I had Covid in November, although it was mild for me, it was still harrowing and extremely stressful. You just lay there at night and wonder if it's going to get worse and you might end up in the hospital or worse. There was 1 night I almost went to the hospital, but decided to get some sleep first and when I woke up I had turned the corner and got better and better from there.

The incompetence of the administration is maddening. But just as bad is how he used this crisis to pit Americans against each other. Over a pandemic, he had the country at each other's throats. During an event that should have been as unifying as any event could be, he divided the country based on science believers and deniers. This was batting practice for any other President, follow the science, pull the country together, and show any type of leadership.

We lost an aunt because our cousins had Covid and invited her to Thanksgiving Dinner because they believed that although they tested positive a couple days prior, since they no longer had symptoms they weren't contagious. She caught it there, got sick a few days later, was in the hospital 10 days after that and never came out, she passed just after Christmas. I blame that on Trump, the misinformation he spewed was believed by millions of people, because he's the President, some people believe the President.

Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed, and handy, and thoroughly horrific,, timeline. I niyad Mar 2021 #1
