    As above. This was a global crisis. The issues were not caused by the Republican party, nor by the Democrats, nor by anyone even in America! I know… Imagine a thing happening that isn’t directly to do with America!

    Welll there were some people trying to prevent lockdowns from being enacted, some people suggesting Ivermectin and bleach as cures or prevention for COVID, etc…

    Different countries had very different outcomes and while the US wasn’t the worst, it could’ve been a lot better if a certain party hadn’t hampered any effort at improving the situation.

      Sure. But there are also some scientists who think the lockdown didn’t work, or only work really fast and hard. Or only work in dense populations but are useless in sparse ones. The Democrats don’t have a monopoly on truth, they’re not omniscient. They just had a different idea of how they wanted to respond based (like every other politician) on what they thought would sell well to their electorate.

      Who knows what they word have actually done in power. I hate to break it to you, but politicians lie - it’s kind of their job.
