COVID 19 Pandemic Deaths to date: 218,000
By Christmas this year, 2020, there are likely to be as many US COVID 19 deaths as US soldiers lost in WWII. The number of COVID 19 deaths today are as high as the total number of soldiers that died in the US Civil War. US COVID 19 deaths will be nearly four times the number of US soldiers lost in WWI or Vietnam.
At least 100,000 COVID 19 deaths could have been prevented by swifter and more effective action by the President and his cabinet officials. That is why Donald Trump is likely to be removed from office.
Is his removal sufficient to address the damage committed by his administration to the nation, national and economic security? Should he be tried for reckless endangerment and treason by undermining his oath of office and pursuit of a litany of illegal actions as determined by the courts?
