I couldn't disagree more with this. Trump has done everything possible to make the United States number 1 in covid cases and deaths. No other country in the world is even close.

On a daily basis, your "regular virus" is the third leading cause of death in the US, after heart disease and cancer.
Why would we need this medication? I thought cases were going to go to zero back in February? Is the pandemic still going on? I thought everyone was just being antisocial and these masks were just a new fashion trend.
Snark aside - I want things back to normal sooner rather than later. If that helps Trump's chances, so be it. I don't intend on voting for Trump but not only do we have 130k+ dead Americans but we will also have hundreds of thousands of Americans with long-lasting organ damage from COVID-19. If there is some medication out there that spares another 130k Americans and possibly mitigates other damage from the virus, that's great news.
If America emerges from this pandemic before Election Day, it won't be because of Trump's leadership. But 40% of the country will think so anyway.
I do too but the way Republicans want us to return to normalcy and the speed of such return is not the right way to go about it. Trump put out a plan, only New York really followed it. When governors went against it and announced openings on their own metrics, he dropped the guidelines. However school reopenings he is being very hands on about.
The OP is operating in his Fox News alternate reality while Dr. Bartlett runs for Congress.

I've read your posts for years. To you everything is leftist propaganda if it wasn't tweeted by Mussolini.
