You are a damned LIAR!.... NO! Trump DID NOT KNOW it was worse than a normal flu! WHY? Because in January IDIOT, there was not enough solid evidence to make that determination. In fact you IDIOT and LIAR, there was not one medical person or so-called expert who came forward within the month of January INCLUDING anyone from Trump's task force who announced that covid19 was 6X more deadly than the flu and airborne....GOTCHA AZZ HOLE!.....Your sponge brain is AGAIN soaking up LYING demCRAP talking points.......Also you damned HYPOCRITE, it was your party namely the demCRAPs including PIGlosi, who all ON VIDEO TAPE played down the virus during the months of Jan, Feb and well into March, saying to go about our lives, no need for masks and nothing to fear from covid 19......Forgot all about that? Right HYPOCRITE?..................Checkmate JELL-OOOOOO, southman or whoever......LIAR!
Trump on Feb 5: "It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. … And so, that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than your—you know, your, even your strenuous flus. You know, people don’t realize, we lose 25,000, 30,000 people a year here. Who would ever think that, right? Pretty amazing. And then I say, well, is that the same thing? This is more deadly. This is 5 per—you know, this is 5 percent versus 1 percent and less than 1 percent. You know? So, this is deadly stuff."
So.. he believed it would be 5% vs 1% for the flu. Thats five times larger. 30.000 flu x 5 = 150.000
During a press conference on Feb. 26, for instance, Trump encouraged the public to “view this the same as the flu” and to “treat this like you treat the flu.”* Less than three weeks earlier, he told Woodward the disease was “more deadly than even your strenuous flus.”
But he didn't warn anybody.. publicly and by tweets everything was under control.
Five days after his Fox News interview, on March 9, Trump again sent out a tweet comparing COVID-19 to the common flu.
Trump on March 19: After he had acknowledged privately the threat of the virus but played it down publicly, Trump told the journalist that “I wanted to always play it down, I still like playing it down, because I don’t want to create a panic.”
