Which is TRUE.
That congressional Republicans initially blocked all the usual methods of containment, control and treatment is a matter of public record. Just for instance, back in 2002-3 during a pandemic then, Republican Senator Richard Burr headed the committee that literally wrote the book on congressional actions to take against national pandemic; in early 2020 Senate Republicans refused to implement its recommendations and Burr was discovered to have warned friends to move to pandemic-safe investments. Of course we all got to listen to many Republican officials tell people to in effect go spread the disease, at their head Der Leader.
Why? Well, no investigation yet and they're not saying on Fox. But to note, disease is a proven means of facilitating overthrow of governments by creating chaos and fear and the Republican Party had been working that direction for a couple decades. For another, an enormous transfer of wealth took place as a result -- to the classes the Republican Party serves. And, tRump's a viciously punitive narcissistic whackjob.
... Attention overdue, but we've had a hell of a lot on our plates while those culpable do everything they can to avoid the truth. Of course. They are something like 40% of all Americans, not just those they elect.
