Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

The best part is when you can immediately know where that person politically stands without having to bring up their relative profile. If they compare the flu to covid-19 they're, roughly, 98% of the time, going to be Trump supporters or Conservatives in general.



From contradicting his own public health officials on the coronavirus to dismissing the World Health Organization's global fatality rate of COVID-19 as "false", US President Donald Trump has been accused of attempting to downplay the seriousness of the disease since the virus reached the US earlier this year.

The accusations continued on Monday when Trump tweeted: "So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on. At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!"

The president's comparison of the two viral illnesses underscores a larger misunderstanding of the implications of the new coronavirus, which has spread to at least 34 states, and how it compares with better understood seasonal outbreaks, according to public health experts.

The virus that causes the flu infected between 34 million and 49 million Americans from October 1, 2019, to February 29, 2020, according to CDC data. However, the currently available vaccine, combined with treatment for those who do contract the disease, helps to contain the spread and fatality rate, Wen said.

There is no vaccine or established treatment protocol for the coronavirus.

According to the most recent data worldwide, "the [COVID-19] death rate appears to be far greater than the flu", Wen said.

"It appears that out of 1,000 people who have this coronavirus, somewhere between 10 to 30 people will die, compared to one person [out of 1,000] who has the flu," she said.
