Re: COVID: it sounds like it was only his immediate access to high-level treatment (along with, ahem, being vaccinated) that saved him, or at least gave him the relatively quick recovery that let him pretend it was no big deal. So many people died (or lost loved ones, or have suffered long-term impacts on their health and cognition) because they didn't have that access, especially in COVID-denying communities that Trump's "leadership" and red-state legislators and governors encouraged. I lived in Washington state at the time, and Washington's hospitals were overwhelmed with Idaho's sick anti-vaxxers/anti-maskers and their victims. Yet another unnecessary crisis that we could have avoided if we had stood together for public health. And, you know, science, and caring about our neighbors, and the truth.
