Well I've read some articles and he got rescued because dolphins were swimming near him which allowed him to be spotted.

Definitely not the craziest story coming from Florida. wink I would even say that's fairly normal for Florida.

Is it wrong to wish someone die from COVID if their direct intently malicious actions led to hundreds of thousands of deaths from COVID?

Something to wonder. I make no claims one way or another of course.

So Trump is guilty of all those deaths? Falowing your logic every single leader is guilty of deaths in his country. Trump has many sins but considering him guilty of covids death is just plain wrong, considering every state was free to take his own measures and the more vocals on acuzing Trump are the democrat side which didnt listen to a single thing what Trump said.

I didnt  hear for example in Spain or Belgium opozition saying that the  leader is guilty of all deaths, as Jowy said  "hundreds of thousands"

Stop right there.  The answer is yes, with no qualifiers.  Speaking as a moderator, advocating violence or death is not appropriate here or anywhere. (You didn't, but I'm issuing the caution now.)

Bolsonaro for sure. Not sure about the situation in Spain or Belgium, I don't know about their politics. From the numbers it looks like both got hit with a second wave. But they must have taken action against Covid at least initially or else the cases wouldn't have gone down before the 2nd wave.
