He sent the Mercy and Comfort to NY and Cali and they weren’t used, he set up huge field hospitals and they weren’t used. He provided respirators and they weren’t used. Instead 5 dem governors put infected people in with uninfected elderly patients of nursing homes purposely!!! Nursing home deaths were the majority of the covid deaths...this wasn’t an accident it was culling out the old and infirm. Premeditated murder and these 5 governors need to be held accountable for these unnecessary deaths!
