Funny, what he said then is exactly what happened. Many got COVID and went right along like nothing happened, because they were asymptomatic, so they didn’t know anything happened, didn’t realize they needed testing.
Knowing that it could be spread without people knowing that they even have it and also knowing that it was much deadlier than he was saying publicly… but somehow… this is shown to make the President look good.
It was running around in February. There were cases of unknown origin then. There was nothing we could do about the spread. There’s nothing we’re doing about it now. It’s slowly declining because transmission vectors are limited by herd immunity at this point. Been going down since early August.
They didn’t realize they needed testing, you say? Now, why would the public not have known this information?
In a January 28 top secret intelligence briefing, national security adviser Robert O’Brien gave Trump a “jarring” warning about the virus, telling the President it would be the “biggest national security threat” of his presidency. Trump’s head “popped up,” Woodward writes.
O’Brien’s deputy, Matt Pottinger, concurred, telling Trump it could be as bad as the influenza pandemic of 1918, which killed an estimated 50 million people worldwide, including 675,000 Americans. Pottinger warned Trump that asymptomatic spread was occurring in China: He had been told 50% of those infected showed no symptoms.
In ■■■■■■■ January he knew this was the case, and did nothing. NOTHING. Well, he did tell a reporter for a book on him. But the rest of the public? Nope. We could all ■■■■ off.
As shown… if the President acted earlier on information that he had instead of actively misinforming the nation a lot … and I mean tens of thousands of people a lot… would still be alive.
No, election eve style timing and the lib journo coordinated manic jumble at the WH press briefing, plus biden"s prepared remarks afterward are the plot.
