Every Dem should be screaming about this the way Hannity and Rush and all of them were 24/7! Dems should hold 100 hearings on this just like the GOP did with Benghazi. Unfortunately it doesn't have the ring to it that Benghazi had. There has to be some soldiers and generals who are infuriated by this that should be used in ads.
Trump is using racist jokes to tie Covid19 to China. We should start calling it the Trump Flu
We need to play the game right back at the asshole!
Biden's vice presidential search narrows The 2020 Fix
How many needless Covid-19 deaths were caused by delays in responding? Most of them
By ISAAC SEBENIUS and JAMES K. SEBENIUS JUNE 2020
Snip:
Due to exponential viral spread, our delay in action was devastating. In the wake of the U.S. response, 117,858 Americans died in the four months following the first 15 confirmed cases. After an equivalent period, Germany suffered only 8,863 casualties. Scaling up the German population of 83.7 million to America’s 331 million, a U.S.-sized Germany would have suffered 35,049 Covid-19 deaths. So if the U.S. had acted as effectively as Germany, 70% of U.S. coronavirus deaths might have been prevented.
Seventy percent, though, is the most conservative estimate. Scaled-up versions of South Korea, Australia, and Singapore would have experienced 1,758, 1,324, and 1,358 deaths, respectively, in the four months after 15 cases were confirmed in each country. Had we handled the coronavirus as effectively as any of these three countries, roughly 99% of the 117,858 U.S. Covid-19 deaths might have been averted.

Christian Science Monitor: No, the Irish were not slaves in the Americas
Looks like this myth is no making the rounds again to make white conservatives feel better about their racism:
Snip:
The myth draws on a false equivalency between two distinct systems of forced labor in the British colonial period: indentured servitude and chattel slavery. Indentured servants in the British colonies were legal persons bound to service by a time-limited, non-hereditary labor contract, often signed in exchange for passage to the New World. Slaves, by contrast, were considered property, a subhuman legal status that was passed from mother to child, in perpetuity.
