...There’s another problem with the left’s attempts to blame Trump — the data don’t support it.

As of this writing, there were 811 confirmed cases of coronavirus per million people in the U.S. In supposedly more enlightened countries such as Switzerland, the rate is 2,302 per million. In Germany, it’s 1,083. In Norway, 996.

The fatality rate in Italy is 12%. In France, it’s 10%. In Sweden, it’s almost 6%. In the U.S., it’s 2.6%.

In terms of deaths per million population, the U.S. ranks below Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy and 10 other countries.

Whatever Trump is doing, it’s far better than those countries...

Much of what is contained in this piece, while good, has been written about in many places, so I just abstracted a point that I think has not been discussed enough.

Caveat warning: Of course, the statistics are subject to change as time goes on.

If we didn’t test for COVID at all, our death rate from COVID would be ZERO.

"data don’t support it"

It's hard to remember that data are plural.

Doesn’t matter. After this horse$h!t is over, the entire leftist establishment is going to blame Trump. Talking heads. Congressional Committees to investigate Trump. Impeachment, part II. Trump has faced a lot, and they’re going to make his life difficult this year and next too.

They really rot! They are ramping up to use this disease and the deaths to get rid of Trump. Makes me wonder if it wasn’t planned from the first sick bat.

That is true, but the longer one can keep the contagion down the closer to the time when a treatment is found and/or is accepted by the medical community. Also, closer to the summer when the sun's UV-light will virus on exposed surfaces and reduce the contagion to some extent.

President Trump is an island in the District of Corruption surrounded by the reptiles of the swamp.

Current circumstances prove this. We now have the medical swamp dictating economic policy. A lot of good that does.

The swamp will keep coming up with more reasons to show this virus is the scourge of the earth and if we don’t listen to them we are doomed.

And of course women and children hurt the most.

The only reason my mom let me in the house today, when I brought her some gloves and masks, was that there was a dead mouse in the trap that needed removed.

Otherwise, I’d have been way out on the porch yelling back and forth with her in the cold wind, like I’ve been doing.

I hate that they’re terrorizing people.
