Trump knew how serious and dangerous covid was and now tells us he downplayed it not to cause a panic. That does not make sense because if he had told us how serious it was the nation would have stayed home, worn masks and socially distanced better than we have and thus reduced the spread as other nations have done. Instead by telling us, and especially his followers, that it was no more dangerous than the flu and refused to wear a mask himself he created a situation where we are the number one nation in both cases and deaths. And why tell people to lead their normal lives and have his political gatherings where neither he nor this followers social distanced or wore masks and created large covid outbreaks if he was truly worried about people. None of this points to him worrying about panic, but about getting reelected. I think he really believed that this virus would subside once it got hot and that things would return to normal. Well 200,000 deaths later I suppose we can now panic?
