COVID seven-day fatality rate higher under Biden than Trump

Published September 22, 2021 1:53pm ET



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. As of Sept. 20, 2021, the seven-day average of COVID-19 deaths is 2,087. Biden’s seven-day average is nearly triple what Trump’s was a year ago and the highest level since February.
