I know a lot of us don’t read the news, so here’s a meme. The Republican Speaker of the House has begun an impeachment inquiry on U.S. President Biden.

Context: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/09/12/why-biden-impeachment-inquiry/

    Nope and I don’t care. I have no reason to go around any potus, no matter who they are. Besides, the Covid testing thing is really no different in any other country that wants to protect their leaders.

    The thing is Biden was working on fixing it, it’s just there was so much damage by the time he got in office, there was no quick fix. Remember governance doesn’t fix everything immediately or overnight upon changing of the guard.

    Everyone expected an overnight miracle which is impossible to achieve. They aren’t god or Jesus as depicted in the book of fairy tales called the Bible.

      Biden actively took away what little there was in terms of protections. He absolutely could have continued the public health emergency, now we have less testing (since tests are no longer covered by insurance), less reliable reporting, and more pressure to live and work in cramped, poorly ventilated places. But maybe it’s not importa-- oh hey what is this?

        Newer covid strains are significantly less deadly than the initial ones.

        The COVID-19 IFR [infection-fatality ratio] declined from 0.67% in 2020 to 0.10% in 2022, and the IHR [infection-hospitalization ratio] fell from 2.60% to 0.76% over the same period.

            Why is a graph of “Population - With a Disability, 16 Years and over” relevant?
