How could Trump assure himself of a win in November? Tell everyone starting today to wear a mask when outside their house; avoid crowds, and social distance. If he did those forty days before the election, Covid 19 might be almost gone.

Without such an order, we will have reached close to 250,000 dead by the election and over 300,000 by Christmas. What a Christmas present for America!

If the administration had demanded masks during and after the quarantine it might have saved 200,000 lives. If Trump hadn’t made the virus political by saying it is a hoax for months, people would have taken care not to spread it. (Some people are still saying it is a hoax.) Trump said it is “no worse than the flu”, “it will be over by summer”, the vaccine is being rushed by cutting regulations and testing, and, of course, degrading the importance of our medical and scientific agencies and experts.

Mismanagement on an unbelievable scale and the political interference and lies has reduced the potential number of people wanting the vaccine to just over half the American public. That means Americans won’t be out of the epidemic for at least a year. Some experts estimate we will lose over 1,000,000 before it drops to a low but constant level.

How can someone live with themselves continuing to screw up that badly and maybe letting a million Americans die? How can a person continue to go against common sense and science from the World’s leading experts? Only someone who puts himself over saving lives.
