Why Is America Not Holding the COVID Hitman Accountable?
Greg Abbot thinks he can get away with murder because Trump did — At least so far…
Normally when over a half-million people die from something entirely preventable somebody is held accountable. So far, that hasn’t happened in the United States.
In Taiwan, population 24 million, 10 people have died of Covid in the 14 months since the beginning of the pandemic. Ten.
In Vietnam, population 97 million, it’s 35; Thailand, population 70 million, has seen 85 people die, while Australia, at 25 million people, has lost 909 people to the disease.
South Korea, with a population of 51 million, has seen 1634 people die and Canada, with 38 million people has lost 22,000. (Stats here.)
Those countries populations total a bit over 305 million, about the same as the US, and in total they’ve lost 24,663 people to this disease. The United States has lost over 530,000.
That’s a hell of a difference.
In every one of those countries public health officials and senior government leadership (presidents, prime ministers) required or heavily promoted normal pandemic public health measures like wearing masks, avoiding crowded indoor venues and hand-washing.
