Other countries it’s typically about 4%.

Having a leader named Donald Trump increases deaths 15%.

Is it Trump’s fault? Ask Herman Cain who went to Trumps Tulsa rally, a rally experts begged Trump not to hold, where those around Cain didn’t wear a mask. 12 days later Cain was hospitalized. Then he died.
