Oh really?

Or to put it another way: the TDS psycho anti-Trumpsters are responsible for the bulk of the USA COVID-19 deaths.

That would have been a percentage of the preventable deaths of those that were under treatment. Preventable, as in being admitted to a hospital that had available ICU beds, staff and appropriate equipment. And being admitted at a point in their case where permanent lung, heart and brain damage hadn't progressed to a point where any cure would be futile.

Now, there's this saying that prevention is the best cure. In most of Europe, once the gravity of the pandemic became evident, measures were put in place to keep spreading at bay. Social distancing, face masks in public places and shops, and even strict lockdowns. It proved effective. Even Lombardy is now down to single-digit daily COVID19 deaths.

Compare that to the US, where a bloviating orange loon has basically ignored the problem until he really couldn't, and all his lackeys and bootlickers following his example. Keeping science out of it and promoting unproven, weird, and in some cases downright damaging 'cures' (injecting bleach? What the everloving fuck?) has propelled the US to the #3 spot in the current mortality rankings, with only Brazil and Mexico ahead.
