We need some real leadership at the top if we're ever going to contain this thing, and that clearly will not come from Trump, who has done nothing but twiddle his fingers as 200,000 Americans died. I have no difficulty imagining a doubling of that number if we keep this do-nothing, know-nothing fool in office, because he has no plan, and has no plan to even think about creating a plan.

His entire "plan" is to continue to do nothing. And here we are.
Governors run states. Presidents run the country. What are you expecting the president to do to 50 states?

Research his COVID advisers. They are *unanimously* in favor of further restrictions
Here is the thing, how can he even say this and people actually believe him ? CV-19 is not going away. It's ones responsibility to distance, sanitize, and mask up. Some choose to do so, others don't. How is he going to make sure everyone does ?

Also, in another post I showed some links to maps in my state. One map was the covid hotspots throughout the state, the one was a map of all the colleges, and the last one was were protests were held. With the exception of a couple of areas....they maps pretty much overlapped. That tells me the kids that are in college are not practicing what they should be. So, Biden is going to be the savior ? He is going to change all this ? Right....

Just disagree with this part. Other countries that limited travel from China did much better.
And proven stay at home slowed down they spread. So Dems encouraging people to go out more VS stay at home . But agree same number would evidently become infected no matter what we did.
If there is a vaccine then slowing it down would have an effect.

Still waiting for some evidence that Biden even actually said this

Is there some reason you continue with this false narrative, or do you just not get it?

No one dies of just Covid-19. If the death certificate says they had Covid-19 and pneumonia, in most cases the pneumonia was a symptom of the Covid-19 infection. They died of pneumonia, but it was caused by Covid-19. Same with respiratory distress and multiple organ failure. All of these can result from Covid-19 infection.

So yes, I believe the CDC, which reports as of today 196,277 deaths
