Were we misled about masks not helping? Probably, but the general public was already hoarding a very limited supply of masks so much that medical workers couldn't get them. And since the official stance from the Federal government was that this wasn't all that serious, and we don't need to ramp up production, we weren't going to be getting more soon.<br /><br />We can go back and forth about the numbers, but they are much, much higher than they would be if DJT hadn't treated Covid is a personal affront to turn into political hay. He should have easily won a second term; his COVID response was the key to his loss.Antibubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194983440707702769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-60193797040215686172021-02-24T23:57:44.562-05:002021-02-24T23:57:44.562-05:00I love how the Trump supporters are not just stupi...I love how the Trump supporters are not just stupid, they're *blind.* Anyone with a brain can see that the chart of deaths is different for the past year, but the morons are incapable of accepting facts that contradict their BS.
