Dear Callousness,

People are dying from Covid-19 because of your lack of empathy and your continued lies.

There’s that 30-year-old man who went to a Covid-19 “party” because he believed Covid-19 was a hoax, thanks to you. He’s dead now. How many more will die before you show some semblance of human feeling?

But wait! Instead, you re-Tweet the asinine statement of a game-show host that CDC is “lying” about the dangers of Covid-19.

For your purposes, what could be better than having your followers believe that the federal government in charge of fighting disease lies to them? Don’t you love to feed the paranoia of your base? The hell with their lives.

Other lies: your continuous statements that the US has the virus under control.

The truth: The United States has one of the highest rates of COVID-19 deaths per capita in the world. In the United States, more than 139,000 people have died from Covid-19, and our death rate of 425 deaths/1 million population is seventh worst among all the world’s 200 countries.

Here in the United States, we are suffering from more than twice the death rate of Iran.

We are grieving for our lost family members at about four times the death rate of Germany.

We are attending funerals of people who died from Covid-19 at five times the rate of Austria and South Africa and seven times the rate of Saudi Arabia and Hungary.

Why Republicans allowed you, the most corrupt, incompetent, and lying person ever to occupy the Oval Office, to continue in that role is beyond me, but we will remove them from Congress in November.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
