Where was this post during covid?

During the first year of the pandemic, the heads of the US Federal government did very little in response. In fact, under Trump, it seemed to be doing things to hobble, and deny, pandemic responses by the individual states.
It was the people of the USA who were getting sick and dying. They should have been better served by their Federal government, which instead was more concerned with their personal status and golf than with their constituents.
Those that protested against the lockdowns/masking/sanitization/immunizations were in the
minority among the people, and they all, suspiciously, had a very specific political alignment (carrying around Trump signs), due to the politicisation of what was actually a health issue.
As shown by several countries (particularly New Zealand), swift action against the spread of the disease was effective in saving lives (in NZ,
three separate outbreaks of COVID-19 among the general populace were
totally eliminated - i.e. no-one in the general populace had COVID-19 afterwards -
three times! ... and this was before the immunizations became available).
The responses in the USA were months after the first cases, and were further hampered by people who actively and wilfully spread the disease (by refusing to mask, sanitize and isolate, and by attending super-spreader events). They, and the political leaders whom they supported, are directly responsible for the deaths of 2.2 million citizens in the USA from a provably preventable disease.
Through his craft and by his hand, he will cause lies to prosper, and in his own mind he will make himself great. In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.[/b] - Daniel 8:23-25.
