One year ago today, a 35-year-old man presented to an urgent care clinic in Snohomish County, Washington, with a 4-day history of cough and subjective fever.

400,000 deaths later ...

Wow.

I really hope the Biden administration is able to make a positive impact, but they sure do have an uphill battle ahead.

The bar for him has been set absurdly low. All he needs to do is implement a national vaccination system using easily available resources (existing clinics, stadiums, etc) and personnel so that vaccination rates equal new vaccination production rates. Accomplish that and anyone with a non-conspiracy-addled brain (that excludes a goodly slice of the GOP base, alas) will quickly notice.

There is one thing I will never forgive Trump for, and that's his handling of the pandemic.

All he had to do was make it a point to wear a mask and to ask everyone else to do the same. A simple and basically free solution. But he couldn't muster the will to do it. Speaks volumes about him.
.
I wonder how many lives he would have saved.

Well, except I have a whole long list of things I'll never forgive him for. But this is definitely at the top of the list!

Wow.
