Quite a way to make America great again
So you use a July quote, nice. It's a worldwide pandemic and it is resurging just about everywhere,

Oct. 11 (UPI) -- "Nations are reporting record daily coronavirus cases, mainly in Europe after largely controlling the pandemic, with the world adding around 1 million new infections every three days.

On Saturday, a total of 355,909 new cases were reported worldwide, slightly less than the record 358,354 the day before and the fourth day in a row with more than 300,000. One-third of those new cases were in Europe.

On Sunday, Europe added 88,488 cases with 242,197 globally so far Sunday."

And when you take the economic and health factors (including long term) caused by the lockdowns, the U.S. does not compare badly as the purely covid count stats suggest. We'll get over this and be better off in the long run than most others--if we keep the Trump economic policies in place and don't revert to the Progressive tax and regulation policies and don't go back to self-destructive trade policies.
