COVID seven-day fatality rate higher under Biden than Trump

Published



President Biden is discovering that candidate Biden was tragically wrong in saying government policy can control a pandemic.

While campaigning for president, Biden repeatedly said former President Donald Trump did not have a plan for the coronavirus response while Biden did. Well, if Biden did have a plan, it is not working, at least not anymore. On Sept. 20 last year, the seven-day fatality average was 773.
