How much worse will it get on Biden's watch?
So, what's the problem? Is it because Biden isn't requiring more mandatory covid vaccinations as well as shutting down things and require masks? If not any of that, what does Biden need to do to shut down covid?

In all honesty, I never blamed Trump for the Covid pandemic, even though I fall left of center. He just had the terrible luck to be in office when it hit. I do believe his administration could have done a better job of managing the crisis, but Covid most likely would have overwhelmed even the most prepared of presidents.

At this stage it should be about solutions, not still people feeling helpless and all they know to do is to complain and be scared.

So what has Biden done with all the vaccines and therapies he inherited that resulted in fewer deaths than on Trump's watch without those items until the end? Before you answer, understand Biden has more Covid deaths on his watch.

His administration also did not figure there would be so much resistance to getting vaccinated in certain populations. It isn't just a smattering of people spread out evenly among the vaccinated population. There are large geographical areas where a majority of the population have refused or delayed the shots that are proving to be an inroads for this virus into the general population.

Who would have known?
Yes, most everyone knew another variant would arrive. That's what viruses do. That's science. Anyone following science knew this. Democrats don't follow science though. They are only concerned about politics.

KF-94s, made in Korea, are also effective, and they're very comfortable. We've used them all through the pandemic, even in high risk situations and, so far, so good.

But the big problem is that conspiracy theory nuts insist that the covid vaccines utterly destroy the immune system leaving you vulnerable to numerous infections. In effect, it's like having AIDS. As long as people keep buying their snake oil they will keep pushing.

The question is not what has Biden done but rather what have we, as individuals, done with the available vaccines and therapies? A president can do only so much, and that's as true for Biden as it was for Trump. Ultimately, it's up to us to mitigate our risk of infection and its spread to others.
