… docs & nurses died (my allergist, when I came in: “Three of my fellow doctors have died of Covid” ) and some docs & nurses committed suicide.

All of the Bad Things have already happened before, under Trump’s first term.

Emergency supplies grossly insufficient in America; supplies sold to China.

Medical supplies air-shipped inside the US literally stolen off the tarmac by some form of government agents — so much so that suppliers and recipients resorted to subterfuge in labeling, packaging, and shipping manifests. Kind of like some WWII spy drama.

We got to thinking that ventilators were absolutely necessary and none were to be had. Finally woo-hoo! Some showed up, to be shared out among the states. California’s share: two (2)

How many died? Well that certainly will never be known in Florida, seeing as how DeSantis fired the State statistician.

And propaganda and lies galore. Dr. Fauci, who deserves our gratitude and respect forever, has been under nonstop death threats ever since.

The Stupid won. And since Trump is in the WH again, The Stupid is definitely back
