Onset of COVID symptoms occurs 2-14 weeks after infection.
Death occurs 2-8 weeks after the onset of symptoms.
Just as CDC projected, January became the deadliest month of the pandemic, coming off the holidays, followed by February.
Just as CDC projected, the US would cross the 500,000 fatality mark in February.
Humans release respiratory droplets when they exhale.
Masks don’t do much for the wearer. Instead it minimizes the wearer’s respiratory droplets from reaching others. Most people are not double masking. Most people don’t spend time in federal buildings.
For whatever reason the Trump Admin declined options to acquire more Pfizer vaccines in June. There is a 6 + month lead time between order and delivery.
Politicians tend to over promise and under deliver, especially in election years.
For political gain, Trump created a perception that there would be 100 million vaccines available by year end. His own Admin contradicted him. Reality was there were only 20 million +/- doses available.
On 12/23, the Trump Admin ordered an additional 100 million doses with 80 million to be available by 6/30 and the balance of 7/31.
We will be swimming in vaccine at some point, this summer.
June? At that time we were told the vaccine was still years off
The reality was anything but and that tone was set at the top from the start.
Trump agreed to 18 RECORDED interviews with Bob Woodward, beginning in December, 2019.
In January, Trump disclosed to Woodward he had been advised COVID-19 was deadlier than the Spanish Flu and that it would become the biggest national security threat he would face. At the same time, Trump publicly downplayed the risk to the public, including making it analogous with the flu and promising a shot would soon be available. This was immediately echoed by Rush Limbaugh who characterized COVID as a cold. Most of the right wing media did likewise.
Woodward acknowledges the stark differences between Trump’s recorded disclosures to him vs the public and wondered which version was true.
Woodard told Trump during the final recorded call in August that the book was going to be tough on him. 1.5 hours later Trump tweeted the book is a fake. WAPO got the rights to publish all 18 tapes. Trump tweeted WAPO was fake news.
Trump typically refers to any media that reports anything unflattering about him as fakes news.
Took Trump 11 months to kill off 400K, it took China joe 1 month to kill off 100K. So 1.1 million in the same time as Trump if we extrapolate it out.
Yup, Joe Biden will have a far higher death count than Trump. The vaccines, mask mandates, travel bans, and lock downs won't matter. There's already multiple strains and variants of COVID.
Hey, the numbers are greatly improving, down 28%, unlike with Trump where they were going from bad to worse, so what's not to like? Biden's doing a great job.
The only thing that can be done now is expedite the vaccines. The horse has been out of the barn for too long. The maskless morons will continue to spread disease, death and economic destruction regardless of who is President.

The name calling has worked wonders in converting people over to your "science"
It looks like telling everyone to wear 2 masks and making masks mandatory on federal property did absolutely nothing.
Great job, Biden. You and your supporters killed over 100,000 Americans because of your stupid response. Biden actually laid the groundwork for this when the Obama/Biden administration failed to plan for a pandemic.
You believe that COVID is not a hoax and people die from it? How do you believe people catch the virus?
BTW, the daily death toll climbed to over 3K under trump. Some days over 5K
Why didn’t Obama start preparing while president if he knew it was coming? ( how he knew, is another question) why didn’t he warn hospitals to get better prepared? Why didn’t he push for mor ventilators, more antibacterial lotions, face masks?
I totally support a national healthcare system also!
You and Biden promised to end COVID deaths. Didn’t happen.
