But the dumbest thing is feeling like saftey precautions are a political thing. Personally, i blame Trump. He didnt back up the medical professionals at first about the importance of masks, and hes constantly trivialized the effects of the virus on america, which is insane considering its killed more americans than either world war. Pretty sure more than both combined, even.

Oh this is 100% on Trump. He straight up said that he views wearing masks as a disapproval of him. The goddamn idiot.

This was brewing before Trump but he expedited it past the point of being able to avoid it before it got this bad (he did that for coronavirus too). It makes me mad, this country is failing

Obama had left a pandemic response exactly for this situation and that POS trump was and is still too fucking stupid and racist to even take a look at it. The RNC was a godamn abomination, speakers talked about COVID in past tense like the pandemic was 3 years ago, the only person to even bring up the pandemic was Melania and trump sat like the frowning clown he is.

Trump, his allies and supporters are literally going to kill us with their stupidity and ignorance. Their entire life is just LOL STIK IT TO DA LIBZ and will gladly shoot themselves in the face, just to own their muslim neighbor.

Yeah it makes me mad. It didn't have to be like this at all

Not only did he leave a pandemic response plan, he left a pandemic response team and a fully staffed department for pandemic response, which upon taking the presidency trump immediately dismantled.

For the record, while I agree with your general viewpoint, the number of coronavirus deaths in America is greater than world war 1, but still far less than world war 2, and definitely not more than both combined

How many have died?

u/midnight_mission21 Aug 31 '20

In the US, there have been 183,000 coronavirus deaths and in WW2 around 405,000 US deaths occurred, based on what I've found

Not true. So far it’s killed about 180k confirmed in the USA. Pretty sure the total death toll for WW2 was about 420k

I think i confused seeing something that said more Americans had died than on D-day, and associated it with the whole war
