How many COVID deaths were avoidable under the previous president?

As of the end of January 2021, about 439,000 people died of COVID-19 in the United States (more or less the time period when Donald Trump was president).

Obviously, some of those deaths were unavoidable.  After all, it is a deadly and highly contagious disease.

But if you had to put a number on it, how many of those 439k deaths were avoidable?  In other words, how many of that number DID NOT HAVE to die, or died UNNECESSARILY because of Donald Trump's failed policies and neglect?

    If the threat has been taken seriously when the administration was made aware of it there would probably have been approximately 350,000 or more people still alive.

    Great Question CNN/MSNBC Foolish Troll

    There is a thing called State's rights. The states were given what they requested and failed to follow through.

    I think you should start by asking the Governors that were responsible their States citizens.

    Ask Killer Cuomo who sent elderly people to their deaths in masses.

    Ask California's Moron Governor who had one the highest death rates despite killing CA's economy.

    Governors made it quite clear early on they would make decisions as they individually saw fit.   What happened in their states for good or bad is in them.

    A lot.  If your democratic overlords hadn't crammed old people into nursing homes, a lot would have been saved.
