The virus doesn't care what tRump says or what the MAGATs believe.

There is no PR war to win here.

The virus is deaf, indifferent, non-persuadable. It will continue to do what it does, no matter how often tRump lies, no matter how much the MAGATs scream, no matter how red their faces get, no matter how many inappropriate comparisons get made to other causes of death.

The virus infects people, then it kills them. Simple. That’s what it does. The only defense we have until there is a vaccine is to slow its progress. The virus won’t know what we’re doing, good or bad. It will thrive or die depending on how much we deter or assist in its spread. Simple. Scientific.

What’s so hard to understand?

tRump failed to defend America, regardless of where the virus originated or how it got into the wet markets.

tRump destroyed in 2019 the first line of defense: US experts living in China watching precisely for pandemics.

tRump dismissed January 2020 Intell Community reports because ... they are the IC he hates.

So much more.

Dr. Anthony Fauci recently appeared on The Daily Show and was interviewed by Trevor Noah. When the issue of a coronavirus timeline came up, Dr. Fauci stated: "The virus is the clock."

When people were intimating that’s there was some firm of negotiating with the virus. Really. I recall those discussions only 6-8 weeks ago. This or that might happen. Blah blah blah and uh huh.

This is nearly the perfect virus for a host of reasons
