hot off the press from trump. his administration's contravirus response
was reduced and/or compromised due to the impeachment hearing
(where the outcome was never in doubt). by inference this means
that the democrats are somewhat to totally responsible for the
virus deaths in the US. seems pretty obvious to me.

First of all, Orange leader didn't "shut down the border" as you falsely claim.
For starters, health experts say Trump was wrong to refer to the travel restrictions as a “travel ban,” as he did in a telephone interview on March 4 with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. During a town hall on March 5, Trump said he “closed down the borders to China and to other areas that are very badly affected.” That’s not accurate.
As Azar explained when he announced the travel restrictions on Jan. 31, the policy prohibits non-U.S. citizens, other than the immediate family of U.S. citizens and permanent residents, who have traveled to China within the last two weeks from entering the U.S.
At a House subcommittee hearing on the coronavirus on Feb. 5, Ron Klain, White House Ebola response coordinator under the Obama administration, took issue with the characterization of the travel restrictions as a travel “ban.”
“We don’t have a travel ban,” Klain said. “We have a travel Band-Aid right now. First, before it was imposed, 300,000 people came here from China in the previous month. So, the horse is out of the barn.”
“There’s no restriction on Americans going back and forth,” Klain said. “There are warnings. People should abide by those warnings. But today, 30 planes will land in Los Angeles that either originated in Beijing or came here on one-stops, 30 in San Francisco, 25 in New York City. Okay? So, unless we think that the color of the passport someone carries is a meaningful public health restriction, we have not placed a meaningful public health restriction.
Furthermore, Klain said, the import of goods from China is exempt from the travel restrictions, “and, of course, the people who fly the planes and drive the boats that bring those goods from China. We couldn’t ban that activity. We vitally need that. Ninety percent of the antibiotics in this country come from China. All kinds of vital medical supplies … we will use to treat people. So, travel bans … that’s not what we’re imposing, that’s not what exists.”

Secondly, South Korea didn't close it's borders yet went from having the most infections outside China to now one of the lowest with under 10k and only 165 deaths (US: 188k, 4k deaths). Why? Because they started testing right away and quarantining those who were positive.
If you knew how to read, you would've seen this addressed in the article.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats have “loudly criticized and protested” his imposition of the travel restrictions, and have called the decision “racist.” But while leading Democrats have been outspoken in their criticism of the president’s overall response to the epidemic, very few have criticized his decision to impose limited travel restrictions.
“I took a lot of heat,” Trump said during a Feb. 27 press conference. “I mean, some people called me racist because I made a decision so early. And we had never done that as a country before, let alone early. So it was a, you know, bold decision. It turned out to be a good decision. But I was criticized by the Democrats. They called me a racist because I made that decision, if you can believe that one.”
At a rally in South Carolina the following day, Trump said Democrats “loudly criticized and protested” his decision.
“But, anyway — but we’ve done an incredible job because we closed early,” Trump said in a meeting with African American leaders on Feb. 28. “And actually, the Democrats said I was a racist. Not from black-people standpoint, but from Asian-people standpoint, from Chinese-people standpoint. They said I was a racist because I closed our country to people coming in from certain areas. They called me a racist.”
We reached out to the Trump campaign and asked for names, but we did not get a response. We scoured news clips and could find only a couple instances of elected Democrats criticizing the president’s action to restrict travel.
Do you think the numbers will just magically end one day? Those people who have died will still be tested, if they never were before. The real number will come out. Don’t worry. Keep playing that “it’s really only half of 1% right now.” Lmfao. Ok.
Kind of like how we were telling you guys that this was serious and you chose to fall back on Trump’s “everything is under control.” You guys haven’t posted correct information yet.
You just contradicted yourself pal.
“Reality is way lower for sure. But lots are walking around not tested.” ???
Which means they have spread it to others if they don’t know. Which means only more people will die.
We know how badly you want to join the COV-idiots. Don’t do it though. Friendly warning.
Starting to realize why they hate me. I come in and fact check like this and it’s like “mob, why won’t you let us rant!!!! I just want to make up shit and talk out my ass and we got this know it all come in and tell us the real. Why!?!!!?!?” I’m not a know it all. I just have a lot of common sense. It is very easy for common sense to come across as a know it all here because well most people don’t have common sense here. LMFAOOoo
