As of yesterday, October 1, 2021, 694,701 US citizens have died from the Trump/Republican Plague and that’s just the reported stats. We’re nearly up to 700,000 avoidable deaths. If The Former Guy hadn’t dumped the precautions which the Obama admin set up how many people would have died from COVID. Per capita, we aren’t the worst at handling the pandemic (that title currently belongs to the Philippines ) but we most assuredly aren’t the best (that’d be Tanzania).
From Statista (a site rated least biased by the site Media Bias/Fact Check). These numbers are per capita from the plague's start (versus the number of dead from the last week or month).
Death rates from coronavirus (COVID-19) in the United States as of October 1, 2021, by state (per 100,000 people).Go to the link to see the other 29 states . n.b., for as bad as New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts (blue states) were in the beginning, Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama (red states) are right up there.
Let’s not forget that:
the Trump administration’s disregard for the massive loss of life was not equal: According to a Washington Post report from March 28, hard-hit, Democratic-leaning states like Massachusetts received only 17 percent of the protective gear requested from the national stockpile, while GOP-led Florida promptly received supplies it needed, despite a controlled outbreak at the time. (source)And
“Treating the coronavirus as a blue-state problem was a fairly widespread approach in the West Wing.” (source)How many of your friends and family died due to 45 and JarJar’s greedheaded inhumanity. Make no mistake, Felicity and 700,000 other loved ones aren’t dead due to Fuckwad and Company’s stratospheric incompetence alone. These shitheelian, toad-brained, barbaric fucks engineered this shit.
Me? I absolutely know that Biden/Harris have a fuckton of shit to fix and undo from Bozo the Bin Brain’s reign of terror. Not all of it can be mended with sticky tape and glue either. They can’t bring everyone back from the dead—not even as zombies (which wouldn’t be fun anyway).
There’s no Control+Z for the planet or this country. SO GET OUT AND VOTE!!! The Dem candidates aren’t dark chocolate, cream filled, sparkly fairy dust covered unicorns but, with our votes they can save us from the on-the-take idiocracy of the ‘right.’ First we get out of hell, then we bring in the chocolate frosted ponies.
