As we know, competent US Presidents are able to stop the spread of viruses. Exceptional US Presidents are able to stop viruses with wide open borders. Can you imagine what Biden will do to the poor Coronavirus having the use of several vaccines for 100% of his Presidential term?
Corona is going to get such a beating, it’ll never come back and leave with its relatives and Ebola, too.
Mark this thread and my words, the Biden Administration will be hailed “Heroes of the world” by the time the next flu season comes around.
Unless, of course, US Presidents can’t actually stop viruses from spreading. Trump was quick to shut down our borders with China and ordered a lock down, reducing the speed of the spread of the virus, thereby avoiding additional deaths because our hospitals did not, for the most part, become severely over-burdened, like they did in Italy and certain other countries. As it was, Biden accused Trump for being a “Xenophobe” for shutting down our borders with China. Anyone truly believe having Biden as President instead of Trump in 2020 would have resulted in a materially better outcome against Covid? As it was, the shutdown brought us to the brink, perhaps within two weeks, of systemic economic failure. We paid a high economic price to “Flatten the curve” that certainly reduced deaths from Coronavirus than would otherwise be the case. Although some have argued deaths from other causes related to the lockdown may have increased.
With now perfect knowledge of previous events and issues, any reader here care to put forth a policy that could be fairly be shown to outperform what Trump actually did? By outperform, I mean a policy that would conclusively reduce deaths from Corona while avoiding a worse impact on the US economy?
C’mon, go for it... enter the no p*ss* zone of political debating. If you dare.
