From my perspective, the trauma was caused by COVID and Trump’s campaign to maximize the death count.  Biden if anything is doing what he can to end this trauma as soon as possible.  Trump’s instigating death was a misguided attempt to help the economy and thus get reelected.  Thus, he killed for political gain.  So, yes, he politicized the virus.

At this point, the red have fallen for this polarization.  They are going around believing that the virus is a hoax or that they don’t have to take it seriously, which is a good thing.  A red death wish is fine.  There will be only so many doses of the vaccine to go around at first.  Let them die in their vain attempt to save Trump.  That assumes they won’t come to their senses before the vaccine is readily available.  At the rate the virus is increasing, as the hospitals are getting near or past overload, the seriousness of the bug might possibly get through even to the reds.

I don’t know.  They are pretending there is no threat awfully hard.  How many deaths are required before even a red notices them?
