According to the graph, Biden has done considerably worse than Trump handling the pandemic. How much of that is Biden's fault or Trump's fault?

The graph includes China, so purely a bait and switch BS post.

Trump set the stage for covid denial and rejection of vaccines to eliminate covid; a vast number of people still refuse masking and vaccines, and it isn't easy to manage anything without support from that group.

According to the chart, the red line (that is basically overlaying the X axis) is China.

Yes, lots wrong in that graph and its set-up. Here is something from the comments:
Also, the average is calculated wrong/misleading. 550 days is about Biden's term but the total deaths is the sum of Biden's term and of Trump's COVID term.

So, a Tweet from a guy who leans right now suggests COVID is a big deal and the blame of the POTUS.
Pardon my not being surprised.

I reject China, and they are likely lying about everything. This is about our handling of covid

The chart is a "comparison" of the US and China. Look at the red line.

No one can disassociate Trump from laying the groundwork that caused so much disaster.

It's still spreading exponentially, so naturally over time there will be increasing infections and deaths but the death rate is no doubt dropping like a rock. That's a Biden success...

Let's discuss Marty's graph instead; I don't find anything related to China as productive as the way we handled it.

I missed that, thanks!! So China has zero deaths
? Then why are the people rioting in the streets against the lockdown?

Agreed. Mr. Reinhart had a political point he wanted to make.

I chose to place quotation marks around the word comparison to suggest it is a joke. Kinda like when you make air quotes in conversation.I missed that, thanks!! So China has zero deaths

I trust nothing about reports from China.

"Thus far, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Biden has presided over about 353,000 deaths in a little over 10 months, compared to about 425,000 for Trump in his final 10-plus months. So there have still been fewer deaths under Biden than under Trump, in a similar time period."

Yeah, it's the rates that make for the best comparisons.

”more concerned about abstract economic indicators“. Yeah I stopped reading there he’s a moron.
Once the pandemic ended here (July 21’) I stopped worrying about Covid - much more pressing things to address.

That graph illustrates how premature your ejaculation was about it being “over”.
