Most intelligent post in this thread, congrats!
In fact Trump saying in spring 2020 that covid was just another flu and would die away when summer arrives, lost many senior votes. Seniors were petrified of highly contagious original version of covid which was killing seniors in nursing homes by the thousands.
Biden played it smart by hiding in basement with a burqa. Seniors construed that as Biden was taking covid more seriously and would protect them better.
In 2020 there was not enough data to know who was right about covid. It was brand new virus with no history to rely on. If Trump would fire the doctors from NHS Bureaucracy, I can’t even imagine the degree of attacks from media.
Fine. Then how about he just says “I was wrong”. Just freaking once.
