@EllenBarkin is a funny lady.
My brother showed me that leftists are not rational and are not swayed by facts or reality, but I'll explain what @realDonaldTrump did.

Initially the World Health Organization (WHO) and the CDC told us that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus didn't pose a serious health risk to the US.
The WHO declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Trump had imposed travel restrictions on China almost six weeks earlier.
The WHO declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020.
Trump had imposed travel restrictions on China almost six weeks earlier.
Travel from China was the infection source for 79 percent of all COVID-19 cases.
The WHO, the CDC, and the Democrats opposed travel restrictions on China.
By January 20, 2020, Trump had quietly asked manufacturers such as 3M to double the production of personal protection equipment (PPE).
"Minnesota-based company 3M has doubled its production of coronavirus-protecting N95 respirator masks over the last two months – to a rate of more than 1.1 billion a year, or almost 100 million a month, according to a report."
The article is dated March 20.
That means the doubling of production began in January, when Dr. Fauci was still telling us that the US was not in danger.
Why did Fauci do this?

BECAUSE WE WERE SCREWED.
Everything the press is telling you can be safely ignored.
Models don't matter, and death rates don't matter.
All that matters is containing the spread of the disease.

This is the only time in human history when so many people have required intensive care and mechanical respirators.
You're hearing about the "successful" containment of the disease through testing.
Which country has successfully contained the disease through testing?

Not South Korea.
They say recovered patients can be reinfected.
Nope. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/17/health/south-korea-coronavirus-retesting-positive-intl-hnk/index.html

The tests are crap.
They provide false negatives and false positives.
People proclaimed as recovered WEREN'T.
Faulty testing is worse than no tests.

Germany?

"Germany's center for disease control, the Robert Koch Institute, has criticized Germany's methods of testing, complaining for example that too many asymptomatic individuals were being tested."
"The RKI called for an end to this practice on the grounds that Germany could risk running out of tests. Therefore, asymptomatic people are currently not being recommended for testing."
They were WASTING THEIR TESTS, so they adopted...the American model.
Testing only symptomatic people.
And Germany doesn't even know how many ICU beds it has.

"The German Association of Hospitals says there are 40,000 beds, which is about 49 for every 100,000 of Germany's 82 million inhabitants. The Registrar for Intensive Care Beds says there are 24,000, which is only about 29 for every 100,000 people."
We have a higher mortality rate because we have FAR MORE OBESE, UNHEALTHY PEOPLE.
That's just reality.
But even so, our mortality rate is now lower than that of every other country in the world except for Germany.

The issue is mechanical ventilators.
Not one America died for lack of a mechanical ventilators.
IN PANDEMICS, PEOPLE DIE.
What Trump did was prevent the collapse of the American medical system.

The small number of COVID-19 patients who required intensive care and mechanical ventilators is just about as much as we could handle.
Intensive-care units (ICUs) have a massive burnout rate among the nurses.
That's why they use full-time equivalents (FTEs).

Why are so many American health-care workers from foreign countries?
Because we have a chronic shortage.
ObamaCare made it worse. I lost my doctor. He was forced to retire because he couldn't afford to meet the arbitrary standards of ObamaCare.

So many doctors retired that the patients caseload per doctor in my city doubled.
And we have tons of illegals packing the emergency rooms, getting their free health care.
As a psychiatric patient, I require care that I can no longer get in my state. So I'm moving.

I have serve osteoarthritis in my spine and right hip that can't be treated because of liability.
It's just not worth it for doctors to take the risk.
Today, I'm less than a third of the man I was five years ago.

And yet Trump was able to defeat the worst thing that ever happened to us.
He did it by using his remarkable brain and his vast knowledge of multiple fields.
There was no way on earth to meet the ventilator and PPE demands if we hadn't mitigated.

Testing a patient: Everyone throws away their PPE afterward.
Admitting a patient: Everyone throws away their PPE afterward.
Examining a patient: Everyone throws away their PPE afterward.

Each time you deal with a living of dead COVID-19 patient, everyone involved has to throw away their PPE afterward.
And there was simply no way to build more ventilators to handle an unmitigated pandemic of COVID-19.

Trump didn't kill anyone.
But you have to have a functioning brain to understand that.
When my leftist brother talks about Trump, his IQ drops to about 50. He becomes a toddler.

Again, Trump is a touchstone. If you HATE him, it means something is wrong with you.
And Trump-hate is a spectrum disorder.
If you hate Trump, it means LOTS OF THINGS are wrong with you.

I like to know when people are insane.
It's surprising how many of us ARE insane, but I always figured that was case.
My gut instinct was that lots of people are hiding their madness.
Trump is able to make them expose who they really are.

That way we can write them off.
