So very true. It started with the Clown in Chief at the time. Some of his finer quotes on the subject of covid.
Jan 22, 2020: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
Jan 24, 2020: " Trump praises China’s handling of the coronavirus: “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”
Feb 2, 2020: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
Feb 10, 2020: “Looks like by April, you know in theory when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away.”

Mar 6, 2020: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.
March 17, 2020: “I felt like it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
And then he starts his attacks on others:
Mar 26, 2020:“We’ve had a big problem with the young, a woman governor from — you know who I’m talking about — from Michigan,”
Mar 27, 2020: “I love Michigan, one of the reasons we are doing such a GREAT job for them during this horrible Pandemic. Yet your Governor, Gretchen “Half” Whitmer is way in over her head, she doesn’t have a clue. Likes blaming everyone for her own ineptitude!”
Mar 28, 2020: “Mike, don’t call the governor of Washington. You’re wasting your time with him…”
Mar 30, 2020: “...it’s not the flu. It’s vicious.”
