"With Trump the better question is "what are the things he did that went wrong?

"Sure you can produce a list but everything on it will be opinion."

One can argue most of Trump administration actions, one way or the other. Until the novel coronavirus.

His minimizing the risk, denying and delaying rational public health measures clearly caused the 2020 economic contraction and hundreds of thousands of deaths. The Donald has rationalized, explained that failure as an attempt to avoid panic.

Is this better? United States Coronavirus Cases: 60,464,426; Deaths: 858,346

The estimated death toll in America is 970,243 reported COVID-19 deaths based on Current projection scenario by April 1, 2022. That estimate is based on the number of infections peaking in late January or into February 2022. If, as many experts believe, the Covid-19 pandemic continues in America, there will be reduced rate of fatalities after April, but many more Americans will die.

There is a reason why America, with state of the art healthcare resources, has a disproportionate number of infections compared to other advanced economies- Trump's delay allowed the novel coronavirus enough time to establish itself. America has had the highest number of infections from that day forward.

Even The Donald, a sitting president, was infected and hospitalized with Covid-19. Ironic, isn't it?

 

Excess Deaths in the United States During the First Year of COVID-19

Christopher J. Ruhm

Accurately determining the number of excess deaths caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is hard. The most important challenge is accurately estimating the counterfactual count of baseline deaths that would have occurred in its absence. This analysis used new methods to: estimate this baseline metric; calculate excess deaths during the first year of the U.S. COVID-19 pandemic; and examine plausibility of the excess death estimates obtained in this and prior analyses. Total, group-specific and cause-specific excess deaths in the U.S. from March 2020 through February 2021 were calculated using publicly available data covering all deaths from March 2009 through December 2019 and provisional data from January 2020 through February 2021. The estimates indicate that there were 646,514 (95% CI: 597,514 to 695,520) excess deaths in the U.S. during this period, with 83.4% (95% CI: 77.5% - 90.2%) of these attributed directly to COVID-19. There were substantial differences across population groups and causes in the ratio of actual-to-baseline deaths, and in the contribution of COVID-19 to excess mortality. Prior research has frequently underestimated baseline deaths and so has overstated excess mortality and the percentage of it attributed to non-COVID-19 causes.
