The Trump administration’s failure to act, mockery of experts and politicization of the pandemic may have cost hundreds of thousands of American lives, researchers at Columbia University claim.

that between 130,000 and 210,000 Covid-19 deaths in the U.S. could have been avoided were it not for the government’s “abject failures” in managing the crisis — blaming an administration that was slow to act, ignored experts, and failed to adapt and improve over the course of the pandemic, as well as “woefully inadequate” contact tracing and testing and the lack of any national mask mandate or guidance.AFP via Getty ImagesThe report compared the U.S.

While a crude metric, the researchers say the discrepancy in deaths — which continues to grow daily — is useful in assessing the government’s response to the crisis.

Fake newsssss as always !

At least, maybe. Can point out which Blue State Nursing home deaths could have been avoided? Which co morbidities could have been removed by executive order? Billions went for science and supplies should less have been spent? NeverTrump is a sad group.

Report: did you include the deaths in nursing homes in New York?

Yep, avoidable if many had better personal lifestyle choices. Americans overall have a crappy diet. Those affected by this virus that I personally know (developed symptoms) have a higher sugar/processed food intake. We will always have viruses so best get healthy as possible.

STFU🙄.. tell that to the other countries! HOW what it have been avoidable, Magic🤷🏽‍♂️🙄 propaganda bullshit

Bookmarked and screenshot

A random arbitrary hyperbolic round number🤓🕵🏻‍♂️

if cuomo would have acted early and we did better with seniors could have been better. tough game.

So how did we come up with this number? If compared with another country with similar commercial activity and population density, we are actually doing much much better, see thr UK and Europe as a whole. You can’t compare with Japan, Australia or NZ. Not a fair comparison.

The article states one of the reasons the US has more deaths is the lack of a mask mandate. Citizens were masking long before any companies/localities were mandating masks.

Sorry. The GOPdoesNotCare that TrumpFailedAmerica Just don’t interfere with their money and power. Lives lost are simply collateral damage in the GOP’s view.

Bots are loving some Forbes this morning!

Then why can’t they stop them now? What about European countries? Australia? GTFOH

This is so true . Americans could have dug into their own spider holes and waited two years for Covid to dissipate.

If it wasn't for our scientists, banning the first flight from China, having ppl wear masks in the background, and then have them take it off when the cameras are not around, it could've been worse.

Name 1 expert he didn’t listen to and one piece of advice he ignored? These people should lose their licenses for writing propaganda- the medical community is losing all respect.

This is BS. There weren’t even that many covid deaths if the numbers were reported accurately

Excess death rates in US compare very well to many other peer group advanced nations of this world. It is time to name and shame those who are peddling economic suicide while their jobs are secure, while also clamoring for socialism. Name them and shame them.

All the cases were avoidable if Biden and Obama did not ask China to kill USA for his elections.

Framing

Nancy was telling people to go to China Town in SF and Joe said closing boarders was wrong. They all were mislead, even the medical experts, so putting the blame on a person is negligent.

This is what desperation looks like.

While the response here has been terrible it hasn't been much different or better in nearly all European countries who are now also seeing a surge.

My 9yr old Trans son came screaming out of his room today crying “Trump had Covid but he’s still not wearing a mask. Does he want more people to die? Does he want me to die?' I was speechless. He ran back to his room… I’M SHAKING
