How can I say this? Easy. Do the math. An August 24th newspaper article tells you why! On that day, South Korea, population 50 million “as recorded a total of l7,399 infections and 309 fatalities. As of ll AM, August 25th, America, population of 330 million, had recorded 5.7 million Covid-19 cases, and 177,198 deaths. Do the math. If Trump’s government was as competent as South Korea, America would’ve had 113,094 total cases and 2,009 deaths [multiply the South Korean totals by 6.5.
Remember, both South Korea and the United States reported the first Covid-19 cases on the same day – January 26th. Both countries started from the same date. After that, everything changed. South Korea acted in a rational, science-based manner, America did not. The South Korean government had the best interests of its people in mind. For Trump, get re-elected was number one – so, as we all know from his stupid tweets, he lied and distorted, claimed everything was under control, and it would ‘soon go away.”
As of ll AM, September 5th, the American death toll was l86.83l. Had America been run by the South Korean government, over 180,000 Americans would still be alive. And – chances are, all the millions of Americans unemployed might also still be employed. All the businesses in danger might also be operating close to normal. It might not have been necessary to pass the $3 trillion aid package. Schools and colleges might be operating like in other countries. We might even have had a somewhat “normal” football season; might not have been forced to cancel many other fall sports.
And then, there’s the human toll. We might not be reading about stressed out health care workers, stressed out first responders. We might not also have lost many health care workers, first responders, essential workers. We might not have had doctors and first responders committing suicide. We might not have had to suffer people being evicted because of lost jobs.
Yes, elections do have consequences. When a nation “elects” an ignorant, incompetent 8th grade fool as its “leader,” bad things are pretty much guaranteed. But, don’t worry. Donald Trump will not lose any sleep over 180,000 unnecessary deaths. He doesn’t know, or care, about any of those “losers.”
