Politics is driving this whole thing, period.   Just our rotten luck a pandemic broke out in a presidential election year.

They don't want people voting in person. Why not?

Look at those 140,000 people who died just to make the President look bad

For the sake of discussion let's say that fatality numbers are 20% too high when we factor in both deaths that aren't actually directly attributable to COVID or associated complications as well as deaths that were missed and aren't being counted... it changes nothing in the big picture since deaths are still over 110K and climbing rapidly. I also don't think the numbers are anywhere near 20% too high and again, it's about more than just deaths.

yeah I think the Orange Man is a bad President and has done a bad job.  I don't have a particularly high opinion of his most vocal supporters either.  Call your therapist.

Explain why we're the global leaders in cases and deaths then. The rest of the world took aggressive mitigation measures. When we did, we saw our numbers begin to decline and then we threw caution to the wind again and here we are. It's morons like you why we're in our current situation. Thanks.

A large percent of deaths nationwide were/are in elderly care facilities.  Many of those folks had underlying issues and for those that did/will recover will struggle with the damage from COVID-19 in some fashion, no doubt.  Where this thing got out of control is when it could listed coronavirus as a "factor" in a person's death.  Primary reason, sure...I totally understand it.  A potential factor?  Nah, that can be twisted any imaginable way no matter how far stretched and it has.  Numerous errors in case reporting has happened too leading to the padding of numbers.

I bet that HIV-denialist antivax lobbying group he posted a few pages back has a good explanation for it.

Hypothetically, if antibodies last only 6 weeks or so, it makes vaccinations pretty useless too.

 

What then?

Well, it depends on who's President at that time
