   The US could have averted 40% of the deaths from Covid-19, had the country’s   
   death rates corresponded with the rates in other high-income G7 countries,   
   according to a Lancet commission tasked with assessing Donald Trump’s health   
   policy record.   
      
   Almost 470,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus so far, with the number   
   widely expected to go above half a million in the next few weeks [story was   
   published in February]. At the same time some 27 million people in the US have   
   been infected. Both figures are by far the highest in the world.   
      
   In seeking to respond to the pandemic, Trump has been widely condemned for not   
   taking the pandemic seriously enough soon enough, spreading conspiracy   
   theories,   
   not encouraging mask wearing and undermining scientists and others seeking to   
   combat the virus’s spread.

   We know that Trump's handling of the pandemic was an utter debacle.   
      
   What are the odds that Hartung again plaintively bleats "what could Trump have   
   done differently?"
