A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Yes, he is incompetent and policy-wise he could have done a lot to flatten the curve. I wasn't trying to vindicate him, I was just saying the skate-park-like graph was a little misleading without basic statistical context like what year it was referring to, and whether the number of cases was in the US or worldwide, etc. I think it's entirely possible to criticize and even ridicule him while still being intellectually honest, and showing the initial increase at the onset of the pandemic is just not good practice.
I get that it's just a meme, but I prefer a basic standard of integrity. Otherwise, what really sets us apart from the right-wing troglodytes?
