If you would sacrifice millions of lives over an election, you deserve what you get.

I hate Trump as much as anyone, but even I have to admit a world without COVID would be a better one no matter who was President of the United States.

It's one thing to willingly sacrifice millions that hasn't happened yet, but if it already has happened?.. To just let it be?

I'm torn. I'm lucky to say that covid hasn't taken away family members (but it did take a neighbor away).. But this situation is not much different then a scenario of going back in time to prevent a war where millions died vs not changing anything and dramatically altering history. There's no clear right answer here, especially since it been only 2 years.

That's why I said we were bound to have an outbreak eventually. Not to mention Trump dismantled Obama's medical team that were ready for pandemics, and he didn't take covid seriously, even after he got it to save face. It want until vaccines were being made. The fact that this happened and we learned from it and got vaccines fast can help us fight in the future and be taken more seriously. So it was not in vain.

Hopefully we can dramatically reduce chances of an outbreak next time. The U.S. can if it takes it seriously (like we can't have a president who doesn't take it seriously). But then it comes to other countries as well. Govt of China tried to be hush about it and was trying to silence the scientists and medical groups who talked about it when it broke out. They should be disciplined for it.
