Remember too that when Trump shut down travel from China, he was labeled a hateful xenophobe. Remember Nancy wanted us to hold hands and go dancing down in China town. Chucky Schumer and Cuomo wanted business as usual. Democrats flipped a 180 once they saw that they could turn this crisis into an opportunity.

The only thing I will give you is the dismantling of the pandemic response programs, which admittedly I know very little about. How much would it have helped? Hard to say, it never really seemed like our hospitals were taxed beyond capacity. We never ran out of ventilators or masks. The Hospital Ship mercy was never used, although it may have been a good place to send older covid patients rather than forcing them into nursing homes (see Andrew Cuomo)

Its easy to monday morning quarterback, but even removing that, Trump responded with a balanced approach.

How many people will die because of our over reaction to Covid? How many people will commit suicide, die from addictions started or exacerbated by a draconian covid response? How much wealth has our nation lost, which in time translates into better care for our people.
Tell that to the 4 people I know or am related to who have died from COVID at young ages while they had zero health conditions. Your statement is so insensitive and ignorant. You are a horrendous human being.

That's obviously tragic and unfortunate, but *extremely* unlikely for the vast majority of young healthy people. Lots of diseases kill people. I do not call other human beings "horrendous" because they don't panic and hide in their house from influenza, which objectively kills more healthy young people than covid does. Please calm down and think rationally.

I actually already responded to you awhile back with stats disproving your flu claim.

I don’t panic either, but to downplay it and allow people to justify not taking proper precautions is insulting and idiotic.

What ages?

I know people that have died from Covid. I also know people that died from the flu.

Frankly, young people should be more worried about suicide than covid.
