But how can anyone say that Covid would not still be a problem?
If you look at Europe, the problems there are ten fold. France has reinstated its lock down, and according to a prominent DUer, Germany is a mess when it comes to vaccination.

New Zealand, and Australia are islands. It’s unfair to compare us to them.

Trump screwed up, no doubt about it, but even without him Covid would not be “won by now”.
