    At least 100,000 people would be alive today who are now dead if Hillary Clinton were president

        I think the current estimate is closer to 250,000.

        It is actually probably at least 200,000 and that is just the US. A strong and scientific US pandemic response would have also likely have innumerable benefits in preventing COVID-19 deaths around the world.

        I appreciate the conservative estimate, though.

        Yes, that's absolutely true. I think about this almost every day. I think about all these preventable travesties... i get so angry.

        Honestly I don’t know. I suspect antimaskers would still exist because “I ain’t listening to no liberal female!” The lives saved would have been early on though, no PPE shortages or ventalator issues.
