It's really tragic how right wingers allowed COVID-19 to decimate and ravage America. Right from day one, right wingers turned COVID-19 into a political issue attacking Democrats and then blue states. They accused Democrats of "Liberal Panic" and called the virus a "hoax" while downplaying it each day. Basically, they accused Democrats of making up the coronavirus to attack Trump which is a blatant lie. Not only that, the right wing media got on board to purposely spread disinformation about COVID-19 telling us it was just the "ordinary flu" it was "low risk", it was "already contained" and the worst one of all by the former Minister of Propaganda Kayleigh McEnany, "the coronavirus will never come here". That allowed the gullible connoisseurs of the right wing media aka "the faux news heads" to treat the pandemic as a joke and disregard all the safety protocols put in place to save lives. They refused to wear masks and social distance thus spreading COVID even more than it would have if people were doing the right thing. This was all lie just to protect Trump and the upcoming election.
Finally, in mid March of 2020, Trump decided to declare a national emergency after the damage was done. Major cities like New York were terribly infected with a deadly virus and the elected officials had limited resources to get any help or the supplies they needed. Trump praised China 15 times for their failures and kept lying to us that the "virus will magically disappear" instead of taking action like a real leader needed to. After doctors and nurses were complaining they had no supplies and were using trash bags and diapers for masks and gowns, Trump accused them of stealing the supplies or selling them off for profit and even lied accusing Obama of leaving the supply empty. As the projectionist that Trump is, it turned out that he shipped 17.8 tons of our medical equipment and supplies to China for profit.
After states like New York and Michigan finally got the virus under control, Trump and his goons started demanding to prematuely open up states even before the virus was under control. He had his thugs storm the Capitol in Michigan after he tweeted for them to do it. We had red states like South Dakota refusing to do anything and carried on just like normal. Their disastrous COVID numbers speaks for itself including the Sturgis superspreader that infected the Midwest.
We were never told the virus was airborne until a medical expert came on CNN and stated it. Then other networks and news organizations started reporting the same story. Criminal Donald knew that it was both deadly and airborne but he never told us. He told us it was a "hoax" that was "low risk" and would "magically disappear". It wasn't until Bob Woodward made his private conversation with Trump public that he admitted the virus was both deadly and airborne. Yet, the brainwashed right wing cult didn't care that they were lied to and their lives were in direct danger. Plus thousands already died. For that alone, Criminal Donald needs to spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.
Disregarding health officials pleas to not hold rallies, Trump held covid superspreader rallies anyway where many of his supporters ended up being infected with COVID and a lot eventually died. The virus infections exploded in areas where the hate rallies were held. That amounts to mass murder. Trump killed his own worshippers including Herman Cain who mocked wearing masks at the Tulsa rally where nobody hardly showed up.
Right wingers mocked President Biden and floated lame conspiracy theories about him "hiding in a basement" when there was no place for him to go during a pandemic and for keeping people safe from attending superspreader events. President Biden was setting a positive example and doing the right thing and right wingers attacked him.
The right wing hacks at Faux Propaganda were attacking Democrats for issuing stay at home orders when they were broadcasting from home themselves because the network deemed it not safe to be in the studio. So, they are safe at home but were screaming for people to return to work and kids to be in dangerous environments at school. They are total hypocrites and frauds. You can't make this stuff up.
Trump had no interest in a vaccine and began to push drinking bleach, using sunlight, and Hydroxychloroquine as remedies for quack virus cures. And the right wing media played right along promoting this b.s.
Each time a blue states enforced stay at home orders or mask mandates, right wingers viciously attacked them for trying to save lives and used disinformation to discredit them every step of the way.
Then finally when the vaccine was ready for distribution, con man Trump tried to take full credit for a vaccine when he earlier called COVID a "hoax". And again the sycophants in the right wing media pushed that same lie. His vaccine roll out was a disaster and now we have red states ending mask mandates and going ahead full steam to open up their states even before this virus is crushed. Don't forget that new deadly variants are surging in cities all across America. This ineptness by Republicans will allow more deaths and just take longer to control this pandemic.
This is where we are at today.
Just think if everybody got together and were serious about crushing this pandemic, we would have combated this virus a long time ago and would have had similar results as New Zealand and Australia. If every state issued stay at home orders, everyone wore masks, and contact tracing was heavily used, then we wouldn't have lost so many people and tens of millions would not have been infected. This virus was never political but the right turned it into a political issue as a way to attack Democrats. Nobody likes wearing a mask or not being able to live a normal life, but during dire circumstances you need to adapt to the changes until it's safe to return to normalcy. The fact is because of the stupidity and selfishness of right wingers, they prolonged this virus and made it worse than what it should have been.
Trump, Republicans, and the right wing media had an obligation and a duty to tell truth helping to keep Americans safe. Instead they lied to Americans, spread disinformation, and refused to do anything to keep people safe. If they were honest and actually wanted to control the virus, they would have told the truth from the beginning and would have done anything possible to keep people from getting sick. That's what I thought they would do but instead they lied while hundreds of thousands died. It didn't have to be this way and it's a reason Democrats control the White House and Congress and Faux Propaganda is last in the ratings.
It's tragic Republicans and Trump cult members didn't work hard to control the virus. They didn't put "America First" they pushed lies and their own selfish interests first. That's the very definition of the GOP or should I say QOP.
Now we see red states like Wyoming ending mask mandates and opening up to full capacity further prolonging the virus. Like I said, this is tragic what the right did to America. That's another reason why they are in the minority.
Wyoming will lift mask mandate next weekhttps://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/health/wyoming-will-lift-mask-mandate-next-week/article_59733df9-bc69-5449-a50d-92aa4ff4d1c3.html
