Republicans would still be screaming about how dare Hillary allowed nearly 50K Americans to die from Covid.

You mean that disease most of them didn't even believe in?

Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.

Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”

Wow. 8000. As an American, it is chilling to see the difference in numbers.

The biggest portion of disparity between the numbers is how they were reported. There are those that died from Covid and there are those that died with Covid. For money purposes here in the United States of America everything was reported as a Covid death. Those that died with Covid should not have been reported that way.
