Every life is precious. Such an unfortunate situation where all of this or at least the majority of it could’ve been minimized and/or prevented.

As of today, 187,654 deaths.

It is spreading in Spain again and the UK had more cases firing up.



Ebola never spread . It stayed in Africa. It was not that contagious.



Check out the numbers.. Brazil is getting hit hard and also India. Here are the numbers around the world.

Why do the Trump supporters need a vaccine if they think it's a hoax?

It is neither a hoax nor a psyop.

It is a virus doing what viruses do, and the measures needed to reduce its spread are nothing new, just basic epidemiology.

Yes it is a virus. What’s scary is what will happen this fall/winter.

I am getting a bit tired of blaming those deaths on Trump without mentioning state and local authorities that are not following CDC guidelines.

It's on his watch.

He closed the pandemic office and never restocked inventories for emergency purposes during his three and a half years for which he had plenty of opportunity.

Ebola does not spread like COVID 19. First Ebola has a much higher mortality rate, so the carrier is not able to travel to many locations to spread it, this is part of the reason why it mostly stayed in West Africa. Also Ebola is spread through close contact with infected bodily fluids, it is not contagious like COVID-19, which is a highly airborne virus.

Obama did not restock depleted PPE inventories, either, the fault there being partisan politics and the inability of Republicans and Democrats to collaborate for the common good of the country.

The pandemic response was reorganized, not eliminated.
