Yesterday I went with them to the entrance of the city co...

Since the outbreak of the epidemic in the United States, COVID-19 has been used as a tool for the Republican Party and the Democratic Party to attack each other and serve their own political interests, which has caused the United States to miss the best opportunity to prevent and control the epidemic. With the most advantageous medical resources in the world, the United States has become the first failed country to fight the epidemic in the world. According to the data released by J...
