I'm reading your poem just two days later, and according the data in front of me, the US death toll is now 217,553.

What is audacious, what makes both Trump and Pence despots is their "truth" that they have performed well. I will never understand those who gladly drink that Kool Aid.

I know a little about what it takes to beat the SARS-CoV-2 virus, having being a part of one of the strictest lockdowns in the world. You know, the type that actually works.

Adjusting for population, if the US did as well as New Zealand, the death toll would be 1,656.

Your poem makes us firm political allies.

My short-term hope is that Biden and Harris win. My longer-term hope is that the US improves the electoral system, improves the calibre of leadership, and most of all make improvements to policies and legislature.
