A Facebook acquaintance posted the meme shown below on January 29th, some nine days after the Biden administration took over the federal government. Based on what he wrote, he reposted it from someone who had copied it (presumably from Newsmax or OAN) on January 25th. Either that, or he doesn't realize that from January 20th to January 29th is not "less than a week."
Apparently the right is planning to blame the new administration for everything that has happened since 12:01 on January 20th, 2021. But wait: let's take a look at those numbers. What are they, anyway? Well, some bubble-brain is apparently tallying the number of COVID deaths every day and says that Biden's to blame for every one that occurred after he took office. That's a little weird, given that the same people didn't blame Donald Trump for a single COVID death, but never mind that little inconsistency.
Apparently, J____ and his mental midget friends don't realize that death by COVID-19 isn't instantaneous. No, according to one study by Harvard University scientists, death rates lag infection rates by four to six weeks.
So J_____'s meme is flawed: few, if any people infected during the Biden administration were dead five days later, or nine days later when he reposted this, or for that matter, today (2-2-2021). The people who were dying in late January were most likely infected in a surge of cases centered around the holiday season.
You can count that as one more victim of a lack of critical thinking...
As for the 11,000 jobs lost, who knows where that comes from? maybe it's the December unemployment numbers.
