What does this story tell us? Nothing. No matter how good the government is, there would be definitely be one preventable death. Also looking at her previous posts, this is like she found the perfect story, or it isn't unlikely she is making up the details.
This story wasn't related to Trump at all and yet reporter mentions trump 16 times by name and many more by pronoun. I hope HN stops upvoting clickbait stories like this just because this anecdote agrees with what you want to read about.

- b0sk 6y agoMaybe if our COVID response was like Germany, a lot of lives would have been saved, like her grandfather. Why isn’t it the fault of Trump who was focused on his re-election and did the bare minimum? “no matter how good the government is..” classic strawman. it’s like saying no matter how good the vaccine is, there would be one preventable death, so why blame anti-vaxxers.
- YetAnotherNick 6y ago"Maybe if our COVID response was like Germany" This is classic strawman. What I said is true, that this one anecdote doesn't tell anything. I am not saying Trump's response is good, just that this story doesn't prove anything just a zeal against trump.
