And how they had people in clean suits spraying down entire streets with disinfectant.

It's a good thing the West picked up on the queen that it might be a good idea to prepare for a virus. Imagine if they decided instead to do nothing, but then blame China for the virus and claim that they created it in a lab and hid the virus from the world.

Just imagine if the West did nothing and instead decided to let it rip through their countries.

    Given the media and lib response from January to March, I am 100% convinced that our COVID deaths would be about the same if Hillary was President, maybe a few less because of mask encouragement but not comparable to any other ostensibly rich country.

    Possibly even worse, because the Republicans would probably have the House along with the Senate. They would have steadfastly refused any kind of stimulus aside from writing checks directly to the Kochs.

        Remember when Pelosi's first inclination with a stimulus was tax credits and everyone was correctly worried someone in the GOP might be smart enough to flank her on the left?

      De Blasio was insisting that NYC schools stay open even as cases were surging and Cuomo was ordering everything to close. Dem leadership did fuckall with news that Covid was bad in February, despite controlling one part of Congress. They absolutely dropped the ball as well.
