We had limited supplies and were blindsided thanks to Trump. Dr. Bright was fired for sounding the warning, and now Trump has hired someone for his pandemic team who advocates herd immunity, which would require that 2 million more people of the USA would die. And he is listening to him, according to the Washington Post. Listen to Dr. Bright.
Two million? That puts him more or less on the same level of the great genocide people of the last crisis. Does he want to challenge Hitler's more targeted six million Jews?
Wiki has a list of genocides. It looks like Trump has just passed the Roman conquest of Carthage in 146 BC. He has quite a ways to go before he exceeds the Holocaust.
If there is any evidence of dissimilar hostility toward groups through policy, then Trump is a perpetrator of class-based or ethnicity-based mass murder.
