All through Trump's term, our Covid per capita death rate was DOUBLE that of countries like Canada & Germany, resulting in about 550,000 Covid deaths under Trump.
If Trump had handled Covid as well as, say, Justin Trudeau, we'd have had 275,000 FEWER DEATHS! Put another way, Trump's mis-management of Covid cost more deaths than THREE Viet Nam wars!! Three Viet Nams in a SINGLE YEAR, not spread out over ten years like the actual war!!!
Sure, Covid came from outside. And different leaders in different countries managed it differently. Trump's piss-poor Covid management is made clear by the relative per capita death rates.
@fanuc2013 More remote nations like Australia & New Zealand did far better than Canada & Germany, but their isolation & lack of land borders are probably big factors in that. South Korea did AMAZINGLY well; they are the example we should all aspire to.
I picked Canada & Germany as comparisons to the US because both nations have large land borders and usually tons of travelers.
We saw Covid spread silenty in Italy & France and then start popping up all over. Trump's big mistake was ignoring that and trying to do "business as usual" for those five weeks, even though he knew early on that Covid was very dangerous.
Trump, Feb. 07 to Woodward: “It goes through the air. That’s always tougher than the touch. You don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus.”
Did any other world leader do any better?

"I look at it this way," Birx told CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent Sanjay Gupta. "The first time, we have an excuse. There were about 100,000 deaths that came from that original surge. All of the rest of them, in my mind, could have been mitigated or decreased substantially."

He might have been listening, but he deff. didn't execute what was proposed to him. Exactly because Fauci was connected to the democratic party, even though Fauci helped several administrations, and even got a medal by George W. Bush in 2008 for his AIDS relief program.
It's Donald Trump and the MAGA-republicans and the MAGA-base that politicized COVID to a toxic degree. And everything that lives outside the MAGA circle, is automatically evil and shouldn't be listened too. That's why they threw out the plan that was made during the Obama era to help upcomming administrations when a pandemic breaks out.
So yeah... pointing at Fauci when we are talking about Trump, is like having your cake and eating it too. On one side Fauci wasn't listened too, but we also blame him for the consequences of not following procedures he suggested.
Trump was listening to Fauci who was supposed to be the expert on the subject! And is now one of the darlings of the democrats!
