burden of command to the states. Governors then took executive action. In Michigan Whitmore decided to put infected patients with COVID in nursing homes effectively killing the elderly. Was that Trump's fault?
The pandemic is a convenient culture war battle ground for each side to spite the other. My opinion won't be popular but my life doesn't stop where your fear begins. I completely disregarded all orders and rules then worked as normal. I was the first to demask. You wouldn't believe how many people thanked me as they walked into the store and took off their mask after seeing one man simply dissenting against the bullshit.
Most ppl wore bandanas or surgical masks which were not designed as shields against germs. One was designed so doctors would not spit into patients during surgery. It was never meant to be worn for 8 hours. Now ppl have micro plastics in their lungs. They're certainly not respirators which several liberals tried to convince me they were.
I know the liberals will whine and bitch that the uneducated republicans are killing everyone. But will they call Whitmore out? Will they call out AOC who was dining out in public in Florida and sunbathing on a crowded beach as her constituents were under authoritarian lockdown measures? No.
It's just Trump derangement syndrome and culture war bullshit. Most liberals jabbed from the very vaccine made possible by Warp Speed and Trump's executive action.
I'm not going to say Trump's actions were perfect. Biden and the DNC decried Trump's decision to ban international flights from China and other places as racism during the pandemic.
I'm just sick of the bullshit. It's not all Trumps fault. The democrats had their stinky hands in the COVID deaths too.
