COVID started under Trump and he tried to pretend like it wasn't a big deal. Do you not remember him catching COVID while in office?

Edit: There's an extremely long lag between elections and taking office in the US since the dates for both at the federal level were established in the late 1700s and we haven't bothered to change it. Elections at the beginning of November, take office in January.

I don't really follow foreign politics like I should, so, no, I don't remember that. It is interesting, though.

That is a huge lag. Wow! Thanks for both of those clarifications!
