n a recorded call, President Trump called Bob Woodward on February 7 and revealed that he thought the coronavirus pandemic was far more dire than what he had been saying publicly, the Washington Post reports.
Said Trump: You just breathe the air and thats how its passed. And so thats a very tricky one. Thats a very delicate one. Its also more deadly than even your strenuous flu. This is deadly stuff.
At that time, Trump was telling the nation that the virus was no worse than a seasonal flu, predicting it would soon disappear, and insisting that the U.S. government had it totally under control. It would be several weeks before he would publicly acknowledge that the virus was no ordinary flu and that it could be transmitted through the air.
The interview was recorded and is detailed in Woodwards new book.

None of this needed to happen the way it played out.
If an actual grownup was in charge, the impact would have been less severe.
More lives would have been saved.
I'd still have my job.
