What happens now that Covid isn't suddenly going away ?

A lot of Trump supporters and idiots in general were saying Covid was being exaggerated to hurt Trump. Specifically that lockdowns and other restrictions on business was to hurt the economy so that it hurts Trump in the election.

And that things will go back to normal afterwards.

Will more people pay attention ? Will the media and others demand Trump tell us where the vaccine he said we would get this year was ?

Even though the election is over I think it's important for the media to hold him to account on these things.

And for people to face the truth about Covid 19.

As Trump and the GOP make every effort to start Joe off in the worst possible position, watch for the situation to be made egregiously worse between now and January.

They know the worse it is in January, the harder it’ll be to clean up, and the harder it’ll be for Joe to turn the shitshow around before 2022 where they’re hoping to make major gains in the house, senate, and local races.

So. Expect more people to die. A lot more.

And with a GOP Senate blocking everything, expect that to continue on into Joe’s term.

details are worked out. Herd immunity is not going to work. I don't think most people realize how many would have to get sick and die while they wait for it to take effect.

Covid will start going away when Biden finally slams the country into action at actually stopping it's spread by the Federal Government and putting science back in the government to make determinations instead of internet conspiracy site garbage.

If Trump won, it would go away but with Biden as president Democrats will continue to milk it and totally exaggerate it.

were all terrible during the Obama administration. Then from Trump's inauguration the economy was fantastic. Covid will not have been a problem during the Trump administration and a huge terrible plague of Biden's responsibility.
