    i can list a bunch of bad COVID related decisions he made, sure. one of the worst imo is overseeing the CDC as it told Americans to get back to work earlier and reporting was no longer necessary, all during the pandemic still raging like it currently is.

      The pandemic is not raging “currently.” Many hospitals still announce infections, and there many days with zero.

      But, I agree COVID was mismanaged from day one. And we can blame it getting out of control on the citizens who refused to wear masks. The overwhelming majority of them are right wing.

        we are still in a pandemic so though, perhaps not “raging.” maybe that’s too alarmist. i’ll pull back on that, but… it is still at levels indicative of a pandemic last i was aware.

          it’s an endemic disease, meaning it persists at manageable levels, similar to influenza.

            thanks for the info, you’re right. well, that’s a bit of a relief for me then. still not great lol… just means the disease isn’t an international disaster impacting several communities. i hope our vaccines against it continue to be successful.
