Every candidate in the middle of a campaign has mixed up a city. My minimum requirements are that he is as honest about the deadly nature of a disease with the public, as you are behind the scenes and "off the record," with a reporter. I give bad marks to the one whose acts cost hundreds of thousands of American lives that serious scientists report could have been avoided. If you are OK with unnecessary deaths of Americans, that is on you.
I have been wearing masks since February. President Pandemic only recently stopped ridiculing mask wearers, like Joe Biden. He led the "open up the economy at all costs," movement. New infections, mostly in "Red States," are setting daily records. And, yesterday, deaths were up to 1,000. Not since President Pandemic mistook leadership with debating governors, from Blue States, have we seen death rates like these. With more people forced inside by winter, scientists expect both of these numbers to jump.
As James Carville so eloquently said, "It's Covid 19, Stupid!"
