I was just thinking how many lives are saved by an attentive ER physician. If it is as many as one per shift it might be 300 lives saved per year and in 10 years maybe 3,000 saved lives.

If Trump's deliberate anti mask efforts cost 10 lives per day and the infection follows an exponential path, about 300,000+ lives are lost.

He isn't negligent , he is guilty of mayhem, manslaughter and murder with pre meditation since we have Bob Woodward tapes showing he knows precisely how deadly the pandemic is. If he thinks he is selling hope it is irrelevant. All his snake oil cures won't bring bring back the dead or prove his innocence of culpability.

I think his old campaign song of 'you can't always get what you want' should be changed to 'don't fear the reaper'.
