You cannot shut down the economy/production and then turn around and give everybody free money and not believe that we will have inflation.
I think we learned slow the curve and shut down everything for 2 weeks was not realistic idea while handing out free cash so everybody would still go out and spend. Things flew off the shelves while most were sitting on thier idle hands.. that nobody was stocking back up.

If it doesn’t matter why did you even post it? I would think you could see the effects of Covid on this graph?

Here's the rest of the horrible job trump did in making this virus into a full blown disaster for the US.
Grab a copy of the book Rage by Bob Woodward. The book is based on a series of interviews that Woodward conducted with Trump. He delves into the Covid issue from start to nearly the finish. It is clearly obvious that Trump deceived the American people right from the start and as time wore on, he simply did not want to deal with it period. I guess that when all else fails, go drink some bleach !
Pick up a copy of the book. (it should be available in paperback by now) As for Biden, what hasn't he done in dealing with Covid ?
There are many stories of people dying from Covid because they thought it was a hoax and waited too long to seek treatment. It mattered big time. Seriously. Who would call a deadly virus a hoax by the democrats?
