The U.S. spends 760 billion military dollars a year to make sure we could fight an enemy, but this year an enemy came and we didn’t fight it at all.

Just as wars are fought by coordinating a huge array of military and organizational skills, a war against Covid could have been fought by coordinating a huge array of scientific, medical, governmental and organizational skills.

That coordination did not occur. As a result, medical personnel and first responders were left to make heroic efforts far more burdensome than they should have had to - sometimes even at the sacrifice of their own lives - because of a lack of that federal response.

Both parties are warmongers. Joe Biden is a war monger too. The bad thing biden will cater to the wealthy just like trump. We the people lose this election no matter what

There actually is. Fighting a war takes a coordinated response that brings together an array of military skill sets. That’s exactly what we should’ve done to fight Covid: bring together scientific, medical and organizational skills in a coordinated response at the highest levels.
