OMOLIVES, Your post suggested negligence was relatively equal on both sides. I gave evidence to the fact, i believe, that the Republican party exhibited much more irresponsible negligence, from the President down through his administration to their supporters. The county bit you questioned was i'd say where mitigation strategies were least put into practice, including the wearing of masks. I'd say my post made it clear i was saying no to your relative equivalence position.
"?Not sure what you are saying beyond a political pitch. "
And it wasn't a political pitch, even though that was your subjective take on it.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
