A totally new virus, humans have no resistance against. You better take that bloody seriously.
It wasn't 5%... but 170.000 Americans dead in 6 months compared to 30-40.000 pr year to the flue..


He knew it was airborne in Jan.
He has been against using masks since then.

He knew social distancing would work.
He did not warn against that... he even wanted to do rallies.

He knew younger and children where affected.
Lied about that as well.


Just imagine IF this totally new Virus, was even more aggressive.. with the poor job Trump has done, there could absolutely be hundreds of thousands more Americans dead!!
He was privately talking about how bad he knew it was, while publicly downplaying the seriousness and going against advice put down to specifically stop Pandemics from happening.
He did stop planes.. which was a good thing. Maybe he should tell the American people the rest as well.

As a result, literally tens of thousands of Americans died because Trump didn't warn people when he knew.


He could have gone out in January and told the nation how bad this could be and be prepared to take precautions because of airborne infections.
But, Not a word!!

Socialism for big corporations and military industrial complex

Rugged individualism for the individual.
