We all knew that the death toll for the year, would be around 240,000.

So we had an idea that it would be above the NORMAL FLU season.


TRUMP has used what was in place and even tried a few new things to cut
the loss.....  we even locked-down for a time to cut the deaths that
would be contributed by overwhelming the Hospitals.


Some may have worked and some may not. But we can see the incompetence
when we look at 50 states all doing it differently and looking at who
kept their death rates low.  We can look and see what they did right and
what the others did wrong.
