Dr. Trump killed one of our constituents

[SunSeeker]

10. Trump killed over 70,000 of his constituents.

None of this had to happen. Trump is the one who downplayed the virus for 2 months, failed to invoke the DPA to mass produce tests and let Covid-19 spread to all 50 states.  By March, our only option to flatten the monstrous infection curve the CDC was projecting for us was economy-destroying shutdowns, as advocated by the White House and Dr. Fauci's "Flatten the Curve" program. Otherwise, our hospitals would have been overwhelmed and even more people would have died.  Some countries handled it much better.  South Korea got their first confirmed Covid-19 case on the same day as us, Jan. 20.  But their leader took it seriously even before then, and immediately started mass producing tests as soon as the WHO made the testing formula available to the world on Jan. 17. South Korea immediately did mass testing to find hotspots and do targeted quarantines and contact tracing.  Because of their mass testing program, they never had to shut down whole sectors of their economy, like restaurants or factories.   https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/26/821688981/how-south-korea-reigned-in-the-outbreak-without-shutting-everything-down Not only did their testing program save their economy, it saved lives. They've lost only 250 people,  we've lost over 74,000, and we're still losing thousands every few days. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/coronavirus/ Granted we have 6.5 times the population of South Korea, but if we had done what they did, we'd have lost only about 6.5×250 =1,625 people, and our economy would not be in tatters.
