It qualifies to me as criminal neglect to say the least. Homicidal genocide would sound too extreme, so I only mention it to use the words in this context

Standing by, watching it and saying "it is what it is" as if it could be anything other than what it is and as if everybody isn't aware of that is an egregious dereliction of the duties of a President and a serious compromise of the oath of office.

When you stand there an do nothing while thousands of people are dying needlessly while you have the power and resources at your fingertips to command vast resources to protect and aid the people that makes you responsible for the outcome in a way that transcends any other servant of the people. He does not serve the people and yet holding office serves him well. Anybody else in any other job would be long gone by now and facing some serious reprisals and charges.

In this case, being the President shields him from any recrimination and he knows that. He can get away with whatever he can get away with and he's milking that for everything its worth. America suffers for this hideous mistake and, what's most amazing, is that some people still staunchly support this stochastic, homicidal terrorist at large.

Meanwhile, bring out your dead.

Seems like an accurate name for this madness!

How many more will DIE because of this FAKE not my president, the master of homicidal genocide?

Only the 1918 virus killed more people, but that was over 3 years.

The worst flu season in USA history killed 60,000 people. Typical flu seasons can kill as few as 12,000 people over a season.

Though probably wouldn’t have made a difference. Quoth Simon and Garfunkel “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest”.
