As the U.S. death toll from COVID-19 approaches half a million, a new report says nearly 40% of the deaths were avoidable. By comparing the pandemic in the U.S. to other high-income nations, the medical journal The Lancet found significant gaps in former President Donald Trump’s “inept and insufficient” response to COVID-19, as well as decades of destructive public policy decisions. One of the report’s recommendations is reforming the system to a single-payer model like Medicare for All, which President Joe Biden has so far rejected in favor of bolstering the Affordable Care Act. “The Affordable Care Act still left millions of people — 29 million people — without healthcare insurance coverage,” says Dr. Mary Bassett, one of the authors of The Lancet report. “Single payer would address that.”

>The one where he closed the borders You mean the plan where he only closed travel to China, forgetting that it was a pandemic and the disease was already global? Oh, and this border closure had exceptions for American citizens, because he seemed to think that Americans couldn't carry the disease or something (and this might not even be a joke, I remember faggots on this site claiming that only asians could catch the virus and that Italy was hit hard "because it has a large asian minority" or some shit). It's almost as if he didn't close the borders at all, and just did some minor action so rabid nationalists could label it a win. Hell, the overly narrow travel ban is what prompted those dumb chinatown comments to begin with, a proper shutdown never would have prompted them (though I'm sure they'd still complain, this is American politics after all).

The irony is, had Trump even half heartedly dealt with the pandemic as the virologists and CDC were recommending, he likely would have won reelection. And he admitted in the March taped interviews with Bernstein that he knew it was 10X more deadly and contagious than the flu, but preferred to lie to the American people because he so despises them he believed "they cannot handle the truth." And he was warned by his campaign staff that he needed to strongly address the pandemic because his ignoring it was not playing well among independents, suburban soccer moms and even those of his base 65+ yo. So what does the bumbling fool do? Hire Atlas, a radiologist ffs, to be the MD authority professing "herd immunity" by infecting everyone as the solution.
If I were conspiracy minded like 60% of the Orange Fool's base, I would believe Putin called him up and said, "Look Donny, you fucked America up internationally by pulling your head into your shell allowing China and us to fill the void you left, but we need you to destroy America economically and domestically. OK, Donny? You remember that info we showed you at the summit can be released any time, right Donny? Get to work, and complete your destruction of America."
